Behind the slightly running bushes, the cliffs were breathtakingly high.
A young boy was nodding at the edge of the cliff.
"What's the matter? Are you okay?"
As Nelson rushed over, the boy looked back and relaxed his bitter crimson face a bit.
"Oh, thank goodness, someone's here."
The boy said with relief.
It's okay, there's three of us.
That's what Norrish says and approaches the boy with Nelson.
"Can't you get up? Did you get hurt somewhere?...... ah
Norish, who realized why the boy was succumbing to it, said nothing more.
Ugh
Nelson unexpectedly raised his voice and stopped his legs.
"What's the matter?"
Raido, who approached from behind them, peeked into the boy's hand and took a breath.
The boy was trying to help someone who was about to fall off the cliff with his arm outstretched.
If one of them had been a fellow boy's child, for example, Nelson and Norish would have reluctantly helped.
But the boy was trying to grab it by the hand and pull it up from the cliff.
It was an ugly monster I had never seen before.
Although his body is not so different from that of a boy, he has four strange eyes, jagged fangs peeking through his large torn mouth, a scales covering his entire body, and a thick, viscous skin that appears to be in the gap covered by his beard.
"Shushu, shushu, shushu, shushu."
If you're a sorcerer, you know. It wasn't even dark, but it had an evil vibe.
In any case, it did not seem like a compatible being with humans.
"I want to raise my friend."
Without worrying about the upsetting of the three, the boy said.
"Brothers, give me a hand."
"Friends"
In addition to the words, Norish looks at the boy.
"It's a friend of yours."
"Yes, it is."
The boy nods bitterly.
"He's a dear friend of mine."
"I'm not going to attack you."
"What are you talking about?" You can't do that, can you? "
The monster opened its mouth in response to the words. The saliva pulls the thread and the fangs clatter.
Beside Norish, who hesitated, Nelson crouched down next to the boy.
"I'll help you, Norish, Raido."
"Nelson."
Thank you, big brother.
Regardless of the bewildered Norish voice, Nelson extended his arm and grabbed the monster's arm.
"It looks like that, but it might be a good guy." If you're telling me you're a friend, I'll help you for now. "
Nelson said exactly.
"Help me, both of you."
"... I see."
Yeah.
Norish and Raido grabbed the monster's arm as well.
Though the monster was heavy in size, it could still be pulled up onto the cliff without difficulty with the strength of the four.
"Oh, thank goodness."
The boy broke his sweaty face.
"Thank you, brothers."
"No, it's nothing."
It was when Nelson smiled cheerfully.
The monster that had just been rescued moved.
My fangs are glowing. The monster jumped at the boy's neck.
"It's dangerous."
Screaming, Norish stuck out his staff.
Nelson suddenly pulls the boy's body.
His fangs blurred and red blood danced from the boy's neck.
The monster's body swims through the sky under the influence of Norish's specialty wind magic.
"Ahhhh"
The boy raised his voice in despair.
There was no ground before the monster was blown up.
The monster fell to the bottom of the cliff as it glanced through the air.
Neither Nelson nor Raido could do anything about it.
"My friend."
The boy shouted.
"Why?"
"I'm sorry."
Norish murmured with a blue face.
If it wasn't strong magic, I wouldn't have made it.
"He tried to eat you." You hurt your neck, didn't you? "
As Nelson says, the boy shakes his head. Red blood danced from his neck again on the beat.
"It's not like that." Why did you drop my friend on the cliff? "
The boy grabbed Norish.
"I could have helped you so much." Give it back. "
"Hold on. He's not my friend, he's a monster."
Nelson grabbed the boy's shoulder and tried to pull him away from Norish, but the boy resisted it with all his strength.
"No way! He's my friend!"
Norish bites his lips while the boy grabs him.
"Give it back!"
"I'm sorry, but to save you..."
It was when Norish said that again.
Suddenly the boy disappeared.
"Deduction 3"
With that voice, a man in a pure white robe slowly rose from under the cliff.
"You bastard."
Nelson sticks out his staff.
"You're out." What is a derogation? "
Thou art the first.
The white Putty points to Nelson.
"Without knowing the circumstances, I rescued the monster. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem to harm anyone."
"But he told me that monster was his friend."
Nelson said.
"That's why I believed it."
"I don't have anything to believe the words of the first person I met."
Putty laughed with his nose.
"Believing is the first thing you can do with a relationship. I will not say that I believe in the words of those whom I have just met like thee. It was just flushed."
"That would be your reasoning."
Nelson shakes his head.
"What you're saying doesn't resonate in my heart." Your words are not the same as those that Professor Irmis said to me in class or that Almark said to me before the play. "
“I can't hear you because you don't understand righteousness.”
Putty shrugged his shoulders.
"It's no different from a beast driven only by emotions. Deduction 1"
When Putie said that, she pointed to Norish the next time.
You're next.
In response to the words, Norish looks at Puti with tears in his eyes.
"This time, you hesitated to help the monster." The judgment would have been right, but in the end it was passed on to the people. "
"It wasn't flushed."
Norish shakes his head.
"I thought Nelson was right. I thought I'd help you first, and if it was dangerous, I'd deal with it then.”
Is that the result?
Putty looked under the cliff.
“I pushed the monster to the cliff in front of a child who believes in the monster as a friend.”
That's...
Norish's eyes shook.
"I didn't make it in time."
There must have been a lot of other magic that could be used.
Putty doesn't let up his pursuit.
"It was good to just seal off the monster's movement." There was no need to use such strong magic near such a cliff. More to the point, I wish I had wrapped it in a magical net the first time I pulled up a monster. ”
Puti looked at Norish coldly with white eyes.
"A sweet perception led to tragedy. This is what you caused. Derogation 1"
Norish's eyes spilled tears.
"Hey, you."
Nelson made a low voice.
"Everything you've been saying since before, isn't it a posteriori result theory?" We tried to do our best on the spot. "
If you do your best, is that okay?
Putty hangs the edge of his lip. At that, he looked terribly ruthless and spicy.
"There's no point in passing. All that's left is the result."
"I don't like it."
Nelson said to throw up.
"I don't like the way you think."
“Justice is not something you like or dislike.”
Puti said coldly, pointing at Raido at the end.
"Finally, thou, thou didst little this time."
When I said that, I looked at Raido with a contemptuous look.
"Unresponsible, despicable bystanders. Incompetence just drifted by a fellow. Deduction 1"
Every time Putty made a derogation of 1, the forest swayed. Each time, the invisible breathlessness that surrounds you deepens.
"White petite"
Raido said.
"No, Sarkis."
In that name, Putty raised his eyebrows with a strange look on his face.
"What's your name?"
"It's my brother's name." Just like you, right? "
Raido replied.
You said just now that you were on the sidelines.
Saying that, Raido looks back at Putih.
“No, not by the sidelines.”
His gentle expression peeked at his bare face.
"I was observing."
