and Lewis, the attackers' main force, are focused on negotiating, your job is to free the hostages." "How very simple. In fact, it hardly even rises to the level of a plan. That shit's basic! It's so damn bland that it makes unbuttered bread look like caviar!" "Aye, so it is. And that's why you're going to add a little...
steel titan she'd sacrificed. But right when Jeanne was getting ready to accept her own limitations, Izabella casually made a suggestion. "Now that I think about it, couldn't you just use me?" She'd dropped that particular bomb while they were having tea, of all times. When she'd made the proposal, Jeanne's mouth had b...
ruined that plan was a monster who'd appeared out of nowhere. Having one's assumption of superiority suddenly overturned would throw anyone into a panic. With a little sense, though, one could pull themself together, then try and come up with a new plan to salvage the situation. Trying to flee would be folly. There was...

As Lewis made his cold statement, a faint smile came over his lips. It was a tired, self-deprecating expression— —and by far the o...
the empty building as a temporary base. And when they did, they'd brought something with them. But what? The grim premonition grew stronger and stronger. A sudden conviction welled up in Elisabeth. These doors would be best left unopened. The barrier between this side of the door and the other side was concealing a sig...
for her to do here. If Kaito Sena were here, what would he do? If his reaction to the Room of Pain was anything to go off, he would have been furious. Trembling with rage, he would've cried, Don't you have even a little respect for the living?! For the deed he'd be faced with belied no respect for them whatsoever. Yet ...
duty. True, it might not normally seem like any of my concern, but I heard him just as well as anyone—'this here will be our daybreak.'" That line was part of the statement the boy proclaiming himself to be the Mad King had made. Back then, the child who'd died a meaningless death in another world had spoken words of...
upward, he offered Aguina a proposal. "If I bombard them after we make it outside, the villa will remain unharmed. Most of the front garden will get blown away, but...given the circumstances, a sacrifice such as that seems trivial. That's my recommendation. How does that sound?" "I most certainly object, and that shoul...
healers of the three races had analyzed the underling corpses, reproduced their poison, and passed it along to Kaito Sena to have him strengthen it further by imbuing it with mana. Not even a saint stood a chance of neutralizing it. After the battle, the beastfolk had taken the leftover poison for safekeeping. There wa...
end of days. "There's little love lost between us and the mixed-race people. But even so, we're more sympathetic toward them than you are—and also more pessimistic. If nothing else, mankind's population is huge. As our people's blood grows more and more diluted, your people will end up assimilating us. And I have lit...
it a great honor to be able hear the final words of the saints' representative...and I can only pray that you will forgive me for my abject failure to protect you." "As far as that's concerned, you have nothing to worry about. I simply left myself open for a moment. More than just a moment, in fact. But that was all th...

In a flash, Elisabeth reached her verdict. She grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back to her side. "La Christoph! ...Rgh, ...
of the Forest are currently debating their fates." Lute reacted to Ain's initial statement with bewilderment, but Elisabeth immediately sussed out the reason behind the internal division. Yet again, it all came back to the demi-humans' obsession with blood purity. Aguina and the other traitors had wanted to make sure t...
undoubtedly heard Lewis's words. Elisabeth clenched her fists tight. Then and there, the proclamation had been made. The opening act was over, and the war had begun in earnest. They'd escaped the end of days and been saved, but now the curtain had well and truly risen on a new stage. The avengers were revolutionizing t...

I was finally able to call you, O wounded soul, O pure being from another world, O beacon of our hope, O answer to our prayers, O key to our revolution of the world." The man in black knelt before her. That was when Sara real...
knocked her second meal off the table just the same as she had her first. Kaito could practically see the cat ears drooping atop her head. The Torture Princess was a peerless sinner, it was true, but she had a certain childish side to her as well. Eating delicious things filled her with an innocent joy, and tasting unp...
there were no traces of the fresh bloodstain. Kaito breathed a sigh of relief. I guess it was a dream after all. Suddenly, though, he frowned. There was something strange about a particular patch of the ground. The soil was disturbed, like something had exploded up from underneath it. It was the kind of thing you'd exp...
needles' silver prongs pierced his foot clean through. Seeing them burst through the top of his shoe, Kaito grimaced. He lifted his foot up, and a horrible slurping noise sounded out as it came free of the needles, which were now covered in disgusting globs of fat. Blood gushed from his wounds. As agony shot through hi...

They were bold words, coming from the person who'd shoved him into a magical device against his will. Kaito squinted at her. However, it was ...
The weight of its grudge had sullied the very air. Despite the bizarre situation he was in, though, Kaito himself was still fast asleep. However, when Elisabeth looked closer, she noticed that something was off about him. Hmm, she thought as she approached his bed. She peered at his face, and once she did, she realized...
it and had in fact mostly forgotten that it existed at all. However, it might well be just the thing they needed to resolve their current situation. The only problem was how dangerous it was. Kaito, of course, had strong feelings about being used as a guinea pig. "Okay, that's gonna be a reeeeal hard pass from me!" "No...
perverse, and that means a lot coming from me." "...Huh." "A sea of knives and needles, eh...? 'Tis a veritable cage of pain, impossible to ever escape from." Elisabeth narrowed her gaze. The scene bore a disturbing resemblance to the atrocity the Torture Princess once put her fiefdom through. Her subjects' desperate p...
The Torture Princess was being burned in the fires of Hell in front of all the masses. Night in and night out, her torment continued without cease. However, Elisabeth Le Fanu had never once tossed and turned. And she had never once feared going to sleep. A Message from Someone (3) "I never once loved you people." I bel...
high-quality black cloak he was wearing quivered along with him. There was a bowler hat perched atop his head, and his face was hidden behind a gaudy mask. It was covered in silver, jewels, and goose feathers, no doubt to capture the attention of any who looked at it and get them to forget the rest of his appearance. H...

The driver raised his lantern up high, illuminating the oddly fleshy nude etching of the Saint in the door beside them. The original compositi...
The girls quickly reached out before he could make a break for it, binding his limbs with their metal restraints. Then they hoisted him up like a pig on a spit and began carrying him in cordial unison. """"Heave-ho. Heave-ho. Heave-ho. Heave-ho. Heave-ho."""" "Please, no, no, stop, I'll do anything, no, aaaaaaaagh!" Th...
youth tripped over his feet, Hina, still holding her halberd, dropped her voice an octave. "Never again utter such rudeness to my dearest Lady Elisabeth." "Wha...? I don't—" "And heeere I goooo! Hachaaaaaah!" The young man started to let out a bewildered yelp, but he was cut off by a loud, cheerful cry. At some point...
kitchen. It was physically possible, to be sure, but the prospect of Elisabeth finding out was a terrifying one indeed. The Butcher leaped up and down in joy at this fortuitous outcome. Hina smiled genially. Early as it was, her daily indulgence was complete, and she set off. Together, the two of them headed for the ki...
able to catch Madam Elisabeth by surprise! Right now, the best thing we can do is wait here and watch them!" Hina gave his calm words of reason a nod. She clenched her fists tight, but she sat back down all the same. Meanwhile, Elisabeth's mood visibly shifted. However, the man didn't notice the change. The Torture Pri...
do you know of any key that can open the door from the outside, or perhaps of another way to get in?" The driver blinked at the line of questioning. However, his eyes twitched to the side for a moment first. Hina's preeminent automaton powers of observation allowed her to pick up on the change, and the Butcher caught i...

Choosing to omit some details, the two of them proudly puffed out their chests. Elisabeth scratched her cheek as though unsure of what to s...

Elisabeth followed him in crossing her arms in thought. Now they had another useless riddle on their hands. However, this was hardl...
world, that was all news to him. He couldn't help but glance back and forth between her face and the passage. "Wait, that clearly means something weird is going on! How could you not notice that?!" "No, well, they do grow fairly large, so I just overlooked it. But still, I've never once heard of them growing to the siz...
familiar with the term. Unfortunately, though, Kaito couldn't think of any other way to describe it. After all, the entity before them was clad from head to toe in silver. It was even holding some sort of copper tublike implement in its hands. It was bizarre, even by space-alien standards. Communicating with it probabl...
to her heart's content. "Sigh, Master Kaito was the coolest today, just like he always is... The way he ties up his hair into a little knot is so lovely, I could just lick him all over and smooch him until the cows come home... All right, it looks as though I've finished making the rounds. What should I do now? I wonde...
would be much lower in turn. There was no way such an inferior poison would be enough to take down those massive rodents. Hmm. Hina closed her eyes and thought. One option was to simply head back upstairs. From there, she could get in contact with the Butcher and order fresh chemicals. However, that would mean leaving ...
like her. She raised her arm up high and spoke without a moment's hesitation. "Now then—it's time to settle this!" And with that, she hurled the herbs into the tub. The herbs bobbed as they floated on the liquid's surface. A heavy silence filled the air. Hina tilted her head to the side. Hmm? Then a tremendous quanti...
do your job!" Hmm? Hmmmm? What was she talking about? The words came to her readily, but they were accompanied by a third wave of indescribable malaise. She raised her hands up and down in consternation. Kaito, for his part, stretched his arms, then pursed his lips. "I mean, you say that, but... Here, how's this for a ...
know this. 'Tis... It was something she herself had once created on Kaito's request. It was an earthenware pot. What in the world was it doing there? No, no. There was something more pressing to consider. Namely, the fact that Kaito and Hina were standing right next to her. After looking down at her from both sides, th...
and decided to stop paying so much heed to his antics. The bare stone floor was cold on her legs. Curious as to where she was, she glanced around. It was a small, cramped room with little in the way of furniture save for the bed beside her. The bed had a simple design but was high-quality all the same. Over on the ston...
possessed garments woven from pure magic like that, but even in the Capital, it was highly irregular for them to wear it when they weren't on duty. Jeanne did have a point, though. Elisabeth's outfit had a bit more cloth to it than hers, but on the whole, they were still exceedingly similar. That said, this was Elisabe...
planned to just pretend like he hadn't heard anything. Instead, he whistled and meandered away. After making his way over to Hina, he quickly hid behind her back. When he spoke next, it was from the shadow of her maid outfit. "Ah, that reminds me! On my way here, I spotted a group who looked to be guests as well! I ima...
lovely little flower! If the world could speak, it would boast of both your beauties to all creation!" "Mmm, 'tis a most pleasant way to be complimented." Hina hopped up and down before Elisabeth like an excitable puppy. Elisabeth nodded. That alone made all the strain and suffering she'd endured worth it. Kaito, who w...
a rainbow sheen hung in the milky-white sky. The sky had no sun, nor did it have a moon. It was beautiful, but there was nothing there, making its beauty hollow. Delicate snowflakes fell from the sky and piled upon the ground. Two toppled pillars of ivy sat atop the snow. She was at the World's End. The pillars rested ...
Someone. Back then, I already had the outline of the Saint's story laid out, so I wanted to make sure these sections were set up such that it would all make sense later down the line. Finally getting to finish her Message came as a big relief. Now you have the full picture on what she thought and felt. I hope that some...
true reason people have to show compassion to others is so they don't get killed themselves. But those humans violated that rule, taking those of mixed race just as intelligent as them and butchering them like animals." And that had led directly to this. "A natural conclusion," Vlad whispered softly. "How can you even ...
girl who resembled a mannequin was coming toward them from the main road that led to the village's meeting hall. Her porcelain skin gleamed under a bondage dress even more risqué than Elisabeth's. The girl shook her head lightly to the side. Doing so caused her golden hair to sway luxuriously. Her rose-red eyes were f...
fought in Ragnarok. Then he went on. "'The Mad King's the only reason any of us made it out of there,' my brother kept telling me. 'If it weren't for him, we would've all just died.' The way I see it, it's our job as survivors to pay our respects to the person the Mad King was fighting to save... Even if that person is...
prevent that, those who knew the truth decided to extract the palatable bits alone in order to dress them up and present them to the world. "As naked men and women hide their unmentionables and mask their faces with makeup. As flowers are pruned, with their rotted stems coldly discarded. Such is the nature of our dilap...
still just as pronounced as it had been back then. After the demons and the end of days, it was only natural that some people would seek refuge in death rather than endure a third such calamity. Elisabeth nodded deeply. The mob was making an understandable decision. An understandable, irredeemable, and utterly asinine ...
and Hina watched the two pieces intently. However, neither of the women moved. They merely began having a conversation. However, the pieces' voices weren't audible from down on the board. And Kaito and Hina both knew that. The pieces appeared close to them, but they were actually farther away than the World's End. Tryi...
my blood and secrets run freely from my mouth?" Her voice was calm and dignified, and it rang thick with determination. Even now, she was still searching for a respectable option. Either way, her path would be a thorny one, but she had steeled her resolve and, if need be, was prepared to commit a betrayal of her own. E...
silently and watched events unfold from on high was all too liable to grow twisted and rotten. Thanks to their efforts, the situation had been resolved without incident. However, one mystery yet remained. "The thing is, neither Jeanne nor I had any idea who the old woman actually was," Izabella had concluded her report...
mechanical substitutes, and any one of her attacks would be sufficient to rend flesh and crush organs. Yet not only did Elisabeth evade her deadly strikes, she did it with footwork reminiscent of a dancer's. Then she leaped backward with feline agility, landing on her feet with a light tap. Her black hair hung in the a...
snake's belly went limp. Golden light poured from its body in place of blood. Elisabeth furrowed her brow, then looked over in the direction of the most likely culprit. However, Vlad wasn't the one she had to thank. He hadn't so much as moved from his spot. He had merely thrust out his arm, as though calling something....
kept not waking up, so I tried calling you by your name for a change. Ah, the memories it brings back. Back to the matter at hand, though, you say nothing's wrong, but..." Vlad curled his lips. Elisabeth narrowed her eyes—if he had something he wanted to say, she'd just as soon he said it. All of a sudden, something ...
and Vyade's senior. "First prince Vyadryavka Ula Forstlast." Elisabeth spoke the man's name. He nodded, then gave his cloak a flourish. It flared out behind him, and the ornamental peafowl feathers on his shoulders fluttered along with it. Then, as Elisabeth looked at him in puzzlement, he made his move. Without a shre...

let her guard down. Things had been peaceful that day, but even that calm was nothing more than a fleeting illusion. The tranquility was but an intermission in the farce. And before long, the show would begin again to cheers and thunderous applause. When that happened, those scant peaceful hours would vanish like they'...
all, who would ever imagine a group containing several prominent demi-humans defiling the Sand Queen's mouth like that? That would be like the Grave Keeper abandoning her vows or the Butcher forgetting the Saint. And that was precisely why they picked it. That was what it meant to betray the world. However, one questio...
such skeleton. As she quietly slipped through its open rib cage, Elisabeth spoke. "The front lines are no place for us. Our task lies in the shadows." Meanwhile, demon grandchildren with misshapen wings flew over the main drag. Weaving over the labyrinthine streets, they made for the Three Kings of the Forest like arro...
"Ah, hell. Hell! Where everything burns and festers and crumbles and dies. Where are you off to in such a hurry amid all this death?" "I said it not moments ago—we have a task to fulfill in the shadows." "My, how underhanded. What task is that?" Elisabeth responded to the Kaiser by silently glaring forward. For she k...
could possess. That method wouldn't be enough for her to surpass Kaito, but surpassing Elisabeth was another matter altogether. Now, thanks to a ritual they'd prepared in advance, all the pain being generated in the settlement was being offered up to Alice. "...So that was why you left Satisbarina behind." If their loc...
nothing to talk about." "Oh, but we do! So, so many things! And if you're dissatisfied, why, we can even talk about loathing. For no matter what we say, all this is but a tale played out atop a farcical stage. It's as the Kaiser said; eventually, everything will be lost. And that's a problem well worth worrying over......
very existence is all one big joke." "You know, my dear daughter tells me the same thing all the time! For how long her rebellious phase has lasted, you'd think she'd at least have mellowed out a bit by now, no?" "My Alice would never say something like that. Have you considered that she might just not like you?" A che...
shifting in the flames, but he reached his conclusion all the same. The one being who could stand on equal footing with the Three Kings was on the move. To be more precise, she hadn't actually been resurrected. Her corpse was simply moving. However, there was no shortage of legends about the Sand Queen going to battle,...
going to get really ugly. Elisabeth cast her fatigued gaze forward. A gleaming crystal sat before her. And in it, Kaito Sena and Hina were sleeping peacefully amid the boulders. By all rights, Alice's statement should have come true. Elisabeth shouldn't have been able to make it in time. However, the crystal was still ...
equal measure! Why is it, then, that you cling so steadfastly to your connection with it?!" "No, no... I—I, you see. I, believed, in God. Believe, in God. Believed, really, reeeeally hard. But ever, since, my legs, were blessed with, these holy wounds, my memories, have, been really, spotty, you see? But, you see. Th...
get some damn advice?!" "You know, I'm still waiting for you to apologize about that," Elisabeth noted. "Can it, bitch. One thing at a time." "...Y-you were smashing down doors? Anyhow, I thought that changing my lifestyle and behavior just because I was in a relationship would come across as insincere, but...if it mad...
straying from the straight and narrow, but odds were good that there were other such innovative techniques just waiting to be discovered. Someday, that hurdle would be cleared, too. The bigger problem was the here and now. Too many people knew that Kaito Sena was the vessel, so leaving God with him was too great a risk...
world kept on turning, just as properly as ever. And in that moment, a thought crossed Elisabeth's mind. A thought she couldn't afford to harbor. ...Why should Kaito have to protect a world such as this? Why did the person she loved have to die? Why, for something so worthless? The expression vanished from Elisabeth's ...
was accompanied by a single foolish servant. The boy chose to live a life that would bring about such a tale. But the world betrayed that expectation, and the boy's destiny was radically transformed. It's time for a story of a hero. The world once very nearly met a tragic end. However, that seemingly immutable fate was...

As long as she had vast quantities available for her consumption, she had little reason to inquire about their quality, nor did she have any need to consider the bill that might eventually come due. She could simply make like a swarm of locusts, descending and eating ravenously...
errors. Yet you say you love me still, knowing that love to be folly? Are you people truly that incorrigible?" "Absolutely!" The Saint's cynical, reproachful question was met with a resolute reply. Her mouth hung half-open in exasperation. However, the paladins were undeterred. They puffed up their chests in simple pri...
she saw her face. Long ago, when a solitary genius destroyed the world, atoned, and hated, she probably wore the exact same expression. "Let me tell you something about me, Elisabeth. I was powerless to do anything. Yet for the longest, longest time, I only wanted one single thing—I wanted to protect the world. I can...

But this whole situation was caused by the discrepancies, oppression, and sorrow brought about by the living themselves. Even if you succeed in protecting the world, the grudges caused by those wounds will still fest...
oil. It was as though a black circle had been cut directly out of the desert. Meanwhile, the head was marred by a peculiar-looking scar. It looked like it had been opened wide up, then closed again. Elisabeth stood motionless before the grisly spectacle. She thought back to the quotes from the poem she'd once looked in...
die!" "Randgrof Elephabred! You're alive!" Elisabeth was about to say his name, but Lute beat her to the punch. Randgrof Elephabred. That was Aguina and Satisbarina's son. If beastfolk faces were difficult to tell apart, demi-humans were nigh impossible. However, it would seem their suspicions were true. Upon hearing L...
anger and hopelessness. It told Elisabeth all over again just how deep-seated their hatred of the world was. Now that their rebellion had failed, they were turning all their destructive cravings inward. If she were Kaito Sena, Elisabeth mused, this was where she would try to talk them out of it. There was no doubt in h...

I hope you'll forgive me this impropriety." The words rang with great courtesy as the fist sank squarely into the priest's cheek. His ...
Consider that an order." It wasn't something one would typically expect to hear from the Torture Princess. However, Elisabeth said it knowing full well how ridiculous she sounded. Even in a crisis such as theirs, there were some people whose role it was to survive. This was a battle to secure the future. Everyone there...
her that said, "So what?" Maybe the Sand Queen had suffered more damage than Alice had accounted for. Perhaps that was all there was to it. The problem was, that child really, truly wanted for everyone to all die together. Would a girl that driven really overestimate her toy soldier by such a degree? Elisabeth found th...
comprehend, and although a powered-up Fremd Torturchen numbered among their foes, their side had no mages on par with Kaito Sena. The only ones who could take on foes surpassing the fourteen demons were entities of a similar caliber. Then, right as Elisabeth finished arriving at her conclusion, she heard something. It ...
was majestic and cruel. With it, she laughed off both their tragic resolve and her pained decision. "Very well! If you wish it that dearly, then live as you please, and race on unfettered! Your death is yours to die! Now, be proud, for the Torture Princess rides with you, and laughs at any and all! Onward, I say, onwar...
second. But only for a second. The blob swung its arms even more violently than before. The sweeping blow came hurtling toward the Peace Brigade. With no time nor ability to stop on a dime, four more of them—including the youngster who'd just shouted—got reduced to carrion. "Sure enough, there's no reasoning with i...
brain is more rotten than garbage, please don't hit me I'll do anything I swear so so? I have to say I'm sorry. Until they forgive me. But see, there was one person who said I wasn't bad. So I'm not scared anymore. You promised, remember? You said that I was your daughter. That's right. There was someone who told me st...
from side to side. Just like Alice had once before, she bent one knee and gave Elisabeth an elegant curtsy. "Welcome, Elisabeth. Welcome to Wonderland." It was an odd thing for her to say. After all, she was the person who'd arrived latest out of anyone there. Yet she said it loudly and proudly. Alice was there, and th...
"I shall be the White Rabbit. You shall be Alice. Your goal is to pursue me. I, and I alone, shall fight you all the way to the World's End. If I kill you on the way there, the win is mine. If you kill me and reach the crystal, the win is yours. In exchange, though, you shan't lay a hand on another living soul." "Ah, I...
that looked almost childish, then raised his voice. "Last time, I ran away. I'm done running now. I'm not going anywhere, even if it means I have to stand here alone." The king's declaration echoed across the room. His entourage of high priests and influential nobles exchanged glances with each other. Izabella said not...
that was when the tale of admiration, folly, and love ended, and when the tale everyone built up of repentance, hatred, and dreams began. Or perhaps, it was the story of a young lady left alone and a story of a child who was abandoned, a tale of a woman who was once a monster and a girl who became a monster herself. An...
her...it was as people that we made our choices. And our choice, made freely, was to believe." The paladin's eyes went wide at the unexpected revelation. Normally, the saints had little in the way of free will. However, the Saint's death seemed to have triggered something in them. Now they had found something to believ...
depth of their resolve was plain for Elisabeth to see. However, she raised her voice anyway. "Jeanne, Izabella—this is beyond you. You've done enough!" "You said it yourself once. 'If any dared tell me what to do, I'd lend them no ear.' 'The burden of your choice shall be yours alone to shoulder.' And 'Saving the wor...
precisely why Jeanne loved her so. Tears welled up in Jeanne's eyes, and she clamped them shut. Then she gave up. And as she did, she nervously extended her hand. Earlier, even though she knew how impossible it was given the circumstances, she had dreamed of something beautiful. "Marriage!" "Of course! We'll have a big...
surviving it. However, the Kaiser chose not to put any distance between them. Instead, he leaped, using his lithe muscles to propel his black body in a beautiful arc through the air. He bit down on the White Knight's neck. As Elisabeth clung to the Kaiser's back, she reached out her arm. Then, in unison, they wrenched ...
fingers. And yet in spite of that, Elisabeth wasn't dead. Kaito had swapped out her demonic flesh for completely normal flesh that still generated enough mana to sustain her vital functions. No mere mage could have pulled off a feat like that. At that point, Elisabeth came back to her senses. She lashed out at Kaito Se...
sadistic smile spread across the beautiful woman's face. As she pressed her foot down on the man, she made her bold declaration. "I am the proud wolf and the lowly sow." "I caaaught him." "Excellent work!" As she made her listless announcement, Elisabeth kicked the bound robber forward. The beastfolk responded with the...

For that was when the tale of admiration, folly, and love ended, and when the tale everyone built up of repentance, hatred, and...
