"Rayne escaped?
It was the day after Rayne left the cell that Arios received that report.
Everything is going exactly as I thought it would.
It's time to bring Rain to justice.
And I will make you regret the foolishness you have committed.
Though Arios was in a good mood to think about that...
After receiving a report from a visit to Knights headquarters to see how Rain is doing, his mood drops sharply.
"I haven't heard that, but... what do you mean?
"Ha, that's the..."
Arios stares at me, and the knight wanders off.
They didn't see such a subordinate, and the top knight falls into Arios' response.
"Yesterday, the suspect escaped. If citizens find out that a murderer is lurking in the city, the upset will spread. Therefore, it needs to be handled confidentially…"
"I'm not a citizen. A brave man. And I'm involved in this. And yet, why not report it?
"... excuse me. The suspect didn't just escape, he was confused because he caused a very big problem... and the report came later"
"Problem? What, what's that?
"Come here."
Guided by the knight, Arios moved to a private room.
I guess it's a secret story.
"As a matter of fact... the suspect took the princess, who came to see us, hostage and escaped."
"... what?
Arios gets pompous.
"The problem is the only one that needs to be solved in a hurry… so I became rushed and delayed in reporting to Arios. I'm sorry."
"Did he take the princess hostage? Is that really?
"Yes, definitely. Several of my men have witnessed it. I'm currently laying down a warrant... because of this, it's difficult to hide it through, so I thought I'd expose it sooner or later."
"I see."
Arios puts his hand on his mouth and takes a thinking trick.
It was meant to hide the grin.
Naturally, jailbreak is a felony.
You will be given a heavier sin.
Not only that, but if you take the princess hostage, you can no longer be exonerated of state treason.
Heavy labor in lifetime, mines, etc, no matter how lucky you were.
It's usually the death penalty.
Arios was troubled.
Though I fell for Rayne, the charge is murder.
It's not necessarily possible to make it a death sentence for sure.
But if you took the princess hostage and kidnapped her, it's like the death penalty is already confirmed.
I can't believe you tied your own neck.
How grateful.
Arios was desperate because he would put up with the laughter coming up.
If it's true, I just want to laugh and curse Rain right now.
"I'd like to use your help, Arios..."
"Hmm. Right... a big problem. Of course, I can help."
"Thank you. I'm in the process of gathering information while searching for the princess... so I might be able to help you, Arios, as soon as we get together."
"Now report it properly without delay."
"Ha!"
Dropped off by a saluting knight, Arios left the Knights headquarters behind.
――――――――――
"Ah, it's Arios. Welcome back."
Upon returning to the castle room where he was staying, he was greeted by Leanne.
She had nothing to do in particular, and Leanne was taking care of her nails.
There are also Mina and Agus figures.
Mina was reading a book.
It's a book published by the Church, written about God's teachings.
Agus was silently caring for his weapons.
Monica doesn't look like her.
Even when it comes to surveillance, we don't stay together for 24 hours.
We act together when we go outside, but often we act differently when we don't.
Arios took Monica out of consciousness, without much concern.
"I didn't see anything, but where were you going?
"I've been slow here lately, but shouldn't it be time to do some activity?
Mina shut the book down and asked Arios that.
In contrast, Arios laughs and shows niggardly.
... he had a very ugly smile, like malice condensed.
"Right, we need to do some activity. And... there's been a hell of a case."
"Hmm? With Doyuko?
"I hear Rayne escaped."
"Heh? That garbage worm?
"Besides, he took the princess hostage in some cases."
"Seriously!?
Lene shouted out loud and surprised.
Mina was circling her eyes and Agus stopped taking care of her armor and looked at Arios.
"Sounds like we're gathering information now... but we're going to move anyway."
"I can't believe you kidnapped the princess... did he get laid?
"Either way, that's not something you can forgive."
Leanne and Mina verbally accused Rain.
Agus is... staring at Arios with a face that doesn't know what he's thinking.
"Let's rescue the princess with our hands. And discuss Rain. Nothing wrong with that, huh?
"Yeah, that's okay, isn't it? If you help the princess, our stock will rise. Could you give me a gold stamp?
"Leanne. I can't believe we're talking about money at a time like this..."
"Fine, fine. It hasn't been a good thing here... and it's a chance to get a handle on it, all at once. You can't miss this chance."
"Leanne is right, it's also a good opportunity to change the way we value our surroundings. Let's make sure we don't fail."
And... let's kill Rayne.
Arios added, in his heart, secretly.
"... haha"
Leanne and Mina began to talk about how to catch Rayne.
Those two ask me for my opinion, and Agus, who kept his mouth shut, joins the story.
Seeing his motivating companions, Arios was content.
I hate to admit it, but Rayne is a formidable enemy.
Once in the past, I have the power to defeat myself...
It's also troublesome that we follow the most powerful species.
When you fight, you have to give it your total strength.
So it's a good thing the guys are motivated.
To punish Rayne.
To satisfy my thoughts.
Let's get our people to hang in there.
... Arios was thinking about that.
I have no compassion for my peers in that thought.
One thing is, how do you get it to be useful?
That's all.
"Wait, Rayne... now it's time to end it"
That day, that time...
Arios lost to Rain.
Everything started to go crazy from then on.
Being a brave man, Rain is lifted when he is left alone and should be useless.
That's crazy.
That must not happen.
Mistakes must be corrected.
And... here comes that chance.
Otherwise, Rayne is a clown.
Have them even dance funny......
And let's get the place up.
By stepping on such a rain, we move on to the next stage.
A glorious future is promised.
... Arios spilled a grin full of unhideable joy as he circled his dark thoughts.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
