===Part 3===

Hazel faced Karl ahead of her and considered that question.

She hung her head a bit, but she soon looked up and answered.

“To where I think I should be.” She looked to the Barrels to the left and right and brushed up her hair. “Um,” she began. “You wouldn’t believe me if I promised to return once everything is in place, would you?”

“No, unfortunately,” said the red one.

“Our master, Kaiser Schwert, ordered us to take the Messiah’s life if she were to escape,” continued the blue one.

That came as a shock to Hazel.

…''So not everyone in the Geheimnis Agency agrees about me.

She made a note of that while turning her thoughts to Alfred.

Then she heard a pair of metal noises.

They came from the blue Barrel to her left readying its rifle and the red one to her right pulling out the short sword hidden within itself.

“So you are running away?” boomed Karl Schmitt’s voice in front of her.

He nodded while looking down at her.

She frowned a bit at his nod and pressed her right foot against the roof.

The cloth made a wet sound and the cold blood soaking it got on the roof.

She faced forward while standing in her own blood.

“I am not running away. And I will no longer make excuses either.”

She took a breath.

“I am simply pointing out which answer is correct.”

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, a bullet and a short sword strike rushed in from the sides.

She leaped forward just beforehand.

She rolled herself down the sloped roof and toward Karl’s chest.

The sound of the bullet hit her along with a shockwave and Karl’s hand moved in from the right.

“–––––!”

She looked behind herself for just an instant. The red and blue were moving to launch a second attack.

But something was missing there.

…''They’re always with that white Heavy Barrel! Is it here too!?

That question led to a flash of insight as she leaped from the roof just before Karl grabbed her.

She leaped out into the empty space above the road.

She floated in the air as a precursor to falling.

But Karl’s giant hand pursued her to scoop her out of the air.

She viewed his hand.

“I won’t let you catch me!”

She read the timing from the wind Lives wrapped around his metal fingers and kicked off his finger.

She used the force of his finger to launch herself toward the main gate.

She used her feline agility and the Heavy Barrel’s hand to propel herself through the night sky.

She was 20 yards up, so falling would mean death. But this was enough.

…''I know it is!

She only needed to do one thing, but she didn’t have much time to do it.

She hurried. Still lying face up in the air, she breathed in to calm herself. She lay in the night sky and faced the stars and moon. She opened her mouth with her eyes on the moonlight situated at the highest point of the sky.

Her Messiah eye glowed red as she spoke the Text necessary to resolve this.

<The Messiah…>

She used her Beweisen.

<The Messiah calls the emperor.>
