chapter 44
night getaway
Where are you two going?
What was the relationship in the first place? I couldn’t understand why Rachel was secretly dating the original villain on an ambitious night and not someone else.
I carefully followed the two of them, keeping their distance as little as possible without being noticed.
It made me feel like a stalker myself, but it was too serious a problem to just ignore.
There was not much information that could be obtained by looking at the back of the head from a distance.
I think it would be a little better if I could confirm who the opponent was, but even that didn’t show his face, so he was just speculating.
Georg? Dietrich? Or Siegfried?
I do not know. There was too little information to be sure who it was.
What I can tell now, though, is that the two aren’t really talking to each other.
Rachel and the members of Drakan just look ahead and head to an unknown destination.
I really had no idea what was going on. Why would Rachel get involved with Drakan no matter how much her imagination runs? Even with content that doesn’t appear in the original?
[Are you going to follow me to the end like this?]
‘Right now, that seems to be the only way.’
Of course, it is very dangerous to step on the back without preparing properly. I don’t know it either, so I’m not blindly following it.
But if I miss it now, it is unclear whether the opportunity will come again. Right now, the only answer to solving this difficult puzzle was to directly check the destination of the two people’s footsteps.
Then the two men in front suddenly stopped walking.
Have you reached your destination?
[Avoid!]
Chills that make the back of the neck stand up with the Goddess’ warning.
Without even having time to think about anything, he instinctively rolled over and avoided it.
A sharp icicle that bloomed where I was just before the fire. Even if it was a little late, it would have pierced my chest and became one with the ice.
In Drakhan, there is only one person who mainly uses cold magic.
Siegfried. The most dangerous one in Drakhan is trying to kill me.
“Avoid this. To be honest, it’s surprising.”
A voice in a relaxed tone can be heard from the front.
It was a tone that seemed to regard me as a flying insect rather than an equal adversary.
“Isn’t this just ordinary trash?”
It wasn’t a fly, it was a worm.
I think the handling has gotten worse.
As the commotion broke out, Rachel, who was next to him, turned around and looked at me.
It was quite a distance away, so he probably didn’t recognize my face.
please do so Because now I am neither Phantom Thief, Raven nor Arsene Lupin, but Cro Morris. In other words, the extra who sits next to Rachel. If you saw my face, you’d know who I was right away.
“I don’t know what you’re doing, but just die.”
It was not a bloody threat or warning.
It was just a blunt declaration.
There was only one action I had to take now.
Let’s run away somehow.
Getting information wasn’t as important now. Since my opponent is Siegfried and has declared that he will kill me, avoiding the seat at any cost is the top priority.
In the end, if you fight him at this point in time, you will be defeated. No matter how much he grew up absorbing the power of the gem, he wasn’t at a level that he could catch at the right time.
Even if you’re curious about the reason, shouldn’t you be able to figure it out once you live? I couldn’t die in vain like this here.
Of course, just because I was going to run away, there was no way my opponent could stand by and watch. As soon as I turn my back, an ice pick will come and pierce the back of my head and pierce my brain.
So what should I do?
In the extreme situation of life and death, I pondered the best number.
The time given was too short. Siegfried held out his hand and was casting a spell. A cold enough to freeze the surroundings soon spread across the street.
After thinking about it, I immediately took the card out of my pocket and threw it at him. Perhaps he would not be vigilant against weak opponents, he immediately corrected the trajectory of his arm and aimed at the flying card instead of me.
Ice arrows that are fired at an invisible speed. As soon as the card is pierced, it pops! Along with the sound effect, white smoke billowed up and obstructed the view.
“You’re using shallow numbers.”
He swung his hand as if it wasn’t even that funny, and immediately a cold wind blew the smoke away.
The gap was clearly felt with just a brief stint. The level of magic utilization is completely different. But I did not give in to him and immediately took out the next card.
Siegfried tries to attack me without even paying attention to the same flying card.
Exactly at this time!
The card that flew right in front of the opponent was oxidized this time by emitting a bright light. Anyone who witnesses a flash of light in the dark night will be blinded for a moment.
“ね!”
Also, the guy is confused as to whether this was not expected.
Without missing the gap, he quickly poured out all his remaining magic and cast a spell.
The moment when you hurriedly try to run away with a much lighter footstep.
“for a moment···!”
Rachel suddenly called me.
Reflexively looking back, he stopped. If you respond to that call here, you may miss the opportunity you have just created. If you do, you will surely die here by Drakhan.

Maybe Rachel can stop him? If the two of you know each other, it might be possible.
But I couldn’t bet my life on such a ‘possibility’.
It could only be that way, but in fact, there was a much higher chance that Siegfried, who had recovered his sight, would be angry and turn me into an ice statue.
So I didn’t look back.
“Ugh···! Heh heh…”
How long did you run away? I ran and ran and ran until my breath reached the tip of my chin.
Even if I didn’t feel any sign behind me, I didn’t stop running because I didn’t know.
After running away for a while and my legs were no longer moving, I just stopped and looked back.
Fortunately, he doesn’t seem to be chasing him. In fact, if my opponent really wanted to kill me, I would have died before I could even run away like this.
Perhaps the reason Siegfried didn’t follow me to the end was probably because of Rachel.
Whether it’s to get to the destination she was going to, or whether Rachel dried it herself.
I almost died while chasing for nothing.
Belatedly, I realized just how dangerous I was until just before.
You survived that Siegfried.
It is a level to be thankful for that heavenly luck followed suit.
As for how strong he is, he is one of the strongest in the current worldview.
Right now, the main character is also an opponent who only won after going to the second half of the original work and working together with his colleagues.
[Are you okay?]
“yes···. How did you save your life?”
As I wiped away my cold sweat, I asked the Goddess to thank me.
“If I hadn’t been warned in the first place, I would have been stuck. thank you.”
[What are you thankful for? You are the child I cherish and love the most, right?]
“uh···.”
It’s a bit embarrassing to suddenly receive such an embarrassing confession.
Anyway, it was clear that he was trying to make fun of me as usual, so I decided to take it lightly.
“If you marry me, you will be a widow in 100 years.”
[Huh. What do you see as a goddess? There are many ways to revive you.]
That’s so believable.
He lost all his strength right away, so he was searching for pieces of the marble of the soul.
[If it doesn’t work, can’t we just live happily together in the underworld with Oh Soon Do-soon?]
“…are you serious?”
[Of course, this is a joke.]
Then yes. If you just listen to what he says in the first place, it is obvious that this woman will also want to set up her own harem. Even a goddess-like being could have a supreme love story with a mere human.
From a casino operation to a follow-up followed by a life-threatening escape.
The day was so eventful that I was completely exhausted.
I want to go home soon and rest. You should also start absorbing pearls.
trudging back home with heavy footsteps.
In the midst of this, I was still surrounded by unanswered questions in my head.
Why the hell was Rachel with Siegfried?
Where were the two of them headed?
In the end, the secret may never be uncovered because of the unsuccessful follow-up.
Unless you ask directly.
“···for a moment. Are you asking me outright?”
Why not?
Right now, I am neither a phantom nor a Raven, nor am I Arsene Lupin.
It’s just Cro, an academy student who enjoys taking night walks in casual clothes.
While on a walk, I met a classmate and was about to say hello, but when I saw that friend was heading to somewhere with a suspicious man, I followed him out of curiosity.
However, he managed to escape after being threatened with his life by a sudden bombardment of ice.
What if I meet him at the academy the next day?
Of course, it’s not strange if you ask yourself and ask around.
Rachel doesn’t know that I stole a pearl from the casino just before.
I was just a good academy extra walking down the street.
“great. I’ll ask you tomorrow.”
[Oh. That makes me curious again.]
I’m really curious too.
I’ll have to listen carefully to what Rachel has to say.
And the next day.
As I had decided, as soon as I met Rachel in class, I asked all of them.
“Be honest. Who was that man last night?”
