"Hey, what the hell...?

The remaining soldiers raised their voices of confusion.

More than fear, he seems stunned without knowing what's going on.

I walked unconsciously.

It's a weak foothold, but my legs are stopping in panic over there.

It was easy to pack the time.

"There is...!

"Grrr......!

The soldiers, whose distance from me is within ten meters, disappear one after the other with bitter sounds.

"Oh, you... who..."

The bewildered expression of the survivors had now turned into a clear fear.

"Go away."

I took a step further.

The rest of the soldiers vanished without even screaming.

"Are you all right?

I speak to a falling girl.

"Are you...?

She looks up at me with a flashing face.

I stood up to support my sword.

"Thank you. My name is Shea Flamlight."

A girl named Shea politely greets her.

Is he about seventeen years old?

The knight armor that holds it together is scratchy, but if you look closely, you can tell it's pretty superior.

"Chromium."

I'll call you back.

I left my last name on the ground.

"Oh, you know, you knocked down the soldiers earlier -- could you use magic?

"Magic..."

Sigh gently.

Two years ago, that day, I lost all my magic.

All I have right now is this [dark] skill.

I just didn't feel like explaining that for long.

"... that's the place"

Return the words appropriately.

"Um...!

Shea spoke to me again.

In a stronger tone earlier.

"I have one favor to ask you. Will you listen to me?"

"Please... what?

"Actually..."

Shea suddenly got on both knees on the ground.

He's looking up at me with all the momentum of being grounded.

There seemed to be something wrong.

SIDE Shea

"Hey.........?

Shea Flamwright stood up flashly before the body of her returning sister.

How harsh the hell have you been tortured?

He was subjected to all kinds of violence by the Duke of Liot and his men, deprived of his dignity, both as a person and as a woman.

Clear beauty is distorted by fear.

The limbs bend in an unanswered direction and are covered in blood.

"Agu... Ugh, yeah... eh"

Shea vomited on the spot.

He vomited until the contents of his stomach were empty and continued to vomit even when it was empty.

My sister's figure floats behind my brain.

After losing my parents early, my sister raised Shea in my place.

She was a gentle and riddled beauty.

He was smart, stood his sword arm, and was active in the Knights of the Country.

He was scouted by the Duke of Liot six months ago and began to head the Knights under him.

I was proud, my sister.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Even as the tears cleared, Shea continued to whimper.

The chewed lips tear and the dripped blood falls on my sister's face.

Red muscles flow down like tears.

"I will never forgive you... I will kill you...!

Later, only anger, hatred and vengeance remained for Liot.

"─ I seek revenge against the Duke of Liot."

Shea knelt before me and explained the situation.

"Sister's revenge, you mean"

Here's a summary of her story.

Shea's sister said she was head of the Duke's Knights.

The Duke - I mean, Liot was drowning in gold and women, imposing heavy taxes on the people.

I think he behaves like a greedy guy.

Shea's sister, who whispered it, bought Liot's wrath.

And after all the torture he and his men had inflicted on him, he was killed.

Shea vowed revenge.

In such a fold, Liot laid eyes on Shea's beauty and dispatched her men to make her his own.

She refused Liot's offer and fought with her sister's shapely armor and sword.

That's where they wanted to go. It seemed like it was me.

"So, what's a favor?

I asked Shea.

Well, I can largely imagine.

"I want you to help me take my sister's revenge."

Shea stared straight at me.

"Are you willing to kill the Duke?

"Liot is protected by many soldiers, and he himself is a fierce warrior. It's very impossible from the front, but if it's an assassination or..."

And, Shea.

"The opponent is the absolute power of the province. It won't be easy to sneak into the hall either. I was wondering if the help of Chrome could open that breakthrough… could you help me?"

Saying, Shea suddenly rubbed her head against the ground.

"We will pay you as much as you want. Even if it takes me a few years or a lifetime... with my help earlier, I'm sure the other duke will stand up to me..."

In common sense, it's not like asking a stranger to do it.

It's not what I asked for.

No matter how much you get paid, it's ridiculous, such as challenging the 'absolute power of this region' if you borrow her words.

I'm sure Shea, too, knows a hundred things about that and asks for them.

I'm desperate.

The thought of Walla, too, I guess.

"─ Vengeance, huh?"

I didn't expect you to step into the land to avenge Liot and meet a man with the same desire for revenge.

Should it be called an odd edge?

"Nice."

I replied softly.

"I knew you couldn't, could I? I'm sorry. All of a sudden I asked you to do this. Yes?

Shea became a pocan face in the middle of the word.

"What? Huh? I can't believe..."

"Fine, I'll help you."

"Yes, okay!? The other duke - and one of the strongest brave parties in the world!?"

"You must be the one who asked for it"

"You took on so much too lightly, I'm surprised..."

"Well, should I have said no?

Either way, one of my purposes is Liot.

If she asks me to do it, it doesn't change what I do.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, thank you."

Shea shakes her neck left and right in a desperate manner.

Then I shut up to the lid.

"What's up?

"─ No way."

For some reason, I have a jitsu eye.

"Aren't you willing to demand my body in return?

Why would that be?

"All men are kedamonos. My sister says she's always after women."

Shea preached forcefully.

"Not all of them. Not all of them."

"They're basically lust demons who only think about fucking women,"

"I think it's a pretty skewed masculinity."

"... good. Look, sister. I will surely take vengeance... and rest in peace with your sister's soul."

He snapped to pray and then bowed his head to me again.

"Oh, uh... sorry for all the rudeness"

"I don't care."

I'm sure she's a very thoughtful type of person, Shea.

"Thank you, Master Chrome"
