"Ann, are you safe?"

"Haha...... On the contrary, yo~~ This trap is simple in structure and has limited lethality. At best, it also plays the role of some delay and early warning, like this, set multiple at a certain distance, and even judge the number of people and travel speed of the other party according to the interval of triggering. But well~~ If the trap is lifted all at the same time......"

"How, how?"

didn't wait for Ariza to continue to give an answer-

"Uh-huh!"

-- Plop.

"Uhh

-- Plop.

"Who!

"Wow!"

-- Plop.

"Behind, behind you! Fight back!"

"Where, where!? Woo ah...... "

-- Plop.

Extremely quickly, the guards fell to the ground one after another in a short scream.

"Just like this~~ I'm afraid that the other party will conclude that we are an 'extremely dangerous enemy' and take preemptive action~~?"

"W-!"

It's a pity that the long-overdue answer is irreversible.

By the time Cha Li was about to make a move, the cold touch of the metal had already stuck to the skin on the back of his neck.

You don't have to look back to see that it's a sharp blade.

Not to mention resistance, Charlie couldn't even move his fingertips, only the hairs on his body stood up in shock.

There is no doubt that the mysterious "Grim Reaper" is behind him at this moment.

"Tell your name and the organization you belong to. ”

Unexpectedly, the voice of the "Grim Reaper" was extraordinarily beautiful, it was a young girl, as clear and melodious as a bell, in short, it was the complete opposite of Charlie's mind.

However, the cute voice can't hide the dangerous aura from "her".

That thick murderous aura was just a little cold from the blade touching the skin, as if it had turned into a cold that could freeze the blood, and spread throughout the body in an instant.

"You...... Who the hell ......!?"

Unable to tell whether it was friend or foe, Charlie did not dare to answer easily.

What's more, the opponent is overwhelmingly powerful, and the slightest mistake in his judgment may cause the entire army to be wiped out.

Charlie tried to figure out at least the identity and purpose of the other party.

"Answer my question first, give you ten seconds, or break your arm. ”

It's a pity that the "Grim Reaper" behind him didn't give him any chance to be tempted, and Charlie only felt that one of his arms was twisted upward, and there was a sharp pain in the joint.

He instinctively tried to break free, but his wrist was firmly held in place by extraordinary force, and no matter how hard he tried, it was to no avail.

"I, I'm Charlie, Charlie Orlando, and the vice-captain of the Celia City Guard!"

In the end, Charlie had to answer the question of "Death" honestly, and as for whether the result was auspicious or vicious, he had to resign himself to fate.

"...... the city guards, and so are these people?"

"No, that's right, they're all my subordinates!"

“......”

Then, the unbearable silence continued, and Charlie silently waited for the verdict from the "Grim Reaper".

It wasn't until the sharp blade-like murderous aura behind him disappeared that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

――It seems that this time the bet was won.

If the bet is lost and the opponent beats the killer, Charlie can only hope that Alize will help.

In fact, until now, Alize has not stopped the "Grim Reaper", and Charlie finds it incredible.

However, his question was quickly answered.

"Ahaha~~Don't bully the uncle of the garrison~~ People are hurrying to save us~~"

Elize's tone when she spoke to the "Grim Reaper" was not only nervous, but even as if she was chatting with her family.

At the same time, she snapped her fingers, causing the candles that had been extinguished in the entire corridor to light again as if by magic.

"Sister Eliza......"

At this time, Charlie finally got to see the true face of the "Grim Reaper".

A delicate body, slender limbs, and two playful long braids dangling on both sides of the head.

The age is probably the same as that of Eliza, but from her delicate and beautiful facial features, there is no trace of a look that matches her age, like a finely carved doll.

But her appearance is not the point, the important thing is that the girl calls Alize "sister".

In fact, it is not difficult to find that the two have the same hair color and eye color, and their appearance is also very similar, but this also makes the different temperaments between them form a sharp contrast.

Contrary to the emotional, lively and cheerful Elize, this girl's expression, tone, and even her eyes could not read even the slightest emotional fluctuation.

If Arizza is compared to a refreshing and bright morning sun, then she is like a cold and quiet moonlight.

"Ai, Miss Eliza, who is this ......?"

Charlie didn't dare to let his guard down and asked cautiously.

"Ah~~ She's ......"

Sophia El Crusnier...... It's my name. ”

The girl took the lead and introduced herself in a flat tone.

The surname is also "Cruise Neer", and it is not surprising that the girl named Sophia is the other of the lord's daughter triplet sisters.

However, Charlie and the guards, who were lucky not to be knocked unconscious, looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

“...... I'm sorry just now, and thank you for the rescue. ”

As if to break the silence, Sophia added, though there was not a hint of gratitude or apology.

"No, don't dare to be! Miss Sophia, I heard that there are gangsters attacking the house at night, what is the situation now?"

"The situation...... Twenty minutes had passed since the attack, the total number of the enemy was estimated to be fifty, armed with cold weapons, and all seventeen guards of the lord's palace had been killed, twelve maids were killed, nine were seriously wounded, and minor injuries were not counted. The surviving personnel are now concentrated in the kitchen not far away. ”

Like a well-trained soldier, Sophia sorted out the battle situation in a mechanical tone, leaving Charlie and his guards stunned.

Ignoring everyone's surprised looks, Sophia once again dropped a bombshell.

"Just now, all the twenty-one enemies in Xidong have been eliminated by me. ”

Exclusion - No one in the Empire would use such an understatement to describe killing an enemy. But no one would suspect that Sophia was joking, after all, the corpses all over the ground were the best evidence.

But what really made everyone shudder was that Sophia's body was too neat. Whether it's a silky nightdress or fair skin, you can't find the slightest smudge.

It's not like it's like it's like after a tough battle.

"The condition of the injured is very dangerous, I just did some emergency treatment, please arrange treatment as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, okay!"

Charlie came back to his senses, hurriedly agreed, and immediately turned around and summoned the team doctor of the garrison.

"I'm here to help~~"

Aliezel volunteered in a hearty voice as she fiddled with the doll in her arms and raised the bunny's little hand.

At this moment, without warning, from the depths of the other end of the building, an earth-shattering roar was heard, causing the ground to shake.

It wasn't a movement that could be caused by a bandit smashing furniture.

"Boom, the position is estimated to be about 200 meters due east. Is it near the restaurant on the first floor......"

"Yes~~T*T equivalent to about two kilograms~~"

"Oh, do you even know the scale of the explosion?"

"Uh-huh~~Little sister, don't underestimate my sister~~From the distance, volume, amplitude, combined with the building structure and material~~ It can be judged by calculation~~"

In stark contrast to the panicked guards, the young sisters seemed unfazed.

However, the content of their conversation confused everyone present.

"Hmph...... All right. In short, I am relieved that Sister Alize is safe, although there are a lot of questions, but for now, ......" said, Sophia turned her head to look at Charlie, "The wounded will be handed over to you." ”

Then, Sophia turned indifferently and stepped in the direction where the roar came.

"Miss Sophia!, where are you going!?"

"Someone, Alice, to be exact...... Our eldest sister is still missing. ”

"It's too dangerous to go it alone! at least wait until the wounded are settled, and let us accompany you!"

"You say it's dangerous...... But with all due respect, uncle. Your soldiers are too poorly trained, and I am afraid that I will not have time to protect them in the event of an engagement, and I am not good at taking care of my companions in the first place. ”

Sophia's sculptural expression did not change in the slightest, and there was no contempt in her words, she just explained the facts plainly and mercilessly.

Although Charlie was unwilling, only a few tens of seconds of confrontation had already proved the disparity in strength.

"If you're still not at ease, your uncle can come along. However, please be sure to concentrate on protecting yourself, on the battlefield, the slightest negligence will kill you. ”

Under the gaze of those pale sapphire eyes, even Charlie, who claimed to be the best warrior in the city, could only be as immobile as a frog targeted by a poisonous snake.

Instinct as a warrior was doing everything in his power to sound the alarm and tell him how dangerous the girl in front of him was.

"Ahaha~~ Uncle Charlie, don't take it personally, my little sister is more shy~~ In short, Sophia will be handed over to you to take care of~~"

Alize, who was on the side, put on a posture like a good sister, enthusiastically easing the cold atmosphere between the two, but she herself had no intention of following.

Charlie, of course, knows that Sophia's indifference obviously has nothing to do with the little girl's cute performances such as "shyness".

- This girl is really a veritable "Grim Reaper......

Thinking of this, Charlie stopped talking, he didn't bring any of his subordinates, and followed Sophia's back alone, heading towards the east side of the corridor.
