548 546 Zero Thread Transformation (1/2)

”Well...... Fran, you have some sort of connection to that. So, no doubt about it?

Weena Lane asks a question to Fran with only her head out of the water polo.

”Mmm...”

”Ha... If I'd known in advance, I might have been able to prevent this, but I haven't been able to look at your material because of my busy handling it.”

”Materials?”

”Yes. When interviewing an official, the person's materials are to be released in advance from the investigation room. Well, in your case, you seem to be a celebrity there, and you've been collecting rumors since the beginning.”

You said you'd gather information before the interview. I guess there's something like that specialty department. So, you mean you give Weena Lane the information you might need from time to time?

”I've been looking for you since yesterday. I finally caught him this morning, and he's been sealed ever since? That was when I finally finished and tried to get him to the quarantine room...”

That's where Fran came across at the worst possible time.

”When I interrogated him, he told me he had traveled from the Beast Nation to the Gilbard continent, but resentment over there?

”Mmm.”

Fran nods and turns his dark, emotional eyes towards Zero Thread.

Chiara told me not to take revenge, but it just wasn't broken enough to ignore the zero lead that showed up in front of me.

Zero Thread, who was hit by a kill, stands behind Weena Lane, not running away. Weena Lane was whining about getting caught, but what are you treating me like?

”As I said earlier, I'm still in trouble for you to kill me. And, you know, because now I'm treating you like a temporary employee of ours. You can't fail to protect me. It's happening. Well, I can understand you're not convinced, so I'm not asking you to understand right now.”

……

”I just wanted you to pick a place to take revenge on me...”

”Look around you.”

Around? As I was told, Fran and I look around.

And I see the students who watched this one from afar sitting out of their hips.

”The damage is minimal because I tied the line along the way... Before that, the students got morose of the killing and intimidation you felt when you attacked me.”

The junction would be about the magic that surrounded Weena Lane after she grumbled some bump. Apparently, it had the effect of blocking the damage from the inside out.

That means it's definitely our fault the students are frightened.

When Weena Lane showed up, I thought it was as if I was in front of a dragon, but to the students, Fran was exactly like that.

He appeared suddenly, entangled in super magic, in front of a mysterious existence that scattered a vicious killing spirit, and I guess he lost his hips without even being able to escape. He stared at Fran with a face mixed with fear and fright.

”Ah...”

”I'm doing this to a lesser extent because I was a student of ours with a lot of rough experience this time, but if it was all over town, I'd panic a lot, wouldn't I?

”... sorry”

I guess I finally realized how little I could see around me. Flan bows her head in a quiet manner.

”Oh? Can you apologize here?

”? Because I did something wrong...”

”Honest kid...... Well, let's just do something about it.”

Weena Lane approaches a zero-thread to refrain behind her back as she takes her gaze off the flan she is bowing her head to.

Even though I was prevented, my blade had slightly slit my Zero Thread neck.
