37. Meanwhile, by then, the brave Vivians were: - The brave hate criminals.

All of us, worn out by the Final Sword, were seized by the runaway gendarmes and taken to the city of Laksumi.

They will take you to the innkeeper or not.

Gashan!

The closing but irresistible sound of an iron lattice sounded.

Beyond the iron lattice, the guard in charge turned a cold gaze at us with a disdainful look.

"Damn it! Get it out! I'm a brave man. ⁉ Why do you have to be captured here! It's a crime! It's not about being forgiven! Whoa! Whoa!

I slap the iron lattice with cancer for excessively unfair treatment.

He defeated Wyburn in the Final Sword and protested that he would never be treated like a hero who saved the city.

"Yes, yes! Why do we have to go into the barn? We did everything we could to save the city."

"Exactly! You've saved us from the threat of Wyburn! Isn't it the thanksgiving banquet" Uggs "that should be welcomed, ⁉ just get it out of here!

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

Delia, Elgar and Prala also raised their voices of protest.

But when the guard frowned,

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

That's what I said.

"What?"

I'm flattered by that word.

"Yu, I, the brave, am a criminal...!? You, you've got something to say and something bad to say! I can't believe you grabbed this brave man and he's a criminal!

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

"Uhm! Grab me as the shield of this world. ⁉ That's not to be forgiven!

"At least Atashi is innocent!!!

We vehemently argue against the unlikely curse of a guard.

But...

"What are you talking about keeping the town's vital resources extinguished! There's a criminal party just named after this brave man! I hear you've failed your quest in the Curse Cave. I hear you ran away leaving your people alone then! And this time it destroyed the hunting grounds of the important adventurers. The destruction of the city's infrastructure! Infrastructure destroyed in attempted murder! Say what those guys are other than criminals! There's this crime brave party!

The guard raised his anger again and scolded us.

Ha, and the guard shook his neck sideways to calm himself down,

"This is all the crime. The sentence will be finalized soon. You may never get out of the cage again, but as a criminal, you must be well rehabilitated."

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

I regret and toothpick.

and that's when.

"The guard? The guard?"

Lorelei called on the guard in a calm voice.

"What is it?

The guard reacted.

I'm sure Lorelei will try to defend me, too.

"... the guard. I stopped you all."

"... what?

I don't understand what Lorelei said all of a sudden, and I unwittingly raise my voice.

But Lorelei continued his words without worrying.

"One of the reasons for this is that the brave men ran wild. Besides, I tried to stop myself without looking back. I think the damage is done to this extent because of my little sacrifice."

"This kid is trying to help himself. ⁉"

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

The guard tilted his neck at Lorelei's words.

"Surely your name is not among the brave party members I was hearing about. But I have information that you've entered a brave party in the Adventurers Guild?

After being so harsh,

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

He asked so sharply.

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

I answered quickly.

"Uh, oh, really...?

The guard said with a slight pull to the answer without any hesitation.

On the other hand, I tremble in anger at the excess.

"Shame on you, Lorelei! I can't believe I'm selling my people! That's what the shitty bastard does! Hey you guys!!

That is how he cried out.

Then, Delia also nods and opens her mouth.

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

"What?"

I don't know what you mean, I raise my voice weird again.

"We feel responsible for what we couldn't stop, but the power of the brave is less flighty than ours. Please understand that it was the best we could do just to reduce the damage. And..."

Cough it up a little, then

"Please understand that I am, in a way, a 'victim', shattered and worn out to stop a brave man stronger than me"

"Oh, man... you..."

I have no words for the rest.

Then Elgar opens his mouth too.

"Yeah, Delia's right. I tried everything I could to stop it, too. Yes, with Lord Bashuta. You did, huh? Lord Bashuta."

Bashuta thinks for a moment. After doing the sleigh,

"... yes. Yes, sir."

What? I'm even more confused.

"There are also testimonies of hired porters who are thus neutral. I did not participate in any criminal activity. Instead, we tried to stop the runaway braves. I mean, it's never on the criminal side. Can you specify this in the written statement?

Prala also spoke as quickly as if it were too late,

"I'm with you. Even though they left me in the dungeon once, I tried my best to help the brave men who would run wild this time. Whatever you say yourself, it's humanitarian behavior, and I think it's obvious that there's room for extenuating circumstances!

The guard looked down at me with a pitiful gaze.

"... that means only this brave man of 'the perpetrator' committed the crime, and the other members rather tried to prevent it 'the victim'?

"" "." "Exactly!

Everyone but me spoke up and assured me.

"Ko, these backcutters are awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ⁉"

I scream in tears of blood.

It was only natural because all my trusted companions betrayed me.

But the betrayed fellows have some pitiful look on their faces.

"It's okay, brave man. Relax. I'll see you later. So make sure you pay for your sins."

"Oh, yeah, you are. Aren't we childhood friendly? Never betray."

"Me too, there was a lot going on, but I'm not going to slap a drowning dog. The brave man will regenerate properly after reflecting on this case, right? Because I'm here for you."

"Good health, brave man. I won't forget that we were able to travel together (in a way)"

"Goodbye, brave man."

All the party members said.

"Ugh, ooh, ooh, ooh! You guys. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ⁉"

I scream.

To tailor me only to criminals, I raised a blatant voice of hatred to these evil guys who flashed their backs in an instant.

The voice echoes loudly in the underground facility alongside this hut and the wooden spirit.

and it was then.

"Damn, what are you fussing about"

The voice belonged to a man with some well-sounding discouragement.

"Oh ⁉ you are ⁉"

The guard stretches his spine and takes a cautious stance.

When the man showed up across the iron lattice, I accidentally rounded my eyes.

"Oh, you... why are you here ⁉"

The man nodded slowly.

"Well, I had some errands nearby."

With that said, the man commands the guard to unlock it at the next moment.

The guards freed us as they were commanded.

The man's name is' Waldark '.

He is the prime minister of this kingdom of Grandheim.

It's my first meeting, but I know about my face.

Actually, I wanted to talk to you a little bit.

"With me...?

All of a sudden?

But anyway, this is how we were freed from our chambers by this waldark prime minister who suddenly appeared.

And to all of us at the brave party, an order was given to appear in the royal castle.
