Two as One Princesses

It was kind of noisy the next morning when I got out of town.

Ignoring that, when Ciel headed to the North Gate, the gatekeeper stopped him.

Some strong demon came out and several hunters came back with major injuries.

They're going to need permission from the Hunter Union to get outside because of that.

"I think I'm gonna get into a lot of trouble."

'Right. Shall we pull into the woods now?

'It's rare for a suggestion like that to come from Ayn. I wonder what's wrong?

"When you're like this, you find out why you're a singing princess."

"Wasn't it troublesome that the King's Capital was rose to be a singing princess?

I laugh when I dull. Ciel is right, but now that I know I've already made just a request to become a B, I don't have the motivation to actively take the request.

But I still remember... In the first place, now we're trying to get into the mountains because Syel wants to see the ocean.

So I have no trouble going to the guild and getting permission. Although you can make a forcible breakthrough, getting information in the guild is not a bad thing in itself, because something seems to be at stake. You said Ciel wanted to go, and you can't deny it.

"In the meantime, let's go to the guild"

"Hehe, yeah"

Looking at Ciel laughing softly, it's not something I've figured out which one is the adult.

12 years with Ciel, though I've already noticed. Just because I lived a little over 20 years in my previous life doesn't mean I could have said I was in my 30s.

◇

As for the guild, it was a big commotion.

Anyway, the injured person was being brought in. I could only see a little, but I would probably have lost one arm.

We were being transported to the infirmary or somewhere else, so there may have been other major injuries.

Inside, the hunters are asking what happened to the reception.

Summarizing a story that sounded leaky, they came out with a wolf-shaped demon with golden hair.

Apparently, the C-level party encountered, one D-level hunter was accidentally killed, and the rest of the members fled with their lives while the C-level hunter was holding back.

Also in the aftermath, an E-class hunter who was in a shallow spot was seriously injured.

Although there is no other information, the survival of the remaining C grades will be hopeless.

The guild chief, who came while he was doing so, came close after he opened his eyes when he found Ciel.

"Well done."

"Gate clearance required"

"I need to ask you something in that matter. Will you come to the office?

'Can I go?

'I only have a bad feeling about it, but it doesn't look like I have a choice to go to sea'

"Okay."

"Then follow me"

Led by the guild chief, he is taken to the office. It's called the Alliance Master's Room.

If you think about it, it might be the first time you've come in. I went into the staff space of each guild, but I never went into the master room.

Although I'm not impressed because it usually looks like the elementary school principal's office.

I was told to sit properly, so I sit on a couch that was nearby.

"You know the story about a shitty demon out in the North Forest?

"Once."

"So I'd like to make a nomination request to Miss Siermeer."

"An investigation into an example demon?

And if possible, it's a crusade.

At the time of the alleged request for nomination, there can be no refusal without so much.

It's just that I can't handle it this time as "so much".

I don't really need rank to be investigated for unknown demons.

I mean, I don't see you first other than a nomination request. Because I don't know the strength of the demon.

Besides leaving it to bad hunters to make proper reports.

Sometimes it's better to get information that you don't have in a solid lower hunter than to leave it to an advanced hunter in a swine rush.

But this time there is the fact that the class C party is losing.

So, in case you think about it, you should let them head over to level B or leave it to someone with an escape leg above level B. But Ciel's escape is not like that. The only advantage would be that it's solo, so it's light.

I mean, it's a request that could be out of rank.

It's a grey zone, so if this one points it out, it has to break over there.

But if you don't take it, you have to do a little pushing to get to the North Forest.

I can't even get information. Ciel also has a good grasp of the area.

"Grey zone, lend one. No Disadvantages in Failure"

"That doesn't matter"

"Information received"

What the guild chief taught me was what made the story I heard in the lobby more detailed.

You think he's about the height of a man, and his nails lightly knock down a tree?

Whatever you think, it's a class B or higher project, but even if it sucks, it doesn't have any disadvantages, so it's good.

I got a permit to go through the North Gate and I've got some errands to run, so I'll leave the office behind.

That's when the guild chief said "please" with a sinking face, but Ciel closed the door without looking at you.

◇

North Forest just a short walk out of the gate.

There are still stumps in front of us, but when we go in the back, there remains untouched nature.

In the mountains lying in the back, they say there are demons of class B and above. So if I wanted to go to the sea now, I think it would be right to detour all the way around.

I wonder, why did we go through these woods?

Yeah, to save time. In order to get to class B soon, the ocean was going to see it, but we were trying to reduce the travel time as much as we could.

Plus, I don't care about the B demon level, and I'm stepping on the A level to figure it out.

So I didn't have to go out of my way to detour. He wasn't able to get out of that thought.

When I told Ciel about it, she said, "It wouldn't hurt to make a loan to the guild."

It is easy to do when I have a loan when I do almost get pushed to take care of things in the future.

I don't have a good impression of the hunter union, but I guess I don't owe it because I get magic bags, etc.

Above all, if Ciel is convinced, okay?

Ciel stepped into the woods for a few minutes.

This is the first time in itself to enter this forest, so the speed of travel is slow.

First, I was headed where the party seemed to have been attacked, but I was attacked by a weird feeling that kind of muzzled the back of my body - my soul.

'Ciel, can you stop?

"What's wrong?

'I'm kind of soaked... can I borrow your body for a second?

"Yeah, sure."

Borrow your body from Ciel and check your situation again.

That's a hunch.

This Soissois is caused by example demons.

It sounds like you should say you're resonating, not being targeted for killing.

Behind the woods. There is definitely that (...).

You've noticed this one over there, too, and I feel like you're getting closer.

"Keep going straight to the back."

Return your body to Ciel and tell him so.

"You're there, aren't you?

"O (...) Sora (...) Ku (...)"

"If you can confirm it with detection, will you tell me again?

'Okay. I'm going to expand the range, so you're going to focus.'

Extend detection to the maximum range that can be extended while maintaining the junction.

Normally I don't go this far, but I don't have a chronic heart because it feels kind of odd.

Though you think that even an A-level opponent can protect Ciel, there may be in case.

Tens of minutes for Ciel to proceed with vigilance. Detection caught Toru lying (...).

There's not that much information I can tell from detective magic. I don't know the color, and I can't hear the sound. I can close my eyes and say I'm close to exploring things with my hands alone.

Still good at handling magic, I know about the amount of magic I'm circulating.

If your opponent is a demon, you can hold it with that amount of magic to determine its crude strength.

The four-legged (...) is carrying a lot of subordinates. About 100 of them seem to be there.

The magic I feel is the greatest I've ever felt from demons.

Since the maximum so far is Class B cyclops, it would be more than Class B certain. Though I feel that it seems to have arrived at grade A as well, this has no criteria for judgment.

And the cause of my Soissois is on my nails.

Sounds like magic and not magic. What (...) is out of it.

What (...) could be called superior compatibility, like making magic more intense (...).

It will be thanks to these nails that I was able to knock down the tree as easily as possible.

It's only a prediction because I don't know the nature of this what (...), but it would also be possible to have a big rock in two, and there doesn't seem to be a single person.

Just plundered must hurt you badly.

And these nails are awkward. Much awkward. There is no way out of the imaginary realm, but it could slightly cross my boundaries.

I feel such awesomeness.

'I found it. He's going to be carrying over 100 of his men.'

'I don't care what my men do. What about fate?

'It's only a prediction, but grade A is going to cross. I feel like magic, especially from my nails, but that feels pretty dangerous. It may come beyond my boundaries'

'That's a surprise. I'm surprised. "

"Do you want to run away?

"Can we get away with this?

Fortunately, there is a distance. Even if Ciel's escape foot says it's no more than Wolf's, of course he can escape if he's not noticed. If they had noticed at this distance, it would be suspicious to be able to escape.

If you're coming after me, you can't run away first. And maybe it's noticed over there.

"It's going to be a bet."

'Then let's wait. Maybe something that can be lightly defeated.

If you'll come from over there, I'll be ready as much as I can.

So is the demon coming this way?

'It's slow now, but I'm coming straight here'

"Well, I'll be ready."

As we interacted like that, the demons were getting closer and closer.
