"Huh? This is..."
Norman, who had been admiring the hunt, couldn't help but step out of the shadows.
He didn't want to let Tasia off the hook, it was just that such a meaningful and precious prey, he wanted to make it taste more delicious.
The cries of the world before death and the despair full of pain are his favorite things.
In order to be foolproof when he struck, he had even rehearsed the magic of blocking movement countless times in advance.
But why did the accident that should have been ruled out still occur?
"it's over."
In mid-air, another person's voice suddenly sounded.
Low and full of magnetism.
Norman, who was exploring the strange doll in front of him, suddenly realized something, his face changed and he shouted loudly: "Aikos!"
Accompanied by this shout of panic and almost fear, the dense clouds parted, and the sky suddenly broke out.
The moonlight fell like ripples on water, and the dark barrier covering the sky dissipated without a trace in an instant. Everyone present was bathed in this unstoppable moonlight before they had time to react -
Darcy's blank expression remained on her face forever.
"puff."
The heavy object fell to the ground, making a dull sound.
In the cold and brilliant moonlight, a figure sat quietly in the void. The cloak behind him flew up and down, occasionally revealing a corner of the white pajamas underneath.
Seeing this extremely impactful scene, Tasia was stunned.
——Eco...Si?
At the critical moment, Norman used the most perfect performance in his life to escape from where he was standing.
In order to avoid the extremely terrifying moonlight, he had no choice but to swoop and hide under the weatherboard in front of Tasia's house not far away. There is still a small shadow here that allows him to survive.
But despite this, he was inevitably struck by the aftermath.
"Lord Ecos, why?!"
The magic power in his body seemed to spurt out in all directions uncontrollably, as if an alert animal was fleeing in panic under the threat of death. He shouted with grief, anger and despair: "You are not -"
Haven't you already joined our camp? !
However, abundant magic squeezed towards Norman Laird from all directions, interrupting his words.
"If you want to say why." The figure slowly descended.
"All I can tell you is... I'm angry."
angry?
Norman couldn't understand it at all.
But he also knew very clearly that he had no time to understand.
You must escape before Ax takes action next! Escape to a place where he can't catch up for a while!
"I'm sorry! I did something wrong and angered you!" Norman fell to his knees with a thud, stretching his hands straight forward with his palms touching the ground.
If you want to escape from him head-on, it is impossible for you to do it, you can only take it by surprise.
"I didn't know you were actually a man!"
Yes, he would never admit that.
The voice that Echos made just now was definitely a man's voice.
He loudly admitted his mistake: "I once subconsciously mistook you for an extremely beautiful woman. It was a villain who offended you!"
Nearby, Ecos's expression, which was particularly cold due to anger, froze.
It's now! ! !
Norman completely abandoned all distracting thoughts, and his only goal was to escape!
The man kneeling on the ground had only an afterimage left in the blink of an eye.
The moonlight was quiet, and the streets that had just experienced a destruction returned to calm.
Wayne exhaled a little frustratedly and turned to look at Tasia, who was still standing there stupidly.
The little bear that tried its best to hold up the protective barrier just now probably detected that the danger was over, stopped the operation of magic, and lay down peacefully in Tasia's arms.
Tasia, on the other hand, just stared at herself with a dull face, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Darcy is guilty of death. When the city guards come to collect the body, tell them that Echos has killed him."
Under Tasia's eyes that were as clear as a clear spring, Wayne felt that it was particularly difficult for him to explain.
He was so anxious that he didn't even have time to change into his pajamas, and he didn't bother to change his falsetto again, for fear that he wouldn't be able to rescue Tasia in time.
Unexpectedly, Norman was able to determine his identity just from the magic used by the doll, and even screamed at him on the spot...
It's a bit embarrassing.
Doesn't Tasia think that her teacher is actually a pervert obsessed with cross-dressing?
After thinking about it, he comforted her again: "Your mother is fine, she just slept as usual."
Tasia finally smiled in relief.
"So that's it..." She seemed to understand something.
"Um?"
Without a mask, Wayne felt very uncomfortable.
"Teacher, you must be worried about being misunderstood by outsiders because of your beauty."
"Ah, yes, that's it." Wayne nodded. "I have to go hunt down Norman. See you next time."
He didn't want to keep talking like this, it was getting more and more embarrassing.
She was so used to hiding her true appearance that she felt that Tasia's sight at this time was a bit unbearable.
hateful! If I couldn't find a suitable reason to explain all this now, I wouldn't have fallen to the stage of losing my vest!
He wasn't going to hold back anymore.
Before, I was thinking that even though I was an enemy, as long as the opponent would not harm me in a short period of time, I might still be able to take advantage of him.
But now I think about it, leaving these people behind will only create new troubles for themselves. They are too out of control, so it would be better to get rid of them.
He smacked his teeth.
"Does this doll that the teacher gave me have certain protective abilities?" Tasia suddenly asked.
"Yes." Wayne didn't hide it anymore, "I'm afraid you might encounter some accident."
Tasia felt a little excitement in her heart.
"Then can I put it next to my mother and go with the teacher to hunt down the murderer?"
She pushed herself to the limit.
Wayne opened his mouth to refuse, but Tasia said, "Teacher!"
"After all, I possess the magic of light... It is my innate mission to destroy the magic of darkness."
This is what people in the church tell themselves.
"Besides, I can't live under your wings forever. I also really, really want to participate in actual combat under your guidance to promote my learning!"
Although a little shy, Tasia boldly made her request.
Her eyes were full of hope and longing, making it difficult to refuse.
After thinking for a while, Wayne said: "Okay, let's find the city guards to finish it off first, and then we can hunt down that guy together."
"Huh? Aren't you going to leave right away?" Tasia was slightly surprised.
"If we don't inform the city guards in advance, they may affect my aunt when they investigate the crime scene."
Those people in the city guard are not easy people to deal with.
Tasia was stunned for a moment before realizing that the 'aunt' the teacher mentioned was her mother, and her face suddenly turned hot.
Wayne was thinking about how to get revenge later, but he didn't realize it.
"——Don't worry, he can't run away."
