"-So, what do you want to hear?

When I invited Shania to my room, she came with you, Berga, after a while, and said so.

Hera said away, advice as if to incite anxiety.

Before you touch that...

"You know, rim."

"What?

"I've been holding Luke's reins since I left Imperial City, so my throat's a little dry. I'm sorry, can you make me some tea?

"Yeah, fine. I have the scented tea leaves I bought in Teito, so I'll have everyone's share. But..."

"Of course, I'll ask Shania a lot when Rim gets back."

Like me, Rim, the owner of a major crime skill, would like to hear it.

"Okay. I'll be right back, just wait."

She snorted and left the room early enough.

... Well.

We just have to make sure this is all before Rim gets back.

"Oh? You kind of look like you want to ask me something right now, don't you? I don't think flying is a good idea."

"... well, I'm a little worried."

Seeing how I look slightly serious, Shania seems to have guessed something.

"Oh... I see, is that what you mean? I think I know why you look a little tense."

I heard that the Dragon Orb was built a long time ago to seal a major crime skill.

Big Crimes skills give powerful powers to their owners, but they're not necessarily used to do the right thing.

If you look at someone like Hera, you don't even know the idea that you should seal it.

However, the story of the Red Dragon Emperor Blaze sealing his major crime skills in the past was frightening.

Essentially, they say the major crime skill doesn't leave the body unless the holder dies, so when sealing it, they either waited for the other person to die with their lifespan, or, well... they sometimes took pretty abusive measures.

As for Shania personally, he doesn't seem to think that if his grand criminal skills resided in the fittest, he would be forced to seal it that far... but that doesn't mean the totality in the dragonman.

The elders in the inside have pushed that it should be sealed, and yet the conclusion should have been withheld until the repair was complete, as the key dragon orb remains broken, which is debatable - well this should have been the case.

Based on these stories, I don't think my worries are off-target either.

"I mean... here's what you think ~. Maybe the dragon orb has been successfully fixed and the general thrust inside has come to an unsatisfactory conclusion - maybe we're looking at an opportunity to re-seal our grand crime skills,"

Shania smiles with a dust.

Standing next to her, Berga watches the situation without moving like a statue.

After arguing with the elders, Shania bent her opinion...

"That's not a zero chance."

If the Dragon Orb has been repaired by Heavenly Green Stone, it can be moved any time now.

Face this ruin and it will save me and Rim... two major crime skill holders the trouble of looking for it.

If I were in that position, I would still be the best visitor here.

"Pfft. I don't hate that about you. So you're telling me you just set the rim up to leave the room? You feel like you're the only one facing danger? It's a pretty hateful thing. This ~"

Honestly, Shania's power is unknown.

Needless to say, it is unlimited and dangerous if forceful means are taken.

"... there's that, too, because Rim likes Shania. If I saw you suspect me like this, I wouldn't feel good. If this is a misunderstanding concern, I'll apologize to you later."

"Nah, I see. I wonder if I need to apologize. I can't help but find out."

What... that, hey, is that really how it is?

Actually, I'm still ready for my heart too...

"Well done. You've seen what we came for. I'll give you a compliment. Yes, what a true lass boss I have become. Now, let's do it. Let's not purify our unclean souls by the scorching fire of the great dragon - heh heh heh heh!

It was Berga listening in silence who waved a modest hand knife down Shania's head as she spoke in Norinoli.

"Master Shania. That's about it for fun. The matter will still be pending."

"Mm-hmm. I was just having a blast."

No... Around the time I started saying true lass bosses and stuff, I felt strange relief.

"- Please wait. I've made some delicious tea. It smells so good like flowers...... is that it? Guys, what's wrong?

Rim just came back to where Shania was rubbing her head as she swelled her cheeks.

"Wow. ♪ What's this? It smells so good!

I'm wondering if Shania has gotten in a better mood for the glorious scent of tea or if she has forgotten her conversation earlier.

Hmm... apparently, it was my struggle to get over it.

- Well, that's what Rim came for, and suppose we get back to business?

I briefly explained how I ran into Hera, the owner of a major crime skill in Imperial City.

"Uh-huh. You better worry about yourself first...... hey"

The price for gaining mighty power - that woman, she said that.

"The Seven Great Sins - the power that can be described as its atrocities - will even swallow hosts at times. Unleashing the shackled storm beast into the field causes the world's reason to distort. Therefore I hope to seal the great sin. of his own sins, in lieu of at least atonement..."

"Uh, that 's--"

"It's a passage from a long time ago in the Dragon Man. I guess the only person who can truly understand this word is the one who has lived with the great sin skill, but I'm sure it's because of this that there are so many sealists in the elders living inside"

Somehow, the phrase 'even swallows a host' has something a little scary.

"Maybe you have an idea? You see, when I fought that demon tribe called Dino, I heard something like a voice."

Voice... Speaking of which, I think I've tasted the odd feeling of being spoken to by someone.

But I was selfless at that time, and I just don't remember it very well because even the Madness Warriorization (Berserk), whose "Madness" skills have been transformed, has left me all sorts of unscrupulous.

"Oh well... I knew it. Actually, I've heard the same voice before. When it gets a little too hot, break everything - kill them all - or something that sounds gloomy in your head, so keep up! I shut him up, hehe."

No, no, no, no, no, no, because you can't try to delude me in a cute way!

That's a pretty scary thing to do!

"Ah... ha. Then... it's like you're willing to commit a felony."

... No, wait.

Dino, the original owner of the "bulimia" currently hosted by Rim, was behaving as if his personality had changed during the battle.

"Uh-huh. Maybe I'm not wrong. To the demon tribe that attacked me, to the hera or whatever, the words and deeds were quite unstable, maybe I was swallowed by the great sin skills that I lived in."

Dino transformed himself from a rough impression to a man with a chilling atmosphere.

If that is a major crime skill itself called "bulimia"......

It would mean that there is a similar presence lurking in me.

What the hell would happen if you were so heartbroken...?

"Shania, the... are you okay?

"In my case, it feels like you're in good control by forcing me to shut up."

To her words like that, Berga next door makes her cough lightly.

"Master Shania wondered if it would be better if we could learn a little more..."

"Buh-buh."

... I knew this guy was going to have a lot of trouble with anything.

Anyway, I somehow figured out why Shania kept her mouth shut about this.

If, as Hera said, there was something to worry about for the holders of the Major Crimes Skill, I was wondering why Shania didn't tell me about it.

If, like her, you have a strong spiritual ability to penetrate your will, maybe you won't be swallowed up.

... but not everyone does.

A man with a weak heart will surely be swallowed.

If that's the time to refuse to accept...

If you can, it's like being notified that you're going to be seriously ill in the future.

The chances of healing are unknown, and you can't get away with it.

That's a bit...... no, pretty scary.

I wish I hadn't known... I might have thought.

"I didn't keep quiet about anything. I would have answered if they'd asked, and I just thought it wouldn't be a recommendation to teach. In fact, this is how we respond to questions."

What's going on...... sounds pretty shocking though I may feel sorry for you.

Around, I was about to open my body to the feeling that the world was shaking, but the warm feeling of wrapping my hands gave me the power to counter it.

"... rim?

If you noticed, she was graciously holding my hand.

"It's okay. Sage is strong."

"Damn......"

I'm not the only one. Even Rim must have had a pretty good time talking about it.

Even she has a big sin called "bulimia".

That's why...

"If it's still dangerous, I'll beat you up and put you back in your sanity."

She said that to me with an uncontrolled smile, gripping her fist.

Oh...... after all, I still seemed to get it wrong.

Rim's power was meant to be seen and known when crusading vicious demons, but still somewhere in her mind she still thought she was something to protect.

Just as I tried to keep her away in case I talked to Shania earlier.

But no.

That was very thought-provoking.

The warmth of wrapping my hands flutter makes me intuitively understand that.

The rims are not just protected anymore, they are important opponents who can support each other together.

Ah... yabe. I'm not sure what it is, but I think I'm going to cry.

If you cry here, you look the worst, me.

If you don't manage to stand it, GOOOOOOOOO!!

"Instead... if I seem to be in danger, I'd like Sage to help me"

"... Oh, oh! Fine. I'll take care of it. But... add or subtract a little when you hit me, okay? If Rim beat me to death right now, I don't think I'll be safe to go back to sanity..."

To such a worried voice, Rim once again poses as a gripping fist.

Oh, that means, you know, I get it, right?

Right?

"Yeah ~!! What's that, nice ~..."

It was Shania who fluttered her legs like a wasting child who raised her voice to smash the atmosphere.

"Hey, what is it? Suddenly..."

"So there was no one at my time to help me. Yet you two create an atmosphere that supports each other. Come on. What? If this happens, I'll take a beating at you when you lose your mind!

"I'm sorry to disturb you, yes"

Damn it. You have Berga, you have it.

"Cancer ~ ~ ~"

From frustration, Shania makes your feet even more bumpy.

- By the way, I need to ask you one more thing.

"But... Huh? What?"

What is its content- how to help a person imprisoned by their ability to commit a major crime skill.

That is, a way to help Alisha.

It is extremely likely that Hera is involved in the incident in which she disappeared.

Upon my enquiry, Shania sighed lightly.

"... you. When you ask people about things, they have to show you some of their cards, so you can't answer them. I haven't been taught about your abilities yet, have I?

Speaking of which, I did.

So far, Rim is the only person who knows about the great sin's ability to steal skills from others - Bandit's Divine Technique (Liot Glasper).

Me and Shania don't know the details about each other's abilities.

At this point, even if she knows...

"Whoa, stop! Although I said... Oh, my God. I have a theory about your abilities, so you don't have to tell me again."

What... you say?

"He told me about you when you fought Berga. I can almost imagine what you're capable of."

When he fought Berga in the arena of Horn, the king's capital of Richelle, he managed to pick up the win by taking away from him the rare skill of "The Outer Shell of the Ancient Dragon".

If Shania does, it might be easy to guess my abilities from there.

"But, listen, I don't think it's gonna hurt."

I was trying to spontaneously talk, so I don't feel like I have to stop you on purpose.

"Shit, if you explain your abilities, I feel like I need to talk to you about my abilities, too."

She stood up from her chair as she alternately waved her fingers like a metronome.

"Besides. All I can do is give you a little advice. The power of the major crime skills is to defeat each other... you said that before, didn't you?

Of course, I remember.

"That's - I can't say it well, but I think it's like a limiter for the seven great sins not to crush each other"

Limiter......?

What is that...

"I guess that's about it if it's possible. But I wouldn't recommend it. So... I won't tell you any more"

"Oh, man. Just hang on..."

That's all I have to say, Shania left the room softly, and Berga followed it and left the room behind.

I wanted to hear more from her, but the last word was something that felt pretty weighty.

It doesn't have the slightest vibe that you can chase me for more information.

- That's when the sound of knocking on the conn and the door of the room sounded.

"Hey, are we done talking and doing this yet?

It was the brown shoulder bread girl - Ray - who came to visit.

"Ah, oh. Sort of."

"Yes, the eagle is leaving for Erindal tomorrow. I thought I'd call you again."

... Speaking of which, Ren hasn't come home yet.

I don't know, I guess I'm worried as a sister.

The Ren one. I know some stories accumulate with my brother, but isn't it such a long stay?

My love sword noir stays lent to him too... here.

"That's right, Ray. Why don't I give you a lift to Erindal if you like?

"Huh? That helps, but how much are you tired of just coming back from the Empire City? It's disgusting to be so sweet."

Well......

- An encounter with a new Holder of Major Crimes Skills, called Hera.

- The major crime skills you possess, the price of that mighty power.

In fact, I got a little tired of thinking too much about it.

At times like this, I can only talk stupid with Ren's one and change my mood.

"Hmm. Don't you really just want my brother to give me back the sword I lent him as soon as possible?

"Bullshit, you can't! That's about half of it!

"............ what?

"Ah..."

- - Conclusion.

Ray had me shoulder panned again.
