Chapter 44: CH 44

Listen, Mei. Our first priority is to rescue Lily. We'll deal with the criminals later.

"Okay, ."

We came to the hideout of the crime organization where Lily was being held, and we hided  in the shadows to plan our strategy.

"Here's the plan. I'll get Lily take  out of   here  , and you take her and run to safe place . If you see anyone suspicious, fire back with a gun. It's better if you don't kill them, because   it will be possible to get more information   from them, but you can kill them if you want.  They are the people who kidnapped the duchess. They'll get the death penalty for impunity anyway.

"With  magic  gun  I  will fire ."

"It's will be good not to  cause any damage to people or houses. It's the middle of the night, so it's relatively safe.

"I'll leave that to you, . The accuracy is perfect."

"Excellent."

If I rescue Lily,  they will certainly notice me. So, before they can fight back,  I have to take them all out at once.

"...... Then let's start the  mission  ."

Mei and I jumped out of the shadows and ran to the hideout's gate. The bored-looking gatekeeper notices us and asks us who we are.

"Who the hell are you?" ......"

"I  hate it when people make noise.

If it was just me, Mei would still be here. Until we get Lilly out of here, we have to be covert.

"Just in case they're waiting for ,  us in trouble. ......

"'Sonar', 'wiretap'."

I' m going to use the two magics to find out if there are any hidden enemies. This is because in this world, there are people who can use sonar-breaking "stealth" and "silence" magic. Sonar-breaking is a magic that prevents the other party from detecting your presence, like a stealth  device . It hides your presence by absorbing the magic waves of detection emitted by your opponent, or by bouncing them back in a completely different direction. Silence also blocks the flow of air around you so that no sound is transmitted.

These two magics were said to be  ver important for a assassins .

"......, but there aren't many people who can use that kind of advanced magic.

Unlike "sonar," which is a C-rank non-attribute magic, "stealth" is an A-rank non-attribute magic. It's also a B-rank non-attribute magic. In the  case if person an assassin who is highly skilled in both,  he don't have to go against the laws to get hired by a legitimate organization like the military at an exceptional rate. There was no need for this kind of banditry.

"...... Okay, there's no reactions .

After confirming that there were no ambusher, I opened the gate and ran to the warehouse-type  building where Lily was being held.

"Lily, I'm here to  save you ."

"Hal......!

Lily looks at me with tears in her eyes from other side of  the bars.

"It's okay. Just stay away from the door."

"All right.

After confirming that Lily is away from the door, I unleash a shockwave that break through the door.

The door blew inward with a loud  sound .

"Lily!"

"Hal-kun!"

Lily jumps out from  the place and hugs me. It seems that she is not chained up or anything.

"Let's hurry and get to safe place ."

"Uh-huh."

Perhaps sensing something unusual,   from the inside of the building  that was near by  suddenly became noisy. It's a good chance to escape while no one has come out yet.

"This way!"

Mei  was waving at us from a distant corner. 

"I'm sure you have a  lot of thing to say , but for now I'd appreciate it if you'd just shut up and follow me."

By the way, Lily and Mei have always seen each other as enemies . But not in that case . 

We're going to the  tower where we can see the whole town, so it's the best place for us to go.

"I see, you've thought of that."

From the high bell tower, we can shoot the enemy from a distance. If  thay try to climb up from the bottom, the enemy will not be able to get close to  us once the stairs are blocked. It won't be suitable for a long-term battle, but  we don't have to worry about that, because I'll come running as soon as I've destroyed the enemy.

"How do we get up there?　I thought the stairs were locked."

"Here  we go "

Meii  took out a key.

"It's the key.

"Why didn't you take it out earlier?"

If you'd told me, I wouldn't have had to climb up the wall.

" Hal climbed up before I could say anything. ......"

When she said that, I couldn't argue with her. I mean, six-year-olds don't usually have a key. There was no way I could have predicted that.

"Oh, Mei   it's  not normal. ......"

In the meantime, I heard a loud voice coming from the hiding place. It seems that we have been noticed.

"I'm  coming ."

"Uh-huh."

Mei  pulled Lily along with her, whether she liked it or not.

"I'm sorry.

"Sorry for what?

"For calling you a dumb cat.

Don't worry about it. Hurry up, or you'll get caught again."

"Thank you, .......""

It seems that the  conflict has been resolved.

"Lily, where are your guards and servants ?

" Hal, I was wondering if you could help them out too.

"All right. I'll help them, too.

The more you help them, the more layers of protection you'll have over Lily.

"Well, then I'm going to punish them for their hubris. ......

"I'm going to make them pay for everything they had done l!"

"Hal.

"What?

"...... please."

"I got it."

I watched as the two of them made their way to  safe place  towards the Shrine, and then  headed to the hideout of the crime organization . It's  wil be  bloodbath tonight. No one will escape alive .
