While Leica calmed her chest with a force that could not be considered human, Chariot calmly opened his mouth.

"Lephenia. Where are you going now?”

"I'm going to the capital of the Empire.”

Le Penia spoke calmly.

"I have to meet the Emperor first."

Either way, she is the Queen of the North. The commander said he knew she was here, but he still had to meet her in person.

"And to him... There's something to say."

The emperor's words have the greatest ripple effect in the world. She had to take advantage of him. She said with a bitter smile.

"The Emperor could get rid of the torsion quickly."

"The capital."

Asher muttered. He had met the emperor.

Will it be all right?

The emperor he met seemed to dislike the hero.

"Lephenia. You saw the Emperor."

"Yes. I don't know if you remember, but when I was young. I saw it for a while."

"Then that'll be all right."

This is the situation anyway. Even if the emperor hated heroes, he could not reject them.

"Asher, where are you going?"

"I'm no different."

First of all, it was first. Arriving in the empire, I had to ask Arna about his body.

In the end, the destination was the same.

"Capital... I don't mind.”

Leica, who was listening quietly, murmured.

"Can I go with you?”

"Don't say anything shameless. You're going to follow me anyway.

"That's true."

For now, to the capital. The destination has been decided.

***

"So, Le Penia. How was it then?”

"Oh, yeah."

Le Penia stuttered at the sticky Leica. Reika was asking Yonsin Lepenia about what happened in the past, wondering if she was so happy to meet the hero she respected.

What Leica is asking is one of the events that happened during the invasion of the Devil. It was when she single-handedly ran against hundreds of beasts. asked Le Penia carefully.

"By any chance. Is it still famous?”

"Great! When I tell you about Le Penia's anecdote, it all comes out first!"

Leica clenched her fist. He made a single run against hundreds of beasts, and overcame them. The majesty also struck her in a dream.

"…Really?"

However, Lephenia's face became gloomy. Asher knew the reason.

'It wasn't something to be known.’

Originally, the plan was to lure the beasts into the forest and support the forest with Le Penia at the forefront. But there was a separate reason why Le Penia fought alone.

She wandered in the woods. She had to lure the beasts into the forest, but she got lost.

And the next day when people ran, there was Le Penia crouching on dozens of bodies of beasts.

It was embarrassing for her, not boasting.

The overall atmosphere was bright. Perhaps because of Leica, Le Penia and Cherriet were less dark than when their expressions came.

However, the bright atmosphere did not mean the situation was good.

Crazy Arcade it go!

Crazy Arcade!

Asher struck down the sword at two wild beasts. The slag is cut in half, and the unknown beast is torn to shreds and disappears.

"That's the fourth time.”

"There are a lot."

This place was being attacked by the devil. It is no exaggeration to say that most of the drivers are on such a path.

While Asher wiped the blood from the sword, Leica stared blankly at him.

"Asher… you've become very strong.”

I knew it was strong before, but it was beyond imagination. If it were her now, she'd lose a hundred would be a hundred. Asher said calmly.

"Time has passed."

It wasn't a problem to be one or two games. Leica smiled bitterly.

"I'm the same."

"You'd rather be there. You don't have to be stronger than that.”

"Why?"

"More than that is another place."

Where you become something, not a human being. Laika asked with a questionable face.

"Well, what are you?"

"Well."

He was a human being. The devil and the Ensir authenticated him.

But the power he had was the power of a hero. The irony was still unknown.

"Oh, I see the territory."

A huge territory lay spread out. I've been here before.

"The Land of the Viper."

There was a great hero, and now it was abandoned. Lephenia bit her lips.

"…I told you there was a sunrise over there."

"Yes."

"Let's go in."

"As you please."

Entering, Le Penia winked at Chariot. Chariot nodded slightly and pushed Leica's back.

Is there any place you want to go?”

"Oh, I want to go to the dragonfly's bedroom. I wanted to come here, but I couldn't because the law said I couldn't come, but I can't believe I'm here."

Leica followed Cheryret with a sweet face. They left, and Le Penia and Asher moved.

"It's the land of the mercenary, and there's no one there. That's funny."

Lephenia murmured with a bitter smile. She knew what was going on because she heard about Asher here.

"Didn't you say that the Haetling was underground?

"In the basement beyond the stuffed room."

"Can you take me there?”

Asher nodded.

***

The assassin abandoned his territory and disappeared leaving a harlinging in the basement. He was not seen even now when Ma invaded the world.

"Brave, what was the last time you saw him?"

"What should I say… Your self-deprecation was a little too much."

Leica touched the secret passage of Park Je-sil and said,

"It's been a long time since we met, but the day stood."

"It's been the same in the past."

Considering his bad personality, the murderer was chosen as one of the heroes. Le Penia shut up for a while as if she had nothing to say.

"…the direction of the day was a little different. Previously, if it was a day for someone else, then it was for yourself. He seemed to despise himself.”

"That's a word that doesn't go well with the mercenary.”

"Right?"

I could see the basement. Hatchling's body was not visible because it was taken by a disciple of the Daemazar.

"That's the way it is."

The flowing blood, the broken ceiling, all remained unchanged.

"The mercenary didn't come back.”

The fact that Asher didn't show up after a while after killing Hatchling meant that there was no such thing around here. Or not in this world.

Asher swept the wall with his palm.

"I wouldn't have died.”

If the devil's words are true, both the mercenaries and the brave were still alive in the world. Asher, who was sweeping the wall, stopped.

“…….”

I felt a groove. Asher put her finger into the groove and tightened it. Cracks spread on the wall and soon collapsed. I could see a small space beyond it.

"Come on."

"It's a secret room in a secret passageway."

I didn't notice it because it didn't break even in the fight between him and Hatchling. Push the crack and expand and step inside.

"Lephenia."

"Yeah."

When Lephenia raised her sword, a blue flame lit up the surrounding area. Then I saw the red letters on the wall.

I was contradicted.

I was full of lies.

For there was not a single piece of value in my life; I would not take a handful of barley.

The three sentences were thickly written on the wall. Le Penia murmured as she looked around the wall where she could even feel madness.

"Have there been...less mercenaries?"

"Maybe so.”

Asher lifted the crumpled paper on the floor, there was a picture of a woman.

There was madness in the picture, which was crooked as if it were drawn by a child.

"Lephenia, do you know this woman?"

"Look."

Le Penia took the paper, checked the picture, and shook his head.

"No, I've never seen you before.”

"…where was the dragon born, and who did he have in his family?”

An idea flashed through my mind. All the family members of the Yongsar were exterminated by the dragon and only the Yongsar survived. That's why he hated dragons.

However, it is not known who they were or where the land was. Le Penia shook her head.

"I don't know. I've always kept quiet about it.”

“…….”

Asher put the paper down. The woman's face was covered with red letters.

***

"I never thought I'd sleep here.”

Leica muttered with an emotional look. The battle between Asher and Haitling destroyed the mercenary's castle, but the dragon's bedroom was unaffected. Chariot knocked on the bed as if it were strange.

"What's good about this place? It's a shabby room with nothing."

There were only two beds and a desk, although it is said to be the Yongsar's bedroom. Without decorations, jewelry, or carpets, it was more of a farmer's room than a landowner's room. But Laika shouted in an excited tone.

"That's cool!"

"I don't know.”

Chariot kicked his tongue, but Leica just liked it. As a child, she admired and dreamed of countless heroes' anecdotes. And now she was walking around their place with them.

It was so much fun. She was still a child who wanted a hero.

"Meeting Le Penia. It was my life's goal, but I accomplished it."

"Uh. Uh-huh."

Lephenia, whose name was suddenly called, nodded reflexively in anger. Reika was more surprised by her reaction.

"Are you all right?"

"Yes, it's okay."

Lephenia laughed. He was a good boy. I could see why Asher was accepted as a disciple.

Besides, she was strong. I could tell that he taught for a short time. Leica's sense of the sword could reach her as a hero.

'…but the same goes for this kid.’

Leica also learns the sword of a hero. He was twisted. Not just her, but everyone in the world who calls him a prosecutor.

The whole responsibility lies with heroes like her. Le Penia shook her head melancholy, and Harriet, who understood her feelings, was silent.

"Lepenia, can I ask you something?"

Laika asked, breaking the ice. Lephenia, who came to her senses in anger, nodded.

"Yes, it's okay. What do you want to know?”

It's like swordsmanship or asking about the past. I can tell you the whole story. But Leica's words were completely different from what she expected.

"Do you like Asher?"

“…….”

"Aarly."

Chariot let it out unknowingly. Laika nodded knowingly to the silent Le Penia.

"As expected. Hmm. Lephenia said Asher. Something doesn't match."

I now know that Asher was a man of the past, but she was still just like an older teacher to her. It was an unbecoming combination.

"The."

Le Penia managed to open her mouth.

"Oh, no. Misunderstanding."

"Really? Of course not."

Although she was easily positive, Leica's expression was not a face that believed Le Penia's words.

Le Penia tried to refute what he said, but eventually gave up and muttered.

"It's so obvious...?”

"I knew everything but my teacher in the past."

"It's not even new to me," he said with a face. In the end, Lephenia had no choice but to hit her head hard. Laika asked Lepenia in a curious way.

"What did you like about your teacher?”

He must have been only interested in the sword in the past as he is now. It was obvious. In Leica's view, Asher may be someone's respect or worship, but she was not a person to be loved.

Le Penia spoke with a calm face.

"…I don't need a reason for people to like people."
