I Became the World’s Strongest Without Fighting~ All the Beautiful, Cheat-Class Girls Are Courting Me Because of My [Love] Skill~ - Chapter 45 - Crisis 1

Chapter 45 – Crisis 1

In the back alley behind the central street of the Britain Human Empire, a path primarily used for warehouses and delivery routes, there were restrictions on entry.

The knights urged everyone to keep their distance at the entrance to the back alley.

This can be confirmed even from room 302. The incident happened so close.

It was another killing spree——the 14th victim was apparently found in a warehouse.

That’s all I know. It was discovered a few hours ago, and when we got the report, we tried to head there, but the crowd wouldn’t let me in.

Everyone went to check the scene and I was waiting for them to return.

“……”

I heard the door to the room open and went to the entrance.

“Everyone, how was it——”

I tried to ask what was going on, but I was overwhelmed by their overflowing emotions and refrained.

“Let’s talk.”

They passed by me at the end of the narrow corridor. Misha, who was at the very end, took my hand as she passed by and we all gathered around the table.

It was at that moment.

“——!?”

The table shattered with a loud bang.

“…I’m sorry.”

It was Cecia who punched the table and broke it. Her teeth clenched and a twitch running down her nose.. Her eyebrows were furrowed, showing that she was furious.

“She couldn’t get angry because there were people there.”

I understood it from Misha’s concise explanation. It must have been a terrible scene.

Cecia hates blasphemy. She can be said to be a mirror image of a knight. Her personality is high in loyalty, and because she has continued to fight for her people, she has a kind personality that cares about the country and the people.

That’s why, witnessing a dead civilian at the scene, though she felt rage, she couldn’t show it in front of others. It finally erupted.

I shifted my gaze to Rin. Rin noticed this and opened her mouth.

“It was disgusting. The person’s hands and feet were tied to a chair and was killed.”

Those words involuntarily tensed my body.

Killing by tying his limbs to a chair? That’s more torture than murder. To die in such a way made the quality of the act even more sinister.

“For now, we understand one thing. The serial killer is not normal——no, she’s insane.”

Ilf said, glaring into the emptiness.

We thought for a bit that the serial killer wouldn’t do anything because she probably knew that everyone who is called the world’s strongest had come to this country.

But a crime was committed as if the killer didn’t care about that. I can understand why Ilf would describe the serial killer as insane.

“This is an insult. We came here, and they killed without a second thought… We’ll definitely catch them.”

What I felt from Cesia and Rin was clear anger. Ilf is angry but calm and seems to be thinking about something. It’s hard to read Misha’s expression, but I get the feeling that her eyebrows are lowered.
