�I�m here to get a dagger.�won�t you hand it over to me?�It�s not something you should have.�

Verdi�s eyes went wild.

�Who is your brother who wants this?�I don�t think you�re from here, but get out of here before I report it!�

With the exception of the port city of Dormica, no strangers were allowed to enter North Eymond.

�Two people have already died.�Better hand it over to me before the number of deaths increases.�

�He deserved to die!�They are my mother����and me����!�

Tears welled up in Verdi�s eyes.

�Never give up!�Without this, you will have to live in hell again!�No, I won�t!�

�The name of that dagger is <Defense>.�

Just knowing his name made me feel deprived.

�It�s hard to explain to you, but it�s like magic.�Twist causality to cause murder.�It is a vicious weapon that has killed countless people since a very long time ago.�

�It�s nasty����.�

�There is a world of difference between just wanting to kill and really killing.�However, there is no difference in <Slaughter>.�

Verdi hurriedly hid the dagger.

�It doesn�t matter if it�s nasty.�This knife saved her mother�s life.�She didn�t protect our family from anyone!�

Sirone nodded.

�I know you did your best.�Because <Defense> must be really earnest to activate.�You wanted to protect your family, right?�

�Huh.�uhhhhhhh.�

Verdi sobbed.

�I really had no intention of killing him.�i really����I just want to protect her mother����.�

�okay.�But <Slayer> is not as nice as you.�So let�s stop here.�If this happens again, then it will be you, not Carl.�

Sirone stroked Verdi.

�You cannot protect your family with anger.�If you depend on this heinous thing, you lose something really important.�

Verdi burst into tears with a terrified face.

�Aww!�mom!�Mama!�

�����.�

Raising the child�s wrist, Sirone grabbed the blade of the dagger and carefully retrieved the <Defense>.
