Chapter 3: Encounter
A woman in a cape that blends with the surroundings is swiftly passing in different tracker zones and suddenly hears a voice inside her head.
[ Kennen huh? ]
The woman put her two fingers on her forehead and started speaking. She is jumping between trees while talking to Kennen.
[ I am currently chasing someone. If that's not important turn off your attribute— ]
[ Oh, already? Is the princess included in that someone? ]
[ Very well, tell me more. ]
[ No, you tell me how much you know first. ]
[ Saxon said— ]

Back in the time when I ran away from the guy I once fought.
[ I don't want to do this, but I should ask my older sister to do something. ]
[ Silver Attribute: Daggers ]
A silver dagger appears out of thin air, and—
[ Silver Dagger Attribute: Pursuit ]
That one silver dagger wanders around the kingdom until it finds its way to the room where Kennen is in. That silver dagger is floating in front of his face.
[ Hmm? Saxon? I wonder why. ]
[ Tracker Attribute: Contact Tracer. ]
[ Nice, there it is— my dear older brother. ]
[ What do you need Saxon? The dagger you sent is awfully close to my eyes, planning to kill me perhaps? ]
[ Oh not at all, it's just that my dagger is attracted to your shiny silver eyes. ]
[ I know I am handsome but this is too much. ]
[ Anyways, my dear brother, can you connect me to our older sister? ]
[ Ok then. ]
[ Tracker Attribute: Contact Tracer ]
[ Saxon, I'm gonna hang up now— there's something interesting happening in the tracker zone. ]
[ Alright, thank you. ]

[ What is it, Saxon? ]
[ Sister, I fought a foreigner, a strange one. ]
[ I see, tell me more. ]
[ That foreigner looks like a teenager and has a height of 5'5. His hair color is white, his clothes are rather strange— it has a unique pattern all over them but they're mostly colored white, and his pupils got me the most interested. It has the shape of a four-pointed star with the color yellow. ]
[ I see, so what do you want me to do with this one? ]
[ Wait there's more— Assume that he has two attributes, and I heard two voices from him as well. ]
[ So that's why you're asking for my help? ]
[ I can kill him anytime I want to- but I have to find the princess first, right? ]
[ Indeed, you sure got your priorities straight Saxon. Leave the foreigner to me, and continue searching for the princess. ]
[ Alright Alright. I will check the outskirts of the kingdom to make sure she won't go anywhere, as for the foreigner. I don't know the exact place he went to, but he'll surely be in either Crezesia District, Gelatin District, or Lamiole District. ]
[ Ok then, do yours properly. ]
Saxon removes his finger from his forehead and starts walking towards the outskirts of the kingdom. As for her older sister, she emptied the wine she was drinking in one gulp.
[ Waiter, I'll be on my way now. As for the price I have to pay, I am Leto Hitman. ]
The waiter replies with [ I see, please come again. ]
Leto stands up and goes outside the bar-
[ Disturbing my precious wine time. That foreigner will surely get something from me. ]
And started running towards the locations Saxon said.

[ So that's all I know, Kennen. ]
[ I am pretty sure the foreigner Saxon fought and the foreigner I saw going to the Crezesia District is the same. ]
[ Crezesia District I see. ]
The woman pauses for a while, looks around the forest, and changes the direction she's going.
[ I'm on my way there. Now, as for the princess? ]
[ The princess is in the same location as the foreigner and in fact, they're together. ]
[ Tsk. ]
The woman removes her finger from her forehead and increases her running speed.
[ Disturbing my wine time and laying your hand on the princess. You'll pay foreigner. ]

While I am running around carrying the frightened girl with me, my eyes meet a distant gate with a sign saying, "Crezesia District."
[ Looks like that's the way out of this forest. ]
I gathered all speed in my feet and came running to the gate. I reached the gate but my path beyond the gate was blocked by a guard wearing red light armor with the letter "V" at its center.
[ Please let us in. ]
[ Sure, where's the letter from the mayor of your district? ]
While thinking of an excuse, I noticed the guard looking at the girl I am carrying-
[ Oh I see how it is, kindly wait here, I'll let you in in a moment. ]
Astonished, I replied-
[ Thank you so much!!! ]
I rest my legs on the grass and gently put down the unconscious girl.
[ I am so tired- ]
[ Are you sure you should be letting your guard down now huh? Chiaro-kun? ]
[ I am not letting my guard down, a rest shouldn't be that bad. ]
[ Oh? Well do what you want, just keep in mind you don't have a single ally in this world. ]
[ Now that you've said that, you are right. I don't have one yet.. ]
I stare at the beautiful night sky that contains 11 bright stars and raise my hand as if I am catching a star-
[ I will have allies that'll help me in this world, I guarantee you that. ]
[ Oh how cute, alright then, good luck Chiaro- ]
[ Stand up now, they're coming. ]
I stand up and prepare to carry the girl-
[ Thank you so mu- ]
Instead of raising my arms to lift the girl, I stopped midway and ask-
[ They're coming? Who? ]
The guard shows a hysterical smile and says-
[ The one who'll execute you along with the princess! ]
My eyes enlarge while looking at the guard-
[ No way- ]
[ Uh huh, what are you gonna do now, Chiaro-kun? You are tired, you have an unconscious girl to protect, and most of all, you are laughably weak because of your lack of attribute. ]
[ Shut up, you are not helping the situation- ]
[ Helping? Oh, I am assessing the situa- well that was fast. ]
Behind me is the sound of footsteps, I turn my back and see a squad of knights with the same armor as the guard. One of them who isn't wearing the same armor approaches me and-
[ Hand over the princess, and we'll let you live. ]
[ I would never do that. ]
[ Oh? Understandable have a good day. ]
That guy leaves and goes behind the squad. After a while, he shouts-
[ Everyone kill the boy and capture the princess. ]
The knights who don't have any weapons raise their hands forward and shout-
[ Fire Attribute: Sword ]
At the same time.
