"That's why Toypo and Renault joined us safely."

"Wow! Thank you!"

Ronnie grabbed her hands and swung them.

But this is going to work.

Are the Bactans going to be okay?

Quenna and I came to the cure.

I came with Ronnie to see how Bactan was doing, but he was still asleep.

"The children seem to have healed." But Bactan needs to rest for a while. ”

I've been hit so hard.

"It was a little too prominent." We have to reflect. "

"No, that's not true." It's strange to try to quell it by force just because it stood out. "

Queena blames Ronnie for what she did.

In fact, Ronnie didn't do anything wrong.

"Still... I did something bad to Tsavis." He probably had nothing to do with it. "

"Oh, I think so too." Probably Rogers and the others. "

"You're right." There is no other way to take such a cowardly step. "

Maybe I should apologize to Zvis.

"Hmm, that's it." And I need it to win the ritual without rotting. "

Ronnie said with a clear face.

Inwardly, he may be angry enough to boil his intestines, but he may be regaining his coolness in preparation for the feast.

(... is it a festival?)

So far, Ronnie has made arrangements to win.

It's about magic items, and it's about having all the members.

There is only one purpose.

There is only the recapture of the Holy Sword.

However, after getting involved so far, I gradually understood the inside information. It can no longer be said to be irrelevant.

(The Lions cannot be left alone.)

Tsavis, Seneria.

We cannot ignore their thoughts.

A Beastman suddenly enters the healing station.

It was Zvis.

What, are you here?

"... yeah. I heard Ronnie was here."

My gaze is stunning.

It was a sign of some kind of confusion.

“It was just right. I wanted to apologize. I'm sorry I didn't suspect you of attacking Bactan and the children.”

Ronnie apologized for the embarrassment and embarrassment on her face.

But Zvis didn't seem particularly concerned - he seemed rather concerned about something else.

"Ronnie... you can forgive me for that." But I have a favor to ask you. "

"Do me a favor? What is it?"

"Please don't participate in the Cheng Festival."

The proposal froze the air on the spot.

But it wasn't unexpected.

"I'm not going to go that far and beg for forgiveness. I thought you were more prideful.”

Ronnie's clearly contemptuous eyes pour out on Tsuvis.

Certainly, Zvis' request was a weak one. But you can't leave it alone. Because I've become so irrelevant.

"Is this about Rogers' threats?"

Is that a threat?

"Oh, if we lose the feast, Seneria will be taken to Rogues." Because our bloodline has produced the best warriors and protectors ever..... "

"...... You're all a bunch of shit."

Having grasped the circumstances, Ronnie's contempt turned to another side.

"Wait a minute. You don't have to worry about Rogers, do you?" If Ronnie were to win the feast, Rogues would be banished. Even if Zuvis wins, he won't be able to take Seneria. You don't have to tell Ronnie that you want her to lose, so things will go well. "

Quena was right.

But it also has major drawbacks.

"I don't think Rogues will be banished quietly." That's why I can't lose at the Cheng Festival. "

Zvis' fist was full of strength.

I don't want to forgive you just because you really think about Senelia.

"Then I'll protect everything!" Defeat me, defeat Rogues! "

"--If I could do that, I wouldn't ask for a favor!"

Zuvis responded with a furious shout to Ronnie's ideal.

Yeah, that's right. The difference in power is clear. I'm sure Zvis can't beat Rogers.

Tears traveled down Zvis's cheeks. It also drooped on the ground.

”I didn't think it would be so hard to be helpless......”

No one keeps their mouths shut like that.

Tsavis continued in a weak voice.

"It was going well... I was told that I was a prodigal child... and I was even in charge... if you didn't show up...!"

The voice that came from the bottom of my heart was a grudge.

Ronnie was facing it from the front, and there must be Rogues and the others in the back. That's not all. There must be more against this species.

"--I can't lose." Some of them helped me. That's why you can't show your pathetic face like that. "

……――

Zvis couldn't say anything back, he just stood up.

Looking at her like that, Ronnie just walked away saying that she had nothing more to say.

"Then I'll go." I have a sacrifice to celebrate. "

"Yeah. See you later."

Quenna and I respond by waving our hands.

But Tsavis stood still with his face warped, not holding back.

……

I'm sure he knows that nothing can be done now. That is why the next hand becomes unnecessary if it is normal.

"Zuvis, I think we need to stick to the beastman's attitude of winning and losing." It is good to use any means for that purpose. But I'd better make the lowest line somewhere. Don't be like Rogers. "

"Don't listen to the windy mouth I know!"

"That's right.... I'm sorry"

I am aware that I have said extra things.

But he has something to protect. I feel sorry for you because I know that. I can't end up without telling you anything.

Recover the Holy Sword. Let Ronnie win for it. That is the prime objective that has been repeatedly reaffirmed since we arrived in Beastman territory.

(That's why if Tsavis takes cowardly measures... I'll have to protect Ronnie.)

If possible, I don't want Tsavis to take the wrong path.

"... it's okay, Zvis. If you lose the feast, ask me." I will protect you. "

"...... Shit"

You can hear the sound of chewing your back teeth.

You must have figured out my heart.

I'm sure his sympathy is nothing but a wound to his pride. But we have to accept that. For my sister.

I hope the conflict isn't poisonous.
