Feigning strength, I pretended not to notice my trembling hand. Soon he said with a bloody smile:
âNow, Iâm going to screw you.â
I stroked my neck with my hand.
âFollow me if you want to. Iâll take you somewhere special.â
I moved myself quickly.
âWhere are you going?â
âDistrict 2.â
It was a short walk from here.
If my place is where illegal small stores are gathered, I am currently going to the second district where a huge organization gathered, and among them, there are three men dressed in black, and I swallowed my breath.
âThose clothesâŚâ
The pattern at the end of the sleeves symbolize the âBlessing of the Shadowâ that has now been smeared.
âCaptain.â
âThatâs right. Take care of it.â
Like an assassin, the men didnât say anything unnecessary.
I bit my lips as I saw the glare of a blade in the moonlight.
Of course, it wasnât hard to deal with them.
ââŚâŚâŚI need to be as quiet as I can be.â
These Creixos back allies are intertwined like spider webs. However, the paths that can be traversed are limited.
I ran out of time. There was a high possibility that all the alleyway exits would be blocked.
âHuhâŚâ
I opened my eyes and shook my hand.
âCan you fight?â
I felt the menâs nervousness when the jewels shone in my hands.
No answer came from Heimdahl. I didnât ask any more and called out a little wind.
âViento!â
One of the disadvantages of my spell was that it was difficult to handle it quietly.
In the moment the men, pushed by the wind, covered their faces:
âMiss, put your head down!â
âWhat? Wait, ugh!â
When I turned my head I noticed the shadow of a human, who was passing by roughly.
Whoo!
Heimdahl was already pulling a sword from one person. He swung his arms quickly and made a half turn.
Flap.
An assassin was seen running away from the side.
Puk.
However, the man collapsed because he couldnât get far due to the dagger in his back.
Heimdahl stared at me, wiping off sweat drops with the back of his hand. He whispered, âNow, if you donât take responsibility for me, Iâll be in trouble, miss.â
Tuk tuk. A red blood drop fell from the tip of the knife.
Heimdahl has a noticeable white complexion.
However, he turned his head and looked at the enemy chillingly. His gaze seemed to be calculating every movement.
ââYouâre already doing that.â
This man is accompanying me only for survival and out of interest.
His scrutinizing, hawk-like eyes have been observing for a while. I wonder what he might be thinking with that extraordinary mind of his.
âIf you know, I want you to show more sincerity.â
Heimdahl was a madman stained in madness, but he was  a scary human being who was also rational and did not care about the means.
Itâs not as if I was being treated with my arms tied.
ââŚ.Walk fast. Weâre getting out of here.â (Syrinx)
As I walked past him, slow footsteps soon followed.
The jewel floating to the side proved to be on the guard for him without relaxing.
âThe number of jewels should be possible.â
The fatal disadvantage of my spell was that it was limited to the amount of jewelry I carried.
âThereâs no secret to casting spells.â
Fortunately, they didnât meet any more assassins after the three.
âItâs this way. Thatâs District 2.â (Syrinx)
After a while, we arrived at the center of District 2. As long as Iâm here, it was okay to be somewhat relaxed.
âItâs bright.â
It was the only street with street lights in Creixos Alley.
It is a place where people who obtain some money live in the back alley.
âHave we arrived?â
âA little further.â
Money meant power. Therefore, it was a place where those in power, who had the yolk in their hands, fiercely fought over the interests.
âYou can relax a little from here. Itâs relatively safe.â
âCriteria?â
âOf course compared to District 1 where we were.â
Of course, I shouldnât let go of my tension completely, but there was a reason to believe.
