Carneades ch4-1

The first mission has a premonition of trouble...?

I know it's our first mission as buddies and all, but...

WHY ARE WE BACK HERE AGAIN!?
Pyeeeeh

Our mission is to catch the culprit responsible
for turning humans into monsters.

Um...
So those monsters are...
All dead.

It seems their bodies can't withstand the light of morning.

Well,
I say we're to catch them,
but there's no guarantee that they're even still here....

Um...
What is it?

I'm certain that the culprit is still here.

Ah!
B-But that's just my guess! I may be wrong about it...
If there's a basis for that, spill it.

Um... Erm.
...

If you're serious about this,
I won't make fun of you.

That's what buddies are for, even forced ones.
Trust comes first.

...
The bizarre murders in Slum City have grown more frequent as of late.

I know.
The victims were decapitated, had exploded organs, and were torn limb from limb, right?

The severed heads are gathered as materials for increasing magical energy.
The exploded organs were the failed results of curse practice.
And the torn limbs were testing the strength of the lizarfied humans...

...
I see.

The culprit used a lot of their prepared war potential against us.
Rather than targetting us specifically...
they might've been wanting materials needed for something even bigger.

You and I had just met,
and I don't recall being targeted... Which means...

What the enemy wants are the bodies of an angel and a demon...?

The Angel Police moves in packs
and you're the only demon in this area.

The most convenient method
would be to get just the two of us alone.

The culprit had no choice but to wait
for me to escape back home and for you to chase after me, El-san.
Even a little bit of research on "Eve the Getaway Wing"
would lead the culprit to that conclusion.

You're a professional escapist, after all.
Geez... I'm not that great.
That wasn't a compliment.

Alright!
It certainly seems like the culprit is here.

You're not too bad.

Thanks to you, I know where we need to go.

Eh?

If the culrpit is looking out for us,
then they'll be somewhere "Eve the Getaway Wing" might return to...

The Angel Police doesn't know where that is,
but since you're a slum resident, there's a high chance the culprit does.

Ah.

That's right.

Your house.

No way!
I don't wanna tell you!

For buddies,
trust comes first.

You'll just betray me, El-san!
We're the only ones with a lead on this case.

Without your trust, we can't solve this case.

Uuuh...

Understood...
Please follow me.

It's here.

Here...? ...Wait!

This way.
Eeh...?

Hah...

p10-11

Is this vacant land from all the illegal construction?

p12

This is my house!

Eh...?
This place?
It's all run down...
Yes!
Lovely, isn't it?

Well... to each their own...

But are you sure you should've led me here?
Eh?

p13

Eh?

GWAAAAH

An ambush, just as expected.

p14

There's a tonne coming from the city too!

Just how many people did they sacrifice for this?
El-san... What's that...?
