I've been banished from the brave party, and I'm glad to see that you've left the nest from me. I won't be able to help you in the future even if you ask me to, but I'm sure you'll be fine. I can't have you coming after me, Grand Saints.

37. Meanwhile, at that time, the brave Vivians... the brave hate criminals...

All of us torn apart by the Final Sword were captured by the rushing gendarmes and taken to the city of Raxmy.

Whether they are taken or not, they are taken to "jail."

Gashan!

The loud sound of the iron lattice closing echoed.

Beyond the bars, the guards in charge were looking at us with a cold look of contempt.

"Shit, let me out! I'm a brave man! Why do I have to be caught here? It's a sin! It's not forgiven! Whoa! Whoa!!

I slap the barrel so badly that it's too unfair.

He defeated Wyburn in the Final Sword and protested that he would never treat the heroes who saved the city.

"Yes, yes! Why should I go to jail? We did everything we could to save the city."

"Exactly! We've prevented Wyburn from threatening you! It's not a jail, it's a thanksgiving banquet, isn't it? Get out of here!

"That's right! They fought Wyburn bravely and desperately!

Delia, Elgar, and Prara also protested.

But when the guards raised their eyebrows,

"What are you talking about? These stupid criminals."

That's how rude he was.

"What about it?"

I am stunned by the words. [M]

"Yu, I am a brave man, a criminal...!? You have good and bad things to say! I can't believe I caught this brave man!

"I'm part of a brave party! I'm a super elite!

"Hmm! I won't be forgiven for being a criminal by grasping me as the shield of this world!

"At least you're innocent!!!

We suddenly disagree with the impossible curse of the guards.

But...

"What are you saying about wiping out the city's vital resources! This brave man has a criminal party! Heard you lost a quest in the Cursed Cave. Then he left his people behind and ran away! And this time, we destroyed the hunting grounds of important adventurers. Destroy the city's infrastructure! Infrastructure destroyed for attempted murder! What are they, other than criminals? This crime brave party!

The guards yelled at us again.

Hah, the guards shook their necks to calm themselves down.

"This is the only crime. The sentence will be confirmed soon. I may never be able to get out of the cage again, but as a criminal, I will be well rehabilitated."

"Shit! Goddamn it... Oh, my God. Damn it..."

I feel sorry for myself.

And at that time.

"Guardian? The guards?"

Lorelei called the guards with a calm voice.

"What is it?

The guards responded.

I'm sure Lorelei will try to defend me.

"... the guards. I've stopped you all."

"... what?

I can't understand what Lorelei suddenly said, and I suddenly raise a strange voice.

But Lorelei continued her words without worrying.

"This incident was caused by the hero's runaway. Moreover, I tried to stop myself without looking back. I think the damage has been done to this extent because of my modest sacrifice."

"This kid is trying to save himself."

Delia screams, but Lorelei doesn't even change her expression.

The guard leaned against Lorelei's words.

"Sure, your name's not in the brave party I heard about. But I heard you went to a brave party at the Adventurers Guild?

After being so strict,

"Aren't you one of them brave party folks?

I asked that sharply.

"Oh, yes, I'm not one of them at all."

I answered promptly.

"Ah, ah, is that so...?

The guard said with a slight pull to an answer that was too hesitant.

On the other hand, I tremble angrily at the excess.

"Shame on you, Lorelei! I can't believe I sold my people! That's what the worst guys do! Hey, guys!!

That's how I shouted.

Then Delia nodded and opened her mouth.

"... I tried to stop the brave, too."

What?

I don't understand what you're saying, and I'm going to make another weird noise.

"I feel responsible for unstoppable things, but the strength of the brave is flying out compared to ours. Please understand that we did our best to minimize the damage. And..."

After coughing up a little,

"Please understand that I am, in a sense, a 'victim' who has torn myself apart to stop a braver man than I am."

"My pussy... you..."

There is no word for the rest.

Then Elgar opens his mouth.

"Yes, Delia is right. I tried to stop it with all my might. Yes, with Lord Bashta. You did, didn't you? Lord Bashta."

Bashuta did not think for a moment,

"... yes. That's right."

I'm even more confused.

"There are also testimonies of hired porters who are so neutral. I did not participate in any criminal activity. Rather, we tried to stop the runaway brave. In other words, never on the criminal side. Can you make this clear in the record?

As if Prara wasn't too late,

"I'm with you. Despite being abandoned by the dungeon once, I tried to help the brave who ran away this time. Whatever you say, it's humane, and I think it's obvious that there's scope for circumstance!

The guards looked down on me with pity.

"... so this brave 'perpetrator' is the only one who committed the crime, and the other members are rather 'victims' who tried to prevent it?

"" "" "" Exactly!

Everyone but me voiced their voices.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, these traitors"

I scream with blood and tears.

It was only natural that all my trusted friends betrayed me.

But the betrayed companions have a pitiful look on their faces.

"It's okay, brave man. Calm down. I'll see you again. So pay for your sins."

"Oh, that's right. We're childhood friends. I will never betray you."

"I've been through a lot, but I don't think I'm going to slap a drowning dog. Brave men will reflect on this and regenerate properly. I'm here for you."

"Good luck, brave man. I won't forget that we traveled together."

Goodbye, brave man.

All the party members said.

"Uhhhhhhhhhh! You guys! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

I scream.

To tailor me only to criminals, I shouted all sorts of hate to these evil men who spoke in a blink of an eye.

The voice echoes loudly in the underground facility lined up in this jail.

And at that time.

"What the hell are you doing?"

The voice was somehow of a man with a resounding constraint.

"Oh, my God, you're..."

The guard stretches his spine and takes a cautious stance.

When the man appeared behind the bars, I accidentally rounded my eyes.

"Ah, why are you here?"

The man nodded slowly.

Hmm, I had some errands nearby.

That being said, the man orders the guards to unlock the door at the next moment.

The guards let us go as ordered.

The man's name is "Walder Dark".

He is the prime minister of the Kingdom of Granheim.

I've never met her before, but I know her face.

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you for a minute."

"Me and...?

Suddenly?

But anyway, we were freed from prison by this sudden appearance of Prime Minister Waldark.

And all of us at the brave party were ordered to appear at the royal castle.
