While walking out to the spot, Allen looked around, muttering to himself.
　However, while pretending to be calm, his mind is actually occupied with the confusion of what to do.
　Rather than wondering how to act, it is because you do not understand what is going on in the first place.

　To put it bluntly, although it came out like that, Allen doesn't know exactly what's going on.
　The truth is that I was going to gather information first, but since I didn't seem to have time for that, I left in a hurry.

　But, without showing any such pretense, he looked around the place and observed each one of them for the time being.
　You're going to be able to see a familiar face these days - Curtis, opposite Allen.
　The one in front of him, poised to protect Curtis, is a familiar face: ...... I think her name is Lisette.
　It is a member of the Kuro Wolf Order that we encountered in the city of Laurus.

　You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for, and you'll be able to find out what you're looking for.
　The two of them are not important.

　If you shift your gaze, you can see the iron-grilled room at the side of the stone passage where you are now.
　The faces there are also, I should say, familiar, and

Hmm, it's a bit weird to say you look good, isn't it?　It hasn't even been a day since the last time I saw you.
...... Considering the situation, I don't think it's strange?　I mean, ...... you actually have no idea what the situation is, do you?

　As expected of Henriette, she seems to know what's going on here.
　I'm going to have to shrug my shoulders as she gives me a scandalous look.

"Well, that doesn't mean I don't understand it. Well, it's not that I don't understand it, but I do understand the gist of it.
I'm sure. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here ...... and also the guy behind you.

　The moment you say that and turn your gaze to the back of Allen's head, Henriette feels a tremor in her body from behind.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

　I've been thinking about this for a while now, and then Curtis and the others seemed to realize who was behind Allen, and a look of astonishment appeared on their faces.
　You're going to be able to find out the best way to get the most out of this article.

You ...... why are you there ......!　What the hell does that mean ......!
What's the deal, I guess, as you see it?　It's best to ask someone who knows what's going on, and it's the fastest way to get to a place you don't know.
...... Celia, does that mean you betrayed me, you know?

　Confusion was on Lysette's face as she called out the name of the person behind Allen and said she had betrayed him and so on.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with us," he said, as if to say that it's impossible to do such a thing.

The moment the ...... Kuro Wolf Knights disobeyed my orders, they should be in deadly pain all over their bodies. There is no way I can betray ......!
It's a good thing I'm not the only one. It's not a bad idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. ......

　It is effective, albeit inhumane.
　Above all, he is on death row, and there is no one in this world who would call for the rights of criminals.

　Allen did not remove those fetters out of love for her.
　In the end, you have no right to complain to Allen because you are putting your own situation first.

Wait for ....... The way you put it, you've done something about the 'contract': ......!　That's something that should be impossible to terminate, even for the person with the gift of the contract: ......!
That being said, I could have handled it pretty easily at ......, right?

　It did look strong at first glance, but it was so strong that it was fragile.
　I used my omniscience and logic to poke at it a bit, and was able to break it rather easily.

...... really bullshit!
"Well, it's Allen. . that's something I would normally do.
No, isn't it funny that Henriette looks like she's on your side?

　In fact, I'm sure Henriette would do much better than Allen.
　It's because it was Henriette who taught Allen how to break wards and break magic.

As you can see, Henriette is a prisoner of woe. Being treated like your own kind is very, very bad.
"It's a bit smug by all accounts, but I don't want to be called pathetic. ......

　As I was saying that, Curtis also seemed to remember the current situation.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.

...... Well, I don't care how you got out of your contract. That's how you got the story out of him: ......!
"Well, I'm offended by that perception?　I mean, I don't think it looks like that?

　Although you can't see their faces because they are at the back, I'm sure Celia is watching Curtis and the others closely.

　To begin with, Allen originally intended to come here alone.
　You don't know what's going on, and in fact, I left Leeds and the others behind.
　Yet Celia is here because she wanted to come too, just to give you directions.

　Perhaps to make up for what he's done to himself.

...... Didn't you tell her you wanted to talk to her?　That's impossible. I know best that Celia still has the heart of a knight, even if she was corrupted by the Kuro Wolf Knights. There's no way you would betray her.
"Hmm, isn't it rather the other way around?
"Reverse ......?　What does that mean?
I'd like to ask you the opposite: ...... Is what you guys are doing really knightly?　Although they say it's for the sake of the country, in the end they're just forcing the guilt on an innocent person for the convenience of the higher-ups. It is because he is a knight that he would rather stop such a thing, even if it means being branded as a betrayal, than quietly comply with it.

　It's not like Allen actually said that to Celia.
　I thought so, and while I'm not saying he didn't say anything, what Allen said to Celia was much simpler.

　I just asked if this was really the right thing to do.



　And because of the anguish he showed there, Allen shattered the contract.

...... No, wait, you're talking crazy.
"Yeah, which part?　I'm only telling the truth: ......
"If you're right, ...... then you'll know my guard was that guy.
"Oh, you mean that?　-- Yeah, I knew that, but?
"What ......!

　It is true that there is no connection between Allen and Celia in normal circumstances.

　But the bodyguard that Curtis had with him was actually Celia.
　You will be able to talk to Celia after leaving the imperial capital, and it is precisely because he knew that that Allen chose to leave the imperial capital for a time.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a good idea of what's going on. Yeah, Leeds and the others were surprised and even pissed off.
"Of course you're going to be angry,
It's true, though.

　You knew that, but you didn't say anything.
　It's natural to be angry, and I've been honest about my anger.

You're ...... as expected, you're ......?　Silly, it can't be ......!　Then when did you realize that he was guarding me ......!
"Hmm?　Of course it's a start, but of course?　Well, if you want to be specific: ...... when you replaced the guy who attacked that elven forest in Finis?
"What ......!　Ba, stupid ......!　That means you can also say that he was an escort ......!
"Of course I noticed, but?

　The reason Allen didn't do anything despite realizing it was because he didn't know what Curtis was going to do after all.
　It could have really been for Henriette's benefit, or it could have been for Henriette's benefit for Allen to get his hands on it.

　It is precisely because this decision was not made until the end that Allen did not make this move.

You'll be able to see that you're not the only one. Because of my neglect, I put Noel and the others in danger.

　I got down on my knees and apologized, but I'll have to apologize again later, of course, to Leeds.
　To Leeds, of course.

"All of ...... was predictable. ......?　It's not possible. ...... if that's really possible: ......

　The look Lisette gave me while muttering was one I remembered.
　It was well turned on.

　The word "monster" can be heard at any moment, and a giggle escapes your lips.

　It's too late to say that I don't have any particular thoughts about ......, but that's a bit too strong a word.
　You will be able to get the most out of it.

　But to be honest, it is true that my thoughts are smaller than I thought.
　It's probably because I understand that there are people who are looking out for me at .......

　It's not the same as back then.

Now, to be frank, I'm not really sure ...... of the current situation, but at least I know that you're going to be a detriment to Henriette. It seems that leaving Henriette here will only make things worse, so I'm going to take her home .......
"You know what ...... is?　I'm the only one who can do something about her. I'm the only one who can do something about her. ......!
You might want to check that line you just said to yourself.　Do you think you can leave Henriette in the hands of people who would say such things?　And if it hadn't been for that, I don't know what I would have done.
"...... Are you Henriette's parents?
"I'm not a parent, but I think I have a right to worry about my friends, don't I?
"...... I never thought of you as a friend?
"What?　What was that more harsh than I expected?　Well, I certainly don't remember doing this or that as a friend,

　I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm going to be able to help you with that. ...... Suddenly, Curtis' behavior changed.
　I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get it right, but I'm going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get it right.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. It's you or ...... it's you, isn't it?　My sister won't be mine because you are ......!　All right, it's a good thing ...... that you're killed in front of your eyes, because I'm sure your sister will be ......!
"I have a feeling that ...... has a strange connection to you?
...... It's a common occurrence for you. It's a little late to come to a place like this in the first place.
"Well, are you sure about that?
...... has a lot of room to spare. ...... No, it certainly deserves to have room to spare. I've seen with my own eyes how out of standard you are. But ...... can you really wield that power here ......!
"Huh ......?

　That said, Curtis seemed to have some confidence.

　But while watching him, Allen nodded his head.
　It's true that this place may not be considered for combat, so it's too small to fight.

　But that would be true for Curtis as well, especially for elements that would put Allen behind--

...... No. Speaking of which, there's something strange about it, isn't there?
Haha, you finally realized that ......!　That's right, because this is a special place to seal the power of the gift: ......!　Apparently your power could be different from the gift, but no matter: ......!　We've even sealed the power of the devil here: ......!


"Hmm. ...... From the way you put it, it sounds like you've tried it before: ......?
"Haha, what, I'll show you in a minute: ......!
"Show ......?　Regardless of the implications of that ......, does that mean you can wield the power here regardless?
"Of course not, right?　I don't want anyone who visits here to have their gift sealed up in case something happens to them. Well, you can't, because you need a special magic tool to override the effect of this place: ......!
"Hmm ...... I see?
Haha, how about that, you know?　Then why don't you try begging for your life unceremoniously?　I'm not going to let you go for free now that you know everything and that you're in my way, but ...... and my feelings when I see it--

　--The World's End: The World's End.

It's not the same, but it's the same ......!
Surely there's a bit of a disconnect?　If it's done poorly, you might not be able to take it easy on yourself, but ......, well, I guess that's your responsibility.

　Watching his trial flash slice through the bars, Allen muttered to himself.

　You'll be able to use the power without any problems, but I was actually just going to try to lightly injure the bars.
　You're going to be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

　But it is also true that there is no need to go easy on you.
　You will be able to see that it's a hassle to clean up afterwards if you don't keep it to the level of fainting, but on the contrary, that's all there is to it.

　It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about it too much, because it's going to be difficult for Henriette to stay in the country any longer.

Well ...... then, let's get this over with. We've been in the country a little longer than we had planned. I'm sure Leeds will be pissed off if we don't get out of here soon.
Don't lick ......!　To the extent that I was able to use my ...... power, you would be in front of my ...... demon power I've captured!

　While shouting some worrisome words, something like darkness flooded out of Curtis' body.

　Narrowing his eyes at it, muttering to himself, he turned to Curtis as he came toward him and kicked the ground, too.
