"......Ca,Ca!!!!"

　The two figures collapsed to the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Everyone froze when they saw them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was so sudden that no one could react.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After that, the people who reacted the most to the situation were the villagers who were helping to cook the meal in the village square.

　Especially women, many of whom had been ordered to cook the meal, screamed when they saw the two fallen men.

"What's going on? What in the world is this ......?"

"It's an assassin, Chief. There are assassins in our village.

"Sh... assassins?　In this village ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As soon as I heard the screams, the village chief, who was a short distance away, came running up to me and spoke.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He seemed surprised, not knowing what had happened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps it is because he is the head of a village in a small nation in a war-torn region.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He seemed to have enough time to ask me what had happened, even though there was a corpse with its head blown off in front of him.

　Perhaps this village chief had once run through the battlefield.

Are you hurt, Mr. Alphonse?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kiku. I'm okay. I'm okay. I think we got an assassin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... assassins?　May I have a word, Mr. Alphonse?　I need to check something."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm?　What is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, why did you shoot these two guys, Mr. Ai?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Shortly after the mayor approached me, Kiku came to my side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Kiku seems to have a good head on her shoulders.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He had already ordered the mercenaries in his squad to be on the lookout.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even before I gave the order, he was able to react appropriately at a moment's notice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thanks to you, we are well prepared for the outside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Kiku still seemed puzzled.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason is simple.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He did not understand the meaning of this situation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Zen and Walter were lying dead in front of him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it was the Eye behind me that had done it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Eye had left the chief's house with me and come to this square.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ai had protected me all through the night.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And that protection continues to this day.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With her favorite magic gun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ai, equipped with her magic gun, shot the two men who spoke to me without saying a word.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A magic bullet made of hardened brick was released from the magic gun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were both hit between the eyes at the same time by Ai's unparalleled precision in aiming.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The attack power of the magic gun is quite strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The effect may be small if you are the head of the family, but if you are as strong as a knight, it is difficult to prevent it from hitting you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic gun, which has mercilessly taken the lives of knights and soldiers on many battlefields, has mercilessly reaped the lives of both of them.

"I've been telling you this for a while now. They're assassins, Kiku. These two are the assassins, aren't they?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh?　Mr. Zen and Walter?　Did these two betray you, by any chance?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I'm not. No, they didn't betray me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... What do you mean?　You didn't betray them, but they were assassins, and Dr. Ai attacked them?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. Zen and Walter are not traitors, but these two are assassins."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... eh. Could it be a fake?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Looks like it. I didn't even notice until the Eye attacked. But now I think I do. Their blood doesn't smell like Zen's or Walter's. It's someone else."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The two men that the Eye took out with the magic gun were definitely assassins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Fake or different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The smell of blood from their bodies was different from their own.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can say this with certainty because I'm the one who signed the contract with Norn.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are not Zen or Walter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But Kiku still has a look of disbelief on her face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, I understand how you feel.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, I'm the same way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wouldn't have known if I couldn't smell blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"How did the Eye know these guys were assassins?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's magic. They wear bracelets. However, the magical power that can be felt from the bracelets is unregistered, and is different from the magical power of Zen-sama and Walter-sama. Therefore, we have determined that they are different people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I see. I thought you could tell by their magic power. I mean, what they're wearing and the equipment they're wearing look like the two of them. Isn't that right, Kiku?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's true. Maybe he took it from them. I'll go check."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh. Yeah. Use the tracking bird too, just in case. Even without the bracelet, we can track the scent of his clothes to see where he is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Unlike me, who could tell by the smell of blood, Ai could tell by his magic that he was a different person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As always, I think it's amazing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The difference in magical power between individuals may or may not exist, but they can all recognize it and identify each other.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But this time, it might have saved my life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Because the two fakes who appeared in front of me looked so real to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Zen and Walter, young mercenaries but strong enough to do their job as squad leaders.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had already fought with them on the battlefield many times and thought I knew them well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But when these two spoke to me, they looked so much like me that I didn't realize they were fakes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Still, now I know that they are not the real ones.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And then, a person who looked exactly like me, but whose magic and blood smelled different, approached me and came close enough to hand me a bowl of food.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not a coincidence that such a special situation could have happened by chance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I decided that it was an assassin who would do such a thing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There he is. He is still sleeping in the cabin."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And apparently they are safe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The real ones, whom Kiku had tried to find with the tracking bird, were apparently still sleeping in the rented hut.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Did they give them sleeping pills or something?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Whatever it was, it was good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was a good chance that we might have run out of steam somewhere else.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Kiku informed me that they and the mercenaries who were staying there were not dead, I decided to examine the assassins lying on the ground again.
