113 Fourteen, the night before revenge, one.

That night.

"My revenge is almost over."

I told Shea and Yulin once again.

This is an inn close to the Rufus Empire.

Tomorrow's ceremony was scheduled to take place about thirty minutes on foot from here.

Exactly a battle posture.

There was just something I wanted to check again before the decision was made.

It's how Shea and Yurin feel.

"You've come this far with me, and I sincerely thank you"

I bow my head deeply to both of you.

"There were occasions when I was helped."

"No... I just wanted to return the favor I received from Master Chrome. You took my sister's revenge and saved my dignity and my own soul."

Shea took my hand.

"Me too, because you saved my life. This life is yours, Master Chrome."

Yurin says respectfully.

"You two are my [subordinates]. But I don't want Shea and the others tied up about it."

I smile at them.

There may be a little bit of gibberish, but compared to where I started my journey of revenge, I feel I can now have a much more natural grin.

Thanks to Shea and Yurin.

My involvement with the two of them melted my mind somewhat, which was dominated only by anger and hatred.

Nevertheless, the battle from here is not like before.

"This time the opponent is Yuno with the power of [light]. I was overwhelmed before, but it's possible I'm wearing a different force than I did back then. No, when I hear rumors of a battle with the Demon Army, I'm almost certain it's getting stronger..."

If this is the case, shouldn't I have gone under the Euno in a straight line without doing something roundabout about empowering myself?

No, that's a theory of results.

Even if he was headed straight for the line, there was quite a distance to the Rufus Empire where he was.

By the time we got to Euno, he might have grown strong already.

I may have made the roundabout, but I'm sure this was the best way to go.

Yes, I want to believe it.

"Of course, he's not the only one who's gotten stronger. I deepened [the darkness] and became stronger than before. However, I still don't think it will be a fierce fight. So..."

I stare back at the two of you.

"Will you two please stay safe? I'm going to fight Euno and Farah alone."

"Dear Chrome!?"

Shea and Yurin screamed at the same time.

It was a look filled with sadness and surprise.

It was incredible, something like that.

It breaks my heart to see their faces like that.

I'm about to let go of something irreplaceable right now.

But if we don't let go, we'll put them in danger.

Until now, we have been there together, and above all, I was confident that any opponent could retreat with the power of [darkness].

But only Euno is special.

He hosts [light] at the opposite pole of [darkness].

Unlike Myka and Margo, who gained power from its derivation.

"I don't want you to die. Even if I lose to Euno and the others, I want them alive. So here."

Let's split up - that's what I was about to say, and my lips were blocked by something soft.

Shea was talking to me.

He had hot, soft, sweet lips.
