Brave World, I report to the police station in red at the beginning

"Well, the next commission won't come so soon anyway, so let's deal with the card issue first."

...

At the same time, outside Li Mengyu's house, an office worker carrying a briefcase checked the address on the note in his hand, then glanced at the "No One Home" sign hanging on the door and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

But today, whether I can meet Li Mengyu who has returned depends on my luck.

...

Originally, Li Mengyu wanted to use the special reaction of the card to find out what caused the card to have a similar reaction.

But it seems to have little effect.

I searched the streets of Kagawa Prefecture for many times, but apart from the fact that the card became abnormally hot when I first arrived at this place, there was no other reaction at all.

In a blink of an eye, it was lunch time and I ate at a fast food restaurant.

He had enough money on him, so the embarrassment that might have occurred before should not occur now.

“It feels like I’m just wandering around if I just keep walking like this.”

Li Mengyu sighed helplessly.

If time permits... he has to pick up Qian Jing in the evening, and he also wants to make a trip to Hokkaido.

If he really wanted to go there, he would probably have to bring Qian Jing with him. Otherwise, it was so far away and if something happened to Qian Jing, he really wouldn't be able to get back in time.

"Just like what Your Highness said, I really am a worrier."

When saying this, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Li Mengyu's eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

The "Her Highness" he was talking about was the princess of the country that summoned him as a hero.

To him, she is a lovely, strong and reliable partner.

When I first came to that world, that prince really took good care of me.

Li Mengyu still can't help laughing when she recalls the scene at that time.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, I was only 16 years old at the time."

Li Mengyu suddenly stopped. Just as she was passing an intersection, the card in her pocket shook abnormally.

It seems that I have to put off reminiscing about the past until later, as the present is more important.

Without hesitation, he turned towards the place that caused the card reaction. It was a small alley... with almost no one visiting.

"Speaking of which... there are too many alleys and lanes here."

Li Mengyu couldn't help but complain, but fortunately it seemed that she had found the right path, and the cards would give hints when the road turned left or right.

After turning countless times, Li Mengyu finally saw a woman in a kimono.

Is that thing really a human figure? Li Mengyu always felt it was strange.

After Li Mengyu's gaze became focused, she raised her brows slightly.

That was not the figure of a woman at all, but a skeleton wearing a kimono and still moving.

"So, your fever is leading me to a monster?"

The ominous sword fell into Li Mengyu's hands, and he rolled his eyes at the card of the Seven Guardians.

It seems that it is probably impossible to find the origin or something, but... it’s okay to use it as a monster-hunting radar. If it is useful next time, I will keep it as a permanent equipment.

Because it was surrounded by walls on all sides, there was not much space available for movement, and it was probably impossible for Li Mengyu to use large-scale attack magic.

But the good thing is that Jun Qianjing is not around this time. She holds the sword with both hands and gets ready. She can use some sword skills that she cannot see at this stage.

However, the skeleton opposite did not seem to have any intention of fighting with Li Mengyu, and kept waving at Li Mengyu.

"Huh? What is this? A monster begging for mercy?"

There was no mercy in Li Mengyu's eyes.

"I'm sorry, I don't plan to say anything nonsense about monsters, and I won't be as chaste as the protagonist in a comic book!"

He took a step forward, and a turquoise emblem appeared behind him.

This is the specialty of a thief who is skilled in using the power of the wind elemental emblem.

Li Mengyu shortened the distance between himself and the skeleton in an instant and chopped the skeleton's head with the sword normally.

The skeleton's first reaction was naturally to block with his arms. A layer of something like a bone shield appeared above his arms, but when the sword was about to fall on the bone shield.

Li Mengyu, who had been in a downward posture, appeared under the raised arm of the skeleton, and the sword in his hand was not intended to chop down, but to chop up.

"Refracting Sword."

This is the name of this sword technique. It constructs an illusory attack by manipulating the wind element. The real body is hidden in another layer of wind barrier that can interfere with the opponent's vision, and launches an unexpected slash.

A dirty word was highlighted.

Children cannot learn this.

He suffered a great loss when he encountered this move for the first time, and later he spent a lot of money to learn this move. Unfortunately, at that time, it was forbidden to use it because the routine was too dirty when combined with another move, which damaged the glorious image of a brave man in front of the soldiers.

Although it has no vocal organs, the skeleton still let out a miserable scream.

Li Mengyu cut off half of the bony palm. To Li Mengyu's surprise, the skeleton's first reaction after losing half of its palm was to turn around and run away, with no intention of fighting with him at all.

Just when Li Mengyu was about to catch up, the fallen half of the bone palm suddenly flew out and grabbed his leg.

Although the damage was not serious, it was indeed quite scary.

After shaking off the half-bone palm, Li Mengyu could only see a distant figure when she chased the fleeing skeleton.

After the skeleton climbed over a wall, Li Mengyu finally lost track of it.

Even the seven defensive cards lost their reaction, because they had encountered too many enemies who fought desperately, and suddenly encountered one who ran away without hesitation, and were caught by the body's instinctive defensive action.

In short, I lost track of it and was fooled by a weak skeleton with extremely low defense, not very strong strength, and seemingly no special abilities.

"...Jun Qianjing must not know about this."

It damages your majestic image in front of children.

"Speaking of which, here now..."

Li Mengyu looked around at the scene. He was only focused on the chase and didn't pay any attention to the surrounding scene.

"Playground, teaching building, gymnasium..."

"Hey! How did you get in?!"

The security guard in the security room uniform blew the whistle hanging on his chest.

This seemed to be an elementary school, and he was treated as a suspicious person.

Chapter 25: An Encounter That Will Go Down in Dark History

"Where did you go? There's no way that person can disappear in front of me?!"

Li Mengyu held her breath and used wind magic to completely cover up her figure and traces, not daring to breathe.

It was the first time he encountered a school security guard. He was over two meters tall, had eight-pack abs, and his muscles were so muscular that they were about to burst through his security uniform. He held a bullet-proof baton in his hand... He always felt that if he didn't use the power of the emblem, this guy would easily smash his head.

This is the first time he has seen a security guard with the Terminator style. Do all security guards in big cities look like this? (Fog)

In fact, it's not impossible for him to run away now, but... the skeleton finally disappeared here, and this is the school... What if someone gets hurt because he drove the skeleton here?

We really can't just leave it like this.

Fortunately, the burly security guard was just an ordinary person after all, and Li Mengyu's hiding ability was also not weak. The security guard searched for a long time without finding her, so he let her go... but did not give up.

He actually sat directly in front of the teaching building?

There is a momentum of one man blocking the way for ten thousand men.

He is a respectable security guard. If Li Mengyu was not an extraordinary person, this look would be perfectly fine for intimidating those villains.

Then I saw the security guard being severely scolded by a middle-aged security guard who was half a body shorter than him.

"How can you sit right in front of the teaching building?! Don't scare the students! Even if there really is someone, we are paid so little, there is no need to risk our lives."

He was dragged back to the security room.

Yes, in this era... there are not even many cameras.

After confirming it was safe, Li Mengyu showed up.

This is probably the case with many people. Everything they insist on will eventually be worn away by reality.

"Suddenly...it appeared."

A soft and sticky voice came from the warehouse door behind Li Mengyu.

shock!

The place where Li Mengyu chose to hide was actually the door of the equipment room near the gymnasium.

He was just in a state with his palms against the door and his back against the door.

The security guard was right in front of me at the time. If I had opened the door and hid in, I would have been discovered... and the door was closed.

Li Mengyu never thought that there would be someone inside.

He turned his head stiffly and met the eyes of the girl with black pupils.

With the corner of his mouth twitching slightly, he placed his index finger on his lips.

"Shhh."

"You want to do something to me, Mr. Pervert?"

"No, and I'm not a pervert."

I tried to keep my voice down as much as possible, as I was traumatized by the burly security guard.

"I'm a... Onmyoji, I'm here chasing monsters."

The girl took a look at Li Mengyu's outfit of a sweatshirt and jacket, jeans, and sneakers.

Although she didn't say anything, her little eyes were filled with doubt.

"But if that's the case, why are you hiding from the security guard?"

"That guy's figure is scarier than a monster, how did he train to be like this?"

Li Mengyu covered her mouth when she realized that she was a little excited. If she spoke too loudly, the burly security guard might appear behind her.

"When I first met the security guard, I was also shocked, but he is actually a very nice and gentle person... If you are still a little worried, let's talk inside."

The girl pushed open the door and let Li Mengyu in.

"Don't be so easy as to trust a stranger. You have to be cautious, okay? Be cautious!"

Look at this guy, he started to scold the girl as soon as he was let in.

"I...think Pervert-san is a good person."

Li Mengyu touched his nose uncomfortably when being stared at by the girl.

"Why is he still a pervert? I told you I'm here to catch monsters, but I feel like the security guard won't believe me even if I tell him, so I'm avoiding him."

"It's really hard to believe something like this, but I believe you, pervert-san."

"So could you please not use that name?"

A sweet smile appeared on the girl's lips.

"No."

Don't say such hurtful words with a smiling face.

"Forget it, forget it. Call me that if you want. Just believe what I say."

"Because, I saw Pervert-san suddenly disappear and suddenly reappear."

So it was completely seen by others, right?
