"Ah, I found it, the guy who is busy with everyone."

The Garnier region of the imperial capital of Heimdall, a leisure area for the aristocracy and capitalists, with a variety of luxury shops and high-end entertainment outlets became the main theme of this area. In front of the bench resting next to the fountain in the center, Sarah looked disapprovingly at Ike, who seemed to be relaxing on the bench, and spoke.

"Isn't this a mysterious big sister~" Ike said hello and shifted his position.

"I'm talking about you." Sarah sighed, "The students are busy preventing terrorist attacks, but you, the instructor, are really okay here?" ”

"What's the wrong thing, Clea's order was given to the students of Class VIII., and conversely, why are you suddenly so eager to help the Ice Maiden? The incident of the Guerrilla Association is a lot of hands and feet done by iron and blood. ”

"That's right." Sarah scratched her head and sat down, "But you can't watch the terrorists in action." ”

"Oh~ It seems that you are becoming more and more like a guerrilla, and you deserve to be the youngest A-class."

"I'm asking you." Sarah was disdainful, "Coming to this place early in the morning and sitting in vain for nothing, this is not your style." ”

"What's my style? Even if it's me, I occasionally buy high-end things. "Ike is not happy.

"Who cares about you, your position is the most neglected corner of the opera house, you can see the people coming in and out of the opera house, but it is difficult for them to find you. Do you think there are terrorists in the opera house? ”

“。。。。。。 I suddenly realize that I seem to be underestimating you, Sarah. ”

"Nonsense." Sarah sneered, "I've been in contact with hunters, guerrillas, and the army, and your impression of me is still a few years ago." ”

"My fault, my fault." Ike waved his hand, was silent for a moment, and then replied, "There's a guy in there that I care about, but it's probably not a terrorist." ”

"The guy who can make you care ... Are they underground again? ”

"Hey, people are so upright on the bright side—"

The words stopped abruptly, Ike's eyes narrowed instantly, staring intently in the direction of the opera house, a guide car quickly and steadily stopped at the gate of the opera house, and a moment later, a woman stepped out of the car, walked into the opera house surrounded by bodyguards, and disappeared from Ike's sight.

"Who do you care about..." Sarah, who noticed the abnormality of Ike's expression, quickly turned her head to look at the opera house. Although it was only a quick glance, Sarah couldn't help but be a little surprised by the back that could be remembered at a glance.

"Although I just heard about it, I didn't expect it to be so open." Ike scratched his head and stood up from the bench with a wry smile on his face, "However, it does look like that woman's style." ”

"Do you want to go in?"

"How is it possible, I don't want to meet that guy at all, if I can, at least now," Ike stretched, and he was ready to get to work, and now they must be in the Crystal Garden, right? ”

"That's true in terms of time." Sarah glanced at her pocket watch. "As long as nothing happens, this internship will be over."

"But... It doesn't seem that simple. Ike's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the somewhat flustered flow of people coming from the northeast.

Almost at the same time, Sarah and Ike's guide sounded together, and after glancing at each other, the two quickly took over the guide, and after a moment of conversation, the two who hung up the communication sighed at the same time.

"Isn't it that easy to end? . . ."

"Even the monsters were called out, but neither Group A nor Group B notified us."

"Looks like I'm going to fix it myself." The two of them untied their weapons at the same time, "Anyway, I'll go and take charge of suppressing the monsters in the garden, and leave the church and other areas to the railway gendarmerie." When it comes to tracking, you're better at it. ”

"Don't embarrass me." Ike replied a little nerve-wracked, "I haven't been to the underground sewers here for years, and there's a cemetery or something." ”

"How about setting off as soon as you have this kung fu? The all-powerful Mr. Lancer. Sarah left the last sentence and ran to the bottom of the garden without looking back.

"One by one, they are all guys who don't listen to others." Ike stroked his chin, "So, the road to the underground graveyard... ”

Glancing around, he quickly came to a corner on the edge of the theater. Surrounded by greenery, a sewer manhole cover emerges in the meadow. Quietly pried open the locked underground waterway, took a deep breath and jumped into it.

"Should I say that it really deserves to be the imperial capital? Even after all this time, it's still surprising that this underground waterway. Ike looked in the direction of the waterway. Compared to other cities, the Imperial Capital is obviously much more careful in its maintenance, and the perennial torches and mottled but still solid buildings allow this underground waterway to function since the Dark Ages, and the maintenance staff is really indispensable.

Skillfully navigate the labyrinth-like underground waterways. As a hunter and a member of the Iron Fleet, the underground waterways of the Imperial Capital are perhaps the ones that Ike has visited the most. Especially the events of 'that year'.

"There's always something nasty." Ike ran and frowned, occasionally touching the walls of the old sewer with his hand. The huge magic reaction in front of him was like a lighthouse to guide Ike in the direction of his progress, but the strange and ominous magic reaction, and the magic power that was mutating more and more as the magic reaction got closer and closer, it was like...

"Otherworldly magic ... Is it? ”

As we got closer, the echo of the sound of the fight also came through the waterway.

"What is that!?"

The long bend finally ended, and a straight path from the pen to the bottom appeared in front of me. At the end of the line of sight, a huge skeleton monster occupies the central position, around the skeleton, group A students are scattered everywhere, although there is no substantial damage to the skeleton, but the clumsy action, obviously not able to simply contact the current group A.

"Is there a balance of power? . . ." After observing the battle situation, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes froze, and his eyes fell on the person dressed as a hunter at the end of the straight behind the skeleton monster, in addition to the man with glasses seen in the Nord Plateau, there were also two men who covered their faces and held Elysée and Princess Elphine respectively.

"No response ... Was it sleeping pills? Ike whispered to himself as he quietly put away his sword, his breath pressed to the extreme as he walked, and in the dim light of the fire, Ike's figure gradually became brighter and more uncertain.

"It's been a long time since I've used Joshua's skills, so I hope the technique doesn't become rusty."

As the last sound fell, the figure turned into a faint black shadow and disappeared into a straight path with no hiding place.

"So, the surprise attack begins—"
