To Be a Power in the Shadows!

When Yukime woke up, it was there on the horse.

Behind him was Moon Dan, and Yukime was in captivity.

The pierced wound hurt unevenly. But the blood has already stopped.

The Beast Man was strong in vitality and not deadly enough to be life-threatening right now.

But it doesn't make any difference that it's a serious injury. Escape will be difficult.

"Where are you going...?

Yukime asked in a weak voice. The neighborhood was a snowfield as far as I could see.

"I'm grasping that the provenance of counterfeit bills is a lawless city. Is that where the money is, too?

"... I see you're going to let us take you to the gold place."

"That's the thing. Honestly, I'll save your life."

Yukime laughed small at the edge of her lips.

"The Gold... Even if we get there, the Lord will get the Gold."

"- What is it?"

"There's John Smith Hansu. You can't beat him in the Lord."

"Is that your accomplice... But with new power, I have no defeat. Never again will they take it from you."

"A new force......? Moon Dan, what the hell is wrong with you?"

"If you don't have the strength, you'll be robbed. I know you don't, but there's a denomination behind the world. It's an outrageous organization that manipulates, captures, and experiments with beasts. The mighty Demon Foxes and the Great Wolves were after them."

"The Demon Fox and the Great Wolf were being targeted...?

"Oh. I suggested I gain obedience. Without power, they will take it away. That's why I got the power...!

The strength caged in Moon Dan's arms.

"Moon Dan... If that's true, why did the village perish? Why did the Lord join the Order?"

"May fly!! This wasn't supposed to happen! For this to happen if you follow Sir Mordred...... But... I can't pull back now. I will never again gain the power to take anything important away from me. If the Federation of Great Chambers works I can get into the Rounds, that way no one will let me in, that's why I became Awakener 3rd!!

"Awakener 3rd......?

"A presence that can maximize the power of the tablets, the power you need to get into the Rounds!

Kutsukutsu and Moon Dan snorted.

"Hey Yukime, tell me. Where's the money?"

"... don't you think I'll teach you"

"If I get into the Rounds, they won't take it away from me again. Both the Demon Fox and the Great Wolf are just me and you now. Let's start over, Yukime."

"Moon Dan..."

"I guess you didn't kill me because you still have feelings. For a long time you have been a woman of deep emotion. We're fiancées, now it's really time to get married."

Moon Dan hugs Yukime from behind.

Face and bring those lips closer to Yukime's cheek. Yukime was bending over with his eyes meditating.

And -.

"... no"

Rejected.

"... what?

"Wow I know Moon Dan wasn't this weak... He wasn't the kind of man who would go into a church until he put it on a tablet, put it on gold, and betrayed something important!

"... shut up"

"Moon Dan...... why does the Lord not tell me to defeat the Order together, so Arinsu"

"Huh - I would be telling you to shut up!!

Moon Dan barked.

Throw Yukime off the horse, ride over her and strangle her.

"What do you know!! I've never even met Lord Mordred, you know my despair!! To that man...... everyone gives in before that man!! It's not just me, it's not just me!!

It was like a child desperately begging for forgiveness.

"Moon... Dan..."

Strength enters the arm that strangles him.

In a fading consciousness, tears fell zero from Yukime's eyes.

"Help... John... Hang on..."

And there was powdered snow around the breeze.

One man appears during a white-dyed night.

Powdered snow was dancing around him and steel thread was shrugging and cutting the sky.

- You're the one who took my precious things.

The man, who hides his face in a mask and walks over a black suit - John Smith.

He is a man who burns in retribution.
