It was evening. Berta was in the main plaza, everything around her bathed in crimson light.

Actually, she wasn’t exactly in the main plaza. She was just nearby, in the belltower of a building that was tall by Friedland’s standards. She was, however, looking directly at the main plaza from her perch. It was the focus of all her attention.

Berta. Yukinari. And Dasa. These three were up on the roof. Yukinari held Durandall and Dasa had Red Chili, as always. In addition, Dasa and Berta each had a sniper weapon—Derrringer.

Berta was watching the plaza through the weapon’s scope. Derrringer had a long barrel. She had asked Yukinari once why it was so long, but his explanation didn’t make complete sense to her—whatever the case, it wasn’t something you would normally just walk around with. Berta actually had a special Derrringer that Yukinari had given her for her use, but this was a different gun, one of the weapons Yukinari had lent to Fiona and the community watch. Berta and Dasa both had Derrringers back at the sanctuary, but Yukinari wasn’t willing to spare the time to go get them.

Berta didn’t understand what it was that had him so worried, but she trusted him from the bottom of her heart. Anything he wanted her to do, she would do it. Anything he asked her to do would not be mistaken. She wasn’t especially bright, so she would just do as he asked—that was what she had decided.

“If anyone down there has a strange response, shoot them,” Yukinari said.

Berta didn’t have any trouble with the actual shooting. She was quite used to Derrringer. It was highly accurate, and the distance between the belltower and the plaza wasn’t that great. Trying to hit one small, specific spot amid the hustle and bustle would be a very difficult shot—but just to land a round anywhere on a target the size of a human wouldn’t be so hard. She might even be able to deliberately miss any vital points, which soothed her resistance to killing things.

But there was still a problem.

“A strange response, my lord...?” She didn’t understand what he meant by that. “I’m sorry, but... what kind of response would be a... a strange one?” She thought it would be quite difficult to decide what was strange and what wasn’t.

For example, right at that moment, she could see two friends at one edge of the plaza, leaning toward each other and laughing about something. It made them stand out from the crowd; it was a little unusual. But they weren’t causing any trouble, and most people just passed them by. Surely he didn’t mean for her to shoot those two?

Berta hated how poor her judgment was. But...

“Um... hmm.” Yukinari frowned for a moment, perhaps realizing that his instructions had lacked a certain specificity. Finally he said, “Let me make the call.” He looked through his binoculars again. “Sorry, I know it doesn’t make a lot of sense.”

“No, it’s all right...” Berta shook her head. “I’ll just do what you say, Lord Yukinari.
