Chapter 2: The appearance of a butterfly
He gazed down at the street that he didn't know The layout of this city was different fros randomly stretched to the outskirt of the city From the layout revealed a city occupied by humans Only half-assed people could make such a half-assed city
An Academy City Only less capable Military Artists were allowed to leave their horowth
”How refreshi+ng Ho ho, that is aat the unfa All of the buildings in this area were built quite low The best place to observe the city was the top of the building in theof which, er brother, Gorneo Luckens, was in Savaris' next destination – Zuellni Savaris had used this to back his reasoning for the Queen to send hiotten it while he was riding the roarow into an adult, but he didn't like his home city”
His expression lacked worry When he becaave up his identity and responsibility as an older brother and turned to the path of er He was the older brother but he lacked the authority to care for his younger sibling This cold athts on his brother, Savaris turned his attention to observing the streets of Myath
”I heard other cities are more peaceful, but that doesn't seem to be the case”
The atmosphere here didn't match the streets Palpable disquiet hid within the silence Whether it was in this city or in the city he was about to arrive at, Zuellni, Savaris felt the sa He was a Heaven's Blade successor, one of the twelve strongest people in Grendan Originally, no Heaven's Blades were allowed to leave Grendan as they existed to protect the city, but Savaris had accepted the Queen's order to retrieve the Haikizoku fro had left Grendan for a long tiht the information to the Queen that there was a Haikizoku in Zuellni And Gorneo was the one who asked the Mercenary Gang to take this information back to Grendan
”The madness of an Electronic Fairy that had lost its city can bestow upon a Military Artist great power”
Savaris was interested in this point, in beco as a Heaven's Blade successor, he hi unusual Savaris did not have the sense of th in fights against filth th Trial, training, practice He continued to train hi else The existence of a Haikizoku could beco, and that suited his appetite That hy he left Grendan Originally, he wouldn't have bothered even if such strength existed However, Savaris couldn't ignore its existence because of the present ranking of power in Grendan
”But I really want to give it a try”
Could he really just borrow that strength
”Really worth anticipating, geez” He thought of that day co and his shoulders shook But there was a problem he must first solve
”So troublesome”
The City Police of Myath had forbidden anyone fro the facilities Savaris wasn't allowed to be here, but the City Police didn't have enough people to monitor everyone's movement Even so, it wasn't impossible to tour the City in a relaxed ht, he just never paid attention to the youngsters in the City Police They were only terrified under what they thought were dangerous circu held no value for hi must have happened For exampleHe turned around and saw it
”So troubleso”
Directly in his line of sight was a huge pillar, one of the city's legs
”You can't cover up that sound”
As he gazed at the city's leg, he departed fro around It was almost time for the City Police's patrol to come around
Two days had passed since then Leerin's anger remained with her The situation hadn't turned in her favor, and that hed and threw her pillow She had gone to have breakfast at the appointed hour, returned to her room after that, was never allowed to leave her roo But since she was an outsider in this city, she had no choice but to bear with the situation Still, knowing she had no choice did nothing to stop anger fro asked about the current situation, she returned angrily to her rooe She had washed her dirty clothes and put the The first day flew by her quickly The second day however, went by slower She had already finished reading the books she brought with her during the trip in the roa them would just remind her of the time Roy took away the Dite Unable to concentrate, Leerin didn't do anything, but couldn't leave the room She was so bored and listless that she wouldn't even turn on the bed
”Ha” she could only keep sighing
Why was she so out of luckShe could do nothing but sigh Sighing took her nowhere Without food, people would look for seeds and plant theo look for work Because of that, the orphanage ed to survive
”Should I find a way?”
About the Dite Forget ould happen She first needed to calht if she went to steal back the Dite The act would ood use of the time she had
”Too reckless”
She made an immediate decision First, she wasn't sure what the situation was about The City Police said so by the high level of tension of the City Police, there was more to the storyIt was an atmosphere that suited that type of event
”What is it? What's been stolen? That they're so agitated like this?”
Information was important to a city All sorts of new research, new inventions, discoveries in a cityThey were essential to allow a city to function more efficiently Because of the way a city operated, it was ie trades ofof numerous humans would lure in filth monsters Hence, most trade between cities was of infor of alloys, but most trades were infors in inforht information from other cities back to their home cities for profit As such, information meant a lot to cities and certain rich people But just as it that wasthe City Police so tense?
”U about a information thief is itself a lie”
If it wasn't information, then
”Could it be a weapon?”
If it was a dangerous weapon like poisonous gas, the problem would be different Other cities would probably destroy Myath if infor poison had leaked outside If not, at least Grendan would take action This ritten as law But poorinto the air of the city itself and destroying it An Academy City probably wouldn't do that
”So that can't be it”
If it eapon, the leaking of the infore problems, but that shouldn't be the case Leerintoo many movies Her deduction really suited a civilian who didn't have the strength of a Military Artist
Encountering this unexpected event right after she arrived at Myath made her unable to sleep She headed for the canteen for lunch
”Aa, you look horrible,” Savaris said
Leerin wiped her face ”I don't knohy butI can't sleep”
Being half-asleep really was bad for her Her wavering consciousness had pulled her to the canteen
”That won't do Is it because of the change in environht be the change in ti the buffet lunch Numerous dishes were laid out on the table
”So much food I can eat a lot”
He differed from Leerin who had had little food She drank soood to keep son soil”
”That's true, but” Still, she'd never be able to eat as et fat But she really did eat too little Thinking of her amount of exercise, she filled her plate
”That aside, how onna be?”
Leerin sipped her tea and observed the canteen after lunch Only the people living here and the City Police were in the room The chefs had put down the food in the facility and left People who came in late could only eat froht now, but that was enough for Leerin
Roy was one of the Policeto other people and giving them orders It was a matter of fact for soive off the air of a captain
”We'll probably have to wait till the criht”
”I want to knohen the criht”
Leerin turned her eyes to Savaris They never hadbus hadto the Heaven's Blade successor
”Even I have once cooperated with the City Police, so I' now,” he said and blew at the stea from the tea cup He took a sip It appeared he didn't like the tea to be too hot
”Usually, only outsiders would steal inforroup in the city wouldn't steal things the neays to make the city more prosperous So the criminal must be someone from here”
”I understand that point but” That hy the facility where Leerin and the other passengers stayed at was being monitored
”But, probablyThis event is different They checked the luggage of everyone The criht not be here”
”Then”
”Or the infor for isn't in a data chip In that case, the proble they know some information is stolen but they don't knohat it is That's why they're worried That's the feeling I get”
”Is that it?”
”What would it be?” Savaris answered in a relaxed manner His answer confounded her The City Police had even taken away his Dite, but he didn't look troubled at all
”Either way, I hope they can resolve this situation soon If this continues, webus”
The bus that ca drained the cup, Leerin stood up She didn't really want to drink any more tea, but she refilled her cup Since the City Police would take her back to the rooht as well sit here for a while more and enjoy the atirl's
That girl was standing in front of the table of food
(What is it?)
The girl was looking around with a troubled expression Does she not know this is a buffet? Leerin approached the girl She did it because the girl was about the saers were adults, and the youngest was about Savaris's age
”Can I help you?”
The girl looked shocked and turned to her
”Ah, nothing”
Quite a toolden hair and a neat countenance
”Knives and forks are over there”
”I see Sorry Thanks,” the girl headed for the utensils
”You're close If you had come later, lunch hour would have ended”
”Is that so?”
As the eating utensils were placed near the drinking area, Leerin followed the girl
”Thanks very reat help I'm Nina Antalk You?”
”Huh?”
”What is it?”
”Ah, umsorry Uh, I'm Leerin Marfes Please look after ed when she heard that name
”What is it?”
”No Could it beBut, totally different No, even so”
”Uh?”
”Ah, sorry It's my own problem”
”Really?”
”Yeah”
The two of thehed
”If it's ok, can I take that empty seat? I want to find someone to chat with”
”Sure”
Leerin returned to her seat A strange expression crossed Savaris's face
”Leerin-san, when did that person appear?”
”Huh?”
She looked back Savaris atching Nina
”Just then?”
”No, I didn't mean that,” he said with his chin in his palm ”She appeared the moment you stood over there”
”Did you oversleep?” she said without thinking, but Savaris didn't seeaze, so different from usual, stared at Nina Leerin held her breath The tension between her and Savaris beca to happen, Savaris turned back to his normal self and smiled
”Haha, please don't worry”
”Don't scarein that one swift second
”I' htly and left
”What the” She drank to calm herself
Nina came over ”Your friend left Is that ok?”
It seemed she was concerned with Savaris She probably took note of his action
