"Come on!

　Richt shouts.
　He couldn't help but scream.
　The heat on his shoulders was making him do it.
No matter how he tried, it was impossible to keep his composure.

　And then.
　And by the time the heat turns to pain, he can't say anything else.

"So the question is. Where am I?　I thought I was at the entrance to the dungeon, but before I knew it I was warped in.

"Ugh. ......

Secondly. Who are you people?　I've seen you before, especially in the human world. Tell me why you're here.

　For a few seconds, they waited for Gaito to answer.
　A moment of silence envelops the place.

　But no matter how much time passes, Richt refuses to answer.
　No.
　He can't answer.

　Eventually.
　The silence was broken by Geith's tongue.

Are you in too much pain for that?　A normal man would vomit in a desperate attempt to keep from getting another one. ...... It was a little too stimulating.

　Guyt looks up in disgust.
　These people are so pathetic that they're killing their own people.
　That fact brings you to a place where you are beyond anger.

The woman is awfully quiet. A normal woman would be crying so that she wouldn't be eaten.

　What bothered Geith here was the fact that Faith showed no reaction at all.
　In his experience, many women who are put in this kind of situation scream.

　Some go crazy imagining what will happen to them, while others sob with worry for their partner.

　And yet.
　No one, like Faith, said a word.
　The rarity of it all piqued Gaite's curiosity.

"Hey, woman. I'm gonna ask you the same question. Answer it.

..................

　Faith, like Licht, refused to answer.
　In fact, he hasn't moved a muscle.

"Tsk.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
　That's what Geith concluded.
　He couldn't expect any more reactions or answers.

"Hey, are you listening--

　Geith grabbed Faith's bangs and lifted them lightly.
　He was not expecting an answer from Faith.
　It's more like he's trying to have an effect on the lich who is being harmed by his partner.

　Maybe I'll just give him a scratch on his face.
　As I was thinking about this, my eyes happened to meet Faith's left eye.

"--......!

　Gaito let go of her hand.
　And then Faith's body fell with a thud, following gravity.

　That moment in time.
　An indescribable chill ran through her body.
　The gaze that seemed to have gathered all the hatred in the world was forever burned into Geith's mind.

　An innocent boy or girl who knew nothing about the world would have died of shock if that gaze had been directed at them.

　Even now, my body trembles when I remember.

　Is it possible to be so angry just because you stabbed another person, a lich?
　There was so much murderous intent and hatred in that look.

"Oh, hey man!　It's about time you answered!

　As if to distract himself.
　To distract himself, Gaito looked at Richt.
　His instincts told him to stay out of Faith's way.

"What the hell are you--

"What the hell are you--" "Richt-san!　Ferris!

　The sound of a door being kicked down echoed throughout the realm.
　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I've seen it before.

I'm not sure what to do.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
　It's nothing compared to Richt's speed.
　I'm not sure if you've seen this before.
　The wind pressure alone seemed to lift the bodies of Licht and Faith.

　Dozens of broken bones, vital organs destroyed.
　Death is absolutely inevitable.

"...... Rose, take this rope--

Richter!　I was worried about you!



"...... No, untie me from this rope--

　I'm not sure why I'm crying -- and the snot on my favorite clothes makes me lose my cool.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what's going on in your life.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.

　Apparently, Rose is lamenting the fact that Richt has been harmed.
　He seems to be on the verge of committing seppuku right now with the knife he pulled out.

The Demon Lord told me to go to ...... Richt-san and Faith, but I'm a jerk. ......

That's all right, Rose. It's okay, Rose. Ferris is in pain.

"......, yes. I'm really sorry .......

　Rosé easily cut through the tight rope.
　This is a great way to make sure that you are getting the most out of your time with us.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.　You can ask Iris and Tise to prepare some medicinal herbs for you.

"...... Well, it will heal once you die, but--

　Richt's suggestion.
　Rosé and Faith shake their heads sideways, buzzing.
　There was a definite rejection there.

I'll come to you guys when ...... is done.

　With these words.
　I'm going to go to you two after is over." With these words, Roze and Faith smiled as if they were satisfied.

　You can't have second thoughts with this smile on your face.
　With the support of the two, Richt was forced to leave the battlefield.
