The signs of the living were solidifying, so René came to see what was going on in the chapel.

I don't know if there are any loopholes. I also thought it was possible that Zislan was secretly in the middle of something.

For some reason there was a big hole in the entrance, even though I don't remember breaking it in the battle with Zislan.

Going in from there, it's exactly in the middle of the survivors evacuating through the loopholes.

The undead troops, whose last contact was interrupted with the suspicious communication that the 'Second Knight Commander came down', were scattered on the floor as wreckage.

Survivors gather in the deepest part of the chapel, which has grown a step tall.

To the knights in armor, to the servant-like men of the castle, to the knight Bertil, who takes the sword with the arms of a demonic machine (artifact), and.

Catherine, a girl dressed in red with ribbons all over her like I saw one day. Keeping her hands together as she prayed, she stared at René. For Rene, he wasn't really the person I wanted to see.

Rene decided to do something quickly.

"Where's Zislan? If you answer honestly, I can miss you, okay?

It was a treat.

I've already killed too much tonight. Rene was tired of killing. I need a break.

Apart from the murders that are operationally necessary, I am not in the mood for a wasted massacre in this situation decided by a large number (because I want to).

But when it is understood, it involves the prestige of "Princess Rose of Grievance". That's where I said I'd take the deal.

People are afraid just because Rene makes a single sound. Even those who were about to enter the loophole were more limp and unable to move than instinctively escape in.

I wanted to taste their fears... but I'd rather not use the power of 'emotional perception' here and now. If Zislan gets caught, it's dangerous.

"... I'm not here"

Among the people who can't even open their mouths, the placid Bertil replied.

It's been since the Wang capital to face each other, but for Rene, it's like a half-inteller.

Is it flat because I'm sure it won't kill me?... No, this man seems to be plain on the surface, though I don't know what the dangerous situation might be.

"Really? What about being disguised and confused? Didn't anyone come running in?

"Only the knights of Count Keeley have come."

I see, indeed, the knights, who until earlier had prevented the invasion of Blood Football on the walls of the castle, are serving around Catherine.

The knights looking exhausted, but still pulling out their swords to protect Catherine.

"The knights there. Step forward. I'll check to see if there's a mix of disguised zislanes."

Where did Zislan go when he disappeared?

For example, if you catch a knight and kill him, you will eat him. If you take his armor helmet and wear it, the knights will find you and sneak away.

There are many magic and magic items to change your appearance, and maybe you can have the power to turn into the person you ate.

The knights face to face. I guess you're wondering how it's right to respond.

You know you can't win. Because the Counts failed miserably before they could see.

But it is also natural to wonder whether it is right to respond to requests.

"Wait!

In the meantime, Catherine raised her voice.

I did not speak to the knights, I said to René.

-... what are you willing to do?

Rene was just a little scared.

Suddenly, René had remembered the game he had played in his previous life.

I had memories of not daring to complete a sub-event that would have a tragic end, and of stopping the event progression and leaving it at a stage before the characters were unhappy.

That's what I wanted my relationship with Catherine to be.

"Lady!?

"Stand back, please!

Catherine advances as the knights try to hold Catherine back and push it away.

Catherine was shaking. He came to Rene as he tried to hold his trembling self.

"Rene. I was wondering if I could get back to you sometime.

… would you be my (my) friend?

Strange things, Catherine said.

Look straight at Rene with his ashes and red eyes.

"Talk about what?

"Don't be silly! I already know!?

I didn't say that word to Illis, I said it to The Child Who's Gonna Have A Nightly Chat And Get Just A Little Friendly! I only found out later that it was really you, not Illis!

Catherine was still aware. I met Iris that day, and he said it was Rene.

Even so, René didn't know why, knowing that, he could say, 'Let's be friends', etc.

"Whenever I... you've said something very serious.

Rene, why don't you tell me about you, too? If you keep holding on to something you feel unhappy about... it must be hard. "

Care and kindness as friends seep into Catherine's voice, not heavy enough to call it 'love'.

The girl in front of her (Rene) has already killed a lot of people and plans to continue to kill them, and it is as if she drove them to the other side of oblivion to destroy Ciel-Teira now.

It was unexpected. I still can't believe I'm saying this if I'm going to turn hostile.

"How could...! How come you're stepping into such brain weather!?

Haven't you heard yet!? I killed your family!?

Rene was pretty serious and frustrated.

Stick your own business to Catherine so she can tap back the hand she's reached out to.

Someone leaning aside...... something that should be taken away and never returned.

In short, it's a matter of 'loneliness'. In the sense of burying it, it may be the same whether it's my mother or my friend.

That was the least touchable wound for Rene.

René decided to turn his back on his salvation and follow the path of vengeance.

That is why it is decided that what hurts is painful and what is hard is painful.

I will not forgive you if you think you have sparked and sympathized with the salvation of things, like showing the mirage oasis to those who wander through the desert. That's an empty, nasty temptation that rocks Rene as a vengeful.

But Catherine wasn't even surprised by Rene's words.

"I've already heard..."

"What!?

Rene doubted his ears this time.

"I've never felt so hard about anyone... it looks like there's blood... I want to grab you, pull you, throw you in the flames..."

The gift of education and bullying as a little lady? The tone was quiet.

But even with trembling, flaming rage.

Too much reliance was placed on the power of 'emotional perception', and Rene was reluctant to read people's emotions without 'emotional perception'.

Once I realized it, it was obvious.

Disturbed breathing. Eaten teeth. A tapping gaze.

Catherine was shaking too much of her anger, not fear.

"But if I fight you hard... I'm weak, I'll just die. You don't have the power to wield a sword, you don't have the gift of magic, so you're just gonna die.

I will only be... one of the many people killed by you.

Then... you shouldn't... "

Katherine was grabbing her left arm with her right hand. Strong, strong.

Cared and polished nails pierce the soft skin.

Red blood runs over white skin, even dripping from your fingertips, strong and strong.

"So I...! I believe in myself for wanting to save you, not make it hard!

So..................... "

At that time, Catherine may have tried to offer her hand to ask for a handshake.

In the end, Catherine couldn't get her hands on it.

I don't know if you didn't want to point your bloody hand at Rene, or if your hand didn't move with the best of your ability to stifle anger and hatred, though.

"Please, let me ask you something about you?

... be your friend, Rene. To me... that's all I can do... "

Making the best smile, that's what Catherine said.

The word contained everything, René thought.

The will to stop Rene, to save Rene, to defeat Rene, to punish Rene, and to forgive Rene. It may be condolences to my father, it may be a sense of duty as a lord's warrant, or it may be the result of judging irrational good and evil as just one person.

The only word Catherine, young and powerless, could say in an attempt to have more wishes than she could hold in her little hand is' Be your friend '.

Rene was struck like the cannon had hit him directly.

I couldn't move.

Catherine was hateful but pitiful and angrily trying to be merciful.

Rene as "Princess Rose of Grief" had no choice but to admit Rene as just a girl.

That's what Rene's heart would want.

It was in the form of 'salvation' that Rene had left behind in exchange for a vow of vengeance.

But.

Rene was more afraid than happy or sad.

Before the mighty power, as if to threaten.

"Princess Rose of Grief" is just a little girl.

- Why not? As he says, Catherine has no sword wielding power or magical talent. Yet...

I thought of Rene, but I stripped Rene of my fangs, and a certain salvation appeared.

To Catherine, overlap.

- Here and now...! I feel like I absolutely have to kill you......!

What can Catherine do without the power to fight and even her father mourned?

I don't know. I don't know, but this is a definite hunch.

That spirituality makes her gain something.

She becomes a Rene threat. It becomes a big wall and stands.

Then we have to pick it up.

I have to pick it up no matter how sparingly.

Before the presence of her (Catherine) comes to fruition......!!

At that moment, it was.

It was a satanic coincidence.

An alarm rang in Rene's head. Worst cross spear in. Never, never, can there be a cross spear that ignores anything.

"What is this... no way!

It was instant.

René abandoned the occasion.

I don't care about Catherine or Zislan.

Compared to the reported incident...... only minor.

Rene abandoned her flesh.

The stripped flesh falls as the body of a decapitated girl/maili.

Rene, who became a soul-only figure, followed Taylakaine with a full speed flight.

"Rene!?

Leave Katherine's voice in a bewildered state.
