Chapter 36 35

As the four were discussing, Cecilia was moving down the hallway. Some people passed each other occasionally, but if they walked silently and silently, they didn't get noticed. Because of the size of the organization, personal connections may not be very strong.

(Arms, Armory ...)

Proceed while checking left and right to the extent that you will not be suspicious.

(That's it)

The first floor of an old castle. The room was at the back. Is it more like a warehouse than a room? Only the room was obviously plainly decorated around.

Cecilia goes to Soko with caution. Fortunately the key was not locked.

Slip in and light up the hanging cantera, revealing the inside of the room.

"bingo!" Tr ansl a te d b y jp ｍt l .ｃ oｍ

There were weapons inside. There are several swords hanging on the wall, and a shield underneath. There were plenty of daggers, bow guns and firearms.

Armor and artillery are not like assassin groups, so are they former souvenirs?

The vertical room was too large to see.

Perhaps it was not used in the back, or something that seemed easy to carry was lined up in front. Cecilia grabs the dagger in it.

"I haven't really dealt with the real thing, but is it OK?"

In training, it was always an imitation sword. Although they are similar in size and weight, they will be different if they are actually used. That doesn't mean you can't bring an imitation sword ...

Tra ns lat ed by ｊp ｍt l .c om It was when I put my dagger on the waist belt with the holder. Suddenly the back door opened, and a stranger looked into her face.

Cecilia, shortly after, hides with him.

"You are……"

It was Merlin. As expected, it is a place like a leader. She seemed to remember the faces of all her subordinates, looking at Cecilia and her eyes rounded.

Cecilia unintentionally steps on the bellows. She didn't know what to do, but she crawled her hand on the dagger she had just put on her hips, and she closed the door behind her, without calling.

Then, she makes a stuttering voice.

"No way, you escape that prison from yourself."

Cecilia kept her distance from her dagger while she was not hostile.

"I thought she was more dignified because she was a duke."

Seeing Merlin sitting on an empty box nearby, Cecilia floated a question mark on her head.

"... I can't catch that?"

"How do you catch me? I was supposed to escape secretly tomorrow morning."

"e?"

"What's going to be a fight to the duke? I'm still regrettable."

Merlin stumbled, saying so much.

Tra n s l at ed by Ｊp mtl.c oｍ "But ..."

"That's a pose. Because this organization has grown up, there are some people who say a lot of trouble. There's retribution once you get out of the organization! No matter what you do, you should make money! Yeah, nowadays, there are some people who are masquerading as bandits on their own.

Merlin screamed, whining her shoulders.

She looks like a different person from her.

"I don't want to be bigger, because I was targeting the assassin of the pirates, who only killed the bad guys at first, but now they kill anyone if they get paid for it. Sa "

Cecilia was listening to Merlin without saying anything.

That's what he did, but he doesn't seem to be a bad guy.

"So it was a good opportunity to get out of Dante, because he was my earner, and if I wish him happiness, I shouldn't stay in this place."

His face was like a sister worried about his brother.

Actually, they may have been in such a relationship. It wasn't described in detail in the game, but it seemed strange that Dante stayed under someone for no reason.

"That's why you came here to take this opportunity to dismantle the organization."

"I?"

"Yes. Stupid executives have said for a long time to kidnap a noble and get a ransom, and this was also the case of retaliation against Dante. This was against the ransom business. It may have been a forced opposition to me. ''

Apparently, Himart is not monolithic. The story told from her mouth sounded like some of them were hostile to her.

Merlin gets up from an empty box. He lightly hit his ass and turned to Cecilia.

"Well, I was confused, but I was supposed to escape you from the beginning. I didn't think I would escape on my own. Even when I came to the arsenal, I came here to pick a weapon to deliver to you tomorrow. I think it would be inconvenient if it was round. " T r an s la ted by ｊp mtl .co ｍ

"Yes, what is it?"

I nodded calmly. I don't trust her completely, but she has no reason to lie.

Merlin turned to Cecilia's hip dagger.

"Well, if you have already chosen, the story will be early .... Come on. At this time, I will send it to the school."

"Oh, yes"

Merlin takes the lead and hands on the door. However--

"that?"

"What happened?"

"Does not open"

She rattled the doorknob several times.

Meanwhile, gray smoke slowly enters through the gap in the door. When I put my hand on the door, it was slightly warm.

"It failed"

Cold sweat spreads through the contours of Merlin who made such a firm voice.

She bitten her lower lip with a rushing look, and she shouted at Cecilia.

"Please stay there!" T ra n s la t ed b y Jp mtl.ｃ om

Cecilia moves her body sideways as he was told. The next moment, Merlin hit the door.

The door came off along with the hinge with a blazing sound and fell outward.

"It looks like she's been fucked."

The hall was full of fire and smoke. The brilliant flame spreads over curtains and wood.

Cecilia's spine was frozen.

"this is!?"

"It's a fire, or an arson. It's a belly of trying to dispose of the surplus people together."

"... I mean?"

Merlin pinched Cecilia's nose, twisting her head just to get the point.

"It's a mistake to have kidnapped you, and if you think about it, you'll be scared, so let's erase it with me."

"Eh !?"

Cecilia exclaims.

"If I die with you here, I can smear all my sins and hopefully the whole organization can be hijacked.

"boss!"

Behind the flame, a man who could be her man shouted. He seems to want to come to help, but he seems to be disturbed by fire and smoke.

Merlin pointed at the exit.

"You guys don't run first! I'll follow you later !!"

"But!"

"Don't be quick !!"

"... I understand! Safe!"

"You guys!"

Merlin is probably a good boss for his men. They passed in front of me with a regrettable look.

"Well, what are you doing? You're on fire to make you and me steamed.

As expected she seemed impatient.

The stairs leading up to the second floor and the corridor in front are lit. Since the window is behind the flame, it is impossible to escape from the window.

If you go deep inside the arsenal, you can still escape from the fire, but the destination is a dead end. At best, you'll only earn time.

"Are you okay?-The face is deep blue."

The first time I noticed that I was shaking. It's natural to be afraid of being at risk of death, but her fear felt like something else.

My teeth squeal and my body is stiff. Cold sweat blew from my whole body with so much fear.

Cecilia nods at last.

"……It's okay"

"I don't see that, but I'm going to go with you because you can still go this way."

"Yes"

So when I tried to follow Merlin, a pillar was falling on Cecilia with a loud noise.
