“Sir Ur. What shall we do?”
Shizuku asked. Her eyes held a hint of anxiety. It was immediately clear that she was worried about the knights being injured right before their eyes. Ur nodded in agreement.
“Either way, we can’t just stand here and watch. Let’s lend a hand—”
“We’ve been waiting for you.”
“—Whoa!?”
A third voice interrupted their conversation. Startled, Ur turned around to find a woman dressed as a servant standing behind him and Shizuku, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.… Read more

Chapter 2: The Attack of the Dead
The Island Devouring Turtle is a mobile fortress used throughout the Greed Territory.

“You’re not used to traveling, I heard that beforehand, but you need to report any injuries. That’s basic. Glenn would kill you if he found out.”
“I’m sorry.”
After efficiently treating her, Ur scolded Shizuku thoroughly. Sitting formally, Shizuku listened earnestly, though it was unclear how much she truly understood.
Managing her was difficult because she had an unusual sensibility—she placed no value on herself.
Though she acted reasonably understanding in conversation, she had a bad habit of prioritizing things other than herself at critical moments.… Read more

After a while…
“Phew! That was scary.”
Fortunately, the Plakio seemed to have low perception. It slowly plucked leaves from the nearby trees and leisurely wandered off. After it was gone, Ur and Shizuku crawled out from the crevice.
“We made it, huh?”
“Let’s not let our guard down yet. There aren’t many places to hide here.”
Ur shook his head at Shizuku’s words. This place was a narrow path sandwiched between towering cliffs.… Read more

*Great Sin City-State of Greed – Tavern [The Hideout of the Greedy]

Prologue
“I’m sorry.”
No matter who looked at it, “she” was not at fault.
She was undoubtedly running around more than anyone else present, doing everything she could. She raised her voice to give instructions, guiding those who were lost and encouraging those who were exhausted. Without hesitating for even a moment, she continued working despite being soiled with blood and filth. While others collapsed from exhaustion, she worked almost without rest, and on top of that, remained attentive to everyone around her.… Read more

EX – A Nameless Group’s Prayer
In the western district of the Sin City, Greed, the tavern known as “The Hideout of the Greedy” was usually bustling with adventurers who drank, feasted, and enjoyed themselves. But today, it was unusually quiet.
“Aww, they really left, didn’t they?”
The normally noisy and lively tavern had a subdued atmosphere. The rowdy adventurers who usually reveled in their drinks seemed unusually somber. The reason was clear:
“They’re really something, huh?… Read more

Final Chapter
In Front of the Main Gate of the Sin City State of Greed
It was a clear, sunny day.
The sun god was high in the sky, shining brightly upon the land. Ur stretched his body, soaking up the sunlight, and exhaled deeply.
“What a beautiful day.”
“Indeed, it is,”
Shizuku responded with a smile, and Ur nodded in agreement.
“A perfect day for a journey.”
They had both earned their bronze rings.… Read more

After a few more conversations, Diz left with Akane, citing work. Though it was sad to see Akane go, it was better to send her home early from a tavern filled with drunkards.
“Hey, Ur! You survived!”
one of the drunks approached, slurring his words.
“Nana, you’re as bad with alcohol as ever,”
Her face was flushed red, and she was dressed lightly, revealing patches of skin. She held a bottle in each hand, looking quite a mess.… Read more

If Orlok decided not to seek revenge, it could lead to the group splitting up.
“That woman really had to pull that stunt…”
Even knowing it was venting, he couldn’t help but think that way. He pondered if there was any way to cleanly resolve everything, when suddenly…
“Excuse me. Honored members of the Red Ogre.”
It was then that Shizuku herself appeared before them, boldly stepping in through the tavern door, accompanied by their fellow boy.… Read more
