My 【Repair】Skill Became an Almighty Cheat Skill, So I Thought I'd Open Up a Weapon Shop

- Shortly after the meeting, Noir and Sakura followed the garrison of adventurers.

The destination is a pre-examined human settlement.

Even though Algernon refused to see him, the very information about where the humans lived was public information that was revealed without being wrapped around the entire Athlopolis.

In this town, humans are no different from other demons and are only part of a few inhabitants, so the residential area is on the public map without any special or discriminatory treatment.

Noir and Sakura rely on the maps obtained and walk down the back streets of Athlopolis as if the forest and town had merged.

"Somehow, I think you're losing sight of what you can point at from around you. Do we become familiar with human settlements when they are nearby?"

Sakura looks around as she walks.

When I was going down the boulevard, I was being looked at with curiosity and interest from all directions, but it was fading as the neighbourhood approached.

Sometimes there will simply be a small crowd, but there is an increasing proportion of demons who do not show interest in this one, even if they subtract it.

"... uh, this is never a serious question"

Sakura spoke carefully-as she strided against the noir, who kept walking silently.

"What if Bran, the White Wizard, were alive... then what is Lord Noir going to do?

…………

"Oh, no, of course not. I don't think we should do this kind of thing, even if we're not going to talk about it. I just... I was hoping I could help."

"... Ah, yes, thank you..."

Noir swam his downward gaze and hesitated to look at Sakura, speaking in reply to the inquiry.

"What if... Bran was alive... and nothing changed... and when... again, I... settled..."

Noir's hand, turned in front of his leg, clenches his fist all the way.

"So, but it's also possible that you just reflected! Humans, if there's a strong trigger, it's a change of mind!

Sakura was anxious to elicit more responses than she had expected, and dared to bring up optimistic opinions.

Noir once felt responsible for Blanc's descent into the Demon King's Army gates to survive, imposing on himself the mission of defeating it with his own hands - and accomplishing it with the help of the adventurer Misty Hidden.

He seemed to take it for granted, but it's also true that many broke their hearts at the end that twin sisters would kill each other, starting with Luke, who could also be Blanc's victim.

Sakura was no exception again and couldn't help but feel repellent about letting her kill her second sister.

- So, although I didn't put it out in my mouth and tell it, I was thinking in my heart that I should wave the blade.

If Bran hasn't changed one thing from before and doesn't stop hostility with humans on the ground, including noir, then he's trying to get his hands dirty.

I'm sure I'm the right person. Sakura was so sure.

Noir and I fought together more than once, but the usual activities are greatly off the staff of adventurers and weapons stores.

Even if I put Bran in my hand, the shadows that fall on Noir's heart will also be smaller than not seeing each other frequently in everyday life.

Besides, any time - at least in a few years' time, we will be taking the fruits of our quest for divine descent back to the Oriental Continent and saying goodbye to this country without corruption.

"Assuming Blanc was reflecting on his own deeds, would he then take him back to earth to receive formal atonement... or would he keep his figure in Athlopolis?"

"Uh, so... but..."

"It's only one option. Back to saying we're tightening it out of the ground, it would also be a response to the opinion that we should punish her. Of course I don't have the right to speak up."

If it makes Noir feel any easier...... Sakura thought that way and overlapped the words.

It never feels good to be able to dictate to myself, a Gentile, the treatment of sinners in this country, but still smear my heart at my friend's readiness to kill my sister.

Then it would be much easier to get this hand dirty instead.

"Whoa... that's the neighborhood."

As we walked in talking, we reached near our destination at some point.

Wooden walls - not so-called hedges, but artificial wooden walls made of a combination of wood surround a whole section to block the interior from the perimeter.

Although the walls were quite high, the dwellings of the trees growing on the inside were higher than that, allowing us to visualize the upper half without having to peek in.

"Uhm, you can only see the windows on the top floor of the building from here"

"... on the wall, climbing, is...?

"I can afford to run it, but I can definitely blame you. You could be charged with trespassing before the intelligence ban."

Sakura glanced around for a moment, then crossed the road from the settlement and laid eyes on the building on the other side.

"... yes! Using the building windows across the street, you might get a glimpse of nature and what's going on inside!... No, but there's a way to get permission to enter that building..."

With Sakura on her ass twisting her neck and thinking of measures, Noir kept staring at the trees in the wall.

At that time, one of the wooden window doors that had been closed was opened from the inside.

For ventilation or for lighting?

At least there was no doubt that there was someone in that room, and Noir gazed at him with the slightest possibility.

- What opened the window was the human-like appearance of a deep hood.

I can't see my face very well, but the left sleeve of my jacket is hanging loosely, and my right hand alone seems to be struggling to fix the window door.

The left sleeve of the jacket was obviously empty, it was not just feather-woven without passing through the arms, it was obvious that there was no such thing as should be put through the sleeve itself.

Eventually, the person stepped out the window in an attempt to stretch his arms a little further.

The hood slips slightly on the clap and the sides become exposed.

- Oh, I knew.

My head understood that I should move carefully.

I was telling myself that I should be thorough with observations and not do inadvertent things, even if there was something unexpected.

But Noir was unable to indulge in the cry that protruded from the bottom of his heart.

"Blanc!"

Words that came out with an accidental mouth. The name of the twin sister who split the blood.

Sakura looks back to her surprise, and the window shadow looks hackingly into the street.

The face - a white face very similar to the noir - peeled away at the unspeakable surprise and fear and was frightened.
