\text("Margaretta")
Ah...!
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
Impossible... Impossible! Damn it, how... how could
something like this happen...!
\endtext

\text("Noro")
I'll catch you...!
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
No, stay away!
\endtext

\text("Soldier")
Whoa!?
\endtext

\text("Noro")
Oof
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
Shit, shit...!
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
That bastard... Did he run off and leave us behind...?
\endtext

\text("Soldier")
No way...
\endtext

\text("Caym")
I won't allow it. Kill that pig. Don't let him escape.

\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Caym-sama, that's...
\endtext

\text("Caym")
You told me yourself, didn't you? That man is the one who
created the slave system.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Think about the people behind him, too. If we let him live
and go back, he'll become a poison that will destroy Hados
someday.
\endtext

\text
Therefore, that man must be eliminated.
\endtext

\text
This is a different situation, and a different opponent,
than with Dakken.
\endtext

\text("Agri")
I'm going too. I don't trust just those guys to handle it.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
No need to worry. Agri, you go with Spacchio and the others
to take control of the barracks and city hall. Risbell,
you're with me.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Yes!
\endtext

\text
With Risbell in tow, Caym also went after Giacomo.

\endtext

\text
At that moment, he caught sight of the soldiers, bewildered
as they were tended to by monsters.
\endtext

\text
Margaretta was nowhere to be seen among them.
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
Hah... hah... If I can just get this far...!
\endtext

\text
Shaking off the monsters, Giacomo made his escape.
\endtext

\text
They have a keen sense of smell. I have to get on a horse
and get far away, fast.
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
That little bitch... After all she said! My city... my
country... I won't forgive this...
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
I'll definitely get my revenge... I still have power left...
If I borrow their strength...
\endtext

\text("？？？")
Are you talking about the bureaucrats from Shuka?
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
You...!
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
Or is it Vexation? Well, it doesn't really matter either
way.
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
Shut up, shut up, shut up! This wasn't the deal!! You said
it yourself! That you could kill that fake Demon Lord!
That's why I...
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
Hii!? G-get out of my way!
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
............
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
Kill those monsters! You can at least do that much to
protect me! Got it? That's an order!
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
...I can't obey that.
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
Wha... y-you bastard! What the hell are you doing!?

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
You are the king of this city... The one who should protect
the people and bear responsibility for your soldiers' lives.
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
And yet, you try to escape using your soldiers as shields?
What kind of king does that?
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
Ugh... Move! Get out of my way! If you don't, they'll...!

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
I'm not one to talk, but you have no right to call yourself
king.
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
A king who loses a war has a responsibility to fulfill.

\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
Huh...?
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
Gyaaaaaaah!? My legs... my legs!!

\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
Y-you...! How dare you do this to me... to me!

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
...Hmm, finally here, are you.
\endtext

\text("Noro")
...?
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
H-hii...!?
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
I have no intention of carrying the burden of a man like
this. He's yours. Do as you please.
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
N-no way... Hey, wait, wait! I'll pay you as much as you
want! Just help me!

\endtext

\text("Noro")
Demon Lord's orders... You die!
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
Hii, ah... Stay away! Stay away!
\endtext

\text("Giacomo")
Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!
\endtext

\text
The monsters showed no mercy, tearing Giacomo's flesh and
crushing his bones.
\endtext

\text
Just as those who start wars must bear responsibility,
\endtext

\text
those who lose must also face theirs.
\endtext

\text
There is no forgiveness for running away.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
Hmm, so it was here after all.
\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
...Caym. What happened to Giacomo's soldiers?
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Don't worry. We're treating them over here.

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
Treating them? The enemy soldiers?
\endtext

\text("Caym")
What you do to them is up to the victor. That goes for you
too.

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
I see... It can't be helped. I'm a mercenary, after all. I
never expected to be treated as a prisoner. Do as you like.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
I see. In that case, let's get started...
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Caym-sama, please allow me to decide her fate.

\endtext

\text("Caym")
...Fine. As long as I can make her mine, that's good enough
for me.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
Then, she will join the Demon Lord's army as well.

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
...You're hiring me?
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
We have people who can command monsters, but no one to lead
the human soldiers.
\endtext

\text("Risbell")
...Besides, as much as it annoys me, Caym-sama seems to have
taken a liking to you.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
That's right. Risbell says we need you too. So come. Refusal
is not an option.

\endtext

\text("Margaretta")
...Not that I could refuse, I already told you to do as you
please. I have no reason to say no.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
It's settled then. Now, hurry up and get your wounds
treated.
\endtext

\text("Caym")
We're heading to the city hall. I'm going to declare the
restoration of Hados.
\endtext

\text
――And so, that very day, Rospenn was occupied by the Demon
Lord's army...
\endtext

\text
The restoration of Hados was triumphantly declared by Caym.

\endtext
