Under the blue sky, a flash of light exploded in the center of the square.
　

''Yes.........''

　
　From the point of view of his client, he didn't need to die to achieve his goal.......to reduce the authority of the Sinfonia royal family and gain an advantage over them.

　You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of your own life. It was too big a blunder for the summoning country and leads to distrust in the royal family.
　That's why the royal family also escorts the heroic role of the heroes with their selected elites, and in fact, the past heroic role of the heroes did not get seriously injured and finished the pilgrimage safely.

　It didn't matter which one was injured, whether it was the second princess who was in charge of the escort or the heroic role of the festival's lead.......whichever one of them was injured, his trust in the Symphonia royal family would collapse and his employer would be able to suck the sweet juice.
　He had been staying in this city for two months now to do some preliminary research. He had prepared for every situation and prepared for a sniper.
　Even after the brave actor visited the city, he didn't act immediately, but waited for the opportunity...waiting for the right moment when there would be no guards in the sniper's line of fire.

　I'm not sure if that opportunity will ever come up and the mission will fail... but luckily for the man, they appeared in the square to meet with a friend of his who played the part of the brave man... and the visit of that friend made the guards Tatsu showed the slightest of gaps to let that person pass.
　The best timing you wanted, the magic bullets that certainly slipped through the guards' vigilance... it's no exaggeration to say that it was a combination of various miracles, and the man may have been lucky... therefore, 'the most important thing to commit I've made a 'mistake not to be'.

　Yes, he should not have shot at this time today he should have looked into the acquaintances he visited as well as the princess and the hero.
　If you had looked into it, you would have realized that an attack involving that acquaintance a pleasant person is 'an act tantamount to suicide'.

　Out of the gaze of the man who looked into the telescope to confirm the results with a smile, the explosive smoke that had enveloped the square cleared.

...

　What emerged from it was the second princess, the second princess, who was not injured at all... not even a speck of dust, playing the part of a brave man, and wearing a black robe with chains on it... the incarnation of despair for a man. It was.

It can't be... it can't be... a phantom...
One thing I'd like to explain to you...
'What?　Ah, ah.....

　Faster than he could mutter, the Phantom King's figure disappeared from his vision, and shortly afterwards a high-pitched voice came from beside him.

''I don't really care if the princess of the Symphonia Kingdom dies or the heroic role.......I don't care.
.......................

　With a high-pitched voice, Phantom King No Face was there.
　He was leaning out of the window of the clock tower next to him.......standing perpendicular to the wall of the clock tower as if gravity didn't matter....

''But if those two people get hurt Kite, they will be sad. 　
!

　It was so cold and intimidating that you would think that the head was cut off for killing alone.
　The man understood in an instant that he could not escape, that he was a sinner awaiting execution, and that the right to life and death was already out of his hands............

''It's just that, well, my Lord is very kind and sweet... I'm sure that if I kill you, I'll feel responsible for that...'' ...and you won't be killed.
...What?
I'll give you two options.
...choice...of...limbs?

　
　But after hearing No Face's muttered words of not killing, I wonder if I got a faint hope...............................my complexion improved just a little bit.

　However, such a fleeting hope would be shattered by his next words.


Huh?
If your professional pride prevents you from revealing your client, that's fine too ... the result will be the same. You will eventually tell them all by yourself.
Oh, ahhh................

　It's too cold and heartless a word.......and No Face knows the man's client, etc., as he should.
　 .........

Now, take your pick I'll give you a few seconds.







　It was not immediately clear what had happened.
　A sphere of magical power suddenly flew towards Princess Cattleya and seemed to 'explode before it hit' Mitsunaga-kun, who was protecting Princess Cattleya.
　Immediately after that, Alice appeared in her form as the Phantom King, and it was also confirmed that Princess Cattleya and Mitsunaga-kun were safe.

''......　Sage!　Dude, are you okay?　Are you hurt?　Does it hurt anywhere?　S-, I need a doctor right away... no, no, I need a healing mage...
'Hey, I'm fine, Kathi. I'm not hurt anywhere...
Oh, well that's good. What a thing to do!　I'm more powerful than you!　

　It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what's going on.
　Then, after confirming that Mitsunaga was safe, she exhaled with a relieved look and began to scold Mitsunaga with tremendous force.

　Hmm, how can I say, I think I understand now that Alice says that Princess Cattleya has a personality similar to that of Lilia-san.
　Something about the great panic I saw earlier is the same as when Lilia-san was worried about my condition.

'I'm sorry. But, you know, it's okay.
You're really a... oh, thank you.

　Princess Cattleya and Mitsunaga-kun, once again realizing how close the two of them are, and feeling a little smiling despite the situation, Alice appeared in front of us.

''Gee, Phantom King-sama!　Oh, um, earlier....
''Kite, we've secured the person who carried out the attack. And while we're at it, we've scoured the backgrounds as well~

　He ignored Princess Cattleya with a gun.

'Oh, thank you ... um, that attacker ...'
It's okay. I didn't kill him.
Oh, I see...

　I should say that it's Alice, the quintessential Alice, who has done a very quick job of capturing the attacker and seems to have washed out the backstory as well.
　And after reporting that to me, Alice finally turns to Princess Cattleya and announces in the high-pitched voice she had when she was in the form of the Phantom King.

''Second princess of the Symphonia Kingdom you don't mind if we take care of this matter here?
'Yes. Of course.
'So, Mr. Kite. I'm going to go deal with the fools.
'What?　Oh, yeah but....
I know. Don't ever kill me, right?

　Alice nods that she knows what I mean, but that's not quite right, so I'll correct her.

'No, it's not.'
...What?
Only 'as long as you can' ... if Ali - if No Face is going to be injured or in danger to you, you can kill him without hesitation.
Mr. Kite.

　Yes, insofar as possible. It's not that I'm concerned about the life or death of a stranger, the reason I usually ask them not to kill as much as possible is because I don't want to see Alice kill others too much, I'm not saying this for Alice's enemies.

'The safety of No Face is far more important than the life or death of a stranger... so just kill me if you have to...'
Oh, I see........well, I'm a bit embarrassed to hear you say that........
Well, uh uh... anyways, nice to meet you.
Yes. My Lord your will be done.

　When I told her that, Alice bowed with an ostentatious and theatrical movement and disappeared.
　Just as I was thinking that if I left it to Alice, I would feel safe for now.......I heard a voice from behind me.

''Well, it's not like it's the altered body that's going, the main body, Raburi~Alice is still the same, though!　It's okay!　My beloved Alice is right here, so it's OK to love her a lot!
I'm afraid I'm rather screwed.
...What?

　I feel like what was just a bit of a cool atmosphere has been ruined to the hilt.
　How can this guy not be cool to the end........

　Dear Mom, Dad - it seems that Alice has done a quick job of cleaning up the attackers and dealing with them as far as backgrounds are concerned. I'm really grateful for that, and Alice is dependable, but it's something like this - she was a stable Alice, in a way.
