"It looks like we're in, Faith. Let's keep our heads up.

Got it?

　Richt and Faith were walking around the various areas of Dystopia, trying to deal with the people that Rose had missed.
　To be honest, the opportunities for them to play an active role in this battle were quite limited.

　Faith's Grudge activates when she is killed, but it can only take out one person.

　In other words, the more opponents you have, the less effective Faith is.
　Also, it is unlikely that Rose and the other servants will be killed by humans, so Richt is in the same position.

But can you win in a simple one-on-one match?

It's okay. I've been working hard as an S-rank adventurer, so I can beat most people.

　In response to Faith's question, Richt replies in a way that doesn't make her worry.
　You can beat an ordinary soldier, but a captain-level adventurer is not a good match.
　I'm sure it's the same for Ferris.

"--Mr. Richt. There he is.

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.
　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it, but I'm going to have to.

I've seen that guy before.　I've seen that guy before. His name is ...... Gaito.

Is he famous?

Among humans, yeah. He was pretty good, but I didn't expect to find him here. ......

　Gaite's existence is still in Richt's mind.
　It is no exaggeration to say that everyone in Lesaga knows him, and he even has a medal that only three people in history have been awarded.

　If you compare Richt to a small fish, Guyt is a shark.
　You can't beat him even if you stand on your head.

"...... Faith.

You know what I'm talking about.

　Before Richt could give his orders, Faith took a step forward.
　She knows exactly what she needs to do.
　A normal person would have killed Faith before she could attack.

(...... What the hell is up with that kid?)

　But .
　With this one step, Gaite stops moving.

(That's weird. He's approaching without a weapon. Is he just an idiot or is he ......)

　Faith is the first type of enemy Gaito has encountered in his life.
　So, he has to be very careful.
　He has his sword at the ready, but has yet to attack.

"......

Are you coming?

What?

　When the two sides were within striking distance of each other.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I think it's a good idea.

　I'm not sure what to do.
　He took out the knife he had hidden in his thigh and attacked her as if he had an opening.

(A heart, a weapon!

　What Faith was aiming for here was not Gaito's heart, but his sword.
　If she could take his sword, she would be able to win by piercing herself with it.
　It was a necessary step, because suicide with a tool is meaningless unless you are the owner of the tool.

"Noob!

　But this was not the kind of opponent who could take a weapon so easily.
　Dodging Faith's attack, Gaito flicked the knife away with his foot.
　It was as easy as twisting a baby's hand to catch a girl who had lost her only weapon.

"Ugh!

(What the heck is this? ...... Too weak ......)

　The victory was too dull.
　Faith's arms are bound and her cheeks are pressed against the ground.
　There is no way to reverse this situation.

　Geith glanced at the lich.

"Hey, man!　What are you going to do now?" "I know you from somewhere.

　Geith was caught in his words.
　The same way that Richt knew Geito, Geito knew Richt's face.
　He couldn't remember exactly where he learned it, but it was definitely from the human world.

　It's not a fact that can be ignored.

You're human. Why are you here? Tell me your name!

"Well...

　The lich did not answer the question.
　And then, as if he were ready, he ran.
　Now is the time to use one arm to restrain Faith.

　Picking up Faith's knife in a straight line, Richt lunged for Gaito's throat.

. oops.

　Still .
　Still, he was a long way from killing Gaito.


　Just before the knife pierced him, he was grabbed by the arm.
　Gaite's grip, as strong as an ogre's, completely held Richt's arm in place.

　The more he struggled, the more intense the pain became.
　The more he struggled, the more pain he felt.

"I have a lot of questions for you. You'll get your questions answered.

　With that, Gaito pulls out a sturdy-looking rope.
　It is so durable that dozens of people could hang from it and it would not break.

　Roze and Aria would be able to tear it off easily, but Licht and Faith would be too much for them.

　The two are wrapped around each other back to back, and then their legs are swept clean off and they are knocked down.
　You can't even get up when you're like this.

"Ouch--Fairis, are you okay ......?

I'm not sure what to say.

　For some reason, she smiled fearlessly.
　Is this a sign of happiness or something else?
　I still don't know what she's thinking.
　I'm not sure what I'm thinking, but I feel like I'm wasting my time worrying about it.

Now for the first question.

"!

　With that line, a knife was thrust into Richt's shoulder.
