Hirono area a short distance from the King Westeria capital.
One carriage was stopped.
"Old man, it's fine here"
"To?"
"I'm telling you to put it down here."
"Heh, heh... So, can I have the money?
"You did."
A young man getting off the carriage and approaching the man on your stand.
And...
"Thank you for your hard work"
said, the young man pierced the man's heart with a dagger that he showed and removed when he took money out of his pocket.
'Cause you're gonna get paid from me.
The young man's name is Ash.
I like gold more than anything, Ash.
Ash had come so far to qualify for the World Martial Arts Games.
The purpose is naturally a prize.
"In the meantime, you win the qualifying round. That's the real race at Jarrick. A minimum of 100 million SL if put in by third place there. That's an easy win."
Ash, who is not interested in the Demons or anything else, was going to run away once he got his prize money.
"The world is gold. Money is everything. I only believe in money. I won't be fooled anymore. Nobody Believes."
The original Ash was not of this character.
He was a kind-hearted young man who prioritized people's help over gold.
Not to mention, he wasn't the kind of young man who killed people easily.
"Well, I got the old man's money, and it's time to go"
Ash, who had taken the money from the man he had slain, turned his foot toward the king's capital.
Uh-huh.
Ashley's mansion in the Wang capital.
"I'm going to report that I went to the castle once and temporarily returned and that I'm going to participate in the World Martial Arts Congress."
The day after his arrival in the Wang capital, Ashley said so and headed to the castle alone.
"I'll find you something delicious."
Millybears went looking for food.
"Wow, I'm going to the guild to find out if there's any change about the kingdom of Ill."
Maribel headed to gather information.
"Then I'll be looking around the city a little bit."
God (the dog) went for a walk.
One leftover Rayphone.
"It's been a long time since you've been alone."
Rayphone does nothing.
"Okay, I guess I'll sleep another night"
Just sleep.
Uh-huh.
World Martial Arts Congress Western Kingdom Qualification.
The qualifying round is Battle Royal, which broke up into four blocks.
The four remaining winners in each block can compete in the main race in neutral Jarrick.
The same is true of the kingdoms of Easla and Sausatris.
Uh-huh.
"Is this the king's capital? It's busy being attacked by demons."
Ash arrived in Wang Du.
"Well, it's not a good idea to kill here on a boulder. I don't really want to pay for it, but do you want to pay for the lodging?"
It was when Ash was walking down a crowded path whining.
Someone hit Ash.
"Oh, su, excuse me"
A woman's voice.
"Ahhh! Where are you looking... Walk..."
At first it was an ash of a yelling voice, but it slowly dwindled and eventually subsided.
"I'm so sorry. to so many people, its... called drunkenness... anyway i'm so sorry"
A woman with her head peppered down.
"Oh, no, I'm fine"
Something's wrong, Ash.
"Well, are you better than that? Are you hurt or something?
What's up, Ash?
"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for your concern."
"Well, that's fine."
Ash is upset.
"And, by the way, what's your name?
"Yes? Is that a name? Oh, uh... it's Maribel. It's just Maribel. No last name."
The woman's identity was Maribel.
"Ma, you say Maribel..."
(You're right... he's already dead...)
Ash was only remembering her own girlfriend when she saw Maribel's face.
(And it really looks just like it)
