Chiarne felt all his hair stand on end.
"However, people also have their superior and inferior qualities. Not everyone is that useful. Our 'telescope' and 'paintbrush' that can make the sun fall forever are in Margaret's cottage—"
Patting Chiarne's back forcefully, a profound starlike light suddenly flashed in Collins's eyes.
"—Alright, you performed very well, but you don't need to worry about the next matters, Mr. Chiarne."
The extended car stopped by the roadside, and Chiarne, as if fleeing, quickly scrambled out of the car, brushing past a silver-haired Kuranta Nona.
"Ah, welcome, future Platinum Grand Knight. I have heard of your excellence from your mentor."
Wearing a white tight-fitting outfit, the Kuranta girl with a bow and arrows on her back was concealed in the shadows of the car interior, her face indistinguishable.
"However, before, even the offensive led by Lapis Lazuli, the target I entrusted to you all, seemed to have returned without success. I wonder if you alone can handle this position?"
Collins poured another glass of red wine, letting it float in the air, and offered it to the Nona.
"You can also call me Platinum. Armorless Union's missions are not always successful, so we don't mind employers hiring a second force, and we always only pay a deposit—but in the middle of a mission, a military child suddenly appears, which also makes things difficult for us. You wouldn't expect us to provoke the Surveillance Court, would you?"
Taking the wine glass with a slender hand and casually placing it beside her, the Nona, who called herself Platinum, seemed particularly urgent and didn't want to waste time.
"Kill who? Capture who? Where? How strong? I only want to know these things—my time is short, it's my vacation now, I don't want to waste too much time."
Her brown, bright eyes were particularly striking in the darkness. This young Armorless Union assassin was full of confidence in her skills.
"Of course, Nona Platinum, I have complete trust in Armorless Union's strength, and we also won't make you fight that group of people; we have our own strength—the mission is very simple: ascertain the background of these people. Besides the original Sarkaz fugitives, we also need you to investigate two people."
Two yellowed papers floated in front of Platinum, displaying Goki and Skadi to her.
"The purpose of investigating them is to understand their strength. Of course, I don't make too many demands. If possible, you can bring them to Allens Choice."
Collins showed Platinum a mysterious smile, which made her frown slightly.
"May your steps under the starry sky never cease. Allens Choice will not mistreat its helpers."
And Platinum, after taking the two portraits, merely raised an eyebrow slightly, her bright eyes looking out at the boulevard, at two figures, one tall and one short, standing side by side.
"—I need more money."
"Deal."
——————
"How strange, no matter how I divine it, Kal'tsit won't come here—who gave her that confidence? Never mind, I'm happy to be idle."
The silver-white figure left the car, and Collins, alone, refilled his own glass of wine.
"Old man, have you also lost your sharpness with age, or are these two I observed—the helpers you sent? How laughable."
Taking out his phone, Collins looked at the photos on it. Photos of Goki and Skadi were displayed, and he had already known about them. His recent questioning of Chiarne was merely his personal dark humor.
"However, no matter who it is, they are merely a mantis trying to stop a chariot—I wonder if my old friends have awakened now. I truly hope to see their expressions when they wake up and realize that the world is already entirely in my hands."
Looking at the bright and clear sky, Collins revealed a sinister smile.
"O King, the radiance of the otherworldly sword has dissipated, and you have been forgotten by your people. Your sublimity ends here. The false curtain you set up will eventually break. My followers have prepared an army, and people will have the right to see the truth of the world, and I————"
Collins's eyes once again transformed into the appearance of the starry sky, and his voice was filled with eerie echoes.
"————will find myself again, and achieve true freedom."
And hearing his words, in front of the extended car, the driver, covered by a black cloak, suddenly let out a low growl.
If the girls from Rhine Lab were here, they would definitely recognize whose voice it was.
The power of the stars had already permeated this city.
