The city was still quiet at night.

There was a past in which outside humans could not enter the city by the previous Lord…. You were supposed to be released from it, but the city I'm walking in isn't looking good right now.

There was still more movement between the inhabitants during the time when Lishua had taken them to the mansion. Whenever the night goes by, it feels like people don't come out caged in their homes.

I get it, but I guess it's because I'm scared of ancient demons.

By analogy, it's the same situation as the Tenryu in Gallia. They're in E territory. That can't be defeated. Because only those who have reached the same realm can be fathomed.

Others can only flee or shrink in concealment, even if the Tenryu is rampaged.

The city seemed to have a frightening atmosphere about to be attacked by the Tenryu.

"The outhouse is nowhere to be found..."

"If it's not on the best boulevard in this city, you already know that, right?

"Ahhh, I was enjoying a specialty dish from a desert city."

"Why don't you ask Lishua?

"That's no good. She's full of ancient demons, and I asked for Roxy. I can't tell you how much I want you to eat your specialty dishes in that situation."

'All right, let's fight the ancient demons. Eat it. "

"I'm not as greedy as you."

I'll pound the black sword greed and sink your evil heart into it.

I was walking on a quiet boulevard, but for some reason... I was curious about the details on the right.

Peeping in, I didn't see what was going on in the back dimly.

"What's up, Faith?

"No... somehow"

I have something very drawn to me. There is no firm reason. But the feeling that I should step in here now, that I don't know what to do, pushes my back.

'When you feel something like that, I don't think you should go'

"But... I'm still going"

Advice from the Grid who has lived for a long time. But I walked into an alley with no streets and no moonlight.

"Faith, Use Your Dark Vision Skill"

"He said he knew. You're a caretaker."

'You've had no choice since we met. Damn, it's troublesome.

"That's tough, hahahaha"

"Don't laugh like any other HR!

Activate the "Dark Vision" skill to move on, as told by your moderating grid.

After a while walking, a pair in black is having some conversation. I can tell from my stature and gear that I'm a samurai, but I obviously felt a sign of being sloppy. And even if only those around them had dark vision skills, they remained dim.

Skills not working!? Such things have happened before.

That was similar to when I tried to use my appraisal skills to find out her status and skills when I met Mine.

It is clear that those two are not the only ones, even this alone.

Dive in and try to deafen your ears to listen to the conversation.

But I never heard it. As a holy knight, I am empowered by the kingdom to control suspicious persons.

Let's speak up and see what we're doing. That's what I think, I'm getting closer.

The pair probably noticed before I moved out.

It's a dim, thin alley, hard to find but hard to escape from. If I'm worried about it and I press it down with my status, it's going to hold me down without difficulty.

One stayed with his body toward me and the other slowly started walking in the opposite direction from me.

"Whoa, stop!

It also tries to ignore the stationary words and disappear into the dark. I can't stop, I try to run, but I'm held back by the other one who stays.

"Well, wait. Faith."

That familiar voice. Happily I stopped in front of him and looked up at his face, which I still couldn't see clearly.

For a while, silent time passes. The clouds on the moon flow and gradually illuminate the face of the man in front of you.

"Father..."

In front of me in Seifert, the king's capital, he took the stone of the wise man and the reine and disappeared. The news from then was unknown.

No way... I didn't expect to see you here.

Containing the emotions that creep up, he jumps back and takes a certain distance from his father.

"Dude, what? So far apart, what's up?

"You bet. What happened to Rhine? What about the sage stone? What have you been up to?

Say what you want to know quickly as you pull the black sword out of your sheath.

"It's because of you. It's still nighttime."

"Dad!

Dad doesn't take black spears out of the void, he shows me the room when he stuffs a black sword in one hand. That makes me feel so calm and too childish.

"Well, calm down. First, one. Don't worry, Rhine's protecting us here."

"What protection! You kidnapped me!

"I'm sorry I took you away in that way. But not now. She's convinced, too, that we're acting together."

"What is that..."

"A match of interest."

Do you mean Rhine is with his father at his will......

From my expression, I guess I got some convincing, and he keeps talking.

"I can't tell you the rest. I wonder what the sage stone was doing now."

"Dad!"

I never seemed to hear any more of my words. He's got a black sword, but he's getting close without moving, and he's not.

"Faith, you followed me even though I said so much..."

"Even I have something to do. I can't stand still in the king's capital."

"Right... five years since then... no, you're about to be six years..."

My father, turning his back on me, was laughing thinly.

I never looked back as it was, but just towards me. Tell me it's important.

"Demons of the desert, but you keep your hands shut"

"Why?"

"A little, it's the one that's related to me. Plus, in Faith right now, loads are heavy."

"That's not true. Even me."

"Is that the realm of e? Then you know what I mean. From here on out, it doesn't make sense to overlap the stats, because it involves the skill and qualities of the person who handles it."

"That's about it..."

"Fine then. But the bulimic skill devours the soul of the defeated subject, and makes everything his own. From now on, the battle on the realm of E. will be repeated. You will suffer beyond your imagination. Skills can interfere, but watch out for uncontrollable status."

I step in and try to get him close to my back. But for that matter, I only went one step further and took the distance to my father.

"Faith, if you want to fight, I'll tell you. What you are about to fight for is a special creature called the Holy Beast. Holy blessing would make no sense from the front, even if… the major crime weapon you possess. What do you say? Still fighting?

"I'll fight. Because I've already made up my mind."

"Right... right. Rhine told me. I hear you've defeated Tenryu in that cursed land of Gallia. If you're such an unscrupulous person, why don't you stop where I said... But don't push it. Is your body about to degenerate?

"... is that what Rhine tells you too?

"She was worried about Faith. And I'm worried too."

Father walking out slowly.

I'm not going to let you go. Strengthen but stop. With that in mind,

"As far as I'm concerned, I want you to be a child."

"Dad!"

A black spear with cold air was removed from the void.

But I still don't even pretend to stand with my back turned.

"If we fight in this city for real, we'll see what happens... we'll see."

……

"You still think you can stop me?

".................. cum"

"Good boy."

There was no way to exchange this city if it was taken like a hostage.

When his father took the stone of Rhine and the wise man in the king's capital, he froze many people. But I never took it till my life. Because the frozen people were released intact after their father left.

I felt like such a person wouldn't do anything to involve others, even if he was in battle with me here and now.

Maybe I let my father go because the tattoo on his red glowing face... has put enough pressure on him to blunt my thoughts.

"Well, it looks like time has run out. See you, Faith."

Father disappeared into the darkness, which he could not even see with his dark vision skills.

I've been stuck out of there for a while. Fix it with a deep breath to calm the beat that was only a little faster.

'I didn't know you... were a father. Is your reckoning good or bad'

"Oh, I'm surprised, too. But I'm glad to see you. And it turns out that demons in the desert are like holy beasts."

"Holy beast... this is another big thing..."

"My father said even Gried couldn't fathom the Holy Beast, okay?

"Ha!? Me!?... but it's just a weapon, after all, it depends on the user. I mean... '

"You mean it's up to me?

'That's what I'm talking about. It's about refinement. Well, from now on, I'm just talking about my special performance, which I can't get over. Either way, this Holy Beast fight will inspire Faith to grasp something.'

"You know what? I'm not going to lose. If we lose, the people here will get lost in the streets."

'I know. I'm just saying think about what if. If you missee the trigger, you can lose even your loved ones. Remember, you're not the only one fighting right now.'

"Oh......"

The more I look up at the sky, the thicker clouds that were, the more they are flowing somewhere.

The manly moon turned up and even the dimly lit alley was well lit.

We still have time until late at night. It was originally a walk to distract me, and let me take a stroll through the quiet city for a while.

'It's a lot going on. You want a drink or something?

"You can't. After this, you fight the Holy Beast a lot. I'm not the one who can defeat you in a drunken mood. And try that."

'Well, Ellis will piss me off and Roxy will scold me. And don't let Memil suck your blood. Ha-ha-ha.'

"It's not funny!

Don't you feel nervous at all? But only because Grid is a weapon.

The point is, it's up to me, the user.
