Yotogi no Kuni no Gekkouhime

The feast, which welcomed the apostles from the exotic countries, closed with a soothing mood all the time. The time is already three o'clock ugly. The wind swells, and in the darkness dominated by silence, there are two shadows that swell. One looks like a woman and one like a man.

"As planned, everyone seems to have taken the flip pill."

"Yeah, as you can see."

One shadow - the machinist's wife laughed delightfully as she opened the back door of the mansion and welcomed the blackmasked assassin. The woman who said she was ill and was able to pull it off quickly did not actually go home. He lurked behind the mansion and waited for this man to arrive.

Kagetra's mansion usually keeps an eye on him even late at night, but the soldiers he patrols all the time, snoring and leaning against the pillars of the gate, slept. I chose the inconspicuous back gate just in case, but in this situation, I would have been able to walk through the main gate with dignity.

"Should we just hunt Hinoe later and retreat? That went too well. That's kind of a clap."

"That's the moon, the clouds, the flowers, the wind."

The woman sarcastically utters the phrase "something bad happens between good things", which is also their code. The lizards seemed to float until earlier, but they wouldn't imagine tomorrow morning that their precious hinoe was getting cold.

"Well, let's get to work."

Leaving the woman on the spot, the black mask sneaks into the main hall to avoid making footsteps. Having already had many undercover jobs, this man has the skill to walk without making a sound like a cat, even in old wooden corridors that make squeaky noises. I hear the Hinoe bedroom I'm aiming for from my wife, so I don't want to get lost and go down the hall.

The mansion was quiet and the guards on the property seemed to be completely asleep, not just in front of the gate. There are many people sleeping upside down in the garden, even in moonshine.

"What a curse. What a terrible thing."

The black mask squeaks so much only in the mouth. Selected warriors, too, can hang on to this body if they hang on to a spell. The old raccoon of the client - Hinoe's father can't help but be afraid. If I had a daughter who could use such abilities, I wouldn't care when I would fall asleep.

Really without any interference, the black mask arrived lightly in front of Hinoe's room. After that, you just have to sneak in as before and tighten your fine neck. You can pierce your heart through a single poke, but strangulation is more convenient in order not to make a sound.

"Who is it?

"Huh!?

When I gently put my hand on the handicap door, I can call the opposite from inside the room. The man takes a small knife that he sneaks in his chest and takes a combat stance. But Hinoe was the only one inside. She sat upright on the futon and made no rush or noise.

"Were you awake, little girl? If you're asleep, you can easily die."

The spirit loosened by the medicine of inversion also doubles the effect of alcohol. No matter how much Hinoe cries out, the soldiers will never wake up. But just in case. The black mask pokes the tip of the knife in front of Hinoe's eyes. If you make a scene, I'll kill you, to convey that will. It doesn't make any difference if you don't make a scene.

"You're here to take my life."

"You know exactly where you stand. I feel comfortable killing women and children, but it's probably work. Screaming won't help. If you don't want to suffer for a long time, make it big."

"I'm not going to beg for my life. My life was forever picked up by Master Kagetra. I was happy to have lived so far."

Hinoe doesn't break his fortitude when he says he has a knife in front of him. Had it not been for the spell, it would have been a fine lady. But I'm not going to miss the black mask.

"I am a cursed person. Let us gladly give you this life so as not to be a nuisance to Master Kagetra. I just want to ask you one thing."

"You idiot. You're going to die, and you're going to hear things, and you're going to tell me what's going to happen."

"Exactly. In less than a few minutes, I will be torso. I'm already ready for that. But......"

"But what?

"If you have any feelings for people, could you tell me the name of the person who tried to kill me? I don't like being cursed raw and killed by people who don't know who I am. Because that's all I have left to be a souvenir of the underworld…"

Masked men patrol. It's not like he likes it and wields a vicious blade on Hinoe. Kill me because you asked me to. That's all. Hinoe is right, this poor girl will be an untold corpse in a few minutes. So he followed me.

"... it's your father. He doesn't want you to live with the spell."

"Is that still the case…… No, I was largely anticipating it"

Hinoe sighs sadly, but does not particularly disturb.

"Though that's cursed, you're Jie, son of a martial artist. Okay, that's it for the chatter. I'll kill you as little as I can."

"I hear you mean... Ladies and gentlemen"

The moment a man tries to put his hand on Hinoe's neck, Hinoe says an inexplicable dialogue.

At that moment, the furrows in the back of the room open. The man flies reflexively back and tries to leave the room, but he also felt signs from behind. Turning around, the people who had been flipping and bursting asleep until earlier were in a combat position with knives and spears at some point. The black mask blinks.

"Ko, what is this!?

"Assassin. Thank you for your kind heart. I did let you take my word for it."

Surrounded by soldiers headed by a bear bee, in the back room, it was the lizards who murmured so much. In the gap where the man jumped back, Hinoe was held by a bear bee and immediately in the arms of a lizard tiger. Now I can't give you any more hands.

"You're an idiot! Sounds like you wanted to put us in a trap, but you hooked us up real good!

"Akuto, Loosa!

Standing behind you alongside the lizards are Marie, who laughs well, and Serene, who burns in anger.

"Hey, why!? I must have definitely taken the flip pill!?

"Miss Serene here can see through it. In the evening, he dumped the liquor and switched it to water. Thanks to you, I had to drink water even though it looked delicious. Now, shall I take the blame for crushing the pleasant feast"

Kagetra says that pale in his mouth, but his eyes aren't laughing at all. If you can kill someone with your gaze, ten people are so intimidating a caged eye that you can kill them.

"Little one there! Why! Why did you notice?

"Rat, I told you."

"Shit! There was information leaking!

The black mask strikes my tongue. I don't know who it is, but the rat is still on this side. But where the hell did you come from when you said you were so vigilant when you were planning an operation with no one around you? No matter how much you think, there's no answer, and the black mask is confusing.

Of course, I never dreamed a rat would be listening in that exact sense.

"You said to Hinoe, 'Screaming won't help you'? I'll give that dialogue back to you just like that. That traitor's girl, look, as you can see."

When the lizard crouched the tip of the garden with its jaw, the woman had already been captured by a lizard soldier.

"Shit!"

The masked man made a quick decision. Demonstrating tremendous physical ability, he jumps into the soldiers with spears and swords with all his strength, sheltering his face with both arms. The black mask isn't intact, but it's far more than we can capture. Though wounded, he sews through a slight gap in the soldiers and forcefully breaks through.

Soldiers react quickly, waving their weapons each, but the speed of the black mask is more than that. He leans back on the ground and runs away from the soldiers like a beast using his limbs.

A woman caught earlier screamed something, but he cut it off lightly. The plan failed, then it is now a prerequisite to ensure your safety. If it was a speed battle, the masked man was absolutely confident. The soldiers behind us are coming after us, but no one can keep up with the speed of the black mask.

(Shit! Shit! Anyway, I have to pull it off once!

In terms of night vision and handsome feet, the black mask was absolutely confident. When they were besieged, they were in quite a hurry, but it was only survival that they were able to get out of the emptiness. Anyway, as long as we shake off the chase...

"Ha!?

That's what I was thinking, an awesome shock running on the masked man's back. I don't happen to be about to fall apart, but I don't force myself to kill the momentum, and I turn forward and get back in shape.

"Did you think you could escape the awkward?"

"... you are the prodigal son of this house!

A man grinds his teeth. What caught up with me later than myself was Kagetra's brother, the inexplicable second son who was walking around the continent - a bear bee. No way is it the extreme of humiliation to be lined up with proud feet by a man like this.

"My prodigal son is not called to the inferior species. And I'm not even going to listen to you. But it's just right for the Awkward Knife."

When the bear pulls out the new knife purchased during the day, it wields a slash from the upper section without question.

(Quick! But!

The black mask surprised me with a sharper sword line than I thought. But the hard noise just sounded, and some of the masked man's black outfit just cut off.

"Fumu, were you wearing a clavicle?"

"Exactly. Besides, this is a delicacy enhanced by a spell. You know what? There is a way to multiply the intensity of an object by refining the spell!

"……… you know…"

Bears sigh unexpectedly. What this man is good at talking about is too common sense on the continent for even children to know. The black mask is rather surprising. I dared to divulge the information because of the threat that your attack would not pass, but the man in front of me would not move at all.

But not if you're wondering right now. Running away is more a prerequisite now than defeating this man.

"If you spare your life, you shouldn't move too much."

"That's what they say. Where's the immobile fool! Remember that!

He doesn't want to chase the bear. I delivered the knife as it was. I don't know what that means, but anyway, the black mask returns the heel and measures the escape again...

"Uhhhhhhhhh!?

The moment the black mask cages strength in his legs and kicks the earth, blood erupts from his chest. Reinforced by a curse, the clamsticks and dots were torn apart as if they were tofu. The black mask, which bore the deep hand, falls down on the forehead as it is. Still desperately trying to escape, the bear stomps on his back with his feet.

"Rest assured. The steeple must be avoided. Stop the bleeding and you won't die. I mean, killing people on my brother's property kills awkward people."

"Then, stupid......! Why is there a curse enhancement clasp……!

"Oh, speaking of which, I forgot to say, Awkward man, you've cut the scale of a dragon once on the continent. No, this is rude to the dragon. The Lord's pride is not below the sealed door of the Archira."

"Door, do you think……………?

The black masked consciousness gradually fades as it is applied to humiliation. But at the same time the dark joy sprouts in my heart.

You idiot, I did fail. But the assassination squad is still there. We don't know what will happen to us, but not all the troops that kill Hinoe have been crushed. One day, our people will fall asleep again. I laughed, and the man completely lost his mind.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"I heard it was an assassination unit, but it's something I don't love."

In Hinoe's house, Butler fell to the ground and jumped on top of his folded, black-covered companions, making one stretch (yawn). The assassins of their fellow blackmasked men were swept away by a battle squad of rats led by Butler, who had never been on the stage.

No matter how accustomed the assassination squad is to the night's actions, there's no way they've ever dealt with more than a thousand rats that they've accidentally hit. Funny easy, the assassination squad was beaten down by the rat squad.

"But the princess also thinks of skillful tactics."

In the evening, Butler was reflecting on the mission conveyed by Serene. Butler, who heard from the rats about Hinoe's assassination plot, was going to smash them all before the raid began.

It was the Awakening Serene that stopped it. Indeed, it would be easy for Butler to crush the assassination squad before it happens.

But if we get rid of the mastermind, there is a risk that another organization or unit will be targeted again, even if we crush all the troops this time.

So what Serene came up with was a way to use Hinoe for spraying bait. Place soldiers in the back of Hinoe's room that you can always put into the rescue, and make the rest act like they're drunk on booze and sleeping in the garden.

In order to consult on this appropriation, Serene communicated the information to Kagetra, the main person, and jointly worked out the operation. Then he explained the operation to Marie and Hinoe, who had returned from the city. This operation had to be carried out throughout the mansion.

In other words, I dare you to pretend to have fallen into the trap set by the other side and let Hinoe himself pull the information out of the assassin and take the vows. Everyone on the spot is a witness. Later it is a dispersed method of warfare in which the thieves are captured and used as evidence in an elite unit led by the Bear Beech and Butler sweeps the remaining forces at the same time. No one will believe you testified that you were beaten by a rat, and you can handle it as an inner circle of the assassination squad.

"Well, we have to keep these people in captivity."

Butler ordered the rats to bite and tie the monkeys to the assassins. Now his mission is complete. By now, the assassins of Cagetra's mansion would have been knocked out as well. Even if they get away from the soldiers, there's no way they can get away with a bear-bee opponent fighting a dragon.

'So I'm going home, too? I can spend two days and all night in a boulder. Thank you all for your cooperation. "

Butler worked with thousands of rats who cooperated happily. Praised by Butler, the great king of mice, the mice cried out and expressed their gratitude.

"Now, to the brave men who have devoted themselves to the great Princess Serene, we must offer them their due reward."

Butler put his forefoot against his jaw and, after a little fumble, distorted his mouth.

"Do as you please with everything in this mansion. Whether it's food or treasure, you should take whatever you want. Nothing to worry about. It did harm to the great Princess Serene and her dear friend. Why don't we just take it as a compensation?"

That's what I left behind, and Butler himself left with nothing. Because I wanted to quickly report the good news to the Lord and see a happy face. A glimpse of the maddening rats, Butler jumped out of the stash like a bullet.

Thus, the Hinoe assassination plot was brilliantly prevented by Serene knowledge.

The next morning, Hinoe's father, who had been left without a grain of rice by the rats and left unsolved overnight, was going to frenzy, but he didn't know that, and he was relieved that he could take off his eyeballs tonight, and slept well.
