Despite being from the Soma Familia and accustomed to darkness and filth, the girl still underestimated her captain or, rather, the character of her Familia comrades. After spending a month selling all her sellable items to gather the ransom, she planned to leave the Familia today and become free. Even after withdrawing the money from the bank, she chose streets patrolled by the Ganesha Familia's guards. Yet, she was still dragged into an alley with her mouth covered.
Her kidnappers were unfamiliar faces. But Liliruca wasn't a fool; she immediately guessed who was behind them. Unfortunately, knowing didn't change anything. "What do you want?" she asked, but received no answer. The assailants simply took her bag and extracted the farlis inside. "Aren't you afraid of 'Braver's' retaliation?!" At this, the assailants paused. The leader sneered. "The big shots up there don't care about us rats living in the gutter."
Indeed. In her eagerness, Liliruca had forgotten such a simple truth. She even told 'Braver' not to lend her money to leave a good impression. If only she hadn't given up on becoming an adventurer earlier, if she had persevered... But there's no medicine for regret in this world. One wrong step leads to another. When Liliruca's limbs were broken, and her left chest pierced, her fate seemed sealed. Darkness gradually engulfed her consciousness. Silence, yet with a hint of peace.
"...So, this is why you brought back a problem you couldn't solve yourselves?" In the chaos, a somewhat familiar young male voice reached Liliruca's ears. Following it was a bold-sounding girl's voice. "Don't say it like that~ We had no choice, right?" "Heh—" "Aris, say less. And sorry, I did try to persuade her." "...Ha." After a moment, the young man's sigh was heard, "Fine, when I brought you down, I was mentally prepared. After all, as members of a Familia of justice, if we were indifferent to an injured person on the roadside, I'd be more worried." "So, you forgive us?" "Just this once."
