Episode 4

It was a bandage coming from the sleeves of the black jacket. While the young man fell on the ground, the black jacket man lifted his rusty boots up high, and strongly pressed down – to crush the youth body.

He rolled towards the enemy’s back, picked up his momentum like a ballet dancer in an instant, then swung out a double kick using both of his legs right into the back of the black-jacket enemy’s head.

If it was just like the usual enemies, all these kicks would have been suffice to take them down. But all these didn’t even make the black-jacket man move one bit. This moment he saw something in the opponent’s eye. Fear, he thought. Now he has something to take advantage of. In an instant, he galloped to the enemy’s position, took out his knife and slashed through the left leg’s vein in a quick swift motion, followed by a graceful jump-back, returning to his previous stature.

As they were trading, the boss took out a long barrel gun and stood in the far front, aimed at the black jacket man and pulled the trigger. A thick-big-headed bullet could be seen traversing through the thin air between the individuals. Just when it was about to land the hit, a bandage flew out from the the jacket’s hem, effectively deflecting Boss’s bullet.

The black man jacket slowly waving start, from the cuffs and pendulum in the emergence of numerous bandages under the clouds.

That move was purely based on instinct, and had even surpassed the conventional magic prowess. Furthermore, his blade couldn’t slash through the body underneath, it was as if it had an unbreakable armor beneath. Pretty sure it was due to those bandages, he thought. In an instant, he swiped out his knife and held in one hand, with the other hand holding the blade, forming an attack technique known as ‘Dual Wielding’. The boss took out his barrel and aimed at the enemy simultaneously, letting a mouthful of tobacco smoke while he was doing the move.

“Yo, nii-chan! Are you investigating? Did you find any useful information?”

“Who knows, what about you, master?”

Just as the sounds dropped, the black jacket man came down in an instant from the knee-high table. The youth slashed it into two pieces right after that. It was at this moment that the enemy seized the perfect opportunity to escape. He jumped out through the gap of the opened windows.

The black coat crashed through the glass and gave a harsh crackling sound, which dived into the darkness and escaped. Although the young man immediately rushed to the window, but the shadow of the target has long been gone.

“Can you catch him?

“Not now. ——Well～, that guy is really strong. If I was to speak about his strength in one word it would be the same as you.”

The boss began to completely relax from the shoulders down, the growth of the revolver back to the arms.

The youth still maintained a vigil look, waving a knife on the blade of blood on the floor. And then suddenly noticed something like.

“That’s, Aylesi is…”

The boss silently to the office chair, with his hands grasping the hair of the men in the tuxedo lying there.

Lifted his head rudely, watching his face. Then immediately let go of his hand, very silently shaking his head.

“Already dead”

“… that is to say, is Aylesi the” black “side?

“Who knows, maybe he was tortured to death without knowing anything, or he might have been murdered after he had uttered the secret – so didn’t I say it? The matter was very urgent!”

The boss picked up the rolled up parchment in front of him, readily thrown to the youth. After waving a hand to catch it, he once again looked at the summary of the task written on it.

“Merida Angel …”

Disastrous ability value. A heretic existence which cannot utilize mana despite belonging to royalty. On top of this there were outrageous requirements, such as having the master cultivate young girls into supreme knights…….

This cultivation period was especially worthy of attention. Be her tutor, approximately three years until Merida Angel graduated from the Frideswide Girl’s Academy. This is a long-term task that has not been done before.

There was always the feeling that it’d turn into 3 difficult years of living undercover like a spy.

“………Really no way. I can not accept this task of being the tutor for the “talentless girl” Lady Merida Angel. But, there is one thing I care about in any case.”

“What?”

“This task – why in the end given to us? Setting aside the matter regarding the investigation of Marinoa-sama’s interpersonal relationships, it should be fine leaving jobs such as family tutor to the knight squadron and those belonging to the more normal organizations.”

Being asked the question of course, the boss turned the blood stained face of the enemy and lit the tobacco.

“… no such thing … no doubt this is a very suitable for your work”

“What do you mean?”

“Hey, don’t play a fool with me! Our identities and our works are the same.”

In that place, all over the darkness.

Furniture covered with knife marks, a large number of scattered dead bodies, the smell of death were as if suffocating.

Wearing something like a uniform while gazing at the night, his body was also tainted with sticky blood –

The man holding a cane, laughed and said.

“- Assassins.”
