It's safe to say that the man on the running committee of the competition was the worst of his luck.
　I was walking around looking for a colleague who had disappeared before I knew it, when I heard a sudden noise.
　It wasn't just a sound, it was a sound of destruction, as if someone... or something were going wild.
　We approach the noisy room, thinking that if something goes wrong, we'll be in trouble later.
　I knew, of course, that the room was used as a waiting room for players, as I was working on the steering committee of the competition.
　I wonder if the player who lost the game is taking it out on him... if you think about it further, maybe a colleague who doesn't see him is involved in it.
　With that in mind, I turned up in the waiting room, and what was happening there was far beyond the man's expectations.
　I saw a colleague I was looking for wielding a dagger to a man... attacking a crimson ray, who in many ways stood out in this competition.
　and Ray was glad to see such a man show up, and he shook his scythe and beat Liloney, asking if he would take him back with a sealed hand.

"What!? What's going on? Why is Liloney attacking you?"

　For a moment, Ray doubted that he had made a quarrel with Liloney, but he quickly denies it. 　
　This is because Liloney unilaterally attacked Ray and Ray himself was devoted to defense.
　though he had struck me with a death-size stone-butt in his communication after he had appeared.
　And above all, the man had something to ask Ray.

"And what the hell does brainwashing mean!"
"That's the exact meaning. ... just don't move."

　Stomping on his back, he struck Liloney's hand with a death-size stonemate... more precisely, he hit the hand holding the dagger, and he flung the dagger away.

"After consultation with the management committee, the use of the whip has become impossible. Do you know that if you break this, you will be disqualified?"
"... Hey, Liloney? What are you talking about in this situation?"

　I can't make out what my colleague is saying. That's how he asks, but Ray shakes his head at the remark.

"No use. I told you that this man named Liloney is brainwashed. You probably don't even understand what you're talking about."
"Brainwashing... What do you want me to do?"

　a bewildered look at Ray
　That's only natural. As long as I'm on the steering committee of a competition, I'm more used to rough things than the average person.
　However, they are only more familiar than ordinary people and cannot be compared to the players who participate in the competition.
　The sight of such a man lying on the floor and his colleagues attacking him in the waiting room, saying nonsense, would be a matter of confusion.
　But... Ray opens his mouth to such a man without mercy.

"If you don't accept it, I'll kill you. Testify that you had no choice but to kill me."
"Wait! Wait!"

　A man who immediately screams at Ray when he says he will kill him easily.
　That's because the words that Ray uttered never seemed to be used in jest or expediency.
　Above all, the evidence is that there are many dead bodies lying on the ground.
　If things go on like this, my colleague will be killed. Ray asks the man who immediately screams at such a decision.

"Then decide what to do," I'm holding it back, but it's quite a force, you know."

　Ray's face, telling him so, doesn't have a particularly painful expression on it.
　But that's because of Ray, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to hold back the lilones of today.
　It has the power of a person who is adjusted as a doll.

"...okay, then can you stay a little longer?" I'll call in my superiors at once. It's too big for me to judge."

　It's true that you don't want to make the decision to kill people.
　While understanding it, Ray has no choice but to nod.
　It was obvious that we couldn't ignore the man's words here and kill Liloney.
　As a result, we breathe out a little and accept what the man says.

"All right, but I'm trying to get my own life. Please bring me here as soon as possible before this man, Liloney, takes any more strange actions."
"In a minute... I'll be back in no time! So, don't ever kill me!"

　A man who screams and leaves in a hurry.
　Seeing such a man off, Ray turns his eyes to the liloney he is stepping on.

"I'm blessed with a colleague,"
"""Regarding the foul play, I am sure you have explained it in advance, so please check it out." In particular, the use of demons and Summoning magic is strictly prohibited, and if you use it, you will be disqualified...and in some cases you may be punished."

　Liloney mumbled as usual, moving his body to escape from Ray's feet.
　Violence is stronger than normal human beings because it is strengthened. Still, after all, it's no different from normal human beings, and it's impossible to escape Ray's footsteps.
　It was also fortunate that he had only one dagger thrown away by Ray.
　Eventually, he must have decided that just being violent under his feet would be the only way he could do. Liloney moves and tries to escape by shifting the center of gravity of Ray's feet.

"It's troublesome that personalities and memories are played about in many ways, and that judgment itself has not been lost."

　Ray can't afford to miss such behavior, and he changes the position of the center of gravity to which he steps as Lillonay moves.
　a few minutes later, and then again the footsteps
　This time, however, it is more than one person.

(I wouldn't laugh if this were actually the bell-boys of repose of souls.)

　That's how Ray thinks, but still, just in case, he puts a lot of effort into his hands holding the death size.
　It would be very unlikely under normal circumstances, but if I were to say that, it would have been unexpected that Liloney, who was moving under his feet, was transformed into a doll in the first place.
　Fortunately, however, the abnormality did not appear to have been applied this time.

"Are you still alive?"

　It was the man I mentioned that showed up.
　There were several other figures behind them, and there was no doubt that they were the men's companions.
　One of them, an elderly man in his fifties, stepped forward and spoke.

"She's their boss, and she's Asha." ... crimson, no, Ray. I heard from Il-Sibel that Lillonay was being manipulated by somebody... is it true?"
"Manipulate... I see. Well, I guess I can't say that. Why don't you ask yourself?"

　Ray turns his eyes to Liloney, who is still scratching algae under his feet.
　Fortunately, he's captured like a doll he fought for, but he doesn't seem to lose consciousness.
　Is it because this situation is not judged to be in captivity, or does it have anything to do with being a member of the organizing committee of a competition? Ray didn't know about it, but he still didn't lose consciousness, so he thought he should be lucky.

"... Lilonay, do you hear the voice of the eagle?"

　Asha speaks to Rironay, recalling what she had heard from Irsibel who came to call her.

"You can use magic freely, but don't forget that killing someone will result in a foul."
"Liloney? Hey, Liloney." Don't you hear the words of 儂?""If you don't even die, you'll recover if you get off the stage. So please fight with peace of mind."
"... Liloney..."

　a muttering Asha
　I don't think I've ever felt so frightened that the conversation didn't mesh. The cheeks are slightly twitching.
　At such an Asha's discretion, Ray opens his mouth, thinking that it's enough.

"As you can see. Now, I think you understand the situation... what are you going to do with this?"
"... before that, may I ask you why this has happened?"
"It's the work of the bell of repose which is aiming at me,"

　The simple mention of the name leaves Asha completely blank in her mind.
　It was the same with Ilsibel, or with others who came with Asha.
　The Bell of Souls. Its name is to be described with such awe in the Empire of Bestia.
　Still working in the arena for a long time, Asha manages to speak back to herself.

"Really? That the bell of repose is aimed at the Lord."
"Oh. If you live in this country, you know, but I had a lot of things with this country in the spring."

　The words sharpen the eyes of several people except Ilsibel and Asha.
　Ray thought someone had probably died in the spring war, but as long as it was a war, there was a good chance of each other dying.
　Knowing that, I volunteered to join the army, and I honestly felt that I should not be blamed there.
　However, it was not impossible to understand that he understood it and still had a grudge against himself.
　Anyway, Ray decides that it's a waste of time to talk about it here, so he goes back quickly.

"So it seems that some of the bells of repose of souls are brainwashing people or manipulating them accordingly as they wish. And I think this fellow, Liloney, has done something to him."

　Asha's face frowns uncomfortably at the words.
　But it's not against Ray. It is against the bell of repose of the soul that has caused his men to suffer this way.

"Is Lilonay... back to normal?"
"What do you think?" I've heard that the guy who attacked the inn I stayed in before passed out after being caught. I left the city right after that, so I don't know what happened."

　Ray answered so, but he expected that he would probably not wake up.
　But this is purely akin to Ray's intuition, and there is no conclusive evidence.
　That's why I tell you so.
　Hope is absolutely necessary.

"So what will happen to him in the end? From what he said, we can think that he's going to help us."
"Well, I can't forsake my subordinates who have been with me for many years. I'll pick it up here. hand over to the security forces"

　Ray tells Asha to confirm with a painful look on her face.

"I'll tell you, this is the only time I've handed it over to you." The next time he attacks me, I'll give him a reasonable response. and if you don't want him to, you'll never let him go."

　Tell him so, and at Asha's sign, the other management members approach him, make sure to hold back Liloney, and then let go of his stomping feet.
　Moment...

It is a violation of the established law and a foul.'

　Suddenly, Liloney starts to go on a rampage with a loud voice.

"Wow!"
"d*mn it! He's strong!"
"Hey, Liloney, get it together!"
"Ugh,"

　Those holding Lilonay's limbs speak to each other.
　Still, since it was a four-person ride, he managed to restrain his limbs and carry them out of the waiting room, albeyond the waiting room.
　Watching it, Ray turns to Asha, who looks depressed.
　You don't want to believe that your men have come to this end.
　Thinking this way, Ray opens his mouth, storing his death size in a mistling.

"Then may I leave it to you?"
"... well. I've caused you trouble this time."

　After a brief conversation, Ray had left the waiting room, which would be useless while the competition was already under way.





"Gutting... Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
"Sistoy, I'll draw a dagger. And this is an antidote."

　One of the strongholds of Moura and Sistoy in the imperial capital, the two were quickly treating their wounds.
　Originally, the poison of a dagger stabbed in a cistoy would immediately kill the opponent, but fortunately, he was drinking a potion that would disable poison and paralysis to some extent before work, so he was able to join Moura after escaping from the waiting room, and thus receive treatment for the wound.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh..."

　The reason why the alchemists of the bell of repose of souls are suffering so much even after drinking the potions, which are anti-poison and paralysed by the alchemists is because the poison was so strong.

"But I was able to survive. -- whatever I may do from now on, I'll just have to heal my wound."

　muttering, Moura continues to treat Sistoy.
