(It is said that I will be rewarded for bursting my liver tonight?huh?first of all?advance?)

Compared to the already deserted city, the suburbs of the city are even more deserted, except for the rows of mansions used for the nobles' vacation, only the lights have been turned off, and the peasants' huts are left.

No matter how you think about this kind of place, there will be no people, right?

"Go back, it looks like I'm wrong. ”

Claire, who was already very cold, wrapped her trench coat around her body again, "I'll investigate tomorrow, or I'll freeze to death." ”

"Wait, something isn't right. ”

Watson first lay on the ground and listened for a while, then stretched out his hand to the front.

"[In this wood, an incident related to the Assassins is taking place!]

"This ......"

Because of Watson's accurate judgment, Claire, as a companion, also obtained information from the forest at the same time, and the woods in front of him seemed to suddenly become transparent, allowing Claire to see clearly what was happening inside.

But what the hell is this, such a strange thing!?

In the woods, it was true that the Assassin was exactly the same as the one he had seen before, a cloak, and a magic cylinder, but now there were two. And it seems that the two sides are still engaged in a fierce fight.

“...... Strange, what's going on?" Claire was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it a personal vendetta?

To say that this is the infighting in the Blue Rose magic team, Claire is the first to jump out and not believe it.

Because most of the Blue Rose's magic team now has only one purpose, and that is revenge. It is impossible for a unit that has been a partner from the beginning to have a strong goal and is gathered together to produce something like this.

"I'll go see ......"

"Wait, I can see it now anyway, it's too dangerous to pass like this. ”

Watson pressed Claire's head down as he spoke, his concern was justified, because the two men fighting in the woods were not duel with ordinary swords at all, but with magic cylinders.

Purple bullets flew around the two of them from time to time, and although they didn't hurt each other, the bullets that were fired everywhere had already flown towards Claire's side many times.

However, this time, Claire completely understood the strength of the members of the Blue Rose Magic Team, almost close to each other, and in this case, the two used magic cylinders to engage in a shootout, and they had not even reached each other. It's not that he didn't aim well because he was afraid of the other party, because in Claire's eyes, the scene was not like that at all.

The judgment and reaction of the two of them are afraid that even the high-level swordsmen of the empire have to retreat, and in the face of the bullets aimed at them, they can dodge them in the first place. It looks like an unpredictable prophet. What kind of reaction is this?

Although the two Blue Rose men both use magic cylinders, they are not the same. One of them seems to be using two magic barrels, i.e., two short spears, while the other is fighting with a spear and a dagger. Because the strength of the two is about the same, most of the battles will not be able to tell the winner for a while and a half.

However, the man with the spear may be the assassin who was not caught before, and most likely the mastermind of this assassination operation. But another ...... What's going on?

Just as Krell was wondering, the battle in the forest seemed to have been decided, relying on the dense forest as a cover for the terrain, the man with two guns gradually gained the upper hand, and successfully aimed his handbag at the opponent.

However, the expected bullet did not come out, and the handpiece did not seem to determine the outcome at all......

The bullets of the magic barrel are formed with magical power, and it stands to reason that they should be infinite...... Is it that there is no magic anymore?

...... Wait, it looks like it's just a normal musket, what's going on? Why a combination of a magic barrel and a musket?

The other person who did not die reacted very quickly, because the distance between the two sides was too close, the spear could no longer be effective, and after using the spear to block the cover of the opponent's other hand, the assassin with the spear slashed the dagger in his other hand towards the opponent.

Even in the darkness of the night, Claire could feel the sound of flesh being sliced open and blood pouring out.

The wounded man hurriedly dropped the ordinary musket and ran crookedly out of the forest, and she ran in the same direction as she did. Instead, the other Assassin did not catch up, but moved to the other side of the forest.

“...... Catch her Watson?"

Because of the reason on his hand, the figure running towards the forest did not find Claire and Watson lying on the ground at all, and if it was to catch her, now was undoubtedly the best opportunity.

Even without judgment, brute force alone can catch this man who even walks crookedly. This figure must be inextricably linked to the assassination.

"No, we're going to follow the other side. ”

Watson shook his head, "Don't forget the characteristics of the assassin we met last time, the rifle, the blonde hair, the cloak, and if I'm right, the one who left the other way." Rather than catching the injured guy, following her and finding the first scene is the main thing. ”

"Then let her go?"

“...... This wound is still very easy to investigate. Watson nodded, pulling Claire deeper into the forest.

When a person's thinking is misled by all kinds of ideas, she loses her original reason and judgment.

Like Lilith now.

No, nowhere is it.

Lilith, who hurriedly teleported home in the dark, did not find Sylna, who was supposed to be sleeping in bed. It's already the middle of the night, why isn't Sheena at home?

Did you go to a friend's house for the night?

But Sylna's identity, how could she know any friends, and besides, Annie, who can be regarded as a knew, should also be in the fortress now, so it is impossible for Sylna to go to her. So, where the hell is she?

Thinking of something, Lilith hurried to the room where Sheena was resting, however, the magic cylinder that had been kept there and that she had given to Sheerna was also missing......

No, now that I think about it, it must have been on her, after all, it takes a weapon to commit murder......

【Bang】

The door of the house was violently slammed open, and Sylna, who had moved crookedly, was leaning against the wall, moving step by step towards the house.

However, it soon became clear that Lilith was watching her quietly.

“...... Sheena, what's that?"

Taken aback, Sylna hurriedly shoved a mass of clothes-like things behind her, but it couldn't escape Lilith's sight.

“...... What is it, hand it over. ”

“......”

"Hand it over. ”

A perceptive Lilith had noticed that the part of Sylna's shoulder had turned red with blood, but now Lilith didn't want to ask why she was hurt.

The reason also seems simple.

What Sylna handed over to her was a black cloak with a large cut in it, and it looked like it should have been cut by a sharp weapon.

"I went out in the middle of the night to commit murder, but I was found and injured. Lilith paused, "Am I right?

"Hmm......"

Probably because of the wound, Synar could not even stand on her feet now, and slowly collapsed in front of Lilith.

If it was before, ...... yourself

No, why should I worry about a guy who deceived himself with rhetoric, and then took revenge on the nobles of the empire with his good intentions?

Everything has become clear.

Why did an assassin appear at Sister Anne's birthday dinner immediately after he saved Syna, now think about it, at that time, he and the three demons had all gone to the Imperial City, leaving Sylna alone at home.

After he went to the fortress, there was an assassination in the capital of the empire, and the weapon of the murderer happened to be the hand of the magic cylinder. Only Sylna has the time to commit the crime and the means to commit the crime.

If this scene hadn't happened, I still didn't want to believe that Sheena would do such a thing, but what was the scene in front of me?

Sylna, whose shoulder was cut open, leaned against the wall, holding a smoking magic cylinder in her hand?

Sylna, how can you justify yourself?
