Weird Illness?

Night fell.

Most of Al Pacino had gone dark, with only a few streets still lit.

Several shadows melted into the night, scaling the tall walls. The towering city wall, three stories high, posed no threat to them; they simply walked straight up it at a ninety-degree angle.

Their goal was clearly defined. Once inside the city, they headed straight in one direction.

They traveled across rooftops, rarely setting foot on the ground.

Since they moved in a straight line, they reached their destination with almost no time wasted.

A lavish mansion.

The sort of place inhabited by either the wealthy or the noble.

"Is this it?"

The person wearing a Fox mask asked in a low voice.

The person beside him took a look and nodded. "That's right. This is the place."

The two were Yamanaka Jinichi and Hayama Shirakumo. Of the two people behind them, one had been Hayama Shirakumo's teammate when he first captured Blade and the Witch, while the other had simply had nothing better to do and joined them on this mission.

"Then let's go."

The four nodded and slipped into the luxurious house like ghosts, making not the slightest sound.

Drawing on Lisa's memories, Yamanaka Jinichi led his teammates straight to the bedroom of the house's owner, the noble lord Eder. They entered directly through the window.

The window happened to be open. It was probably because it was summer and had been left open at night for ventilation, saving Yamanaka Jinichi and the others the trouble.

Entering one after another, Yamanaka Jinichi came to the bedside and saw the noble lord sleeping soundly with a young girl in his arms.

Hayama Shirakumo dragged away the naked girl in Eder's arms, lest she suddenly wake up and interfere with Yamanaka Jinichi's memory-probing secret technique.
