Battle War; Magic, Sword and Dragon

The Illegal Knight

Several days have passed since the Areshia attack. With an Illegal perpetrator who is a government agent, then the truth is covered with an attack by *******. No one can protest because it concerns the views of the community with the government.

There's nothing to do. Yep. That's the right situation to describe this.

There's nothing Kuro can do. He can guess who ordered Illegal, but he still doesn't know what his purpose is to kidnap Lic, not Izriva.

With the little information, he was still unable to determine the exact move. Electra who protects the city doesn't exist because she takes care of something in Dragonia.

Diplomatic affairs were not Electra's main skill, but since the act-maker was Kuro and his friend, Electra had no choice as negotiator.

The enemy used that moment to attack. Not only that they also planned well so that there were no civilian casualties. Aldest who got the attack also only had minor injuries, but for some reason, he was still very angry.

"......"

Kuro kept thinking about all the possibilities. From the worst to the best and do not forget what kind of enemies they face.

She is currently in the shower, alone. Usually he would shower with Laila, but Kuro could not force Laila to accompany him.

For these few days Laila continued to ponder alone. When asked Laila did not want to answer and said she was fine. This is not the Laila Kuro knows. Usually Laila will be honest with how she feels, but this case seems to make Laila have to be alone.

Kuro decided to wait and wait. Laila will be better if the time is right. He knew Laila was not easily swayed by small excuses, but this time it was probably the toughest ordeal that Laila had experienced.

Laila loved Lic. And along with that, the moment of loss will be even more painful. This was one of the reasons why Kuro did not want Lic to continue to be on his sword.

"Huh.. this time it will be troublesome, to be honest they piss me off. Because of them I can't make out with Laila. Do this and that, well, if you think about it, because Lic I can't do it either. ..Hm?"

Suddenly the idea pops into Kuro's head. He smiled thinly like a bad person who was planning something bad. Even though he looked sad, but that face was no longer there.

"...I think I should try something new.my nails."

Meanwhile, Laila suddenly goosebumps like a bad feeling. As a result, he could not concentrate and failed to hit the target.

Unlike Kuro who was taking a bath, relaxing at home, Laila was currently training alone in the school's training room. With the latest technology, the practice uses virtual magic technology that can be arranged as needed.

Normally he would train with Kuro, but he was wanting to be alone and a little bit away from that person he loved. He doesn't hate Kuro. He also did not blame Kuro for choosing the antidote to the poison rather than Lic, but he blamed himself.

She hated herself for being careless, she was weak, she also did not have the strong determination that Kuro had. But how else, he's not Kuro. He was not Kuro who had immunity to mind-manipulating poisons and magic.

If you think about Kuro's power, it's also something mysterious, but that's Kuro.

"...hmm... What the fuck was that..?"

Laila was concentrating on her target. He practiced shooting at a distance of 3 kilometers using Scarflare which he turned into a large cannon. With Scarflare's special ability that Laila can fox (transformation), Laila can use Scarflare as a sword or a large cannon.

Although Laila later used a gun in battle, that doesn't mean she wants to change her fighting style. Fighting using a sword was a skill that was difficult for him to change. While the reason why he trained with the big cannons was to want to try something new.

Trying something new, he might find something new. Or at least by practicing he would be able to slightly forget his guilt. In spite of the fact, nothing has changed if you try to avoid it.

"....."

Laila concentrated. He shot his training target.4 hit the target of 10 shots. He repeated it again and again.

He did not even remember that much time had passed and that night had come.

"?!"

Suddenly the room became dark. The virtual exercise disappeared and became a normal room with an area of 20 square meters.

Laila heard the sound of footsteps and turned her head towards the source of the sound.

"Charlmilia?"

Charlmilia came over with a small smile.

"You're pushing yourself too hard, even though I'm happy to see you practicing, but if you're overdoing it just hurts yourself."

"What do you mean?"

Charlmilia. He pointed at the clock on the wall. The clock was more than 8 nights.

"Oh. I didn't realize it was this late."

Laila eliminated Scarflare who turned into a cannon and stepped onto the seat not far from her. He took a towel and wiped the sweat that soaked his body.

Laila did not joke unconsciously with the time that passed. His status which was an S rank magician proved that he had a large amount of mana.

"Well, I don't understand why you're doing this, but it seems that my fears are coming true."

"Tumben once you worried about me. Is there something wrong with you? Could you be sick?"

"THE SICK ONE'S YOU, YOU IDIOT!!"

Laila just smiled wryly. He seemed to be avoiding the topic.

"I heard you were acting strange this late, so I checked with my own eyes, but what I saw turned out to be worse than I thought."

Laila fell silent and stopped rubbing her body.

"Sorry, I know what's on your mind."

"....."

"You must think I feel guilty and sad about what happened. Yep. I was sad and blamed myself. Honestly, why can't I protect one precious person in my life? I don't know why I now understand what Kuro is feeling, even if it's just a little."

Charlmilia. He was surprised, but at the same time he was amazed that Laila had already accepted reality. He looks more mature, but at the same time he looks so sad.

"I'm training. I'm trying to find something, but maybe I'm just avoiding it. I've lost Lic.., how hard I tried to forget him, I'm still thinking about what happened back then, it's making me feel uneasy."

"And you're doing this as your impingement?"

"....I guess you could say that."

"...."

Charlmilia doesn't just realize Laila's growing up. She remembers Laila being easily provoked and showing her emotions, but now she is like everyone else. Whether this was a good or bad thing, Charlmilia still did not know, but there was undeniably a lot of things on Laila's mind at the moment.

Although it has only been a few months since entering school, but many things that Laila has gone through more than ordinary students. War, the battle between life and death, Queen, Alice and now Lic. With so much going on, it's no surprise that Laila is more mature.

"Charlmilia, have you had dinner? If you don't mind we'll have dinner together."

"...I've eaten my own cake, but I don't mind accompanying you. Then what about Kuro, aren't you guys having dinner together?"

"Since staying with us, we've had dinner together, but Kuro is not home right now. It would be nice to have a dinner friend."

Hearing that, Charlmilia instantly felt strange. Laila's been practicing and hasn't touched her phone, how does she know Kuro isn't home or not?

"Well, if it's like that."

"Then wait a minute, I'll take a shower and change clothes first. Do you mind?"

"Of course not, you weirdo."

"Ahaa, uh.."

Laila went to the bathroom. While Charlmilia sat down while waiting for Laila. He thought back to what happened a few days ago.

He was angry and could not think clearly. He also felt a little guilty about what happened. If he had not indulged his emotions, there would have been no casualties in this incident.

Not only did Laila lose Lic, but Hana and Amira also lost their friend, Stella. If he had been calmer by then, he would have turned the Byakko into a Byakura. With the speed that the Byaktura possessed, destroying the puppet before it exploded was an easy matter.

But there's no point in regretting. It's all been happening. He feels sorry for them, but he can't repeat the past.

"......"

But this incident reminded him of a bad thing he had long forgotten.

He knew he could not escape the past, but it was as if the past would immediately pull him from the light and sink him into the darkness.

While pensive, Laila came out of the bathroom dressed differently. She's prettier and more seductive.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"I-Yes, but why wear a t-shirt, where's your uniform?"

"My uniform doesn't fit, so I don't wear it ahe he, but that doesn't mean I'm getting fat, it's just..."

Charlmilia then observes Laila's body. Something has changed, even a big change.

"Ugh.. since when is your chest that big?"

"...that's it, but maybe because Kuro used to feel it. He likes doing that. He even did it whenever he had the chance. I hope he doesn't do that in public because it's a little embarrassing."

"Honestly, I want to hit you after hearing that from your mouth. And why are you saying it in such a casual tone? Are you deliberately making me jealous of your affection?"

"....huh? No, it's just that's what happened."

"And I don't know why I want to hit you even more, after all you've gone too far.."

".....Whatchu mean?"

"Forget it and hurry up we have dinner, I don't know why I want to eat so much spicy food tonight."

"Why did it arrive?"

"DO YOU REALLY WANT ME TO, YOU SON OF A BITCH....!!!"

The two then went to dinner at a restaurant not far from school. There are still many houses and shops that have suffered damage, even the restaurants they come to do not escape damage. But the damage to the restaurant is fairly small and has been repaired so that it can serve the buyer.

The two looked around to find an empty spot. They were lucky to find an empty table.

The two of them went to the table, but while they were on their way, they found two unexpected people, Hana and Amira. Like the two, they seem to be having dinner.

The four of them stared at each other. The four of them had the same thoughts because no one expected them to meet in this place.

"Can we join?"

"Eh?"

Charlmilia was surprised by Laila's unexpected words.

Hana and Amira glanced at each other, after a while, Hana spoke.

"Could only. I just happen to want to talk to you."

"We have the same thoughts, don't we?"

Hana just smiled thinly, while Amira did not show interest.

Charlmilia and Laila ended up sitting at the same table. They order food, but the atmosphere is so tense that other visitors keep a little distance from them.

"First, why don't we eat first, we can talk after we're done. Besides, if it's too long, the food's gonna get cold."

"Yeah, you're right..."

"You can call me, Laila. While this big-breasted girl is Charlmilia."

"Hey... Can you not introduce myself like that? Our chest size is the same."

Charlmilia protested, but no one cared about her protest.

"My name is Hana Kazuki, you can call me Hana. She's my friend, you can call her Amira. Greetings, Laila, Charlmilia."

"It's good to know you."

"I'm the same..."

Amira said nothing. He just nodded slowly.

The atmosphere at the dining table was getting more and more ominous. It could even be said that there could be war at any moment, but in the end it did not happen and they had dinner quietly.

It didn't take long until their food ran out and left only dirty dishes. But the gripping atmosphere did not disappear and instead grew stronger. This atmosphere makes all visitors immediately leave the restaurant, and finally the restaurant only contains the four of them.

"Alright, I think we can start talking, who's first?"

"Then let me start. What's your relationship with teacher Kuro?"

"I'm Kuro's future wife. Me and Kuro are getting married soon. From the way you called Kuro, I can guess what your relationship with Kuro is, but what my guess is-"

"..just relax, I don't have a special relationship with teacher Kuro. Our relationship is only for students and teachers. It happened a long time ago."

"Have you? Do you mind telling me? To be honest, I was curious about Kuro's story before I met him. Kuro rarely tells me about it."

Laila's gaze said she was indeed curious, but Charlmilia knew Kuro would tell her anything if Laila asked for it.

(Could Laila not have asked for it?)

The possibility is not impossible, but there is a possibility that Laila does not know and Kuro does not tell.

"I don't mind, but are you sure you want to hear it?"

Laila smiled. Smile with a thin smile and full of intimidation.

"I told you I was interested in Kuro's story before meeting me, knowing the future husband's past was important. You'd agree with me, wouldn't you?"

Hana was smiling too. He showed the same smile as Laila.

The atmosphere was not pleasant, but both of them acted normally. The two reminded Charlmilia of Diana, only that Laila did not remain silent.

"Alright, if you insist. First of all, how about I start when I first meet? You already know teacher Kuro was once a member of the Shadow Knight, and as you know I am Black Valkyrie, one of the Illegals, in other words..."

The story begins --

Illegal, as the name suggests, this is an organization formed with the aim of accomplishing any mission in any way.

All the members of the Illegals are female witches. They are chosen from the background of a cruel and unforgiving dark world. In some cases, Illegal members are witches who are brainwashed into carrying out a suicide mission.

Although referred to as a government organization, but there is no record of their membership. Not even a headquarters or a place to gather was there. Their existence could even only be recognized through 'rumors'.

If anyone claims to be a member of Illegal, then no doubt he is a fake. As the name suggests, Illegal is a criminal organization, but it is controlled by the government.

However, Illegal is still the same organization as other organizations.

The organization was divided into several groups. A group that always succeeds and a group that always fails.

Among the group that had always succeeded, one of them was the Silver Viper that attacked the city of Areshia a few days ago. They are known as a group that is expert in using poison, but also have high intelligence. Facing them requires the right way.

In the group that often fails, one of them is the group Hana and her two friends. They called themselves the Black Valkryie, but the name did not match their achievements.

They change members often. The newest member is Amira, while the members who have been together long enough are Stella and Hana.

"I thought that would explain who we are, now I'll tell you about my relationship with teacher Kuro."

Hana continued.

At that time Hana was still with Stella and their member was named Gyu. As always, they fail in their mission and they get a harsh reprimand from their leader.

Although it is called reprimanded, it does not mean they meet in person. The members of Illegal have a complicated communication system. No one even knows the identity of their boss.

In other words, Illegal is nothing more than an organization that carries out the mission of an unknown person. Trust is hard to find.

-in that case, why is it called a government organization?

Again this refers to 'rumors'. Illegals can be said to exist, but they don't. The members of the Illegals could only be recruited. And after becoming a member, that person will receive a mission.

If successful, they would get paid, if they failed, they would probably be captured by the Knight. If you're unlucky, you might die.

"This time we're in big trouble, one more failure, we're gonna get kicked out."

Hannah complained.

"That's no big deal. We were forced to do the dirty work from the beginning. We are also forced to join forces and sacrifice our lives for this useless organization. I'd rather die than do this my whole life."

Stella and Hana just smiled wryly. They know why Gyu is complaining.

Illegals mostly come from orphaned witches who were forcibly trained. There were even those who used certain medicines so that their strength rose up forcibly. Not infrequently it causes witches to have a short life.

Stella and Hana could be said to be lucky because their strength rose naturally, but their strength was of little use in missions.

"Gyu, I know how you feel. I even want to stop and live a normal life, but they're good enough with us."

"okay? Stella, you must be kidding me. Has your brain been damaged by them? If you mean they're sending us to the battlefield that's really good. We're going to heaven fast."

".....Hana, you're too naive. The world is like a clock that turns. We're just little serrations that keep the world spinning, but what happens to the broken serrations? They just throw it away and replace it with a new one. Just like this organization..."

But the smile did not disappear from Hana's lips. He's been grateful for his life, but he doesn't know what the others are.

"Already, we should discuss our new informant. I heard he's only been working at Shadow Knight for a few months, I'm not sure he's good enough."

"You're good at changing topics, Stella, but I think it's time to change topics."

Gyu knows it's useless to complain. He knows he can't leave or run from Illegal. Thanks to the murderous magic implanted in their bodies, they were like time bombs. They had no choice but to obey orders or die.

Dead by an opponent or dead by a friend. It's the same for them.

In order to escape the cursed chain, they must carry out continuous missions until they are 25 years old, which is when the magic will be released. But, baby, that rarely happens.

♦️♦️♦️

"......"

"....."

Charlmilia and Laila could not comment much. Or they want to comment but don't know what to say.

But Laila clenched her hand a sign she was angry. But there's nothing he can do.

Illegal atrocities have become rumors, so Hana's story is not a surprise, but it will anger anyone who hears it.

On the next mission the three meet their new informant in a small alley. Their informant wears a mask and does not show his face, but their informant uses a code so they are not wrong people.

Information is provided through magic objects that are protected by layered safety. After receiving the information, both parties are required to immediately leave and separate.

The three opened the information on where they lived, which was a simple small house. They open the data and find information they did not expect.

Information about the mission, the target, the region, the status, the circumstances surrounding the target, how the life of the target and everything related to the target is contained in that data.

"Wow, this is the first time we've gotten this much information."

Hana surprised. And it's not just him who's surprised.

"But can we trust all this data? It could be a trap."

"Ha ha. I think you're right, Gyu, but look what I found!"

The three then saw a piece of writing unrelated to the target.

[You can keep an eye on the target if you want to make sure the information I give you is correct.]

The three then laughed a little.

"He predicted our reaction."

"Not bad, but there's no harm in trying."

"This time we agree.."

The three then observed for a few days before deciding to carry out their mission. There is no wrong information. With that information then they make a plan and finally they carry out their mission well.

Since then they have not doubted the information provided by the informant and made a strategy based on the information they can. One by one the missions began they did well. They became known in Illegal, but they also got a new thing, which is a more dangerous mission.

The three relied on the information they had always obtained, but over time, they realized that it was getting more difficult to carry out missions. Not because their information is lacking and the strategy is less precise, but it is because they are weak. They finally realize their mission is successful thanks to the informant's abilities, not their own.

Unfortunately, they realized it too late.

One day they get a mission that has more danger than their usual mission. As Illegals they will carry out any mission and they are obliged not to fail after receiving it.

As usual they met their informant, but there was something different about their informant back then. The informant did not want to provide information about the target and other information they could get.

"What do you mean do this? Isn't it your job to give us information?" ask Stella.

"....That's my job, but..."

For the first time, Hana and her two friends heard the informant speak. All this time the informant just fell silent and left after doing his job, but this time there was something different.

"It's not my job to usher in death" he continued.

All three dumbfounded. They showed incomprehensible, confused and at the same time shocked gazes.

The informant smiled, then continued.

"As usual I did my job, giving out information, but didn't you guys end up realizing something? Something ordinary, but at the same time something dangerous. I'm sure you're not stupid, so you know it."

Missions are increasingly dangerous, but at the same time the information they can get sometimes doesn't match reality. By improvising they successfully carry out the mission, but they realize that inappropriate information is intentional.

The question is what purpose did the informant do it for?

"I'm slowly giving you false data to make you stronger, to be honest this is my true mission. Not only as an informant, but at the same time as a teacher."

"Fufuf ufu, don't joke." Gyu. "You're new, but you're acting cocky."

"I don't deny it, but you already feel it. Slowly but surely, you are getting stronger. If it compares to your past results, isn't that strong evidence?"

Gyu gritted her teeth. He was annoyed, but at the same time he knew what the informant said was true.

"I understand. We thank you for you we're getting stronger, even if you don't realize it." Hana Saying. "But why do you refuse to give us information?"

"You have a reason, right?" continued Stella.

"You know about the mission this time, right? The mission to kill nobles who commit corruption and make it seem like a robbery, but you must be aware of the peculiarities of this mission. This mission should be given to an Illegal stronger than you."

"Do you want to say that this mission is a trap?"

"No, but I still don't know if it's a trap or not. In the end, it was just a killing mission. Unfortunately, after conducting an investigation of that noble, I found something interesting."

The informant unhesitatingly opened up the data that was supposed to be confidential.

He showed a person data and some photos.

"Nobility is natural to have bodyguards, but you know this guy?"

All three silent. The answers are seen on their faces.

"The name is Cruzx Fellias. As far as I know she is an SS-ranked witch, she is also a famous bodyguard who has been escorting important people. But that's not the case, why now is your biggest problem."

"....don't say.."

"Although further investigation is needed, it is possible that someone in Illegal provided information to the noble, in other words eye."

"Your words make sense, but wouldn't it be a coincidence that the noble changed his guard?" ask Stella.

"The second biggest problem is why are you given this mission? I told you this mission should have been given to the stronger Ilelgal, right? You must have noticed, too, that if you were dealing with Cruzx, you might die. That's why I don't want to be the delivery man for your lives."

Stella, Hana and Gyu were silent for a moment. They thought back to the word of the masked informant.

"What is your advice to get out of this?" ask Stella. "As you know, we can't back out of the k-mission"

"No. You can still back off." Cut the informant. "If you don't do this mission, you're considered a failure, right?"

"You can just bullshit. You're just like having us tortured."

Any mission that fails will be punished. If they are lucky, they will only be reprimanded, but if they do not, they will be tormented like hell. The three had already endured the torment and considering their mission was quite important, there was no doubt they would get punished.

"Gyu, you're right, but rather than taking lives, the torture is still better."

"Tch. but if we don't, they'll send someone else. They may be victims just like us. We're lucky because there's him, but what about the others?"

The informant laughed.

"Is there anything funny?"

"No, it looks like the information I got about you guys turned out to be true. There's still a stupid group in the Illegals."

All three were shocked at the same time. They are angry and upset.

"But precisely because you are like that, you are the person I think you are. Because it's.."

The informant took off his mask. His face is now clear. Black eyes as dark as night and the same hair as his eyes. From behind the cloak is seen the handle of the sword with two bells that sound melodious.

"It is with great pleasure that I will assist you in this mission. We meet a lot, but I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Kuro Kagami and I'm not a witch. Hello to you."

The young man named Kuro Kagami smiled warmly. At the same time it was a smile that was the beginning of his fourth relationship.

The three fell silent fixated with flushed faces. They were surprised by the absurd words that Kuro was not a magician given the information he could obtain, but they were more surprised that their informant turned out to be a handsome young man.

♦️♦️♦️

"Ehem.it was the first time we worked together on a mission, but it was also our last mission."

"Why?" ask Laila.

"As Shadow Knight, Kuro's teacher is only in charge of providing information and is forbidden to interfere at any risk. Even though we were in danger, he was not allowed to help. We did manage to carry out our mission, but it was also our farewell to teacher Kuro"

♦️♦️♦️

After saying that she was not a witch, Hana and her two friends chuckled in disbelief at what they had just heard.

"I thought your reaction was like that, but that's the truth. Now we go from here to discuss strategy, how?"

"Fu fu, you're good at kidding me, do you think we're going to accept you on this team?"

"What Gyu said is true. We haven't decided yet that you're joining us." Keep Hana.

But Kuro was smiling. He doesn't seem to care what they say.

"I forced to join. Besides, without my information, you wouldn't be able to carry out your mission, now I think we've agreed, right? Now let's go."

Kuro turned around and left them. Meanwhile, the three fell silent and realized they could do nothing.

"In-She..."

"You don't have to say it, Hana."

"He's handsome, but he's cunning like a snake." Gyu Syndir.

The three then nodded simultaneously. The three knew that the young man named Kuro was not a young man they could underestimate.

The four of them then gathered in a bar filled with creepy adults. When they first entered the four immediately attracted attention, but all eyes immediately did not look at them when they knew who was leading them.

All three aren't stupid enough that Kuro is the cause. It was like he had some influence in that place.

Kuro just went straight into a door on the inside of the bar. Having no other choice, the three followed closely behind. After entering, they arrived at the hallway and the stairs leading down. They walk and keep walking. The doors are all along the hallway, but all the doors are closed.

"This is where they serve their customers. So don't ever try to open it."

The three of them gasped in surprise. And of course wonder.

"Err.. how can you...."

"I know the owner of this place, and certainly the girl in this place. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a customer, I'm just a knower."

The look in his eyes showed that they did not believe Kuro's words.

"Then...?"

"We're going to a hidden place on the inside. I hope you guys don't make a fuss, the girl in this place is a little sneaky and dangerous."

"Sneaky?"

"You'll know soon."

It didn't take long, they arrived at a door, but Kuro wasn't standing at the door. He stared at the empty wall. After a careful look, Kuro pressed a button on the wall randomly.

"That's it.."

"Infinity Lock Security. We may be in a very secret place."

"But Infinity Lock consists of 24 different codes and is scrambled in varying times. How did he know...?"

"You don't have to whisper. I'm just counting by the last code and counting by allogarithm. Twenty-four digits is no big deal."

"....."

"....."

"....."

The three heard something impossible like a child's calculation. No comment came out of their mouths..

The door opened, and then they came in. Inside they saw a vast room filled with doors. There were lights on, but most of them were dead.

"Tara seems to be on a break. Wait here, I'll ask where Mamy is."

Kuro then headed for the door whose lights were alive. He tapped several times with a code-like pattern. A few seconds later the door opened, Kuro entered and did not return for a few minutes.

About 10 minutes waiting, Kuro finally came out. He met the three who showed a look of disbelief or had expected it.

"We're unlucky, Mamy's not here. While we wait, you rest."

"Where?"

Kuro glanced at the room he had previously entered.

"Are you kidding us? Besides, do you think we'll obey your orders?"

"Y-Yeah, why do you think we're going into one of those rooms?"

"That's kar-"

"Ku~~... Why are you so long?"

From inside the room a girl's head appeared. Beautiful and sexy girl then out. The girl was scantily dressed or rather just wearing underwear only so that the chest was clearly exposed.

The girl ran towards Kuro and directly jumped onto Kuro's back and clung like a child.

"Ku~~... So those who will stay here? Heh. they are sweet, could they be..."

"Tara, stop climbing me like that. And don't do anything that makes a mistake."

"Gee.... You do have a thick wall, Ku ~~ I'm sure Mamy wouldn't mind your friends staying here, but.. could it be that they're still virgins?"

Hana and her two friends instantly blushed in embarrassment.

"Let's not know don't ask me that."

Kuro slowly released Tara's embrace gently.

"Now can I entrust them to you? I still have business."

"Hee... want to go? Why not accompany me first? Isn't the end of this you rarely come here?"

"When will I play with you all, but not now. I have to do something important."

"Hmm... Could it be that you want to kill someone again?"

"........"

Kuro just smiled a little. He then rubbed Tara's head and touched her nose. Tara looks to enjoy it when Kuro does that.

Kuro without a word then pegi in the same way as he entered. Leaving Hana and her two friends together with a half-naked girl.

"Well, who's not a virgin?"

"......"

"......"

"......"

It was a question they could not answer despite being tortured in the most cruel and inhuman way.
