Book 3: Chapter 33
We all sat around, gloomy air surrounding us.
Dante-san and Mimino-san were particularly depressed. I didn’t know what to say to them.
“There was nothing else we could do. We did our best” – they know that without needing me to say it out.
Non-san was silently cleaning up the remaining tableware.
The fog had now completely cleared up, so Zerry-san was going around and examining the hall we were in.
「I always thought that Leon tried to be the hero… but from his point of view, I was the one always acting heroic, huh.」Dante-san muttered, heaving a sigh.「Even though we saved him, he stabbed me with his sword. But if he had apologized, if he had apologized in all sincerity, I would have forgiven him. Last night, Leon once again asked me to return to the Golden Brigade.」
I see… I was almost sure that Leon asked to join Silver Balance instead, but… he was prideful to the end, huh.
「I strongly refused him, but I noticed that he was acting strange since then. Leon said he had abandoned his companion, but I wonder if he had actually killed his companion instead…」
「Killed?」I asked.
