Yuri looked around nervously. “Don’t be deceived by their appearances. These children are demons. They’ve been fabricating crimes that don’t exist and condemning me for a long time. Don’t you think it’s a terrible story? I’ve had enough. I want to be released.” The man collapsed to the ground in tears. (He does seem very pitiful... but I can't imagine this man killing a hundred children.) “Please, release me. Just say the words.” The man pleaded pathetically while crying to Yuri. “I…” She was about to speak, but the children looked up at her sadly. “What is your goal? Do you want to keep this man trapped in the card forever?” “Yes, that’s right.” “Because we’re angry.” “We wanted to grow up, but we couldn’t.” “Because of him.” “Because of him.” “Could it be that he killed you?” Despite feeling a chill, Yuri asked. “Yes, that’s right.” “Lies! Lies! Don’t believe them! I would never kill children like these. I had no reason to. I only killed one person.” The man crawled to Yuri’s feet. “Please, release me. I beg you. I beg you.” (Which one is telling the truth? I want to believe the children, but… this man also seems so pitiful…) Yuri’s heart wavered. “I beg you. Please…” The man cried and stood up. “Say that you’ll release me. If you say that, everything will end. These demons will vanish.” Yuri looked at the children. They appeared to be ordinary children. Their eyes even seemed clear. “I can’t believe these children are demons.” The man's eyebrows twitched, and his hands suddenly wrapped around Yuri’s neck. “Guh!” “What a stupid woman. Just say it. I’m telling you to say it!” The man’s tone suddenly changed. It seemed the children were telling the truth. “No…” Yuri struggled to speak while being strangled. “If you don’t say it, you’ll die!” Just as she felt the pressure on her neck tighten, it suddenly loosened. The man’s wrists were detached from his body, and the hands that were strangling her fell away. “Gyaaaaaa!” The man writhed in pain, but there was no blood. Beside him stood a knight holding a sword.
