"Let me go! What do you think you're doing!?"

"Miss Évreux, we must take you to safety."

 "I'm not going anywhere! Stop!"

Eri resisted with every strength she had. She screamed and resisted, but proved no help.

A band of soldiers restrained her and led her away on a horse.


Knock Knock

"Sir Évreux, we've brought her."

"Come in at once!"

They brought her in, a poor girl bound on ropes, filled with dried bitter tears. 

Shocked, his voice saturated with anger.

"What the meaning of this!"

"Please forgive us, but Miss Eri was actively trying to run away from us..."

"That can't be! Eri is this true?"

"Let me go."

"Sir, the kidnapper has already been brought to the coliseum for an execution."

"I'll be there in a moment, but I must have a talk with Eri."

"Understood," they stepped aside, guarding the room.

"Eri, are you okay? Has the kidnapper done anything to you?"

Her eyes widened as she followed the word "kidnapper."

"Kidnapper? What do you mean...?"

"The man who kidnapped you."

"What are you talking about?"

"You were kidnapped were you not? By Seo-jun Kim?"

Brain flipped upside down, she cried, "HE'S NOT A KIDNAPPER!"

"Then where were you all these times!?"

"Father! I ran away from home!"

Speechless, he stood there in shock.

"What do you mean he's getting executed!? Father, what's going on!?"

"It seems like the kidnapper put some kind of brainwash magic on you."

"WHAT!?"

He called in the soldiers.

"Take her to the seat next to me. I'll be right there."

"Yes sir."


My conscious returned to a crowd of people filling the seats of the Coliseum. Yelling, chanting. 

Shackles bounded me to a wooden board.

I'm fucked... 

"Now we shall start with reading off the list of crimes this man committed!"

A man beside me unrolled a piece of paper and started reading,

"He is responsible for deaths of 3 nobles: Barrett Harman, Michele Langlois, and Liana Faucher. Kidnapped the 3rd daughter of Évreux family and brainwashed her to use her at his convenience."

A gasp filled the crowd as he read them aloud.

"KILL HIM!"

"EXECUTE HIM! TAKE HIS HEAD!"

When the fuck did I kidnap her... Oh boy... Apparently I killed some people too... 

Negative emotions filled with disgust and killing intent breezed towards me as the crowd fired up more.

I saw Eri in the distance fighting the guards holding her down.

"NO! STOP! He's INNOCENT! He DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. STOP! PLEASE, Dad HE's DONE NOTHING WRONG! STOP THIS AT ONCE!"

"Now the execution of the criminal will carry out!"

Awe man, I want my rights to trials shit back... I guess this is the dead-end, I had a long run...

A man behind me grabbed my neck and placed it on the chopping block.

My eyes and Eri's met. She was insisting on futile resistance.

"Now let us hear his last words!"

Fuck it.

"Men...Menu!"

The menu flung open, lighting up the eyes of the people around me.

時間加速! (Jikan Kasoku) Time Acceleration!

Mother fucker. I'm actually fucked...

"Quickly strike him down!"

The executioner ax came down as fast as I closed my eyes.

Eri I'm sorry... I...

A scream of agony echoed throughout the entire Coliseum. 

A bright, blinding flash clouded my eyes. I was not able to hear anything but ringings of my ears. 

What the fuck just happened.

When I came back to my senses. I only saw destruction and blood.

What... the...

People, with their upper bodies missing. Limbs on the floor. Walls painted with blood.

In the midst of all the chaos, I saw her. With new hair color, jet black.

My eyes slowly closed as she walked away from the scene.

Ah for fuck sakes... not again... fuck...
