"" ""... sorry... ""

The brawl on the plains is over...

Arios, who lost to us, knelt down on the ground and bowed his head deep.

"I can be more sincere!

"Is that how you're going to apologize? It's funny."

Correction.

I was forced to apologize.

"" ""... sorry... ""

Alios bowing their heads again.

Canade and Tania look at the four of them like they're boring...... then look here.

"That's what it feels like... what's up? Do I forgive you?

"I feel like I haven't done it yet..."

"" Hih!?

Leanne and Mina trembled victoriously.

My face is distorted by fear.

... What the hell did Tania do?

I care, but I'm scared to ask.

"I was refreshed when I defeated Arios, and the purpose was to make you both apologize. How about you two?

"If I'm not mad at Rayne, that's enough."

"There's something a little short... but if that's what our husband says, that's it for you"

"... so. We accept Arios' apology. Now let's water everything."

"Knock."

Arios' face distorts into humiliation.

but it doesn't make sense if we get busted here now, because we're just beating each other up again.

He understands that, and Arios has been patient for a long time.

Arios and the others pay with their hands the dirt on their knees and stand up.

Take a deep breath to endure all sorts of Moya Moya...... open your mouth again.

"So... it's about the Lost Forest..."

"Oh, speaking of which, you were talking about that."

Because of everything, I completely forgot.

"Sure, will you cooperate? It is no exaggeration to say that the fate of the world is at stake. I don't think we have a choice not to cooperate..."

"Nyaka, you look great..."

"One more shot, shall we?

"Yes, there, calm down"

Canade and Tania enter a state of battle and rush to stop.

"I wasn't going to get involved with Arios and the others anymore... except on this matter. Talking about the fate of the world isn't a lie, either. If the Arios and their journey is delayed, for that matter, the threat of the Demon King will increase, causing damage to a variety of people. Exactly, that's not where you want it."

"What, you know what I'm talking about?"

"I'll help you."

"It's a wise decision. Damn, if I had said that from the beginning, I wouldn't have gotten this far..."

"This brave man looks great when he says he lost."

"I don't care if you think of it as a loser howl... there's nothing wrong with that. I knew I'd be happy. Crush?"

"So don't take it to that idea right away"

"Gu."

Canade and Tania looked dissatisfied...

Arios was once again raging his anger.

Maybe when these three are together, this is what happens all the time.

I hope you don't mind...

"I have no objection to cooperating... but I have one suggestion"

"What?

"Can we take care of the collection of the shield of truth?

"... what do you mean?

"We attack the lost forest."

"Ho."

Arios looked like he had found something interesting.

"Judging from what I've heard about Arios, they say the Lost Forest is easier to attack in small numbers. If you go in large numbers, there will be people who will fall off or get lost."

"So, you think the Rains are better suited?

"That's the thing. And..."

See Kanade and Tania.

Arios follows my gaze, too.

"You two hate Arios. How would you react if I told you to act together"

"Grr... you say it straight"

"It's true, isn't it?

"... okay. It doesn't matter what the beast hates."

"Arios. Don't keep them both with the beast."

"... Shit"

While tongue-beating, Arios said nothing more.

"So... what's the answer?

……

After a long stray, Arios nodded small.

"Fine. I'll leave you to attack the Lost Forest."

"That's settled."

"But don't try to get away with the shield of truth, okay? Doing that doesn't make any sense. It's something that only I, the brave, can handle."

"I'm not thinking about that. Arios is the one who needs to prepare the rewards properly."

"Yeah, I know. I, the brave man, will not step down on my reward. [M] Oh, yeah. You weren't talking about the reward properly. Payment only upon success. Twenty gold coins for the reward, okay?

"Oh, I'm not complaining"

"And attack me as soon as you can, okay?

"I know. Get ready by the end of the day, and we'll attack tomorrow."

"Lai Lai"

Arios turned his back on me, as if the conversation was over.

"Agus, Leanne, Mina. Let's go!"

Speaking to his companions, Arios and the others walked towards the city.

"Hey, Rain."

Looking back, he looked like Canade and Tania had said something.

Somehow, I could understand the content without having to ask.

"Are you sure you want to help that brave man?

"I don't feel comfortable..."

"Thanks."

I stroked their heads.

"Ni, ni?

"Hey... why are you stroking your head all of a sudden!

"You two are mad at me, aren't you? You're worried for me, aren't you? I'm happy about that... so thank you."

"Nah... Rain"

"Oh, no... I don't care about Rayne..."

"I'm glad you two feel... but bad. This time, let me help Arios."

"Why not?

"Just like I said. Arios is a brave man, so when his journey is delayed, more people suffer damage somewhere for that matter. That's not where I want it. I don't like it when it comes to helping him... but if I can handle it by moving, if there's someone I can help, can I help Arios..."

"Ugh, I really like Rayne!

But it sounds like Rayne.

"I'm sorry, let me go with the trouble"

"Yeah, never mind. I'm in a position to serve Rayne, so keep giving me orders."

"It's my job to take care of your favorite husband."

Canade and Tania laugh...

Makes me smile, too.

It was really good to meet these two.

From the bottom of my heart, I think so.

――――――――――

"Damn, damn, damn! Goddamn it, damn it. Awwwww!!!!"

Night.

Outside the city, Arios was hunting goblins alone.

With an Arios knife, Goblin is already desperate.

But Arios doesn't stop the sword.

Stick your sword at the body over and over again.

Still, there's no clearing his mind.

The frustration just solicits, and the dark emotions accumulate in my mind.

"It's impossible for me, a brave man, to lose to such a cunt... don't admit this!

Dossssss.

Dossssss.

Dossssss.

Arios looked dark and repeatedly stabbed his sword in Goblin's body.

"Is it something that can be pulled down like this... sooner or later, it must be... kukukukuku..."

Arios laughs.

His eyes were stained with the colour of madness.

"Rain Shroud... Remember"
