"It's a good night. The moon is beautiful... heh, it's a great day to take a walk"

Monica laughs calmly as she doesn't care that this one is on guard.

Capturing only the words would mean that we met in the middle of a walk...

I don't see people lurking around me...

Above all, Monica is not hostile to me.

But...

This woman is dangerous.

That's what my instincts told me.

The alarm was ringing in my head.

Standing ready to move at any time...

Until the point of criticism, I decided to keep talking, trying to explore this woman's qualities.

"You... you're one of Arios, aren't you?

"Right. My buddy... well, to tell the truth, he's a watchman."

"A watchman?

"Look, Arios, you... hey, hey, but it's too much, right? So the king sent me as a watchman. No more mischief. Also, to find out if you're worthy of the brave."

"Can I talk to Perapella about that?

"You shouldn't be telling the average person. But well... if Arios and Mr. Rain are close, I wonder if there's a problem."

"I'm not close."

"Phew, right"

Monica laughs when she dulls.

It's an innocent way to laugh the year deserves.

Yet...

I can't distract you at all.

Rather, it makes me more alert.

What the hell is posing a threat to me?

Where are you afraid of this woman?

"Why is that watchman here?

"For once, I wanted to talk to Mr. Rain."

"With me...?

"Yep. Oh, before I do, I'd like to ask you one thing... have you been able to safely seize the magic props?

"Become...!?

This guy...... knows what I'm doing, what I'm doing!?

I accidentally pull out the camouflage...

Monica leaves her weapon unarmed and exposes her body indefensibly, as it is in nature.

I raised my hands as I did.

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not going to fight, and I'm not going to stand in Mr. Rain's way."

"... you want me to believe that word?

"Yes."

Laughing, Monica nodded quietly.

It's the same, I can't feel anything called evil.

But...... that's why it's dangerous.

Even though he's a watchman, for once, he's one of Arios...

I haven't done anything to betray that Arios, and I haven't felt a piece of guilt either.

It's like you have a different structure of mind than a normal person.

"Well, I'm sure there's no hostility to me... but it's also a lame story to tell you to believe that honestly. Yes, I'm aware. So I'm going to tell you what I really want to talk about."

"Again, what's the purpose?

"It's a question of purpose."

"Inquiry?"

"Mr. Rain...... are you satisfied with the status quo?

The moment I was asked so...

Zokri and his back trembled.

You say the malice in the hidden monica erupted all at once...

You say you were switching with Reaper at some point...

Maybe now I'm dealing with something outrageous?

I remember such chills, my back trembles.

Still, you can't show weakness here.

Because when I showed him that place, he felt like he would be eaten up at once so that the weaker animals could be attacked by demons.

Try to keep your expression without...

Let it slightly frown.

"Satisfaction means... what do you mean?

"It means as it is. I have done quite a bit of research on Mr. Rayne. Beast Tamer, yet the bearer of an outrageous power to use the most powerful species. If you want to do it, you should be able to do something bigger...... yet it just fits in as an adventurer. Don't you think it's a waste? Don't you want to be more free to wield your powers? Don't you want to do whatever you want without anyone tying you up?

"... don't think so. I don't think big dreams and ambitions are right for me. Mostly, even without that, it can be filled enough. I... if I had an important companion, that would be enough"

"Hmm. Well, that's the answer I expected. So much so that you suspect that my thoughts are being read, because they are so predictable."

Am I being fooled or not?

It's hard to make a decision.

"Well, let's make another suggestion"

"Another...?

"Arios, don't you want revenge on me?

"Become..."

The invitation... that was like the devil's invitation.

"Mr. Rain was banished from the party, despite his power. In contrast, is there anything you think?

"It's..."

It used to be.

Besides, we all have them now.

I don't care.

I'm not here...

If you're not aware of the shards, you may be lying.

I am not a saint prince.

Being treated like that, being unfairly banished from the party...

There's no way there's anything you don't think.

If you didn't think of revenge against Arios, that would be a lie.

"That's not all. Insulting Mr. Rayne's people and the fact that they've been involved unilaterally... you can't forgive me, can you? Son of a Horizon lord... it was also Mr. Arios who demonized him."

"Is that true...?

"Yep. I have no proof... well, because I have a little twat and I know that. That was set up by Arios to harass Mr. Rayne on a childish eight. And... one thing about the devil. If Arios hadn't acted lightly, the Heavenly Clan would still be asleep... and Mr. Rain wouldn't have been heartbroken."

……

"And... this one thing. To some extent, don't you understand? Arios is pulling the thread behind you."

I have no certainty...

I have suspected Arios.

I conveniently have the magic tools, and there's footage of me killing people...

If you think of what Arios did to get me down, to some extent, Tsujitsu fits.

I just wonder why you do that there...

"Would you like to combine with me?

Monica has offered her hand.

"If I cooperate, we can unlock the status quo. We can clear Mr. Rain's grievances and help his people safely."

That was a difficult temptation to resist.

I don't care about me...

When they tell me I can help my people safely, I think about it a little bit.

"Not only that, but you can avenge Arios. Arios has taken the position of a brave man and has taken it upon himself. The victim is Mr. Rain… you. Because of you, Arios, Mr. Rain has suffered a lot. You, the victim, have the right to revenge."

"... I don't think that's a very knightly word."

"Well, because I have a lot of things, too. So... what do you want to do? Do you want to combine with me?

As the devil whispers...

Monica has been gentle, laughing really gently, staring at this one.

To Monica's inquiry, I...
