He was a very well-dressed manHe wore a chic suit with a crimson tie and held a suitcase, and his blonde hair ell-keptHe had sleepy blue eyes that appeared to be a little low on motivationHe should’ve been in his er - it was hard to see him as any older than his h to be someone that all of Roland’s military was after, and to top it all off, he’d showed himself at middayMidday in the slumsHe didn’t hide his face at all, and he looked like soht’ve aimlessly wandered over by accident, aside from that noble suit he wore
This man anted by the police, and here he ithout a carriage, without guards, wandering around aimlessly in the slus for thieves or ruffians as he approached, nothing but smiles
“Hey, over there,” his coworker Emirua said
Miller nodded“I saw”
“That’s, uh, the guy we’re searching for…”
They’d released a police sketch by then - it’d been a while, after all“Yeah,” Miller said and nodded again
“He’s co this way,” Emirua said, unsure of what to do
Miller sht that his prey would come to himHe could have never predicted this“Eonna ht—”
His words stopped thereBecause he took some kind of attack and vanished completely
“……”
Miller stared, eyes widened in horrorHe looked around to see if there were other enemies, too, but there weren’tBut that was obviousBecause no one in these slums could pull a fast one on hi with the horrible things that happened in the slums nowadaysBut this…
“…What in the world is happening?”
“HeyYou’re Rahel Miller, right?” The suspect asked
He was Lieral Lieutolu, a foric
Miller gazed at the genius’ sleepy face
“……”
Could he defeat hies with a stare
Lieral continued to approach him, relaxed as could be“Huh, is Miller the one I just killed then? That’d be pretty bad…”
“I’oodElluah Emirua is the one I wanted to killBut really, you need to choose better coworkers~ he’s been going through the girls here and syste them, you know?”
Miller couldn’t answer
To be honest, he’d known about that for some timeBut that didn’tso wouldelse in this rotten country would ever change
It was rotten fro the branches wouldn’t helpIt had to be uprooted coe
But that hatever right now
“So our ht to dispose of a deed“No wayI came to see you”
“Me?”
“YeahI thought I’d cootten his place and decided to change this country looked like,” he said, his sleepy face lared“Well…”
Advertise his fist clench upThen he sht into Lieral’s cheekIt connected easily“Guah!”
Miller didn’t stop thereHe le Lieral’s throat, then kicked his knees out under hiround
“Sto…”
Of course Miller didn’t stopBecause he knew that he wouldn’t be able to
He’d decided how he’d act in this scenario soo: if he were even in the position to capture Lieral, he’d kill him without hesitation
Lieral was e in all of RolandSo he’d kill hiic
The military’s bounty notice said to capture hi hiled Lieral while slaround
He heard his skull crack
“……”
He thought it was over
“You have to get rid of irls”
That… was Lieral’s voiceIt was co from behind him
Miller looked down at the face of the lobbing off with the consistency of honey… and underneath Lieral’s melted skin… was Emirua’s face
“shi+t,” Miller saidHe sprung up and stepped away, then turned around to where he’d heard Lieral’s voice, tensing hi
He cursed his own shockHe cursed hi that he could defeat Roland’s strongest er to catch hi his just desserts
“…I’m an idiot,” Miller mumbledAnd then he focused on as behind him: a perfectly relaxed, sleepy man
Miller was so scared that hishi there like he was ready to lay down for an afternoon nap
“…An illusion?”
“Yeah”
“But I didn’t see you use any ic,” Miller said
“Are you sure you aren’t just dull?”
“Haha, that may be… but I won’t look down on you anymore”
“Heheh, probably notYou seeht me”
Miller nodded easily“It’d be impossible for me alone”
“Hhtning Flash,” he ordered
His subordinates from the slums appeared to surround LieralThere were about twenty of theic circle at the same tiicCounting Miller, they’d shoot twenty-one of the sae that, no matter howto coonna need you to die”
His spell was soon finishedEveryone began to speak the words to it at once
“I wish for thunder—”
Lieral didn’t react other than to look around, a little bothered by how ic circles had been drawn around him
And then Lieral Lieutolu opened hisFlash”
A ic circle like any other spell fro… but the speed at which it appeared was unlike what one saith Roland’s spells
Lieral hadn’t drawn that ic circleAnd yet he activated a spell
RidiculousMiller wanted to shout that it was ridiculousBut before he could a massive ball of sparks appeared in the center of Lieral’s s in long, thin bolts
One such bolt headed straight for MillerIt raic circle and made his spell disappearThe same happened to each of his subordinates’ spells
Lieral had destroyed them all with that one spellHe spoke calht? You’re just one personLet me confirm thatIf you’re not alone and there’s really a crowd around me, then I’ll have to kill everyone hereAre you okay with that?”
“……”
Miller raised three fingersIt was their signal to wait on standbyHis subordinates erased their presence on cue
Lieral nodded, satisfied“So what’ll you do now? Do you want to keep fighting a little longer?”
Miller shook his head“It’s”
“Hah… Says who?”
Lieral laughed, then pressed a finger to his ht from me”
Miller looked at his s ca outBut when he looked carefully he could tell that they weren’t bugsThey were lettersHe didn’t knohich country’s alphabet they were, but they poured out, and then soon disappeared
“…What did you do?” Miller asked
Lieral shrugged“You told them to standby, didn’t you? So you let them be killed by words”
“Wha—”
“It’s not surprisingIt’s because of your lapse in judgeh I said that I wanted to talk to you aloneSo of course this happened, right?”
“StopI’ll have them withdr—”
“It’s too late”
“……”
