72 – 24. If it’s unfair, I’m sure you followed it well.
As soon as you hold on to the handle, the darkness settles in front of your eyes.
And then after a while.
The scene I had seen before unfolded before my eyes.
If only there is a difference from before.
Whose eyes do you see?
Now I observe the world through the eyes of the target holding the sword.
In front of my eyes was my father who looked young.
The development continues similarly to what we saw before.
If the other day, it was like watching the situation from the sky or from a distance.
Not now.
Whose eyes am I witnessing the situation?
It was so self-evident.
Satturan, a close battle to observe by borrowing the perspective of one of the three characters and the target… The feeling was completely different.
A sense of intimidation. Threat. Nervous. Bore.
… Despite the fact that everything must be an indirect experience.
As if they were alive and breathing, each and every one of them has been conveyed in a true way.
Soon at the end of a short but long duel.
The two clash.
Winning or losing is clear.
However, unlike before, why did Grandeus collapse without using his vision?
… I hardly ever understood.
The jet-black knight who sat down on one knee on the ground like that.
Use your sword as a support.
And at that time, the sword stuck in an oblique line is the one.
… This now.
“… ….”
Back to reality.
For a short moment, the sword has endured countless storms and maintained its position.
… Still, he was standing there.
I tried pulling hard on his hand holding the sack.
Do not budge.
It’s as if you’re protesting, asking what you’ve done.
No. That was not it.
Just because there was no response, I felt like I was rejected for some reason, so maybe I was disappointed in my heart.
“… ….”
Since the person behind me is waiting, I let go without regret.
Isn’t today the day?
Otherwise… Isn’t the time ripe yet?
Or.
… Haven’t been given the right to hold it yet.
I don’t know what it is.
“The same goes for Master?”
Louie Lin patted my arm with her hand like a giant.
“Sure.”
I just smiled without saying anything.
As I was about to leave the ranks, I could see the figures of Leo and Lucy in the other side of my field of vision.
Let’s inadvertently approach a figure looking nervous in front of a flower stall.
“Ah, Mr. Riel!”
As if they had just met well, Leo’s whole face is bright.
“If you don’t mind, can I ask for help?”
“… Listen and see.”
The girl, who stood up with her cane on her back, showed a clear sense of urgency, as if she was about to step out at any moment.
Anyway, it might be her problem rather than Leo and others’ problem.
“I heard that a child named Rio was grabbed by men who looked like adults. Oh, Rio is here… Louise….”
The flower shop stall girl’s name was Ruines.
Such a girl, Louis Ness. Behind her, a little girl clung to her leg and looked up with uneasy eyes.
“It seems like an urgent matter, so let’s keep things simple.”
“Let me explain.”
Luciri explained on behalf of Leo.
“Leo is an orphan living in a small chapel here in Somern.”
The point was simple.
In the name of orphans, some ambitious children run some small errands, but sometimes this tends to lead to poor quality work.
Then, it is said that there are rare cases of being caught by mistake or for other reasons, or occasionally being kidnapped in the name of human trafficking.
“Appearance. Where is it missing and where is it likely to be?”
“That… I think I know a little bit.”
There was no map, so it wasn’t until we got to the edge, which was no different than a cliff, that Ruines pointed out a few places with his hand and started pointing out specific buildings or locations.
“I can’t pinpoint where… But it will be either over there or over there.”
“It just needs to be split in two.”
Leo said so naturally.
“… ….”
Are you a good person or do you have other ulterior motives?
The flower shop girl is beautiful, but… To try to help because of such a dark heart… Leo That boy is a little… How to say
‘He seems to have a lot of temperament.’
Who is Kariel herself who is actually helping?
‘Sure.’
If it’s because the spirit of chivalry is activated, that’s not the case.
Sympathy? It’s a little different from that too.
… It’s not like I don’t want to admit it or not.
“Then I’ll go over there first. It seems a little farther there. Ruirin. You go with them.”
“… ….”
Rui Lin seemed very embarrassed that she had to do something for no reward, but she didn’t say anything.
He only cursed at me with his facial expression.
“Sure.”
It’s no different from a cliff, so when she steps on it, it falls straight into the air.
She stepped on her back foot, starting with her back.
Now then.
In an instant, the view turned upside down.
The endless sky caught her eyes.
Undoubtedly, her body crashed.
“Huh?! Now, wait a minute—?!”
Leo and Lucy Lee, even Louis Ness and her little boy, who had been clinging to her, were startled and chased this way with her eyes.
‘It’s not that high.’
She stepped on the wall lightly and switched her body as it is.
After that, he controlled his speed by stepping on the wall several times.
I threw myself again.
After landing on the roof of the building without damaging it, we ran towards the target.

From noble mtl dot com
“… Are you an elf?”
Leo let out an awkward laugh at Lucy Lee’s admiration, not admiration.
“It’s not impossible to ride a building if you have a nimble body, but….”
I also added Sajok.
It’s true that it’s not impossible as the spaces between buildings are tight.
“Just do it. And do you move when you have time to admire? Or what, would you like to jump out of here like a master?”
Lucy Li and Leo shook their heads at the same time as if they had made a promise to Rui Lin’s uninspiring words.
“Let’s talk about what we can do together as we go. Or are you just messing around?”
“If you get caught by the guards, who would you like?”
Leo interrupted the conversation between the two realistic girls.
“Let’s go and think about that.”
“Isn’t it too late to go and think about it?”
“It is better to delay than not to be able to do anything about it.”
“That… Yes.”
Unexpectedly, he stabbed the core.
Of course, the three couldn’t confidently fall like Kariel, so the three ran straight to the place where the stairs were placed.
—-
Kariel reached the distance that would have taken dozens of minutes at the fastest in just a few minutes. She first landed on the roof of a large building that appeared to be a warehouse, and began examining her interior.
‘… ….’
A thick iron fishy smell emanated from the wind.
After crossing only a few roofs, the smell has thickened to the point where it’s almost like a stench, making me sick to my stomach.
“… ….”
If you get it wrong, you might end up in a bad situation.
But if there’s a kid here doing that Rio or something….
‘If only he had died.’
Should I even take care of the corpse?
She felt a bit disgusted with herself for coldly reflecting on this.
Kariel gave up her stealth maneuver and she descended from the roof to the warehouse entrance.
There were already traces of her blood from the entrance.
Like corpses, the sagging men had long since died without any presence or vitality.
“… ….”
When I opened the warehouse door, the bloody smell intensified.
“… ….”
Inside it, of course, there were a lot of dead bodies.
Was the heat enough?
Fortunately, the corpse of what appeared to be a child was nowhere to be seen.
Just.
“It’s scary.”
The person who stepped on the flowing blood suddenly glared in this direction.
A nervous gaze.
Sharp eyes.
Dark brown eyes and dark blue hair that hides them as if to hide them, openly scatter their presence among the dark warehouses.
“I heard that it will come if you kill them all, but it really does come.”
In the meantime, the young man muttered nonsense whether he was talking to himself or not.
Kariel kept her gaze fixed on herself.
“I came to look for a child.”
“Children? What kid?”
The young man frowned at him as if he didn’t know why.
“Did you run so busy to take care of strangers in a cruel world where children die anywhere?”
“… ….”
What do you know?
It wasn’t just a pointed tone.
There is something I know.
“That’s why I’m hunting like this. Don’t worry. It doesn’t matter what we do in other places, but we’re not soft enough to neglect going wild like that here.”
“… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
As a result of carefully looking around, I came to the conclusion that this is not the case.
“You want to go?”
“… ….”
“I thought I would check your skills. If you’re the one from the prophecy, didn’t you come here to get Grandeus’ sword or something?”
“… ….”
Prophecy. Grandeus. Knife.
Why did you come here?
I want to see your skills.
… How far the opponent has an information advantage with only a few pieces.
Kariel was able to guess.
More than that, it’s the prophecy.
In other words, Kariel herself is something that wanders around in a damn prophecy that someone has been talking about or writing.
What is the meaning of such a specific existence?
“In that prophecy, does it say whether you will win, live, or die?”
“Why? Would you like to make it happen if I tell you?”
The young man swings his sword into the air.
The raised sword pointed towards the ends of the earth without any sign of it.
Suddenly, the blood on the sword was sprayed like it was pouring.
Scattered on the bloody water on the hardening floor, causing countless ripples.
It’s just an instant.
… It wasn’t fast enough for the eyes to follow.
“I went up, so you know, right? But even you who said you were chosen didn’t get selected, did you? Then, isn’t it a matter of superiority in skill after all?”
“… What do you want to say?”
“You. You said you inherited Grandeus’ skills even though you weren’t from the Relief Knights? How is that possible?”
I expected it a long time ago that it might be intertwined.
… I didn’t expect it to come together in this way.
“Then are you from the great relief knights?”
“Yes. It is the third sword.”
“… ….”
Is that ranking meaningful?
Kariel couldn’t possibly understand that crazy head that was talking proudly.
“What are those eyes?”
“So what? Third and fourth, what does that have to do with me?”
“This is why you are a bastard without roots.”
This is what I’m going to say.
Confidence that transcends grounds. Pride.
Those shoulders, eyes, and expressions that are upright to the point of being arrogant.
… It’s something I’ve seen a lot of times.
Things that call themselves blue blood are like that.
Above all.
… Alexius.
That bastard who claimed to be of golden blood, even though it was a mask, always threw off his grounds like that and showed off his confidence.
In the end, I used to make it based on it, and actually create it.
That’s only possible because he’s that handsome.
I have to admit what I have to admit.
If it wasn’t for Elhermina, she would definitely be a genius beyond genius.
How strangely.
The guy in front of me is completely different from him, and it is clear that his way of living is also different.
For some reason, it smelled similar.
“Get rid of the grinning expression. Let’s stick together. Aren’t we supposed to talk amicably?”
“…… So, is there any reason to wrestle?”
It’s even more painful if you’re stuck in a place like this for a long time and then a misunderstanding happens.
“Then shall we ask the kid instead of you? The girl you brought all the way here.”
“Do you have the skills to do that?”
It’s a cheap provocation.
Above all.
“… Is the relief knights justice or protection of the weak? Wasn’t this the group that was promoting this? It seems that your identity has changed a lot after the death of Grandeus?”
“Are you the leader of the Demon King?”
That word unexpectedly stabbed this side of the lungs.
“What?”
“You don’t say no?”
What is it?
“Right now, rumors like this are floating around. A son of a great hero seeks the resurrection of the demon king. Called.”
“… ….”
It’s bullsh*t that will never happen again.
The truth is not important.
Especially if it’s true or not.
Someone believes in this and goes around talking about it.
That’s all that matters.
“Shall we go around bragging that the son of that great hero is here? So the fuss will be pretty big, right? Maybe?”
“… ….”
Is it a threat?
Or is it blackmail or a basic step for negotiations?
“Ha ha.”
Let’s beat it up.
“Yes. I will match you.”
I took out Elhermina’s sword.
No matter how you think about it.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with a better idea.
Besides.
… Is there any reason to avoid the oncoming fight?
What I was wary of was that there would be room for false accusations to be made by fighting around here.
That is, if only that problem is solved.
“Hmm?”
Rather than entering the warehouse, let’s leave from there as if we were hiding.
“You bastard?!”
Like a child who has been teased, a guy who hurriedly chases after him with a tantrum.
“Hey you bastard! Let’s stick together! Where are you bouncing and f*cking! Aren’t you standing there?!”
… A youngster who looks a few years older than ours, why is he doing this and is he no different from a spoiled kid?
In an instant, I crossed over and sat down on one side of the warehouse roof, waving my index finger at the guy looking up at me.
Then let’s give him a chin to follow him and leave right away.
“Yaaa!”
The young man’s roar, close to screaming, shook the whole area.
What to say, you asshole.
If you feel unfair, did you follow him well?
