22 – Spiral of Destiny (6)

A woman who joined Anasha’s party with me.

Judging by the fact that they are here, did they reach the Empire safely?

“·······.”

So, who are those people wearing dark suits?

There was not a single face I saw in the procession of victims. Everyone had hard faces.

The stiff atmosphere exuded unrest. Then Shigira took another step forward.

“Quillière.”

Serious voice. Why.

Why does she also have a hard expression? Why is that hand on the side of the belt scabbard?

Her uneasy feeling materialized when she said the following.

“The Lord wants to see you.”

Sigila is from Euristia.

The head of a family must mean the head of one of the city’s ruling families.

However, corruption was rampant there.

I finally understood her skills.

She was not an ordinary person, but a skilled combatant belonging to a family.

“…You must have been the family’s leading man.”

Shigira nodded to my realization.

Meanwhile, I was disappointed. Euristia’s corruption was clearly true in terms of the past setting.

It was self-evident just by looking at the two family heads putting on a show with the snake god.

But to be able to work for such a lowly family.

I thought he was a taciturn but kind person, but it seems I was mistaken. There might be a story, but I wasn’t interested.

More than that.

“Are you looking for me?”

“Yes.”

This word was questionable.

My stay in the city was only brief. Not to mention the family head, he didn’t even come close to the family. At that time, I thought of the family heads who acted like the snake god.

This is a scene that I watched as well. Did you see it then?

No, it must have been. Because there was no other possibility. But why are you looking for me?

Even if you say you’ve seen it, the fact that you haven’t talked to it will not change.

From noble mtl dot com

······I suddenly had an ominous thought.

“…For what purpose?”

“You’ll find out about that when you go.”

Sigala, who still had a solemn expression, did not explain. Cutting it off was like avoiding a conversation.

The ominousness has increased.

This is a strange thing in the first place. It was strange that Shigira was here.

It must have followed me.

Besides, if he had brought his subordinates in so quickly, his actions would have been quick.

Why am I in such a hurry? It was also suspicious not to mention the purpose.

There were two possibilities.

First, the grudge that killed the snake god’s family.

The guy who settled in the city was the enemy of the citizens, but apparently the corrupt family heads were taking advantage of it. You don’t want him to disappear.

Anasha Cheryl had declared that she would suggest subjugating the snake god at the post office. She’s a bad thing to her, but there was also her family’s sister-in-law, Shigira.

If Sigila had reported the ‘scheming’, what would the head of the household have done?

She must have wanted to deal with Anasha, a thorn in her eye.

Somehow, the black snakes that came in suddenly were suspicious, but they were the family head’s behind-the-scenes work.

However, the plan fell through. By the person called Quilière, who is an irregular.

Couldn’t Sigila have gone back and told me everything about me? Hearing that, the head of the family must have been furious.

Now that Anasha is alive, I don’t know how things will go.

She was very unfair, but she deserved to blame me, the culprit.

She sent an enlisted soldier to retaliate. If this assumption is correct, it is understandable that Shigira does not explain.

It’s obvious that he’ll be rejected, so why bother talking about it?

This would be terrifying if true, but better than the second hypothesis.

Because the second one.

“·······.”

···Quillier, the snow woman I created, is an insignificant existence, but her beauty is outstanding.

Because she was created only for look and feel, she has no counterpart. Even I, who see it every day, am startled, but what about people seeing it for the first time?

On that day, in the city square, two heads of families or one of them set their eyes on me. At first sight, I fell in love with Quilière’s beauty.

And, as a rule, corrupt people fall in love with women.

Perhaps Sigilara didn’t report it, and the family head may not know that I killed the followers. I didn’t even know if I was interested in the momentary sighting.

Is that why you sent soldiers to bring me back? If that’s the case, if you’re dragged along like this…

Oh no!

I shuddered at the terrifying imagination.

Both possibilities are the worst, so the Sigila who came to pick me up looked like a grim reaper.

Her reflex was a strong glaring at her.

Even though we weren’t close, we knew each other well, but I felt betrayed a lot. I don’t think she knows what will happen to me after being dragged away by the householder.

I opened my mouth with the last hope.

“Should I?”

Being only one of her limbs, she must have had no veto. She asked, wanting to appeal to one last conscience.

Shigila nodded resolutely, without any hesitation.

“Yes.”

– You won’t be an easy opponent. Bring it politely.

Lasithea gave clear instructions.

It was because I knew that the music box and Sigila’s testimony were not ordinary people.

Sigilah tried to faithfully understand the lord’s command.

However, she was an orphan.

She was raised by her family, where she distinguished herself in backstreet fighting, but her education was all in the field of combat.

She failed to learn communication skills and manners.

“Quillière.”

Right after she called her name, she looked back at the terrifyingly beautiful woman.

There was still a cold gaze, as if everything was useless. Remembering the scene of the day, Sigilah placed her hand on the side of her scabbard.

It was the human instinct to become an assassin.

It was her behavior that made everyone hate her, but she couldn’t blame herself.

That’s right, Quilière had always had a cool attitude. His words were short and cold. I didn’t know what kind of personality she had, whether she was a good person or a bad person.

She saved people from the snake god’s followers, but it was a trap she herself fell into.

It’s really unpredictable.

Besides, what about her powers? A majesty reminiscent of great magic that brought a blizzard.

She should have been able to kill herself at any time.

Sigira was now standing in front of her, risking her life.

“The head of household wants to see you.”

Quilière seemed to be struggling with her carefully spit out purpose. Her icy expression shook slightly.

The current situation of Dangju is not very good.

Even if he was wrapped in a veil, it would be better if he could get her help.

Sigira was silent.

I just waited, waited.

Now that we have conveyed the purpose, all we have to do is receive an answer. She was her own ‘caring’, giving her time to think.

“…For what purpose?”

The answer returned within a few days.

Sigila felt frustrated that Quilière’s gaze had grown sharper.

Her somehow marked aura became stronger. An ominous current flowed.

If you ask what the purpose is, it’s to fulfill the head of the household. The reason why her family head wanted to meet her was… Complex.

The power that slaughtered the monster called the music box and the snake god’s family. There were not a few side branches that would extend from there.

As Shigira, it was a part that could not be explained succinctly. In fact, I wondered what exactly her head would say when she met her.

She didn’t know if she made an extra comment and got it wrong.

Her own role is only to take Quilliere.

Others were up to the lord, who showed his qualities since childhood and received elite education.

“You’ll find out about that when you go.”

I conveyed that idea as it is.

You will find out if you go, it was an honest answer without an inch of lies.

He was congratulating himself for saying that he spoke clearly, but in real time, ripples rippled through Quilière’s expression.

It was fine as well.

To the extent that only Sigila, whose senses have been trained for a long time, can barely notice it.

She couldn’t even understand the emotion in those eyes. However, there was no positive response.

Sigilah was reluctant.

I couldn’t understand why they reacted like that. He seemed to have no real bargaining talent.

Before dispatch, he should have asked the family head to appoint an appropriate person.

He missed the right time, but he had to deal with it himself.

He is solely responsible for his failure. If it was a sin, he would be happy to accept it, but if the family was damaged because of it, there was no way to atone for it.

I must complete the mission unconditionally.

To do so, he had to show unwavering faith in Quilière.

“Should I?”

So she nodded her head without hesitation at her question.

“Yes.”

I am a man!

I became a woman, but my identity is a man!! There was no such thing as a man…

“… That’s right.”

First of all, I answered briefly as if leaving room.

Fortunately, they seemed to be seasoning before forcible execution. It’s probably because of the sight he saw when he caught the snake god’s followers.

It’s an illusion, but this time it was helpful. Countermeasures must be taken in this gap.

Fight? It was impossible.

Snow Woman’s fighting ability was extremely poor, and her specs were poor. If she had a human opponent, the effect of her attributes was insufficient. She

She doesn’t have an instant kill or instantly incapacitate her.

Can you beat one person properly?

Also, they weren’t fools either. Especially Sigila knows that I use magic.

I didn’t know if I was going to do something, the dagger would come flying right away. It means that you can’t even cause a blizzard by exploding your mana like when you were a baby black snake.

If you do, you may be immediately decapitated.

At that time, ‘Catalyst’ came to mind.

If you use this amplification artifact, you will receive a big advantage in elemental power. I saw the possibility for a moment… But at the same time, the dance that Shigila showed me the other day flashed back.

Her agility was worthy of being called swift.

With a single swing, he decapitated three or four heads, and moved sideways to the east and west to keep the display stand from collapsing.

Even with dozens of battle experiences, it wasn’t a skill that could be easily acquired.

On the other hand, I had no proper combat experience. There is a big difference between an adult and a child.

There is no battle.

“Will you follow me?”

I was very annoyed at Sigilla’s urging.

One soon, impatience covered it. We have to come up with a solution.

If the battle didn’t work, there was only escape.

Fortunately, I had an excellent escape.

If you turn into fog and run away, they’ll follow you right away, and if you run out of mana, it’s over, but there’s more potential than fighting.

There wasn’t a lot of mana left after attacking the ruins and using the previous ability, but it should be possible if it’s for a while.

It was time to lean on the slim possibilities.

Someone grabbed the collar from behind, and a voice came over.

“Who are these people?”

That moment.

I was blown away, and my heart sank.
