The parade ground was quiet even after gathering so many people.
At the dean’s words to observe silence, everyone bowed their heads. Leaving them behind, Yohan carried Miri across the parade ground. Carrying someone on your back and crossing the parade ground while being careful of footsteps was more difficult than expected.
The distance to get out of the parade ground is about 300 meters.
For Yohan, who had low muscle strength, carrying a girl on his back and crossing it itself was a breathless task. Moreover, he had to tenaciously lift Miri, who was uncooperatively on her back, as she kept tilting.
Running like that, he was only able to slow down when it was time to get out of people’s sight.
“Heo-eok, hee-eok.”
“Leave this.”
Miri, who was hit in the stomach by Bastia. She was then able to open her mouth. Miri spoke into the back of John’s head.
“Put it down!”
“haha. I’m going to run out of breath It’s still hard, so stay still.”
“Who comforted me?!”
“hey. Once, ha. Can’t we talk about it after we’re a little further apart?”
I had no intention of asking in advance. She, who was carried on her back, hooked John’s hamstrings from behind.
“Huh?”
Miri’s foot cleverly caught in the joint twisted Yohan’s step, which was carrying her. Thanks to that, the two ended up rolling around in front of the flower bed, and Yohan almost punched his chin on the floor.
iron puck.
Inevitably, Yohan had to put his palm on the floor instead of his chin. Miri quickly rolled aside to get away from John, then stood up and said:
“What do you want from me!”
“Ouch, Mr. Lee. what are you doing! Lower your voice.”
Miri’s voice was loud, but fortunately she had already crossed the field. Since she had gone back into the building, it was unlikely that her voice could be heard beyond the playground. John said, touching his scratched knee on the floor.
“If you don’t answer, your feet will fly instead of asking. what do you want?”
“… you said It makes me run away.”
“so why?!”
Living is not logic. The smell of death was letting her know that she was spreading murder to John.
A murder spread by a woman who looks exactly like the woman she loved.
John did not know whether to regard it as a comedy or a tragedy.
“You, John of the Espertz family! You ruined everything! If it wasn’t for you, our captain wouldn’t have to die!”
“Just calm down for a moment.”
“Have I calmed down now?”
Yohan moved a little away from Miri’s kick. Then I thought about why she was in this state.
The jackal family’s circus performance and the appearance of the Inheritor were events that were not in the original scenario. However, John was no fool. From her reaction, John could read at least one thing.
“Were you, by any chance, a key member of the rebellion?”
At John’s words, Miri felt irritated and relieved at the same time. The identity that had to be hidden from the surroundings was heard calmly from Yohan’s mouth.
But at the same time, she realized.

Now, the reason to hide it is gone.
“Fuck, yes! What do you want?”
“what… I’m not saying what to do.”
Her left foot twitched as if it were going to jump out. It seemed like he was holding back while trying to kick. John raised his palm, which had been scarred from a fall, and said.
“Calm down for now. Because you’re angry right now in the wrong direction.”
“pup! Didn’t you kill them when they told you to kill them? All plans are ruined because of you!”
“me? What did I do? They said they wanted to stay at the hospital, so I went directly to the dean-”
“Previously! you then! I hope you don’t make a fuss!”
“A riot?”
John had to ponder for a moment what she was talking about. Before long, he remembered what Miri was talking about.
“Ahh. Did you fight the jackal back then?”
At the same time, John saw that Miri’s words made no sense.
“Hey, isn’t that strange?”
“what!”
“Well… I don’t know what your plan is, but there’s no way anything got caught on me.”
“Shut up!”
“Right? I didn’t even know what your plan was.”
“The jackal should have stayed here!”
“What does it matter? Actually, that guy is still here. You must be one of those kids who are silent right now?”
“So what!”

No matter how good she tried to look at her, she was not in a state where she could have a conversation. She seemed to be in a dilemma as she faced John. Undecided whether to kick it, run away, cry, or spit out abusive language.
Thanks to this, Yohan had to reason with the clues thrown by Miri. She is one of the Frodo family’s circus performers. and who participated in the rebellion. And the jackal is involved in this case.
And Johan was well aware of the character Jackal.
“I don’t know what your plan is, but the jackal couldn’t have directly participated in the plan to murder his own family… ”
John reasoned quickly.
“After all, you don’t mean that the jackal should be here at the academy-“
Miri followed John’s gaze. Johan was looking at the emblem of the Jackal family embroidered on Miri’s dress.
“I meant that the jackal shouldn’t go back to the Frodo family.”
Miri wondered if she should continue to listen to what Yohan was talking about. On the other hand, after John spit it out, his thoughts seemed to become more concrete. John was able to draw one conclusion.
“Is it an inheritance issue? Did you need money?”
Mi-ri didn’t like his way of saying that he knew everything.
“Shut up.”
“Right? Looks right. Did you even try to assassinate the Frodo family?”
Miri glared at John. The smell of death grew thicker, but John thought it was not bad. The secret skill of the Espertz family [The Smell of Death] allows its user to shine more brightly in a fight against a murderous opponent. John continued to look at her and said.
“If the jackal is here, it will take some time for the inheritance process to take place even if the parents die. It must have boiled the butler.”
John was convinced when he saw Miri’s expression.
‘Looks like it.’
John continued.
“Again, I have nothing to do with your unknowing plan being exposed. If that’s the case, it means that your unknown plan has been exposed from the beginning.”
The smell of death, which had bloomed without any basis, quietly faded. Miri was biting her lip until it bled.
John looked at her with sad eyes.
I couldn’t guess easily.
The heart of a person who has lost people who suddenly shared their will.
But he spoke the truth in a quiet voice.
“Then you should see that you survived because of me. Now, that place is your place of death.”
“Fuck. So, would you like to thank me?”
A drop of blood flowed from Miri’s lips.
“I feel like I want to rip off all the nobles right now. And just in time, you are also a noble.”
“For that to happen, I must live first. so you keep talking run away… Be quiet for a moment.”
Chubuck-
John clearly heard. The sound of boots stepping on the stairs. Johann reflexively jumped at Miri and grabbed her hand. But Miri grabbed John by the collar.
“If a man attacked the fodder, I would have thought he would win-”
“Shh. be quiet It’s footsteps.”
Chubuck – Chubuck –
had a feature. At the end of the steps, a dull iron sound was heard. Some irons were added to the ends of combat boots in this way. Both John and Miri knew one person who wore such shoes.
“Pilbo… .”
Miri’s body stiffened. Like a rat facing a snake. Come to think of it, the members came back dead after that escort ran off on horseback.
John’s eyes looked around dizzy. First of all, Miri had to be hidden. It’s difficult to make witnesses before escaping her.
However, it was in front of a flower bed where there was no proper shielding. Jumping into a flower bed and pretending to be a single flower is not realistic.
Chubuck – Chubuck – Chubuck.
What immediately caught my eye was a warehouse building.
A square building nestled between flower beds.
There was a pair of sliding doors. Judging from the keyhole where the door met, it seemed like there was a lock. What is unknown is the state of the case. Judging from the slightly staggered state of the door, he didn’t even know it was open now.
‘No, it has to be open.’
Knowing Pilbo’s strength, Johan first gave up the assumption that he would fight.
“Hey. Follow me.”
Miri didn’t move. Like a person paralyzed with a vengeance in front of fear.
Yohan cursed inwardly and hugged Miri. Although her legs were wobbly, fortunately Miri, a circus member, was light. It was fortunate for John, who had weak arms.
“You need to put some weight on.”
“What place-”
Yohan ran toward the warehouse door with Miri in his arms. The number of cases is two.
If it’s an unlocked door, go in silently and hide.
The problem is when it is locked. The door was made of wood, but John had no means to smash it without making a sound.
Of course, it was not a situation where there was no choice. John prayed briefly and ran away.
He rushed in and hit the door on his shoulder.
Dreuk-
Fortunately, the doorknob was pushed out.
Despite taking a wide stride, Yohan fell.
perok-
It wasn’t as painful as I thought. Because he collapsed on a bag of sand. Instead, sand dust rose and tickled the tip of his nose. John, who seemed to be coughing, closed his mouth and covered it with his hand.
Chubuck – Chubuck – Chubuck –
The sound of footsteps was a bit ambiguous, whether they were approaching or moving away. The door that had been pushed back quietly returned to its original position. Empty flower pots, shovels, and water jugs were scattered next to the collapsed sacks. It seemed to be a warehouse where items used to grow flower beds were piled up.
Chubuck – Chubuck – Chubuck –
Fear is not an infinitely cumulative emotion. Miri gave up in front of death, which became the sound of footsteps. My trembling body stopped, and a hollow laugh came out.
Miri looked at John quietly. The light that came in through the crack in the warehouse door made the outline of John’s face stand out.
“you. If they get caught, there will be all sorts of scandals.”
John, who was nervous, did not immediately understand the meaning of the words.
“What?”
“Because the noble boy played with the girl from the circus.”
Chubuck – Chubuck – Chubuck –
The sound of iron hoofs grew slightly louder. Yohan spat out swear words inwardly, but Miri was not interested in the sound.
“What the hell do you want from me?”
John held his index finger in front of his mouth.
Miri snorted at the gesture.
Chubuck-Chuck-Chuck-Chuck-Chuck-
chuck.
The sound of footsteps stopped. The light coming through the crack in the door was blocked.
Gulp- As John swallowed his saliva, a rough voice came from outside the door.
“I know you hid there.”
Breathing continued in the warehouse.
“I saw you running on your back. Miri and a boy.”
John, who was holding his breath, closed his eyes.
therefore.
whatever.
