Epilogue: Criminal
Back in the kingdom of Galarc, in the royal capital of Galtuuk, the sun was just about to set. In a dark alleyway off to the side of the slums and red-light district...
Drip, drip.
The sound of a dripping liquid echoed.
“Ah... Ah...”
Sendo Takahisa gripped his Divine Arms in his hand as he trembled.
“You...”
A sinister-looking thug was glaring at Takahisa.
“...”
Right beside Takahisa and the thug was a young girl dressed in old rags. She stared at them in vacant shock from where she had fallen on the ground. The dripping sound continued incessantly. A red puddle spread across the ground of the alley—a puddle of blood.
“Ah... Ah... Ah...”
Takahisa looked between his hand, the red puddle of blood, and his sword that was stuck in the thug’s chest. He looked multiple times, over and over again, thinking of a way to recover from this situation. However, his Divine Arms was mercilessly thrust through the heart.
“Th-This isn’t good...”
Indeed, it wasn’t.
It was illegal.
If he killed a person...
Murder...
It was absolutely illegal.
“U-Urk...”
A large amount of blood spilled from the thug’s mouth.
“Eek...!” Takahisa let out a scream.
At the same time, he panicked and his body drew backwards. His sword was pulled from the thug’s heart, causing blood to flood out.
“Gah...”
The thug fell to the ground heavily, turning into a lifeless corpse.
It was too late.
Everything was too late.
There was no going back anymore.
On this day...
“Ah... Aaah...”
Sendo Takahisa became a murderer.
