Shadows beneath the blade: volume three mystery in the village

Victory should feel like relief.

For Riku Hinoki, it feels like something else.

In Tenshōkyō, order is absolute and doubt is dangerous. As new missions unfold and the Legion tightens its grip, Riku begins to question not just the system he serves-but himself.

The line between justice and cruelty grows thinner.

The voice in his head grows louder.

And every choice feels heavier than the last.

Because sometimes the greatest threat isn't the enemy in front of you-

It's the part of you that's starting to change.
