Lead the other world.

Debris is still descending from the ceiling destroyed by a man in black, and his feet are destabilized by a pile of debris.

It will also be a matter of time before this place is buried in the ground if intense fighting continues to take place here.

Two men, each armed and confronted by a man in black, in such a rubble and unstable scaffold.

Kuido and the finer of his covenant spirits.

Kuido felt the signs that Takumi and the others had put themselves down and moved on, turning once again to the man in black.

"Why don't you show me your face?

Kuido, who asks so, had a spiritual knife, but had no killing intentions in his eyes, on the contrary, he had some sad look on his face.

Then, without saying anything before such a kuido, the man in black let go of the pitch-black sickle in his right hand and put it away in his own shadow, taking off the hood he had worn deeply with his right hand to show his face.

All-back hair and beard in color as if wearing ash that appeared from under the hood.

And red stained right eye.

Kuido knew about this person.

"I didn't expect the long-standing resumption to take such shape." "Kensei," no, Kuido. "

He is the Adventurer Guild Branch Manager of the current Mates and Hans, who was once an adventurer as the Dark Emperor.

And Hans is also a benefactor to Kuido, who inspired him to look back at himself after his father's disappearance when Kuido had his troubles heard as an adventurer.

To Hans, who spoke without changing one expression, Kuido clouded his expression and bit his lips, putting all the topics and thoughts he was going to talk about when he met Hans in his head.

"Even you couldn't win?

"Oh... unfortunately. When I was an adventurer, I wouldn't have changed as much."

Hans, who answers so, narrowed his left eye, which is not now red stained by Kuido, who also gives a sad look.

"Don't look like that, he's the one who just came to kill himself."

"I know. But I've taken care of you a lot. It's not that easy to break."

"But the man in front of you is not what he was back then."

Even to Kuido, as Hans put it, I somehow felt that what Hans was talking to himself now was a miracle in itself, something that would already not help on top of little reason left.

But whatever state Hans is in in hostility, it doesn't change Hans being a benefactor to Kuido.

Kuido quietly grips his fist hard.

"Still."

"Really...... Grr!?

Suddenly holding his left eye down with his hand, Hans turns to Kuido, who looks at himself with a painfully distorted but sad look on his face.

"Ha, ha... you're not dressed. I'm sorry, Kuido. And finally, as the Adventurer's Branch Manager, can I ask you a favor?

"Yes."

Kuido replies briefly, staring straight back at Hans' reddish and cloudy eyes.

"Kill me for being a monster pawn."

At the same time as he uttered the word, Hans' left eye stained red, as did his right eye, and eventually became faceless.

Hans' reason, which remained, disappeared completely.

"Kui Dou..."

With a rare and worrying look on Fine's face, he turned to Kuido, who stood next to him, but opened his eyes to that look.

"I'm fine. Because I was ready."

The spirited Kuido quietly rearranged the spirit knife, staring at Hans with his straight, cloudless, prepared eyes.

"Fine, I need your help."

"Of course. His last request will be fulfilled."

Looking sideways at the side of her trusty partner, Fine smiled and set up a battle hammer next to Kuido.
