(No, I won't do that.) Quickly dismissing the idea, Aria chases after the young man, stifling the emotions that rise up if she's not careful.
--I'm not going to do that.
(......! (Collision--)
The young man must have been too late to notice.
The girl, too, seems to have no intention of avoiding him.
In fact, as if she wanted to stop the young man.
"Hmm, there are sneaks everywhere, aren't there? I am...
You're in danger, sir, if you stay here.
"You're in danger, you shouldn't be here.
At the moment of collision with the young man, it was Alta who rescued the girl.
Apparently, she had heard the voice. She may have been planning to catch him ahead of time, but she prioritized the girl's safety.
However, Aria soon noticed Arata's gaze.
She knew that Aria was chasing her and entrusted her to him.
(You mean you trust me? ...... Okay, I'll live up to that trust.
With a serious look on her face, Aria started running again.
She ran from roof to roof, gradually accelerating.
In the end, Aria jumped down to take the top of the young man who was running away towards the alleyway.
"What?
The young man shouted in surprise.
That's probably because Aria, a young girl of no more than a year, followed the young man across the roof without hesitation.
If she had fallen on the way, she would not have been injured. It was precisely because she was Aria that she was able to make such a move without hesitation.
She put her dagger to the young man's neck and announced.
"Leave your stuff. There's no point in trying to escape.
"What the hell is ......!
The young man asks in a frightened tone.
Aria giggled.
"Me? I'm--
Notria. It's been a long time.
What?
Aria heard a voice behind her, and turned around.
Both the voice and the figure were familiar to her.
The man who had shouted at her earlier when her case was stolen was here.
It was enough for Aria to understand that this situation was already unusual.
That case is mine. Well, you're really good. Notreya.
"...... who are you?
Who, who ......? Hmm, you don't recognize my face? Well, it's not me you're looking after, it's your brother or sister.
"--
Aria's eyes widened.
Aria's eyes widened and she muttered, as if she was trying to recall a memory from before.
