He showed a reflective look and did not continue to ask. He stood beside Xion and took out the pistol from his arms.
Although there was some hesitation on the street, since there was no one there, there should be no problem in taking it out.
Xion glanced at Haruma and snapped his fingers.
"……What have you done?"
"Just in case, here's a way to get rid of the crowd and cut off the sound. No one from the outside can get close here, and even if there is a flashy sound, it can't be heard outside my range. Rice and the Commissioner can also pull out their guns, It doesn’t matter if you shoot.”
On the one hand, I feel that magic is troublesome, but on the other hand, I lament that it is really convenient for my companions to be able to use magic.
After confirming that Les and Lena raised their pistols, they faced Theon again.
"Then what? Is the target nearby?"
"Well, it seems to be hidden by magic, but I completely understand, so don't worry."
"Surrounded?"
If you know the location, the best way is to let Haruma and the others with weapons spread out and surround people other than the target from four directions.
But Theon shook his head at the suggestion.
"Although they are people other than the weak, to be honest, I don't know what kind of magic they will use to attack me. To be honest, I even hope that people other than me are waiting here..."
It's not that I don't understand what Xion said, but after all, I can't do this.
Even ordinary shopping must be monitored, especially when in contact with others, and must be within the sight of the human army.
If Theon wants, he can use Halmar and others as smoke as he wants, but he did not do so here, which shows that Theon does not want to cause unnecessary trouble in the relationship with the human army because of such a thing.
Although contracts were officially exchanged, the trust relationship between the two parties was still weak.
"Surrounding can be achieved using magic, so I hope five people will follow me... and monitor the place where I capture outsiders."
"I know, I know."
He answered rudely in the latter part of his words to the joking Theon, who followed him as instructed.
In less than a minute, they came to the corner of the narrow passage between buildings, where Theon stopped.
(Are you in front)
Although nothing was said, it could be detected from Xion's attitude.
At the same time, hold the gun with a little force and be ready to pull the trigger at any time.
Next to Halma like this, Xion adjusted his breathing gently and rushed into the passage from the corner in the next moment.
Halma rushed into the passage immediately afterwards, but at that time, it was impossible to confirm the existence of anyone in the passage other than Xion.
"Hide and seek is over!"
With a rude shout, Theon released something like a flashbang from his hand, illuminating the passage darkened by shadows.
In that light, there was no shadow so far... Haruma's eyes could clearly see what must have been a small shadow flying into the depths of the passage.
"ah!"
With a sharp sound, a mysterious black object flew out of Theon's shadow. The round one was smoothly retracted into Xion's right hand as if it had been agreed upon in advance.
But Theon twisted his body and pulled his right hand back. Then,
"That's it!"
Without hesitation, throw the black object on the right towards the target who wants to escape.
Just like that, the black object headed straight towards the target——
"Where's it on the left?!"
The target of the black object is obviously to the left of the target and is indeed off track.
"Are you a fool? Theon! How can an athletic idiot aim at a moving thing and throw it!"
"No! Okay! Maybe."
It's impossible to be sure about something that you can't guess no matter how hard you think about it.
Just when Haruma opened his mouth and wanted to point it out with a roar, the black object in front of his sight expanded...
It should be something like a balloon. If you look closely, it turns out to be a pair of eyes, staring at the target on the right.
Moreover, the area under the eyes opened wide like a crocodile's mouth. In the next moment, the huge spherical body stretched to the right and swallowed the target whole.
"Okay! You see, that's it!"
"Eighty percent of it is Xijun's hard work!"
As Natsumi yelled, the black object that completely swallowed the target jumped back here.
Just like that, it was held by Xion's hands, and the next moment it changed its shape into a birdcage-like shape.
"...Huh? Aren't you surprised?"
“I’ve found that if you’re surprised by everything you do, there’s no end to it.”
Theon, who said "That would be boring," held a birdcage transformed from a black object in his hand.
And among them are people other than the targets just captured.
"...Is it a bird?"
"Is it a bird?"
"Is it a bird?"
The bird in the birdcage looks like an ordinary bird at first glance.
Possibly from the shock of being completely engulfed, she seemed unconscious and almost motionless, but still seemed to be alive.
Theon watched the bird carefully while it was still.
"This... must be a hummingbird."
"...So, it's not a human being, but an ordinary bird, right?"
"No, it can't be."
It was indeed a bird in appearance, but the bird did not disappear until Theon illuminated it with what seemed to be magical light.
Because this is a skill that ordinary birds cannot master, it must have some kind of supernatural power.
"Well, anyway... let's buy gifts for the captain and the others and go back."
"You said you wanted to go back..."
"He seems to have passed out and can't listen at all, and he wants to ask for information, so the captain had better be there, right?"
Theon's argument does make sense, but what about bringing non-human beings to a human army base?
But because Sheehan pointed out that "it's better than leaving it alone in Miami", he finally decided to bring it back to Ajit.
"The gift became two."
"...Did you mistake the gift and the trouble?"
Xion and Haruma, who originally just sent them to go shopping for desserts, came back after picking up something other than someone else's.
Thinking that his brother would face such a difficult case next, Chunma sighed deeply.
"——So, I want two gifts. Let's eat the cookies first, right?"
Captain's room.
Sitting on the low table for guests in the center of the room, there was a strange combination of paper bags and iron bird cages from the famous Western pastry shop. Ajit couldn't help but cover his face with one hand.
"What are you talking about?"
"Other than that, I can't explain it...ah, I bought the birdcage on the road. I don't have enough funds, right?"
"I don't know! You should apply carefully yourself!"
"Hmm..." Theon looked dissatisfied and Mist lacked composure.
Anna probably felt that it was impossible for two people like this to talk, so she squeezed in between them.
"Anyway, I found a stranger in Miami, so I captured him, right?"
"Yeah, it's a little weird living in a big city like this."
While listening to Theon's answer, he observed the birds that were still unconscious in the birdcage.
Although Ajit doesn't know much about birds himself, Aster says it's a hummingbird.
"In my opinion, it's just a bird... What do they think of Haruna?"
"From the appearance, it is indeed an ordinary bird, but we have confirmed that before catching it, it disappeared due to the power of supernatural powers."
It's not a public place, so you can relax a little, but Haruma is expressing his opinion as a soldier after all.
Seeing his brother's restraint, Aki smiled bitterly in his heart and decided that the bird was not a human.
Even though Hjalmar's testimony was true, there was no reason for Theon to bring an ordinary bird here, claiming it was something other than a human being.
"So, what does Istar plan to do to people other than this person?"
"I plan to ask him first. If there is no problem, I want him to escape..."
Theon glanced vaguely at Misty.
"If you are not human with such a posture, the human army will not let you go!"
"I thought you would say that."
Theon shrugged deliberately, as if to say, "I know."
Her attitude towards the ignorant child made Mist angry, but before she could say anything, Anna took action.
"Anyway, this kind of judgment is only after hearing it, right? There's no point in nagging now."
"Yeah, let's wake this bird up first..."
Theon held out a finger to the bird flipping in its cage.
Everyone is thinking, what is he doing? Xion whispered in front of everyone.
