Hm, you seem more capable than those other two.

L-Lord Owen... What is...

I decided to retrain you, as you are all nothing but cowards.

After coming to Ishgria, you have defeated naught but one demon.

You should be grateful. Not many get the opportunity to train with me.

Grateful?!

How are we supposed to be grateful towards someone who attacks us as soon as we meet!

That's right!

We can't handle you suddenly appearing and attacking us, Lord Owen!

Oh ho... So you think I was serious this time?

N-No...

A-Anyway, it's a good thing that you're safe.

I heard from Lord Grahdens that you had been missing.

Something happened between you and a demon named Shusui, didn't it?

The demon that ran away mid-battle?

Ran away?

Shusui does not seem to be the type to run away, but...

Could he really have been that afraid of you?

......

Hm, I can tell you nothing about an opponent that chooses to flee instead of fight.

However, I'll grant they must have some power if they can escape from me.

Regardless, that Grahdens says ridiculous things.

He has no reason to worry about me.

Y-Yes sir...

(I wonder how old Lord Owen and Lord Grahdens are...)

Seria, Lugina, Paris, and you, Hans.

I have a mission for you all.

Defeat the demon of this land.

That was our plan from the start.

Hm, that's quite the thing to say, for someone who has yet to slay a demon.

Th-That...

I was planning on taking a different path from you all to destroy the demons, but I have changed my mind.

If you are incapable of defeating the demon who rules this land, then I shall send you back and defeat them all myself.

What?!

I have other reasons for being here...

If you are incapable of slaying a demon, do you think you'll be of any use in this wretched place?

Argh...

Quit your loitering. Now, go!

I am not one to wait around patiently. You are well aware of this, I assume?

......

Hey, you guys! Hurry up and let's go!

B-But where is the demon...

That giant flower looks suspicious! Let's check that out first!

We don't have time to be wasting around!

I agree with Lugina.

Paris, Hans, let's go.

O-Okay, I got it... But I would really like to know what really happened once things calm down...

Let's go, Hans...

Hm, so they've gone.

......

Grahdens, you are far too lenient.

......

But it matters not. I shall simply accomplish my own goals.
