Galak, who had entered the dining hall, distorted and warped his neurotic looking face, and his eyes were bloodshot.
His breathing was also rough.
What he wore was still the Magician’s Guild’s robe but it was torn in several places and was tattered, and on his hands, blood was blotted.
He talked with a trembling voice.
「Ce, Celes-sama! Celes-sama……A, about last night, could you give it a second thought!? Isn’t that just strange!? Why do I, who did the right thing, have to leave the Magician’s Guild!?」
The two escorts prepared their staves and came out in front.
Celes replied with a composed voice.
「Just as I’ve explained many time, you did something incorrect, understand?」
「That’s strange! That’s just strange, isn’t it!? The capable me, fired!? That’s some kind of mistake! S, since it’s some kind of mistake……I went and p, punished the people that tried to strip me of my robe and tried to tell them the truth……But, they, they kept on going on about the lie that I was fired……」
「Punished? Is everyone of the Magician’s Guild alright?」
Celes frowned.
Rem thought that considering it was her, that was a stern facial expression.
Galak shouted.
「Please worry about me! R, rude things were done to me, twice, by th, that, insane Demon! Even though I only tried to offer to keep that inappropriate guy away from Rem-sama! Why is it that you don’t worry about me and worry about those small fry that are of lower status that me!?」
His countenance changed in a hurry.
Even his eyes kept on swimming.
It was obvious that the balance of his mind was breaking.
Celes stood up.
「First of all, please calm down. Let’s have a nice and calm talk, okay?」
「I am calm! The one that’s strange is you, isn’t it!?」
It was a remarkably loud voice.
Probably judging that they couldn’t overlook this anymore, the two escorts closed the distance.
「Oi, Galak! Behave yourself!」
「We’ll push you out to the state knights!」
Galak was at his wits’ end.
「Strange……It’s strange! Everyone, they’re all strange! Ahh, I knew that what that person said was right! Both my talent and my magnificence can’t be understood by such petty beings!」
Galak pulled something out from around his waist.
Rem thought it was the crystal of a Summoned Beast.
She felt sorry thinking about the damages to the inn, but in order to return fire, Rem stretched her hand out to her own crystal.
However, what Galak had in his hand was a dagger.
It was an eerily black bladed dagger.
Rem felt the inside of her chest gradually getting hot. She felt a suspicious presence in the dagger Galak held.
——I don’t know what it is but……That’s dangerous!
While being cautious, the two escorts approached Galak.
「You’ve got to stop!」
「Don’t expose anymore disgraceful behaviour!」
Galak glared at his former colleagues.
「You’re too bossy even though you’re small fry! Don’t come near me!」
He raised the dagger overhead.
Rem grabbed Celes with one hand and stopped her as she tried to step up to him.
「……You shouldn’t approach him……He’s already no longer sane.」
Galak shouted.
「No longer sane!? The one that’s no longer sane isn’t me, it’s you! The ones that are strange are you people of the Magician’s Guild, and this world, right!? Why is it that the correct, capable me doesn’t get favorable treatment!? Why am I not highly valued!? It’s strange! Strange! Strange! It’s definitely, strange! That’s why!!」
On the black blade of the dagger he held, there was an eyeball attached that looked like it were alive.
Unbelievably, that eyeball was moving about.
