There was an appearance of Arios in the underground prison of the royal castle, where the light would not shed a trace.

Arios has been put in jail before, but things were very different then.

Each and every one of them, with their cells appreciated and completely separated from their peers...

Three more magic locks to seal the power completely.

It was chained in that state and sealed the freedom of the flesh as well.

"Damn, damn, damn...! What the hell is this?!? Why should I, the brave one, be seen like this!

Even though he was deprived of his liberty, it should be noted that Arios continued to vomit a grudge verse.

Why have we found ourselves in this situation?

Why are you being treated like this?

They all deserve it...

I don't understand that, and naturally, I don't reflect on it.

I just bark that it's unreasonable.

He was like a child.

Play tricks and get scolded...

But it fumbles without reflection.

That's exactly what Arios looks like now, and nothing has changed.

"Agus! Leanne! Mina!

I call my buddy's name, but he's not responding.

That should be it, too.

Just in case, Arios and his people are imprisoned in separate places.

"Can't you hear me!? Agus! Leanne! Mina! With the help of you guys, can you manage to break the lock!? Can you hear me!?

I rely on the power of my people, Arios, but I have no reaction to that.

In the first place......

Even if my people were here, they wouldn't be able to live up to that demand.

Or maybe I didn't respond.

Though my companions also followed Arios and acted in a grown...

Given the basics, all culprits are in Arios.

Arios' unthinkable behavior involved his peers… as a result, he fell.

Would you help such Arios?

Would you turn your trust to the way it's always been?

It's like even a kid would know if he thought about it a little bit, but Arios would never notice that.

It's just convenient and all I can do is call my people by their names.

"... pathetic, Arios."

"Are you...!

Argus was in front of the cell if you noticed.

It feels more like I'm here to see what's going on than to talk to you.

"Is your head cold?

"Get me out of here now! I'm a brave man! I don't remember being treated like this!

"Phew... apparently you haven't learned one thing while this is all you see"

"I didn't do anything wrong!

"You think it's the right thing to do to try to plunge an innocent human being and kill multiple adventurers for it?

"Oh, that's..."

"That's not all. Even during the case of the demons of the southern continent, there is no clear evidence, but I hear you have put one adventurer in your hands. Sounds like you liked everything else, huh?

"Gu......"

You lose the intimidation released from Argus, and Arios can't say anything.

"One thing today, something to tell you?

"... what is it?

"The day has come to break your sins. The day after tomorrow."

"Become...!?

Arios was shocked.

He didn't believe the word "death penalty" that Argus said.

Because, on occasion before, I have received similar attention.

But Argus doesn't seriously punish...

All had ended with attempts, or a significant commutation of sentences.

I therefore thought that there would be no death penalty this time either.

It would just be a threat.

That's right. I was relieved.

But now...... Argus had serious eyes.

"Ho, are you serious!? I'm a brave man...!

"Say it yet. Your brave men have been disqualified. Now I'm just a fool"

"Bye, silly......"

"We have until the day after tomorrow. I hope to face my sins by then and reflect a little"

Argus turns his back and walks away.

Without even pulling that back, Arios was flabbergasted.

――――――――――

"Why... how could you do this..."

Arios was nodding as he tried to hold his head.

I can't stop thinking about the word "death penalty" that Argus told me.

Even though I am a brave man.

Even though it is venerated by all people.

And yet, how...

"... yes, it's Rain. Everything went crazy, crazy because of him... his, it's Rain's fault...! It is so decided!!!

I don't care what you think, nothing but resentment, but I can't get a decent word for Arios right now.

He lets his hatred for Rayne be solicited as he speaks of grudge festivals like he throws up a curse.

Make someone your enemy and divert your attention from the sins you have committed.

It was the way to escape reality that Arios has been doing.

"Damn it, damn it! Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!!! Here I am, here I am! Something that ends, this is the place!!!!!

I lost to Rain twice.

The mention that shattered my pride, locked me in a serious cell.

It's all Rain's fault.

You can't die without clearing this grudge.

We have to go backwards.

"Yes, I am right... I am absolutely. So Rayne has to cry and beg forgiveness......!!!

burned the flame of hatred to its fullest. At that time,

"What...?

Dosari and the knight on guard fell.

When you're wondering, a familiar figure appears.

"Monica......!

"Shit... don't shout out loud, Arios"

Monica dives in her voice and says so, clasps the body of the fallen knight and takes the key to her cell.

I used it to open Arios' cell.

"I'm late. I won't do it anymore. I'm here to help."

"Are you going to help me...?

"Yes, of course. We've already rescued the others."

"Well... well done. That's Monica, I can count on you."

"No, I only move for Arios."

"But the king calls me a traitor... what happened after this..."

"Don't worry about that. Because I can count on you very much. Come on, Arios... why don't you come with me to my people?

Monica, who says so, was laughing.

He had a terribly distorted grin.
