Chapter 48

On the way home after the appointment with Aris.

Lennok, who arrived at the studio, lost in thought, flinched and stopped as he tried to grab the doorknob.

“.......”

Traces of someone trying to infiltrate through the security magic remain.

The vigilance that had been loose in my head soared to the end at once.

I slowly let go of my hand holding the doorknob and quickly looked around.

Looking closely, there were faint drops of blood on the doorknob. It seems that he tasted the tingling taste of the bolt magic he set up while trying to open the door and break in.

It seemed that even the weakest part of Lennok’s barrier had not been penetrated, but there were people trying to rob his house.

Looking at the unit price, the security was not good either.

Ugh!

It slowly raises its mana and spreads it in all directions at once, centering on the studio.

The search radius is 2km. If the thief still remains around here, it is possible to identify the culprit at once by comparing it to the bloodstains left here.

[Bloody Chase]

Let’s use the magic we used when chasing the bounty while leaving the sensory sphere in all directions. The droplets of blood on the doorknob had turned into small threads, and he raised his head.

Points in the right direction. Where are you?

Lennok slowly turned his head in the direction the red thread pointed.

3rd Floor. The thread was crawling toward his next-door neighbor’s house.

He even rubbed his head toward the crack in the door and went in there.

A white shirt on a skinny body. A small mocking smile appeared on the man’s face as he checked the bag behind his back and a revolver hanging from his waist.

“Hehe... I mean, there must be one everywhere. Fucking bastards who don’t know the other person and get beaten until they run after each other.”

“That doesn’t quite make sense.”

Lennok replied calmly.

“Wouldn’t that be suitable for an idiot who saw blood while doing a hack to open someone else’s house?”

“what?”

“You don’t seem to understand.”

Pajijijik...!!

Lennok laughed as he drew a blue electric current between his five fingers.

“That’s not what I want to hear from the thief.”

The face of the giant who confirmed the existence of obvious magic right in front of his eyes turned blue.

“Ahhhhh!!!”

A grotesque scream as the tongue goes numb fills the corridor where the studios are lined up.

“Jason!!”

“What the fuck is this!!”

“What kind of bastard is making this mess!”

Seeing the giants with rice cake sticks similar to the man rushing out of the studio room with him, Lennok let out a sigh.

Probably tonight. It seemed that he had something to do so that his neighbors could sleep peacefully.
