Chapter 16: The Assassin of the East-Silver
The feast gradually faded from the enthusiasm of joy and became deserted.
No one is loud anymore, and the low and trivial chatter becomes the main theme of the night.
When Lloyd and Yuki Tatsumi returned to the first floor, Lixia had already returned, and was surrounded by everyone asking questions.
Randy, who noticed the two of them going downstairs, beckoned to the two of them.
"Hey! Hey! Come here! There's a case! Or an indecent case! β
"It's a threat, Big Brother Randy."
Theo coldly corrects Randy's mistakes, and while it sounds similar, the actual meaning is simply different.
Hearing that there was a case, the two immediately surrounded him.
Lixia, who suddenly became the focus, smiled with an embarrassed smile at a loss, and laughed ahaha, her eyes were obviously saying, "Don't just look at Ah Youjun to relieve me from the siege!" β
"So, what's the problem?"
Yuu Tatsumi, who read Reixia's heart, immediately pulled the topic to himself.
"Well, that's not a problem. Miss Illya was intimidated and someone asked the Rainbow Theatre to stop the performance......"
Lixia said weakly, You smiled, and said in her heart: It's better to stop! But...... It can't be effective, Illya isn't the type to listen to threats.
"It's quite strange that this time the threat letter is signed by 'silver'."
Naturally, Lixia threw the bombshell into Yu's Tatsumi's heart.
Generally speaking, such threatening letters will not be signed. Because no one is really stupid enough to write their name on it and use it as a clue to the other party, generally speaking, even if they write a signature, no one will believe it.
However, as a "killer descendant", Lixia is well aware of the weight of the name "Silver" to Yuu Tatsumi. This killer who opens and closes his mouth is "Lord Silver", and he must have great respect for Silver.
"Ah, what a boring prank."
You's attitude instantly became a little cold, and Russia turned back into a sunny and cheerful big brother. "I'll help you find out tomorrow."
"I'm sorry for you. The rehearsal is just around the corner, and Miss Illya doesn't want to be distracted by anything, but if it's you, it's fine. β
Lixia's gaze kept on Lloyd and Yuki Tatsumi. One is the younger brother of Illya's best friend, and the other is Illya's partner, with these two people, even if Miss Illya doesn't want to be distracted, she can only agree to their investigation.
Although 99% of this threat letter is bluffing, it is hard to guarantee that it will not be the 1% this time.
Moreover, it will be signed, which means that this is definitely not a simple matter.
With the Black Moon on hold of all activities, Lixia's work over there was instantly relaxed. The dual identities of the killer and the dancing queen finally changed at this moment, and the identity of the killer temporarily withdrew from Lixia Mao's life.
The identity of the dancing girl has become more precious.
Lixia didn't want anyone to ruin the rehearsal.
Although it is a little troublesome to everyone, please forgive me for my selfishness. Lixia apologized inwardly. The night passed slowly.
After the banquet, Cruz and his party said goodbye, although there were still vacant rooms in the support department, but the guerrillas lived in the police department building, which was not very good in every sense, so they all lived in a hotel, anyway, someone reimbursed them, they were not worried about the nature of the exploitation of money, and politely refused.
Michelle has a little more resentment towards Yuki Tatsumi.

Late at night.
The quiet night sky reveals the unique silence of the night, which is as quiet as water. It's calming.
The moon is big and bright. The fly in the ointment is that because it is not yet a day, the moon is a crescent, and if it is a full moon, it must be more meaningful.
In such a quiet night, it is the most suitable time for a lone man and woman to complain to each other.
Lixia pushed open the window and slid into her room like a bird.
"Are you here to ask about the commission?"
Lixia has a rare sense of humor, and under the clear moonlight, Lixia seems to be as elegant and noble as the spokesperson of the moon.
"No, no. That's too puzzling. Under this kind of elegant moonlight, don't you come to talk about the girl's intimate topics? β
You also followed her example and made jokes.
Lixia giggled, "A girl shouldn't tell a man what is on her mind." β
"Now, Lixia, aren't you going to leave Crossbell?"
"Yes."
After a moment's hesitation, Lixia replied in the affirmative.
"So, is it as a Moon Dancer, or as a killer, and you don't want to leave?"
"I ......"
I have my assignments.
Lixia subconsciously wanted to answer.
But there seemed to be a strange deterrent in You's eyes, so she didn't dare to answer so hastily.
This man is just like me. With him, can you say?
Lixia hesitated.
"I ...... I want to say ......."
"Needless to say. I've got it. β
You smiled, clasped his hands to his chest, in this clean space, like the prince of stars.
"From the moment you hesitated, I knew your answer."
If it weren't for the special love for the job of the dancing girl, I wouldn't have hesitated. Yu Tatsumi came to a conclusion with ease.
In fact, this is not what Lixia wants to say at all...... She finally mustered up the courage to confess herself to You, and then, like a junior, honestly asked for his advice, but was interrupted by him, and Lixia's courage was hula and she didn't know where to run.
"Lixia. I have a suggestion. β
"Huh?"
"Do you want to try to give up your identity as a killer and live as a dancing girl?"
"Hey!"
Lixia was shocked, thinking that Yu-Tatsumi had suddenly acquired a wonderful ability such as mind-reading.
"You're not fit to be a killer. As a killer, your heart is not ruthless enough, and the first time I found out about my identity, you should have found a way to kill me, instead of stupidly going out with me and chatting in the place I chose. And, as a killer, you now have something you can't give up without. If I had commissioned you to kill Illya Platier, would you do it? β
"No ......"
Lixia burst out, trying to deny him. After that, I realized that I shouldn't answer so quickly, and I had to choose well.
On the one hand, it is a woman who is tough and pulls herself in the dark to the world of light. On the one hand, the way of survival from childhood. Lixia carefully weighed their weights and swam to the side, waiting quietly.
"No, you can't. I can't. β
As a result, it still doesn't work.
Lixia couldn't do it.
"That's it. You're not fit to be a killer. Exit it. If there is an enemy, I will help you solve it, and if there is a guy who is not long-eyed, I will also help you clean up. β
You showed a dazzling prom mask made of silver and bright stones, and put it on his face.
Most of the face is covered, and there is a strange charm.
"Why, do you want to help me like this?"
"Crossbell is going to be chaotic and dangerous. The place, which was originally called the Demon Capital because of the complicated situation, is about to become a hell for the Demons to gather. I don't want innocent people to get involved. Especially you. β
Yu's words made Lixia's heart move, and not only did she blush a little, but fortunately there was not enough light in the room now, and Yu couldn't see her blush. However, Lixia quickly reacted and asked tentatively, "That, especially what I mean...... Because I'm similar to you? β
"No, because of love!"
You showed a mysterious joke that could be called a witch, and even an innocent child like Lixia would not misunderstand the ridicule in his words.
"I don't think a man who always puts love, love, and love on his lips is unreliable."
"Coincidentally, that's what I thought."
Lobbying, turning over and squatting by the window.
"I don't pray that you will draw conclusions right away, but please hurry. Cross Bell's situation is getting more and more dangerous. Or stay away as a killer for a while. Or continue to stay here as a normal person. I'll take my leave first, and I'm really grateful for the news of Silver. β
Coming and going on her own, Lixia slightly understood the reason why this person would use "wind" as a code name.
Because it's wind, it's casual and invisible.
Because it's wind, it changes itself with the environment.
Because it's the wind, no one can grasp his truth.
"What a self-talking senior......"
Lixia smiled bitterly, closed the window, sat back on the edge of the bed, and fell straight down on the bed without taking off her clothes.
Who is the person who is talking to me today? Yuγ»Tatsumi? Or is it the soul of someone else who lives in Yu-Tatsumi's body? Or is it just a dream for me to become weak?
But...... You've said so, how can I get out of it with peace of mind and watch you fight alone...... "senior".
And...... This time, it's finally not "I have no reason to help you, and there is no reason not to help you".
