Umarekawatta “Kensei” Wa Raku o Shitai

Away from Illis and Alta, Aria was on her way to the market by herself.

Wangdu's markets are held everywhere, with stores lined up dealing with fruits, groceries, etc.

The Sabbath was particularly characterised by a large number of people.

People are getting more and more, but Aria doesn't mind moving on.

(... I wonder what I want to do)

- Aria didn't know exactly how she felt.

I care about Iris as a family.

So even if Illis had a crush on Alta, as an aria, it should be something to support.

Yet when I try to get Iris and Alta to act together, I feel uncomfortable.

I'm sure Iris trusts him.

But Aria doesn't have that feeling - her strength is certain, but she wasn't that reliable opponent.

That's why Aria always acts from herself.

Even his opponents, known as the Swordsmen, were not afraid of anything.

Because with that much opponent, Aria thought she could win.

In fact, it was a boy named Alta, not Aria, who defended Illis.

……

Pittari and Aria stop.

(I 'm-)

It was then.

At the edge of his gaze, he captures a young man in odd motion.

Look at the case placed on the ground and see the man near it.

The man was obsessed with talking to the store owner and didn't seem to notice the young man's movements.

With a moment's gap, the youth moves out. Holding the case in his hand, he rushed out into the crowd in a familiar move.

(! Thief...)

Aria also moved quickly.

Before the man realizes it, Aria also goes through the crowd in an out-of-popularity move.

Then - a man's voice sounds from the rear.

"Duh, a thief! Somebody get me!

The man probably doesn't even know exactly where the young man who stole the case went.

So first I realized there was no case and screamed.

But the youth is already far from the man.

(But I won't let you get away with it)

It was Aria who noticed the youth as quickly as possible.

In a handsome move, Aria runs through the crowd.

Travel through the crotch of a big man carrying a big bag and jump over a pair of triplets with kids.

On the way, jumping on a street-carriage, he uses it to convey the roof of the store and further to the roof of the building.

Keep following with your eyes the movements of the young man who stole the case.

Do youths also realize - they show tricks that make you look more like Aria?

(I wonder if they're quite used to that over there. But you can't run from me. Because -)

Aria opens her eyes.

No matter how far away you are, Aria never misses a youth.

From here on out - throw a short knife and you can also tailor the youth.

(... Oh, no. I will not do that)

Immediately, deny the idea.

Pushing and killing emotions that boil when caught off guard, Aria follows the youth.

- Ahead of the fleeing youth, there was a figure of one girl.

…… bump -)

I guess the youth have also lagged behind in noticing.

The girl also doesn't seem to be going to avoid it.

Rather, as if you are also willing to stop the youth,

"Huh, everywhere there is such a thing as Kosovo mud. This is me."

"It's dangerous, if you stay here"

――

It was Alta who helped the girl out the moment she bumped into the youth.

Apparently, he was listening to his voice earlier. Maybe we were going to get ahead of ourselves and catch him, but I guess we gave priority to the girl.

But Aria soon notices Alta's gaze, too.

I entrusted Aria with knowing she was chasing me.

(You mean I trust you?... Fine, I'll live up to that trust)

With a serious look, Aria rushes out again.

It passes from roof to roof and gradually accelerates.

Eventually, Aria jumped down, as she took over the young man who fled to the alley.

"Become -"

A young man shouts his surprise.

That would be true - because Aria, a girl who is not even old enough, hasn't lost her way through the roof and chased her to the youth.

I'm not hurt if I fall along the way. It's Aria, so I can say I could move like that without getting lost.

Pitali, and a short knife on the young man's neck, declare.

"Put your stuff away. No use trying to escape."

"Oh, hey, what the...!

The young man asks in a frightened manner.

Aria smiled,

"Me? I..."

"Nortria, it is. Long time no see."

"Huh!?

I hear voices from behind me, Aria looks back.

The voice and its appearance were familiar.

The man who raised his voice after the case was stolen is here.

It was enough to understand that this situation was already an anomaly for Aria.

"The case is mine. Hey, you're really good. Nortoria."

"... you, who?

"Who, who... Hmm, don't you recognize me in my face? Well, it wasn't me who looked after him, it was your brother and sister."

――

Aria opened her eyes.

Aria shrugs, as if to evoke previous memories.

"First, raw...?

Hearing Aria's words, the man grinned.
