“Observe…”
‘Should I be pleased that there’s no need to fight? Or should I be amazed with Master who says such a thing?’
‘Something was strange either way’, Tiera thought, as her eyebrows furrowed.
Aloof from Tiera’s worries, Schnee continued walking towards the castle.
Because Tiera heard that the Princess was forced to transpose, she thought that the castle would be in confusion. However, the guards didn’t have the appearance of a panicked state.
“Master, we don’t have permits, will we be all right?”
“No problem, because we won’t use the gate to begin with.”
“Eh?”
A question mark floated from Tiera at Schnee’s words.
Schnee then advanced towards the direction where it was different from the gate.
Though Tiera didn’t understand Schnee’s intention either, she followed her for the time being. Schnee, who walked along the wall for a while, the moment there were no people in the area, she activated a magic skill.
“【Hiding】”
The figures of the two people disappeared with the effect.
Coupled with the bonus effect of Kunoichi, which was Schnee’s main job, they would only be discovered in extreme circumstances.
“My appearance is concealed…Don’t tell me…?”
“You are correct. Hold on a little, because we are going to jump.”
Saying so, Schnee held Tiera in her arms and kicked-off the ground.
“Eek!――――”
Without crushing the ground, Schnee and Tiera appeared to fly up gently.
However, Tiera’s scream was forcibly halted from the sudden wind pressure. Though no one would hear it even if she screamed due to the effect of 【Hiding】, if possible she wanted some time to be prepared.
“One step is not enough after all, huh?”
Besides Tiera who thought about these kind of things, Schnee calmly calculated the distance to the top of the wall.
Because she jumped while holding Tiera, she wouldn’t have arrived at the top if she kept going as is. Since it couldn’t be helped, she put her feet on the wall and kicked with her strength.
Movement system martial arts skill 【Wall Run】. With a fixed number of steps, it was a skill that let one run vertically on a wall temporarily when invoked and maintain the foothold.
From that one step, Schnee soundlessly ran up the wall.
“Master, didn’t you make a strange jump just now?”
“It’s a skill that can make foothold on a wall. It’s very convenient.”
“I-I see…”
From Tiera’s point of view, who often had combat training, she wondered ‘will there ever be an opportunity to use a wall as a foothold like that?’ She expected that it was related to a job.
When Tiera asked about Schnee’s job before, she received a single phrase: “It’s a secret.” instead.
“Well then, let’s go down. It’s dangerous if you don’t hang on.”
Regardless of what Tiera thought, Schnee jumped into the air without faltering.
“Ah, ye-AAAAH!”
Tiera screamed from the sudden fall, but Schnee didn’t mind for the time being. Schnee often did this type of fall together with Shin.
Though she jumped off from about the height of an average building, Schnee landed soundlessly, just like when she got on the wall. After she lowered Tiera, Schnee began to walk with silent footsteps right away.
To Tiera who was kneeling on the ground, holding her chest, and was out of breath, the next words that came out from Schnee mercilessly pierced her.
“Now, it’s time to sneak into the castle.”
“Ye-Yes…”
While recalling her past days of Spartan training, Tiera obediently followed after Schnee.
(Even if Shin returned, Master is still Master…)
Schnee was completely ignorant of Tiera who thought about such a thing.
◆◆◆◆
Now, Schnee and Tiera stepped inside the castle. However, their appearances were not to move sneakily like someone suspicious. In fact, they acted in a very bold way.
They entered the castle’s front gate after a little walking from the wall, and advanced through the passage where the knights and civil officers were going back and forth. They were moving as if they were in a totally open plain.
“Um, where are we going, Master?”
“To the prison cell. I’m going to remove the abnormal statuses on Cardinal Greyl.”
“Well, um, don’t we need to defeat the said demon before?”
“No problem. I already caught it.”
“Master is too amazing…”
While talking with Schnee who answered indifferently, Tiera thought, ‘Demon, it’s over for you.’
There were certainly soldiers who were on patrol and on guard duty. However, there was no one powerful enough that could see through Schnee’s 【Hiding】, and Schnee assumed that there was no need to patrol inside a castle in broad daylight.
‘It was too easy,’ thought Tiera who knew of Schnee’s capabilities, but she held back her question about whether if it was all right to have advanced so easily like this.
Even the demon wouldn’t expect this kind of development.
And then――.
“We have arrived…”
After a several

Shin decided to leave the Bayreuth matter to Schnee, and turned around toward Rionne again.
“(Then that’s good. Some
