Kaito:  According to Elisabeth, they’d been made from the pelts of powerful mages, and the patterns woven within served to ward off the cold. Given all the measures they’d taken, the inside of the hut was surprisingly warm. With no need to worry about the cold, Kaito and the others sat cross-legged as they talked. “After that, we went back to Elisabeth’s castle for a bit. But the Butcher had already been…” As he relayed his story to Lute, Kaito cast a number of furtive glances to the side.

Jeanne:  Jeanne was sitting in the corner hugging her knees under the watchful eyes of several guards. Her hip adornments interfered with her ability to sit, so she’d done away with them, but as a result, she was practically naked from the waist down. If they hadn’t been beastfolk, her guards would have likely been at a loss for where to look.

Jeanne:  “If confining me in name alone will satisfy you, then do as you wish. But if a couple of nobodies guarding me will put your minds at ease, then you’re all a bunch of dumb shits. Looks like living till old age just ain’t in the cards for ya.” Her words had evoked no small amount of displeasure from the beastfolk. On the other hand, she did have a point. Locking her up would accomplish little. It took a thief to catch a thief, and it took a Torture Princess to stand up to a Torture Princess. Even so, they didn’t want to upset the beastfolk any more than they already had. Having been given strict instructions by everyone to say nothing, Jeanne was currently sitting in silence.

Kaito:  Next, Kaito had dispelled Vlad’s phantasm and thought back to the complaint Vlad had lodged.

Vlad:  “Hold on now, my dear successor. Lumping me in with her and getting rid of me as well is rather unjust, no? Respect might not be either of our strong suits, but we are different people, I’ll have you know. Hmm? ‘Did you forget all that you said back in the beastfolk village?’ Good heavens, is a man forbidden from enjoying a smart remark now and again? But very well. I am a dead man, after all; being forgotten about seems appropriate enough.”

Kaito:  Now that I think about it, was he being sarcastic back then? Eh, whatever. Kaito then turned his focus back to the exposition he was giving to Lute. At long last, the story reached the point where they’d arrived at the World’s End. “…And so basically, we ended up flying here.”

Lute:  “I…see. I must admit, it all seems rather implausible.” Apparently at a loss for words, Lute stroked his chin. He had just gotten a huge amount of information dumped in his lap. Kaito could certainly appreciate his bewilderment. After all, the entire story felt almost surreal.
