Date: 12 May 1998 in the Alwald calendar.

"You're here."

"I'm coming."

Location: In front of the Oroboros' iron fence gate.

"You shouldn't have come."

"But I'm already here."

Characters: two.

The eyes of both sides reflect each other's presence.

One person's eyes are hidden under the bangs like a dense forest, and it is impossible to see really.

The other is like a rotting dead fish's eye, unmoved.

Three seconds later, the two of them pulled out their guns at the same time, pointed them at each other, and then ......

"Bang!"

“¿”

·

Ouroboros, a corner of the guild hall.

"Hiss~ I said, you kid is playing really?"

Xia Ye gritted his teeth and covered his head, "Fortunately, it's me, if I change someone else, the result may not be." ”

"It's because it's you that I feel free to shoot." There is a lot of trust in the words of the other person.

"Can you not use a look of pity when you say this?" Summer Night's eyes immediately turned cold.

"Cut!"

"Okay, you and I knew who each other were when we were in Friedham, so I'll get straight to the point this time."

The incomparably cold eyes and the lifeless dead fish eyes looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly returned to the time when the two first met in front of the gate.

It's like a traditional duel between the fast gunners of the West.

"Summer night."

“… Siegmond. ”

The slower side will naturally lose.

Summer night with a victor's smile.

"Woohoo!"

As if he couldn't stand the humiliation, he got up and left, then ordered two expensive drinks at the water bar, and then placed one of them heavily in front of Summer Night.

This is the rule of the game between them.

The main reason for losing this time was because of Zigmund Mund, who did not expect to meet the name bearer of this name in Ouroboros.

"By the way, why did you give me a shot as soon as we met?"

A friend, now known as Ziegmond, gave Summer Night a look for himself to experience.

"Oh! I understand. ”

Summer Night probably knew the reason, but Ziggy realized that he had been cheated by himself when he was in Friedham, and then he accumulated some resentment and anger in his heart, so he sent a bullet as soon as they met.

As for what it is...... There are too many possibilities, he is not stupid enough to blow himself up, otherwise this month's living expenses will definitely be over.

"By the way, where do you live now?"

Ziggy looked vigilant: "Why are you asking this?" ”

"What can you do? Find a house! ”

Xia Ye sighed helplessly, Lin Xi originally agreed to help him with the matter of renting a house, but for some reason, Lin Xi began to deliberately hide from Xia Ye on the return journey from Rus to the Kingdom of Libra, so he had to make another plan.

"I arrived in Garan on the third and was assigned a commission the next day. I just came back from Ross two days ago, how can I have time to find a house? ”

Ziggy nodded: "Okay, I'll help you pay attention when you go back, the reward is calculated according to the old rules." ”

Summer Night casually perfunctory: "Hmm...... Well?! ”

Noticing his friend's strangeness, Ziggy followed the summer night's line of sight and saw a lone figure.

"Oh, she!"

Summer Night turned her head: "Do you know?" ”

"Hyacinth."

Ziggy took a sip: "I joined the summoner of the Ouroboros on the same day, and her recommender is none other than the Ouroboros President himself. ”

"That's it?"

"That's it."

In the process of chatting with Zige, seeing that the man made a move, Xia Ye directly drank the liquid in the cup in one gulp: "I left a little in advance, and the matter of the house will be entrusted to you." ”

Ziegy picked up his glass, and the clear liquid reflected the noisy crowd and a lonely figure and the summer night chasing after him.

"Nosy."

The whisper dissipated into the noisy air before it reached the ears of others.

·

After leaving Ouroboros, Summer Night followed the man's figure to a remote alley.

"Come out!"

Hearing this, he simply appeared directly in front of the other party, because Xia Ye had no hidden breath from the beginning, and it was natural that the other party would find out.

The short orange hair was combed in a side ponytail, and the red-orange eyes were staring at the stranger in front of him, and her beautiful face was full of vigilance.

This is a female summoner who is about the same age as Summer Night.

"Say, why are you following me?"

Summer Night stared at those wary eyes: "Well, I just want to confirm one thing." ”

"So is it done now?" The calm voice did not hear any joy or anger.

Summer Night nodded, he had already determined the source of the unique aura of the person in front of him.

- "The Brand of Oath"

Like a black brand mixed with crimson, it is a curse that has descended from the primordial sea.

An ominous aura warns every being that this man has once desecrated a sacred oath and betrayed his contractor.

Generally speaking, the person who has been branded with the "oath brand" has no chance to summon the way, and the only option is to pray to the forbidden and sacrifice his body and soul, which is the so-called fallen summoner.

However, the person in front of him was not a Fallen Summoner, otherwise it would be impossible for President Jupitt to invite the other party to join the Ouroboros.

For herself, she has encountered similar things several times since she was branded as "branded with an oath", and there is even the experience of active attacks by summoners who attach great importance to the bond of contract.

She had been acting as a lone wolf for the past two years, and it would have been impossible for President Jupitt to join Ouroboros if she hadn't personally "invited" her.

Seeing Xia Ye nodding, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Suddenly! A sigh rang out from behind, and everything in front of him became blurred.

She made a judgment in an instant: there was no problem with her consciousness, what was changed was the surrounding environment.

"It's ......!"

Red Orange's pupils constricted, and although the scene was blurry, the memory was already seared into the depths of her soul.

"This is what my "eyes" see from you......"

The orange girl held a cold corpse, her hands stained with the crimson of sin, and the darkness of betrayal wrapped around her.

The girl cried out loud, but no sound sounded, only the face, the expression on that face, was filled with great despair, pain, sorrow, remorse, and self-blame......

This is the only picture that can be considered clear.

The blurry scene is like an abstract smiling face mocking her powerlessness and cowardice.

"...... "past view"? But as the owner of "clairvoyance", haven't you heard a sentence? ”

She turned, the expression on her face distorted and terrifying, like a beast that had been touched with a fatal wound.

As a red gem shone, crimson flames ignited from her body and turned into a great axe that slashed towards the summer night.

"That's 'don't look at what you shouldn't', you ......"

"Damn perverted voyeurs!"

The eyes hidden under the bangs showed a hint of surprise, and then the summer night stood still and did not resist.

Let the flaming axe drown his figure!
