My familiar home is vandalized as if it had been entered an empty nest.
I should have left a message, I can't see Run anywhere.
To an unbelievable sight, Lino was standing up at his doorstep.
"Ariez, this..."
"It doesn't look like it's just an empty nest..."
Alice removes a leather bag with gold coins from the open cabinet to make sure the contents are safe.
Evidence that the intruder's purpose is not hardware.
"So, the purpose, after all, Lan?
"I think so. But if you're just taking Run, why are you looking for a home..."
An unpleasant thought passed Lino's head when Ariez spoke that far.
Run right to your room and check on the shelves by the bed.
"None..."
Maybe it's falling on the floor.
I bet on a wish to look, but nowhere.
The red necklace where Rhina's soul is sealed is missing.
"Lino, what's wrong?"
"No. Rhina's neckline is nowhere to be found..."
I give it back to Alice, who followed me.
"Lino's necklace is gone. I mean, the slaver who took Run, he knows about the necklace...?
"I don't know what to do, it's my fault... Because I left Rhina, I didn't take Lan..."
"Lino, it's later that you get depressed. This is clearly illegal. It's absolutely unacceptable to bring back an adventurer-qualified run as a slave"
Unconcealable anger, felt in the faceless.
It wasn't passed on to Run, but Ariez cherished Run as Ariez.
I can't forgive you, such as forcing her back.
"Let's go find it. That's all he stands out for, there must be about a sighting."
"... right. Let's get you back together, Lan."
Let's start with listening.
Clean up later, Lino and Ariez leave the house.
But Lino has one thing in mind.
(My power, it's back...?
A sword lowered to the waist, unusually heavy.
When I was in church, I should have been as usual.
Divide into two hands and start by listening to the neighbors.
But the carriage was parked in front of the house, I only got some information.
Carriages and other common things that run around the King's Capital, clues are interrupted there.
If this happens, we'll have to look for it in the dark clouds.
While expanding his search, Lino came from the eastern section to the northern section with the church.
"Ha... ha..."
My breath rises through the run.
The weight of the sword lowered to his waist.
(After all, I, I haven't changed anything... Without Rhina, she would remain the original weak me......)
Running loose, gradually turning into walking, and his legs stopped.
Breathe, then walk out slowly.
It's time near the church.
Shall I put it in the ear of the port for once?
Moving on as I pondered, the moment I saw the cathedral tower across the street.
"... that?
My body is lighter.
▽ ▽
Underground of the mansion, a sunless sitting cell.
I've lived in a space with only the worst memories for years, and I'm back.
In the end, as usual, I went back to living like a slave.
Run to remove the iron mask and expose the blonde hair stretched to the bosom.
Two things were lying to Lino.
One is that there are no scars on your face.
The other was that he was not exactly a slave, but that his father —— who could also be called that -- was under house arrest by that man, who was treated like a slave.
And one thing I kept secret, not a lie.
"Mr. Lino killed the dragon, the dragon killer...... Then I, with him..."
From pale eyes, large grains of tears spill.
In the life to come, the frill piece will be bloody, dirty and torn.
Don't let it happen.
Don't tarnish the memories of your short but irreplaceable, precious days.
Lan took off his clothes and carefully folded them, wearing a worn grey slave outfit.
"Ha ha, I did it. Mr. Leidork."
"Oh, no, Mr. Raga. You're in a good mood."
In the guest's room, Raga laughs in a good mood.
"Even so. I just brought back the slave who was running away."
"It is. Above all."
"Even more so, the sealed necklace of the dragon killer. I got this, too."
"... the dragon killer, the necklace?
Reydork's arm, reaching for tea, stops perfectly.
But the expression didn't collapse, and I just kept staring at Raga's face with a glimpse.
"Yeah. As I told you before, the slave was with the dragon killer girl. She took her home while she was away and accidentally left her necklace in her hand."
"Oh, my God, you're a handful. … so, that necklace. Do you have it now?"
"No, I'm throwing it inside the treasure trove. Because I can't carry that horrible thing with me."
"Really? That's more than anything."
As he drank the tea in the cup quickly, Leidork took a seat.
Weave the coat, take the standing stick and turn it in circles.
"Then, Mr. Raga, I beg your pardon at this"
"Oh? That's a lot of sudden. Even if he's slower."
"It was a busy thing. I also have to inform people I know about the dragon killing. Now, excuse me for this."
Take a silk hat for Raga.
That's how he left this mansion.
As we climb through the lavish gates, we look back at the end and turn our gaze of pity.
"... Goodbye, Mr. Raga. We'll probably never see each other again."
It's pity for those who have stepped on the tiger's tail.
If I hadn't hit badly and lurked in the darkness with adults, I'd have lived more.
Most of all, pity doesn't make you feel any shards of sympathy or emotion.
You'll soon forget about Raga, too.
"Come on, the resurrection of the dragon killer. I need to let you all know. Especially for him."

My body is light.
It's like when you're wearing Linea's necklace.
"When I was in church, I knew it wasn't my fault!
Run to the cathedral.
My breath lasts.
Feels like I could run anywhere.
But it's still weaker than when I was with Rhina.
Pass in front of the cathedral to a luxury residential neighborhood lined with mansions.
My body gets lighter and lighter.
The liner is close, I can feel it with my senses.
"Ahead......!
Turn the corner and run.
Wearing a swallow tail suit, he was mistaken for a silk hat gentleman.
Without noticing the glance directed at Chirali and this way.
"... here"
The mansion you arrived at.
From inside the mansion, I feel the liner clearly.
"Definitely. Rhina is here."
More than I took away to Rhina, eighty-nine, the opponent is the Dragon Man.
If you get your necklace back, it'll rain blood again.
It's not clear, I'm not ready.
Still, you can't abandon the run.
Lino cemented his resolve as he gently stroked his lower back sword.
