Relieving the City (4)

[Mission: Kill Sniper Devil Saint (Complete)]

[Description: Kill Qiel, the brain of the Supreme Devil Organization.]

[Reward: An Advanced Rune (One Category of Choice).]

"Huh?" Noel raised his eyebrows, looking at the mission. 'Huh? Qiel died? What happened? Did she lose too much blood?'

Noel felt something was amiss. On the one hand, there was indeed a possibility that she died that way. On the other hand, they weren't pursuing her, so they should be able to stop somewhere and close the wounds.

"What's wrong?" Anna asked, noticing Noel's change of expression. 

"This…" Noel fell silent for a moment before whispering the truth. "Qiel died just now. The mission confirmed it, so it must be true." 

"Wha—mmmph!" Anna was shocked, but Noel hurriedly covered her mouth to not show it. Although it was joyous news, they couldn't really declare it. What was the proof? People would simply become suspicious of them.
