The 31st Piece Turns the Tables

Episode 411

“Huh… Huh….”

A middle-aged man who appeared to be the owner of the mansion hurriedly manipulated the bookshelf.

Tap…

tap…

I hurriedly moved my hand and dropped several books to the floor, and the bookshelf began to move.

Kugugugugugung…

A secret passage revealed behind it.

The middle-aged man quickly entered the secret passage.

“A monster… a monster…”

As the bookshelf returned to its original position, the torch was lit.

Chiik…

rumbling!

As the flames rose, light appeared in the dark passage.

And also someone’s image.

“Aha… it was here.”

“… uh how.”

A woman wearing a fox scarf and tear spots under her eyes was leaning on one side of the aisle, looking at a middle-aged man.

“It’s over, give up.”

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and shouted.

“Frina! It’s different from what was promised! There’s a certain amount of contempt for the federal nobility. If we join forces, villains like you will be eliminated in one fell swoop…”

Puff poop!

Three daggers were stuck side by side in the middle-aged man’s chest.

“Ugh….”

“Well, everyone says that. “They say they want to eradicate evil and make people like us disappear from the world.”

thud-!

The man lay down on the floor.

“But you know what?”

A woman giggling and laughing.

“Of all the guys who have ever said that, not a single one has succeeded. “I wonder why…do only weak people say things like that?”

Pak-!

The woman grabbed the middle-aged man by his hair, lifted it up, and then put it down again.

“He’s dead. “I heard the story and said, ‘What’s the hurry?’”

Kugugugung…

The woman returned to the mansion.

Qarring-!

Lightning struck outside.

As the light flashed, the devastation of the mansion was revealed.

The employees of the mansion and the families living in the mansion.

Everyone became corpses and were rolling around on the floor. There were also a lot of horribly mangled corpses.

There were unusual people standing around him.

“The sky is all over the castle. “Have they seen us?”

“Stop talking nonsense. And the sky is so scared that it almost hides when it sees you like this. “Freena.”

“Giggle… Is that so? Ah… it was boring. Why is everyone so weak? “Wasn’t it fun?”

“That’s human. Just looking at a blade infinitely smaller than myself makes me tremble and have tears in my eyes. “Most of them do.”

Chik…

chik…

A man putting a cigarette in his mouth.

There was blood splattering on his glasses.

“Well, I like that. And you are the only one who considers fun in work.”

“I’m not excited. I can’t remember the last time I had a proper real battle. It’s full of cowards. “I miss the fights filled with the best and the best, greedy for each other’s lives.”

“It’s because the organization has become enlarged. I can’t help it. “Peace has come.”

“peace? Kick… that sounds interesting.”

Qarring-!

Lightning struck again, awakening the devastation of the mansion.

“If you look at this, it’s called peace.”

“I have no intention of arguing about the definition of peace.”

“Edrick… should I quit this job?”

“Then we will be able to have many of the enjoyable battles you wish for. “The organization will come after you.”

“Giggle… I think that would be fun too.”

Sigh…

Edric raised his glasses and asked Prina.

“When will I come into contact with a toad?”

“Well… the higher-ups are telling me to help Toad by my side… I guess I can just do a little cleaning up.”

Edric brought up something she might be interested in.

“I heard there was a guy who was interfering with Toad’s work recently.”

“I heard. So I’m going to leave right away. How big is this guy? “I’m looking forward to it!”

“… You have a bad habit that could lead to an early death.”

“die? I?”

Freena grinned.

“I’m not dying. “It’s always been like that.”

“Even those who died today must have had those thoughts until yesterday. … Well, I hope I’m wrong.”

Edric knew that when the weak get caught up in the affairs of the strong, their lives become as insignificant as the life of a fly. Prina doesn’t know that. Because I have lived my whole life as a strong person.

Edric, who thought he had enough of worrying about being an elder, put out a cigarette with his shoe and left the mansion.

Fortunately, the explosion that occurred at the clock tower did not hurt anyone.

However, it gave Ishii and Yeba some bad memories.

Ishii and Yeba sent a request for protection to the federal government, and soon enough useful people were dispatched to transport them to a safe place.

Since all of this was done in an instant, it also proved that Ishii and Yeba had risen to quite important positions in the Federation.

It may have been a natural response since they were the only people who could properly communicate with the glacier ghosts of Hygeltongue in the first place.

And Kang Seol, relieved, began to trace back the guys who were targeting Sylvia.

“Huh… Huh… I don’t know, I really don’t know!”

The child in front of Snow Seol was the child who sold Ishii the flower equipped with a bomb.

Kang Seol said with an expressionless face.

“You’ll find out when you check.”

Squeak…

Dragon Blood Eyes that dig into the opponent’s memories.

– Any one of you can access it.

[Additional information about the unexpected adventure ‘Night in the City’ has been obtained.]

[If the conditions are met, the unexpected adventure will occur.]

…

What the child said was true. All the guys hanging around the clock tower were their henchmen.

‘Still… I know one thing.’

This is the face and voice of the person who entrusted this dangerous mission to the children. Half of his face was covered with a mask, but that wasn’t enough to fool Kang Seol’s sharp eyes and senses.

Even the image of the magical power he radiated was deeply engraved in my mind.

The shape of magical power is like a fingerprint, so it was only a matter of time before they were found.

Another day passed and I searched the city and found the man.

“Stop that…”

Quaaaaaaaaaaa!

A sword that pierces the back of the hand.

“Kaaaaaaak!”

“I never thought the liver would stay around me so much.”

“Because of the order to keep watch, I have no choice….”

Argh!

Kang Seol grabbed the man by the collar and used Dragon Blood Eyes.

Squeak…

The toad-like man from before has appeared again. This time, even his face was exposed.

– The meeting issued a convening order. A meeting has been set up in Schirlen, so everyone get ready to move.

Jjijijik…

– Moves using Castrang. Time…

crackled…

The man struggled in pain as if his memories were being torn away.

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

will himself Any of the elements sincerely said:

“You left a tail.”

The train that Sylvia and Snowfall were planning to use took two more days due to prolonged maintenance due to a snowstorm.

Fortunately, however, maintenance has been completed and we will now probably be able to reach Shirlaine without any problems.

However, Snowfall had no intention of boarding this train.

“Did you really… promise?”

Kang Seol nodded.

“yes. Do not worry. “With Ur and Karen around, no one will be able to approach Sylvia.”

Kang Seol and his party decided to split into two groups this time.

Ur grumbled with an uneasy expression on his face.

“Ah, traveling with a noisy kid…”

Kangseol said in response to Ur’s complaint.

“Karen is with us too.”

“So there are two. “There are two noisy kids.”

What he was talking about was both Tancia and Karen.

Karen said to Ur in frustration.

“If you call me a kid, I’ll show you how foolish I am.”

“… Can I join Snowfall too? “It looks a lot more fun than watching a kid.”

Karuna put his hand forward to express his refusal.

“I refuse. “There is a lack of loyalty.”

“… I miss Jamard. “At least he was someone I could talk to.”

Haa…

Ur shook his head and said this.

“Anyway, come right away.”

“Yeah, I think I’ll probably take the issue to Shirlen.”

Sigh…

Ur smiled meaningfully.

“That’s more of a wish.”

Ok…

Tansia held Kang Seol’s hand.

“Where are you going again, Dad…”

Ur took Tansia away.

“Your dad is busy. “The little boy will follow his uncle like this.”

“It’s not uncle, it’s Urya!”

A tendon sprouted on Ur’s forehead.

“Okay… okay, call me whatever you want.”

“dad! I don’t want to go! Let’s go together!”

“Karen.”

“huh.”

Sigh…

As Karuna remained by Kang Seol’s side, Karen took Tansia’s place on a wooden horse.

“I’ll be waiting! “You have to come quickly!”

“Okay, just a little snack.”

Tansia becomes a happy evangelist who listens well as long as you give her a ride on a wooden horse.

– Is this wooden horse effective?

– I’m getting scared now…

– Isn’t there something wrong with the child?

Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus his

hiss

the train they were on disappeared into the distance

.

Snowfall and Karuna remain in history.

Snowfall muttered quietly.

“Then… let’s wait.”

* * *

A few days later, Castrang stopped at Cherise.

Pushy…

The toad has arrived in Cherryje. Even though we only stayed for about 10 minutes, there was a reason why we had to stop here.

“Hehehe… Freena. Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you Du… no, Tekon.”

The two men shook hands.

The men and women had identical rings on their hands.

The only difference was that the ring on the toad’s hand looked a little stiff.

Dry old tree.

It was a symbol symbolizing the organization.

It could be said that all those gathered under this symbol were part of the same group. So, even though she thought she looked disgusting inside, Prina shook Tekon’s hand.

“The scarf is impressive. I happen to have some nice fur, so I’ll give it to you as a gift as soon as I get back. Hehehe….”

“Oh, I would appreciate it if you could do that. “We are already ready to receive it gratefully.”

Tekon’s shiny eyes.

Those eyes looked at her surroundings even as they searched her new form.

Tekon’s eyes weren’t unpleasant. These eyes were not insidious.

These were the eyes of a coward.

It is about constantly searching with your eyes for things that can hurt you.

Freena, realizing that Tekon was just such a person, continued to ask with a smile on her face.

“You’re in trouble?”

“Ah… since you are talking about the main point, I will speak at ease. “I’ve had a setback at work.”

While Tekon and Prina were talking, Tekon’s associates stood at a distance and escorted them.

“This is my first time seeing Prinada in person.”

“Now that that woman has come forward, even the saboteur will have a hard time getting past today.”

“They said they turned an entire barracks into a tomb… As expected…”

By the time they finished talking, Tekon and Prina’s conversation had also ended.

“Then please take care of me.”

“Yes, this mission is simpler than you think. “If the saboteur acts alone… we’ll probably hear about it within two days.”

“Hehehe… I only trust Prina. “Then I’ll leave.”

Tekon and his men boarded Castrang again.

Soon the train started moving.

Chick…

Chick…

Tekon said as he sank into the chair.

“She is a difficult woman. “I don’t want to deal with it.”

If it was said that Tecon was picky, Prina’s rumor seemed to be true.

Yoi asked Tekon.

“Is it that much?”

“Yes, she is a woman who is crazy about murder. This is crazy. “There is no need to keep it close.”

Tekon grinned, probably thinking that the troublesome problem would be resolved easily.

“There’s something wrong with this world.”

When Tekon was in a good mood, he sometimes talked about his philosophy to someone.

Mainly the target was Yoi.

“Are you saying it was wrong…?”

“Yeah, it’s strange. The entire Castrang train was filled with Tekon’s minions. Throw away all reservations from good users. “This Tekon is the only one using the moving steel Castrang.”

“….”

“We, who had to hide ourselves in the dark, are now exercising great influence in a public place. “No one doubts this fact and no one stops it.”

“… this is a great thing.”

“Huh… There will come a world where anything is possible with gold and violence. The interests of the Federation will soon be torn to pieces and thrown into the jaws of the wolves.”

Sigh…

“I’m one of those wolves too.”

Tekon picked up the wine glass and gulped down what was inside.

The entrance to the tunnel was visible through the glass window.

Chijijik…

“… Hmm?”

However, as we entered the tunnel, all of the train’s lights suddenly turned off.

The room was soon filled with pitch black darkness.

“What?”

“It looks like there was a lighting problem for a moment.”

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss—b…

As the train came out of the tunnel, light came on inside.

Accordingly, Tecon was also able to understand the situation.

My vision feels oddly stuffy.

Two people filled the empty seat.

Tekon said without turning around.

“… What?”

“….”

It was only then that Tekon caught sight of the man who had appeared.

And I instinctively knew who he was.

“… It’s you. “Have your paths crossed with Prina?”

“Frina? Oh, that woman.”

Snowfall pointed at Tekon with a finger.

“Next to you.”

“… what?”

Tekon looked at his left shoulder, which felt heavy for some reason.

The fox scarf was the first thing that caught my eye.

“Prinna?”

There was a smooth hole in her chest.

It was a neat trick that broke her heart with just one blow.

She was unlucky.

That’s why she died.

Chik…

Chik…

Tekon’s hand trembled as he lit the cigarette.

“….”

“….”

Clap…

Clap…

The train entered the tunnel again. The complaint on the cigarette glowed alone in the darkness.
