Last night, at the restaurant...
"So he's really here?" Tora looked at Accel seriously. To be honest, he still did not trust this person completely.
"Yes, I've been following him the whole time" Reply Accel. "He has arrived in this city. He might be chasing you."
Tora gulped down a glass of water and placed it on the table.
"Then do you have a plan?" Tora Vocabulary. "I remind you, Darren-sama is not a person who is easily fooled. He is a smart and thorough man. He always thinks twice and never leaves a small chance."
Accel just laughed a little by putting on a confident face. "Don't underestimate me, yeah. I'm an European sorcerer, of course I have a plan" he said. "You yourself even sound as if praising his prowess. Don't you still admire him?"
Tora just turned her eyeballs around. He was almost fed up with Accel's behavior that was too much of a bacot.
"Just tell me what your plan is!" Tora stomps the table.
Accel laughed again and finally he started to open his mouth. "I need you to be the bait" he said.
Tora almost fell out of the chair when she heard him. "Are you crazy!? I'm trying to get away from her, and you're asking me to come back!?" His shouting. "If he finds me again, he may already know my plan and I will definitely kill him!"
"That's what I want" said Accel. "He's certainly not gonna refuse to chase you."
Tora starts to feel uneasy about Accel's plan. Accel is a great and intelligent man, but Tora thinks he is nothing more than a man who will do anything for his purpose.
"If you manage to lure him out, then your share is done. The rest I'll take care of with the soldiers of the Vertrag kingdom" Accel continued.
Tora was a bit grumbling, but if the pay was worth it then this was not a problem.
"As promised, right?" Tora Vocabulary. "Thousand pieces of gold coins and a mansion. I'll do it if you give it to me."
Accel just grimaced a little. "Yes, yeah. That's not a big deal."
Accel reached out and Tora grabbed him. They are in a relationship and have made a deal, although Tora is a bit heavy doing it.
"Well, a thousand gold coins and a mansion. Not too bad for a simple task."
They came out of the restaurant and made their way towards the center of the city, where the king of Vertrag lived.
"After I get Darren's head, I'll put it on a silver platter and present it to the noble Axel," Accel began to smile to himself. "Then he will give me a great award. Is gold? Or maybe a higher position? I can't wait to wait for it."
While Accel was muttering a no-no, Tora was thinking more about plans for the future.
"How do I frame Darren-sama? He's a smart guy. Cheap ways will certainly not work on him," Inner Tora. "If I just relied on meeting and running, I definitely wouldn't be able to. His running speed was very nimble, he would definitely easily catch me before I could anything."
"If I rely on fight-ah, don't think about it. I'm sure I lost a lot."
Tora looked up at the sky. Beside him, Accel was still engrossed in his own thoughts. He began to walk with his eyes focused on the bright moon.
"What should I do?" Tora Mumbles.
Suddenly a sentence passed through his mind.
"You must understand your strength and the strength of the enemy. If the enemy is stronger, create multiple scenarios. Plan your actions and be on standby to anticipate enemy action."
Yes, the phrase comes from the historical figure Sun Tzu. Although Tora does not know who it is, but the point is that he knows the sentence from Darren.
"I don't know what kind of magic Darren-sama can use. But so far, I've seen him use all kinds of magic freely. It's better if I speculate that he could use all kinds of magic."
"Compared to my magic, I can only use wind elements and some non-elemental spells."
"I don't have to fight. All I have to do is lure him. So I can use speed spells to increase the chances of escape."
"Darren-sama will definitely use the same spell to chase after me, so I need to set up some traps."
"I might be able to memorize the plan of this city, and also take advantage of some environmental conditions such as the hustle of the city."
"And in the end, it's going to be a brain fight. Power is no longer necessary."
When Tora was busy with her daydreams, it was unexpected that they were stopped by the royal police. Tora was shocked, but Accel came forward.
"Oh, you must be Accel-sama," said the policeman.
Accel replied to him with a cynical look. "You, you police don't know yourself. Where's your manners?" Her speech. "I am a royal guest. You should have greeted me more politely! And also, you should be bowing!"
The policeman immediately bowed respectfully. "Please forgive my cunning, Accel-sama." He also moved to open the road.
Accel simply threw away the face arrogantly. "You better realize your position next time." Tora and Accel are back.
Tora, who saw Accel's attitude, subconsciously compared his attitude to Darren's. Darren was a gentle criminal, and his attitude was even better than that of most royal nobles.
Despite being young, he has a mature nature and always tries to make people like him. Whether it was to seal his identity or indeed his style mingled.
But Tora returned to her mind. He threw away Darren's thoughts and swore inwardly not to return to the criminal.
He scrunched his face. It was hard for him to throw away the memories of Darren. But there was something hanging in his bag.
"It's..." He took that thing. "I remember this thing."
Wooden dolls with beautiful carvings. What makes it even more special is that this doll is a gift from Darren. Wait, no-this isn't a special thing!
Tora shook her head. He tried to throw that thought back. He even raised his hand, intending to throw the puppet. I wish it hadn't reappeared.
Swoosh's... He hesitantly threw the doll into the bushes on the side of the road.
"What's up, Tora-kun?" Accel looked at the sound behind him.
Tora flipped to face Accel. "No, it's nothing." He said that with a gloomy face.
Accel could see Tora's face, but he simply turned his back and walked back as if nothing had happened. He didn't even say
Tora walked back with a slight stagger. For some reason, but his mind was instantly muddled after he threw away the doll.
"I have to keep going. No need to think about it anymore."
