What am I doing?" "What am I doing, ......?

　A young man falls to his knees.
　A young man falls to his knees, surrounded by countless dead bodies.

　It started to rain, little by little.









　I wonder if D'oroza really didn't notice.
　Futa quickly shook off any doubts that came into his head. It was too late for that now.

　A narrow path through the alleyway.

...... It's raining.
"That's true. Don't catch a cold, okay?
That goes for Corona, too. She's got a history of getting sick.
Mmm-hmm.

　The maid couldn't even hear her own voice when she said that.
　With Corona's back to him, who was now moaning periodically, Futa proceeded.

　It was an expression of his confidence that he could protect her if he stood in front of her, and that he was not so insensitive to signs that he could get behind her.

　In fact, his confidence was backed up by his ability, and he was not attacked.

　Futa's expression turned grim as he reached the open space.

...... this.

　I'm not sure what to make of it.
　The wreckage lying around is a cruelly mutilated corpse. I thought the wound looked familiar, but I could tell that it was different, just similar.

The weapon was a steel thread. ...... Ariadne?

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

　But it can't be him.

　If it was, it'd be more like...

"Who are you?

　Futa looked up in response to the voice shouting.
　Not that he hadn't been alerted. Futa was aware that there was a living person standing there.
　He was aware of it, but he had left it alone.
　The dazed man was looking up at the sky in a daze, drenched by the rain. He seemed to have just noticed that Futa and Korona had arrived.

　Futa looked at him, hiding Korona behind his back.

I'd say he's not suspicious, but... I'd like to say I'm not the suspicious one, but if anything, you're the suspicious one.
...... This is the worst, isn't it?

　He looked at Fouta with a tearful face, put his hand on his forehead and moaned.
　He is taller than Fouta and Richter, but over 180. Through his rain-soaked clothes, you can see a glimpse of his well-trained and slender upper body.

　At the very least, Futa judged that as a warrior, he would be a tricky opponent.

　His opponent must have been the same.
　He let out a big sigh and shook his head.

I've come this far, and I'm ...... really...

　He muttered in a small, grieving voice.

I'm sure you'll be able to do it. I beg you. That's right.

　He didn't look tired.
　It's not like he's been fighting too hard. So it's mental exhaustion.
　Or was he trying to catch me off guard?

　He bowed deeply, and a glimmer of light reflected in his hand.
　--It was Ariadne. It's a dangerous weapon that can kill you if it catches you off guard.

　He let out a small breath.
　He's not so far gone that he'd ignore a request to let him go and punch him in the face.

　But the fact that he was protecting Corona behind him. The fact that he's visibly killing people around him.

　And most of all.

"His name is Libra Robinson. He's a tall man with pure white hair and bright red eyes.

　From Futa's point of view.
　His white, rain-soaked hair, his pathetic red eyes, and his height.

　All of them correspond to the characteristics of the dangerous person Mion was talking about.

Can I ask you a question, ......1?
"If I can answer it.
Really?

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

　He looks at the unresisting gray hair and says.

"...... Are you Libra Robinson?
"..................

　He twitched. Indeed, the young man's body seemed to react.
　Huta braced herself.

　The rain was coming down harder now, hitting the ground and crying out.

　In the midst of the avalanche of rain, I heard a faint voice.

"What if it is?



　Futa let out a small breath at the answer.

　Should he be happy that the dangerous person he was looking for had been found so quickly? Or should he be saddened by the apparent tragedy that had occurred and wonder if the dangerous man was still dangerous.

　Either way, Futa had only one answer.

I'm sorry, but I can't let that happen.
"......, I see.

　He muttered, as if he had given up.
　Was he really that unhappy about being discovered?
　You can find a lot of things that you can do to make your life easier.
　The young man in front of you is in a state of mind that Futa cannot know.

"I don't know why, sir. You said if I'm Libra Robinson, I can't be overlooked. ...... That means, at the very least, that there are forces in King's Landing that see me as a danger and want to take me down.
......
............ No, don't worry about it. After all, I am.

　The young man, Libra, looked up.
　The red eyes of the young man looked at Huta, and his fingers moved lightly to unfold the thread of magic.

I'm not sure if you've heard of this, but I'm sure you've heard of it.
"...... So, yeah. Come on.
I'll take your word for it.

　At the moment, Huta's senses screamed and rang an alarm bell.
　He knew that if he didn't jump out of the way immediately, he would be in danger.
　But instead of retreating, Futa drew his sword.
　Libra rolled her eyes, a little surprised.

"Don't you dodge?
"It's not a problem.

　--He was bluffing.
　This is not the first time Futa has fought Ariadne, and he has already activated the mimicry of her eyes.
　The man in front of him, Libra Robinson, had already shown his training, and he didn't need to mention that he was incredibly skilled.

　I'm convinced that Mion should be wary of the man in front of him, his ability - if only as a warrior - is comparable to that of the [Eight Flashes Under Heaven].

　The only difference is whether it's a fighting technique or a killing technique. That's all there is to it.

I'll be back.

　I'm not sure what to make of that.
　The magic thread is entangled in Futa's sword, and he pulls hard to snatch it.
　You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.

　It's simple. There was more than one thread, and it was a foregone conclusion that Ariadne would strike at the hand holding the handle.

　If I had avoided it from the beginning, none of this would have happened.
　But I did so only because of the girl who was looking at me anxiously under the roof of the alley behind me.

Why did you put yourself at a disadvantage?
Because I have something to protect.

　That's when Libra seems to have figured it out.
　The one he was protecting behind him.

　At the same time, Corona lowers her eyebrows.
　I don't understand all of the high-speed combat, but I can see that he's being overtly protective.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

It's not as bad as it sounds.
It's not as bad as it sounds. ......?

　It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your vacation.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web. In a surprise attack, he is sure to mow down the enemy with a single blow. If you know how to work with such care, you can do it. Just once.
...... Apparently, my methods have leaked, or is it my eyes?
......
I don't mind. You're right, it's just a one-shot deal. Let's start over.
I could say the same thing to you. I've only dared to jump to a disadvantage once.
".................. positioning?

　It's not only to get the sword back that Libra was blown away.
　It's not just the fact that you'll be able to't get a hold of them.
　Now, Futa won't bother to jump into her pocket, and she won't fall into the trap of the magic thread (Ariadne).
　Apparently, he knows how to fight.

　A cold sweat gently trickles down Libra's cheek.

　At last, you could say. Or at this point.
　It was at that moment, when Libra was still trying to come to terms with the prospect of the end of her life.

"Wait.

　A voice.
　It was a voice that could not be drowned out by the sound of the rain.
　Futa turned around, and Libra looked over at him.

　There was Corona, stepping out of the rain, no matter how wet she was.



Wait, Master Futa. And you, too. I don't like .......
Corona.
Ma'am. I'm not sure I like him. I killed him, and now I'm gonna kill you.
...... You're lying. You don't want to fight, do you?
"............

　Her eyebrows lowered and her usual sunflower smile faded.
　She says, sadly.

"The ...... maid is... The maids, thanks to Futa-sama, have come to enjoy the fight. But I still hate this kind of thing. ...... We kill each other when we don't even want to fight. That's what ...... the maids always hated. ......

　I'm sure it's something from the past that Futa doesn't know about.
　I'm not sure what to make of it. No matter how dense their days are, they can't know everything about their past.

　But when Futa fought Prim for the first time, she was sure of what she was saying. She said it was the first time she had ever enjoyed a fight.

"Hey, why did you do this?
You think if I tell you, you'll let me go?

　This.
　So she shows me the overlapping wreckage.

I don't get it. If he's really a bad guy, there's nothing the maid can do about it. I'm sure you're not the only one. ...... But if you were a bad guy, you wouldn't really bow down and ask me to let you go.
...... I don't know about that. I think you're being a little too nice.

　Libra pondered, looking for a chance to escape.
　The fact is, if you go through with it, you'll definitely get yourself killed.
　It was a matter of pride for her to talk about her shame. But still, somehow, he couldn't turn away from these innocent eyes.

...... Hmm. I'm sure you'll agree.

　I'm not sure what to say.

I am. I don't know if you can believe this, but I'm no longer in the assassination business. And I've come to King's Landing for a little purpose. I came to King's Landing for a few reasons. ...... Well, I'm still pretty good at what I do. I'm sure your brother knew who I was.
...... Ah.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

It's not just you who knew. It is true that the job is a grudge against you because you stopped it. If I'm taken in like this, I'll be nothing but a murderer again.
......
And if the world finds out that I'm an actual killer, it won't make sense for me to close down my business, so I'm the kind of scum who tries to keep my mouth shut.

　I'm the kind of scum who would try to keep my mouth shut.
　It's a fate you can't escape after all.

　You can't blame him for exposing his weakness in the way he said it.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

...... Oh, that's very kind of you.

　Did you think that was sympathy?
　Libra looked at the two of them with some surprise.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　He knew that it would probably be quicker to kill her here, but he still hesitated a bit.

　Instead, it was Korona who spoke up.

"...... That's a lie, isn't it?
What's a lie? You've got a lot of nerve calling me a liar for letting someone tell me what's going on.
...... So what are they?
".......

　Those kids.
　I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but I have.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea. Orphans, perhaps. They were clad in dirty rags, holding knives and looking at us.

　A huge sigh echoed in the rain.

...... I told you to run, those kids.
So, what's the deal?
What are you in a good mood for, maid? It's no big deal. I hear King's Landing is very unsafe. They're trying to sell that little punk.

　As if to say, this time, I give up.
　Libra shakes her head lazily.

So who are these guys?


Buyers and their escorts. It's legal in this town, isn't it?　I just didn't like the idea of me hunting down ...... kids and calling it "hunting."
So I couldn't get through to him.
Yeah, I just went for it. As soon as he knew I didn't want to mess with him, he got very aggressive.
...... Why didn't you tell me?
Why?

　When Futa asked, Libra tilted her head.

You just said it. It's legal in King's Landing. I don't think they'll forgive you for ranting and raving about it. ...... And...

　He shrugged his shoulders and said.

It's lame. You can't shelve your misbehavior and murder and then talk about justice.
"...... You're a clumsy man, you know that?
Yeah, well, I'm the most adept guy in the organization.
That's not the point.

　It's just...

...... Corona, let's go home.

　Futa had no desire to harm him anymore.

　Neither did the way he lived. Futa had no fond memories of buying people. --And the fact that he knows it's the same for Corona.

You'll be able to overlook this at ......, is that okay?
I'm not genuinely from this city either, and I hate ...... people-buying. So, at the very least, you can finish what you came for and leave the city.
"...... Oh, no.
Hmm?

　"Hmm?" Libra scratched her cheek in annoyance.

My purpose is going to be a bit lengthy. I don't think I can live up to your expectations.
You're the one who said you'd let me off the hook. Do you know where you stand?　I'm telling you, there are a lot of people out there who want to get to you and who think you're dangerous.

　I don't know how Mion got wind of this, but he did.
　I don't know how Mion heard about it, but if it's known to the buyers, then it must have spread.

　Even if Futa can't do anything about it, it is not unlikely that he will be targeted in the future.
　And yet...

"Then what is the purpose?

　Corona asks.
　She's a strange girl, says Libra, a little surprised.

"I got a letter from my mother. She said her father had died. She said she couldn't work in the fields anymore. ...... Well, I thought I'd go home and take over the farm. So I decided to close down the business. Killing was a job I didn't want to do in the first place. So ...... finally.

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

I'd like to do something I've always wanted to do, for once. ...... You may not be welcome at .......

　I'm sure he meant it.
　I'm sure he meant it. The red eyes are sorrowful and longing.


I'd like to be a ...... fighting swordsman. I've been wanting to be a fighter since I was a kid. ......


　I'm not sure what to do.

　You will find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time.
　You will find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to go about it.
　Before Futa could say anything else, she turned to Libra and said, "No way.

I'd like to tell you something, if you don't mind.
