A confession similar to the penance of Ergonote and Argoat, brotherly princes, continues amidst a band of light that plunges diagonally through a slit window.

It was a journey of remembrance, connecting the truths of the history of the former Israeli demise.

"Having detected the demonic raid, I went for the palace with my sword in my hand and fighting with the soldiers. Because there were side chambers in my father's king and queen, and younger brothers and sisters than Algoat. But... everything was slow. When we reached the back entrance of the palace, a bunch of demons overflowed with blood returning from inside. I couldn't even get close to it anymore."

I thought of the sight and drank my breath.

"What happened to the ergonote?

"I left the spot to the soldiers and headed to the underground treasure trove. The story of the Legendary Sword passed down to the kingdom was heard, and I knew where it was sealed. I figured I'd fight with the Thunder Sword, which has the power to cut off mountains."

"I see, so?

Until now, it coincides with stories previously heard in fragments.

"But sage Grecas, then... where is Master Algort?

Metius, the fairy who was sitting on her shoulder listening to her talk, expressed her doubts in her ear. I had the same doubts, but wasn't the royal palace already in a killing state? Where did Algort escape and even be turned into a rat?

"My father, who saw through the window of the palace a horde of demons to push over, commanded me." The aim of Kisha Haru is treasure tools (...) and treasure swords (...), go to the underground treasure trove and unseal the treasure sword before anyone else ". I was worried about my mother, my brother and my sisters, but I followed my life and went underground from the way out behind the throne."

"That's enough."

In terms of an underground treasure trove, the story of Argoat and the story of Ergonote will be linked to one. But the question remains.

"Why did the king order the seal to be unsealed before anyone else? Wouldn't a man with a treasure sword be able to solve it?

"Me and Brother Melzahart were the only ones who knew the secret of the seal (...)..."

Brother Melzahart is the second prince who was showing up as a civilian. He is one of Argoat's older brothers and very smart and hits Ergonote's brother. It was described in a book describing Isravian lineage diagrams.

I tried to ask him about the secret of the seal, but Ergonote frowned and has a bewildered look on his face.

"Come on, Algort! When I ran into the basement, the seal was unsealed. I pulled out a treasure sword (...) that pierced the treasure trove wall. At that time... the sword fell out lightly... No way! Argoat......! You unsealed it!? You mean you sacrificed your seal instead of me!

Ergonote, who found out the truth, shook his hands on both Argoat's shoulders.

"Yes."

"Oh, my God..."

Ergonote looked up to heaven.

"If you don't mind telling me a little more, Mr. Algort,"

Algort leaned down on my inquiry and raised his face. And slowly opens his mouth.

"No more country, no more treasures. There's no reason to hide it, is there? Besides, I'm finally remembering. The seal of the treasure sword" The Dawn of the Thunder God (Sundaguard) (Holresort) "was a terrible curse for alien change."

"You know the curse of ratting with your own hands."

"Yes, the curse that changed the body of those who touched it and would never return was very old and powerful. An elder defending the treasure trove said it was a self-defense function of the sword."

"So the treasure sword was safely sealed for a long time"

"It will."

"But how did you, Algort, unseal such a powerful seal? No... should I think that I broke the curse that changes into a rat because I took on that curse?

"It's a boulder, Master Grecas the Wise. The elders said the curse that was laid on the sword could never be broken by those who were not prepared to 'drink up'."

"Drink up the curse!? Such a horrible thing... did you get it?

"Oh, brother, it's too shaky"

Ergonote rocking Gakugaku and his brother's shoulders.

"Got it. The curse given the role of seal has a total amount (...) and 'drinks' to the end... which means that the person responsible for unsealing it cannot be broken without taking on all of it. Halfway through contact, you can't break the curse, you become like a rat human. Then we'll start over again."

"You're convinced, sage Grecas"

"Ah."

Apparently I was making a mistake.

After all, I thought that the Wizard of Zordaxzaan, a secret society that entered the court of Israel, had maliciously planted a curse of ratification, 'ancient magic', on the treasure sword, but no.

It is a sealing ceremony that was applied to the "Dawn of Thunder Guard (Holresort)" itself.

Whoever tries to pull out the treasure sword, by the way, turns into a rat-like body.

That is a simple curse at first glance and does not seem suitable for sealing.

But, for example, have you fulfilled the ability of the bandits to "take on" the curse until the end, even if they try to acquire the treasure sword?

The moment you touch your hand, it is the mountain of Sekiyama that sees your changing fingertips and arms like animals, screaming and letting your hands go and escape. An approximate human would scream and let go of his hand and never try to touch him again.

If you're not a person ready to "drink up to the end" the curse, you can't.

By analogy, threatening with a sword from behind and trying to force it to pull through, feelings and fears arise that you want to escape, and you never get it right.

"A man who is ready (...) takes on the curse of the sword and entrusts hope to others......! Does that mean those who can trust someone and are determined to entrust the future even at the expense of themselves...!

That is why those entrusted with the treasure sword are allowed to be 'brave men'. That's the code.

I finally understand. The meaning of the treasure sword, and the meaning of being a brave man.

"I... drank up the curse. I knew I could never go back to being a human again. Still, as long as it was ravaged and killed by demons, I thought I'd put my hopes in our admirer, the strong Brother."

"Oh... my God, Algort. I... don't even know what your prayers and wishes mean about such magnificent readiness... I was just fighting with a treasure sword in my hand."

Ergonote wept on both knees on the floor, drawing his brother (Algort) 's face in the same sight and hugging him.

"Me and Brother Elzahart were powerless to wave swords like Brother Elgonote. In contrast, Brother Ergonaut was unbeatable in interactive matches with other countries, and he excelled in his ability to fight."

"Ah!? No, you're wrong there, Algort. Not undefeated. There have been several friendly matches, but I have lost to the princess of Rudens about twice. One win, two losses."

"Princess Rudens is Faria."

"Yes, don't make me say it"

Ergonote and Faria that they were childhood friends in a relationship between countries. After that, the "Rotten Edge" will continue, and the adventure of the Demon King's Crusade will begin.

"Most importantly, you had the strength and the courage not to change yourself, whether your father yelled at you or not."

"Ha... well"

"And I got my wish"

"Forgive me. Stupid and helpless."

"Enough is enough. Dear brother and wise man, your work has saved the world. That's how I got it back."

Algort smiled gently and stroked his brother's head.

"Algoat. Stay a little longer."

"Already."

And so the Interior Ministry of the King's Government, the Monoreder of the Special Assistant, apparently received some instruction with a communication magic tool, and he thanked Ergonote and Argoat respectfully.

"I say. Her Royal Highness Princess Snoovel has made your decision."

…… What's gonna happen to Algort?

"Dear brother..."

Ergonote holding his younger brother in his arms.

"Protect it where it should be. Never divulge secrets."

Monoreder tells him pale and shakes his neck to the side.

"The right place? What the hell is that..."

Ergonote bewildered and sees the faces of scari and monoredders. And he looked at me like he was begging for help.

"An internment facility or a dungeon... or a remote island"

"Don't joke about it, Grecas. Algort's only 12 years old! You can't possibly stand such a terrible place!?

I put my finger on my chin with a difficult face. Ergonote is in a blue panic.

"Um, His Royal Highness Prince Ergonaut's son-in-law, the... the right place. I mean, in the mansion of the wise Grecas, let's just say?

Scarley shrugged her shoulders and added: I'm laughing when the mono-reader dulls.

"Ha ha!?

"Brother!

"I thought..."

I sighed deeply.
