SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

5.

“Do you have all these veils..."

I muttered. I'm going crazy.

An old warehouse. Here, the moonlight glows with huge iron bars, the Inquisitor gives a big smile. My face was severely sunny in the same situation as being in prison.

“Ah, I had many dresses when I was a child. I didn't really think I was going to get the role of female spirituality. So this is a life experience, too! ”

“I'd like to get just a little bit of your infinite positive energy…. ”

“The world is beautiful. Four Kings! Think positive! ”

Is there ever a time when you won't smile?

Even if a meteor drops in front of your eyes, "Ah, this is bad! It's the end of the world! I can't help it. We did everything we could! ’I think I'll laugh.

“What's so positive? ”

“Here's the thing! ”

The Inquisitor motioned his hands to form a Demibeast. And then I whispered.

“Sacred rites, transformation. ”

Light flowed between the thin fingers. It was a proprietary and sacred ritual of the Inquisitor. If it was a transformation, it would be a transformative ritual... It didn't change anything just by looking at its appearance.

But as soon as the Inquisitor opened his lips, I realized. What transformed.

“What do you think?”

It was a moment, but it gave me goose bumps.

“Is it a little noble now? ”

“My voice..."

“Yes! I changed the vocal chords slightly. ”

Sinkhole, the Inquisitor smiles.

“I still hear that my voice is neutral. You just have to trim it a little bit. Aha, I can't hear myself objectively! How about that?”

“That's amazing...? ”

To be honest, I was impressed.

“It's like a nobleman with a sense of refinement. Uh, well. Just keep your mouth shut. ”

“Thank you!”

"Hmm."

I stroked my chin.

I unexpectedly assumed the role of [protagonist & butler]. But the Inquisitor and I have enough to deal with. The Inquisitor has a sacred ritual...

I have regression skills.

‘Okay.’

It's worth a try.

"......."

The Inquisitor lifted his head and looked at me.

“I feel a little relieved. ”

“Yes?”

"My face has been dark ever since I returned from the Thousand Seal. The king. There was a tremendous amount of stress when he attacked the book of revelations."

I've lost my words for a moment.

“Well, you've lost your precious master! So I was also worried about this attack. I wish the Four Kings couldn't do what they do because of their depressed emotions, but they did. ”

“… but you can still guess emotions by looking at people's faces? ”

“Yes! I don't know what it's like to be depressed, but I understand with my head! Aha. Machines squeak when they get greased up. Stress would be human oil. It's hard to clean after a long time, so take good care of it! ”

Amazing. Are you trying to understand Humans in your own way? He's a psycho, but he's a freaking psycho.

“By the way, the Four Kings. ”

“Yes."

“There's something strange about that. ”

“What are the odds? ”

“I understand that we are currently imprisoned by unjust power. Freedom of movement is repressed. ”

“That's how I see it. ”

“Thank goodness for mutual understanding! And usually when this happens, the authorities keep a guard or a guard separate from the prisoner. because if you don't, you can easily try to escape. ”

The Inquisitor tilts his head.

“But I don't see any popularity outside the door right now, but I see popularity outside the window. Hmm. Is it possible in this world to have a watcher around a window instead of a door? ”

At that moment.

“Damn it! Hit it! ”

As the bars fall, shadows jump from the windows.

“I don't care if you kill a man! Just don't hurt the girl! ”

The shadows wear masks on their faces. The dress concept was too great to be seen by the guests who came because we were worried. Apparently, it was a raid by uninvited guests.

“Sparkle!”

[Yes, Warrior.]

I unleashed the sword. Yikes! The Raider's Blade and my Blade collide.

There were no questions about the frequent raiders in the raid scene of the movie. Who the hell are you? You don't have to know! But we have an enormous amount of power behind us! Conversation summarized as’. My opponent was busy swinging his sword, too.

But I had a trick in my spleen.

“Now!”

Flash.

The sword shines.

“Ugh?! ”

The assailant, whose eyes have become accustomed to the darkness, closes his eyes shortly. The Workshop where the sword is slammed in the battlefield decides the battle.

I blink, alternating my left and right eyes, securing my sight, and then I blow the attacker's wrist away.

“---Ehh----!"

Screams of the voice blend together like marbling.

“God-king! You can't kill them all! We need to find out who's behind this. Save them! ”

I did.

Inquisitors were also waving their dresses around.

“No way! It's not just any girl, is it? ”

The raiders are appalled. They're not very good. No, maybe we're too good. We could not bear the bruises that could not use the error.

After all, up to four raiders were overwhelmed in an instant. One of them was killed by a heretic interrogator during a fight.

“Mmm-hmm. Ah-ha. ”

The Inquisitor shrugs with his dress sleeves and wipes the blood off his face. The raiders raise such a heretic interrogator. It was a white face.

“I heard you're a weak nobleman... How did you...? ”

“You have three options! ”

The Inquisitor smiles with his dagger in his hand.

“Number one, you can just die by asking me to kill you right here and now! Second, while being tortured by me, I am able to demonstrate important information in turn! Third, if you give away your information purely, you will not die or be tortured! Which would you like to choose? ”

“Huh…. ”

The oldest of the attackers snorted. He was also the guy whose wrist flew off from me.

“Crazy bitch. Kill her! ”

“Yes! I understand! ”

“What?"

And the Inquisitor's dress turned a little red.

Percussion, a dull sound echoes through the warehouse.

His head fell to the ground.

“Hee, hee, hee...?! ”

Two remaining raiders.

“Are you done with your choices? ”

“Sa, please save me. My Lord, we just got the job! ”

“It's a hard world to live in. I understand.”

“Then…. ”

“But as I understand your position, you have to understand mine!

“Tell me why you attacked us. But I'm going to let you live. I think it's a very generous trade. ”

The raiders hesitate.

“Ah. You don't seem determined. Got it! Let me help you decide! ”

“Ouch. You're going to help me.... ”

“Torture.”

The Inquisitor still frowned.

“Pain proves that man is alive. When pain reaches extremes, so does human survival instinct. So let me maximize your desire to live. ”

“Please, save me! ”

“Please live!”

Crazy.

I intervened because it seemed like the genre would soon turn into a 19-gold romance.

“Wait, Inquisitor. ”

“Yes?”

“You don't have to go like that. Leave it to me."

“Hmmm...? ”

The Inquisitor looks suspicious.

“Your Highness, were you also able to torture? I suggest you leave it to me, unless you're quite adept. I'm an interrogation specialist. ”

“No. There's no need for torture. And wipe your face. ”

I handed the handkerchief to the Inquisitor and stood in front of the raiders.

The raiders took a sigh of relief. Sorry. I'm not very generous with people who've raided before.

“Guys, let me ask you something. ”

“Well, what is it? ”

“You came through the window when you raided. The bars were cut too easily. Did you cut the shackles in advance when you heard we were going to be trapped here? ”

"......."

The raiders do not answer. We only see each other. But not answering with my mouth did not mean that there was no way to find out the correct answer. ‘Portrait window.’

I could see their psychology.

I heard that a woman will come into the warehouse.

"Damn, she was a normal girl, but it was a scam!

I knew it.

The raiders knew we were coming.

“Attack us and yell, 'I don't care if you kill a man, just don't hurt a woman.' Were you trying to kidnap an infant here? ”

“Th-that…… that……"

The raiders blink.

It was a request to kidnap a woman here.

Never hurt her, even though the client was very careful. That's why we ambushed four of them.

Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, I get it.

“Hah... ”

I sighed. Turning back, the Inquisitor is scrubbing his face hard with a handkerchief. It was like a baby hamster was eating sunflower seeds.

“I have a good idea who the killer is. ”

The Inquisitor's ears widen.

“Oh, you really know that already? ”

“Yes."

“I want to hear what the tetrarch has to say. ”

The Inquisitor's eyes sparkle.

I nod my head and whisper in my ear.

“First of all, he's a very powerful man. We hired four assassins to infiltrate the institute, which is impossible without the inside knowledge of the institute's security system. ”

“Oh, that makes sense! ”

However, and the Inquisitor argued.

“Does the unsub need to be [with a lot of power]? It doesn't look like a royal palace, and it looks relatively easy to figure out the school's security system. You could be just as powerful as the rest of us! ”

“Sharp point. ”

I shook my head.

“Here's another suspicious situation. Inquisitor, do you remember what you shouted when [evil spirit] kicked us out? ”

“Hmm."

The Inquisitor worries as he puts the handkerchief into his sleeve.

“Yes, I remember. I said," Get it out of my sight. Lock him up right now. "Why do you ask? ”

“I didn't say anything about locking her up somewhere. ”

"......."

“The evil spirit just told us to get out of the ballroom. But these raiders knew where we were going to be, and they cut the bars off. The people who brought us to this warehouse were servants of perpetual evil. ”

“Wow…. ”

The Inquisitor's eyes narrowed like a blindfold.

“Indeed. Perhaps the infamous villain hired the raiders. All you have to do is tell your servants where to put them in advance and tell the raiders where to put them. Aha. He's the Duke's favorite, so he must have power. ”

“Yes, but-. ”

“But it's so obvious. ”

The Inquisitor strokes his chin.

“I am the protagonist of the world. A noble ceremony riding a thumb with the Crown Prince. They chase me away and ambush me where I've been banished? Even an infamous Duke would be caught up in a massive scandal! The political burden is too big a handshake. ”

As expected, Inquisitors are smart.

Talks like this work fast.

“That is, the infamous villain is not the culprit. He's the one who really wants the infamy to look like he's the perpetrator. ”

“I agree!”

“And the real culprit considers Inquisitor Ethan to be important enough to tell the assailants [never hurt a woman]. As a butler, I don't care if I die or not. Finally, powerful enough to buy the duchess's servants. ”

“Ah-ha-ha.”

The Inquisitor smiles.

“Now I know who the real culprit is! ”

“I'm sure you're thinking the same thing. ”

“Well, I don't know the feeling of love. But we know the habits of those we love! If the real culprit really cares about me, as the king guessed, he can't really give my identity to these raiders. ”

“Yes."

I nodded.

“Must be on the air nearby. You may enter at any time. ”

Kuang!

It was then that the old door of the warehouse was broken. The dust rises, and a group of knights spill out.

In the front, there was a man who was unlikely to have ever been dusted in his hands.

“Sylvia! Are you all right, Sylvia?! ”

The man jumps in and hugs the Inquisitor tightly. When I was alive, I had blonde hair like noodles. Not as handsome as the Inquisitor, but he was also handsome. Appearance level 0.6, Inquisitor?

“Oh, my God, you're covered in blood! When I heard that I was kicked out of the ballroom, I came to feel uneasy... How dare you do something so evil...! ”

And the psychopath level will probably be about 0.6 heretics.

The man ordered without blinking once.

“Look! Catch those suspicious bastards! I will interrogate you personally and find out everything behind this! I don't know what kind of family did this, but I won't forgive you even if you study the empire! ”

The knights responded in unison.

“Yes, Your Highness! I am commanded by His Majesty! ”

Yes, it is.

“My dear Sylvia. Don't worry, I'll protect you. No matter how vicious the Duke's feast may be, I, the only heir to the empire, will protect you. You just have to rely on me.... ”

That man is the protagonist of the Sormwyn School.

And he was the Crown Prince who loved the Inquisitor.
