Chapitre 2: Episode 2: The Unsmiling Faye
I woke up late at night.
I went to the Adventurers' Guild, but they said there was no message.
No way, he didn't call me, even though it was a job that would take several days.
Well, Jamil is like a little brother to me and Faye, he doesn't care if we fool around, and as far as skills go, even a demon leader would be toothless before those two.
There should be no problem.
The only thing that bothers me is… I haven't heard from Faye.
"I can ask for more details when they come back."
With that in mind, I returned to the inn and went back to sleep.
◆◆◆
It's all too odd.
It's been a week now.
Something is happening that I don't know about.
I have no choice but to eliminate the ogre that has appeared in the area, but I can't help but worry.
I resent my status.
If I weren't a Hero, I could find out where Faye is right now… but I can't.
When I returned to the city after the subjugation… Jamil was there.
The fact that Jamil was there meant that Faye had returned as well.
"Hey, Jamil…"
"…"
Jamil suddenly ran away.
He's a funny guy… well, it's okay.
I'm based in this city now, so if he wants to see me, he can come anytime.
It's more about Faye though.
I went to the Adventurer's Guild.
"Isn't this the Hero, Sir Kane? What can I do for you today?"
"A letter for Saint Faye, please"
"As you wish."
◆◆◆
Odd… it's been two days since then.
That we haven't heard from them in this situation, it's too odd.
I must speak to Jamil about this.
I had been looking for Jamil for six hours, and it was already dusk.
"There."
But Jamil was on his way out of the gate.
"Where are you going at this hour?"
Normally, you wouldn't go outside in the evening… because there are monsters… well, if you're as capable as Jamil, you shouldn't have any problems, but …
I wouldn't do this if it wasn't a big deal.
It was odd, so I decided to follow him.
I don't know what was happening.
Jamil was talking to a demon, although it was a mimick.
As a Hero, I can tell… if you look closely, there is no shadow.
There is no need to talk to the demons…our creed is to attack them immediately.
But Jamil does not move to attack at all.
It looked like he was begging for something.
It's a shame that I don't have exploration skills.
"※want※back※Hero※you"
It's hopeless, I can't hear him well.
"※promise※※※aint Fa※, ※※word"
I couldn't hear him very well, but it sounded like "Saint Fa".
I think he meant Faye.
Jamil is good for now… the demons should be the focus.
I decided to go after the demon Jamil was talking to, not Jamil.
◆◆◆
I followed the demon so as not to be noticed.
We went deeper and deeper into the forest.
"What's beyond this point?"
After a while, there was a small abandoned mansion.
Demons in such ruins … it seemed suspicious.
I can't hear much noise from inside.
Even if there were demons, they would be few in number.
I pulled out my Magic Sword Onyx and opened the door to the ruins.
The ruined mansion was illuminated by the moonlight and had plenty of visibility.
I went up to the third floor, the top floor, to take the view from above, and looked from room to room…
"It's odd, I don't even feel any sign of them."
I went to the second floor and looked around… there was no sign either.
Where did that demon disappear to…
When I looked around the first floor, and found a place where the wind was blowing in, even though there were walls.
"There's something here."
I thought so and looked for it… and there it was… the stairway to the basement.
After a while, the demon appeared… our eyes met.
"You, Kane."
There's no need to listen to it… I immediately slashed it down with my sword.
"You're Kane, I'll kill you."
"Die―――"
That's why they're so second-rate… if you're going to speak out, slash it immediately.
I also cut down two demons.
There doesn't seem to be anyone else… what's in the depths of this… I slowly made my way down, keeping a watchful eye on my surroundings.
There are several prisons, but no one seems to be in them.
There are also what appear to be torture devices, so this must be a facility for the demons to torture, interrogate, and execute humans.
As I went deeper into the prison…
No… no… it's a lie! … a lie!
What I saw there…
Hands bound in chains, and hung up.
A knife had been stabbed in the chest… as if to settle a long-standing grudge, the right hand was missing and the stomach was slashed open… a corpse.
Faye was hanging there.
"Faye… Faye… Faye—
I cut the chains with Onyx and put Faye down.
"Ugh… Faye"
Faye did not answer.
"Ugh, Faye —"
Faye did not smile.
It's only natural…because Faye is dead…
