Swordmaster of the Red Light District

Perfect Crime (1)

“I have something to discuss.”

When Rey opened his mouth, Jimmy grabbed him from the back of his neck.

Rey asked with a brazen face at the reaction mixed with neuroses.

“I didn’t even bring up the topic, so why are you overreacting?”

“Wait. I’ll come take some digestive medicine.”

While Jimmy went to pick up the fire extinguisher, Rey released his sword from his waist and set it on the table. It was a sword with the seal of Count Phillips.

When Matthew looked at the sword with a look of envy, Ray smiled broadly and held out the sword.

“Matthew, can you keep this for a few days? It’s okay to use it a few times secretly when you’re training.”

“Oh, are you really okay with that…?”

Matthew, who had his eyes turned to the sword for a moment, regained his sanity.

Do you dare entrust the sword with the Phillips family crest to someone else?

It was like a declaration that he was going to have an accident.

Embarrassed, Matthew followed Jimmy away to find an extinguishing agent.

After a while, Jimmy and Matthew returned, and narrowed their eyes fiercely at Ray.

“So, what is it?”

“Is the Georgia family the most powerful organization in the Viscount Gadi?”

“I think the Dinar region is holding tight.”

That was the word.

“When did Georgia grow so big?”

“Originally, the power was great, but it took only a few months to completely take control of the area. Including that, the lord’s order is a bit confusing. there’s this.”

Rey opened her mouth after contemplating.

“You know Luna? The blue-haired girl.”

“I know you well. You seem smart.”

“It’s a problem because you’re too smart. Whoa… Jimmy, Matthew, listen carefully. The story you’re talking about from now on must never leak outside.”

“Stop the weight and talk.”

“Luna… I think she was born with the qualities of an archmage.”

“…”

Jimmy, who had been silent for a moment, raised two fingers, smirking.

“Lay.”

“yes.”

“No matter how, no matter how stupid a con artist.”

“?”

“You don’t cheat twice on the same opponent.”

Rey drew his sword with an absurd face and created a sword.

“No, when did I cheat? Are you going to become a sword master?”

Although the karate vote was sprinkled, the declaration of the youngest Sword Master nominee at the time of the 9-year-old swordsman selection was never lacking in credibility.

As Rey seemed to express his injustice, he sat down and swung his sword, Jimmy exclaimed in excitement.

“Hey bastard! You have to make some sense! Does it make sense that two Lord-class talents pop out of this f*cking Countess?! You’re the only one I can’t believe!”

“Jimmy, you’re wrong.”

Rey put down his sword, and corrected Jimmy’s mistake while his expression hardened.

“Luna is an orphan of Mount Dinar, not Count Phillips.”

“…Aha, not the Count, not the Dinar.”

“Yes.”

“I’m sorry, what should I do? I almost made a very big mistake! I’m confused about where I got the orphans!”

Ebebebe Jimmy, who made fun of his tongue, raised his face and shouted.

“Hey, you bastard!! Do you think I’m trying to figure out whether I picked up the orphans in the upper village or the neighboring village?!”

“How important is the mountain…”

“Both of you stop!”

bang!

Matthew slammed the desk.

Matthew, who wiped his face with his bare hands, cut through the throbbing headache.

“Ray, let’s say I believe you. Why did you bring up Luna’s story?”

Seeing Matthew’s expression of disbelief, Ray raised both hands.

“Um… I see. I was in a hurry.”

Ray, Jimmy, and Matthew were all ignorant of magic.

Even if Rey, who did not know how to handle magic, teased about the qualities of a wizard, it was difficult to earn trust.

Ray admitted his mistake and spoke only the correct facts.

“Luna is born with circles. Do you understand what I mean?”

“You’re born with a circle?”

“Awakening has already ended. She imitates the magic used by Alesia at once. I barely dried it before the magic appeared.

“Shit.”

Jimmy and Matthew made a sound of pain at the same time.

“It is suicidal for a child without a proper background to show off his magical talents.

“I’m being careful. But hearing Luna’s story gave me a bit of a headache.”

In a calming atmosphere, Rey explained Luna’s situation from the beginning.

a few months ago.

Luna awakened the circle.

However, he only awakened the circle, and did not understand the exact use of the circle.

Luna’s parents were indifferent to their children.

However, if you work hard at home, you sometimes get short compliments, so Luna was heading home that day too, whimpering for water.

Luna, who found her parents just before arriving home, said it was nice and walked quickly, then stepped on a stone and fell.

The moment I almost got hurt, the wind blew and supported my body.

A man wearing a black robe approached and asked. are you ok

Luna nodded and intuitively realized how to use the circle.

As an innocent child who didn’t know much about the world yet, Luna thought that meeting a man was her destiny.

Luna succeeded in mimicking the flow of a circle revolving around a man’s heart before he left.

The wind blew.

Because it was a weak wind, Luna’s circle flickered for a moment and then disappeared.

Luna was delighted. He was sure he had a chance.

The man stood blankly in place, then realized that Luna’s parents were approaching, and whispered into Luna’s ear.

‘Don’t show it to anyone, wait here.’

Not long after that

Luna’s parents became addicted to gambling and ran into debts they couldn’t pay.

The couple, who had virtually no affection for their children, abandoned Luna and left.

“It’s a story called -.”

By the end of Ray’s story, Jimmy and Matthew were deeply troubled.

Ray laughed.

“What I’m curious about is this.”

On the premise that the sequence of events is not coincidental.

“Why did you use such a complicated method? I wanted to ask you this. If you wanted Luna, you could kidnap him that night? Why did you bring in a gang and the Georgia family?”

“It’s highly likely that you’re not a wizard belonging to a legitimate group.”

Jimmy scratched his scalp, revealing his frustration.

“If there was no back pain, I would have finished the job quickly, whether it was conciliation, threats, or kidnapping. Looking at the construction, it seems that I wanted to handle the work as noiselessly as possible… Ah, I don’t know.”

Even if the man’s identity was a warlock wanted by the Empire, it was a deed that was difficult to understand.

It’s just taking one child out.

It was more neat to just sneak up at night and run away than to mobilize bastards to clumsy construction work. Isn’t the opponent even aristocrats?

Matthew, patting his temple, opened his mouth.

“Let’s make a hypothesis.”

Their eyes turned to Matthew.

“Your opponent is a warlock. They were working on an important ‘project’ in the Dinar area. They colluded with the Georgian family for the project.”

“Were you already close before you met Luna?”

“Yeah. There’s still a lot of time left before the project is complete, and the warlock can’t leave Dinar during that time. For the project to succeed, he had to refrain from doing anything that stood out, so he entrusted the Giorgia family to pick up the ‘jewels’ that were off the road. did it.”

“What if the value of ‘jewelry’ was so high that it was difficult to entrust it to others?”

“Well. Maybe it’s because of the confidence that I have complete control over the Georgia family, or maybe it’s because the project in progress is so important that it’s hard to turn my attention.”

It’s a hypothesis anyway. Still, it was pretty plausible.

Jimmy took a deep breath.

“Anyway, doesn’t that mean the wizard took the child he was looking for to the nursery school?”

“Yes.”

“If you follow Matthew’s hypothesis, you’ll be here as soon as the project is over, right?”

“Yes.”

Ray giggled and smirked.

“I need to kill some people.”

“…”

Jimmy didn’t say anything to Ray that he didn’t care about.

There was one thing I had to check in front of a guy who wanted to kill people.

“Have you seen killing people?”

“Not many. A few.”

“Crazy. Okay, what do you want from us?”

“Uh… it’s nothing special. For the next few days, go out to town, meet a lot of people, and buy some drinks at night.”

“?”

Jimmy, not understanding Ray’s words, asked.

“You want us to play and eat while you go to Dinar and kill people?”

“Um, Jimmy. I don’t want to leave a potential enemy stalking the orphanage. At least I need to know the wizard’s identity. Even if we want to talk to each other for a smooth solution, we need to know the other person, right?”

In fact, it had to be killed.

If he couldn’t kill Rey alone, he had to bring in Jimmy or the Count to kill him.

Ray continued speaking with such a heart hidden.

“So, I have no intention of conceding this matter.”

“therefore?”

“I’m going to stalk the Georgia family until we figure out who the wizard is. Even if the opponent is a gang, it’s going to get worse if there’s a series of injuries and murders.”

“…I guess.”

“So I will use the sword.”

“…What?”

“The sword. Whether it’s a gangster or a gangster, they’ll hit their necks with their swords and cut them in half with their swords. Absolutely. All you need is a witness. If you can’t do it, they’ll even strike you on the neck. If you do that…”

Jimmy understood what Rey was trying to say.

“You’re off the hook.”

“That’s correct.”

“What the hell are you…!”

“So, Jimmy and Matthew, who know how to use swords, should make a lot of alibi so they don’t explode. Do you understand?”

Ray is 9 years old.

A 9-year-old cannot use swordsmanship.

That is common sense.

Therefore, if there are no witnesses, no matter how many times Rey cuts a person’s throat with his sword, or how overlapping with the criminal, he can get away from the suspect.

If they have a long tail, they will be caught, but only once, they can freely sweep the Viscount and kill people.

It was a privilege that was possible at the age of 9.

“Oh my God, are you serious? Wouldn’t it be like killing one or two people?”

“I can’t help it. If you do it wrong, the nursery will be attacked.”

“Damn, Ray!! Do you really have to do this? You’re just an orphan? You’re a completely different person? You’d rather just give it up! Throw it back in the place you picked it up and come back!”

Jimmy slammed his desk in anger.

“It’s not been a few years. Where is the need for you to take such a risk and such a karma to protect an orphan who was born a few months ago?”

“It’s a bit humane to have an orphan abandoned once again…”

“Is it humane to rip dozens of people to death with a sword?!”

“Jimmy.”

Ray shook her head.

Jimmy, who was about to shout one after another, saw Rey’s eerie glowing eyes and silenced his voice.

Ray stood up and looked out the window.

In the playground that was starting to get dark, children were still running around and fussing at each other.

You can’t use them as a shield to protect Luna.

Conversely, he had no intention of making Luna a scapegoat for other children.

This is not a concession issue.

Ray laughed.

“Since you’ve entered my orphanage, you’re my family. I have to protect you.”

Jimmy, who stared blankly at Rey for a moment, laughed along.

“This is my nursery, why yours, you bastard.”

“Heh heh…”

The three of them laughed dryly for a moment.

Jimmy picked his breath and cleared his complicated head.

Rey’s plan wasn’t outrageous, but it was necessary to minimize the flow as much as possible. The tail had to be short.

“Who are you going to hit first?”

“Hans and Carl. The ones who tried to take Luna. I don’t think they know anything great, and we’ll climb up these guys and find the guy who instigated Luna’s kidnapping.”

“…until you find the one who bought you, are you going to kill them all?”

“What should I do? I have to do it with the mind of taking out the trash.”

Ray ruffled her hair.

I remembered the battle with David.

If he failed to get David’s attention, Luna, along with Karen, Johanna, and Mia could have almost lost their lives.

Even a slight misjudgment during the battle with David could have nearly burned the entire nursery.

Ray promised.

A nursery school should never be a battlefield.

‘I want to have a sore head after picking a legendary orphan once…’

If this task is completed well, the anxiety factor will completely disappear.

Rey clenched her hand tightly.

I was prepared to spill blood.

Now I had to move .
