“Damn, what a pity!”
2nd panel:
“No, actually.. I’m not exactly trying to cheer for that noblewoman…”

“If we kill him…”
3rd panel:
“We…”
“What we are doing now… Is it still an act of justice?”
“Ah…”
4th panel:
“Justice or not, it’s already not important!”

Page 13
1st panel:
“At the start, they should’ve…”
“Just acted as common evil-doers.”

“….”
“I’ve only heard of this just now…”
2nd panel:
“That man who seems to be leading these people…”
“Has met with quite a few problems.”
3rd panel:
“It’s not as if his child can be saved if I didn’t embezzle the money, right?”
<That’s absurd.>
“Of course he’ll still die.”
“But it’s not as simple as that.”

Page 16
1st panel:
[In fact…]
[Even if the embezzled funds were put to use appropriately…]
[The amount distributed to each citizen]
[would probably be just one grain of wheat...]
2nd panel:
[But… If he had managed to eat that one grain of wheat…]
[He would live a little longer because of that one grain.]
3rd panel:
4th panel:
[And he’ll be able to…]
[Hear his child speak for a little longer.]

Page 17
1st panel:
[What his child might have said could give him a chance to pick himself up.]
[Even though it’s painful, it’ll gradually turn into a fond memory.]

“It would seem like the first half of the duel has started to take a toll on you.”
3rd panel:
“Forcing yourself to keep on fighting in an environment you’re not familiar with…”

{And caused the attack…}
{To get deflected!?}
“Urgh!”
4th panel:

“Clang!”

Page 25

{Could it be…}
“Huff!”
“Huff!”

“My grandfather…”
<Huff!>
<Huff!>
5th panel:
“When he was supressing the civil war in your country…”

“Huff!”

Page 26
1st panel:
[The first is the title of “Noble Flame”. The second is the treasured sword, the “Noble Flame”.]
[And lastly…]
2nd panel:
[When met with an attack by a child soldier on the streets, my grandfather had no choice but to kill him.]
[The late king then conferred him with defensive swordsmanship..] (TN: I don’t know what she’s saying here either, maybe the king allowed him to learn how to defend with his sword?)

{The “left hand”… is faster!}

“Slide!”
3rd panel:
“Slide!”

3rd panel:
“Don’t worry! There’s the lieutenant and the others!”
4th panel:
“Besides, didn’t we just dispatch a messenger to give them some sort of secret plan?”
“Isn’t that right, Captain?”
5th panel:
6th panel:
“Why would there be a secret plan?”
