Bab 163: Goat Tail

The next day, Luke decided to go to the Lower Town to look for Matthew and Alexis, because they had not given any sign of life.

Initially, Ayumi was totally against this rash action. She knew that after the failed terrorist attack by the Chaos Followers, the First Servant would be more vigilant, especially in his region of the greatest influence which is the Lower Town. In addition, there was a chance that both Alexis and Matthew had been captured and were being used as bait to lure Luke into their territory. However, Luke didn't care if it was a trap or not; after all, the Lower City had once been his home as well.

Seeing how determined the half-wolf was, Ayumi offered him military power. Naturally, Luke was tempted to accept, but he didn't. He feared that should there be high-level combat in the city's most populated area, there were sure to be casualties of innocent people.
