Riot Grasper

- I never meant to confess my intentions, but the reactions around me were different than I imagined.

I didn't mean to surprise you originally, but if you look at the four faces, it doesn't contain any emotion that you've heard the facts of the shock.

In other words, it seems like the atmosphere of 'right ~' is going to convey.

"Uh... that?

"No, yeah, around the time I heard from Brother Rick about the Seven Big Sins, I thought maybe Se did, too."

"I don't know, I feel relieved for a reason for your out-of-consciousness strength and vice versa?

Ren and Ray laughed bitterly when they said that.

"Believe me, will you?

"" Rather, it's more incredible if you deny otherwise "

... Yeah, what, the twins said that while hammering.

It's like a happy, sad, kind of complicated mood.

Anyway, let's just say it's good that Ray and Ren believed me.

- I'm concerned about Mr. Rik and Mr. Rahal.

I don't think you knew me that far, though I know Rick a little about him who was the head of the Night Ringing Squad...

"You...... no, can I call you Sage? The first time I saw him was when he was fighting Nue, a thunderbeast, in the woods that only spread to the south of Amorphas. Even though I fought with my brave sister with a big spear, it was the first time I met her that I won against those two monsters that had a strong impact"

A woman equipped with a big spear... you mean Mr. Cecil.

"The other day, don't bog down the demons that have raided your home and end up blowing it up without a trace. I don't know how many adventurers work out their bodies, but I can't imagine a human boy doing that."

... right ~.

"It's easier to believe than to doubt Sage's words earlier."

Nah I see.

Mr. Rick has known about his major crime skills for a long time, and maybe he thought...

But... what about Mr. Rahal?

If he had changed his appearance to Mr. Rik and behaved as Lord of Erindal, it would have been Mr. Lahar who had seen him before when he visited.

But you shouldn't have acted so suspiciously in that sight.

When I turned my doubtful eyes, Mr. Rahal did so a little awkwardly and then slowly opened his mouth.

"I first met you, Sage... not here in Erindal"

"Uh... did we meet somewhere?

"Oh, the first time we met... was in Horn, the king's capital of Richelle."

"Wang Du Horn......?

Haven't we met?

No, wait.

If you have the ability to change your appearance, it doesn't necessarily mean it was who you are here.

or... impressive person, who was showing a suspicious bare gesture -...

Hmm?

Is that it?... Could it be...

Yep, yep, yep, yep!

There is indeed only one man who was driving him to the corner of his memory.

The man who proposed to a woman named Stella, the billboard daughter of the Inn who was looking after me in Wang Du, and caused me to fight Berga, not sure - Mr. Garib.

By the time the doozy settled in the arena, he had disappeared, and I hadn't even seen him since...

"What are you doing... Mr. Rahal"

In a serious past story earlier, that feeling, which Mr. Lahar cherished Mr. Alisha, was painfully conveyed.

At the end of the day, I made a guilt-induced case of stabbing Mr. Rick, who was my best friend, but I somehow intend to understand that I've been working so hard ever since.

Those things were also a result of pushing my back, which I was wondering if I could help with this one.

Even though......

I missed it.

Let me go home.

"Hey, give me a minute. I did that for a couple of reasons."

Let me ask you something.

This is the battle where Berga ate my arm and cut me a thousand times.

"I think we've talked about how the lords of every region have suffered from the domination of the central imperial capital in the last few years."

"Well... but if everyone complained about their opinions, they would improve a little bit, so they were contacting the leading local people."

From now on, besides the desire to help people suffering from oppression, it is also possible that they feared that the people's anger would concentrate on the emperor Mihasa.

Even if the minister Gilbaran is in power and lays down a bad government, the spearhead of anger against it is because he will eventually turn to the ruler, the emperor Mihasa - the daughter of Mr. Alisha.

As for Mr. Rahal, you'd want to avoid that.

However, Sir Felt, a leading aristocrat in the western part of the empire, was a selfish figure, making it difficult to handle and trying to ask the Kingdom of Richelle, which faces the border, to cooperate.

"Ah... could you have come to Horn, the king's capital, to deliver a letter to the king?

"There's that too... I visited the Kingdom of Richelle then because Ray and Ren there were caught failing in their mission"

... Hmm.

I see.

I couldn't help but worry because I was watching the two of them from the shadows, suddenly they were captured for failing a mission, sentences taken to the King's Capital to spit information, and even fallen into combat slavery.

Who said they had these two tied up?

... It's me.

'Cause that's when I kidnapped Miss Marita, the daughter of the lord of the trading city of Merbail, on a Secret Service mission or something.

I don't think I have a choice.

Well, there's as much of each other, why did you let me fight Berga?

"I turned into a merchant to cross the border, and there I met that dragon man named Berga. He said he was looking for a detached companion."

You mean Shania, who ran away from the amulet. I understand.

"I was looking into the secrets of Hera's power, just like Rick. Many dragon men are more knowledgeable because of their longevity than we are. I tried to get a lot out of him... but unfortunately he didn't say anything. Well, we didn't really get a clue who he was looking for, so it's each other."

Originally, Berga doesn't seem like the type to talk too much extra.

"They fought in the arena because they wanted to see the gap and rescue Ray and Ren. Incandescent battles between strong men are attractive enough to loosen their guard hands. The miscalculation was that Berga tried to kill Ray, even though the killing was supposed to be forbidden. Honestly...... my liver was cold then"

Berga and Ray provoked each other all the way through the game, and at the end of the day Ray was about to be killed.

When I glanced at her properly, I was distracted by the great momentum.

Apparently, it's something I don't really want to remember for Ray.

"But more surprisingly, Sage, you just broke in."

Yes...... I did.

An intrusion match meant that the arena audience boiled a lot, and because of that, they developed into a death fight until they ate their arms and were chopped a thousand times.

If I waited for the order very long, it might have been a little more peaceful game.

"Why were you trying to help Ray over there? Wasn't it you who captured her?

"Well, I don't know... my body moved on its own, I had a chance to talk a little bit in the barn before the game, so I couldn't shut up and watch..."

After I saved him, Ray looked terribly disgusted.

"Really...? I see."

Trying to figure something out, Mr. Rahal nodded as he was convinced.

Hmm?

... Is that it?

"Um, did I tell Mr. Rahal that I captured Ray and Len?

It's not surprising that the fact that the kidnapped Marita was successfully rescued has conveyed the failure of the Rays' mission, but the fact that I captured the killers should not have been made public.

I remember King Hardin taking care of that rescue play so that there were no strange rumors that Alba, the Demon, would help me, and so on.

"Because you're in the Secret Service, you're good at intelligence. To tell you the truth, I had you fight Berga because I wanted to know how powerful you were, Sage."

Oh...... so you went out of your way to fight.

No matter how many Rays were imprisoned as martial arts slaves, there would have been many other ways to get them out of the barracks.

"Secret Service units are only heavily trained, and their combat capabilities shouldn't even be pulled by senior soldiers guarding the Royal Castle. It's not the kind of craftsmanship a human boy can do to destroy a platoon."

No, no, that's right, I didn't just destroy you by myself.

"Maybe he has some special powers, like Hera... I thought so"

That being said, Mr. Rahal bowed his head to me with words of apology.

"I'm sorry for imitating the battle."

Well, fighting in the arena was basically forbidden to commit murder, and I guess it wasn't that offensive.

Yeah, that's fine.

As a matter of fact, that's not where I'm most concerned.

"Um, can I ask you something?

"Oh. Ask me anything."

"... why were you courting Stella in such a light-hearted manner again?

You don't have to imitate anything like that, as long as you're close enough to have contact with me...

To such a simple question, Mr. Rahal stopped moving like he was frozen for a moment and leaned down at first sight.

"... it's an excuse, but I used to be Rick's figure and do lord's work. I was going to play a guy named Rick well to avoid being uncomfortable with the people around me... but sometimes that doesn't cut it out. I... do that."

Mr. Rahal's voice has obviously toned down because of the amount of emotional damage he caused.

"Hey, wait a minute, Cora! I don't know what you're talking about right now, but don't take the blame for what you did to me!

Hmmm...... Mr. Rahal seems serious about his vegetarian personality, so maybe he was going from an overworked recoil to an odd high tension.

I screwed up. Now I'm reflecting - more like black history that I want to erase from every memory than...

Mirei, Rim's mother, also said that she had been spoken to by the captain when she was deputy captain of the Night Ringing...

Because of this, Mr. Arnold and Mr. Dore had been amazing in their booze seats.

Something else, according to the exposed information from Mr. Milley, seemed to be hot about the captain who couldn't leave the troubled alone, like that, like this, like that, sometimes even...

"So don't point the spear this way! There's my sister and my brother right there, too, right? There will be majesty as a brother."

That's just... I don't think so.

"And anyway."

Mr. Rahal coughed small enough to re-compartmentalize.

"Seeing the battle between you and Berga, Sage, I was half sure. The boy in front of you is also a very powerful man."

In the fight against Berga, he managed to open his way by taking away the vicious rare skill he possessed: The Outer Shell of the Ancient Dragon (Dragon's Crust).

Although there was some resistance to exercising a major crime skill in front of a large audience, it would undoubtedly have killed him if he hadn't.

He turns into a big dragon, launches an attack at a tremendous rate, spits flames and burns down his enemies.

There's no way a normal person can beat someone like that.

Even the devils, who are said to be tough, will have no teeth in the companions.

But, Sage, you won.

My arm, I've been chopped a thousand times!

But well... he apologized properly, and I think I'm going to flush that down the water.

Mr Lahal - Mr Garib disappeared at the time, but I can somehow imagine why.

Because I got a special permission from the king to release Ray and Ren, and I took you both on a trip to the Suaven Empire.

One line of destination, including mine, is Erindal.

Even if you leave it alone, it'll come soon.

If there was a special force that could be used against Hera, he might have managed to use it.

"... I don't deny it. I just wanted to know more about who you are, Sage, so I decided to see how things went for a while."

From Mr. Lahar, who watched up close how Hera's personality was going to break, that's a natural choice.

If the killer attacked you and asked you for help for your life, if you were a similar killer, you honestly can't laugh.

"But I'm a little relieved to hear the answer earlier."

Is that... when you tried to help Ray in the arena?

I'm embarrassed that my body has moved on its own or that I have too exemplary answers as a reason to help people, but I actually do, so I can't help it.

"I seem to have gotten used to doubting people all the time. Sorry."

That being said, Mr. Rahal once again bowed his head.

"Now...... I want to try to believe you, Sage. Maybe you can help Alisha. Does that mean you can help me?

- Finally, it feels like I'm back to business.

"Yes, if you use my abilities, you may be able to help"

I can't say for sure, but compared to zero chance of being helped, it's the difference between heaven and earth.

"That's... by the way... may I ask what kind of ability it is?

Mr. Rahal may well ask, but I cannot answer that question immediately.

If you also explain taking your skills away from the target, and the terms of it, it's troublesome in case it leaks to Hera.

Not that I don't trust Mr. Rahal, but based on his past manipulation, I remain somewhat anxious.

... You told me you believed me.

"No, if you don't think I should tell you, that's fine"

It may be a slightly unscrupulous favor to not release details of your abilities and still rely on yourself.

"What, you don't have to worry about it. Either way, Ray or Ren could have assassinated Hera if it stayed that way. I have a problem with these guys dying in return, and even if I could assassinate Hera at the end of the day, Alisha would lose her life with me this time... it's a blockade."

I mean, you have to rely on me.

That's what Mr. Rick said.

"Hey, don't call people pigsty idiots"

"That's right, brother Rick. Until now, I was rubbing it on the premise that there was no way to help."

Suddenly, Ray and Ren argued.

They both seem to think they've never been over it if they can help.

"So, what exactly am I supposed to do?

Briefly, there are two things to do.

I challenge Hera to battle.

Until a settlement is reached, I shall rule out the possibility that Mr. Alisha, who is imprisoned in the sealed balls, will be harmed.

That's all.

If you can, keep the sealed balls important - like a safe.

If Hera has the only key to it, you can take it away from her without killing her.

- Shania said that the power between the major crime skills is like a limiter to not crush each other.

For example...... what happens if I cancel that limiter.

I'm sure that would have a less favorable impact on the host.

But if we need to face it sooner or later, I don't think the moment is bad.

"Let's do it..."
