41 Episode 07: Escort Begins

Enter the alley and remove the black cloth from your pocket.

When magic flowed through the cloth, the volume swelled and turned into a lacquered black coat.

It's called miniaturization. Among magic fixtures, they are often incorporated into what they frequently carry. Most importantly, because of the considerable amount of money involved in incorporating this function, it could not be said that the technology is still widespread in the general society. This is a borrowing from the Bureau.

In the True Soldier Secret Service, the technique of miniaturization developed considerably in the course of weapons development. Our engineers preferred miniaturized equipment. Miniaturization turns every weapon into a dark vessel. Especially for soldiers like me, mostly assassinations and ambushes.

My partner, BF28 Black Feather Too Eight, is one of the weapons that incorporates miniaturization. Now it was a black bracelet, worn on my left wrist.

I hid myself in my jacket, and I moved quickly.

If possible, I want to do something before Mize comes out of the dorm.

Coffee shop still before opening. After school, students are crowded in the back of the store.

There - a man dressed like me, lurking.

Speak from behind a man.

"What are you doing early this morning?

"Nah!?

A man wearing a reddish brown coat leaked his amazement.

When a man sees me, he rushes to remove an elongated blade from his nose.

I took out the weapon - confirmed.

He's the enemy.

"- It's late"

Point your index finger at the man's arm and release the Demon Bullet.

The bullet pierced the arm holding the blade.

Dive into the groaning man's nose and pound a spinning kick into its abdomen.

The man, slapped against the wall from his back, butted to the ground without screaming.

At the same time as you breathe out, the 'communication paper' that was in your pocket vibrates.

While I was keeping my guard up, I got a comm.

"Is that Chris?

'Yeah. I'll pass it on because I've got information in. A suspicious figure ant near a student dorm. I think they're putting up a school route.'

"That was a little late. I just knocked him out."

"Boulder, you're handy."

Speaking of covert assignments, there is some more backup than the Bureau has officially taken on the job.

This feeling, which moves as the end of the tissue, is long.

"Just in case, you can kill me, right?

I asked, looking at the man holding his belly in agony.

If we let him get away, we'll expose the existence of the escort.

It is difficult to pierce boulders through indestructibility while maintaining covert action.

"Yeah. Don't hesitate to kill me."

Copy that.

Point your index finger at the man's head and release the Demon Bullet.

Short, pale sounds and at the same time the man ended his life.

'Cause I'll end it this way. Just a minimal camouflage.'

That's what I said, Chris cut off communication.

Take the reddish brown coat and spread it with both hands. And I put it on the body in front of me.

It is truly a minimal camouflage.

If you don't finish it early, you're going to get in trouble.

- No other enemies lurk.

Was it only for the purpose of seeing how things were going today, and there were no other signs of enemies besides the man earlier?

Take off your black coat and put it back into a small piece of cloth by passing magic through it again.

Then, it was all two hours later.

Mize came out of the girls' dorm.

"That, Mr. Tweet?

Mize slightly rounds her eyes when she sees me.

"Morning, Mize"

"Yes, good morning. This is the first time we've been together."

"The road from the men's dorm to the school is next door. I wanted to change my mind a little bit today, so I decided to take this road."

"Oh, I know a little bit about that feeling. It's nice to take a walk in the morning."

Mize smiles and says.

With that said, why was Gran running in front of the girls' dorm?

Well, nothing, I don't care.

"Is Mize always going to school early this morning?

I still have more than half an hour to go to class, I have time.

You'll be free to head to the classroom now.

"Mostly always, this is about the time. I don't like sleeping."

"What are you doing all the way to class?

"We review textbooks in the classroom, and occasionally stop by the practice area to practice magic,"

"You're diligent. I didn't know."

Mize smiles a little shy.

I feel like Mize was always ahead of me when I walked into the classroom.

Early school attendance, however, is not preferable from the point of view of escorts.

Even though it's a five-minute walk from the dorm to the school, it's dangerous to walk at this time of year when there are few people on the street.

You should go to school with me until things are done.

I went to school with Mize as I worked out my plans for the future in my head.
