"So Rayne stays put, right? Rayne, there's" like, "right? We like Rain like that."
"Oh well..."
Canade's words stain his chest.
Maybe I wanted someone to say yes.
It's okay, maybe you wanted me to push your back.
"Thanks, Canade"
"Ha-ha-ha."
Stroke Canade's head pounding.
There's something about me saying it, or let me say it...
Still, my heart was lightening.
The fact that I wasn't alone was relieving my mind of the burden.
"... Huh!?
The way I remembered something, all of a sudden, Canade turned red.
"What's going on?
"What!? No, you know, the... I just said I like you because, you know, that's not what I meant, as a buddy, but, but I knew it wasn't just that... ahhh!?
"Or Canade?
"Ugh... never mind. Because I do a little suicide bombing and I'm just so embarrassed."
"Oh, yeah?
Canade was dyeing her face bright red.
Looking from the side, it looks like I did something big...
Well, I don't know if I'd pursue it any more than Canade says it's nothing.
After getting lost, I decided to just keep an eye out and see how it went.
If things are going to go wrong, then we'll talk again.
"Uh... Rain, Rain"
"Yeah?"
"That heavenly tribe has repelled, but what are we going to do now? Looking for a way to seal it?
"There's that too... but you've got something to do before then"
"Nha? Things to do? Did something happen?"
"I do."
... We have to pursue Arios.
――――――――――
"What can I do for you?
Called a line of Arios and the others to the village chief's house.
Inside are my party, Axe and Cell.
And a little village chief and villagers.
Though a house of considerable size, I feel narrow when this many people gather.
Nevertheless, I want you to be patient there because it's not like talking where you don't know who's listening.
"We're busy. We're going to have to go after that Heavenly Nation. If it's a boring story, why don't you come back later?
"Is that how you're gonna run away?
"What...?
I dared you to provoke me.
Arios stares at this one, but he's not scared at all.
"We were talking about this when Illis showed up, weren't we? Iris is cooperating with Arios. The reason for this is that Arios let me go..."
"Huh!?
Arios' expression is distorted.
"Hey, what..."
"No way that's happening!
"That's what brave men do."
An upset runs among the villagers.
However, many still believed in Arios again, and words popped up to defend him.
The villagers were all evacuated when we talked earlier. I guess you haven't heard.
Arios smiles at his mouth when he sees such villagers.
"... will you stop talking boring? I've risked my life to help the villagers. And yet, I won't let the devil go. Not to mention working with that demon... so much for the world superstition."
"What do you think? It's suspicious."
"What?
"I don't know what the purpose is, but I'm pretty sure Arios tried to use Illis. Sure, that's what I heard. But... Arios looked sweetly at Iris. Probably thought you could control it. But Illis was up there. I ran away from Arios' hand and ate a painful cliche... isn't that the place?
"... you say it as if you've seen it"
"I still know so much about Arios."
We've traveled together quite a bit.
Arios' character, what he's likely to do, can be predicted to some extent.
I tried to use Illis, but the other way around.
That would be the truth about this one.
But...
The damage increased because of all that crap.
If Arios hadn't unsealed it, this wouldn't have happened.
Thinking about it, I get angry.
"Huh, crap. It's all just your speculation. Do you have proof?
"It's..."
"You don't, do you? There is no way. It's your boring paranoia. [M] I can't believe you're trying to discredit me with that... are you ready?
Arios is a brave man.
It goes deep with the country.
If you report me like that as a traitor, you'll get nominated.
Nevertheless, we can't back off here.
What would you do next if you let Arios go wild after doing this...
But first, we have to do something about the status quo.
I have to poke proof that Arios' words are a lie...
"I'll be the witness. Rayne didn't lie to me."
"I'll be a witness, too."
Axe and Cell came forward.
"What Rayne is saying is true. I did hear that in my ear."
"Likewise, he's not lying. The brave are the ones who lie."
"Become..."
To an unexpected witness, Arios panicked.
"Kid, do you... do you know what will happen to me? With my voice, I can turn you into traitors to your country, right?
"Ha, if you do, do it yourself! What a brave man. I admired you. You look like an idiot. I can't believe you were such a scumbag."
"I don't know what the purpose is, but you're the one that's causing this? You're not aware of that?
"Gu... here, these guys...!
Arios' face turns blue, then red.
"Arios, please calm down"
"So-so, there's nothing nasty about that. He said not to panic."
In the words of Mina and Lene, Arios seems to have regained some composure.
The expression remains harsh, but the tone proceeds calmly and calmly.
"I see... I see what you guys are saying. but what's the proof?
"It's..."
Axe mumbles.
"There's no evidence that I did that, is there? Of course. I can't possibly do that. I'm a brave man. I'm fighting to protect the people who live in this country. And yet, I don't do anything that puts people at risk. You will testify... but who do people believe in my words, who are just adventurers and brave men?
"Gu... this guy..."
"Stop. I know how you feel, but not if you get your hands on me here."
Axe grips his fist, but the cell stopped him.
Arios sees it, he's getting better and better.
"You said something boring to me, didn't you? I'll make sure to pay this debt back. I'm all over the Devil's case now... but you should be ready when it's over. I guess I'm sorry it wasn't just about stripping you of your Adventurer license. Imprisonment may also be possible. I need you to make a good atonement for the crime of fooling me."
"I wish you had proof, right?
And then, Sora came out of her mouth.
"I have proof."
"... what?
"Hey, is that true?
Axe is eating up for the conversation.
"Yes, it's true."
"Mm-hmm. Don't move. Shigeko, there's something going on!
Luna also joined the conversation.
"Stupid...... crap, just a hunch. There can't be any such thing."
"Ha-ha! There's something here! Come on, it's Sola. I'll show you."
"Why is Luna partitioning when it's what Sola said... not at all"
Though I bumped, Sola cast her magic.
Then...
'No matter how much you let me go... the human being. Besides, brave man. Do you think I will obey such a man forever?
"Become... Ki, you! That's a different story. '
'To thank you for letting me go, I will cooperate with you... that was the promise, but I'm tired of it. I mean, it was time to kill the survivors of the Pagos... so let's get this far in the cooperative relationship'
"Become, Guru... you... ungrateful! How dare you say that? You let me go!? And yet you're going to betray me!?
Promises are meant to be broken.
An illusion of Iris and Arios was cast into the universe.
"Is this...?
"It's a magical recreation of the memories of the place."
When I looked at Sola like I asked, I got that answer back.
"Cut and reproduce certain times in the past...... well, simply put, it's magic to see what happened in the past again. As you can see, it is exquisitely reproduced, making it impossible to tamper with it for your convenience. Reproduce the facts as they are. This will prove enough, won't it?
"Become... stupid..."
Arios' face turns blue.
Then, Mina and Leanne turned blue, too.
Agus... keeps his faceless expression and doesn't know what he's thinking.
"Finally, there is another piece of evidence"
That said, Sola took out a dagger dirty with blood.
