“I think Mr. Ian is right. After all, he was the one who made the mistake.”
Even though Helena turned him into a monster… he was the one who killed people and bit the flesh of the dead, so he had to pay the price for his crimes.
“Bu…”
“Please understand, Ms. Priesia.”
When Nainiae asked Priesia to understand, she nodded helplessly and closed her eyes, putting her hands together to pray.
“Of course, Helena, that woman has to pay for her crimes too.”
Nainiae added to Priesia, who was praying, and looked at Ian.
“Then, I will go to the memorial. If I meet the other parts, I will join them and come back. Until then, about Ms. Priesia’s escort… please do that.”
“Don’t worry.”
“The man will wake up in an hour or so. It’s evening now, so maybe you could sleep and wake up in the morning.”
Nainiae continued as if she had finished preparing for teleportation.
“I will be right back.”
When the light flashed because of teleportation, and Nainiae’s vision returned to normal… She was standing near the memorial.
Let’s see…
Since she had put the invisibility magic on in advance, there was no one around to recognize her, who suddenly appeared near the memorial.
What about the trap?
Nainiae walked in front of the memorial and checked the trap she had set up. After confirming that someone had used mana in this area, she looked around.
Where is it? Which side did it come from?
Looking alternately at the direction the trap was pointing, which was the large building near and on the opposite side of the memorial, Nainiae looked at the building carefully.
Is it over there?
Nainiae, who found traces of someone climbing up the wall using mana, stopped while trying to follow the trace.
…hmm?
It was because of what she heard in her ears.
[There have been a number of murders in the central region. Those in the guided area, please beware of the women wearing the above description clothing. Anyone who finds them should call the police or the capability office as soon as possible…]
Nainiae turned her head and looked at the big screen on a building, then frowned when she found Iril and Sera on it.
Iril and Ms. Sera?
The screen changed, and Nainiae, who witnessed the scene when Iril stood on the memorial and gave a lengthy speech, put on an even more incomprehensible expression.
What on earth… happened in this short moment…
Nainiae, who could clearly notice that the other parts had passed near the memorial, hurriedly followed the traces left by the trap.
This stride… this is Ms. Sera’s stride.
Nainiae used floating magic to climb up the building, following the trail to the top of the building. Then she found traces of a fight on the rooftop here and there and sat down with one knee bent.
Bullets, black clothes, bloodstains…
Nainiae looked around the site that hadn’t yet been cleared. Then she sensed a sign of someone approaching this way and turned her head.
Someone’s coming?
After checking her invisibility magic, Nainiae hid her presence and moved to a blind spot on the rooftop, waiting for the main character to appear.
“Huu…”
Shortly thereafter, the closed rooftop door opened and a man in a suit appeared.
That man?
‘Lee Han-seong’, the man she met in front of the memorial in the afternoon and was said to be working at the capability office, appeared on the rooftop and was the main character whose presence she sensed.
“Why are the higher-ups making me do things when I don’t even know what the situation is? Confidentiality b*llsh*t, becoming a team leader only increases my chores… sh*t!”
Lee Han-seong, who had roughly messed his hair, looked around, picking up the black clothes that had been left on the rooftop.
“Even in this murder case, yes. I mean, something smells fishy. We’ve narrowed down all the criminals all night and the only thing we’ve to do is to catch them… then what happened all of a sudden? They threw two papers at me and said these two are the criminals? Ha! Really like a sh*t…”
Nainiae, who had been listening, muttered to herself with a subtle look on her face.
Is it rigged?
“Anyway, these b*st*rds have something to hide.”
Lee Han-seong, who grumbled while cleaning up the clothes, bloodstains, bullets, etc. left on the rooftop, finished roughly and checked the site for the last time… then he exited the rooftop through the door he had entered.
“…”
“Just you wait. I’ll dig.”
When the open rooftop door closed and silence came again, Nainiae, who had been hiding, came out.
“I guess there aren’t only people who have a good impression on Helena… This might be good to check.”
