Act 5: Chapter 21: 《Bloody Gold Coin》(Side: Philia)

The other side of Polorock... The Dark Ward.

A certain building located deep inside that area was the base of one of the crime organizations, the 《Bloody Gold Coin》.

The main job of the 《Bloody Gold Coin》 was to do the dirty job of the wealthy merchant.

Threat, abduction, assassination, disturbance, and many other dirty jobs.

Their leader, Mardas was a former S-rank adventurer who got demoted to A-rank.

He had been taking assassination commissions from the big shots ever since his adventurer era but, his shady job eventually came to light and he got chased out from the front stage.

He had long blonde hair and fought with a great sword.

His epithet was 《Lauhing Guillotine, Mardas》 from the fact that he swung his sword around during the battle.

... And that 《Bloody Gold Coin》 was driven on the verge of destruction.

The wall and the floor were torn and dug as if a giant monster descended in that place and carved with their claws, their members were rolling around, drenched in their own blood.

Mardas, their leader was falling on his knees with a dumbfounded face.

「What... In the world is happening here? The 《Bloody Gold Coin》... And this great Mardas... Got crushed by a mere brat?」

The moment Philia arrived at the base of the 《Bloody Gold Coin》, she realized that she had been tricked and tried to leave the place immediately.

The member of the 《Bloody Gold Coin》 tried to stop her alas, it was obvious that they were no match for Philia whose level was close to 3000, thus the result showed right before Mardas.

When Mardas rushed in front of Philia after looking at his subordinate who fell on their rear, the latter conjured a giant dragon's arm and mowed down everything around her, thus they arrived at the current situation.

The pair who kidnapped Philia could only hug each other and trembled in fear as they sat on the ground.

「W-What in the world... Are we brought back?」

「I-I'VE NEVER HEARD ABOUT THIS!」

Philia cast a glance toward them.

The duo was startled upon receiving their gaze.

「... So you really don't know Kanata's current situation right? Then Philia going to leave.」

Said Philia as she turned around to leave.

Mardas clenched his teeth, his hands were already touching the hilt of his great sword.

Surely, the girl could use strange magic that almost drove the 《Bloody Gold Coin》 to the verge of destruction.

and yet, the current here was clearly full of openings.

The moment she left this place alive, her comrade would definitely destroy and that would spell the end for the 《Bloody Gold Coin》.

Being looked down on by his peers, his subordinates left, and abandoned by his backer, the big shot of the Greed company.

That or they would send assassins to kill him.

Either way, Mardas' pride as the leader couldn't allow Philia to leave their base alive.

「HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!」

Mardas raised a scream as his body curled up in that place.

「Philia... Don't think that she ever called by that name but, Philia hates to be called by that name.」

Philia declared with a cold voice before she left that place.

No one in that place dares to stop her.

Meanwhile, Mardas didn't dare to raise his face, he kept curling up on that place.

―― Almost at the same time, two figures were visiting the base of 《Bloody Gold Coin》.

The man who led the way wore a black tailcoat and black hat, his elegant appearance stood out like a sore thumb in this back alley.

The man was the ruler of the city of Polorock, Greed.

「Even though Greed-sama can entrust the matter of contacting the crime organization to me, I still can't understand why you're insisting on coming by yourself. Moreover, should we put on some disguise?」

Greed's subordinate, Gain was calling out to his master.

「Gain-kun, why do I need to disguise myself when I just strolling in my own garden?」

「Because a lot of knightdom knights is sneaking into the city. And they're not doing an investigation either, they want to capture you, Greed-sama. If you meet them in this kind of situation...」

「Fufufu, I'm not afraid of the likes of kingdom knight. They're nothing more than a bunch of small fries who love to do street performance. The dangerous one is a troublesome individual.」

「Who... Are you talking about?」

「The above-mentioned girl of magic tool craftsman... I thought it was just some spark ignited by Wontz-kun but, a strange rumor arrived in my ears. I can't believe my ears at first but, I have to at least check the truth. Since Wontz-kun planned to use the weapon called the 《Bloody Gold Coin》, I want to ask the detail to them beforehand...」

Greed's footsteps suddenly halted right there.

Gain who wondering why he stopped followed his bos line of sight... And saw a little girl with bicolored hair of green and light pink standing before them.

「That appearance... Matched with the appearance of one of the magic tool craftsman's companions. Why she's alone by herself in this dark wa—」

Greed ignored Gain and walked slowly toward Philia... With a completely different expression on his face.

「This place is a bit too dangerous for you, young miss... What are you doing in this place? Uhm? Well, you can't walk by yourself in such a dangerous place you know.」

Greed spoke with sweetly, smiling a scary-looking smile as the tips of his lips went up.

「Greed... Sama?」

Gain was baffled upon seeing that kind of expression.
