Gia Batsand is a girl who’ll be turning 18 this year However, finding on her a hint of girlishness, that you’d nore, was difficult
The first thing that catches the eye is her cold appearance that looks as if even a single drop of blood wouldn’t cohtly etiquette and martial artist style e, played a role in creating that proud i one of the 12 worldly skills and the fact that she’s the right hand of the Earl of the Silver Lion, who’s occupying the first seat of the Twelve Sky Barriers, and is also referred to as ‘the e in the world’, she was an untouchable existence like a flower bloo on top of a plateau
The Azure Rose Knight
It was around when she was 14-years-old It was then that she was officially recognized by her teacher for co From that point on, people started to refer to her as the Azure Rose Knight To be able to receive a title through one’s ability alone, and not through lineage, meant that the individual was able to display incredible skill within a single field, so for soe to receive a title was a rare act
However, Borg Edentras greeted that girl without any respect
“To come here at this time, what is it?”
It’s hard to say that his attitude was disrespectful when you consider the fact that this man had also received his title of Lunar Scorpion around the sae Gia received her own and had also on Street Of course, if you consider the fact that Gia was a guest, then this would indeed be a rude behavior, but since Gia was a special guest, in variousbelieved that this was more appropriate for her
“Your orders shouldn’t have been that difficult Did you coain because you couldn’t remember? I did hear that the Azure Rose was dumber than she looked, but I hoped it’d be a false ru to ith an incompetent accomplice That idiotic appearance is ht”
Borg spoke while stroking his goatee that spread frole line Instead of a chair or a cushi+on underneath the botto This de, which possessed four ars, had all of its nails and teeth pulled out Although des were a lifeforrow out new nails and teeth for the rest of their lives, this de had constantly had those pulled out whenever that happened and was fated to continue receiving that treatment
Without feeling unrest, the Azure Rose Knight, Gia Batsand, spoke
“It’s true that , however, the reason why I’otten my duty”
If Borg’s current attitude wasn’t a behavior that should be taken towards a knight, then Gia’s attitude wasn’t a behavior that was appropriate to have towards a thief, either Except, Gia’s case wasn’t sied depending on who the opposition was The Azure Rose Knight had the peculiarity of speaking courteously to even a just born infant That was one of the influences she received from her teacher
“Then what is it? There hasn’t been any contact froe Tower yet”
“I need proof that the Fedchants forged the documents”
Borg furrowed his brow
“Didn’t we coreement that we didn’t need that?”
“If there’s none, then please make some”
“How bold of you What’s the reason? After having co your lord?”
And that was the decisive reason why Borg didn’t respect Gia In Borg’s sense of values, he dee who obeyed as that he was seated on top of
The Azure Rose Knight gave a sidelong scowl
“It’s not for that kind of⎯⎯⎯reason If we possess that sort of evidence, then we can put her into an even bigger trap”
“A bigger trap, is it? For example?”
“A trap that’ll le inch For security reasons, I can’t give you the exact details”
“For security reasons, you can’t tell me the details, huh?”
Borg snorted He scanned Gia up and down once ave off a dull glow similar to that of the shi+ne a scorpion’s carapace eht
“You know, nononsense”
“Is it nonsense?”
“Yup The fact that so orders well until now, suddenly co peculiar happened”
Borg flicked the finger that was stroking his beard
“I’ll tell you what I think, Azure Rose I believe that you’ve had a change of heart Whether it’s because of your petty conscience, your guilt, or your fear, you’ve suddenly started to have a feeling of doubt in the fact that you’ve been deceiving your lord That’s why, in order to at least avoid this, you’re trying to do whatever you can to receive evidence, while alsosome additional plan that probably won’t ever happen”
In front of the eyes of the Black Dragon Street executive, which were shi+ning cunningly, Gia Batsand inhaled deeply

〈The opposition willthose lines〉
Before co here, Han Yujin had said that
〈It’s a valid assu fellow〉
Gia responded as so The Azure Rose Knight, as renowned for speaking courteously to anyone, spoke in plain ter in Korean Like how she was influenced to speak politely because of her teacher, this was the influence of the Korean person who taught her the Korean language Though that Korean person believed that it was a good thing since it gave her a gap, the only people who could comprehend this were the ones who understood both this world’s language and the Korean language, so it could be called a pointless gap
(TL note: Gap as in, ‘gap moe’)
〈Well, if he’s able to becoroup of thieves, then he should be capable of this much More than that,〉 As expected, the Korean as still unable to speak our world’s language, Yujin, was unaware of that fact and continued to speak 〈You’re not particularly the type to come up with a plan, are you? If someone like that were to say that they had a plan, then it’s obvious that the opposition would feel contempt and wariness〉
Gia cleared her throat Yujin scratched his temple
〈In other words, the first thing we have to do is get past those two things〉
〈Do you mean the contempt and wariness?〉
〈Yup In cases like conte on the situation You can say that it’s someone else’s idea Do you have anyone reasonable that you can use the naood if it’s the name of a felloho those people can’t behave carelessly towards, someone that’s difficult to confirm the information with, and someone on’t be particularly upset if they find out that you used their name〉
Even while Yujin was talking, he had a doubtful expression on his face as if he ondering if someone who perfectly fitted his quota could possibly exist The problem was that Gia did know an individual like that
〈There’s one person〉
〈A person, is it? Who?〉
〈My teacher〉
Yujin fell into thought Although it’s impossible for him to know exactly hoerful Gia is in this world, there’s no way that soht of a lord and an ability user with the capability of using a shi+ning blade that could cut anything, would be weak It wouldn’t be wrong to assume that the teacher of Gia, who’s like that, would be an impressive person
〈Okay Then use your teacher’s name Say it was that person’s idea The contempt will be breached with that, but the problem now is the wariness······〉

“This isn’tIt’s my teacher’s idea”
Borg twitched He had kept in mind the possibility that this plan wasn’t Gia’s, and he had also borne inup Yellow-Green Grass’ nah Gia’s mouth was someone who easily surpassed his expectations
“The Amethyst Swamp of Despair(紫毒沼)······ The Draconian Demonic Spear(至嚴魔槍), did?”
“I have learnedthat person, there is no other individual that I refer to asto that person”
“Why that person?”
Borg’s brown eyes were tinged in caution As on Street, the organization of thieves and swindlers, he knew that much about Gia’s teacher as well
It’s aexpression He knew very well about the ‘rumors’ The rumor that the person had literally erased an entire labyrinth within a single day, the rumor that they would coht bloody battles with the otherworldly monsters that the Silver Lion Earl would summon for them, the rumor that one of their disciples was a member of the Twelve Zodiacs royal family, the rumor that they would raid non-licensed settle one or two people in order to eance on theoodwas the fact that all of those ru them all up
In other words, it’s the sa known about Gia’s teacher, and in principle, Borg couldn’t accept an idea given by that sort of individual Nowas fir’s broad- sheathed

〈If you get past the conteet that much worse〉
〈Why’s that?〉
〈The fact that he can’t hold sonore the issue If he’s unable to ignore the issue, then that ed the other person that much as well〉
Gia understood
〈It’d be aard to just ignore it, but if he accepted the plan, then it’d feel like he was being controlled, so like that?〉
〈Yeah Therefore, it’s a given that his caution will go up If that Borg fellow is exactly like the person you’ve grasped hie he has is the fact that he doesn’t have to do anything He has no need to wake up a sleeping wolf〉
〈Then what should I do?〉
〈For starters, you need to lower their wariness If you dig up the source of the wariness, which I mentioned earlier, then it’s the fact that ‘he doesn’t knohat your intentions are’ That’s why you have to create a scheme that he can understand〉
That’s what Yujin said

Gia Batsand spoke the words that Yujin had said to her earlier
“Youkilled”
Although she had started her line with ‘Youdidn’t expect one bit The Azure Rose Knight continued talking while looking at Borg with the cold face that was unique to her
“The reason her Excellency the Earl is in this ned under the House of the Earl’s name Moreover, are you unaware of Her Excellency’s te this incident or spending the remainder of my life tied up in the torture chamber”
Gia didn’t like the words that were currently cohtly Even for Gia, that was so which she was so thankful for that she could cry
She was constantly afraid of whether her lord was broken beyond repair, or whether she was latching onto an ienerosity that the Earl showed sometimes made Gia Batsand feel relief
Although, as an executive of the Black Dragon Street, Borg was proficient at soic spells, he doesn’t have a spell that could read the minds of others Ever since the death of the head of the Odd Sky Barriers, 350 years ago, no one with such an ability ever existed again, and Borg isn’t that great of an existence Gia’s cold face also had the function of being an excellent poker face Thus, while not realizing what sort of thoughts were going through Gia’s head, Borg whistled
“Didn’t you say that you could handle it yourself? You said that since you tere like siblings, at the very least, your life wouldn’t be at risk”
“It see” Gia spoke in a pure tone and lowered her head “Since I did not want to die, I needed to find a way”
“So you latched onto your teacher and cried?”
Borg burst out in laughter He believed that he understood the situation Hiswas aaze and biting her lips
“I get the gist of what happened” A crude glint appeared in the Black Dragon Street executive’s brown eyes “However, Azure Rose, if what I’ve understood is correct, then isn’t that solely your proble you? What do I gain?”
〈 For starters, say so Yujin’s advice, Gia spoke
“I’d be grateful if you did it out of your benevolence”
“I don’t give out soot to this position? Especially if the person is fe like mercy······ that’s an undeserved emotion”
Borg spoke in an a this situation
Gia felt disgusted, but with her iceberg-like self-control, she hid that emotion You could say that it’s the only positive influence that ca with the Earl’s bad hobby
“If I’e Toill be troubled”
“I know I know, you know? That’s right, Azure Rose If you disappear now, then both the Mage Tower and His Honor Rio will be troubled Sir Jaho Azum······ well, I’m not sure about him In any case, if I were tobusiness However······ that’s right, the thing I’ about is, if I take care of your side, then there’s a need for you to show a little sincerity as well”
Borg then shoved his hand into theon top of and felt around its eers and obscenely rubbed the
