“Ggg! Brother!”

“What?”

 

“He was killed. Through as well.”

 

“!?”

“W-what!?”

“You’re lying! How could those two be…”

 

“Are you rejecting my ‘Double’?”

“N-no…”

 

“I saw everything clearly up until the moment of my brother’s death. It was magic. A sword came out of nowhere.”

 

“To think that the older Double would be killed…”

“This is bad…”

 

“The plan will be ruined without Through.”

“So that was their aim!”

 

Double Magicians.

They were twins with high telepathic ability and magic, which allowed them to see and experience the same things.

It was the older brother that trained hard and built up his body, while the younger brother focused on gaining knowledge and learning magic.

 

They made up for each other’s weaknesses and helped the other draw out their true strength.

Even when they were separated, they understood each other.

 

That’s why they were ‘Double.’ They were both one and two.

Two as one.

 

And now one side was dead.

The remaining younger brother looked pale.

 

“Brother… I will avenge you.”

“Double. What can you tell us about the killer?”

“Yes. That’s important.”

 

“He was wearing black and also covered his face. I could only see the eyes.”

“A Ryukoku Shadow.”

“What about his name? Do you have anything that can give us a lead?”

 

“I didn’t hear a name. But I saw his magic. That…that… He made a knife come out of the shadows.”

 

“From shadows?”

“If it’s a knife, is it close-range magic?”

 

“I don’t know. No one was behind my brother. And then a knife appeared. Just a knife… The man in black was still in front of him.”

 

“I get the point.”

“Was it a projectile?”

 

“No. It…it was an invisible knife.”

“An invisible knife…?”

 

“It was the knife that the enemy magician was holding.”

“So, you just need to watch the movements of the magician.”

 

“Even if you knew when it would move, you cannot dodge something that you can’t see.”

“You would not know how to dodge it if you didn’t know which direction it would come from.”

 

“I see. An invisible knife… Interesting.”

Someone said.

 

“Invisible Knife.”

“A new magician that has appeared in Ryukoku… We have to figure out a way to deal with this.”

 

“Invisible Knife. I’ll kill you for this, you bastard!”

 

After that, the name ‘Invisible Knife’ would spread among the magicians of Makoku.
