'Hah!　You're an idiot!

　It was Relivia who raised her voice.
　She cursed Borunga, who had put away his sword before the demon's overthrow, cursing him.
　That Bornga, as expected, had turned his back to 21 and had completely calmed down his battle spirit.

''Your opponent is a demon!　It's The Numbered Child!　He's the cause of all the havoc being wreaked on the Saw Kingdom right now. No!　It's not just Sawyer. My country was also attacked by a group of them. You're one of them, so why don't you cut them down?

　Lelivia has a point.
　No, you are right.
　It's not a good idea to let the demons live.
　Defeating them here would be the right answer.

　To be honest, they are not the kind of people you can expect to convert.
　They are the kind of people who are worried about the world and are giving their bodies to the world.
　These guys' resolve is not half-hearted.

　But what was Bornga's answer--''

As I said before, I have no taste for slaying women.

　That's the one point.
　Apparently, even more than a demon, my childhood friend(s) is stubborn.

　Relivia wasn't the only one who was indignant at Borunga's reaction.

''You!　I'm licking it!

　21 was also raging.
　He's already under my restraining spell and can't move.
　I don't know what to do, but I'm a living witness.
　There was no way I was going to let him go.

"Kill him!　I don't want to be at the mercy of you guys for being merciful.

　21 glares at Bornga.
　His intimidating attitude is even more than when he is fighting.
　And yet, Bornga didn't accept 21's request, as if he was pushing his arm against Goodwill.

Why do I have to listen to the loser?

Don't be silly!

I'm serious...

You!　Oh, yes!　Do you feel sorry for me?　Just because I'm a half-breed (dhampir). I don't enjoy having those feelings directed at me!　It's annoying!

What?　When have I ever taken pity on you?　It doesn't matter if you're a dhampir or a clown, it doesn't matter. In general, the only person I want to cut is that guy over there!

　The Volunga points at me.

　Hey, man. Don't point at people.
　Didn't your father teach you that?

'Ole-sama doesn't care if you're a demon or a world crisis as long as you can beat up Lacelle. Aren't you the one who cares the most about half-breeds (Dhampir) and humans?

Huh?

'How can you discriminate against yourself?　You need to live with more heart.

　Borunga spun around and turned his back again.
　He said what he wanted to say, and if he felt refreshed, he looked like he had just bitten down on some bitter worm and was rubbing his back teeth just barely.

　As usual, I don't know what Bornga is thinking.
　When it comes to bumping people off, he sometimes speaks better.
　Apparently he's grown more complex than I thought he would.

　And - to my great regret - I also understand what Bornga is saying.

　We were raised in the Stark Realm without discrimination.
　There are many different species.
　There were different races, different professions.
　It's a territory where there is no difference in status, where the lord plows the fields together with the people of his domain.

　But by no means was there no discrimination in the Stark territory.
　The same is true of my father in Borunga.
　Still, my father, Luxol, accepted his son and put him in school.

　So, I am not immune to discrimination by any means.

　Borunga also overcame those things and is now standing here.

'21..... If and when your sins are cleared one day, go to the Stark territory where Borunga and I grew up. There you will find the answers you seek.

..........

　Hmm?　Hey, you're listening to me.

　21 is looking at Bornga very intently.........
　And his face is red.........

　What is it?
　What do you mean?

The flag is up.

　Shush, it was Relivia who gave a mischievous smile.

　What is it?　Flag as.
　Come to think of it, I think someone else has said that before.
　What kind of language system has evolved over the last 300 years?

Your child Lacelle won't understand.

What?

'Talk about love outweighing any kind of hatred........ Mufufufu.

　It was like a full stomach, and Relivia seemed satisfied.

　Hmm. As usual, I don't understand.
　Like Borunga, I'm surrounded by people who act in mysterious ways.

"If love trumps any kind of hatred, then if you have love too, will you stop hating me?

'Hey!　What are you talking about?　You!

What?

Well, I'm not!　I don't care about you!　I don't like you one bit!

　Lelivia exclaimed.
　For some reason, she was as red in the face as 21.

　I don't need to be told that, but I know that.
　What is Lelivia getting pissed off about?

　Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

　It was then.
　The sound of an explosion roared in the Saw Trading Country again.
　A loud white smoke rose.

　I noticed that there were more of them than before.
　Down there, my companions are probably fighting against the 'Numbered Children (Numbers)'.
　A duplicate of me is headed for the team that is at a disadvantage, but they must be fighting a fierce battle.

　I'm happy to help out, but hopefully they'll be able to figure it out on their own like Boronga and Relivia did.

　Otherwise, it's no training at all.

　I raised the corners of my mouth.
