The Failure Alchemist of the Royal Capital ~My Job Is a Failure So, I’ll Manage My Store Carefreely.~

Adolf remained in the Principality of Heimstadt.

Now, at night, the beast is burning, hiding in the shade of the tree.

... I wonder if he'll survive.

Remember Lillian who threw herself out cold and left her behind.

Compared to her sins, she will surely still have room for salvation.

Even if the kingdom finds you, you won't be acquitted as much as yourself.

That's how he set her free.

... have I changed?Or are you lost or whimsical?

Well, he was a candidate for the Virgin Mary, and he was often asked about it while we were taking him around.

"God will forgive you if you repent."

Adolf eats the fish baked in front of the fire, sits still, and hits the fire.

From time to time, flickering fires burst into flames, pudding and twigs turning into firewood.

That's all you can hear, the beast howling from time to time.

"Is Lillian eaten properly?"

Speaking of which, when it comes to meals during the escape, he could use fire magic, and I thought I had two for myself.

She can't use fire magic.

Hunting beasts is deadly if they can't be burned by fire.

I wondered if I could eat and survive.

"... do you care about her?

All of a sudden, I heard a woman next to me.

Black clothes, and a mask on his face, can't read his expression.

Such a suspicious person sat next to him without any sign.

It's a "bird" in the infamous dark.

"... well, he can't even light a fire, and she threw herself out.... I wonder if it's okay. "

Although I thought Adolf was a suspicious woman, I somehow felt the difference in strength on my skin.

And I know my relationship with Lillian.

So I decided to tailor it to my opponent for now.

She then revealed her concern about Lillian's safety, which remained as if she were a weight in her heart.

"... you've changed.He lived with his children's arrogance and indiscretion and his power to crush others. "

Adolf is about to choke on the woman's words.

Because it was irresistible, and it remained the same as it was when it was stupidly spoiled in the past.

"You know how your reckless behavior ends.... it's too late now. "

Adolf laughed, mocking himself.

I wonder what this woman is.

Did the assassin finally catch you knowing so much?

Once again silence reigns between the two of you after laughing at your stupid life.

"I'll give you a choice.... about redemption for sin. "

"... redemption?

No matter what you suddenly say, Adolf stands up.

"Yes, it's an old word that means making amends for sins and mistakes.One is redemption for sin with death.It's a death sentence. "

Of course, Adolf laughed downwards.I don't know how many times I've done that since that day.

"The other thing is to work your whole life as a human being in the dark under His Majesty's command.... just like us.In your case, you must wear magic objects that will last a lifetime so that they can be detected and inhibited by the use of evil magic.And there is no distinction between work and turbidity.Well, I can be ordered to be a cleaner behind the country.Redeem your sins by working unseen for your country.That's the other way. "

In the words of a woman, Adolf opened his eyes in surprise.

"... giving you a choice other than death?Besides, as part of His Majesty's orders,?

... you admit to paying for your sins in a way other than death?

The warm liquid spreads through Adolf's cheeks.... tears.

Because I thought it was a choice that I would never give him.

A given way of life would never be an easy life.Still, you can regret your sins and live for others.

The boss of this woman, who gave me that choice... tears overflowed by His Majesty's warmth.

"Adolf, will you live with us as human beings in the dark?... even if it's a path that will never be rewarded. "

That's how the woman gave Adolf one hand.He gazed at her with determined eyes and nodded one by one.And I put my hand in her hand.

At that moment, she transforms with her abilities.We moved to a small room with closed curtains.

There were two men there.

However, there are other signs of people, and Adolf swallows his spit, saying that if he tries to do something, his life will be taken from him at that moment.

There are His Majesty the King and His Holiness the Cardinal.

The ruler of this country, who saw Adolf's great sins on the spot.

"You chose to live on the path of redemption as a darkness."

His Majesty the King speaks to Adolf.

When he realized that he was standing up, Adolf rushed to his knees.

"If you will allow me to go that way... this time, I swear to you, I will not change my path and work for my country."

Hearing those words, Cardinal Hajime nodded with satisfaction and took out a dull silver ring from his pocket.

"You have gained the ability to exert evil.So, let's seal it with this magic tool.Fit it. "

That said, the ring handed over feels cold, heavier than anything else, like a shackle.

But he wasn't a stupid boy who knew nothing anymore.I never fitted the ring myself.

"What should I call it?"

Your Majesty will think for a while.

"How about a raven?It is a bird that is also expressed as a use of God.Isn't it a good name for this child who repents his sins and dedicates himself to the kingdom for redemption? "

"Yeah, that's right.Adolf, you will never call Adolf again. [M]... 'Raven', that's your name. "

Yes, Adolf will be told by His Majesty.

... 'Raven'.Who do his duty to the kingdom for atonement.That's me.

"This raven, with my strength, I will do my utmost for His Majesty, His Majesty, His Majesty, His Majesty."

That said, Adolf, no, the Raven hung his neck.

◆

"Well, where's Lillian..."

A boy in black looked around a small village from a tall tree branch.

The first job given to him during the initial training was regular Lillian monitoring and surveillance.

"Virgin!

Looking at the voice, Lillian was surrounded by two young children.

"I'm not a Virgin.Excuse me for being a real virgin. "

On the other side, the young man who led her down the road is watching with a smile.

Lillian scolds the children, and the children swell their cheeks.

"After all, oneechan put my father's lost leg back!Dad, we haven't eaten meat for a long time since you took out yesterday's rabbit!

Good, Lillian strokes their head, and they move away from the Raven's sight.

... he called me "The Virgin of the Border".

The raven stared at the bright sight of the day.

The path was different, and the two chose the path of redemption and were saved little by little, and they began to walk such a life.
