Goussetsu uttered a series of horrible words.
　It seeps into the silence and freezes the air.
　Charlotte managed to lift her numb tongue and stammer out a quivering voice.

I'm not sure how you ...... did that!
What? It's simple. It's just a righteous indignation, sir.

　Gousset shook his head lazily. 　　

I just can't take it anymore. A world in which people like you suffer and are exploited should be corrected by force.
"...... still ...... still, no!

　Charlotte shouted with all her might.
　I have thoughts of those who have oppressed me and taken everything from me. You can't feel resentment or anger or anything like that yet, but you can definitely feel a twinge in your chest.

　But that doesn't mean I can overlook the horror of ...... destroying a country!

I don't want that to happen. ......!　Please don't!
I don't want that. You are the victim. Retaliation is natural.
You can't do this!　You can't even involve innocent people in this ...... thing!
You're so kind, ......, it's pathetic.

　Goussetsu looked up at the sky with a sigh.

I'm sure it's the wizard's fault.
"...... Mr. Allen, is it?
You're right. I'm not sure what to make of that.

　I'm not sure what to make of that.
　I'm not sure what to make of that.

I've been watching you guys for a while now. That young man claims that he will make you happy, but he has taken no action to retaliate against that country. He just spends his days in idleness. It's just laziness.
"Lazy." ......
Is there another word for it? He's not saving you, he's corrupting you.

　Charlotte's eyes widened at the harsh words. Her fingertips went cold and a numbness crept into the back of her head.
　In the past, she wouldn't have been able to say anything back to her opponent. But now, Charlotte was different.
　She stared straight at Goussetsu and said.

"That's not true.
"...... What?
It was with Mr. Allen that I was finally able to live.

　Quiet days with nothing to fear.
　The days were quiet, with no fear, and yet they changed little by little, and every moment was precious.
　We laughed, we cried, we got angry. I never thought the day would come when I could express my emotions like that.

　I owe my change to ...... Allen.

I'm not going to let you deny that, no matter how much you want to, Goussetsu-san!
I'm sure you're not the only one who's been seduced by that young man. Only we can save you properly.

　There was no hesitation in Goussetsu's eyes.
　A thin smile appeared on his face.

"You will see that soon enough. You'll see that soon enough, once you're away from that young man.
"What did you do to Mr. Allen, ......?
"What? Don't worry. He's perfectly healthy. But since he's a hindrance to our plans, ...... Fenrir and I have captured the Noble Dragon under guard.
"No. ......!

　Dragons that are immune to magic.
　I'm sure they'll be Allen's worst enemy.

(Because of me, Allen and Lu are in danger. ......!

　While Charlotte is in a daze of despair, Goussetsu is in a good mood.

I've been trying to figure out how to get you away from that man, but it's a blessing that you've come so close to ....... Thanks to you, I can move forward at once.

　So saying, Goussetsu extended his paw reverently.

'Come, come with me. I hope you enjoy the hell I'm creating for you.
"Oh, ......!　No, please don't come to ......!

　I stepped back in horror.
　But soon a wall blocked his way and he was cut off from the way out.
　The demons in the area also quietly crept towards Charlotte, narrowing the encirclement.

　My knees were shaking and I was about to burst into tears. But then... there were words that came to my mind.

'Even if you're trapped in a nightmare, I'm going to save you. So don't worry about a thing.

　The night I once had a nightmare.


　Allen's words gave Charlotte the courage she needed.
　With all the strength she could muster, she shouted.

"Help me, ......!　Mr. Allen!

　The voice reverberated off the walls of the pit and shook the high blue sky.
　The next moment...

"Of course!
"Of course!" "......!

　The usual voice poured down from the heavens.
　When I looked up, I saw Allen standing at the edge of the ...... pit with a fearless smile on his face.
