"How is this possible!Almost all of the inventory was put in, and in the end, it was completely annihilated in a matter of minutes!?"

"This ...... But it was true! Pale arrows from the sky destroyed our 'fortress' in a single attack...... After that, the city guards on the scene also withdrew, but our personnel and the wreckage were not able to be found again - it was as if it had completely evaporated!"

"Impossible! Although we don't fully know the hidden power of the Empire, it is absolutely impossible to have such a powerful means! Destroying a fortress-level flesh puppet with one blow is simply ......"

"And, it is said that Bourne is also safe and sound......!

“...... It doesn't matter, even if he escapes for a while, he won't have a chance to take revenge on us - soon he will be wiped out with the city...... By the way, did he make any moves after that?"

"He's gone to the local mage guild in Nazca City to ask for help......!

"Well, those mages who hide in their rooms all year round are indeed tricky opponents...... It is very likely that the attack to destroy the 'fortress' with one blow was also their handiwork, after all, the strength of the association has always been a mystery to the outside world, even the Holy See has to give them face. But it doesn't matter, they shouldn't have the strength to launch it again with that level of attack, and our plan will be carried out as it is!"

"But...... If there's a 'fortress' missing from the ground......"

"Without the 'fortress', we have other means to choose! as long as our compatriots are willing to sacrifice their lives for it, for a short time. It's not impossible to create a weapon that rivals the 'Fortress'!"

"But in that case......"

"Are you afraid of death?"

"Of course not!"

"It's the same with us here...... If we succeed this time, we will be able to create a new future for our country; I am afraid, compatriots who hold the same belief. Won't there be many who will see the sun tomorrow, will they? In that case, it might be worth trying to get the princess to go the other way...... It's just a pity that no matter what kind of future it is, we shouldn't have a chance to see it. ”

"My lord, how could it be, we ......"

"Even if we succeed, we are on a very evil path, and there can be no good end...... Those below can't see it, but I still understand. Just keep your eyes on the front. But they didn't pay attention to their own feet, so we walked into this dead end in the end, and even if some people found out, they couldn't turn back - but no matter what the outcome was, our nation would have nothing to do with us in the future. ”

=============

Natsu lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at the street outside, which had become panicked and chaotic.

"It seems that the other party has already taken action, otherwise with the character of that city lord, he wouldn't have recklessly let the whole city start an emergency evacuation, right?"

However, because the roads in Nazca City are wide and smooth. In addition, there are many evacuation points, and relying on the efforts of many city guards and mages of the association, there has not been excessive commotion - a group of middle-aged mages are monitoring the anomalies in the city, while constantly snorting magic potions to perform tranquilization.

"Don't we need to go to shelter together?"

"Anyway, you're here with Natsu-chan. I don't have any worries about my safety right now!"

"Well, this kind of compliment is really a little shy......"

Aisha rested for a while, and also regained some strength. Supporting his tired body, he walked to the counter: "Alas, I haven't sold much today." I was thinking about earning some living expenses from this trade rally, but I ended up in such a situation......"

Is Aisha short of money?—— Xia is a little incomprehensible about Aisha's actions.

I saw Xia's doubts. Aisha explained to her, "All in all, Lin and I don't have a stable source of income, but I don't have the idea of running a store, so funding or something is really a problem." ”

"That's ......"

"I can't help it, after all, I ...... Well, there are still guests at this time?"

Aisha suddenly raised her head and looked out the door.

Xia also made Aisha's statement stunned for a moment - at this time, who would come to a black magic shop (fog) with a chic shape to buy things? And Aisha, how are you sure that the other party is for this store?

"Is this the place? I didn't expect to follow the guidance of fate and come to such a place......

The curtain was lifted.

What appeared in front of Aisha and Natsu was a little girl who looked timid.

"Generally speaking, the person who says the words 'the guidance of fate' has a high probability of being a young man with the heart of the second middle school, I don't know which kind of guest you are?"

"Eh, what is the heart of the second son, and how do you know that I am a guest and have a request for you?"

Although the person who came was a young girl, she seemed to be very wary, and when she saw Aisha's expected appearance, she immediately showed hesitation.

Aisha secretly glanced at Xiabi, and Natsu, who understood what Aisha meant, walked to the door with a wry smile and sealed the road to the outside with magic.

"Wait, what are you going to do!?Why are you going to ...... the door?"

The girl was confused by Natsu's sudden actions, and suddenly, she remembered some bad rumors that she had heard - legend has it that some traffickers who abducted girls would lock innocent girls in closed rooms and do such and such strange things......

"Ahra, if you walk in, you're still young, but she's a cute girl......"

Aisha's unintentional polite words instantly made the girl cry.

"Wow! I'm short and unfit, I can't sell it for a good price!"

“......”

“......”

Aisha and Natsu looked at each other silently.

[Did this kid misunderstand some wonderful things?]

Looks like she thinks she's going to do something weird and happy to her?Aisha caress her forehead helplessly—even if she is such an undisciplined creature, there are better choices, right? Lynn ......Ahhh

"Ahem, it seems that Xia's aura should really be a little more restrained. Sure enough, the aura of professional black magic is different, and they are all regarded as bustards. ”

"Hey, where do I have that obscene aura! Obviously, I'm also a young and beautiful girl!"

For Aisha's act of splashing ink. Xia Ke is not satisfied-even if he wants to liven up the atmosphere, he doesn't need to make fun of himself.

"Eh, aren't you two weird people?"

It turns out that both of them are regarded as that kind of person...... Aisha and Xia both left a drop of cold sweat. But in a sense. In fact, it is not unreasonable to be so misunderstood, after all, whether it is Xia or Aisha, although they have festivals, it is undeniable that both of them are Lolicon.

"It's hard to say Xia, but I'm Aisha-sama in front of you, but beauty and wisdom are equally important, the embodiment of hero and chivalry......!

"No, by your 'past' deeds. You can't be considered an upright person no matter how you think about it...... For humans. ”

"Don't care about the details, juniors~"

What's wrong with these two people? It's clear that it's all messed up outside, aren't these two people nervous at all?—— in the girl's opinion, the two people in front of them are incompatible with the atmosphere of the city outside, and it's obviously a crisis that can destroy a city, and it seems that these two people are just a farce that they don't know what to call it?

"Girl, why are you here to come to me? Although I was supposed to be a small grocery store selling some ordinary items, considering the shortage of funds, it is not impossible to help you complete some special commissions. ”

"Can you still move like this......

Natsu's eyes looked at Aisha's frail body. couldn't help but complain, but soon regained Aisha's inexplicable eyes: "Allah, aren't there any temporary workers?"

"I feel like I'm still a long way from being a full-time all-rounder job...... In other words, when did I belong to your seniors? And listening to your voice, I don't think anything will happen once you die. Just use me as a 'temporary worker' as an excuse to shirk it, right?"

"Don't worry, you won't leak the identity information of temporary employees~"

"Thank you so much for that......

Under the gags of Aisha and Xia, the girl gradually let down her guard.

"That. If so, can you help me complete a commission?"

"It depends on what kind of price you can give. If you give me the price of a cabbage and ask me to bring back a Diga [beep] X, it will definitely not work...... Ultimately. I'm doing it for the money. ”

Aisha stared into the girl's eyes and said word by word, "So." You entrust me to set the price~"

"But what if I don't have enough money to pay for what I need to entrust?"

The girl was very worried, as if she thought in her heart that what she was about to entrust was not something she could afford alone.

"If it's an ordinary person, it must be that the deal has collapsed directly, but what ...... you" Aisha's eyes swept over the girl's body, making the girl's heart shiver.

“...... You can also pay for the deficiency with your body. ”X2

The two voices coincided.

"I have long known that you will deliberately tease this girl. Xia Bai glanced at Aisha, who was embarrassed by being robbed of her words, and then comforted the frightened girl, "Don't worry, that guy just thinks it's funny so he deliberately teases you, even if you say your request, it's not impossible to ...... your words for free."

"Wait, I'm the store manager! Don't just decide to volunteer!"

"It's quiet, now the manager of the waste wood store who is trembling even walking! At present, this shop is in charge of me as a temporary worker, and your power has been hollowed out!"

Aisha was about to say her opinion, but Natsu walked up to her and reached out and grabbed a tuft of hair on top of Aisha's head.

"It's a foul to be stunned! Doing this kind of thing when I don't have the ability to resist will be punished by God......

“......”

Thinking of another girl who would panic and burst into tears just by pulling her hair, Xia could only sigh - it really deserves to be a master and apprentice, it is the same in this regard. Originally, she was a little curious when she saw the firm tuft of hair on the top of Aisha's head. Now take advantage of Aisha's lack of action, and give it a try. It turns out that even Aisha, who is usually full of majesty, will be full of emotions when she is grabbed by this magical thing called "Silly Hair".

"Sometimes. I'm thinking, senior, are you and Lin really masters and apprentices?"

"Xia, why do you think that Lin and I don't look like master and apprentice......?

"Because I suddenly feel that you and Lynn are more like mother and daughter...... It's more like genetics, isn't it?"

Xia's words immediately made Aisha squirt out a mouthful of cold water.

"Isn't it supposed to be sisters in general? Mother and daughter or something, you really think of some subtle existences. ”

Anyway, even Aisha couldn't help but feel a little Hazi Kashi after thinking of the relationship Xia talked about, a mother and daughter or something, Xia really dared to think about it.

"After all, senior, you feel like an elder, right......?

That is, motherhood?

Aisha didn't expect it either. I will still be evaluated like this in my lifetime.

"It's really a stressful comment - anyway, let's not leave the guests aside, right?" Aisha looked at Lori, who was standing on the side and didn't know how to interject, and finally stopped the topic that was gradually deflecting in a strange direction.

"Ah, it's okay! I don't know what Lu Dao is for, but when the two sisters said this, I suddenly didn't feel nervous......" Little Lori who came to ask for help said timidly.

"If you don't say it, maybe you'll miss the best time. ”

Xia hurriedly reminded the girl.

"Yes, yes!" Startled, the girl quickly tidied up her clothes. Then he bowed deeply, "Please, please stop the behavior of 'those people'!

"Huh?"

The girl's words made Xia a little confused - although it was unclear. It's a mistake that children of this age can make, but at this time, I don't understand it at all.

Listen to her, though. Thinking of the current situation in the city, Xia Duo probably also has some eyebrows about what the girl wants to ask for. But what exactly is the identity of the girl......

"I see, you're the princess Bourne is talking about, aren't you?"

Aisha's words made both Natsu and the girl turn their faces sideways - Natsu was surprised by the girl's identity. As for the girl, because she did not report her home, she was guessed by Aisha.

"For, why do you know the Tao?"

"Because Bourne once mentioned to me a little about you, and your age is right, and your behavior is in line with the image that Bourne is talking about—but I really didn't expect you to come to me as a stranger at first. ”

"That's because that's what I 'heard' to me...... The people who can help me solve the dilemma in front of me are here. ”

Heard ...... Sound?

Aisha and Natsu looked at each other, but they couldn't hide the surprise in their eyes.

Some people may have intuition beyond ordinary people, and can find a way forward with this feeling, at first Aisha also thought that the girl found this place with her intuition, but now what the girl said, she and Xia were greatly surprised.

"Asked weakly. Natsu asked the girl, "Are you...... As long as you want to know something, some vague voices will appear in your ears to give the answer?"

"Yes, that's right, it's true! It's just that I don't know everything, and I can only hear it, and if I don't remember it, I will soon forget it. If I wanted to know how to make wine, it would be easy to know the answer, but if I tried to find a solution to the situation in front of me today, I could only hear some staccato voices despite my best efforts, and I had to find out step by step until I finally found ...... place."

Despite the limited ability, is it really possible to "hear" the real answer?

"What's wrong? Isn't this ability dangerous?"

Seeing that Xia and Aisha's expressions were a little grim, the girl was also very anxious: "I, I also think it's very annoying...... Obviously, there are many things that I don't want to know, but just because I'm curious, I think about it, and as a result, those 'answers' that I don't want to know at all appear. If you can forget how you make wine, there are some things that you can't forget......

"How many people know about this ability you have?"

"......No," the girl said in frustration, "I ...... And didn't tell anyone. Because the voices I heard told me that I couldn't trust anyone I met, and sure enough, sister, you hate me like this, right...... Huh?"

The girl suddenly realized something.

Why did you tell the other party about your abilities today?

"For what...... I didn't hear those voices talking to you for anything......"

In the past, even if I wanted to talk to someone, I would always hear information about that person in my ears...... Once she hears it, she inevitably instinctively generates curious thoughts, and as a result, the girl discovers that almost everyone she talks to, regardless of her appearance, is a very scary person on the inside, which directly causes the girl to dare not talk to them at all. Of course, there are still a few people who can make the girl settle down and communicate with her......

But today, the girl found that the two big sisters in front of her, it seemed that she had not heard the voices related to them from the beginning, and even if she took the initiative to understand them now, there was no voice in her ears.

She had never experienced such a "wonderful" communication experience.

"Rest assured. Natsu reached out and stroked the top of the girl's head, "I've heard of your abilities, and it's not a bad sign of a curse, but rather, it's a wonderful ability that only appears in legends." You, ah, have received the favor of the world that countless people have dreamed of. ”

"Huh, but...... I don't like this ability at all......"

"After all, this ability is too powerful, and it is a little too heavy for humans. But fortunately, your ability is not very strong now, and your mind has not been affected too much, as long as you exercise well, it is not very difficult to control it. ”

Hearing Aisha's words, the girl became excited at once.

"Is this true? can I really control it so that I don't want to hear what I don't want to hear?"

"I don't have the ability to do this, after all, I've only heard of it, but Aisha's seniors......" Xia turned her head to look at Aisha, "Maybe apart from her own problems, there is nothing she can't do in this world, right?"

"Oh, yes, it's really shy to praise it like this, and there are things I can't do in this world......"

"But it's not much, right?"

"Hawkers, now is not the time to dwell on this, let's tell us the details of your commission first, little princess~ As for the problem of your ability, there is always a way, isn't it?" (To be continued......)
