In the land of Deneb, in the throne room—Hakuren speaks: "By the way, it's been 2 days I'm stuck here. You got anything to eat?”

  Erwin says: "What are you talking about? It's been 3 days—he's missing. Let's go find him.”

  Hakuren: "That's true, but what about those guards?”

  Erwin, without saying a word, takes his coat, wears it, and claps loudly.

  Stolen novel; please report.

  A black fog sweeps from right to left, scooping up the two guards with blinding speed before vanishing.

  "Sora, take everything important and get it straight to our lab.”

  Meanwhile, at the gate beyond the world of living—

  The gleaming great katana reveals itself to be Jiho, his eyes glowing with happiness as he enters the realm of _____.

  But he sees someone waiting—Warren. Shocked but staying calm, he says, "What are you? You must be friends with those two.”

  As Jiho accelerates toward Warren, he remains unfazed. Jiho swings his katana, but a shield materializes around Warren. Even under continuous heavy attacks, the shield holds solid.

  Warren speaks calmly: "Being strong doesn't make you invincible. Your death is still written by my hands. You dared to touch our demons—though you look like one, that small divine scent reeking off you pisses me off.”

  Warren claps loudly. The ground shakes as he whispers, "Dance with me, Chains of Justice.”
