Solo Swordmaster

#321. Why are you looking at me like that?

* * *

[La Labyrinth! Please help!]

“Huh?”

[The New York branch has been discovered! I managed to avoid it, but I don’t know when they might catch me!]

“What?”

The ghost of the 4th rank of the Liberation Brigade.

Labyrinth raised her eyes.

And urgently grabbed the communication item and shouted.

“wait for a sec! Then what about my collection that was there?”

[Yes?]

“The research materials stored there! Of course you took it with you when you ran away, right? ok!”

[That’s it…]

The executive was taken aback, but couldn’t answer.

While he was in a hurry to take care of his body and run away, he couldn’t afford to take care of that.

Labyrinth, guessing the answer through that reaction, raised a bloodline on his forehead.

“Hey comrade XXX! Even if I die, I should have packed my research materials!”

[sorry. I’ll make up for this mistake somehow, so please find an escape route…! ]

[La Labyrinth? Labyrinth…!]

Kwajik!

Ignoring the opponent’s anxious voice, Labyrinth smashed the communication item as it was.

And after a while, he swept away everything on the desk and shouted.

“Aaaaaaa! These damn things!”

If this had happened for the first time, Labyrinth might not have been so excited.

The problem is that this contact has already happened a few times.

The one who escaped is better.

After losing contact, I checked and found that there were not one or two executives who were already dead or arrested.

It had to be.

Billions of people, dazzled by the massive bounty, were chasing the Liberation Brigade.

Even supermarket clerks and local housewives carried wanted lists, so executives with criminal records could be discovered just by showing their faces.

Still, if that were the case, the officers would not have been arrested in succession.

Either change your identity and run away.

hiding in hiding places, etc.

Because the executives also responded.

Normally, I would have been able to get over the hump for a while with just that.

“You traitors! Do you dare to sell out your comrades?”

One problem.

Their enemies were not only outsiders.

No, if I had to compare them, there were more executives whose identities or hiding places were falsely caught and caught because of the betrayal of insiders.

It was natural.

The Liberation Brigade is a player criminal organization composed of only poor quality criminals from the beginning.

I wonder if it’s an executive level whose loyalty has already been proven.

It was a very attractive story that you could earn money that would make you well-loved for the rest of your life just by informing the general members of the organization.

To the extent that thanks to each other’s tip-off, skits in which they are subjugated side by side take place all over the place.

Besides, it was not something that could be done only by being careful of betrayal.

Get in a car and hide in a mountain valley.

or call on your smartphone.

Searching on a computer, etc.

Those who spilled clues related to the Liberation Brigade while using products related to Bahamut were also being discovered one after another.

“Damn, damn, damn!”

Thanks to that, more than ten branches have already collapsed.

Considering that there have been very few precedents where a branch of the Liberation Brigade was discovered so far, the damage was truly absurd.

In addition, the brigade’s discipline itself was becoming a mess because the executives were hectic and couldn’t trust each other because they were hiding and running.

For Labyrinth, it was inevitable to have a seizure.

“My research materials! How much money and time it will take to get it back…!”

…What really hurt Labyrinth’s heart was the research material lost along with the branch, rather than the damage done to that organization.

It was a big hit because I lost the toys I had prepared for years.

In order to restore it, even the materials that were barely collected by ordering each branch were blown away.

It was something to turn his eyes to.

“The Magician, that cowardly comrade! What do you mean you just have to crouch down?”

That’s why Labyrinth cursed the second-ranked ghost magician.

If they had put their hands on it in advance, the Liberation Brigade could have been prevented from becoming such a mess.

Because now it’s too urgent to block.

It was to the point of wanting to demote Magician by taking responsibility right away.

‘Even if it wasn’t an example of a damn star…!’

But I couldn’t.

As long as the decision was made based on the foresight of the stars, if the responsibility for this mistake was to be held, it would go back even higher than the magician.

Even for Labyrinth, who regarded even the monarch, the magician, as a competitor, it was something he could not even dare to do.

So, in the end, Labyrinth turned that resentment in a different direction.

The Seven Dragons suddenly went crazy and started hunting them.

And to the person who provided the decisive cause for putting the brigade into such a predicament by interfering with the gathering of the Seven Arcs.

“Limon aspeller is a fuck! I will definitely kill you!”

The one that ruined his plans.

He led the liberation brigade hunt.

Not knowing that it was all Limon’s fault, Labyrinth blazed with resentment against him.

After deciding to accompany him to Africa.

Rose immediately started preparing.

While discussing travel plans, he took over the handling of business while he was away.

itself was soon over.

As the restoration work in London was also on track, Lucas, who was close to him, was able to solve quite a few problems.

What was even more difficult was to dispel Lucas and his family’s worries.

“Are you really okay, princess?”

“of course.”

“Can’t you at least take Changryongdae with you?”

“Sir Lucas, isn’t the story already over?”

Rose let out a wry smile.

Of course, I could understand Lucas’ anxiety about sending himself as a princess alone.

But she had no choice.

It’s not just the Black Dragons or the White Dragons that stand out when they flock to Africa, but also the Blue Dragons themselves.

I forbade further dispatch because it might attract attention.

It was because he couldn’t bring his attendants one after another.

“I understand how you feel, but I’m not going to fight there.”

“…”

“Above all, I’m not going alone.”

He is only a mediator.

Watching Rose calmly say that even if there is a problem, nothing will happen, Lucas reluctantly agrees.

I don’t know if anyone else

As long as Limon accompanies them, at least there will be no danger to themselves.

“With that said, I won’t tell you more about the entourage, but don’t forget that Africa is different from Europe in many ways.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

After showing a gentle smile to Lucas, who couldn’t hide his concerns until the end, perhaps because he still couldn’t let go of his worries.

Rose accepted the travel backpack he had put out.

If he had been in his usual uniform, he would have looked very out of place, but at least not now.

A thin shirt and a thick vest.

Jeans that fit your legs.

Glasses without a prescription.

A hat that hid her blue hair.

In addition, there is a professional camera hanging from the neck.

Rose, dressed in everything, looked nothing more than an ordinary tourist or cameraman.

It was packaged like a tripod for kendo shooting protruding from a backpack.

“At this level, even in Africa, you won’t be noticed.”

“I’m not saying it’s wrong…”

“Is there something strange about it?”

“…No, at least there is nothing wrong with the outfit.”

The problem is that her beauty stands out too much for an ordinary traveler who cannot be hidden even with ordinary clothes.

Lucas just swallowed the words that came out of his throat.

Anyway, that wasn’t a problem that could be solved unless the whole face was covered with a mask.

‘Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve been on a trip like this.’

But Rose, not noticing Lucas’ complicated feelings, smiled.

As the princess of the Seven Dragons.

and as Count Sea Serpent.

It was Rose who always lived according to formality.

However, thinking that she was going on a trip while hiding her identity, I felt a little bit of a thrill even as a naive woman.

Especially in that the travel companion is Limon, not anyone else.

Sigh.

It was then that the parlor door opened and a black-haired girl appeared.

“Is Rose ready?”

“yes. We can start right now.”

“Good for you. The swordsman is now ready to depart.”

“Is that so…?”

Rose put on a puzzled expression.

He said he was ready, so why didn’t Limon come?

It wasn’t because I couldn’t figure out why.

Ainsha, a white-haired girl, and Shir, a dark red-haired witch, such as Yuna-gyeong, who is tucked into her shoulder, and Youin, who is carrying a small shoulder bag.

It was because among the many people who entered the parlor with Li Qingyu, he saw a strange person.

“By the way, who is behind Li Qingyu?”

“Who do you think it is?”

“Are you a guide by any chance?”

“well. I might as well say that for now.”

“Why all of a sudden…?”

Her and Limon’s trip to Africa is a top secret.

It must be a secret known only to those close to the clan, but why did they bring such a ‘strange’ person before departure?

Rose, who looked at her opponent with questions, was startled.

The moment he saw his opponent’s face hidden by Li Qingyu.

Her own heart, which suddenly started pounding, hardened her for various reasons.

“Why are you looking at people like that, Count?”

and right after that.

Rose felt the shock as if her heart stopped.

Contrary to the unfamiliar voice, the tone felt oddly familiar.

Most of all because those sullen eyes reminded her of some absurd assumption.

“…Sword ball?”

“Call me Limor. My ID now has that name on it.”

“…!”

I hope it can’t be

What would he have misunderstood?

Rose, who inadvertently thought so even while asking the question, felt dizzy at the other person’s answer.

Still, she was better.

Lucas, who was making an expression as if his eyes were about to pop out from behind Rose, was in a state of fainting while standing.

“What is that… what does it look like?”

“You want me to camouflage thoroughly so as not to be seen? So I made sure.”

‘No matter how much, isn’t there such a thing as degree?’

As Rose struggles to swallow the words that were about to jump out of her throat.

Li Qingyu chuckled.

“This might fool Hasneti’s eyes, seeing as Rose didn’t even notice.”

“Perfect. Also Li Qingyu. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.”

“It’s an overestimation.”

[Puhahahaha! That’s right, that’s right! Who would notice that that is our team leader!]

The two black and white princesses are having a satisfying conversation.

Yuna-gyeong, who had fallen on Shir’s shoulder, grabbed her stomach again and rolled over, then fell down.

While Shir, who received such Yuna-kyung, smiled.

As if he had already gotten used to such a reaction, Men Limon held out his hand to Rose, taking Youin’s shoulder bag and putting it on.

“Let’s go now.”

“yes?”

“The Count decided to use space transfer, right? Or should I?”

“Ah… no. I will do it.”

Upon hearing that, Rose suddenly came to her senses and shook her head to clear the confusion.

After a moment of hesitation, he grabbed Limon’s hand, paused, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and looked back at the others.

“Then we will depart.”

“Have a good trip. Just be careful not to get caught.”

“Good luck. I can’t see wisdom, but I believe Lee will do it.”

[Don’t forget the souvenirs when you come.]

“Come.”

Rose expressed psionics.

Even if you’ve never been to a place you know from photos and coordinates.

towards Mount Kilimanjaro.

The moment Limon and Rose disappeared from the drawing room of Leviathan crossed the space and arrived in the middle of the African continent.

Kwaaaaaang!!!

A fierce explosion engulfed the two.
