[ As Bercouli and Kirito quickly gained the upper hand against Furgr and Sigurosig in battle. It took them 5 - 12 in a half minutes. The two of the Ten Lords were defeated by the two swordsmen. ]

Bercouli:
"Well fought, my honorable Ten Lords. That was more than I expected." Bercouli sheathed his sword, then Kirito did the same. "Bit lacking, though. I've done my time, so you kids need some training to win."

Kirito:
"I'm really glad Bercouli is on my side. Now, how is this gonna turn out?" Kirito said as Iskahn was eager to fight next

Iskahn:
"Oh man, me next! A chance to fight the Throne Slayer and the knight descended from the Celestial Realm!" Then he look at Deku. "Pick me, Throne Slayer! Or, hell, I'll fight you too, black haired kid! Kirito, right? C'mon!"

Lilpilin:
"...I'll get some lumps in, too. If I backed down now, I'd be a shame of an orc!" Then Bercouli shrugged his shoulders

[ The first session ended before it began. And yet, it went well, in a way. Just as Dorothy said, in the Dark Territory, strength is everything. And so their victories earned them the respect of the Ogre & Giant leaders. And so, they joined Shasta in pushing for peace. Shasta and Rengil were able to persuade the other leaders from fighting them, but... Instead, they were given something of a trail. Their trial was to persuade those not in their faction to seek peace. Ultimately, it was up to them - Human Realm to whether to persuade them with words or fists. And this crazy request allowed them to stay in the Dark Territory long-term. Shasta stated that, for the Ten Lords, this was actually quite a compromise. So it would be that they would once again resume their travels across the land. Then later, with Dorothy talking to Kirito - ]

Dorothy:
"Kirito! While a lot remains in front of us, even getting to stay is momentous. I hope.... You and Deku will keep working together with me?"

Kirito:
"You bet. That's why we're here, after all. We'll stick with you until the end."

Dorothy:
"Thank you, Kirito." Dorothy thanked Kirito as Kainan spoke to him next

Kainan:
"Nonetheless, this will not be easy. Some will hear you out, others... less so."

Kirito:
"Yeah, we need to do this carefully. The Ten we need to do this carefully. The Ten we need to still pursuade are..."

Kainan:
"The Dark Mages, both Goblins, the Assassins, the Pugilists and the Orcs. If I were to suggest where to start out of those choices... I would recommend speaking to Iskahn of the Pugilists and Lilpilin of the Orcs."

Kirito:
"Right, they're the two who got so worked up after our duels. Why them?"

Kainan:
"You were able to tame the Giants and the Ogres at the conference, yes? And with Deku, he had everybody else in shock of his name being called out in the conference, making a big name for himself, even though Dorothy's the one who exposed his nickname to everyone."

Kirito:
"True. And, er, Tame..."

Kainan:
"Power is everything here. We all follow it. That's why you succeed. And so: the Pugilists are the most obsessed with strength of all of us. So, beat them in a straight-forward battle, and we persuade them. Well, I act like it will be simple, but the strength we'll need is considerable."

Dorothy:
"As for Lilpilin, he is... rowdy, but he is a good and considerate ruler. I think simply speaking with him in private could yield significant results. Especially since Deku's the one who save Miss Renju after all."

Kirito:
"The Pugilists guild and the Orc, huh? And Deku did save Renju after all, so we should be good with the Orcs, hopefully. So, this should be a good plan. We'll try them first."

Kainan:
"You can find the Pugilists here in the Obsidia Castle's Arena."

Kirito:
"The Arena? Wait, there's an arena?"

Kainan:
"Yes, that would be their domain. I am not terribly fond of it, but nonetheless..."

Kirito:
"All right, let's go first-negotiate. Kainan, can you show us the way? Hm? Those people..." Kirito sees Kainan talking to someone

Kainan:
"Ah, yes, bodies like steel, you know you would think they would get cold, but..."

Sheyta:
"Couldn't one person with a sword beat them all?" Sheyta questioned

Kainan:
"Well, steel and spell are allowed in the Arena... and they still win handily." Then Kirito joins the conversation

Kirito:
"What's up?"

Kainan:
"Sheyta was concerned with what might happen if you have to fight the Pugilists."

Sheyta:
"Well, it's just, a swordsman versus fist-fighters..."

Kirito:
"Ah, yeah, I get it. They're just using their fists, so it feels one-sided."

Sheyta:
"Yes. But they are strong. "Bodies like steel" - We can't take them lightly."

Kirito:
"Sheyta, if it comes to fight, try not to go TOO all-out, okay?"

Sheyta:
"Right. Don't overdo it... but let's do it, Kirito, let's enter the Arena." Then three people approaches them - Deku, Yuuki and Bercouli.

Deku:
"Yo." Kirito turns around and sees the others, then he replies, 'Oh, hey Deku, Yuuki. Are you two ready?'

"Yeah. I'm the only one here to fight them. Yuuki's just watching."

Yuuki:
"Yeah. As much as I want to participate in this, but I actually wanted to see Deku-Kun in action."

Deku:
"So, are we ready to go?"

Kirito:
"Yeah, let's go."

[ Then as they were heading to the Arena, Iskahn and his crew were all in the Arena, waiting for their arrival, then the Human Realm made it to their destination - ]

Iskahn:
"Hey, welcome, Kirito and Throne Slayer! So easy deal: You want us at the table, you gotta fight."

Kirito:
"Wait, "us"? Iskahn, you want us to fight everyone here, not just you?"

Iskahn:
"Honestly, that'll be the case... but I wanted to fight against the Throne Slayer! So, you want me on Team Peace, right? Then you gotta convince ALL my boys. I'm the boss of the Guild because I'm the strongest. You get what I mean?"

Kirito:
"I see what you're getting at. There's just kind of a lot of you."

Iskahn:
"Hey, I only selected the best of my best for this! Guilds got a lotta hotheads. These folks will keep it clean and competitive! The other boys would just start killin'. We CAN fight that way if you want, but..."

Kirito:
"No, that'd just be the war we're trying to stop. I'll pass on any killing. Honestly, I was more hoping we could talk."

Iskahn:
"I appreciate that, but I ain't budgin'. You need to talk with muscles!"

Deku:
"..."

[ Flashback: Before the Arena - ]

Yuuki:
"Heya. Deku-Kun, are you going to fight the Pugilists?"

Deku:
"Yeah. Might as well. Since that guy name... Iskahn? Targeted me anyway."

Yuuki:
"You can still handle it with one-arm?"

Deku:
"Yeah. Just because I lose a limb, doesn't mean I can't kick ass with one arm. Besides, I'm ready for anything." Then Bercouli came in

Bercouli:
"Yo, Dekarusu. Got a minute."

Deku:
"Yeah, what's up."

Bercouli:
"Are you planning to participate in the Arena with the Pugilists?"

Deku:
"Yeah."

Bercouli:
"Okay, kiddo, just giving you a heads up about them. The Pugilists are Fist-Brawlers. When it comes to any steel, sharp blades, they refuse to get cut."

Yuuki:
"Huh?"

Deku:
"I'm sorry, heh, "refuse?!"

Bercouli:
"Yep, you heard me. When it comes to swords, daggers or anything sharp, it won't even scare them, it'll just make them even more fired up, makes their body more powerful to steel."

Deku:
"If I fight them bare-handed, they won't get more agitated. Heheh, I'm looking forward to a good old-fashioned brawl, it'll be a challenge for me to overcome them."

Bercouli:
"So I take it that you won't be using your weapons on this brawl."

Deku:
"That's right. Not to show off or anything, but I understand how they do things - Fight with all you got, nothing else but using your own hands."

Yuuki:
"Wow, it almost makes you sound like a delinquent, Deku-Kun." Yuuki giggled

Deku:
"May be, but still."

Bercouli:
"Well, either way, whatever works best for you, in order to have the pugilists on our side. I'm counting on you and the others for this."

Deku:
~"Yessir."

~("Even if I don't use the Black Dragon's Blade, I can still use any powerful elements in my sleeve, and I just gotta keep things in check so I won't go overboard...")

[ End of Flashback ]

Deku:
"Basically, Kirito, it's like the old saying - "We let our fists do the talking."

Iskahn:
"EXACTLY. Now you're speakin' my language, Throne Slayer! I can't wait to show you what my hands can do! Pugilists! Make some fists!" Iskahn's men were ready to fight

Alice:
"Kirito, we should avoid lethal attacks. He emphasized this is competition. Let us meet them on the field of honor! That will persuade them, I'm sure."

Kirito:
"Yeah. And Deku, are you sure you can do this without any weapons?"

Deku:
"I'm definitely sure. Let's go already."

Kirito:
"Right. Human Peace Mission! Ready your weapons!" Kirito said as the Human Realm - Leafa, Lisbeth, Sheyta, Deku, Alice, Eugeo and Silica was ready to fight. Then Iskahn was getting excited

Iskahn:
"I like that face! I like your spirit! Hell yeah! C'mon, come at us!"

[ Then as the fight begins... the Kirito and the others were fighting the lower pugilists... while Deku on the other hand, was fighting against their boss: Iskahn - ]

SWING SWING - DODGE - THUD!!!
Iskahn:
"Hehehe! You're not bad, Throne Slayer! I'm getting warmed up now!

Deku:
"Same thing to you. I can tell that this'll be a good fight."

Iskahn:
"Hell Yeah! And I'm surprised that you're fighting me with only one arm - You trying to show off or what?!"

Deku:
"Nope - Regardless, this will be a great challenge for me, as I already lose my left arm in a life-or-death battle with the pontifex. So either way, if there's no way for me to prove, I'm just following through, not letting anyone or anything else blocking my way!"

Iskahn:
"I would feel the same way if I were in your shoes. Now, c'mon-!"
FIST GRINDING - SWING - DUCKED!

MULTIPLE FISTS CLASHING - DUCKED - KNEE BLOCKED - ELBOW BLOCKED - BOTH LEAPED BACK!

[ Iskahn was giving Deku everything he got to deliver damage against him, but Deku was able to defend himself and finding an opening to counterattack but Iskahn was to block his blows, then both of them leap back to gain some more distance from each other - ]

Iskahn:
("Hell Yeah! This is a fight - Going blow to blow, dodging and countering! This guy's a real fighter - A warrior! I'm getting SUPER FIRED UP")

Deku:
("Heheh... I really don't know why I feel something inside my body... this feeling - It's like there's a burning flame inside me that's about to erupt! I'm getting so excited as I keep fighting this guy! This weird instinct is kicking in!")

DOUBLE DASHED!

Iskahn and Deku:
~"DYAH-!"
~"HRAH-!"

DOUBLE KICK CLASHED - BOOMED!!

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

[ With Iskahn and Deku goes all in, delivering good and powerful blows, one after another - Going all-out, one managed to land a good blow, and the same thing happened with other one, then they both were going to aim for their faces, both land a good shot at the face and were sent flying in a few feet from each other - ]

Deku:
THUD - BACK ROLLED - FLIPPED - THUD!

Iskahn:
THUD - ROLLING - FIST THUDDED!

Iskahn and Deku:
*Smirks*
"Heh-!"
"Heh-!"

Yuuki:
"Wow! Deku-Kun.... You're so awesome! Totally amazing!"

Iskahn:
"Hehehehe! Hahahaha! Now THIS is a FIGHT!"

Deku:
"Hell yeah... I can't help but feel so excited! I haven't had a hand-to-hand combat like this in a while! To be honest, I wanna keep going! Until one of us admits defeat-!"
SHING - EYE CHANGED!

[ Suddenly, Deku's eyes changed - His eyes transformed into a look-like Dragon's eyes... as he couldn't control his smirk! ]

Iskahn:
"I agree! One more round!"  Iskahn was warming up and he generated Fire from his fists. "Alright - Here I COME!!!"

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

DASHED!

Deku:
"Bring it on-!"
DASHED!

FOOT STOMPING - FIST CLASHED - BOOM!!! WIND GUSTS!!!

Pugilists:
~"Woah!!!"
~"Woah!!!"
~"Woah!!!"

~"That's some serious power! It evens matches the Boss's Fire!"

~"This Throne Slayer is somethin'! He's seriously strong!"

~"I wanna see how this'll go down!!!"

Kirito:
"Uh-oh! This could get out of hand!"

Alice:
"They don't have to take it that far! We already won!"

Eugeo:
"True but I don't think that we can! It's getting too intense!"

Iskahn:
"HRAH-!!!"

Deku:
"HNG!!!"

[ Iskahn was delivering a fierce of fire-fist barrage at Deku, but Deku was able to predict his movements before he could even make it as he was evades and parries his fists... and then - ]

Deku:
FIERCE PARRIED-!
"You're cooked-!"
SWING-!

Iskahn:
"As if-!"

[ As Deku parried Iskahn's punch and quickly throws in a punch to end it all... but Iskahn managed to recover and quickly throws a right hand punch to counter... ]

Iskahn and Deku:
SLOW MOTION -

SWIFT-! WIND GUSTED!!!
.
.
.
.
.
.

[ In a slow motion - Both fighters were able to throw a punch and they both missed as a gust of wind blows through... and both slowly regained their momentum and posture as they slowly calm down from their excitement and adrenaline. Then as they smiled at each other - ]

Iskahn:
"It'll be a waste..."

Deku:
"Right... plus, we're on a mission by the way. Can't get too carried away."

Alice:
"Thank goodness. I thought it wouldn't be over."

Kirito:
"Same here."

Iskahn:
"Well, we lose. I'd heard the Human Realm had fighters worth a thousand dudes... Didn't think it'd be this true, though. Especially a warrior like you - Throne Slayer!"

Deku:
"Appreciate it. I really don't know why but... I suddenly felt this weird feeling when I was fighting you, it's like, the more I fight, the exciting things get. And I really wanna take it to its peak." Deku cooly chuckles

Iskahn:
"Right! Great minds think alike!"

Kirito:
"That was really intense..."

Alice:
"You really didn't have to take it that far, Deku. We already won before you decided to take things to a different level." Alice walked towards Deku and was chewing him out

(A/N: Just pretend without the hearts and the other stuff... 😅)

Deku:
"Sorry, my bad. It's not my fault that the fight got more intense... I got too excited." Deku waved his hand innocently

Alice:
"Well regardless of what happened, we're still on a mission here. You're just like Kirito, you know that."

Deku:
(😑)
"Okay - I know you're not thinking me the same as that Edgy?! I'm different from him. And plus, can't you blame me for wanting more action?!"

Kirito:
"I'm right here, you know."

Alice and Deku:
"We know."
"We know."

Kirito:
(😑)

Alice:
"Anyway, just don't get carried away, ok?"

Deku:
(😑)
"Really wish that you didn't treat me like a fool like this one right here. Fine. I'll be more careful not to get careless."

Lisbeth:
(😆)
"You know, it's funny to see Deku also getting chewed out by Alice!"

Leafa:
(😅... 😩)
"...Poor Deku-Kun. ...But man, I'm so done."

Lisbeth:
( 😀... 😫)
"As much I would enjoy laughing at Deku... but please, how about a time out..."

Silica:
(😣)
"I'm drenched in sweat... Water... I need water... Silal Water..."

Kirito:
"Instead they just keep coming, standing up again and again..."

Deku:
"In the end, it just goes to show that they don't give up on fighting so easily. They're brawlers after all. And I really respect that."

Leafa:
"At the end there, I yelled "just stop," even! They are way too into it..."

Sheyta:
"Yet, it was quite an enjoyable fight. I'd like to continue. May I?"

Deku:
"Yeah! Me too-!"
GRABBED! PULLS!

Alice:
"Oh no you do not, Deku! You already had your fill. Stand down this instant." Alice stops Deku as she pulls his coat collar, preventing him from fighting again

Deku:
(😅)
"Aw come on! I really enjoyed this fight. It's been a while since I've had a hand-to-hand fight with someone!"

Alice:
"No means no, Deku."

Kirito:
"And Sheyta, hold on. I don't think any of them could keep up with you." Kirito said as he also prevented Sheyta to fight any more, then Iskahn spoke

Iskahn:
"Man, not only I like how Throne Slayer fights, getting me all fired up, but DAMN! That woman slows down for a moment. I really like it. But Kirito's right. That's all for today. It's clear that we got stomped."

Kirito:
"So..."

Iskahn:
"You bet!"

Kirito:
"You'll back the peace proposal?!"

Iskahn:
"So I'm gonna kick off a PARTY! And we'll get back to our fight, Throne Slayer-! Oh wait, what's your actual name?" Iskahn asked Throne his name.

Deku:
"My name's Deku. It doesn't matter what you called me anyway - "Deku" or "Throne Slayer" they're both me."

Iskahn:
"Alright, Deku!"

[ Then after the fight was over, everyone had a feast... everyone was eating good food, having a nice conversation with each other... then as Iskahn was taking to Kirito - ]

Iskahn:
"Kirito, I'm gonna be honest. Peace, war, it's all whatever to me. I want to fight. But if the Human Realm has folks like you and Deku, and I get to square off with 'em... And then share a meal with 'em after? That's a future I can get behind!"

Kirito:
"Iskahn..."

Iskahn:
"Go give it your all, man. Don't let anyone beat you - unless they're me! And the same goes for Deku as well!"

Kirito:
"Yeah. I won't lose to anyone."

Iskahn:
"Oh, ah, that woman, what was her name again?" Iskahn wonders as he looks at Sheyta

Kirito:
"Who?"

Iskahn:
"The slender one with the black hair." Iskahn describes Sheyta

Kirito:
"Oh, you mean Sheyta."

Iskahn:
"Sheyta, I'll remember that name."

Kirito:
"Uh, wait. Are you..."

Iskahn:
"Huh? What? She's a fine woman. What, you don't see it?" Then as they both kept talking, Deku looks at their direction

Deku:
~"Hmph."

(🙂)
~("They get along really well. Looks like we managed to get the Pugilists together and ready up for this peace mission. This went well - A good fight and a good feast after?! I like the way they think for having a good time.") Deku thought to himself as he finished his food, then Yuuki speaks to him

Yuuki:
"So Deku-Kun, you had your fun?"

Deku:
"Mhm. That felt great."

Yuuki:
"I was shocked when you came toe-to-toe with that guy... um, Iskahn. That was totally insane!"

Eugeo:
"Yeah, I wouldn't even last that long against him like that. You're a tough guy, Deku."

Deku:
"Thanks."

Alice:
"Do you seriously have to go through that much trouble with that fight?!"

Deku:
(🤦🏾‍♂️/😅)
*Sigh*
"Alice, I said I'm sorry for getting too carried away, what more do you want from me?!"

Leafa:
(😅)
"Yeah, you can lay off on him a bit, Alice. I can tell that you love to pick on him."

Alice:
"Wh-what?! I'm not trying to pick on him."

Deku:
"Yes. Yes, you do, Alice."

Lisbeth:
(😏)
"It just goes to show that she LOVES our Deku. You've got some good competition, Yuuki."

Deku:
(😑)
"Ok, you freeloader, stop being a pain in the neck and stop making this worse by gaslighting."

Alice:
(😳)
"C-Cease this at once!"

Yuuki:
*Pouts*
"Hey, no one can picks on Deku-Kun better than me! I got the advantage as I know him well enough!" Yuuki clings on to Deku

Deku:
(😕)
"At this point, I REALLY need so duck tape for that mouth of yours, Lisbeth. Your gaslighting knows no bounds!" Then a few people laughed at that moment.

(😑)
"And when you get the taste of your medicine, I'll laugh my butt off and I ain't holding anything back either."

[ As the Human Realm managed to get the Pugilists on their side for a path to peace, heading back to the Obsidia Castle, Shasta was shocked by them managed to persuade the Pugilists. Then Shasta ordered Dorothy to continue to keep escort the Human Realm's party, as he entrust the duty to no one else but to her. Then Dorothy accepts the mission as she'll conduct herself as befitting a Dark Knight. Then later as Dorothy was walking with Kirito and Deku - ]

Dorothy:
"So that's how it went down. You're truly strong, Deku! I wish I could witness your strength in person."

Deku:
(🙂...😅/🫤)
"Thanks, and I just did whatever it takes to win... well, trying to not to get carried away... even though I did get chewed out by Alice at the end."

Kirito:
"I know how you feel, getting into crazy situations out of nowhere."

Deku:
(😔)
"Yeah... and I apologize for picking on you when you're in those situations, now I know how you feel, I'll drop it from now on."

Kirito:
"I appreciate it." Then two dark knights came and was talking about Dorothy

"Looks like someone's started strutting around, huh?" Then both Kirito and Deku know that same knight who talking smack to Dorothy before

Kirito:
"You... You're the one from before."

"This girl's mother was slain by a Human Realm knight, you know. Pathetic."

Dorothy:
"Please do not discuss this while people from the Human Realm are here!"

"They killed your mother and you still suck up to them. You've picked sides, eh?

Dorothy:
"No! I'm just trying to act for peace!"

"Sure. I bet they're fed up with you, too, given how pitiful you are."

"Yeah. Dorothy, just leave the Dark Army. You don't belong here or anywhere. If you belong anywhere, it's on the grave of your disgusting excuses for parents!"

Deku:
"!!!" Deku's eyes widened

Dorothy:
"Y...You. How dare you speak ill of the dead... of my parents?! FACE ME! NOW!

Kirito:
"You get to face us the three of us. We'll show you how strong our realms are together!"

Deku:
"I've been WAITING for this! All that smack talk will be your last ESPECIALLY when it comes to dead relatives! So get ready for consequences of your words!"

.
.

[ With Dorothy works together with Kirito and Deku, they won the fight and they two Dark Knights ran off in defeat - ]

Deku:
"If I see you two again, you're finished! Coward bastards!" Deku said as the three of them sheathed their weapons. "That feels so much better, I wish I could send them to the hospital!"

Kirito:
"That'll teach them a lesson. Hey, Dorothy, you sure you're okay with this? You could have reported them to Shasta, I bet."

Deku:
"Honestly, even reporting people won't be enough, sometimes you just have to deal with it yourself. So I definitely don't blame Dorothy for doing this."

Dorothy:
"I want them to respect me, someday. Also, about my parents -"

Deku:
"Dorothy, sorry for cutting you off, but you don't have to say anything about your parents."

Kirito:
"Well, actually... I already know too, with Deku. Sorry, we just happened to overhear you talking."

Dorothy:
"...Ah. I see. That's fine. Bercouli and I settled things regarding my mother.

[ Then a flashback of when Dorothy and Bercouli were alone... Kirito and Deku were there as they both were listening to their conversation - Dorothy thanked Bercouli for taking care of Sarai when they both were imprisoned. She thought to ask if he recall ever fighting a female Dark Knight? Then Bercouli said that he remember fighting a woman who called herself "Elisheva." He remembered her wanted a duel, he answered her challenge as he recalled that she was Dorothy's mother. She was a strong opponent to Bercouli as he remained with her in her final moments. The last thing Elisheva said was her daughter's name: "Dorothy." Bercouli said that she has the right to take revenge if she wants but Dorothy rejected the offer of avenging her mother's death - ]

Dorothy:
"That what Sir Bercouli and I said. The rest, I think you two heard."

Deku:
*Calming Tone*
"I know I can't say it but - Are you sure you're okay leaving it there, Dorothy?"

Dorothy:
"If I don't take revenge, does that mean I abandoned my mother?" Then Deku's eyes widened as he thought of the same thing for his late family members.

Deku:
"To be honest - I thought of the same thing if I didn't go and decided to have my revenge against the pontifex. But... now that I have experienced through everything - I'd say no."

Dorothy:
"But... even if I could kill him, the others wouldn't stand for it. I'd die right then. Yet if I just remain silent, you two and my fellow knights all seem dissatisfied."

Deku:
"Well, either way Dorothy, that's how it went down for me - Kirito and the others were trying to look out for me and tried to tell me about killing couldn't bring anyone back. I just wanted to kill her, I don't care about anything else, and I was ready to die for my family members but I managed to survive with the cost of my left arm and this scar. So, you're living in a way that doesn't shame your parents."

Dorothy:
"Is that... true?"

Deku:
"Yes. It'll be tough but it'll be worth it as you'll have a good future along with Sarai."

Kirito:
"Yeah, you're doing great, Dorothy."

Deku:
"Definitely. Better than me, as I'm trying my best to atone for my actions, stupid ideals and my cruel words towards my friends who're my new family now. I ultimately hope that you won't make the same mistakes that I make. Keep doing the right things, Dorothy." Deku smiled at Dorothy.

Dorothy:
"Thank you both." Dorothy then embraced both of them."

Kirito:
("A cup so full that it's ready to spill. If it were to spill, that would be absolutely unacceptable. Because if it let anything spill, could it still call itself a cup? Somehow, looking at the forced smile on Dorothy's face made me think of that.")

Deku:
("Just as I lose my cousins, Dorothy loses her mother. We're both alike but different. I was on a dark path but Dorothy's on the light path.")

("I was manipulated, gaslighted into doing things that I hate to do. And I really hated myself for that, and even more than I thought I actually killed four of my friends, and leaving Yuuki behind again, giving her even more pain. It took me a while for forgiving myself but it was worthwhile as I got stronger than before... And here I am now, my first step in atonement. And I'll stop at nothing to protect Dorothy, Sarai, or anyone else from seeking revenge!")

[ To be continued ]
