The crowds, the loud noises, this kind of "spectacular" sight can only be encountered in Lotty's memory during almost "grand" celebrations, but in this world, no matter how you look at it, this kind of thing happens several times a day.

Therefore, people who have long been accustomed to crowding and noisy will naturally not care about the situation of a half-human-tall child, no matter how rampage he is, how reckless, the "tolerant" people give him only curious glances, and then ......

Everybody has to hurry, stopping for a little child who looks a little overwhelmed, that's something that only a sympathetic virgin or a policeman does. At least...... Not to the point where it would stop them from being curious.

However, in a sense, it can be regarded as saving Letty's life, and if anyone really stops to ask, her shallow "cognition" may soon reveal her "strangeness". The sword that needed the most care was wrapped in circles of cloth and stuffed into the backpack, like a broom with a half-cut handle, in a sense...... This sword has been treated with extraordinary humiliation, even though its owner is not much better.

After the "disguise", she was "retouched" again for insurance, and her face was deliberately smeared a lot, and she looked more like a hairy boy who had just broken into a big city. I was overwhelmed by the unease of this "newer" and "bigger" world, and the "outside" looked more like the boundless sea than the fairytale map that could almost be memorized. As for the words of haste and recklessness...... It's only because this hairy boy lost his companion.

...... All right. In fact, it should be the other way around. Pouring out of the train. The excessive flow of people was obviously unexpected by Letty. It was just a turn, only slightly taller than Irina, and she couldn't find her way back even if she stood on tiptoe. The sight is full of colorful clothes and various hairstyles, and Irina's existence has long been submerged in the sea of people. Perhaps, as long as she got off the train, she would have met it, but when Letty waited outside the train for a long time, knowing that the train was slowly speeding up again, she was horrified to find out......

She...... Really lost.

Irina and the tireless self with "common sense" relied on each other's help to get here all the way to this place without danger, but if ...... If you are separated because of this degree of negligence. Not only is Irina's state on the train very worrying, but she ...... I don't know what to do after that, and the money is all in Irina's, in other words, if I don't find her, I'll have to sleep on the street tonight.

"Yi ......"

Letty, who was just about to shout, held her words in her throat, even if she didn't know how to make sense, she knew what kind of attention would be attracted by randomly calling out a person's name in such a crowded place where any situation could happen, and a pair of "magicians" who came with a purpose could not make such a cheap joke.

So...... You can only find it with your eyes and ears. Looking for familiar figures in the staggered flow of people, suspicious movements. It's impossible for the smart Irina not to understand everyone's current situation, she must be looking for herself now. It's just that......

It's too slow, and if they all stay on the platform, I believe that they can easily find each other as long as the crowd subsides, but now they are still at a loss. The only thing that was strange was the crowd that seemed to begin to surround the staircase, but after a few moments it gradually dissipated as if it had never existed.

Wait a minute...... That skinny back!

"Irina!"

In her excitement, Letty even forgot the admonition to call each other "pseudonyms", and hurriedly waved her hand and ran towards the place where "Irina" slowly left. The voice floated through the sea of people, and there was no reason why Irina couldn't hear this level of shouting, but Irina with her back to Letty still walked away slowly, even if she didn't get close, so that Letty could notice her strangeness.

This...... I noticed it as early as when the train was moving. It's hard to imagine the emotion that would happen to a calm and "dangerous" Irina, but she kept her body tight for the rest of the day, as if she was scared of something. No, it's wrong, I'm afraid it will drag on much earlier, when she carried herself out of the fairy tale.

What are you afraid of? It must not be this mission, but ......

"Irina!"

Shouting, Letty chased after her. Irina, who was still walking slowly, suddenly stopped, and then began to flee more and more quickly. It would be fine if it was just that, but no matter how you look at it, she seems to be following a man, following in his footsteps. Who is that guy? acquaintance? but...... Does Irina really have such an acquaintance? and her attitude towards that guy is more like an acquaintance than an acquaintance...... A bit of a more ambiguous flavor.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

Pushing, crowding, the displeased gazes of the people around her no longer mattered, and all that remained in Letty's eyes was now Irina who hurried away with a certain man. Is this a delusion, or is it ...... Irina is as arrogant and cold as a wolf, why is she like a ...... behind that guy Dog-like obedience, it's like ...... Master and slave alike.

"Irina!"

Letty kept shouting, probably because the sound that had been echoing finally made Irina feel that she couldn't ignore it anymore, and she finally turned her head with her back to Letty. But......

It was not a happy gaze, of course, and it was even the exact opposite.

“......”

The silent threat stabbed at Letty unabashedly, as if it was a warning from the "wolf" alerted to the foreign enemy in order to drive away irrelevant people, etc., which was not at all what Irina would do to her companions. But...... That's probably what she is.

The sharp gaze quickly disappeared, but before Letty could figure out what the hastily crossed, almost sad emotion was, Irina turned around and disappeared into the end of the crowd with the man's head.

Don't chase after it, it's none of your business. This was Irina's warning to herself. Don't chase after it, look for associations alone, it's a cry that every part of your body makes. It's just a back, and Irina, who is usually cold, but occasionally gets involved in everyone's conversations, has changed her appearance, naturally...... If you really touch her, you will find more, more dangers.

Maybe...... It's going to die, but ......

"How could you just go like this? ”

However, even if you are regarded as a fool, even if you are reprimanded by Irina later, at least leaving in disgrace when your companion is in danger, it is the most "shameful" behavior for your companion.

"Irina......

Muttering softly, Letty took out the sword from her backpack and held it to her chest, and quickly chased after it again in the direction Irina had left. (To be continued.) )
