This was the day before we moved

「Phew, okay, made it in time Hey, I did it!」

I looked over at the sleepy Shuria after saying that

「Yan Oh! So this is the co where Shuria and Minnalis aiting with a high cape that had the power of negating light,the wielder beco finished with so in the 『Clothes of the Shadow Soul』that I had loved to use in the first world, I used it for this operation as well

So in the depths of the night, I crept with it and one curved Kukri knife

It's blade was a deep red, al, it looked quite suited for its

「Hee hee, that's soenerated there」

Shuria's 「Red Sight」 shone like a s in the dark rooinal 『Large Sword of Violence』 but the bait of the 『Sloth』part is enough」

The activation conditions of 『Sloth』that I planned to use was the 『Sloth』curse in the weapon itself

It was rare that a cursed thing had a definite effect However, it wasn't impossible to find a piece that would do al the many utensils, furniture and masks that had multiple shady pasts, there were too s that Shuria had set out to collect in the town, and frooblin had carried in a dungeon near the capital of the Aurolia E】ability

The result was the 『Cursed-Blood Knife』that I held in my hand

「Good job, master」

「Yeah, thanks」

Minnalis made some hot milk for me and put the cup on the table

「Preparations are over Noe just wait until toot up from the chair and patted Minnalis on the head

「It'll be fine We're going to do this easily」

Shuria gripped Minnalis' hand

「Yes, finally, finally They shall receive no forgiveness froht smile that looked like it would quickly ether

☆

「Keril, I'e, okay?」

「Yeah, don't cry at night when you're alone, okay?」

「How old do you think I aon to the closest village fro with a frown, and though they were used to it, she was so cute that it made your heart jump

Since she was invited to be a student after leaving the village, shemen that would make her anxious when they approached her, but because of that she noticed it

After that, we had quite a feists and turns together and e graduated, it was time to marry

「I'll be there the day after toe hi」

「Yeah, let's have the greatestthat, a smile foron to the village, and after borrowing a horse, two

It was 10 days until our e, as there were room

That's why Lucia was on her way home first, as I had business to do in Carbonheim and then would follow suit

With that in on fade away until I could see her no longer

「…ah…s rose up in ht about it

Both Lucia and I cae

We were found to have talent in the town nearest by the Magician's Group and ere made students of Carbonhei as huo there until you're older』

That eventless tiny village…it's not that I hated it Even so, it seems so obscure now I had dreae, and fly into the world

And the day that I finally fleay to that place the adults called the city caot in a book from my parents

I would read them over and over to the point that a treasured book of ic sword, not letting a sainst the ene a massive evil – the true heroic story of a et involved with things and bad stuff would happen

I deepened my bonds with others as I overcame many obstacles

A practical road fores I visited, like 『East Village』and『West Village』

Noe're the e are now

There, walking towards me is a mother and child beast-person

Their ears are shaped sory…」

「Please, just wait until dinner」

Looking at the little girl begging her mom made me think of another childhood friend

Just a year before I left, a childhood friend that was chased fro that day now makes my heart a little heavy

Froether, and then she was betrayed

As the adults said, she was apeople…a beast

The first tie, I was very surprised

Because in the eyes of the people, a beast is no different than a ht to be evil

But Minnalis kept all that secret from us

The fact that Minnalis bullied Lucia wasn't forgivable as well

But a childhood friend is just that We were raised together

It seemed that she and her mother went away to some town far beyond the horizon, so ht

If you correct your mistakes, anyone can have a second chance

「Yeah, the power of being a beast is too much And she was still a child」

Now more than five years have passed, and in the sarown, Minnalis must have as well

I know that Minnalis isn't bad in her heart of hearts

Since Lucia was bullied by Minnalis directly, there was no way she would find it easy to forgive her

Even so the bright and kind Lucia thought that after some time she could hing together in that childhood scene

It certainly was a happy one

「Well, time to clear out of this dorm」

Different than enlisted students, those who are joining the army as an internal student aren't forced to live in the dorm

Of course we both decided to leave our doran living our life in the ar

We had just accusto from dorm life

(…? Is someone in my room?)

When I reached for the doorknob, I could feel someone inside the room

Woojess, ht and wouldn't be back until toh, so I had locked the door

It was hard to think that another dore in

(It's impossible…but maybe a thief? I mean, Woojess is a rich kid with a lot ofaround, right?)

I had rabbed my sword from my waist and opened the door

「Who is it?! What are you doing in my room?!」

Inside of my room, there was a person in a robe with their back to the door facing the open

「…」

Silence returned after I had demanded who the person was

「Why are you quiet, you thief? Sorry, but there's nothing of value here…」

「Long time since I've seen this…『Tales of the Hero of the Dawn』 You still have it」

Then, that voice that reachedvoice of a young girl

A voice that I had heard before

I was so surprised that I didn't even look at the book that I had left on ed a bit」

Fwup, she slung back her hood, and I saw her rabbit-ears pop up

She looked back at rown into a beauty that would enchant any man into amazement

「Min…nalis? It's you?」

「Yes…it's been five, no, six years? A really long time had passed, hasn't it」

She made a pained smile in front of my surprised face as she said it

「Ohh! Oh! It has been a while! Minnalis!」

「…yes, you're right For now, do you want to go somewhere we can talk? Maybe have lunch, I have a lot to speak to you about」

☆

We went to a place with few people, in other words the back-alleys, and found a place to eat

It should have been the busiest time, but it seemed like ere the only one in the place

「Even still, you've grown so ht you were soh a lot, which row up very quickly」

Minnalis sood Minnalis You really have grown)

Because of the e separated, I thought e, unfounded resentrownnow, Minnalis? In that get-up, are you live-in help for soed froirl that bullied Lucia, so I asked her

She earing a niceto a powerful business in an excellent environment Because of that I came to speak to you, and so have come to visit」

「H this year I was asked by the country to conduct a secret investigation of you」

「S, secret investigation?! And, for a year?! That's stupid… 」

「Heh heh, have you seen this face anywhere before?」

「Wha?!」

As she said that her face changed to soed to the face of a cleaning lady I had seen often at the school

「It's an illusion Because a beast-wo the body, the secretness of this technique that I use is genuine」

She released the illusion and her face returned

「And, the result of the investigation was that there's a proble that will involve itself with her from now」

「?! W…what? What do you mean involve itself?」

「…here are the visual records of the investigation Please look」

Minnalis took out a vision crystal

Even though I was greatly surprised, I still looked at the vision crystal that she showedat Keril with those enchanting eyes!』

『Hey, my close friend Katrea can use her upper-class connections, you know』

『I don't have to tell you ill happen then, do I?』

There was a weeping acquaintance and Lucia, as threatening her

「W…what is this?」

「There are other one's too Here, and this, and this too」

I was stunned by all the ies I saw

「This…Lucia…no way! I don't believe it…」

Bright, kind, healthy, childish, attractive girl

But in the ies she was a cruel woman I never knew

…I saw a Lucia that I had never seen before

「Here's the food」

As the food was brought to the table, Minnalis put away the crystal

「These i the arizes before an authority, this will be treated as a private nizes it as acold?」

「Oh, yes…uh…」

I reached out and took the soup in front of h it was in my mouth, the food had no taste

「I see, in other words, Minnalis, you want et Lucia to reform?」

「…」

「Just leave Lucia to s over, can ht!」

「One line from 『Tales of the Hero of the Dawn』」

「Yes, people change, and grow, I believe it」

Yeah, if Lucia really did so like that, then I can correct it

Defeat the evil and return those that have lost their path to the right one It's so I have to do

Yes, I…

「People change…grow…right?」

「?!」

It felt like soue

The odd feeling of so from my instincts made me jump from my chair

「Kuhuh, Kuhuheh heh, Ahah, Ahah hah hah hah hah!!」

An echoing dark laugh

So deep that it made you sink no matter how far you stretched your arms

「Min…Min…nalis?」

「CHANGE? GROW? Hah, even though you haven't changed a bit! Heh, hahahhah!」

「What are you…?」

A cold sweat broke out at seeing Minnalis change like this

Even though o of the hing alone, she suddenly stopped, and said it again in an echoing voice

「Really, not one thing, not one has changed since then…even though no one cares about what's right, and it doesn't row!」

「Why do you say that all the sudden! I…!!」

I felt a bad premonition co what she wanted to

「And so, why is the first thing you said was 『I'll help reforht『There's no way Lucia would do that』 or 『I need to see the proof before I believe it』, I mean, you were only shown a display crystal that anyone could make…」

「What? So you fooled me?!」

「I didn't try to fool you, this really did happen But, Keril You couldn't care less, right?」

Minnalis spun her words lightly, like the breeze

Al pleasure in my reaction, her smile turned up as she looked atthis!」

「You wanted to be a hero, and if you think about defeating what's evil, that really has nothing to do with evil, right? You were so quick to accept what Lucia did as evil without any proof」

Her taunting words see that!」

「When did you suddenly, withoutevil anyway? What is evil really? Is punishi+ng evil, without even checking to see the truth in it, is fun for you somehow? …you really are the worst」

She looked down on

—When I was there, did you throw a rock at soust

「Shut upppppp!!」
