... live free!

Ardine and Elena stopped about five minutes after entering the sidewalk, as did the men who followed behind them a short distance away. And Aldin looked back.

"This is all you need to do so far. Follow me from behind, you guys, on guard."

"" "" "Yes" ""

When I heard the conversation, I heard Aldin's movements while hiding in the shadows, thinking that the position was unpleasant.

"Come on, Elena, lead me to your house."

"Huh?

Mr. Elena was pulling her face together with a hard look on her face.

(It may not taste good if it stays like this... I need to figure out some good way)

and was wondering how Elena was doing with that in mind.

"I have no right of veto. Show them the way."

Then Aldin took her right hand to Mr. Elena's neck and put the knife in her hand to Mr. Elena's neck.

"If you refuse, cut it off"

"Yes!

"... good reply. Move before the guards get here."

When Aldin said so, he urged Mr. Elena as he lowered the knife he was putting on his neck to show off the knife. That's how I started walking. Following Elena, the men also started walking while keeping a certain distance from Aldine. The men are walking around checking what Aldin says is going on behind them. Are those men Aldine's men? and follow carefully so that you can't find it with that in mind.

Well, how do we help Mr. Elena? Elena's about 30 meters to the front, and the guys are about 15 to 20 meters to the front? I find it a little hard to discover about me even if I have a good night's eye because it's dark around. I don't know how close I can get... Aldine and Elena seem a little far apart. Maybe about a meter away? I think I'm far enough away to be able to cut Mr. Elena off if I wave her arm. Hopefully, I'd be glad to stay away for a little while... Or the opponent's movement stops a little...

"(Hmm?... stop the movement a little?

If we're gonna stop moving a little, maybe if we blind ourselves with a strong light, we can go?... Aldine's movement should stop if we even get it out in front of Aldine, right? Mr. Elena's in front of us, so if we don't turn around, maybe we'll be okay, and the other guys are blind for a little while, okay? However, in Aldine's case, I worry about losing my sight and wielding a knife.

(Well, I'll do my best to protect Mr. Elena there!

So determined, when I checked Aldine's position and then hid in the shadows, I let Aldine's foresight shine for a moment.
