Chapter 4: Devil

Late that night in the imperial capital, Suimei, Felmenia, and Liliana were walking around outside. Felmenia, who was sticking close to Suimei, was observing their surroundings and cautiously voiced her concern regarding the apparent unnaturalness of what she saw.

“It is quiet, is it not?”

“They probably anticipated that there would be a fight and evacuated the area beforehand.”

Suimei shared his speculation as he looked around himself. Just as Felmenia had said, the streets were perfectly still. There wasn’t a soul in sight. Since there was now a curfew on the city, that much was to be expected, but Suimei couldn’t even sense the presence of people in the houses around them. And walking down the empty streets, the sound of the cold, crisp nighttime wind carrying their voices and footsteps seemed far louder than usual. Suddenly, Liliana tugged on Suimei’s hand.

“Suimei... That.”

“They’re already showing themselves, huh? That was fast.”

There were several moving shadows in the direction Liliana was pointing, which was down a road that led straight to the southern plaza. And sure enough, accompanied by the sound of running footsteps, a lot of soldiers appeared from the darkness.

“Suimei-dono, will you really be alright with just you and Liliana?”

“No problem. The damage to my astral body has recovered well enough for this. All that’s left is to catch the target.”

As Felmenia and Suimei were talking, the approaching soldiers came to a stop some distance away from them. From what Suimei could see, the soldiers were heavily armed and had come in force. Their rear line was even a squad of mages standing at the ready. But they only stood there for a few moments before parting ranks as Graziella, Elliot, and Christa emerged before them.

“I see everyone came to the party,” Suimei said somewhat flippantly.

“It’s been a long time, hasn’t it, Suimei Yakagi. How is your health since then?” Graziella responded.

“Thanks to you, my recovery was delayed. It was quite a pain, honestly. But more importantly, you certainly brought a lot of friends along today, didn’t you?”

“Considering my opponent, I only made suitable preparations.”

“That’s quite a grand assessment.”

“Quit it.”

Graziella spat out her words like she was disappointed at Suimei’s false humility. Next it was Elliot who began speaking.

“To think that you were the one sheltering that girl...”

“Is it surprising?”

“Of course. I never would have thought that the person who was competing with me to find the culprit would be protecting one of the suspects.”

“Well, that’s fair.”

As Suimei unapologetically shrugged his shoulders, Elliot sharpened the gaze of his blue eyes as he looked at him.

“So, why are you doing it?”

“It would take a long time to explain, and I don’t have the time to spell it out for you.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean that I’m on my way to catch the mastermind behind the coma incidents.”

Hiding nothing, Suimei had no problem telling them what he was doing. But he heard a snort in response; it seemed Graziella couldn’t hide her displeasure. She wasted no time denouncing his actions.

“How shameless. You
