When the lava blew up, there was the unblemished figure of Masamune in the sky above.
　It was the figure of an adventurer, wearing a brown robe.

　The sister was not surprised, as if she could have expected it, but her expression was filled with frustration and anger.
　She bared her teeth and showed her disgust.

'Your death is for the good of the world, there are those like you who love you, aren't there, and only your death can save them?

　Masamune laughs a small smile at the funny statement.

'What's that ... wrong creed.
'It's not a matter of beliefs, it's a matter of accepting facts.

　In the middle of his conversation with the sisters, Bernice was closing in from behind Masamune.
　But Bernice did not notice.
　Masamune was using his unique skill, the "fed up fallen person".
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it.
　It's a delayed world for Masamune alone from start to finish.

　Bernice approached the back of Masamune's head to unleash some kind of skill, but before he knew it, he scattered into a blood splatter.
　The sister's face clouded over.
　But it instantly turned into astonishment.
　It was because Masamune had closed the distance a moment ago and was standing in front of him.

''Gu........''

　Masamune grabbed him by the neck and squeezed him without any confirmation, and when he confirmed his death, he threw him to the ground at random.

　Uranos, who had seen the whole thing, confronted Masamune but was not belligerent.

'He's a student of Victoria,'

　Before Masamune could ask, he answered.

'I do not know the reason. I have cut off all ties with that academy.
Who's giving the orders? Who's that?

　Ulanos pointed to his own larynx.

'I'm not supposed to be able to answer.

　Masamune understood that he was under some kind of restraint.

　The noise caused Masamune to turn and look into the distance.
　While his body was being burned in the hole, Razhuisen had appeared down the hill to the battlefield.
　A new army of beastmen had already been brought in by the gates of the underworld, and another conflict was about to begin.

''Sierra........''

　He spots Sierra at the front of the herd and a thin smile breaks out, but it fades as he remembers Hilda.
　For Sierra, this battle is not an official affair.

'Masamune, why are you here...'

　Razhausen's troops spread out in a long, horizontal formation facing the enemy forces.
　Sierra is surprised by the appearance of Masamune, who appears.

'Sierra, retreat now!'
...What do you mean by that?
The Underworld is dead. The king has long since retired.
Our target is not the underworld, but the Empire.
Sierra....
'I'm here today to vindicate Edward and your sister's regrets. Please don't touch them.
Is this Patrick's decision?
The queen is the one to decide.
Alice?

　After the Cresta family returned to Lasthausen, Alice Cresta was married.
　In other words, she is Patrick's wife.

'Patrick didn't agree, well, he didn't, did he? There's no way that guy would have willingly picked a fight.
Even wise kings make mistakes sometimes. In this case, I'm sure the queen is right.
...You've changed, Sierra.
This is the path I believe in.

　Masamune sees that Sierra has nothing but feelings for her sister and anger at the one who killed her sister in her heart.

'If we get any closer, we'll have to know things we don't want to know.
What do you mean?
If you believe in this, you should see it for yourself.

　Radshausen is still unaware of the fact that Reinhardt has been guiding the Empire.
　He was presumed to be dead.

　The march began, and Masamune could only watch Sierra's back.
　Her figure disappears into the crowd of soldiers.

　Later, the war - the struggle between Radshausen and the remnants of the Empire - resumed.



　The sound of armor rubbing against each other, the sound of blade against blade, and the shockwave created by magic.
　I could hear all sorts of sounds on the disturbed earth as the dust clouds obscured my vision.
　A little distracted, I turn my distant eyes to the sight I'm tired of seeing.

　Grayberg and Latosphilia.
　I also committed a murder I hadn't planned to commit, hoping to be able to rule this place alone.
　But whether I erased them or not, the fighting continued, and now even Sierra showed up.
　While I was spending my time on revenge, everyone else was spending their days doing something else, and Sierra was different.
　I wondered, could I have changed myself?
　The end of vengeance was coming to an end - and the end of vengeance was near.

'Why are you here...'

　In front of me, I saw Sufilia's figure.

''I'm here to help you.
Help? .....

　I suddenly forgot, I'm not in the Devil's Land.
　The fact that Sufilia is here........
　I looked around.
　But there was no sign of Toa or any sign of her around.

"She's not here.
Well....

　I was relieved.

'Why don't you stop now, Toa can't save Master Masamune.
"...save it?
Do you remember what happened in Artemias? Masamune saved my life in spite of the opposition of those around me. From that time on, I have been loyal to you and I adore you.
What are you talking about here?
'He understood, didn't He, at that time? That's why He made me live. I understand at the same time. I understand Masamune's heart better than anyone else, even more than the Toa. Our circumstances seem to be different, but they are essentially very close. Seeking to make it up to the Toa will only result in her widening the hole in our hearts.
'Sufilia, I, for one, love the Toa.
'There is neither love nor love in the relationship of dependence. The Toa widens the gulf in Master Masamune's heart, which only adds to the brutality. Every time Toa asks her to do something, every time she gets involved, Masamune-sama's eyes return to their dimness, and she tries to justify herself by committing cruelty. Then he is the same as I once was. Masamune has taught me that this is not the way to go.　For me, killing the people was a way to make up for my heart, and my father had allowed it. If only the dragon's heart hadn't appeared, there would have been no inconvenience. If you told me to stop it, why won't you stop it yourself, Master Masamune?　The answer is simple: the presence of the Toa is what is forcing you to do, and the relationship of dependence is what is bringing you down.
No, no, no. I wanted to.
I want to see the Masamune of that time who saved me!
Sufilia...

　I can understand your thoughts.
　I can, but I need Toa....

You're in trouble.

　I hear a chilling voice and turn around.

'You........'

　There was the figure of Spillman the Bard.
　He was sitting in a triangle, grinning from a small pile of rocks.

'Is that the risk of the abyss?'
What are you doing here?
My grandfathers are on their way.
What did you say?

　I thought I told William that I would make it personal.

''So it started with the shadowy contradictions of disgust, and finally your signature 《emotional sensing》 has stopped working as well?
What?
What? No, no, I mean, you have the answer right in front of you. You're not gonna kill her?
What do you mean, "kill"?
'....Hmmm, I see. Well, no, I've learned about the abyss through you. But you know what, other than the fact that it creates something out of nothing, the abyss is a piece of shit.

　I didn't understand what he was saying, but I stared at him, my red eyes fluttering.

'Wow, that's scary!　I mean, don't you have to glare at me?　This time I'm here to tell you that I'm leaving.
Withdrawal?
'Yeah, I'm going to stop the blood flow now and I need you to leave me alone.
You've been letting me go before.
Really?
Get out of here, you're a pain in the butt.

　Immediately after that, red lightning bolts flew around them.

"Well, well, well, Master Amadeus, it's been a long time since you've been seen.

　A succession of members flew in after Lord Elferise.

''What does this mean?''
You mean that's not what you told Lord Vector?
He spoke...
I made him talk, and I made him plan.
Plot?
'Mr. Nito, William Vector is on the side of the church.

　Of the three dwarf brothers, Tom said.

'I know,'
'No, he didn't switch sides, he originally came over here as a spy. It was a plan to gain credibility that led to the meeting with the Brave Society.
Did you kill him?
'Of course!　Clever, isn't it, Lord Elferise?

　His white moustache laughs, "Ho ho ho.

'It's the same with sending Nito-san to the battlefield, the church wants to kill him.

　That's why those four people showed up.
　You mean Victoria, not the church.

It's not wise for you to go away without telling us. I hope that will not happen again in the future.
A mere war does not need the blood of a merciful man. This conflict will end soon enough.
I don't think so.

　Sir Elferise said.

This is an opportunity for us.
Opportunity?
Yes, sir. Our primary objective has always been the extermination of mankind. Then this war can be used for that.
But there are those within the organization who are opposed to the mistreatment of humans.
Do you mean to fall in love with me? I understand that you dealt with the armies of Latosfilia and Greberg earlier in the day alone.
....
If there are many of them, there will be some variation in thought. But eventually everyone will realize that there is no such thing as a good thing in life. But eventually everyone will realize that nothing good ever comes from being human.
"I have friends in Radshausen. I'm not going to kill them.
It's time for you to make up your mind. You have committed massacres in Dahms Ardan and elsewhere, but not in your friend's country, you are no Hydaka Masamune, you are Ankh Amadeus. The time has come for you to make your point.
Once again, Radshausen will not attack.
Granted! ----

　I split Sir Elferise's neck with my snake sword.

'Kah!

　My gaze falls downward as my knees collapse, holding my blood-spurting neck in check.
　Alicia, Lana, Gdufka, and the three dwarf brothers - Tom, Sam, and Dean - freeze in agitation at my actions.

'Master Amadeus.....'

　Rana is astonished.
　Alicia, on the other hand, looks calm and doesn't show any particular reaction.

''Ah, so you finally killed the old man. Well, I knew it was coming.''

　Spielmann looked down from the rock pile with amusement, gazing at the body.

'Why, Lord Elferise he did not say anything wrong. Wasn't it Lord Amadeus who told you that he was going to kill a human being!

　Rana appealed to him.

'The cause is Yagi. It's now only Greiberg and the Detrulites. I think Grayberg has changed since Arthur ascended the throne, and the Detrulites are just fighting among their own people, and we can leave the rest to Sylvia. This organization's role is over.
"...just as Lord Elferise said.
What?
You ... you think of us as tools.
Rana...
It makes no difference, you're only human.
They just use each other.

　Shpilman agitates.

'You're in retaliation for the elves who persecuted you and the bandits who sold themselves to the slavers, Alicia in retaliation for the skeevy lords, Gdufka in retaliation for those who took the dwarven lands, and the three dwarves in retaliation for the entire human race that oppressed them. It's not like they were all driven by loyalty or anything like that, right?
What about you, Spillman?

　Alicia asked.

'Me?　I'm not, I just looked like I was having some fun. And then there's him, I guess.

　Spillman pointed at me.

'I was curious about his ecology, since there aren't many people who have inhabited the abyss. But now that he's done with it, he's not going to do it anymore, and I'm out too. Anyway, Rana, you can do it yourself if you want to. The organization is still functioning just because he's out, you need to put it together yourself.

　There will be nothing more to talk about.
　Turning my back on them, I walk out to the battlefield alone.

'Master Amadeus!'

　I heard Alicia's voice.

'Only the Empire remains, I'll take care of the rest.
So what are we supposed to do about it?
There's no such thing as an end to this!
Ugh, traitor!

　Tom, Sam and Dean - I heard three voices.

'Are you happy with this?'

　Gudduka asks.

''Thanks for ... taking care of me,''

　I left the organization.
