The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge

Leaving the theater, we decided to take a break at the cafe facing the south boulevard.

If you ask me, Beat, I think you wanted to make Quina your friend.

Nico was so successful, he's got strawberry shortcakes.

"..."

"Beato, I've got cream on my cheek."

"... eh... eh!

I stuffed your mouth with a handkerchief and it made me nicer.

Honestly, very cute.

"Killier and Beat, you're really close."

"Yeah, I think we're close"

I think it's a little different than friendship, though.

"Quina, by the way, that tone doesn't change."

"Kuse...... something like that ssss. Father, I've always had this tone since I was a little girl..."

That's what Quina replied as she pampered the fruit tart.

I don't know where my family is and I don't remember, and I'm sure you're anxious.

As a friend, I want to manage to help you.

"Knight, help me!

At that time, I heard a loud voice in quite a few seats.

If you look that way, your aunt is bowing her head to the knight on break.

"My husband, he hasn't been back for three days!

"Go home. The other day? You're playing somewhere anyway."

"No, my husband is not like that! Something must have gotten into the case--"

"Okay, okay, I'll talk to you upstairs for once."

Because he was sued directly during the break, or a knight who seemed to gloat.

My aunt thanked me and left, but I wonder if she really intends to report...

"... Speaking of which, I heard you chill when you left the castle. There's been an increase in the number of missing persons lately."

When I left the castle, I heard a soldier standing up.

He said there are so many people who don't know where they're going that they can't think about it normally.

It's a strange story, it's called a demonic anomaly.

"Something doesn't feel right..."

"... Huh!

Sticky.

Me and Quina's arms, Beat stuck.

Then I put parchment on it,

"Let's do something more tricky!

What do you say?

Well, sure.

I'm coming to see you because of this, and we'll talk about this later.

Even so, I can't think of anything fun to talk about, me.

"... you know, where else do you want to go?

... I twisted out a lot, but what's so fun about this?

"There's a ss! Killiers used to live in the king's capital. Place, I want to see. Shh!

Oops.

If you think you've failed, you should have eaten unexpectedly.

"Where I lived... right there"

"... eh"

Face to face with Beato.

That place I spent from the day I met this kid to the day I killed Burtoghu.

That store where I met leaders and stras.

Speaking of which, what's happening now...

Wang Dudong District.

The majority of people who live in the Wang capital live here, don't they?

There were many stores that grabbed daily necessities and ingredients, and I also said Beato and how nice to go.

I feel a little fresh walking around here dressed like a girl.

"I think it's time..."

I walked down a familiar path and saw the fountain square.

In this square is the shop where me and Beato lived in the Wang capital.

He hasn't been here long, but he probably hasn't been demolished or anything.

Because Mr. Gillius used a hidden passage here to deliver supplies when we were chased away by Soma.

"... there it is, that's it"

Shortly after I went out into the square, a nostalgic shop showed its face.

The sign is the one that's been removed, but the building stays put.

Without being crushed, it stays intact.

"That's the Returner Martial Arts Store. It's where Beat and I lived, where the leaders lived."

"... eh"

I wonder if you think you miss Beato too, he's got a cocky nod.

"Oh, that's where you two come from......!

Origin, huh?

If you ask me, I was shaped as I lived there with Beato.

They crushed the village, and it's like I've been dead before.

A little bit healed by Beato, but it was in its current form, wasn't it?

"Quina, why did you want to see this place?

"... Given, I admired Killier, ss. Kind to a stranger, Givens, strong, kind..."

"I'm not being nice. Buy it."

"He's sweet. At least not in Givens."

I wouldn't deny it any more if I were to say that...

"That's why I wanted to know. Before I met Given, I wanted to know where Mr. Killier was spending his time."

Yeah, that's kind of lame.

My face is getting hot, not even on the gala.

"Is that it? Is it lit?

"It's not lit. If you need anything, I'll go home."

"Aww, wait! Oh, my gosh!

I tried to walk away to the lights, and they grabbed my hand and pulled me back.

Beato is dusty smiling at me...

"Because of this, why don't we take a look inside?

"... I don't think there's anything interesting about it?

I wonder if I can get in in the first place.

I've already taken out the furniture and valuables, and there's no reason to put them on the key.

"Well, I guess it's ant to see how it goes. I just heard the noise."

I just heard about a lot of missing persons. It turns my head.

Even if it isn't, it would feel bad if they were making us their safe house to think about what's wrong here.

The entrance to the store, the key was normally open.

The store is completely cleaned up, and it's gallant.

I also thought the living space in the back could have been so large with the whole furniture being pulled away.

I looked around the whole time and just felt a little familiar.

But that's all.

"Right? It was nothing, was it? There's nothing more here."

"You're a lot lighter.... really, I didn't leave anything behind. Things, minds."

"Because I left it all where I was before I came here. 'Cause I'm gonna go get it after everything. I'm not gonna stop until then."

Beato seems a little different though.

Move around a little bit, I miss looking around.

"... something, I think I got it, sss. the source of Killier's strength, to Given somehow."

"Really? Good."

"Yeah, I'm glad you're here, sss"

Looks like Quina got something in a place like this.

You look refreshed, and I'm glad you're here... I guess.

"Well, there's no stopping hippos, is there? It's time to get back to the castle!

"Right. Beato, I'm coming."

"... Huh!

I've been a little while. Call Beato, from the living space to the store.

When you pass next to the counter,

"--hmm?"

I noticed that the hidden Tvira into the basement was left open.

But when Soma chased us, Mr. Gillius used a hidden passage in the basement to deliver supplies to us.

I wonder if I forgot to close it then...

"... that's odd. It's just strangely dirty here."

A lot of footprints are on the stairs, like after walking around on shitty dirt.

I don't really want to think about it, but this means someone's in and out of their hips, right?

"No way, the example people...?

"...... Huh!!

"... let's go see how it goes. You two wait here —— is it dangerous the other way around? Don't ever leave me."

Make sure they both nod and go down the stairs from me first.

Right behind you, Beato and Quina stick together perfectly.

When I go down the stairs and out onto the basement floor, naturally it's dark and I can't see anything.

I didn't bring a lamp, so I broke the pebble at my feet and injected [boiling] magic.

Make a ball of little magma, let it float and replace the lighting.

"All right, let's go. Both of you, stay vigilant--"

The moment I got the light and swept away, Quina, who was behind Beato, disappeared.

They sank under the ground in an instant, as if dragged into the water.
