He forcefully pushed back the axe he had received, intertwining the spear and bouncing it off as it was.

When an axe dancing through the universe twirls pierces the ground, the executioner wearing a cloth from his head takes a couple of steps back as it were.

I held her up by removing the wooden platform that was holding Asuna in place, holding her around with my eyes.

"Lord, I'm sorry... I'm sorry...!

"Asna......"

I don't know what happened.

But I can only tell from what it looks like and what it looks like, that it was pretty tragic.

She had a beautiful blonde ponytail as a trademark, but now that hair was badly dirty and painful and her hair was messy.

I guess I suffered for a long time...... I can see my face and clothes are also badly dirty, totally debilitating and cut off.

I would have liked to hear a lot of things right away, but the circumstances around me won't allow that.

I was already surrounded by soldiers with swords.

The problem starts here.

It will still take some time for King Celtic to arrive... we need to buy some time.

People's anger is slapping me on the back from now on.

When I saw them over my back, everyone kept screaming in a tremendous shape.

Shake my eardrum so that curses like "Don't Disturb Me", "Kill Me Quickly," and "Don't Forgive My Incompetence" fold.

Still a curse...... plus I guess the crowd psychology is working.

This is not good...... it could be a riot if it stays this way.

"Asna, let me ask you one thing. Did you... hit people?

To my inquiry, she shook her head sideways weakly.

Well... then we can do something about it.

At that time, only one man, equipped differently, presumably a commander, approached me with his hand in control of the soldiers around him.

"What are you gonna do, Lord? I want to save her too... but I can't stop her any sooner than this is happening to people."

I was a little surprised to be hung up on words that weren't what I expected.

This guy after a while......

"King Celtic is on his way here now. I am here by virtue of His Majesty's life, Mei. He told me to stop the execution. This is the proof."

"Become, to Your Majesty!? Oh, that's... Your Majesty's dagger indeed...! I don't know what happened... but I'm Eddie, head of the Celtic Knights. But if this happens, even His Majesty can stop it... this hatred is unusual."

Is this still the Knight Commander King Celtic was talking about?

Perhaps he sees something in his eyes that I don't see.

Maybe that made me question the curse and want to help Asuna.

I also managed to escape the curse by questioning it.

In other words, I thought that this treatment of incompetence and unusual hatred could most likely be dispelled by "realizing" the anomaly.

"Your Majesty told me. Mr. Eddie's special powers... the people of the country know that, don't they?

"Oh, yeah, it's known... in this situation where I said something..."

"Give me that demon stone. I'll build a foundation for you to listen to. After that, we'll manage until His Majesty arrives..."

"... ok"

I entrusted Asuna to him, and I received the Demon Stone, and I turn to the people who fill the square.

The air trembled due to tremendous anger and cursing, and it was not strange whenever anything happened.

Asna was captured, indeed, about twelve days ago.

The brave men and Asuna left Ist the day after I chose to die... about a month and a half ago.

I don't know how you got around to Celtic, but it sounds like you were spending a not-so-short time in this town as incompetent...

This way, I guess all the people in town know Asuna is incompetent.

Otherwise this will not happen.

"Hercules!"

When the stick and bow were removed from the notebook and immediately given life, the giant Hercules appeared.

The people were somewhat frightened by the appearance of Hercules, but still continue to shout at Asuna.

"Hercules, I want to talk to everyone. Please calm this place down."

When I say that and block my ears, Hercules laughs niggardly at you for figuring it out.

"Hold on tight...... let's do everything we can"

That's how Hercules inhaled his breath heavily.

I can put my strength into my ear blocking hands.

"Quiet!!!!

The moment, the atmosphere swayed.

The only vibration in my voice rocked the execution bench rattling, and I was nearby and I was about to be blown off the spot.

That's Hercules...!

Everyone held their ears to that too loud, and the square, which until earlier had been filled with anger, was quickly engulfed in silence.

Hercules vacates for a little while and breathes in again.

"Sorry to surprise you! Everybody knows there's a lot to think about! But first, I want you to hear my possessor! Please!"

That's what Hercules said. He bowed his head to me.

"Thank you Hercules..."

"Hey... it's a light one"

I smiled back at Hercules, who laughed furiously, and I carried the Demon Stone to my mouth for magic.

'Ladies and gentlemen... my name is Lord Irvine. Nieberg, I'm from Ist.'

When I said that, the square began to bother me.

You must have realized that the Lord that Asna was apologizing for was about me.

There may be some more about the Kneeberg Fighting Games later.

What King Celtic knew was likely still under discussion here.

I took a deep breath and breathed.

Byrne, I'm sorry.

I will break my promise.

"I... I was once called incompetent"

I'll tell you what I've been through.

I avoided important things like life magic, Mr. Crown, and distrust of the temple.

They are likely to plant extra suspicion.

You should simply tell them now.

'Someone created the concept of incompetence and gave each other feelings of hatred… this power on a global scale, no one would have been able to realize that, etc. Of course I was incompetent. I think I realized the abomination up to the point of being unusual because I knew my powers and could relax in my heart. I don't know why that's happening. But this concept... I want to lose it.'

Of course I know that you won't understand right away.

You just have to create a flow that you can listen to and also be one ingredient that restores calm by thinking about it.

"Asuna was once the best wizard in Ist. I don't know why you're losing power right now... but I'm sure it's temporary '

I really don't know, but here's what I have to say.

The folks are quite bothered, but I didn't hear any more anger or curse until earlier.

We all don't know what's going on and I guess we don't know what to do.

'I don't think I'll believe this story any time soon, and I know how anxious and confusing you all are. I just want you to know one thing. Someone called incompetent is also... desperate to live. Me too... and this Asuna... desperately! So, where is the border? Likewise laugh, cry, anger, joy, and… live. It's not what's in front of you. I'm human. I'm definitely a willing person......! I can't believe you're not human if you can't use magic... you're so sad...!

Guys...... I'm sure it's the first time something's happened.

Thinking about the feelings of someone called incompetent.

That's why I worry...... I don't get it.

Because the subject, who had been unquestionably hateful before, now... began to feel like he was the same person.

That's when my shoulder was slapped, and when I turned around, Mr. Eddie was giving me his hand.

"Thank you, Lord...... I'll take care of it later"

"Yes......"

He received the Demon Stone from me and turned to the people.

Apparently there are no more... strays.

His eyes were telling the story.

'Guys, I want you to listen to me once now. Everyone will understand that I have the power to discern evil men. I was aware. that she is innocent... forgive me for not doing anything'

I'm sure he suffered, too.

So much so that it was featured in an intelligence magazine.

A case without strangers in the Wang capital Celtic... things have grown too big to be stopped by Mr. Eddie.

Neither was the request for re-examination made because of his incompetence, and I guess King Celtic was not at that point because of his own illness.

Everyone begins to squirm again at his remarks.

Mr. Eddie took control of it with his hands and continued the conversation quietly.

"For my part, the existence of incompetence was the object of disgust. Because that's what I thought those who were strong were right. But I listened to her and you Lord...... I realized my immaturity, my stupidity. She never once said," I didn't hit myself. "If I were in the same position, I would have sued desperately. No one wants to die. But she accepted everything. Because she tried to wield violence and made me feel scared... because she once did terrible things to you, Lord, who was incompetent... and that's why she tried to make amends with death. Stand here on this execution bench! She apologized without being frightened to death! She's the one... I think she's really strong...!" Because you're incompetent, you have to change your consciousness!

"Exactly."

Good...... you seem to have managed to make it.

"Your Majesty...!

When King Celtic appeared with the Demon Stone in his hand, everyone knelt on the spot.

I'll do the same.

King Celtic put his hand on my shoulder with a gentle smile as he approached my side.

"Well done. You stopped me. It's Lord. In jeopardy Celtic... thank you"

"Your Majesty..."

The mightiest king turned around and turned his back on me.

Just looking at that back, it's like being wrapped up in something warm... that's how I feel.

And he began to speak to the people in a powerful and gentle voice.

"Everybody, raise your faces." And I want you to ask me, please. I was dying of a magic disease. "

The square gets noisy all at once.

King Celtic, who would have expected it, continued the conversation as it were, regardless.

'I kept my mouth shut about worrying everyone... sorry. Besides, I need to beat the disease... that's what I thought. But the truth is, I'm a human child, and my life is dying. That's what this Lord saved me from. And in talking to Lord, I heard what incompetence was, too. You won't believe it any time soon. But in the next word, you'll all notice. Who hates this Asuna now?

The square remained surrounded by silence.

King Celtic nods and continues the conversation slowly.

'I'm sure Asna tried to hit him. Of course you must be punished for giving fear by it. But I think I've had enough of that punishment... if you disagree, let's hear it'

After all, the square remains quiet and everyone awaits the words of King Celtic.

"I also know what it's like to be attacked by a family. But please forgive me... why don't you stop this execution?... this is it '

That being said, King Celtic bowed his head.

I can see the people breathing in that appearance.

The deed is above all honorable because everyone reveres and is a great king whom everyone acknowledges.

King Celtic raised his face and asked the people again.

"I was doomed to die today." But I was reborn. I think this is heavenly destiny. Guys, I want you to think again. And indeed, are those who are called incompetent evil? Our Celtic people are a proud and brave clan... and it is only then that we reach out... that I think it is the true strength we seek... yes. There is true courage and a strong soul in our breasts. Come on, let's remember that pride. Our hands are... to save someone. '

Everyone had their eyes closed and their hands on their chests.

The king's words sounded quietly and surrounded people's hearts warmly... that's what I felt.
