Yuki Tatsumi was climbing on a vertical rock wall at this time.

It is about 20 sub-distance from the ground and about 80 sub-distance from the top.

He didn't use any aids, and his severed left leg remained free to sag, and he climbed 20 sub-distances on his other three limbs.

Noelle was looking at him on his back.

His left hand reached out, his fingertips digging deep into the rock wall. It's like five tiny climbing chisels.

Then, the right hand reaches up to the left hand, pokes the fingertips into the rock wall again, raises the body with both arms, and then pokes the right foot into the rock wall as a temporary fulcrum.

Then repeat the activity countless times.

"Doesn't it hurt?" Noelle couldn't ask that.

The answer was, "It hurts." But shouting pain won't solve the problem, will it? Something like that.

Moreover, is it really possible for humans to poke rock walls with their hands and artificially create climbing points? How tenacious does it take to do it......

"How strong is it......"

Oh no, I didn't pay attention to what I said! Noelle suddenly felt the urge to cover his mouth, but finally restrained it.

"Well, I'm used to it. And, it's not as hard as you think. ”

Yu's voice exudes a sense of reassuring relief.

"As for me, I mainly use my fingertips to condense the fighting energy at my fingertips, and if I reduce the contact surface, it will increase the power. Ever played with water guns? It's the same as the smaller the muzzle of the water gun, the farther the water jet is. I have a limited amount of fighting energy, so it will be much easier to use this method. Moreover, because of the vindictive spirit and the protection of my one-piece combat suit, the physical injuries were minor. ”

You explained as she climbed. As if to increase his persuasiveness, in just a few words, the end point has been reduced from 80 sub-distances to 75 sub-distances.

Actually, it's being strong. Noelle said. Presumably for the sake of men's face? Or do you want me to worry? This guy just said that the physical injury was slight, but he didn't mention how much it hurt.

And...... Habit...... Is it ...... How much pain have you endured to do such a painful thing with a calm face?

Noelle sighed softly and pressed her forehead against his hair. His hair was covered in dust because of the fall, and even so, Noelle didn't choose to dodge. After all, it is the kindness of others who come to save themselves, and it would be too bad to dislike the dust.

Noelle was in turmoil at this point. In her head, two voices intertwined, fighting, leaving her at a loss. Everything takes on different forms depending on the way we look at it. Flames, for example, can be something that warms the body and bakes food, but it can also cause calamity and destroy peace. These two concepts are not in conflict.

And the justice that Noelle firmly believes in is also like this, which will take on different forms because of different things. That's why Noelle is so bothered.

Whether it is to reconcile with You temporarily, keep them safe, or whether You should be arrested or even buried, it is all righteous.

The two of them kept climbing in this silence. Only the wreckage of the chain box that Noelle was carrying would make a chaotic crashing sound as it suddenly climbed.

"I said, why are you a killer?"

After a long hesitation, Noelle decided to ask. This question has been pressing on Noelle's heart, like a fish in his throat, not vomiting and unhappy.

"Ah...... That's a tough question to answer. ”

You's voice revealed a little nostalgic feelings.

"Presumably, because the person who taught me 'freedom' at the time was an Assassin. If you want to hear it, just listen to it as a story? ”

"Hmm."

"Actually, there's not much to say. It's just that a person who has never known how to live outside of slaves is suddenly told that he must live as a slave, and then chooses the people around him naturally. ”

“……”

The sentences are long and the content is quite difficult to understand.

Perhaps he was aware of this, and You immediately continued to explain: "I've always been a slave. Born in the Kingdom of Saialu. If you are a slave since you were a child, you won't feel so sad. Until one day, the slave regiment I was in was liberated. All at once I went from a slave to a freeman. This is what the goddess who saved me said to me: 'Go and do what you want, and if you feel that you are my slave, then I command you that you are free.' Then, entrust someone else to take me to a peaceful country. ”

"That man...... Is it a killer? ”

"Assassins, to be precise."

You stubbornly corrected her diction.

"Does it make a difference?"

"It's like the difference between a pistol and a machine gun. Killers are lawless at will, and as long as someone pays for it, no matter who it is, they will kill it. And I don't have to worry about affecting others. The archetype of a killer is me. If I were to assassinate the mayor, I might choose to poison Crossbell's drinking water, and no matter how many innocent people are implicated, the killer will always make it his first priority to get the job done. ”

"Aren't you afraid that I will strangle you if you say such things......"

Noelle tightened her arms in anger, and You's voice became a little hoarse because of it.

It's no wonder she is angry, how can anyone use crime as an example in front of an officer with a full sense of justice?

"Haha, even if I am out of breath, I am confident that I will take you up."

"Humph......"

Noelle vented a little, and knew that now was not the time to make trouble. Unlike some women's willful tempers regardless of time or occasion, Noelle clearly knows to put business first.

He went on to say that an assassin was not the same as a killer. Assassins kill people often for a certain purpose. For example, a hundred years ago in the Republic of Calvard, when it first began to accept Oriental immigrants, there were a large number of politicians who opposed Oriental immigration, so one of the Assassins stood up at that time. Of course, he would also accept commissions and receive remuneration, but a closer look reveals that the targets of his assassinations were all politicians who opposed immigrants from the East. Moreover, without exception, there were assassinations, and there were no cases in which innocent people died. ”

"Essentially, it's intentional homicide."

"Haha, that's true. It's me who struggles. ”

In You's hearty laughter, the two climbed another 10 or so distances.

"That man, I have a lot of respect for him."

"That person? Are you talking about the assassin who took you away from Saiaru? ”

"Yes. On the way, we only had one conversation. I asked him what freedom was. He told us that any concept can change shape depending on the person. We haven't had a conversation since. ”

"What does that mean?"

"Probably a thousand people have a thousand opinions on the same thing."

"What a philosophical assassin."

"Well, who's to say it's not. The reason why I chose the chain as a weapon is also because I longed for that person. I hope to get to that person's height. Freedom, do whatever you want. ”

"Assassins in chains."

"Assassins with great swords, to be precise. It's just that chains are also being used. It's just that my bones are very weak, and a weapon like a big sword is not suitable for me. ”

"Yes."

With Noelle's dim tone as a signal, the two fell silent again.

At this time, the position of the two is about 50 sub-distances, which is already halfway high.

"Do you want to stop and take a break?"

Noelle asked suddenly.

Noelle's thighs and the fitting part of Yu's tights have been thoroughly wet. The forearm also clearly sensed that the contraction of the shoulder muscles was becoming more and more laborious.

Sure enough, no matter who it is, it's impossible to make such a chaotic climbing plan.

"No, if I rest now, I won't be able to climb again."

You seriously refused. He knew very well that this kind of thing must not be taken a break halfway. After resting, whether it's lactic acid, fatigue, or fear, these things will force the body to give up.

"But...... All right. ”

Originally, he wanted to say something, but Noelle gave up.

Anyway, your life was saved by you, if you can't hold on, I'll fall with you.

Noelle thought firmly.

Suddenly, what she feared happened.

You's left hand suddenly grabbed into the air, and the rock that was originally used for support was actually crushed by him!

The downward trend soon stopped.

Supporting the two of them is Yu's right hand. I saw that his entire right palm was submerged into the rock wall, supporting the two of them from falling.

A moment later, the sound of stones falling to the ground could be heard below.

"Are you alright?"

"Well, it's fine. It's just that the rock is loose. ”

Yu's voice was a little bitter.

As he said before, this kind of chaotic climbing behavior is based on a bang, if you don't have enough supplies, you are injured, and you may be attacked by monsters, you still choose to rest, and you can no longer have the idea of climbing again.

“…… That ......"

"I won't throw you down."
