Then—

At a dim, somewhat humid deserted alleyway.

“W-, What are you planning on doing to me!? P-, Please stop! It’s not good to resort to violence! H-, hieeee-!? Please don’t hit me! Not even my father has hit me before!”

Glen sighed to himself and said to the man, who keeled over and trembled in fright.

“You don’t need to do that anymore okay? …So, what brings you here, Albert?”

“………”

With that, the man’s attitude fearful shivering and pathetic appearance disappeared without a trace. The man stretched out his back as if it were natural, cast away his top hat and glasses, and released his tied hair from its binds.

In doing so, the entire atmosphere of the alley seemed to change. Although the temperature hadn’t dropped, it felt as though it were several degrees lower.

The removal of the superficial tinted-glasses revealed a pair of hawk-like eyes with sharpness that seemed to gaze into the depths of the human heart. Those eyes new stared at Glen with a piercing gaze.

The man’s appearance was now unmistakably that of Glen’s former comrade in the Imperial Court Magicians, Special Operations Executor #17, ‘The Star’, Albert.

“…It’s been a while, Glen. The last time we met was when the royal guard was running amok during the Magic Games Festival, correct?”

Glen placed a hand against his head and leaned against the wall of the alleyway.

“I know that if it was for the mission, you could act as anything from a well-mannered gentleman to a shallow playboy, or even a notorious delinquent if necessary… but after such a long time, seeing the gap between your act and your nature makes me feel a little dizzy…”

“Hmpf, you’re just weak. You need more mental training.” Albert coldly declared.

Heck, why are you a battlemage anyway? Why not just go an act for a living…

Glen resisted the urge to say this and changed the topic.

“Ah, now I get it. Now that I know you’re here, I get why Riel of all people was chosen to be Lumia’s bodyguard… She’s just a decoy isn’t she?”

“Correct. By placing someone who is full of openings as a bodyguard, we hope that any possible assailants will become careless. The Princess’ true bodyguard is me. For your knowledge, this is a top-secret mission that only few know about in the military. I guard the distance from a fairly long distance and notice the enemy ahead of time. Then, I silently eliminate them. Furthermore, the operation carries the hope that the enemy will reveal further whereabouts. That said, I don’t think that the organization we are dealing with will fall for the ploy this easily.”

“If it’s any consolation, it’d probably be better if they didn’t do anything at all… On the other hand though, that means that there isn’t anything else that you guys
