Vol 1 Chapter 2 (2/2)
But——
The reflection in the carcloser
It wasn’t a technical probleines
“No, we can’t go any faster!”
“……Forget it! We’ll just have to fight back!”
“Ah!”
Millie desperately screamed as bullets flew overhead
They were being pursued by floating vehicles, it was a specific type that was powered by electricity It affected their aiood their ai was it would be difficult to fire an accurate shot
“How are you going to fight theun?”
“No, but I’ve thought of so”
Kane said as he took out his lightsabre, he then began cutting the passenger’s seat door
Rattle! Rattle!
After a loud thud, the car door ca the one of the cars
“My goodness! You used the car door against them!”
“Ah ha ha ha! At least it stopped one of them!”
Millie couldn’t help but feel angry
“Didn’t you hear me, this is a rental car!”
“So, it’s not like it’s worth much”
“You better be paying for the daes”
“Oh, please”
“……Argh……”
She stepped on the accelerator with tears in her eyes
Although it wasn’t obvious to the
Kane thought for a moment
“……It doesn’t make sense to use the back seats However, I could use the trunk against them”
“——H-Hey, stop! Please!”
Millie cried out
Kane ignored her pleas and began to cut off the trunk
The driver tried to avoid the impact but was struck dead centre
“——Bullseye! Hopefully he’ll die in a fiery inferno”
“asshole!”
She shouted from the bottom of her heart
It was very dark, the scene shi+fted to a large room
Painted on the floor was a huge inverse pentagram
In the centre of the room was a mysterious man
Albert Von Stargazer
The leader of the galaxy’s largest crihtmare
He stood in silence in the ht
It was al
His white hair was like a silver flame He had a lean face which was ree black cloak
It was an ancient sorcerers dress
“Stargazer”
He didn’t knohere the voice came from, he slowly opened his eyes
“Come”
His words reacted with the door, which made no sound as it opened
A man dressed in black entered
“We are now planning an invasion against systes……”
The man said as he stood near the entrance, his voice trembled a little as he spoke
“We pulled sos inside the interstellar police and have caused soole Connection”
“And?”
His expression didn’t change
“According to the staff report, they would seereat deal of trouble if they tried to topple them We have the opportunity to either support or destroy one side”
No h to push the balance in anyone’s favour without getting directly involved
“Is there any infor to that trouble contractor?”
“Yes, here it is”
The azer
He handed hiardless of how much his hand shook
Then he went back to the door, the man in black couldn’t help but shed a cold sweat
Every single time
Every tie type of pressure came over him
Nor
If this ht describe it as——miasma
The old an to turn over the report
“——Is the content of this report correct?”
“Yes, five pirate shi+ps were sunk by……”
The old h tone
“The Sword Breaker, I’ve had my eye on this spaceshi+p and its central control system……”
“You are referring to Canal Volfield”
“Obviously”
The old man whispered
The man in black couldn’t help but flinch
Not because he was shocked, but because the miasma in the room had become more intense
“What are the energy supply levels on docks 1-5?”
Although the topic of conversation had changed, the man in black didn’t panic
“They haven’t changed e around thirty percent Dock is at thirty seven percent though”
He replied
After a azer slowly spoke
“——Open the doors to dock number two”
“Yes, sir I’ll hand the orders down personally”
He then saluted Stargazer
“——Is there anything I should know?”
He reluctantly asked
“It’s a spaceshi+p”
Stargazer said in an emotionless voice
“Who’s the pilot?”
“A pilot isn’t necessary”
When travelling through outer space, a human spirit is necessary
If no one was aboard the shi+p, then it would be iation
He knew better than to ask any more questions
“Understood But what about the Dugole Connection?”
“Use your contact in the Interstellar Police to apply pressure on them, eventually it will escalate and they will be forced to intervene Then we’ll force them into submission”
“Understood”
He saluted and left the room
Stargazer was left alone once more
“This htmare will spread across the universe……”
Millie walked alone in the night, neon lights lighted up the area
The night as cold, very cold
Regardless of how ain the rental car was, she didn’t have the es
She had to contact the Director of her departet the necessary funds, but this resulted in a pay cut as punishment
For a new recruit on the job for less than a year, it was a hty blow
“Helping that guy was a mistake……he walks around in the street with a cape of all things, I should have kneas trouble“
Millie said, but she needed his help to find Clay because her Director kept telling her to hurry up and find him
If her information is correct, he should be in this bar
The place was noisy and full of smoke, a drunken man approached her
“Yo, foxy lady How you doin’?
She ignored hi to find Clay
“He’s not here, right?”
“He’s here alright”
“You are……”
It was thefor——Clay Roberts
“Why do you want to help me?”
“——It doesn’t matter”
Clay said, he then waved over the bartender and ordered some cocktails
He gave one to Millie
“Because……I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I just let you disappear”
“Is that right?”
Clay said, as he sipped her cocktail
“Anyway, how can we bring you back home? You’re not interested in your father’s cause, you just want to escape froet both of you to come to terms with one another?”
Millie stopped preaching
“Although, I think itson to return home”
Clay said in a sombre tone
For a while they were silent, both of thelasses
“I’ve…thought about it a lot”
He whispered, then fell silent
Mille wasn’t in a hurry to ask
“——I”
“——Your ideals are simply irrelevant”
A voice came suddenly from the side
(——crap!)
Millie instantly stood up
They hadn’t realized it, but they were surrounded by five or six men
Although Millie didn’t know, one of the men was Zenan
“I’d like to hear more from this lady”
Zenan srab Millie
“……Wait a second! You ?!”
Clay revealed a look of desperation, however he didn’t have the courage to help
Millie was pulled out of the bar, eventually she was taken to an underground parking lot
The lights of a car lit up the parking lot, she was being held down on the car
“Where is Kane?”
“I don’t know”
Each time Zenan asked, Millie let out a cry
“You are his associate! What are night?”
“Nightmare……I’m not……”
“This isn’t working”
Zenan coldly looked at her
“If you won’t give me the answer, then I’ll have to force it out of you How does 15 volts sound?”
One of the men revealed a wicked smile, as he moved close to Millie
“Wait! Wait! Ah!”
Her voice was strained
“I’m just a detective! I was co him back!”
The man slowly climbed on top of her
“I called Kane and night to do with this!”
The rabbed Millie’s’ clothes
“I have proof! Please, listen to me!”
“…Proof?”
Zenan whispered, and then the man stopped in his tracks
“——Well, we’ll see about that”
As he spoke, the ot off of Millie
However, the crisis wasn’t over, she was still strapped to the car
“Well, where’s this proof?”
“There’s proof that I’m a detective in my wallet”
“You do realize people can fake that kind of stuff”
Millie went silent
“……Well, you can call the detective agency and give them my number”
“Hmm……”
Zenan thought for a moment
“Okay, but you’ll be doing a video call——there’s a device in the car”
The car was equipped with a small video camera
“No funny business, or you’ll get it”
Millie started dialling the agency
Although her hands were free, she had a gun pointed at her back
Even if she had an opportunity to escape, the odds of her escaping alive were very low
After a considerable aency finally picked up
A woman appeared on the video screen
“Hi, Cynthia”
“Millie? What’s wrong? Your calling of a sudden, is it about the case?”
“Yeah, but first I’ve got to speak to the director”
“Understood”
A moment passed
Then a silver haired ed man appeared on the screen
“What is it this time, Millie?”
“You don’t want ht?”
Thelike expression
“Get to the point!”
“Re back Clay Roberts to his father on Mars?”
The director frowned He then carefully looked at Millie’s face
“Have you lost the relevant information?”
“No, I still have it”
The man behind Millie suddenly pushed her out of the way
“Who is that man?”
“Well……”
Millie pondered for a moment
“He’s a anization”
“What?”
“Ah, you see I aanization that does odd jobs We suspect this woanization”
“And?”
The director said in a rude manner
“They ondering if you could verify my identity as a detective”
“Can’t you do anything right? Since you can’t nain”
“No, wait!”
“Goodbye, Miss Millennium Feria Nocturne”
The connection on the other side was cut
Millie was speechless
“……Ahhhhhhh!!!”
Screams could clearly be heard in the vehicle
“My life! My new life! I haven’t paid off that five month loan on my VCD machine yet!”
“……This woman is still worried about her loan……”
Millie couldn’t help but shed tears
“It’s clear that she’s not frohtmare”
“Mr Zenan, what do we do with her?”
One runtled voice
“The director saw my face If this woman’s corpse is found, naturally the first suspect will be me”
Zenan sighed
“I guess we’ll have to do this the hard way Whether you are fro your body into a bathtub full of dissolution acid should do the trick, there won’t be anything left of you to find”
“No!”
“——Get her!”
Whack, Millie hit one of the men and tried to make a break for it
However, Zenan’sin on her
“Stop……please!”
One grabbed Millie by the wrist, it was impossible for her to resist
Whoosh!+
Then suddenly——a beaht flew out of the darkness and struck the hand hold Millie, she was free
“Run for it!”
By the time the voice reached Zenan, it was too late
At that very ht shone in the darkness
“Ahh…”
“Ohh…”
Two of Zenan’s goons fell to the ground, both of the
“——nobody move!”
The voice came from the darkness
“It’s that guy……”
Zenan whispered
“Move and you get shot!”
Millie didn’t understand as happening
Then——
Out of the darkness appeared Kane, with his cape and lightsabre in tow
“Millie, you okay?”
“——Yes, thank you”
“I knohere you’re hiding, Zenan!”
Kane ly
“We’ll get in the car and go”
He said, while watching for any signs of movement
Zenan was in no hurry to attack
He had seen what Kane did to his men
From the way he had shot at his men’s joints, he could easily tell that Kane was a skilled shooter
If he casually walked out from behind the stone pillar, death was certain But if he could use the other ht have a chance to move
Just as Zenan had been thinking about what to do, he hear a car driving away
“damn!”
Hi men rushed out from behind the pillars
“Mr Zenan……”
He ignored his ht towards the car
Running past the injuredlot entrance
“shi+t!”
Zenan shouted
But——
After a moment of silence, he smiled
“……Well, this isn’t over one bit……”
“You saved me, thanks a lot”
Millie said, as she sat in the passenger seat
“We’re not friends anyway, so I don’t owe you a favour”
“Why do you say that?”
Kane revealed an unhappy look
“Don’t be so narrow-minded Men, they should be more open-minded”
“All in all, you only escaped because of me If I was narrow-minded I wouldn’t have saved you”
Millie ignored the irony of his words
“So! You were the one who got me into this mess”
“And you were the one who told et into the car!”
“You argue like a child”
“Just shut up, where do you want me to take you? To your hotel or to Clay?”
“……I just re……”
Millie quietly murmured
“……What is it?”
“……The detective agency I worked for fired me……”
“damn Why were you fired?”
“The director scoldedable to find Clay, he said not to phone back”
“Well, that sucks”
“……What will I do now?”
Millie though about what to do Meanwhile Kane kept driving on the road, ever watchful for signs of so them
