The colors are all red, and there are also these runes that look like magic circles.
From then on, Kanzaki Teru became interested in these things.
Although he had paid attention to this issue during his fight with Nathaniel, he did not notice anything unusual.
However, when she heard Takamiya Mana mention this, the memory suddenly came back to her.
"The red was just a regular red. As for the appearance... I'm sorry, brother, I don't remember the details very well."
"It's alright, I just got excited. Please continue."
After all, it would be asking too much of Takamiya Mana to remember, and the situation at the time absolutely did not allow her to be distracted by such a thing.
Moreover, if she were to lose her mind even for the slightest moment, she would be the one to lose her life.
In such a state of absolute focus, it is indeed difficult to notice other things.
-
After the smoke cleared, both of them stood motionless in place, as if they had used up all their strength.
"Hietha, take Kanzaki Hikaru away."
Because he was exhausted, Nathaniel's voice became very weak at this moment.
"Don't even think about it! I'll protect my brother!"
As Hietha approached step by step, Mana Takamiya struggled to get up from the ground.
However, physical exhaustion and the severe injuries she suffered simply prevented her from standing up again.
"Don't worry, leave the rest to me."
I don't know whose voice it was, but it gave me a sense of peace.
With that sound, Takamiya Mana completely lost consciousness...
"What happened after that?"
"I don't know for sure, but it seems that Hiesta dealt with the opponent afterwards."
When I woke up from my coma, the other person had already disappeared; only Hiesta was there to take care of me.
"hateful!"
Upon hearing what Mana Takamiya said, Teru Kanzaki couldn't help but click his tongue.
He thought he could learn about Hiesta's strength from her, but unexpectedly she fell into a coma.
Her eyes were fixed on Hiersta, and she seemed unaffected.
She continued to fly the plane steadily, but judging from her appearance, she must have heard everything.
"Thank you for protecting Mana. I want to express my gratitude to you for that."
After all, without her, even Nathaniel wouldn't have been able to continue fighting under those circumstances.
However, Lucy still maintains a perfect state, and taking her life would be a piece of cake for her.
However, since the result was not like that, it means that Hietha's combat power is at least stronger than Lucy's.
Should we test the waters? The thought had barely crossed his mind when Kanzaki Teru dismissed it.
After all, if the two of them were to fight, then no one would be able to pilot the plane.
This puts Kanzaki Hikaru in a difficult position, and after weighing the pros and cons, he suppresses the idea.
"What a surprise! I didn't expect you to thank me so frankly! Do you have some other motive?"
"I've always been this way, after all, it's the truth. But if it weren't for you, perhaps we wouldn't have ended up in such a dangerous situation..."
At this point, Kanzaki Teru realized something else, and this thing sent a chill down his spine even further than what had just happened.
Chapter 373: The Core of the Problem
After all, the appearance of Takamiya Mana was an unexpected situation, so in other words, Sietha actually wanted to protect himself with the help of Lucy and Nathaniel.
Doesn't that mean she has the strength to fight those two people?
Considering this possibility, cold sweat involuntarily broke out on Kanzaki Teru's back.
After all, Hiesta did not display that kind of strength in the illusion.
So Kanzaki Teru didn't take her seriously, but if all of this was just a pretense...
Kanzaki Teru looked at Hiesta again, a faint smile still on her face.
But at this moment, in Kanzaki Teru's mind, that smile also seemed so dangerous and eerie.
"Who is she?"
In Kanzaki Teru's mind, Hietha's identity was once again shrouded in great doubt.
"So, is this where you two fought?"
Although I have this question in my mind, I don't think I can get the answer to it anytime soon.
"Yes? Is there a problem, brother?"
Looking at the spot where Kanzaki Teru was pointing, Takamiya Mana obediently nodded.
You wouldn't guess from his appearance that he had just been through a fierce battle.
"If what you say is true, then it is indeed somewhat strange..."
"Strange? What's strange?"
Hearing Kanzaki Teru say this, Takamiya Mana's eyes were also filled with doubt.
He kept looking around, trying to find out where the strange place Kanzaki Teru had mentioned was.
"You did this, didn't you?"
Pointing to the wing outside the window and seeing black smoke billowing from it, Takamiya Mana felt somewhat embarrassed.
"It was indeed me... but there was nothing I could do about it! I—"
Just as she was about to speak in her own defense, Kanzaki Teru reached out and interrupted her.
"I didn't mean to blame you, you don't need to be so nervous."
"Then, elder brother..."
"Don't you find it strange? The aftershocks of the attack alone could cause such damage, yet the plane is completely unharmed."
"Ah! So that's how it is!"
Upon hearing this, Takamiya Mana finally realized what was happening.
"It's really strange! With that kind of impact, it wouldn't be surprising if the plane crashed."
"So I'm wondering if it's because of that red light you saw during the battle that caused this abnormal situation."
However, despite this, Kanzaki Teru still hasn't found the key to the problem.
I thought that with so much information and clues, I would be able to resolve my doubts.
However, it now appears that not only have the doubts not been resolved, but more problems have been created.
"This is such a headache..."
Holding his forehead, Kanzaki Teru couldn't help but sigh.
......
"Is this really a good idea? Leaving her alone in Japan?"
"Well... although I wanted to bring her along, she still has other tasks to complete."
Sitting on the plane to London, Kanzaki Teru answered the other person's questions lazily.
"Then there's nothing we can do..."
The other party seemed to accept Kanzaki Teru's explanation and did not pursue the matter further.
"By the way..."
"what happened?"
Upon hearing Kanzaki Teru's voice, the man's attention was drawn back to it.
Why did you follow me here?!
"Even if you ask me that... all I can tell you is that I'm also going to London, assistant."
The person sitting next to Kanzaki Teru was none other than Hiesta.
After the plane landed, Hiersta seemed to say something to the police and then disappeared.
Kanzaki Teru thought he would never see her again, but unexpectedly he ran into her as soon as he boarded another plane.
"Speaking of which, what did you show her? Didn't I initially want to follow you, Takamiya Makoto?"
"You saw it! How come I didn't notice you were there!"
Kanzaki Teru was somewhat surprised to hear Hiesta say that.
After all, once the plane landed, Kanzaki Teru had been carefully observing his surroundings.
One reason is to find out where Hiersta went, and another reason is that the enemy might attack again, so we need to prepare in advance.
"This is a trade secret. By the way, what exactly did you show her?"
He's indifferent to trivial matters, but when it comes to crucial issues, Hiersta becomes incredibly meticulous—perhaps that's just his detective nature.
"This is also a trade secret, and I cannot disclose it."
"Then I'll tell you how I saw it, and you tell me what you showed Takamiya Mana. That'll be fair, right?"
Although it seemed like Hiersta had offered a fair trade, it was completely irrelevant to Kanzaki Hiroki.
After all, even if Kanzaki Hikaru knew how she found out, it wouldn't help him at all, especially since he already had a pretty good idea of how she did it.
Chapter 374: The Significance of a Famous Detective
"Isn't this a bit too boring? How about we try something different?"
"Oh, what kind of assistant do you want to be?"
