Riz who was like being hit by a mental attack seemed to shout in his heart.
‘Mererka really wants to get me killed’
Jack asked Riz again.
“So, how? You remember who you came here with, right?”
“A–I remember! But, if what Jack-sama means is the sword man without the scabbard…I don't think he and his friends will be able to get into this place because they were prevented by uncle Will” explained Riz with a panicked facial expression
“I know that, but you heard what Lucy said just now, right? The proof is now that my power is gone. Is it true that a person with such injuries can mutter and then run away from the room like they have magic? If magic existed in this world, I would immediately switch professions from merchant to magician”
“.....” Riz could not answer it
Now, he began to think of an unreasonable prejudice of his own.
‘Arkan told me that Kaito killed Justin so easily. It meant that he did have such great fighting ability.could it be that he fought with Uncle Will and managed to get into this place after defeating him? But.that's uncle Will! He is strong and has a bigger body than Justin. There was no way he could defeat her alone!’
All the thoughts in Riz's brain made him even more anxious.
‘But I just needed to take my money and buy the teenager to take him away! In this case, the exchange and the transaction can be canceled!’
Riz looked at Jack's face which was still smiling casually.
“Ja–Jack-sama..now, what will you do? Is the exchange...cancelled and you intend to recapture those three people?” Riz asked fearfully
“Of course not. For the two angels Justin has been neglected. But..”

Riz saw the look of cold eyes from Jack's face. The same feeling he felt above before. The killing aura, that was what Jack's sharp face and eyes showed. His smile disappeared changing with a cold gaze and his tone explained that.
“...I want the teenager back. Even if I lose control of myself, don't blame me if I accidentally kill him”
“Ta–ta–tapi..didn't you say that you will wait until–“.
“Because of that, you have to help me get it back. After that, you can buy it while there's still time. For that teenager, I will not tolerate anything. Transaction only with cash” purchases
Riz was already convinced by now, that the way he had was only with the money line.
Jack started walking towards the main street of the black market.
“Come, if lucky we can still catch up with him”
“What does that mean?” Riz asked with a confused face
“If my guess is correct, your friend who barged in was still around this place. And the only way out is by passing through the gate in front. If they're unlucky, they should meet my wife later”

On the black market main road, Arkan is still distressed by his current situation. Not only did she have to think where she could find Stelani and Fabil, but she had to see the beautiful woman beside her dancing around with her recently killed head employee as a dance partner.
“Will, look! I turn your head like this! When you were alive, you were taller than me. Now I am taller than you and you are smaller~”
“Can Seren-sama not play around with a human head like that? They're disgusting and horrible!” Arkan tried to cover his mouth with both hands
Seren who heard that immediately looked towards Arkan and said in a cold tone.
“People who have dropped my cookies and tea are better off staying quiet. I don't want to talk to you, you handsome guy has no heart!”
“Wa–!” Arkan was shocked and was eager to shout to hear it
“Not. Singles don't have hearts. That's why you're not married yet. Look at my sweet husband. Although he is younger by a year than you but he has married a beautiful daughter like me” continued Seren in a cold tone
- Jleb
The cold sentence from Seren actually made a mental attack for Arkan. Arkan chose to be silent and reproached her inwardly.
‘Basic psychopathic couple! Of course he can only marry a psychopath like you too! Any normal woman would want to marry a murderer and a corpse maniac! Stressful people know that he is dangerous! Crazy woman!’
“Ta–but, just now Seren-sama was still talking to me normally” Arkan asked to make the woman not act cold to him
“So yes earlier, now yes now”
“.....” Arkan just silent with a strange face
Already unwilling to argue for unnecessary things, Arkan picked up the bag of supplies he dropped and ran towards where Jack was.
Seren with his swift movements managed to stop Arkan by pulling his hand.
“Where are you?” seren asked as he hugged Will's head with the other hand
“I have to go back to Jack-sama's place! It's possible the kids are still there!”
“You think they'll go where they're being held? That's a very funny thought, Arkan”
“Tapi–“
“Should not have been there you ran but in this direction” Seren let go of Arkan's hand and pointed the way behind him
It was the direction towards the gate, the only access to get out of the place.
“That path...the path to the gate..”.
“The gatekeeper is indeed dead, but with the key that has not been retrieved most likely they still can not get out of this place. I told you that, right? Why did you forget about it so quickly?”
“La–then, what about the culprit who killed that gatekeeper?!”
“Their possibility of going to my husband's place could have happened. But they're not necessarily there either. I explained that too earlier”
“Means?”
“I just guessed. I don't know where they are either. Clearly, they're inside this place and even if you're looking for them, you're just going to stay away from them because you're most likely to vote
different roads”
Arkan who heard Seren's words began to lose control of himself and shouted while being seen
emotion.
“Why so troublesome like this!! It's all because of that gorilla! If only he had not gone to your place and asked for help to capture Kaito, none of this would have happened!! Fuckin' shit! It's dead still makes others bother! Even I still have to think how to explain to the manager about the bar that was destroyed when I returned later because of the action too!!”
Seren hears something that draws his attention from all of Arkan's heart.
“Arkan, did you mention Kaito's name? Who is Kaito?”
- Deg
“Eh?” Arkan regained his senses and put on a panicked face
Seren remembers the Arkan words.
[I'm not sure I can tell you his name but if it's just physical traits I might still be able to give it to you]
Seren clearly remembered all of that and he finally found out.
“So, the name of the sword man without the sword sheath is Kaito ya”
“A..it...umm...” Arkan becomes nervous and panicked instantly.
“Nee~is the sword man without the sword sheath actually named Kaito?”
“.....” Arkan did not answer it and only took one step back
“So right ya Kaito. Means he killed Will and cut off his head with a pretty slash like this?” seren asked again with a gentle tone and a sweet smile
“...A–aku not sure but..mu–maybe..”
“Huwaa~I love this cut. He must have gotten used to fighting. He killed Justin too, right? Approximately can meet him also not ya~”
Now Arkan is really in trouble.
‘God, if you still love my life and all of them.I beg you no matter what happens, don't let that psychopathic couple meet Kaito or we'll all be facing you any minute! Please don't let that happen!’ Arkan prayed in his heart
Seren who was happy already knew the name of the man who had been his target was circling around and dancing around again with Will's head.
“Nee, Will.you were killed by the man who was once our target. He's strong, isn't he? You could die like this”
Arkan who saw the ‘death’ dance turned pale and quickly, he immediately ran towards the direction of the gate.
“Arkan?” Seren stops dancing and calls Arkan who leaves him
‘I don't have time to serve that crazy woman and all her bullshit! It's up to me whether I can meet those kids at the gate or not! What is clear, I have to make sure they are safe and not involved in any problems!’ think Arkan in the heart
Arkan no longer cared about Seren who was left behind.
Seeing Arkan leave her, Seren only sighed while hugging Will's head in his arms.
“Nee, would you like to meet a man named Kaito? If you want, come with me. Yes” Seren talks to himself with Will's head while smiling
Leisurely, he walked towards the exit gate with a sweet smile.
“I wish I could meet that Kaito. Hmm~hmm~hmm~” Seren says while humming

Ryou ran as fast as he could while pushing the wagon. Kaito who was running behind him started to notice Ryou's speed starting to slow down.
‘It seems Ryou has started to fatigue’ muttered Kaito in heart
“Ryou-niichan, we turn left after this to get to the road!” yelled Fabil who was running beside Ryou
“Aa!” answer Ryou
“Ryou, are you okay?” ask Kaito who ran behind him
“Kaito-niisan? Is there something?” Stelani who was carried by Kaito asked as she looked towards Ryou
The little girl looked at the back of the big brother who was pushing the wagon with all her might. Not long after, he noticed the running leg was beginning to look slowed down.
“Ryou-niisan..fatigue...” says Stelani slowly.
Kaito who heard the little mutter the girl shouted calling Ryou back while increasing his speed.
“Ryou! If you're tired, we can take turns bringing it! In a moment we will return to the main road of this area and–“
“Don't think to stop before we make it out of this place!” ryou replied with sharp eyes
“Ryou..”
“I won't let my brother die.”.
Ryou looked towards the wagon and prayed inwardly.
‘We-sama, save Nii-san. I beg you, save Nii-san!’
Fabil pointed to the left in front of him and Ryou quickly set the distance in order to deflect the cart he was pushing.
After that, they did not lower their speed and ran until the end of the alley was seen.
“Front then turn right and we will reach the road earlier!” yelled Fabil
“I know!” answer Ryou
As they made it out of the alley, it was seen that they had reached the street where the four had met just a moment ago. It was the main street of the black market area.
From here, the only thing was to run straight in order to get to the gate and get out of that place.
“Live a little more and we'll get out of here!. After that, I will take you to the hospital and everything will be fine! Hang on, Nii-san!” ryou said
His face showed panic and anxiety, but it was not all that important to think about.
While running, they passed through a familiar place. Fabil who was getting tired noticed the streets he passed.
‘Blood?’ he murmured in the heart
The boy noticed Ryou and Kaito's clothes behind him which were filled with bloodstains. He also remembered what the two people had said.
‘Ryou-niichan and Kaito-niichan fight and defeat the big man. That means..’
Just beginning to guess, Fabil cried out and stopped when he saw the headless body with blood that flooded around his corpse.
“Waaa!!”
Fabil stopped and was terrified. Suddenly it made Ryou who was already a little in front of him stop, as well as Kaito who carried Stelani behind him.
“Fabil, why call….Aaah!!” Stelani screams and hides behind Kaito's back
Kaito could not stop the little girl's screaming voice which was enough to make her ears hurt. He looked to the side of the road.
“That's the gatekeeper's corpse. He's dead, no need to worry” said Kaito trying to calm the little girl
“But...but there is no head!!” Stelani replied with a trembling body
“Take it easy. His head is in..eh?”
Kaito realized something. He looked around the place and found something unexpected.
“His head...nothing? Besides..”
Right, though faint there were footprints made of blood there. Kaito instantly turned into a panic.
“Ryou! We have to be careful from here!” yell Kaito
“We don't have time to be in this place any longer, Kaito! I must immediately save Kino or–“
“There are people who have walked in front of us!”
“Eh?”
“In front there.there are others who have been waiting for us”.
Instantly they all instantly turned pale and the atmosphere turned tense.
