The headquarters of the Capital Knights was brightly lit even late at night. Incidents and accidents occur day and night, and in the ‘inner circle’, there are more frequent disturbances at night.

 

Assassination, secret meetings, and affairs tend to take place at night.

 

However, tonight was brighter and more chaotic than any other night. This was because an operation was about to be carried out to capture the person known as ‘Blue Rose’.

 

Ronald, the captain of the 3rd team of the Capital Knights, carried his luggage and raised his voice.

 

“Is everyone here!!”

 

“Yes!!”

 

“I will ask you about our goal. What is our goal?!”

 

“‘Blue Rose’!!”

 

The knights, standing upright, answered in unison. Today, the mission of the 3rd team of the Capital Knights was to capture the mysterious vigilante group ‘Blue Rose’.

 

『Blue Rose』.

 

A woman of unknown origin, characterized by her blue hair and overly decorated dress. She began her activities a month ago and has so far subdued about 10 unofficial criminals, who were then handed over to the local police in an illegal manner.

 

For example, she tied up an unofficial criminal A with a rope and hung him in front of a guard post. Along with a note stating the charges.

 

Here is a little bit of common sense about the Capital Knights.

 

Unofficial criminals are wealthy hooligans who have escaped the status of criminals through lobbying or bail. They are mostly the second or third sons of noble families.

 

Ronald coined the term because there were so many people who were getting away with it by paying money.

 

The reason why the Capital Knights are after ‘Blue Rose’ is because she has committed crimes that are suspiciously aimed only at nobles. As if the criminals she knows are all nobles.

 

This has led to various complaints, and thanks to the strong insistence of Lulu, the captain of the Capital Knights, the operation was launched.

 

“Have you packed your equipment?!”

 

“We have!!”

 

“Good!! Then let’s finish the warm-up before we go──”

 

As the knights stretched their bodies with a clatter.

 

Lulu, wearing power armor, crouched in a corner, hugging all kinds of worries and anxieties. It was like a child on the eve of Christmas after hearing that ‘your father is Santa Claus’.

 

Is she really the one?

 

Or what if…?

 

What if I’m disappointed because she’s not, it’s going to hurt a lot.

 

But I still want to check.

 

Her thoughts went round and round like a hamster wheel. Positive, then negative, determined, then crumbling like a sandcastle in front of a wave.

 

“The chances of it really being her are, low…?”

 

It would be incredibly low. How many coincidences would have to overlap? So, most likely, “Blue Rose” is not “Pure Knight.”

 

Even though I know I’ll be disappointed in the end, I still hope desperately.

 

Whiiiiing. Clang.

 

Lulu flipped up the power armor helmet and stood up.

 

Thanks to the thick power armor with all its functions, the magic of increasing her height from 160 to 185 cm happened. The captain of the Capital Knights in full armor was a giant of steel.

 

“Good.”

 

Captain Ronald of the 3rd team, after checking the preparations, declared confidently.

 

“Tonight, we will capture 『Blue Rose』-!!”

 

“Yes-!!”

 

The knights ran through the moonlight.

 

—- —-

 

Roderus Redburn was sentenced to imprisonment in the dungeon for failing his assassination mission. However, even now that he has been released from prison after serving his sentence, the punishment continues.

 

“Until your body recovers, take care of the small tasks around the house as a pastime.”

 

At first glance, it seemed like he was giving his injured son time to rest, but that was not the case. It was a way of saying that he had doubts about his abilities and that he should prove himself again from the bottom up.

 

Whether you are a sword that is worthy of use.It was no different from being demoted. He was distanced from the center of the Redburn family and was assigned to do trivial tasks.

 

Such as guarding the Danran tavern, which was a few bridges away from Redburn, or taking care of the rogue organization that was starting to disobey the fortress.

 

If it were the old Roderus, he would have felt intense anger and humiliation. It was like asking an elite chef to only boil ramen.

 

However, the current Roderus was not attached to such things. To be exact, he was only slightly attached.

 

“They really know how to treat people like dogs…”

 

He felt a bit of heat because the symbol of having the fable manpower organize the thugs was close, but in most situations, he could rather enjoy the leisure. Easy tasks guaranteed a lot of free time.

 

He used the remaining time for magic girl activities.

 

He had memorized the list of various ‘businesses’ circulating within the family. There were many wicked people in the world, so Roderus just had to go and collect them.

 

At first, it was shallow.

 

He targeted those who were loosely connected to Redburn, so loosely that it was impossible to find a link, such as drug addicts, idiots who were trying to get involved in the slave trade, and scumbags who ran illegal private gambling dens.

 

It was like scraping off the calluses of a giant, but if these small things piled up one by one, they would definitely have meaning.

 

During such days, Roderus was given a mission. He was to guard the banquet hosted by Viscount Benston. Continue until the next mission comes down.

 

Viscount Benston was a man who had jumped into the arms industry based on two high-quality iron mines in his territory. His business was growing in size day by day, and he made a lot of money.

 

Viscount Benston invested the money he earned in banquets to strengthen his connections with other nobles. Thanks to his efforts, he was able to walk freely even inside Crown Hall.

 

However, all of this was a disguise.

 

Viscount Benston’s main source of income was not the sale of arms, but drugs that were secretly distributed to nobles.

 

The drugs in the dream world have a different dictionary definition.

 

This is a world where even severe addiction symptoms can be cured if you go to a priest. So neither poppies nor marijuana are illegal, and even if you smoke a lot and get high on drugs, it’s not a big problem.

 

So, in this world, drugs that could be called ‘drugs’ were more severe.

 

Instead of making you unstable and violent, it can draw out your potential.

 

Instead of cutting your life short, it gives you temporary strength.

 

Drugs that provide unimaginable pleasure to humans.

 

Therefore, Viscount Benston’s ‘banquet’ was nothing more than a black market disguised as a grand and glamorous party. Roderus was sent to such a place as a security guard. As a low-ranking employee.

 

Amidst the hustle and bustle of people talking and dancing, Roderus leaned against the wall with his hat pressed down on his attendant’s uniform.

 

If someone gets drunk or drugged and riots, subdue them, and if a sword is needed, draw it. Wait when it’s calm. That’s it.

 

Viscount Benston’s banquet was one of Duke Redburn’s main sources of income. If this place could be destroyed… it would be a significant blow.

 

As Roderus recalled the faces of those who attended the banquet one by one.

 

“Hey, security.”

 

“……”

 

Roderus lifted the brim of his hat slightly and looked at the man who had come to speak. It was Viscount Benston’s second son, Zwidey Benston. His nickname was ‘Drug Addict’.

 

He was also one of the core members of the ‘banquet’, helping his father sell drugs. He was born with high resistance, so he could use both drugs and poisons with almost no side effects.

 

His role was to take the drugs without worrying about the side effects in front of the nobles who doubted their effectiveness. The nobles were fascinated by the amazing effects of the drug. Without knowing the side effects hidden in the darkness…

 

In addition, Zwidey Benston tested the performance of new drugs with his own body, or mixed drugs to find out the synergy. Because of his usefulness, he was given an important task despite his clumsy and twisted personality.

 

As he was a key figure, he also knew that most of the drugs that were distributed were handed down by Duke Redburn.Therefore, he knew that Roderus was a blade dispatched by the Duke of Redburn. He also knew that he was being punished for failing his mission.

 

“Hey, I’m calling you. Guard.”

 

“…Don’t talk nonsense. You bastard.”

 

“Bastard? Ha… Do you still not know how to turn around? The stray dog who lost his favor and was abandoned still has his mouth alive.”

 

“Aren’t you also a bastard? Ah, of course the seed is different… I’m a stray dog of a noble breed, and you’re a sick dog who rolled around in a coal mine.”

 

Splash-!

 

Zweedy Benston splashed the wine he was holding on Roderus’ face. Then he smiled and teased him.

 

“Oops, I spilled it by mistake.”

 

“I understand. Those who work in the mines have a lingering cough and dropsy.”

 

“…Let’s see how long you can be so shameless.”

 

Zweedy Benston gritted his teeth once, then picked up a plate of spaghetti nearby and threw it at Roderus. Thud, the meatballs and spaghetti stuck to his face and dripped down.

 

Roderus endured it. It would be easy to turn that bastard’s head into a skewer here, but he is being punished now.

 

He couldn’t kill the core personnel of the drug business.

 

The Duke of Redburn would be more angry that Roderus had disobeyed his orders than that Zweedy Benston had insulted him first. Then he would be out of favor, and he would be further away from his goal of purifying the family.

 

Zweedy Benston also knew that much.

 

“Clean it up, you guard brat.”

 

Zweedy Benston spat on Roderus’ shoes one last time and left. He took a deep breath to calm his anger.

 

It was the moment when the next target of Pure Knight was decided.

 

—- —-

 

It was late at night.

 

The party was over, and the nobles returned to their homes, and Roderus also gained a brief freedom. He would be able to rest until the next party.

 

“Transform.”

 

Or, contribute to the public order of Crown Hall.

 

The window of the Benston mansion opened, and a small shadow rose along the wall. Tap. The shadow stepped onto the roof in an instant with its flexible and light movements.

 

As the wind blew away the clouds that covered the round moon, a blue girl appeared under the moonlight. It was the magic girl, ‘Pure Knight’, who fluttered with a long ribbon and ran through Crown Hall.

 

“‘Ribbon Rope’.”

 

Jjorarararak-!

 

The blue ribbon formed by magic power stretched out long and wrapped around the railing of the next building. Odesu rolled her feet lightly and fell from the top of the roof.

 

Wheee-!

 

The small body draws a semicircle. Odesu crossed the cityscape of Crown Hall on the ribbon, flying through the sky. The wind fluttered and brushed her ears.

 

It was time for the night patrol.

 

Incidents happen even late at night. Even if it’s not a big deal, it’s everything to the person involved in the incident. It was for the purpose of helping such people.

 

Passing through the quiet city⋯⋯ often made me feel lonely, but it was okay if I recalled the warm memories.

 

From Noble mtl dot com

 

Save people and punish evil.

 

If I could get one step closer to the faces of my beloved friends because of that, and if I could be honest with myself, I couldn’t do it.

 

Odesu’s eyes, which were observing the ground from the sky, stopped at the dark back alley.

 

There, a child running away is visible.

 

Theft? No. The child has nothing. In the child’s eyes, I could read a longing for freedom. The one chasing after him is a beggar. Greedy.

 

Perhaps a small organization that makes children beg and receive kickbacks. If so.

 

Whirik!

 

“Ack…!!”

 

“Ugh…?!”

 

The chasing beggar is lightly tied with a ribbon and subdued. The magic girl landed gently in front of the fleeing child.

 

At that sight, the child was startled and fell backward.Oh Dae-su cleared his throat and spoke, trying to be as kind as possible. Like Oh Hye-in.

 

“Are you okay?”

 

“Ah, uh…”

 

“Nothing to be surprised about. “I’m only interested in mean people.”

 

Oh Dae-su grinned, bent his knees slightly and held out his hand. The child stared at her with wide eyes, then stood up holding her hand.

 

“Go to the west church. The priest there is at least as honest as he can be, so he’ll be able to live his life until he gets older.”

 

“….”

 

“Go, hurry.”

 

The child blushed as she looked at the magical female, and she ran away. Oh Dae-su quietly looked at her back, and then she turned her gaze to the beggar.

 

“You’re a beggar. You’ll be hanging at the North Gate now──”

 

“Target found!! 『Blue Rose』, Target found!!”

 

“…?!”

 

Oh Dae-su urgently looked around. The knight, who turned on the light with the light magic built into his helmet, was pointing at himself and screaming for the city to leave.

 

“Why the Metropolitan Knights…?!”

 

Have you been so anxious these days?

 

Quick and easy.

 

Heavy footsteps were heard from all directions. Not one.

 

Oh Dae-su jumped into the darkness of the alley. Okay. It wasn’t that dangerous. It’s enough to beat you…!

 

“The target is escaping!!”

 

“Establishing a siege… “Did you fly?!”

 

“It’s the Flying Vigilante!!”

 

“It’s night time, you idiots! Everyone is sleeping, so lower your voice!”

 

Each and every one of the Metropolitan Knights is a force that cannot be underestimated, but it is different when it comes to playing tag. They are noisy and dull.

 

“‘Pure Mirage’!”

 

Oh Dae-su used his magic to create clones of himself and spread them all around him. If you look closely, it looks chunky, but if you look at it from a distance, it’s not that easy to tell.

 

“It’s a self-immolation alert!!”

 

“Damn, are you saying the other person is an illusion wizard?!”

 

“Got it… It’s an alter ego!!”

 

Oh Dae-su easily escaped from the chaos of the Capital Knights. He was simpler than he thought. There was no way those so-called knights and knights could be chased by destroying buildings.

 

If they had pursued them through the ‘shortest route’ at the risk of loss of property and life, they would have been caught, but as of now, it was out of the question.

 

“Hmph, it’s a century away from catching me…”

 

That moment.

 

Oh Dae-su was given the illusion of having the sun behind his own back.

 

Cold sweat broke out, and the muscles of his entire body tensed. He has a presence right behind his back that can erase him with a single wave of his hand.

 

Woouuung-!!

 

An engine sound that sounds like an animal howling.

 

“There.”

 

A threatening voice modulated by magical power, as if shouting from the depths of hell.

 

“Let me see your face.”

 

“…!!”

 

Oh Dae-su desperately threw himself away. He must run away with all his might.

 

Ruru Kim stood silently looking at the back of the fleeing magic female. She Resembles. Similar. There are some parts that are the same. But I couldn’t be sure.

 

You can’t believe it until you see the face. Even though he tried to console himself, his heart was pounding extremely hard. No way… Really?

 

If it’s real.

 

If it’s true… What should I say?

 

“No, stupid Lulu. Let’s catch it first and see…!!”

 

Lulu tapped the top of her helmet. Magical energy was infused into her entire body.

 

Weweee eeeweee

 

Kwaang!!

 

And it flew up, leaving behind a crater.

 

—- —- —- — —-

 

A walking sun, immense power felt through the skin, power armor. That must be the leader of the Knights Templar, a notorious figure in the capital.

 

I swear, if that capital knight leader had used his body his a little better, he would have been caught a long time ago.

 

Shuuu!!“It’s not in this direction…” ”!!”

 

Or get thrown in the wrong place.

 

“Hey, stop there, you passed by…” ”!!”

 

I failed to control the acceleration and ended up going in front of Oh Dae-su first.

 

The reason tracking was able to continue even though all kinds of mistakes were made was because of the huge output difference that existed between the two. But… Why?

 

Why is a Seunghwa-level person chasing him?

 

Have you discovered my identity…? No, that doesn’t make sense. Every time I transform, I check my surroundings dozens of times…!! Oh Dae-su was lost and confused.

 

The leader of the Capital Knights pursued him/her persistently.

 

“Hey!!”

 

“…Captain of the Capital Knights, why are you chasing me? “How much there is to do!”

 

“Stop!!”

 

“If it were you, would you stop?!”

 

Ruru Kim thought. The voices are similar too. It’s also the same with the fact that every time I lose my temper, my tone goes up. But I’m not sure, because I’m not sure!

 

A butterfly flew to Lulu’s side as her eyes were spinning. The butterfly quietly whispered as if it were talking to itself. Lulu thought that was her her idea her her her.

 

-You idiot. The way to find out is simple. You can just call me by name, right?

 

“…I know! But, what if it’s real?!”

 

-Weren’t you hoping it was real?

 

“That’s right, but I wasn’t mentally prepared. It’s been a while since we last met… Mr. Ai, maybe you should have asked your lieutenant to do your hair today…?”

 

I should at least wear pretty clothes. It was a belated regret.

 

Butterfly gave advice while giggling.

 

– Oh Dae-su was also incredibly lonely. He will be waiting for you.

 

“…I was so happy, happy, etc. It was a positive thought.”

 

-It’s not an optimistic prediction. Just close your eyes and call it.

 

“Well, if you get hit… “What do you say?”

 

You should know better than that. The butterflies scattered.

 

Lulu closed her eyes tightly. If she stays like this and misses ‘Blue Rose’, she will not be able to sleep at all. Like writing a summer vacation diary, it can no longer be put off.

 

“Oh, oh…”

 

Because I missed you so much. So, even if you are disappointed, go for it!

 

“Oh Dae-su-!!”

 

“…?!”

 

Chin.

 

On the roof of a mansion, the feet of two people who were busy running stopped at the same time. Roderus faced the commander of the Capital Knights and pulled out his rapier.

 

And there was a fierce murderous spirit in both eyes.

 

Uh, what is it? It’s not the reaction I was expecting. Lulu’s brain stopped and she froze.

 

“How do you know that name?”

 

“…Uh, huh?”

 

“She asked me how I knew that name. And, what did she do with the female who mentioned that name? Tell me-!!”

 

“Ah, ahhh. Oh wow… Wow, I was surprised…”

 

Did he think that the Knights Templar had captured and tortured his friend who accidentally fell into another world? Lulu calmly pressed the button to take off her body while holding her surprised her breasts her her.

 

Push-hik──!!

 

Steam came out from the cracks in her armor, and one by one they were dismounted. Lulu jumped out of the power armor and voila! She said.

 

“Ah, helmet…”

 

After properly taking off the helmet and putting it on the side of her, I said once again, “Ta-da!” He said. Roderus froze, his eyes wide to the limit.

 

“Did you fall victim to illusion magic…?”

 

“Hey, Oh Dae-su. “I said that.”

 

“You, no…” ” ”

 

“I originally said I was really strong…!!”

 

Crying. Bang!

 

Ruru Kim’s goodbye tackle was explosive. Roderus let out a sigh and fell back. His brain started spinning rapidly. A butterfly next to him even spoke a clue.

 

A line that Ruru Kim once said.

 

‘And I heard it from Hyein. It is said that if two magic females fight together, they get double the pure energy! So there is no need to fight to monopolize magical power.’It was said to be magical power.

 

While everyone was talking about pure energy, they said it was magical power!

 

“…You’re alive.”

 

Roderus lost all strength from his whole body. Relief, excitement, joy, a random mixture of such emotions was poking his head. He was about to say something…

 

Lulu Kim realized that her chest her, where her face her her she was buried, was becoming increasingly wet, so she just stroked his head. The night sky I looked up at was so beautiful today.

 

And for a while, he enjoyed the pleasant silence of the reunion.

 

“The trail continues this way!!”

 

“…sh*t.”

 

You don’t even give me time to enjoy it.

 

Even if Ruru Kim’s identity his was actually the leader of the Capital Knights, it was unclear what the knights below him would think of him. Even if things go well, if you’re caught like this, you’re going to spend a lot of time.

 

Then he might arouse the Duke of Redburn’s suspicions. So, for now, it would be better to step back with the promise of a reunion.

 

“Kim Ruru.”

 

“… “Keuung, Oh Dae-su.”

 

“See you again next time. There are no crepes or tanghulu here… But there is cake. At the Dongbu intersection bakery, the day after tomorrow at 1 pM And…”

 

Roderus grabbed Ruru Kim’s cheek and massaged it, thought for a moment, then placed his lips on her forehead. Because I saw Oh Hye-in do this to a crying child.

 

“…!!”

 

“Don’t cry. “I’m leaving.”

 

Oh Dae-su jumped into the darkness of the city, leaving behind the sound of the Capital Knights chasing him. Lulu Kim, who was frozen with his face red, said this to Team 3 manager Ronald, who had followed him belatedly.

 

“Did you miss ‘Blue Rose’?!”

 

“No, I think I got caught…”

 

Mind.
