Finally, after several ate of Muni entered Dusk Rose’s line of sightFinally

All he had to do was pass the gates, and Rrodafor hie

He was now close enough towent awry This ood as coilance in the slightest The only thing he did relax, was his face, which bloomed with a satisfied s Because, a second later, a redheaded elibu girl landed in front of hi in his direction However, he wasn’t alar towards the exit It was only natural that people would go to and froh his mission report stated he should be wary of Elaru Wayvin, a potential Shadow, since she was an elibu, Dusk Rose, ic Therefore they couldn’t fly

Dusk Rose halted his steps His expression still stayed friendly and duilant, ready for anything Hisher aura for any changes Her aura was extre the densest auras he had ever felt

Experience told him that she was a person that shouldn’t be underestins of hostility or suspicion, he would act iirl landed in front of hiel slu?! Are you alright??” Surprise and worry could clearly be felt in her melodious voice

When Kiel Rroda didn’t answer, her eyes moved away fro ability on full display and scratched his head sheepishly “Uh? You two know each other?”

The redhead smiled softly and nodded “Yeah We are close friends And you are?”

Kiel’s right arm was draped over Dusk’s shoulders, held in place by Dusk’s right hand Moo of Kiel’s hand and offered his hand to Elaru, sroup My nah Dusk outwardly looked relaxed, he was closely ure out that soht? Would she shake his hand?

Most people would have no chance of noticing the poison People e s suspicious in a handshake In all his years of work, not one of his targets ever discovered One-Touch Knock-Out

The only ones that had a chance of discovering it were those like him, ell versed in poison

This handshake was both a preemptive strike and a test If she refused to shake his hand, that would mean that she was indeed a Shadow that he should be wary of However, if she took it, the matter would be settled

At that point, it wouldn’t matter whether she was a Shadow or not, she would succumb to the poison like everyone else

This

She shook it

She shook it without hesitation

Only then did Dusk’s tiain

“Elaru Wayvin” She introduced herself “So, what happened?”

Dusk Rose found it especially hard to conceal his glee Considering the thick layer of poison he coated his hand in a few ood amount of it should have still reh to deal with the redheaded beauty

His ed to capture Elaru Wayvin as well, that would bring hiht, Dusk Rose intended to complete the main part of the mission first and then look for the redhead later But since she so conveniently delivered herself right to him, Dusk was ecstatic

Opposed to what he was actually feeling, Dusk’s face turned worried as he explained “I don’t know One second he was alright, and the next he suddenly lost his balance He is burning up, so I think he caught a cold or so him to the infirmary The healers should knohat to do”

Elaru Wayvin nodded “Good thinking” Then she smirked and pointed towards the direction Dusk just ca way The infirmary is that way”

Dusk’s heart skipped a beat

Of course she would notice that he wasn’t going towards the infirmary!

Dusk froze only for an instant before his quick mind came up with an appropriate response

He facepalhed aardly “I’ot to ask where the infirmary was!”

Even as the words left his mouth, he lamented No ould anyone believe such a fli so well! Now she would become suspicious Not to mention how troublesome it would be if she made a scene

However, unlike what Dusk expected, Elaru’s aura showed no hostility or suspicion In fact, she looked at hily “Don’t beat yourself up about it I understand If it were et that I don’t knoay around Muni”

Seriously?!? Dusk stared at Elaru Wayvin wide-eyed for several seconds before he snapped back to his senses and put on a goofy s the way?”

“Of course not Let’s take hi Dusk dazzled for a second even though he didn’t like girls That split second of stun was enough for Elaru to step closer to Dusk and grab Kiel’s left arm “Here Let me help you out”

Before Dusk could protest, she cast a sustained Acceleration spell on Kiel Rroda which nullified the effects of gravity, and e Armor dissipated as soon as he turned unconscious, she didn’t have any trouble targeting him with her spells

Dusk sed down the complaints and instead inspected Elaru Wayvin It wasn’t necessarily a bad idea to let her ‘carry’ hi Kiel up impaired his es in circumstances
