"Miss Suzuki, are you kidding? Does he look exactly like that enemy? ”

"Have you been brainwashed too?"

"I'm serious about saying, if you don't believe it, just stay around."

Really, I didn't believe what I said.

"He's a little bit better...... Who...... Yes? ”

I was just about to ask Bruz when I felt my neck be strangled.

Damn, didn't you say it would be fine? How did you start attacking so quickly......

But I saw that it wasn't another Bruzz that strangled me, but - Hinako.

"Hinako, are you crazy? What are you doing? Let go of me! ”

She couldn't be possessed, right?

But I used the purification skill on her again, but she kept strangling me.

Seeing that her mouth keeps opening and closing, is she trying to say something?

Let's undo the silence spell for her.

“…… Is it the captain that you do every time you make me speechless? …… Eh, there's a voice! Sure enough, it's you, the captain! ”

"Hurry up and let me go."

"I won't let it go! Unless you promise me not to use this magic on me again! Otherwise, I won't let go if I am killed! ”

Troublesome guys......

Just casually promise her first, and then talk about it later......

"Okay, I promise you."

"Really?"

"Really."

"That's... I'll let you go... Huh? ”

Why are you so scared? I won't take revenge on you.

"Hurry up."

After Hinako let me go, she immediately hid behind Hoshino.

"What are you doing?"

"Won't the captain take revenge on me?"

I'm really thinking about this.

"No, I'm very generous."

However, Hinako didn't believe my words, and still hid behind Hoshino and didn't come out.

Leave her alone for now.

"Bruce, how's it doing?"

"I said it was Bruce, not Bruce!"

"Good, good, good, Bruce."

“…… You guy! It's almost ready, let's talk to it again. ”

"Hmm."

The other Bruz looked like he had recovered quite a bit, but he was still kneeling at the tombstone.

Could it be—

It's next to Chris's tombstone.

However, the tombstone was affected by magic and was blown into several pieces.

"Is it okay?"

“…… It's sad. ”

"Sorry......"

If we hadn't been here, none of this would have happened......

I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart.

"It's not your fault."

"Hey, can you hear me?"

"You...... Invade...... He who... Kill... Kill! ”

"We're here to help you."

"Help ......?"

The other Bruce tilted his head to look at me.

It's kind of funny.

"Yes, you can tell me your troubles, and I'm willing to help you solve them."

"My ...... Vexation? …… I want ...... Revenge! ”

"Revenge? Did someone frame you? ”

"Luo ...... Gram...... He ......"

"Locke? Who is it? ”

"Kill! …… Kill! ”

It's over, and it's in a state of madness again......

I had to go to this guy named Locke.

"Bruce, do you know this guy named Locke?"

"I don't know ......"

"I'll ask them."

"Wait......"

"What's wrong?"

"Thank you."

"Why are you still talking about this, don't think about it so much."

"Thank you so much!"

Bruce's sudden kneeling caught me off guard.

"What are you doing, get up."

I quickly helped Bruz up.

"Thank you for your willingness to help someone I don't know."

"No more thanks, let's hurry up and find out this guy named Locke."

"That's what I said......"

I went back to where Hoshino and the others were.

"You know a guy named Locke?"

"I don't know."

"Locke? I remember...... The new warden was named Locke. ”

"What?"

If that's the case –

Hum! I've deduced the truth of the whole thing!

It must have been Locke who devised a prisoner riot in order to gain the power of the prison warden, and brutally murdered Bruzz! After that, he successfully sat on the throne of the prison warden.

Yes, it must be.

I can't help but admire my reasoning skills a little.

Maybe I'm better suited to be a detective.

"I remembered that shortly after the death of the previous warden, the new warden's name was Locke."

Hauna said it once just now, so I don't need you to repeat it.

"Then let's get here today, and we'll investigate this guy named Locke early tomorrow morning."

It's getting late, so I've decided to call it a day and resume tomorrow.

"Captain, don't you want your million?"

"yes, but it's not a few days."

How did I forget about this......

Damn, it's hard to choose!

A million gold coins on one side and friendship on the other? No, sympathy? Nor is it ...... It's justice!

Then my choice is clear.

"I don't want a million anymore, nothing is more important than justice."

"It's a little hard to believe that from the captain's mouth."

"It must be because I can't catch up with the top people in the rest of the time, so I have to give up."

"That's it."

Their words were plunged into my chest like a sword.

Well, I'll admit, they're right.

I gave up because I knew I wouldn't get the bounty, not because of justice.

"Ahem...... That's not what I thought! I'm leaving, and I'll have action tomorrow. ”

In order to maintain the noble image of my captain, some white lies must be present.

"Huh? The captain is on the run? ”

Just talk a lot!

Silent!

Well, I can't hear Hinako again.

"Nana, take care of her."

"Understood."

Hinako, who had just pounced, was hugged by Nana.

She struggled desperately, but she couldn't break free from Nana's shackles.

Well done Nana!

"Bruce, then I'll come back to you tomorrow."

"Hmm. Let me send you all out first. ”

"Don't bother, just tell me which direction to go."

"This is a space created by me, and you can't get out without my guidance."

"I see."

A lot of things made sense before that.

Led by Bruz, we came to the entrance of the cemetery.

"This is it, a few more steps further and you can get out. I can't get out of here, so I'll have to send you here. ”

"That's enough, thank you."

"I'll be here for you."

"Well, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye to Bruz, we went back to the house.

"I'm so tired......"

With so much going on today, I feel deeply exhausted.

"Captain, you're using magic on me again!"
