63.
After the party, everyone went to sleep.
Akane was in her bed, hoping it was midnight.
She wanted to at least give Ren a recovery potion, her mind was in a loop with Ren's cries of pain.
she wanted to bring him a potion so that he doesn't suffer anymore, and escape from these disgusting things that are considered human.
that was the plan.
she had silenced her footsteps, heading for the kitchen.
When she was about to open the door, she heard a voice.
- Do you think I forgot about you?
Akane froze, turning around she saw Bernard sitting on a chair.
-I knew there was something weird, that bastard showing himself like that, he was not so superficial according to reports.
-so I thought, why would he become like this, and I remembered that my ex-fiancée was his p! "$$-
Bernard stopped talking because he had to dodge a dagger that was aimed at his face.
this time Akane was using normal daggers, she couldn't show her artifacts.
but she really wanted to kill Bernard.
No.
she was going to do it.
Akane ran towards him and slashed at her neck.
Bernard lost his balance in surprise, he was in a bad position to dodge.
Akane aimed this time at her heart, she wanted to kill him herself, even if they later condemn her and die.
he'll walk away knowing he killed this bastard.
A small pressurized air shield appeared, breaking the dagger.
Akane backed away immediately and was about to run into the kitchen and use the stones to get out of here with ren, but he stopped moving too.
- so there is more than one eh?
Bernard held his chest, he was sweating cold, and he hardly counted
- It was bad that your greed for more achievements blinded you, young Bernard.
- If I hadn't waited to come here, you would have died.
Bernard nodded and said nothing, before leaving, he took one last look at Akane.
- So, the sister of the heiress of the house Scarlett sneaked in the same way, who would say?
-That brat, not even if they ripped out his nails from all over her body, said something, she had said that she did it alone, whatever.
- shade.
A black hooded man appeared.
- Search her and take her to the room, unlike the brat, if we touch her, the Scarlett house will not leave us alone and they could even make war.
the shadow only nodded at his master.
The duke laughed as he imagined the reward he would receive for rescuing that girl.
Akane lost all of her valuables from her ring and was taken to the freezer in the kitchen.
it was a spacious room for a momentary tent.
and as she entered it, what greeted her was the smell of blood.
there was blood on the walls, and even more on the floor, the whole place looked like it was taken from a scary movie.
and there in the middle of everything you could see ren, with his head bowed, it seems that he was sleeping.
all over his body up to his hair, there was dried blood.
even though he was dripping drops of blood from the chair, he was in a pair of pants without any tops.
His body was covered in horrible wounds, his fingernails had been ripped out, and the blood had already coagulated.
the shadow when seeing the work of his companions, nor blink.
Although he was a bit surprised that there was so much blood in a young man's body, he guessed that they used recovery potions to continue the torture process when they ran out of room in the young man's body to work with.
Akane was placed in a chair across from him and they closed the kitchen store.
Akane was very cold, but ren that he had lost all that blood, despite being awakened, it must be worse.
after a long time in his life.
She was shocked to see Ren's bloodied body with his head down.
She saw Ren's tired body, now she didn't see her sensei with her usual calm smile and attitude.
she saw a man go through hell in her body, and never ratted her out despite it being her fault he was found out.
Akane began to cry at the top of her lungs in regret.
her screams couldn't be heard outside her, since they had closed the warehouse.
but Akane cleared her throat with her screams, she couldn't stop even though her lungs ached.
she felt that if she didn't let go of everything now, her heart couldn't take it.
in fact, her heart couldn't take it, her physical pain in her lungs somehow calmed the pain in her heart a little, but it wasn't enough.
after at least 2 more hours of crying, her voice couldn't take it anymore.
but she still had a runny nose.
*sniff.
*sniff.
ren who was the calmest sleeping cool opened his eyes.
she saw Akane crying in front of him, although she already had an idea of the situation, I hope they didn't do anything to her.
and to make sure, with a calm voice I ask him.
" are you OK?.
Akane hearing that, recognized Ren's question, then looked at him and saw him looking confused still dripping blood from his chin.
Akane got a second wind and cried more.
"Please shut up, you won't let me sleep Akane.
-Sensei!
Akane stood up with everything and chair and thus tied up she ran and tackled Ren.
The blow made Ren fall to the ground with everything and the chair.
" what the hell is wrong with you?
Ren said as he lay on his back with Akane's cheek next to him.
- Sensei!
Ren sighed, meanwhile he took his hand from his back and moved Akane's chair, and cut the ropes that blocked her hands.
Akane, once she let go, hugged Ren on the ground and continued crying.
Ren sighed, as he stroked Akane's head trying to get her to let go of everything and calm down.
he had expected this result as well.
Naomi had told him that if they were discovered, Ren would tell him and hope they would leave him alone to use the escape stone.
Naomi made him memorize said important information.
so they don't torture him.
ren nearly snorted at this level of concern.
but it was not necessary to say all the information, it was only necessary to act.
when they brought him here, he had exploited the pain inhibitors, so as not to feel anything.
he was risky, but without pain, it was easier to act.
Once brought here, he spouted lies.
Of course, for a good lie to work, he said 90% lies and 10% truth.
he did say some base locations, but he didn't say there was massive security inside.
he gave names of people, those people existed, but they were not from this era.
he first feigned fear when they showed him a knife.
he pretended he was scared to death and blurted out random things.
when they tortured him, he begged for mercy and forced his voice as best he could.
After all, if you've already experienced something once, it's easier to fake it the second time.
although after 2 hours, he couldn't control his voice, and he had no pain.
he didn't realize that his throat began to bleed.
the torturers took that sign as having just squeezed him after using at least 2 recovery potions and left him with a bloody throat.
Although Ren felt nothing, he must admit that the Duke's men are quite creative when it comes to torture.
he had planned to make use of his experience later.
After calming Akane down, she didn't want to part with Ren at all.
she counted things while she hugged him.
Although Akane skipped her almost murder of Bernard for fear of Ren's rejection, she did say that they took all her things.
even the escape stone.
Ren sighed, he might escape after all.
Ren had his ring, to Ren's luck, and Ren's confusion.
when they checked it, they didn't find the ring.
Ren got scared, he couldn't lose all the things he had inside.
especially the limited brand bacon he bought in the capital.
he had queued all day just to get it.
When he finished the torture, Ren looked at his hand and saw the ring back.
sigh, he found out that this ring is also hidden.
Ren told Akane to do what he does not say anything, tonight they leaked gas in the boss's doors if they are not mistaken, he should weaken him and tomorrow they will enter to fight.
Akane nodded but didn't let Ren go.
It took a long time for Ren to convince Akane to stay in the chair.
but they did not return before without eating.
Ren recovered from his injuries quickly, thanks to [stamina recovery].
the bad thing is that that also makes him extremely hungry.
he was quite hungry.
and he ate with Akane at the store.
Akane seriously wondered how Ren could eat while he was surrounded by blood and covered in blood as well.
but strangely, she didn't realize that she wasn't disgusted by the blood around her.
she felt the same as always while he ate some chicken.
.

What woke Ren and Akane up was the door opening, where Duke Holland entered.
they were already "tied up" in their chairs.
-um, it seems that my boys were nicer to you than expected.
he said as he approached ren's chair.
- or you're just a snitch.
-You are not a dungeon hero.
- you're just a common brat with some luck.
- tell me, where is your courage?
Ren kept his head down, he didn't say a word.
-tch, you're not good enough to waste my time.
before leaving, I call out to the white-fang leader.
- You will take care of taking them when we go to exterminate the boss.
- This brat will serve as bait.
- to the girl, that she is warm, it is not necessary to have problems with the Scarlett house.
the duke smirked as he knocked out Akane and ren.
when Akane woke up, he was with chains on his hands, and next to him was Duke Holland, under an illusion of a magician to camouflage himself with the surroundings.
more in the distance was ren.
he was tied with his back to a wooden stake.
he was in his pants, without any upper garment.
facing the path to the boss room.
When Akane saw what they were planning, she started to panic and scream.
Zaff covered the mouth of this noisy brat, he didn't want them to alert the monster to her presence, but he wanted her to see the death of her boyfriend.
When everyone was in position, Duke Holland pressed a button.
and a huge explosion was heard.
The door was open, and footsteps began to be heard.
With each step, the earth shook.
Ren who was sleeping woke up with tremors.
'Perhaps one cannot sleep without being disturbed by tremors!?
Opening her eyes, she realized her situation.
and she couldn't help cursing.
not being tied up semi-naked.
since the cold now hardly affected him, he felt cool rather.
the problem was that if she ran away and left Akane alone with these noble pigs, it would be troublesome for Rose.
I waited to see that she arrived so I could know if there was a way to distract him.
The first thing she saw on the way down the stairs were reptilian eyes.
along with an incredible scream.
it was a wyvern.
a giant ice wyvern.
everything around froze, including the stake where ren was hanging.
and the ice lifted him into the air.
Ren thanked his luck that he landed in the snow.
what he didn't appreciate was that the wyvern could feel the heat signal.
and he sensed the location of the humans.
-everyone attack!
Zaff yelled and rained down all kinds of attacks on the wyvern.
Akane had been tied to a nearby tree, she was passed out.
luckily ren.
He started running trying to get around the guild members as he took out his hunter outfit.
when he felt the wyvern looking at him, he ran faster.

In heaven, Gabriel was reading a book about human history.
he didn't stop looking for something since he ren stuck his tongue down her throat.
---
hold.
hey author.
(that)
How do you say that about a girl?
(Gabriel is thousands of years old, she can't count as a girl)
I don't care, change that.
(as you say)
.
.
.
In heaven, Gabriel was reading a book about human history.
Ever since Ren gave him his first kiss, he hasn't stopped thinking about him.
Uriel who saw was going to the celestial library, saw his younger sister there looking at the history of humans.
What are you reading sister?
"um? oh hello sister Uriel, I was reading about human history, searching about the feeling I got from seeing one.
-Did you feel?
"Yes, I came in contact with a human and -
-How did you come into contact with a human? Don't you know that it's forbidden?
"I know sister, but-
- Nothing but, angels are beings on another plane, humans can't even see our faces.
" That's what I mean.
-hm?
"That human could see me.
- How could he see you?
"That's what I want to find out sister.
-It is impossible for a human to see you, so he is not human.
"I don't think it's that sister, he had the aura of a human, but...
-but?.
"I had a scent with him.
- What did we say about smells, Gabriel?
"I know, but that smell was similar to yours.
- hm? I don't remember visiting humans in at least 500 years.
"Do you remember that 100 years ago you went hunting?
- Oh yes, recently, what do you have?
"When you came back, I could smell you and I felt the same scent on him.
-eh!?, That boy was one of those lizards? where is he!?, we have to hunt him down.
"As I tell you, sister, that child was human, or maybe he is one or...
- meet one.
" exact
- very intelligent Gabriel.
Uriel said as he patted Uriel on the head, and she wrinkled her nose.
- We will have to watch that human.
"I'm on that, don't worry, now he's in a dungeon and-
What interrupted Gabriel was the moment when Ren was being tortured.
Ren's brain felt nothing, but his body felt everything and that information reached Gabriel.
-Gabriel? Gabriel!?.
Uriel shrugged his sister's shoulders.
"I'm sorry, he's, he's in pain right now.
- who?
" the human.
-...
- lend me your connection, it will be bad for you to feel this.
Gabriel agreed, he didn't feel the pain, but he felt the agony going through Ren's body.
he couldn't help but sweat.
When he took his sister's hand and passed him the connection, Uriel didn't flinch, he had a calm look as he commented.
-This is typical of humans.
"What do you mean sister?
- Humans are the only race among the 4 that harm their own people for petty things.
- The greed of humans never ceases to amaze me, they reach the point of harming a child to obtain information.
Gabriel could not feel or see anything, he could only hear his sister.
- ho, this guy is interesting.
" What do you mean?
-Despite the pain in his body, he is lying to those men.
" It's possible?
- for a common human no.
Uriel, seeing Gabriel's confused look, continued speaking.
-I mean pain in humans, it is quite common for a human to want to avoid pain, and if he feels it, he will do his best to avoid it.
-The boy is in great pain right now, and that does not take away his courage and determination to protect the information they want, which a normal human would have already sung.
"sung?
-ha..., he would have already said everything they want as long as they stop hurting him.
"Oh.
"By the way sister.
-Yes?.
"Could you watch him a little more, I want to see what he will do.
- Sure, I'm free right now and I find this human interesting.
- Could you go home and make cookies and chocolate?
"Sister, won't you gain weight if you keep doing it?
- Angels don't get fat.
"ha..., I'll do your favorites then.
- I thank you, Gabriel.
while Gabriel left and went home.
Uriel stared at Ren in the dungeon as he thought.
'a human capable of making plans while they continue to break his flesh and heal him if humans are crueler to each other.
