?Are you sure that someone saw a man whose features resembled Bosgin in the city??

?Yeah! For some reason, that big guy seems to be staying in this city instead of leaving after he retrieved ?Red Authority Cane?.?

After hunting down the remaining members of ?Blood Cup? in the magic city, for some reason, I… Reunited with Bennet, the knight and decided to move with him.

After Bennet nursed Noel and his other comrade, he sent them to the shelter and looked for me with the information about Bosgin.

?… So, why are you looking for me instead of going there by yourself??

When I glared at him while asking, Bennet seized my arm with a hearty smile on his face.

?P-Please don’t be so cruel, Kanata. Can you let go of the old grudge back then already??

?Stop clinging at me like that.?

Bennet then let go of my arm, his face then turned from a smile full of flattery to serious one.

?The truth is… Bosgin isn’t something that both Noel and I can handle, even if he fights us with handicap. I mean, even if I’m like this, I don’t want to be ashamed of my own knight’s code. But, I’m not a reckless and selfish person either, charging straight at Bosgin without any plan will only add to the number of victims. At the same time, our honor is equally important. That’s why we need to at least show that we have a way to protect the citizens of the kingdom. We basically have to protect both our honor and the kingdom, not the other way around.?

Bennet spoke with a vexed tone.

?Bosgin strength is on a whole nother level, not to mention that he is a mysterious person. He’s different from his A-rank adventurer subordinate who loves money. He was regarded by his comrades, which consisted of numerous maniacal murderers, as brave. Bosgin led those maniacal murderers with pure violence. Bosgin has to be killed right now. Defeating that guy who has killed more than a thousand people means that we can save tens of thousands of people that will become his victims in the future. ?

Bennet spoke with an extremely passionate voice.

My first impression of him was a frivolous and dissappointing knight with a shallow personality but, I guess I could trust his remark just now.

?… Sorry Bennet-san, sorry for speaking such absurdly malicious remark before the crisis of the city.?

?Moreover, this is the last chance to retrieve ?Red Authority Cane?! I thought it’s already too late, but it’s a good thing that Bosgin hasn’t left the city, meaning that ?Red Authority Cane? is still in this city! I must get it back no matter what, otherwise my house, my family’s honor, my era will be shred to pieces! I don’t know what kind of face my father going to make once he know about that!?

I massaged my temple, trying my best to suppress the irritation within me.

So protecting his family honor was more important than protecting the kingdom eh, he even sounds more passionate than before.

?But… To be honest, I’m curious about the reason why Bosgin is still in this city? Bosgin’s aim was the ?Red Authority Cane?, as the one who got robbed by them, you should understand that the best right??

?I’m also wondering about that… But, something even more dangerous might be moving behind the action ?Blood Cup?. That might be the reason for Bosgin to change his plan.?

?Dangerous… Fellas??

Bennet nodded upon hearing me.

?I heard about this when I entrusted Noel to the shelter, they say that someone whose appearance resembled the leader of ?Black Reaper?, Lovis seems to be wandering around the city.?

??Black Reaper?… Lovis… Is it??

I touched my chin, pondering for a while upon hearing that.

The first thing that appeared in my mind was Lovis’ figure when he prostated in front of me.

I frowned upon remembering that.

?Seriously, you don’t even know about Lovis? That man is a dangerous berserker. Though the scale of the damage caused by him is smaller than ?Blood Cup?, many knights regarded him as a more dangerous individual. He’s someone who has been rampaging from when he’s still puny little criminal up till this point after all.?

?Well… I actually know about him though…?

?Lovis might’ve anticipated Bosgin plan and want to steal ?Red Authority Cane? for himself. I think the reason why Bosgin doesn’t leave this city is to prepare for a clash against Lovis. Though I can’t be more grateful if they crushed each other… The problem is if the ?Red Authority Cane? fell in Lovis’ hand.?

?… What make you feel that way??

?Lovis’ action is completely unpredictable. He’s not chasing after something as easy as profit. He’s a criminal among criminals, outlaw among outlaws, someone who follows his own rules which we have no idea about. If someone like him gets the cane… Retrieving it is close to impossible.?

?Haah… I think he’ll return the cane if I ask him to do so…?

?This isn’t the situation for that kind of joke, Kanata.?

Bennet went to a nearby building.

Its roof was broken, leaving behind a huge hole.

This particular building collapsed like no other.

?Bosgin should be heading toward this direction.?

?There’s traces of fighting in that building. Let’s take a look a little bit.?

Bennet and I exchanged glances, nodded, and headed toward the building.

?Dammit, even the door is stuck.?

Bennet grumbled as he tried to open the door.

I kicked the wall beside the door, creating a big open hole enough for us.

?Let’s go. We mustn’t waste our time in this place since we have other place to visit too.?

?… Ah, you’re right.?

Bennet nodded and then followed after me.

I saw a giant fall on his own pool of blood within the collapsed building.

His neck was twisted to an impossible angle, no doubt about it, he was already dead.

Bennet was really dumbfounded upon seeing that corpse.

?Bennet-san, this is…?

?Y-Yes… The leader of ?Blood Cup?, Bosgin. But, how… Did he die in this place? Did he fight to death against Lovis in this place…?

Bennet spoke with a timid voice.

?Oh my… It seems we got some visitors.?

A tall man appeared from the shadows.

Bennet raised his sword in hurry but then, the sword suddenly fell from his hand the moment he saw the other party.

Because the other party was also clad in a blue armor with golden ornament just like him.

Rather, the other party’s armor looks more gorgeous than Bennet’s armor.

He was a tall, blonde haired man with a wild beard.

?G-Garan… Sama!?

Bennet spoke of that name with a dumbfounded look on his face.

?Ooh, long time no see, Bennet! Hahaha, I’ve been expecting a knight when I saw that armor but, it turned out to be you, how I missed you all this time! Looking good on that armor eh??

The man called Garan raised his hand as he spoke to Bennet with a familiar tone.

?N-No, I still have much to learn…!?

?Is he your acquaintance??

Bennet nodded to answer my question.

Though Garan seems delighted, Bennet looks anxious for some reason.

?Ah… You can say that but, something feels off.?

Bennet added in a small voice.

?Knight among knights… The holder of the ?Hundred Monster? title. If it’s him, I’ve no doubt that he can defeat Bosgin in one on one. But…?

?But…??

?That person… Garan-sama went MIA three years ago. Since there’s no eyewitness of his disappearance, we assumed that he had already died but…?

I felt that Bennet was more troubled by this situation rather than feeling delighted.

I also felt that something feels off about Garan’s appearance.

I looked at Garan again.

Garan still waved his hand at us with a smile on his face.

But, I couldn’t help but to feel that smile was too eerie.
