Led by Radshausen and with the help of magical communications, an arrangement was issued across the continent. The Detlelight and Greiberg remained on the sidelines, uninvolved in the proceedings.
　The Eight-Georgia Alliance is now lost, and these two countries are the only major powers left. The nations spent their time fighting for the site of the Eightfold Alliance, which had no one to rule it. The two countries did not give any importance to the arrangements and requests issued under the name of the King of the Abyss, and did not respond to them.

　Two years passed quickly.
　The coalition created under Rashausen is still searching for Masamune. The days had gone by without any clues.
　King Patrick asked for help from the Demon Kingdom of Urszola, but Lucius' answer was the same as two years ago.

　The Detritus has built its own national base and has a stable government; the walled city, which consisted of thirteen wards, is spreading as its territory expands in subsequent years.

　Greiberg aims to destroy the White Order - the Bloodline of the Charity, and has unleashed a strike force led by the Holy Knight Commander - the Steel Spider - across the continent.
　The White Order is now a huge organization with bases in many countries. It is close to the Gaterals, which were once used by the Kings of the Yagi for their underhanded livelihood. The difference is that the Governor and the surrounding leadership are made up of non-human species. The organization has a great hatred for humans.

　In the midst of all this, there is one young white cat tribe that is steadily gaining fame - the Nem.
　Nem began searching for Masamune on her own two years ago. She hasn't been to the Razhuisen coven and is unaware of the Abyssal King's sealing plan.
　On her journey to find her master, she stopped in several villages, towns and small countries to engage in and solve problems. When this became an everyday occurrence, Nem became known as the "White Witch". She was known for her cute and powerful appearance, fighting with her white hair in disarray.

　When Sierra hears about Nem, she is granted an audience with Patrick. There, she advises him to follow Nem.







I know you're there, Masamune.

　Inside that hole the prophet once showed me.....
　But a lot of time has passed since then, and the images in my head are so vague that I don't know if they are correct or not. But whether it's right or wrong, what the soothsayer will show the past me is the future me, the me who is here now.
　The past me is likely to be looking at me now.

　Leaning against the rock wall, I moved my head only to look at the plain outside to my left. Through these eyes, I wonder if the past me is also looking at this view now.
　Am I feeling a kind of calmness in this mind that has no ups and downs?

'Were you here?'

　I knew it was time for Nem to come around. So I wasn't surprised.
　I could see Nemu's face as he looked at me.







　It's been nearly two years since I disappeared. The world is looking for "Hidaka Masamune," and I've heard that his picture is posted all over the world.
　The bloodline of the Jishi has been destroyed, and it is said that they have changed their name to the White Order. It is said that the hunt for the White Order is underway by the Knights of St. Gwynn in Greiberg.

''Everyone is looking for their master........''

　If Nem came to visit me and the reason, I know why. It's because Saeki, not Mr. Lucius, is going to start a war. That's what Nem in the prophecy said, as I recall.

'The war is going to start, isn't it?'

War? And Nem made a funny face and said, "No. I haven't heard of it. Oh, yes, what war is it?

　I'd noticed it a little bit. So I checked it out bluntly.
　The war has not and will not happen.
　Indeed, Nem said something in the prophecy that sounded like Saeki had started the war. I don't even know what purpose he had in mind. I knew that, and I figured that the future me would have given up my vengeance on Saeki. With time, people usually forget any kind of resentment, I thought, so maybe I'm the same way.
　So I made him relapse. As it turned out, that could be the best revenge I could get.

'Isn't Saeki starting a war?'

By Saeki, do you mean the former holy knight commander of Grayberg, an otherworlder like your master?

Yeah, you know it well.

　Apparently the current Holy Knight Captain is not Saeki. That's true, too, and he shouldn't be living as a holy knight chief with that.

''I know, but he didn't start any wars.

'Oh yeah...'

"Yes, sir. Yes, but the current Holy Knight Commander's march could be called a war. What they are doing is a unilateral slaughter of White Order members.

...Slaughter?

'For that matter, Master, where have you been for two years?　It was hard to find him. If it hadn't been for Nem, we wouldn't have found it.

Well Nem has a keen sense of smell, doesn't he?

Have you been here all this time?

Yeah, I've been here the whole time. This body doesn't need to be eaten. I'm more like a dead man than a living thing now. I'm like a spirit with a physical body, I don't sweat and my body doesn't get dirty. I don't care how long I stay here, nothing will change.

You're not hungry?

Yeah, not at all.

'Well it's changed outside. Master, may I ask you something?

Hmm?

Is it true that you killed the otherworldly people of Greberg?

Well I see. So that's why I'm on the wanted list.

It's...

Isn't it?

Don't you deny it?

Yeah, no denying it. I killed him. Now it's just Saeki and Ichijo.

'I heard you killed the family of the former Holy Knight Commander.

Yeah, that's right. That's right. It's true. It's not a mistake. I killed her.

　Nem's mouth was trembling.

'Keeping your mouth shut won't change the fact that I killed him. Nem, what do you want to know so badly?

'I have heard that Amadeus, of the blood of the Charity, was a master.

'That is also true. In order to protect Toa and Nem and Sufilia and everyone else, I went around killing people and people who didn't belong. Well, as it turns out I didn't protect anyone.

The White Order.

I don't know about that. I'm out of it.

　Nem hid his face and wiped his face, trying not to let the tears flowing from both eyes be noticed.
　Still, my heart felt nothing. I don't even feel sorry.

I see. So that means someone who knows about it showed up.

　There's a man who knows everything I used to do. But not many people do.
　Alicia, for example, helped me avenge my death. But that was just to infiltrate Saeki's home. That's about it.
　So it's Lucius, then. If that's the case, is it because I let Toa die...?

"Did Mr. Lucius sell me out?

I heard that you are still waiting for your master in the Devil's Land.

　Not even Lucius. So, then there's only the Almighty God or something else. Or Romero, or someone who could rival Romero........

''Master. Nem can't believe it. He can't believe his master killed so many people.

It's all my doing,

That's a lie!

Call it what you will. Nem isn't just pure Nem anymore, is he?　You know who I am. What kind of person I really am.

'The kind master who reached out to Nem in his cage that day that is the master to Nem.

　You mean in the warehouse in Radshausen. It was me, Toa and Sierra rescuing Nem, who had been captured by the slavers. It's a long time ago........

　Suddenly, I felt the presence of a human from outside.

''Looks like........we've got a guest.

　And that's a lot of people. I feel the presence of countless people outside the hole.
