Allen was wondering what to do now that he and Henriette had broken up.

　Perhaps everything I just said is true.
　There might be something that wasn't told yet, but at least it didn't feel like a lie.

　But that didn't mean he could just listen to what she had to say.
　Allen and Noel, but Leeds has come to find out exactly what that something that is happening here.
　And given Leeds' character, it's unlikely that he'd leave just because of the danger.

It's too late for that to be a danger in the first place: ......

　When a person from the kingdom is going to the empire, it's too late for that to happen now .
　There is no way that Leeds is not prepared for that, and although Allen is halfway there as his bodyguard, there is no way that Leeds will return when Allen says he will return.

　If that's the case, you have two choices left.
　You can either force Leeds to go home with you, or Allen can stay here too.

　Unfortunately, leaving Leeds behind wasn't an option to begin with.
　That would be the same for Noel.

　And if it comes down to which one to choose--

"...... well, there is only one, huh?

　I'd be lying if I said I didn't have feelings for it, but I had no choice.
　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one, it's also a matter of what you're going to do with it.

There is no doubt that joining up with them is the first priority, but ......

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get out of the back alley ...... and then turn your head.
　It's not that there was anything wrong with it, but it seemed to have changed just a little bit in the bustle of the city.

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to be sure about ...... because it's so far away from you.

　If you listen carefully, it's slightly more buzzing than before.
　I'm sure you'll be able to see it more clearly as you get closer.

There's something about ......, I guess.

　Still, I don't think we should call it an emergency.
　It's a bit of a burglary, if you will.

　It's something that happens all the time, but...

"Hmm ......, I wonder if anyone there knows anything about it?
......!"?

　At the end of the aisle, out of sight from where I was walking, I called out to them, and there was an overt reaction.
　Someone was startled, but struggling to keep their voice from escaping.

　And Allen shrugged his shoulders, knowing, of course, that someone was lurking there.
　Or rather, he could hear his raspy breathing, so how could he not know?

　But on the contrary, that's all we know.
　We don't even know if that person is connected to something that happened back in town.

　But.

"Hey, ...... it looks like we're both down on our luck. I didn't mean to kill him, but ...... is no way to go about it.

　A suspicious-looking man appeared from the corner of the aisle, with shaggy hair and stubble, dirty and ragged clothes, and sometimes bleary eyes.
　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends and family.
　You can find a lot of people who have been in the same boat for a long time.

　As he said, he would not hesitate to kill someone if necessary.

　And yet--

I don't even know what you've done to me, if you ask me what's going on?　I've never seen your face before. I feel like I could have just made up a good excuse in the first place: ......
"Ugh, shut up!　Don't mess around. ......!

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it than you might think.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the most out of this article.

　The reason why I was not able to declare it a dagger is because I sensed something like a strange presence in it.
　Just because it has the shape of a dagger doesn't mean it has any other possible use.

　However, even before confirming this, I saw "it" in Aren's eyes.
　A sticky liquid, closer to black than red.
　You'll be able to see that it's still fresh, or perhaps has fallen through the blade to the ground, and you can squint at it.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with us.
"Ugh, I told you to shut up. ......!

　At the same time as he shouted, the man waved his arm.
　Not within reach of the dagger, as it should have been, and seemingly out of desperation or threat.

　But .

　--The man's dagger is not within reach of the dagger, as one might expect, but it looks threatening, as if in desperation.

　Before he could even realize that something had gushed out from beyond, Allen had darted away.
　Something pierced the space where you were standing just before, and you squinted even more at its true identity.

The first thing that comes to mind is to look at the ......?　Ba, stupid, avoid ......!
It's not just a dagger, it's a magic tool. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work for you.

　Previously, Leeds had used a communication spell, and depending on the power contained in it, the spell could be used to attack.
　The man had apparently some kind of ......, but let's be honest, it's not something a slum dwelling man should have.

　As I have said before, mages are very expensive by themselves, and from what I've seen now, the lightning is powerful enough to burn out any ordinary person without difficulty.
　In that sense too, it's not something this man should have.

　There is no doubt that there is some reason for this, but at any rate, we should seize it for now.
　It's not our intention to cause damage to our surroundings by going on a rampage here for nothing.

Hi ......!

　But before Allen can move, the man senses his presence, and before he can move, he swings his arm out again.
　Thunder gushed from the tip of the dagger, and with a roar, a section of the wall was pierced and collapsed.

　But that means it didn't hit Allen.
　You've moved your body out of the line of fire and jumped straight into the man's body.

　And with the same momentum, he pushes the man down to the ground.

You'll be able to see the ......!　Shit, shit, shit. ......!


I don't think we should let them use it any longer.

　Pressed to the ground, you kick the dagger out of the man's hand as he tries to swing it.
　Once he had mastered his arm, the man struggled, but was unable to resist further.

...... What's the matter with you, you're ......?
I think that's my line: "I think that's my line. ...... To me, you almost killed me out of the blue.　I think I'm the one who should be complaining about it: ...... And then?　After all, what the hell did you get up to with all that stuff?　Depending on the story, my response will be different. ......
"d*mn it, d*mn it, ......, how did this happen? ...... is not the same story!　You'll never fail, it's an easy job. ......!
"Oooh?　Listen to me, hmm?　The story is different ......?　Work ......?

　Maybe someone asked him to do something or something like that.
　I had a bad feeling about ...... and the man's behavior changed dramatically at about the same time.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.　Gosh! ......!　What, what, stop, were ......!
"Huh?　Hey, hey ......?

　All Allen did to the man was to hold him to the ground with his arm so that he couldn't escape.
　But the man suddenly coughed up blood and his whole body raged in agony.

What, no, no way!　No, I don't want to die, oh no, I don't want to die, gosh, ......?
"Hmm ...... I don't know what's going on, but ......, well, let's get them calmed down for now, shall we?

　Murmuring to himself, Allen stepped away from the man and drew his sword.
　He squinted at the man's continued rampage below him - and

　--The Power of Omniscience, Code Akashic: Eye of Heaven.

　--World's End: Zanma no Tathagata.

　It was a sword that went straight through.
　The man's body, stitched to the ground, momentarily jumps as if convulsing, but soon goes limp and weak.

　Confirming this, Allen let out a breath and--

"I'm sorry, sir, but can I ask you a few questions?

　The voice came from behind.
　And without a doubt, the voice is directed to Allen and ...... somehow Allen stares at his arm.
　You're going to be able to get the best out of it.

　But to that Allen makes a counterargument in his mind.
　It seems that whether you leave quickly or not, you are destined to get into trouble.

　Thinking about that, Allen let out a deep, long sigh.
