when aiwass saw his wheelchair being grabbed by gryphon philip, he thought mr. philip was about to fly a kite.

——he was that kite.

he had to try hard to hold onto the wheelchair, in order to not be thrown off.

whether as a priest or a demon scholar, both were professions with little enhancement to physical fitness. fortunately, aiwass's own physical condition was not too bad; he most likely wouldn't fall off halfway and become like a bomb dropped from a bomber...

only after taking off did aiwass realize... mr. philip was steadier than he had imagined.

during the sprint phase, aiwass hadn't felt any air resistance at all. it wasn't until the gryphon quickly reached the vicinity of the destination and began to slow down that aiwass started to feel the pressure. even so, philip was still distracted, maintaining aiwass's stability.

looking down from above, aiwass immediately knew where the troubled area was.

within about two streets from the red queen district inspection bureau, not even a single pedestrian could be seen.

people had subconsciously chosen to take a detour, leaving an empty circle. likewise, because no one approached them, no one noticed those mysterious robed individuals in red whose appearances alone were disturbing.

"it's an exorcism ritual."

the guardian squinted slightly, "they dispersed everyone who might have seen them, stealthily approaching in this manner."

to drive away everyone who might see oneself——this could undoubtedly be considered a form of stealth.

at least it was more gentle than killing everyone who saw them.

"drop aiwass and lily down, philip,"

the guardian ordered, "place them a bit further away, then come and help me. once i clear the people inside, let them come over to heal."

"no problem."

his gryphon companion said in a deep voice.

"we can also fight,"

interjected aiwass, "ordinary demon scholars can't beat us."

"fine."

the guardian didn't say any nonsense like "are you sure?" "better not" "how many can you handle?"

since aiwass had said he could handle it, he simply chose to trust him, "then drop them at the back door—both of you, remember to enter the bureau from the back door and take control of the scene before treating the others."

he was straightforward, without hesitation.

after giving the order, he spread his arms wide and jumped off the back of the gryphon.

his arms outspread, like a cross, resembling an eagle swooping down on its prey.

just at that moment, the giant who had just given the order.

the sky suddenly darkened.

as a more violent hurricane arose, the robed figures staggered.

a bolt of thunder crashed down——

the lifespan of giants, similar to that of elves, is only around five or six hundred years.

after over four hundred years of captivity, wolfram had aged from a youth to an elderly man.

—at the time, the guardian had only assumed the role of director of the supervisory bureau for three years when wolfram escaped from his jurisdiction.

he had somehow broken the seal and burst out on his own. in the ensuing pursuit, wolfram suddenly vanished.

this was the greatest mistake george had made in his life to this day.

strictly speaking, the incident should have had nothing to do with him... but it was still his responsibility. he had let the most important prisoner escape and even lost track of him.

if it hadn't been for her majesty's forgiveness, there probably wouldn't be a guardian george today.

he was likely already fourteen or fifteen years old now.

seeing wolfram again, the guardian felt the blood that had been calm for many years boiling once more.

the shame, guilt, and rage of the past surged back into his heart—george then realized that he hadn't forgotten the incident as he had thought.

without hesitation, he charged at wolfram.

however, wolfram merely smiled at him, his eyes full of pity.

the guardian was on full alert, focusing every ounce of his being—

—but the very next moment, he charged right through wolfram's body and stumbled.

as if the other was merely an illusion, and he passed right through him.

...how is that possible?

didn't he just throw director taya back?

the guardian subtly touched the eye of avalon at his chest.

he quickly glanced at the spot beside him and was instantly stunned.

—beside him, there were no giants.

only those in red robes.

and the two giants were like air, simply not there at all.

watching the guardian's confused, hesitant stance, wolfram's smile grew more pronounced.

"it's a 'mirage,'" he said.

and at that moment, aiwass's voice rang out.

he wheeled his chair slowly over and said to the guardian, "don't mind them—just deal with the others."

at the sound of aiwass's voice, wolfram's smile vanished, and his expression immediately turned cold.

he looked aiwass up and down and suddenly revealed a mocking smile.

"i was wondering who it could be...

"turns out it's the old man's grandson."
