TL/N: Sorry for the late update!
I had a bad premonition, and it’s true?
“What do you want?”
I despise talking to gangsters, but I needed to understand what was going on.
“…….”
These guys, however, doesn’t respond.
When I was perplexed at the time, something struck me. My heart skipped a beat.
I reached for my collar. It felt like my heart was being twisted.
It was the kind of pain I hadn’t felt in a long time. I felt like this about ten years ago since I had too much mana on my body.
I’m in trouble. I don’t think what they want is revenge. They were very unusual.
When I cautiously placed my hand on the gun tucked in my waist, these people drew their weapons and charged at me.
I couldn’t really stay still when the situation had come to this. First of all, I had to live.
I ripped the petals off the flower I purchased and dispersed them in the air. The sky blue petals were all over the place. As the petals obstructed their view, I grabbed my gun.
I immediately shot the man who appeared to be the boss.
Bang!
A gruesome shot rang through the desolate alley. My bullet immediately pierced his heart. At that moment when they were frozen on the spot, I immediately shot the person next to him in the head.
Now, even when they surrounded me, there were some gaps in which I could escape. I didn’t want to waste any more time, so I slipped through the gap.
I suddenly became healthy in winter when I was 11. I took advantage of my health and worked hard to become strong and agile. Thanks to this, I was able to escape even if my health deteriorated.
My arm, on the other hand, couldn’t take it and trembled. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to aim properly next time. But I should do it because my life is in danger.
However, they were far too many for me to handle on my own. Besides, they were all mages.
‘I did a wonderful job shooting two of them right away.’
As soon as they found out I had a gun, everyone started to cast magic circles in their hands, so I could tell that they were mages.
Is there something wrong with the spell Idris placed on my body? The only reason the mages would target me was for that reason.
I guess I’ll simply have to wait and see.
I smiled brightly as I held the gun to my head.
“I’ll shoot if you move.”
Of course, it’s only a threat.
I was skeptical that this would work, but it did. They stopped approaching me.
“What do you want?”
Given the circumstances, I suspected they were attempting to capture me alive.
However, if the goal is to capture me alive, they should have used magic earlier.
Isn’t there some kind of spell for attacking?
Or maybe, these mages are subordinates, which is why they are unable to do so.
They frowned when I grinned cynically.
‘Those bastards.’
I attempted to hide my pain and maintain a calm demeanor.
So, what should I do next? Both sides can’t move hastily, so it’s perfect if there’s an outside intervention.
For example, maybe a prince on a white horse could come and save me.… Oh, right. The crown prince of this country was originally going to be Liliel’s.
I didn’t know what will happen now and I don’t care.
What are the chances that Marquess Lahrat will save me? We had just met before, so the chances are very low.
Because of the loud gunfire, the police or knights may have heard it, but it was unreasonable to expect them to appear.
If there is no one patrolling near me right now, it will take some time for them to find me.
I’m ruined.
There is simply no way out.
Ugh, someone please intervene!
Suddenly, I felt the presence of someone behind my back with murderous intents.
This person must be really, really dangerous.
I turned around at once and pulled the trigger. At that moment, I could hear a loud shout. I thought I accidentally pressed the trigger but it wasn’t like that.
Bam!
It sounded like someone was being beaten up.
“Ahh!”
And it was accompanied by a horrifying scream.
I blinked slowly.
‘What happened?’
I turned my head slightly and checked the mages behind me.
I saw all seven of them dead. They are now beyond recognition, in a really terrible way.
Surprised, I quickly looked to the front again.
“…….”
The surroundings quickly became silent as the person who did this in just one second stood facing me.
I thought he had murderous intention towards me, but now that the mages were dealt with, I could no longer feel the murderous intention.
However, the problem was not solved. This person was also a mage. An extremely powerful mage.
***
As my body weakened, I got restless.
I tried to be calm since the situation was not over yet. This was because another mage appeared, and he was about to do something to me.
Fortunately, he appeared to be in pain from a gunshot wound. I could see that the bullet hit his abdomen.
The mage with a white robe stumbled a little. His white robe was dripping with red blood.
I asked him,
“Do you have the same purpose?”
I didn’t expect any response. I assumed he’d be like the others before him.
“… No.”
But the answer unexpectedly came back. Although his words were suppressed as he was holding back the pain.
I flinched and took a step back.
“Then why did you deal with the mages?”
I didn’t hear the answer this time. It’s because the mage tried to take the bullet in his abdomen out with his own hands.
I didn’t show it, but I screamed inside. Is he crazy? Who would pull a bullet like that?
“What are you up to? Are you trying to distract me? Don’t do anything weird and answer the questions.”
I frowned and pressed him. The person looked so weak, I thought about escaping since he was in this state. But not long after,
“Looks like it’s near here!”
What I wanted occurred. The police or knights must have almost arrived here.
I quickly headed the gun into the air and pulled the trigger. There was a loud noise. Now they will know my location well.
The injured mage seemed to be in agony for a while. Then, all of a sudden, he drew a very complicated magic circle around his feet.
The mage was enveloped in light, and then he vanished.
And leave only one bullet in his place.
‘What is this… I thought he failed to take out the bullet.’
I tried to recall more of the magical knowledge I had read in the novel. But soon I couldn’t handle it. My body lost strength and I sat down.
It felt like someone grabbed my heart and twisted it. I tried so hard to breathe. In the meantime, the knights came and found me.
My hearing was temporarily paralyzed, so I couldn’t hear well what they were saying.
I closed my eyes and felt the pain fade away as my vision went black.
***
When I woke up again, I was in my house. Liliel was next to me.
“Vianne! You woke up?”
I nodded, roughly sweeping my tangled hair. What happened?
I had a splitting headache.
“You slept for 2 days! Oh my. Do you know how worried I was?”
“Two days?”
“Yes, two days! When I woke up in the morning, the imperial knights came to my house. I went out wondering what was going on, and turns out, they were investigating a case of someone being attacked by a mage the night before.”
Liliel couldn’t even finish his words properly. At the same time, I looked carefully at myself.
“You know that the imperial knights are dead set to subdue the mages, right? I can imagine how big of a deal it was that they came in person.”
“…… Right. It certainly wasn’t a small thing.”
There was a genius mage who triggers a magic circle in just a few seconds, and seven other mages. I shot and killed two of them.
It was such an unrealistic story that I could only laugh. If I go to the imperial knights and make a statement like this, I think I’ll be treated as a lunatic.
