The next morning.

Before the sun could rise, I woke up.

Outside the window is a remnant of the night.

The city in the darkness was still sleeping.

Looking under the bed, Fam didn't show up.Has he gone somewhere? Has he already stuck around as my shadow?

... well, it doesn't matter.I just do what I have to do.

When I was about to go to practice in the morning, I noticed a lot.

Hmm? You don't have one cage.

I couldn't find one of the cages I usually wear.

I'm not looking anywhere.

That cage was given to me by Haruna when I joined Guren's fangs.

My name is engraved on it.

"If you don't write your name properly, you'll lose it," Haruna joked and carved it into her cage.

Nahat and Irene saw it.

"It's not for kids."

She was laughing with her belly in her arms.

It's one of the memories of when we were still working together.

"... I can't help it. I'll look for it later."

Working hours are approaching.We can't be late.

Once I cut it up, I left the room.

After about an hour of training at the training yard, he returns to the barracks.When I took a shower and sweated, it was time for the sun to rise and go to work.

"Sieg, can I have a word with you?"

When I came to work, Bolton called me.

"There's something I want to hear from you guys."

... what?

I felt a strange chest disturbance in the unexpected.

The faces of our Fifth Squad can be gathered in the Commander's office.

Bolton, who was smoking a cigar, made sure there were no signs of people around him, and then he spit out the smoke before opening his heavy mouth.

"Actually, the orb of light was stolen."

Hmm!?

Everyone, including me, cried out.

The orb of light was stolen?

"Whoa, that sucks, right? The Orb of Light is sealed by the Devil, isn't it?Come back to life!"Spinoza says.

"No, the Witch of Light is alive.They will not be resurrected soon.But if we don't find out soon, we'll be in trouble. "

Bolton answers.

"Commander Bolton, who stole the Orb of Light?"

"I don't know. This morning, the knight who went on a tour of the treasure trove found the key broken, and when he entered, he said there was no light orb."

"Well, isn't that the killer?I'm cutting my temples. "

"... it's a common pattern that the first discoverer is the killer.Spinoza, that's a good idea for you. "

"You know what? If you put him in a good spot, he might break his mouth."

"No, don't be violent!And don't doubt people!It's quick to decide without solid evidence. "

"Seyla's right," Bolton said."The knight has an alibi.She stayed at a woman's house all night. I can't do it. "

"Really?"

"Someone else must have broken into the vault and stolen the orb of light.By now, the Knights will be looking for it. "

Bolton blows cigarettes.

"Maybe we'll get a request too.I'll help you, but I'll make sure they keep their heads down. "

I had a bad look on my face.

It seems to be my stomach to relieve my daily anger.

It was then.

"Captain Bolton! The Knights are here!"

"What would you do if you heard a rumor?"

Bolton put out the cigarette fire, distorting his mouth.The door was opened roughly at the same time.

The Knights are rapidly falling into the avalanche.

"Wow, that's pretty rough."

Bolton looks to Gregor for irony.

Gregor raised his hand to give a signal without responding.

Then the knights stood up with the weapons that they had all at once.The tip of the sword or spear is slightly aimed at one place.

Everything about the spear was right for me.

"... what the hell are you imitating?"

"Sieg, I'm detaining you on suspicion of light orb theft."

"--What?"

It was an incredible proclamation.

You think I stole the orb of light?

"Hey, what the hell is going on? Explain."

Bolton said excitedly to Gregor.

"There's no explanation, there's no meaning.He's suspected of stealing an orb of light.That's why I'm holding you. "

"That can't be right!Yesterday, Mr. Sieg was in church with me!It's impossible to steal an orb of light! "

Seyla made a rough call trying to defend me.

But...

"The orb was stolen at night.Your testimony is not an alibi. "

Gregor kicks me in the face.

"But...! I can't believe Mr. Sieg stole the orb!Mr. Sieg has been fighting for this king's capital for his life!?Even when she was escorting the Princess!Gregor understands that too!? "

"It's possible it was all an act.If he had conspired with the Devil, fighting for his life would not prove his loyalty. "

"Ah! What I'm saying is a mockery of Mr. Sieg's work so far!It's impossible to communicate with the demons! "

"Don't let emotions talk to you, woman."

Gregor's words were as cold as a knife.

"Your words are speculative and unfounded.The eyes of the loved ones make them lose sight of the truth. "

"... but..."

It was when Seyla clogged her words.

"When? What was Sieg doing when the orb of light was stolen?If there's someone who can prove it, there's no problem, right? "

Spinoza said that with her pinky finger loosening her ear.

What about there?

"I slept at home last night.There was a fam. "

"Oh, well, then I guess that's the solution.If there was a fam, wouldn't an alibi have been made?You saw Sieg, didn't you? "

"... I..."

It was when Fam tried to open his mouth.

I saw an evil light passing through Gregor's eyes staring at us.It's like waiting for the moment the prey falls into a trap.

I came up with the possibility of being there.

No, wait.

Speaking, Fam stopped speaking.

"Fam was definitely in my room.But I went to bed early.She can't prove her innocence. "

Ha?

"... Sieg, what the hell are you doing?"

All my friends had a suspicious look on their faces.

That would be the case.

I let myself stop proving my alibi.

Last night, there was a fam in my room.He must have slept in the gap under the bed.She can testify that I was in her room.

But...

She's with the Fifth Squad.

It is not a complete third party.

Therefore, even if she proves my alibi, it is not credible and there is even the possibility that she will be detained as much as I am for perjury.

Gregor's eyes when Fam opened his mouth.

That was something that came to mind for those with evil schemes.

"... that's a good guess."

Gregor murmured so loudly that he could not hear.

"Hmm, I guess so. You can't have been in your room at night.- Because evidence of the crime has already been given. "

I took it out of my pocket with a smile on my mouth.

I was surprised to see it.

Because it was a cage that I thought was gone.

"This is what fell into the treasure trove.Your name was engraved on it.--Sieg, this cage is yours, isn't it? "

"... oh, yeah."

It has a name on it.There is no escape.

"If so, this is the most immobile evidence.You dropped your hand last night when you stole an orb from the vault. "

…………

Maybe somebody took my army out of my room last night.

And I put it in the vault.

To tailor me as a killer.

That's how it looks.

Gregor was still letting us swim.

Even if Fam talks about my alibi, he'll find unshakeable evidence.If she succeeds, she will also be detained for perjury.

I could've dodged it...

I couldn't prove my innocence.

"Too artificial."

Bolton said.

"I can only imagine that someone else did it to fit him."

"Bolton, don't speculate.Evidence is out.At least we need to take Sieg into custody and interrogate him. "

Gregor said so.

"Take me!"

The ordered knights will take me with them.

Mr. Sieg!

"Hey, you're kidding me!"

"... I can't let him go like this."

Friends of the Fifth Squad try to defy the Knights.

Situations in which they look at each other and are instantaneous.

The battle begins as it is.

If that happens, everyone will put their hands on you.

"Guys, don't touch me."

I controlled them before they pulled out their swords.

Defeating the Knights and getting out of here would be easy in itself.But if you do, you'll be completely branded as a criminal.

We can't bring our people into this.

"I'll be fine. I will come back to prove my innocence."

While saying that, I also understood that it was difficult.

Gregor is totally convinced I'm the killer.After holding him, he will try to force him to serve his sentence in order to preserve his honour.

So there's only one way to be innocent.

That's...

Find out who set me up and catch him.

I can't move freely in prison, but I still have to do it to prove my innocence.
