Early the next morning, Liszt met his next opponent, the 98th-ranked glove holder with the code name of Quiet Noise - Frey!

It's just a formality......

It's a very painful egg.

For when he saw her, he did not meet her in the normal face-to-face manner, but as if she had been brought up, wrapped in a net like a net, the upper end of which hung from the ceiling of the corridor, and on the ground were tools such as saws, nails, and hammers, so that people could understand at a glance what was going on with this sudden net.

"Well, what are you doing here? Lovely Frey-san? Liszt stood at the door, looking at Frey hanging in the air, and the giant dog that was also hanging inside, which should be her puppet, and asked a little speechlessly.

"Assassination." Frey replied.

"Assassination? Assassinate whom? Liszt asked in surprise.

"You."

"Do we have a grudge?" Liszt asked more and more strangely.

Frey shook her head.

"Then why did you assassinate me."

"Because I'm your opponent in the next round. And I've seen your performance in yesterday's battle, and I'm not sure that I can defeat you with your strong firepower, but I have a reason why I can't lose, so I have to use this despicable method to eliminate you. Frey explained.

"Then why did you tell me your motive again?" Liszt wondered.

"Because you asked."

Liszt was speechless.

I really don't know whether to say that the Frey-classmate in front of me is innocent, or whether to say that she is not in her right mind.

"Well, can you please put me down?" Seeing Liszt's silence, Frey opened her mouth to plead.

"Wait." Liszt walked to the vicinity of the trap, checked how it was composed, and finally lowered Frey from the ceiling according to how the trap worked, and then picked up the sharp weapon placed next to it, and began to untie the net wrapped around Frey and her automaton.

Then there was a silent look at each other, and after a long while, Frey seemed to remember something again, and said to Liszt: "Well, thank you for saving me, and I made a bento for you in gratitude." ”

As he spoke, he really didn't know where to take out a lunch box made of plants, and opened it, revealing the neatly stacked sandwiches inside......

"This, can't it be that it was also made to assassinate me?" Liszt picked up one of the sandwiches and looked at Frey in front of him twitching his cheeks and said strangely.

"Yes." Frey admitted.

"Do you think I'll eat it, then?"

"I'm good at cooking." Frey responded.

"It has nothing to do with whether you're good at cooking or not."

Frey didn't speak, but she put on a gesture that if you don't eat, I'll cry, which made Liszt more and more speechless.

"Okay, let's talk about what you put in there." Liszt changed the subject.

"I was going to put sleep pills, but I couldn't get them, so I put a lot of ......salt in them," Frey explained.

"Okay. So why did you go to the night party? Liszt put the sandwich back in his basket, sat down on the side, looked at Frey in front of him, and asked.

"For the sake of the family." Frey replied.

"For the sake of the family, this is a big proposition, but for the sake of the family, there must also be specific goals, right? For example, if you want to become a demon king and get a special magic spell that can save your family, or do you want to change some conditions of your family, you need to use the privileges granted by the demon king qualification? Otherwise, you just want to prove something, so you have to participate in the night party and get enough victories to even get the final demon king qualification, which one are you? Liszt, who had long forgotten the plot and had not remembered Frey's specific situation, reasoned with his own thoughts.

"Can't tell." Frey said.

"I didn't ask you specifically, as far as the three categories I said before, which one are you?" Liszt asked again.

"I guess it's the third one." Frey thought for a moment.

"Is there no other way? Can only be proven by a night meeting? Liszt asked.

"That's what my father said."

"......," Liszt said silently, after a while, "then I can only say I'm sorry." Since I also have things that I have to obtain the Demon King qualification to achieve, so you should put away this useless idea and try to figure out how to defeat me. ”

Frey also fell silent, stood up, and left Liszt's dormitory with her automaton with a somewhat depressed expression.

……

"What does the teacher know about my opponent in the next game, Frey?" Liszt, who had come to Kimberly's office again to start tutoring after school, asked Kimberly.

"What? Want to get a piece of information from me? Kimberly asked with a smile.

"I'm just curious about what is the reason why such a cute girl would choose to assassinate her opponent and win the night party." Liszt shook his head slightly and described.

"Assassinate an opponent? Did she attack you? Kimberly was surprised.

"Not really......" Liszt then told Kimberly in detail what he had seen in the dormitory this morning.

"Then I kind of know what's going on." Kimberly groaned and told her about Frey.

Frey's father is not her biological father, but her adopter, whose name is Bronson, is a student of the Royal Karakuri Academy a few years ago, and almost obtained the Demon King qualification, so although he did not graduate as a Demon King, he could not get many benefits and benefits that belonged to the Demon King, but he was also in the spotlight and received an invitation from the royal family.

However, Bronson himself was quite proud, so he quit his job shortly thereafter, and left to start a studio called D-works, where he conducted research on special Karakumi.

And it did come up with a canine-shaped automaton called sound pressure operation!

The canine-shaped doll that Liszt had seen with Frey before was one of them.

But later, for some reason, the dolls of the Hellhound series were not purchased by the royal family and the military, so the Hellhound series became a so-called failure, and according to the disposal rules of the general organization, it should be scrapped and disposed of......

So by analogy, the reason why Frey insisted on participating in the night party and said that she wanted to prove something was to prove to the world that the Automaton of the Cerberus series was not a failure, and that it still had the value of survival.

As for the more, Ms. Kimberly is not very clear.

"It sounds like that, but unfortunately, I also have a reason why I have to get the Demon King qualification, so I can only say sorry to her." Liszt was silent for a moment, then shook his head with some regret.

"After yesterday's battle, your puppet's hole cards have been completely exposed, although the firepower is still extremely powerful, so that many puppets are afraid of it, but I have to admit that your combat methods are too simple, if you don't change, you can't hold out for too long in the battle of dusk."
