Volume 1 Chapter 15 (2/2)

「… Tch」

Stalin, as about to strike his mortal blow, juainst fire ic

He would definitely burn if he didn't retire

The fla the barrels with alcohol and destroying everything

Stalin leapt toward the entrance while avoiding the flaer continue hiswith me?」

「… I'd rather, abstain Goodbye」

After saying that, Stalin started running towards the exit

As the fire tried to consume him, he increased his speed

「Wait!」

My words were ignored and Stalin escaped through the exit

Onlyin the ar probably thought she was already dead

Then she put her hands on her neck and was surprised to discover that she was still alive

「… Wow I'm alive」

She see

When Edgar approached h I didn't feel it too s are still hot

Also, when the effect of ic dissipates, ill be consumed by the flames in an instant

We both ran out of the rooed to escape on time

◆◆◆◆◆

I still felt the musty smell

Even so, without a doubt, ere abroad

It was the alley

Edgar, who somehow escaped with me, put the rock back in its place

「Seriously, he used soic

I would definitely be dead if not for your help, Regis」

Certainly, if I hadn't done anything at that time, that man would have won

There is no way it wasn't so considering his power

Hogos seeerous mercenaries

I must hurry up and coh Wokins is in the mansion, it never hurts to have so back now――」

「Ah!」

Edgar's scream interrupted me as he said that

What happens so suddenly? Do you plan to use the Futae no Kiwami?

It's unexpected, but I don't think it's impossible if it's her

Even so, it looks different than I re into account her position, it could also be the Gatotsu Zero Stance

I call her to find out what really happens to her

NT: I really didn't understand what he was talking about It seems to be a reference to a series called Rurouni Kenshi+n, but unfortunately I know nothing more than that

「So? What is the proble alcohol!

Please help ain」

「… Do it yourself」

When I decided to leave her, Edgar started asking me for help with tears in her eyes

I wonder why it will be? When I see her in that state,faster

It can not be helped So her reopen the entrance to the hideout

「Thank you Let's drink together later」

「I told you that I'm only 7 years old」

「No, you didn't tell e」

「That… didn't I say it?」

「No, well, ot it」

「Could you stop drinking at once?」

She really is a pitiful mercenary

I think I had said it before

That's why I can't keep wasting time

I have to tell the rest about Stalin as soon as possible

「I' back home now You should be careful too」

「WWait Have this in thanks for helping ar started looking for so in her chest

The inside of her shi+rt was co

From here it looked quite provocative

I wonder what you are looking for

Edgar smiles confidently

「I had a hard time recently

But I didn't plan to sit idly by

Therefore, despite having a very bad tiar took out a piece of paper

It was a strange gray paper

It also looked like it had been tra written in it」

「Fufun I ht」

「That is incredible To be able to do it in the ht …

Wait, why did you steal that paper?」

It doesn't see up soan to explain while pointing at the paper

「It is a ic power into it, the words will begin to appear

And since it is not affected by distance, they usually use it to give notices oruseful

However, I don't think it's solance, it see more than a plain sheet of paper

「Even if they can fool a nobleman or co in a hed happily

She see written on that paper

Ignoring ar raised her chest proudly

… They are big

Al a serious conversation Focus on the reason you stole that paper

「Hey, why did you steal it even though it didn't have anything written?」

「Is not that It's just that the other side can also erase what they have written on it for their convenience」

「So it's useless anyway, isn't it?」

「That's why I will uselike this, I can also use soic the thieves uses, Surprised!?」

No, that is not soive the i

I could have believed it if I didn't know you

I adet closer

「So? Will the words will be legible again once you use the ic?」

「So is With it I can reveal the confidential inforar let out an inappropriate laugh as she said that

She seeic

Maybe I should change my opinion of her

Of course, only if she didn't hold a bottle of alcohol while we talked

「That body possessed by this ic power covered the sheet of paper

Gradually the an to reveal as previously hidden

Soon after, the words began to appear

It see since they had deleted it

「It came out Let's see, what does it say?」

「… This is!? Give ar's sheet of paper and sahat it had written

It was hard to read, but somehow I could decipher it

The moment I read what the letter said, I felt a chill run down my entire back

『Preparations finished Head of the Din House To death』

To be honest, I didn't understand what it meant

But, from ritten on the paper, I could say that it was a very serious situation

Head of the Din House, to death

There is no doubt that the Hogos faction was pointing to Shadiberga's life

Edgar said that man named Stalin worked with his brother

In other words, the brother asn't here should be pointing to Shadiberga's life

Either way, they had gone to attack him

But honestly, I don't think Wokins loses

It doesn'tthe eneine that she loses

Even so, I can't take off this bad feeling

I move my eyes to the lines that ritten on the paper

Preparations finished

That was it

Those words were flooding my mind

While Wokins was in the a

But, if for some reason, Wokins weren't in the mansion――

… I have to make sure

Even if it's reckless

「Hey, what is the distance from here to the Southern noble District? ――」

「Nn?」

「Mega Telepath will arrive froar was silent for athat it was an eency, she answered me sincerely

「I don't know, I've never used it before, so I don't know the details

But I think it ical power increases in proportion to distance, I don't recoic Power Deployar raised her surprised voice

But ignore her and continue with the spell

I should be able to use it, even at this distance

From here, it will take me 15 minutes to reach the South noble District if I walk

If I connect the circuit by force, I h the recoil will be painful

However, I can't worry about those things right now

I chant the spell for Mega Telepath, a high-ranking ic circuit―― 『Mega Telepath』!」

I felt a pain si my head

The intense pain attacked me many times

I felt un to soak ed to endure the pain and iine Wokins' face

I ical power suddenly dispersed

Without being able to receive any response, the e I received was proportional to theofof a Telepath reacts that way can only

――『The Individual hom you wish to connect is outside the effective area』

The ic circuit was supposed to reach the ed reat consuical power

But, even so, it shouldn't have failed

In other words, Wokins is not in the mansion at this time

That is the only explanation

「… daain

This tia

He should remain in the mansion at all times

However, the pain of the previous rebound still reh for a second activation

I needed the saical power――Besides, it was still unreasonable to use high-ranking s are, I have no choice but to check it with my own eyes

In fact, there was still the possibility that Mega Telepath simply wasn't be able to reach the h I cannot assure that it is 100 safe

Even so――That Wokins wasn't in the mansion would be much worse

There are few people able to protect Shadiberga

「Here we parted, don't end up getting sick fro?」

Edgar asked me with a blank stare

I stare at her

I'ar also looked pale

As the situation was, I would have liked to accompany her to an inn

Actually, I would have preferred to take her with me to the mansion

Of course, just to increase our combat forces

I would certainly need her help if I wanted to protect myself from those assassins

However, it would be cruel to force her right now

Edgar is still exhausted, and is injured in several parts

She exhausted all her forces fighting that et away unscathed after a fight like that

I can't take her to a dangerous place

I prefer that she stay away for a while

「I'nored her voice

I ran to the Southern noble District with all the strength I had left

I a

I feel anxious I feel as if h I was about to collapse, I ed to return to theweird, whatever, just tell me in the comments
