When Ryu arrived at the church, he found Bolt with a guard in tow, who was making a lot of noise.
Ryu [What do you want?]
Guard [Are you Ryu? Hey, arrest him !]
The guards surround Ryu and point their spears at him.
Ryu [Arrest me? What the hell am I under arrest for?”
Guard [For assault and extortion yesterday. In the alley ahead, you were taking money from passersby as “tolls,” weren’t you? And to top it off, you assaulted four men who came to stop you.]
Did they come here to talk to the thugs who had been caught yesterday, and then, on the contrary, to frame him for the crime, with the intention of ingratiating themselves with the four night butterflies?
Ryu pI don’t know what you are talking about, the story is all backwards, I just punished the four guys who were doing the extortion.]
Bolt [I won’t be fooled by such lies.]
Ryu [For the most part, you’re already wanted. For taking bribes from criminal organizations. I’m sure the Third Guard is on its way to arrest you right now.]
Bolt [W-what nonsense ! You’re not fooling anyone ! What are you doing
! Get him the hell out of here !]
But in the next instant, all the guards surrounding Ryu collapsed, losing consciousness. Ryu’s carotid artery block.
It was pitiful to kill these soldiers who were only doing what they were ordered to do, so the blood flow was quickly released. The soldiers who regained consciousness did not know what had happened, and when Bolt impatiently tried to grab Ryu again, he became unconscious again, so eventually the men gave up and there was nothing left to move.
[What are you doing ! You’re useless people, I’ll finish you off if with this ! !]
Bolt drew his sword and slashed at him.
However, the leg that took the first step was not strong enough, and Bolt fell down as it was. Bolt also lost consciousness as the blood flow in his carotid artery was stopped.
Just then, Golan and the third security team arrived.
Before heading to the church, Ryu had asked Doug to go get Golan, and had teleported him to the Third Guard’s station.
Bolt, who immediately regained consciousness after the blood flow was unblocked, shouted when he saw Golan and the others.
Bolt [What are you doing here, you know this is out of your jurisdiction ! But you might as well arrest this guy !]
Golan [No, you’re the one who should be arrested, Bolt.]
Bolt [What?!]
Golan [The boss of the Four Night Butterflies has confessed everything. It’s outrageous that the captain of a security force would cozy up to a criminal organization !]
The members of the Third Guard’s station surround Bolt.
Bolt [These guys must be in league with criminals too ! You guys, get these guys !]
Bolt calls out to the first guard, but they are perplexed and do not move. Then, Golan spread out a piece of parchment for the men to see.
Golan [This is an official arrest warrant for Bolt from his Highness ! Anyone who resists will be considered a criminal and will be arrested !]
None of the troopers made a move.
Bolt [Shrriieeek ! !]
Bolt pulls out his sword and shows resistance. He is a man with a bad temper. It would be a pity if the men who were seizing him got hurt, so Ryu took away Bolt’s consciousness once again.
After he collapsed unconscious, Bolt was captured and taken away.

He was later told that both Bolt and the boss of the Four Night Butterflies ended up being convicted of death. (Ryu never heard the boss’s name, but he was told that his name really was ‘Boss’.)
But for some reason, the boss didn’t want to be beheaded, crying, and it was approved to hang him. It was a little surprising to Ryu that he was so traumatized by having his head cut off.

The day after Bolt was arrested.
The threat of the Four Night Butterflies to Border town is gone, and the church/orphanage is safe for the time being.
The slum will be a battle between the two remaining crime syndicates for territory now that the Four Night Butterflies are gone, but now that there is room for a turf war, they will not be heading out for a while.
As usual, Ryu brought snacks to the church and had tea with the sister, when Leila, a receptionist at the Adventurers’ Guild, came to visit him.
She said that since Ryu had not been coming to the Adventurers’ Guild for a long time, she had been sent by Catherine, the acting Guild Master, to call him again.
Although it had only been three days since they had parted, Catherine said that the situation was that urgent.
Although he felt it was a little troublesome, Ryu decided to visit the Adventurers’ Guild with Leila.

Ryu was taken to the Guild Master’s room.
The conversation began with an apology for what the former Guild Master had done, but Ryu said that there was no point in having Catherine apologize.
Ryu [Shouldn’t the person who should apologize be Daniel, the one who did the deed? No matter how many times you bow down, the person himself will not be sorry.]
Catherine says it’s only natural, and sends Daniel.
Daniel came with a weak, thin smile on his face, and when he came in front of Ryu, he got down on his knees and began to apologize.
Daniel had been severely punished and was now effectively a slave in the Adventurers’ Guild.
It was only natural.
If Daniel had handled the situation properly, there would have been no problem in the first place.
He was the kind of Guild Master who would not have dealt with Ryu’s complaint that he had been robbed by a senior adventurer.
He was somewhat relieved to see Daniel get down on his knees, but he was still annoyed that the guild, as an organization, had kept such a person.
As a representative of the guild, Catherine apologized for this.
Truly, if things continue as they are, the Adventurers’ Guild will go out of business.
There are no more adventurers, and there are almost no more requests. At this rate, the Adventurers’ Guild in this town may close its doors in the near future.
But to prevent that from happening, Catherine said she would remedy what was wrong with the guild.
Catherine spoke earnestly about the raison d’etre and necessity of the Adventurers’ Guild, and appealed for its continued existence.
She was not in a position to decide whether or not the Adventurers’ Guild should continue to exist, no matter how much she pleaded with Ryu, but there was no doubt that Ryu was the key person in creating the current situation.
Catherine asked Ryu to help the Adventurers’ Guild to survive.
Catherine thought that if Ryuujin became their ally, it would be possible to turn the situation around.
