‘This is the only place I can go without you.’
Turb-Turb-
Hare walked weakly through the alley where she lived as a child.
A place similar to a gloomy, stinky gutter.
It is a familiar space that does not require adaptation to Hare.
“Uncle. Mister. Mister. Mister. Mister.”
Hare walked frantically repeating her uncle.
Even her beggar, who was lying on her floor and begging, ran away from her at that sight.
Unlike her beautiful appearance, Hare was crazy about her appearance as well.
“Mr. Mister… “
Her hair was matted and covered her eyes.
Dirt on her clothes after rolling down the mountain.
Blood flowing from his hands.
All of her outward information revealed that she was insane.
However, there were people who took even such simple information lightly.
“Hey, I don’t remember getting a toll from you?”
“Mr. Why did you leave me… “
“… Is this kid ignoring you? There, stop for a moment.”
A group of thugs with rugged faces.
There were many bullies like this in the ‘garbage dump’ where Hare was born.
The voluptuous bully approached Hare with menacing steps and grabbed her by the shoulder.
“If a person speaks, you should listen, huh? Damn, are you ignoring me for being in a dump like this?”
“Mr. “
“What, what is he talking about? Hey, what is he talking about?”
“Oh, you keep muttering that you are an old man?”
The bully’s colleague brought Hare closer to her ear to listen more closely.
“Ummm… “
“So, do you think you know what I mean?”
“Wait a minute, I don’t know. Lol.”
The bully brought his ears even closer to feel Hare’s breath.
Then when the bully opened his mouth, his voice turned into a scream.
“Ugh, ahhh-!! My, my ears-!! Tongue, brother-!! I, that b*tch is listening to me!!”
“f*ck! That was a crazy year! Prepare for battle right now!”
“Two-“
Hare bit off the man’s ear.
She quickly grasped her surroundings with her red eyes shining.
‘Four men. One dagger. Two swords. A crossbow.’
It hasn’t changed since I’ve been here for a long time.
It’s rather good.
Good opportunity.
“This is a great opportunity to get revenge on you who killed the uncle.”
“M, what?! When did I see your dad-“
“Die.”
With that despair, Hare became a rogue bully.
Cut the carotid artery in her neck.
Red fountains rained down towards the sky, and Hare turned the man’s body around, scattering fountains of her blood in front of him.
The bullies couldn’t keep their eyes open.
“Sir, Mr. Baal-!!”
“My uncle must have died because of you.”
“What did I do-“
“… You must have done a single thing wrong with Uncle.”
I must have cursed at a passing man.
It must have stinked you.
I must have bothered you.
You absolutely must.
“Hey, hey hey… “
“So, die for you.”
Pu-wook-
Hare used bullies as her shield and thrust her dagger into the vitals of her bullies.
Unlike when she was with her uncle, she showed no mercy in her attacks, and the thugs’ bodies were badly mutilated.
It was all her actions to alleviate her own guilt.
Hare muttered as she leisurely walked out of her alley that had become a sea of blood.
“You must be… He died because of those bad guys… So I must avenge… ”
I am.
I need revenge.
Because I love you the most.
Hare hopes that someone will try to do something bad towards him.
She walked down her alley again, hiding her dagger in her bosom.

“Where did he go… “
I’m going crazy… !
Luna scratched her head at her complexity. She
She searched the city for two weeks to find Hare, but she couldn’t find a single strand of Hare’s pink hair.
“The old man said to find it within 7 days if he could… !”
Why isn’t the location written in the book… !
Luna wanted to throw the book out of frustration, but she hugged it countless times because it was a keepsake left by her uncle.
So she wandered around her downtown even today, and finally reached a place she had never been before.
“… I don’t think anyone can see here.”
Does Hare dare to enter such a dirty space?
“I know you’re from a back alley like this, but I wonder if you want to go back to a place like this… “
But it wasn’t anywhere else.
I’ll have to go in and take a look.
Because there might be.
So Luna covered her nose from the stench and headed for her alley.
“It’s dull… Upset… “
-Be patient, warrior. This is also an ordeal.
“Poem, noisy… ! I don’t want to hear your voice!”
Bang-!!
When Luna heard the voice of her holy sword, she immediately slammed her fist into the wall.
There is no way her spirit will collapse with the help of her holy sword, but since her uncle left, her spirit has suffered whenever the holy sword speaks to her.
It is safe to say that Luna’s patience was always at its limit.
“I’ll find Hare quickly and leave… Never open your mouth… Okay?”
-…
“Haa… “
I miss you man…
Luna sighs.
After thinking about the uncle for a moment, she headed deeper into the alley.
And soon after, she found a woman with a familiar face.
“Where did you see it, who was it?”
“… This is Irina, the leader of the Sylvester Knights.”
“Oh, that’s right. Uncle’s friend… “
This person does not know that the uncle is dead…
Hmm…
Should I tell you that the old man is dead… ?
“… Why are you staring at me like that? Do you have anything to say?”
“Oh no! I just want to know why the Templars are here!”
“Of course, for the safety of citizens. If you, Jun’s disciple, came here… Did you hear the news too?”
“News?”
What news are you talking about?
Irina said as she watched the article approaching her.
“So, what was over there?”
“There were five bodies stabbed to death by daggers.”
Huh, a dagger?
“Are all corpses impaled by daggers?”
“Yes, 20 stabbed corpses, I guess. They all penetrated vital points.”
“… If we add up to today, there are 65 people.”
From noble mtl dot com
A stab in the gut?
Is that something Hare is good at?
‘Something is strange… ? 65 More than that… ?’
Gulp-
Luna asked, swallowing her dry saliva and keeping her expression as calm as possible.
“Hey, Knight Irina.”
“What is it?”
“May I see the corpse… ?”
“As Jun’s disciple, it doesn’t matter what you see. However, the intention must be clear. What did you come here to do?”
“I… “
… It would be better to omit Hare’s name.
“I came here to search this place at the request of the uncle… “
“Then, can we say that this incident was the work of Grimoire?”
“N, yes… Well, it will… “
“… Right. I get it.”
Irina had doubts at Luna’s awkward acting.
However, since he was a disciple of an old colleague, he took Luna to the place where the body was buried without deep suspicion.
Seeing the state of those corpses, Luna couldn’t help but be in shock.
‘It’s the same. No, I’m better at it… ‘
Is your skill different when dealing with other people?
Skill as if stabbing the opponent’s vitals without an inch of error.
For some reason, even after a person died, it looked like he had stabbed a vital part.
‘This is… ‘
Luna closed her eyes, picked up what had fallen around her body, and hid it in her pocket.
“What are you doing, Luna?”
“Oh no! I didn’t do anything!”
“… Come out when you’ve seen all the bodies.”
“Yes!”
Hyuu-
I didn’t hear you.
But it’s nice not to be caught…
‘If this is the case, then the culprit is unconditionally determined to be Hare… ?’
Luna carefully took out Hare’s pink hair from her pocket.
There was a lot of her blood, but it was definitely her hare’s hair.
Two weeks after the uncle left, her friend became a murderer pursued by the Templars.
‘Before Hare was arrested… ! I have to find it before the Templars… !’
If Hare is imprisoned, she can’t defeat the demon lord!
I can’t even proceed with the things the goddess said about the old man!
So… !
“I-I’m going to go now! I’m fine… !”
Run away!
The moment she slips away from Irina’s gaze, she slowly moves her steps.
“Wait, Luna.”
“Hee-ik-!”
“I have a question for you.”
Irina asked in a serious tone, hardening her expression.
Luna couldn’t be caught and she was preparing to run away.
However, Irina’s continued words made her lose her strength.
“June… Is she doing well with Aina…? ?”
“… “
“How are the two of you getting along?” ?”
A stifling question.
Difficulty breathing, feeling that the circuits in her head are blocked.
It’s a trivial question to Irina, who doesn’t know her situation, but Luna recalled the atmosphere and situation at that time and put a lot of stress on her.
Still, she couldn’t help but smile.
“Of course… Uncle is doing well… “
“… That’s right, I’m glad.”
“Yes, I’m glad…” Then, I’ll just go… “
Luna trudged out of her seat.
‘But I didn’t lie.’
Your uncle will be fine.
I’ll definitely make it that way later.
“The goddess said that if you do well, you can save the old man… “
When you come back, everything will be back to normal.
So I’m going to bring Hare, who became a murderer, back home.
The warrior who could not be defeated muttered so much and went around the alleys to find her hare.
And then, all of a sudden.
It was a pitch black evening.
