"Leader? What the hell?"

Oh, a joke... right...?

Leader, he's got a pokanne look.

It's like being called a leader for the first time now.

Besides, it's like you've never seen me before.

... Oh, well.

I don't know because I'm covering my face, I'm on guard, I'm sure.

If you take the veil and the hood off, and show me your face, you'll see.

"Look, leader! It's me, Killier! It doesn't have to be..."

"Killier......? Hey, lady, you know me, but what's that leader?

"Leaders are leaders, aren't they!? You're our leader, you're my brother!?

"Hey Killier, calm down. Just give me one more voice and drop it."

"Ah..., sorry..."

I guess I got a little too emotional......

The leader was alive, but he didn't seem to know me, and the thought circuit was messed up.

Chill your head, take a deep breath and calm your feelings, then ask again.

"... hey, you're definitely the leader, right? The leader of the resistance, Bulge Returner, right?

"... sorry, I don't remember anything"

"Remember, I don't...?

You don't remember, even your own name?

Not about Stige, not about Mr. Gillius or Stra?

"You lost your memory? Why..."

"I don't know. My first memory came from Toko, who was dying of a very high fever."

The leader told me, the beginning of me now.

It's a memory of being swayed by a carriage while being fevered.

Many times I was dying, and when the fever finally caught on, I realized I didn't have a memory.

"I don't even know the wax, but after a month's journey, I was brought here. And the experiment started."

"Experiment...?

"Oh, that's what they called it here. Even if they experiment, they'll even fight demons. Many times a day, I kept killing them, from dragons and chimailas, to guys like you who don't know if they're tentacles or meat chunks."

But the leader kept winning.

The people here were so surprised that they were strong.

The leader I know shouldn't be so resistant to bullshit.

"When those days lasted about a week, I was sick and tired of it. I don't know. I couldn't stand it when they said it, and I don't know. I'm putting my life on hold. I was so annoyed myself."

... Yeah, even if I lose my memory, the leader is still the leader.

An invertebrate spirit that stands head-on against irrational violence and pressure.

Even if I lose my memory, the roots are the same.

Something's pissed me off.

"So you escaped."

"Oh, I'm not sure what the details are, but I don't like it. I was wondering if I could expose their evil deeds. I know the entrance and exit, and then I dive in like this even after I run away, and I'm all sorts of things to explore."

So you're saying, Leader, you know a lot of information here.

"Well, once you're done with me. Explain it to you again. You two know each other? Where am I? Who am I?

"... uh, first"

"Wait a minute, Killier. Explain it to me, I think this guy's just gonna get confused. In turn, let it be small."

Oh, well, I was trying to explain everything from one to ten.

Toka's advice, that's what it feels like to be an old man, isn't it?

He introduces himself to me and Toka first, then puts out his name first, then his family, where he comes from, and asks if he can't remember.

But the leader just flutters his neck to the side.

"Sorry, I knew I couldn't remember anything..."

"Oh well... But I'm glad you're alive. Stra... you're my sister, right? Show Stra how well you're doing, too. I was so depressed."

If the leader finds out he's alive, Stra, Mr. Gillius, and everyone at Stige will be delighted.

"It's the mountains that do that, but we can't leave here right now. I've been caught trying to experiment with some of them, and I've been saving them all over the city. Let them go and stay away."

"... okay, is there any other way? I'll tell the Stras from my mouth."

"Thank you, Killier."

I just gave you my name, but you called me the way I've always been.

Even if you lose your memory, you're still the same person.

"So, from here on out, our question. You said you were collecting information earlier. Minister —— do you know where Gustav Maximilian is? He's a little fat, he seems mild, but he's a pretty middle-aged guy."

"Gustav, I know if you're in Germany. He's one of the people in charge of the artificial bravery experiment."

"'Artificial Brave'......!?

What the hell is that?

Such a noisy word for the first time.

"What is it, an artificial brave man? Let me know more."

"Ouch. You know what a gift sphere is?

"I know. I have a toca, too."

To my word, Toka lifted the necklace.

The leader nods to the sparkling black light.

"If you do something with the power of Soviet power, you can artificially make brave men, such research."

"Brave man, are you? Not only can you use [gifts], but you become stronger every time you kill something, a true brave man?

"No, you can't take protection. It's nice. But if you are a [Gift], you can also use the Gift Ball (Gift Sphere) in addition to your own hand. If he wasn't strong, he might not be able to put his hands on it."

Once that technology is complete, even the mighty Paradise won't be able to reach anyone anymore.

"Toka, the situation seems a lot worse than I thought"

"Right. I hope you don't get weird, but it's unlikely."

These are the kind of guys who stick with Tartus and even give him a ball of courage (gift sphere).

It's evil. It's a trick.

"... but such a big plan, you're unprepared to crush it. Let's just find out now."

Let's take it back, talk to Joana, and then think about crushing it again or letting it go.

Because he's a paradigm person, and he'll be counting on that area.

"You're calmer than I thought, Killier"

"Because I'm not on the side of justice. My purpose is paramount. Hey Leader, please. Tell me where Gustav is."

Before I go home to Stige, I have to at least kill this guy.

Gustav, a minister who gave direct instructions to Karon, as he attacked my village.

I'll give you plenty of living hell to regret being alive.

"Noisy, what's going on?

"... Levia, huh? Another example intruder. Personnel ripped off in response, not annoying."

Former Minister of the Kingdom of Deltirado, Gustav.

Sitting at the research desk, I make tea without moving to Levia, who appeared behind me without sound.

"Yes, another intruder? I'm not interested, and you guys can handle it."

"Let me do that, of course. But there's one report I'm worried about. It's not none of your business, either."

"... for once, let me ask you"

"There is a different intruder than the usual rat. The numbers are unknown, but one of them called the Magic Pilot (Golem)."

"Golem......? What do you mean? [Airmen] should have it now by Blum..."
