892 890 Preware Screams (2/2)
Sophie seems a little overwhelmed, but Fran answers as usual.
Extra?
”Don't spread information that could disrupt adventurers!Spill the seeds of discord in this time of crisis!The adventurers won't be able to fight with confidence because of you! ”
”I apologize for the disturbance.But I couldn't leave Phillia running. ”
”I knew it! For me, the uninterrupted survival of this city is our top priority!”
”But Philia was trying to catch Gazzool and turn him into a dark slave!There were other weird experiments! ”
”What's the matter! Don't jeopardize this city with a sense of justice!”
Fran frowned at Preal's shout.It's not just noisy.I wonder if it caught my nasty part.
”Philia was trying to make Gazzol a dark slave.There must be other victims. ”
For Fran, connections with dark slavers were more important than cloning experiments.Unforgivable things burn in anger.
But it won't reach Preal.
”Say it again? What's the matter?Given the Doctor's influence, that power was essential to this city!Keep your eyes shut for some evil!That will protect the city! ”
”A little evil?”
”Dark slaves are everywhere!Whatever you complain about, you can't live in this city! ”
Preware shouted at the crossroads, but Fran shouted back at Preware with more killing and shouting.
”Dark slavers will not be forgiven!For whatever reason! Absolutely! ”
”Well, then what were we going to do!Are you going to say impractical things like finding and judging each and every one of those involved in black slavery? ”
”Nh! I'll do it if I have to. Find them all and crush them.”
”... why are you so hostile to the Dark Slaver?Because you're a black cat?To protect my people? ”
That's what it is.
”That's good! But I won't let you do anything at the end of the day.We'll see. I told you what it was, because it was someone else! ”
Without asking for more information, I found out that Preware had been betrayed by his clan in the past.As Fran glances back, Preware sighs.
”Decades ago. He was in the kingdom of the beasts.”
Based in a town where many Shepherds lived, it seems that they gathered a reputation as a Rank B adventurer.
One day, a stampede occurs.It was Preal who led the Adventurer into the defense battle, but the small town was unsuitable for defense.
After all, Preware decided to leave town, but many adventurers did not follow his words.The bloodthirsty beasts couldn't accept a retreat.
The force will be dispersed in chaos, causing significant damage to both sides of the force.And it seems that Preware has taken responsibility for it.
The beasts who stormed in disregard of the orders said they were cowards, and the beasts of the retreating troops said they had made a mistake in the operation.
”The damage was kept to a minimum if you obeyed the orders of the King!And why should they be held responsible for the idiots' rampage! ”
After all, it seems that Preal has become more difficult to stay in the Beast kingdom and has flown to this continent.
”My clans, don't cover for me...No, they were the ones who were the hardest hit.You're disgracing my people! What should I have done! ”
Preware, who had finished talking about his past for a long time, dropped his back on the chair in front of him.The word pity suits you very well.This old man must have struggled too.
”You'll betray me anyway.”
Deep down in that crouched voice, ”Betray me!I felt like there was a faint desire.
”You still don't know.I won't say anything bad. Don't go down. Drop the communal consciousness.No one can thank you for hunting the Dark Slaver.That's necessary evil. Dark slaves are a necessary sacrifice.The saved Black Cats will be delighted on the surface, but only on the upper side.You'll soon forget. ”
The adhesive voice of Preal converges on Fran.It's as if he's trying to break Fran's heart.
No, I suppose so.I want to break Fran's heart and make it easier to listen to myself.To become a defensive force in this city.
If you think so, the madness and pathetic attitude that we have just seen.It seemed to me that all the words that advised me against fainting eyes were acts.
It is only natural, then, that the word will not reach Fran.For Fran, he only looks like a weird old man, flushing out words.
Fran stared at Preal.Pressured by the gaze, Preware's eyes shake.Then I heard the next word and found myself breathing.
”... I was a dark slave.”
