Forgive me, Richt.

"...... yes?

　It came out of nowhere.

　An old man with a familiar face appeared in front of Richt, who was working as a member of a party of S-rank adventurers.
　He was holding a neat document in his hand and found himself surrounded by more than ten soldiers.

"What do you mean, ......?

　Licht desperately tried to organize his mind, but he could not find any reason to be treated like this.
　The situation is incomprehensible, but he intuitively understands that there is no escape.
　There was no one nearby, so I couldn't even ask for help.

　All I could do was wait for the old man's reply.

As you can see from this document, I've been ordered by the government to execute you. I hope you don't take it personally.

"Execution order?　What have I done?　I've paid my taxes, and I've been active as an adventurer.

It's your skills that are the problem.

　The old man's unexpected words caught Licht by surprise.
　The execution order from the government is not given unless you have committed a very serious crime.
　He was understandably upset by the punishment, which he did not remember at all.

　He was told only one thing as he struggled to resist.
　It's not something that can ever be accepted.

"The skill is ...... "Revive the Dead", right?　What's the problem?

"Your skill is too dangerous. It's true that there are people who have been saved by it, but its power to revive even demons can be troublesome if it's misused. Besides, rumor has it that if you fail, you'll end up creating zombies, right?

"That's too unreasonable!　There's no way they'd abuse it!　And it's not true that it creates zombies!

　The old man's additional explanation did not convince Licht.

　It's true that even demons can be reanimated.
　Resurrection can be applied not only to humans but also to various other species.

　But I didn't like the idea of misuse.
　It was also a flat out lie that it would turn you into a zombie.
　In the first place, Richt had never failed to "reanimate the dead".

That's right!　Let me talk it over with the rest of the party!

"Then let's talk about it.

What?

　The old man heard Richt's words and shifted one step to the right.
　There was Allen, a fellow member of the S-rank adventurer party.

　While he was thinking about why he was here, Allen opened his mouth apologetically.

Licht, I'm sorry. I can't go against the orders of the government. I want you to be patient for our sake.

What are you talking about, ......?　If I leave the party...

You know, you did me a favor at first. But now we don't screw up and die on quests. So your skills are useless.

　The words were cold and dismissive.
　It's hard to argue with a line that explains Richt's position in the party so clearly.

　As Richt was thinking about his next words, he was easily seized by a soldier.

That's it. You will be executed without regret. Thank you for your service to your country.

　Without waiting for Richt's reply.
　He was blindfolded and handcuffed so that he could no longer move.

　The last thing Richt saw was Allen receiving a large reward from the old man.
