In no time at all, the scales are tipping to our side. Seeing this situation, Abashiri likely regained morale and looked up to appeal after she was lying on the ground writhing in pain. |

"All of you... ! Keep this up, and I will reduce your sentences and grant merits depending on your achievements! I promise you, as the warden of Oshioki Prison, therefore -" |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Please... save Darling, save all of us!" |
![Story Jeran.png](/images/0/09/Story_Jeran.png) Jeran |
"Of course dah~! Helping and protecting Ducky's safety, is Jeran and the other Train Knights job dah~!" |
![Story Volklingen.png](/images/5/55/Story_Volklingen.png) Volklingen |
"...Yes, that's right. That's a pretty good thing to say, you animal." |
Volklingen lets out a sigh of relief as she walked onto the battlefield. The giant demihuman gave her a glance as if asking for help. |
![Story Volklingen.png](/images/5/55/Story_Volklingen.png) Volklingen |
"What's with those eyes? Did you really think that you, who can only dominate others and force them to obey you, had finally met a girl who loves you without a collar?" |
![Story Volklingen.png](/images/5/55/Story_Volklingen.png) Volklingen |
"Too bad, you're dead wrong. I only obeyed you because I was scared of you, wagging my tail like an animal... No one will ever love either of us for the rest of our lives anyway." |
![Story Volklingen.png](/images/5/55/Story_Volklingen.png) Volklingen |
"...At least I thought so. I'm hoping for that possibility, so I'm just as stupid as you too." |
![Story Volklingen.png](/images/5/55/Story_Volklingen.png) Volklingen |
"But to make that 'possibility' a reality, I would never, ever take your side. I might have enjoyed hanging out with you, licking each other's wounds and playing kings, but you know what--?" |
Volklingen smirked fleetingly as she slightly looked up at the giant subhuman who was reaching for her. |
![Story Volklingen.png](/images/5/55/Story_Volklingen.png) Volklingen |
"I'm sorry... Blame yourself for trusting me." |
Then her clenched fist slammed into the giant demihuman's jaw. |
Afterwards... Thanks to the efforts of the other SSS convicts, the incident in Oshioki Prison was quickly resolved. The giant demihuman and the other demihuman goons following it were eliminated. |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"According to our investigations... It seems that the mysterious realm that existed in that underground cavity was a kind of temple to contain dangerous monsters..." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"That giant demihuman has the ability to generate special collars that make others obey it... It seems to have used this to increase its minions, and back then it was a major force that threatened ancient St. Iris... " |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"It's given nickname was Tyrant. The fearsome monster was defeated by the courageous people at the time and sealed deep underground with other demihumans under its command..." |
Conductor |
I wonder why it was only sealed away. Why didn't they just kill it? |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Well... I don't know, because most of the records have been lost, and I don't think the ancient St. Iris people were against the death penalty... They're monsters, and there's no reason to give them mercy... " |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"I wonder if they kept it alive in order to unravel the workings behind the collar, a rare ability that only the Tyrant has... It would be convenient for rulers if they could use that ability themselves..." |
Conductor |
It seems better to think that someone, as opposed to all the elites of that time, thought in that way and secretly sealed the tyrant away... It would make sense that 'the tyrant was sealed up in secret' then, as there is the unnatural lack of records. |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Yeah... If someone personally sealed the tyrant away, he couldn't be found out by those around him... And the records would have been erased as much as possible... " |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Anyway... The seal to the tyrant had weakened over time, and finally lost its functionality completely, on the day when the construction of Oshioki Prison generated the tremors to do so..." |
Conductor |
So the Tyrant was unleashed. Then the demihumans came out of the hole Jeran had dug up, they then wreak havoc on the ground again - and so on. |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Hmm... It's likely that the demihumans were also digging from underground too, and Jeran was just breaking that one last thin layer away... That's why, I'm not going to incriminate her for this... " |
Conductor |
And all of them has done a great job, they've all helped us. I see that as a clean slate, I'd pardon them instantly and get them out of prison. |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"It doesn't work like that... The construction of Oshioki Prison was the consensus of the upper echelons of the SSS, meaning, the top brass of each country... " |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"No matter how much noise me and my Darling make, it is difficult to overturn that decision... The Oshioki Prison will continue to operate as a facility for incarcerating rogue SSS members..." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Of course... I did made that promise, and I'm going to grant amnesty to the children who helped us defeat the Tyrant, to a certain extent - shorter sentences and so on..." |
Conductor |
Well... Obviously, not everything is going to go the way we want it to. |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Yeah... Someone who doesn't think it's 'obvious' would want the Tyrant's ability... No matter how much time goes by, human nature doesn't change much..." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"That's why we need prisons... Because people make mistakes and the world is not always made to suit their best interests..." |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"But... I kind of hope that one day we won't need prisons... Then I could quit being a prison warden and get a permanent job serving my Darling..." |
Conductor |
Just when I thought you're talking seriously, Abashiri, you went into your bad habit to start flirting me so suddenly. |
![Story Abashiri.png](/images/f/f2/Story_Abashiri.png) Abashiri |
"Ufufu... If you don't like that, Darling can personally 'oshioki' me, you know..." |
![Story Volklingen.png](/images/5/55/Story_Volklingen.png) Volklingen |
"......" |
![Story Jeran.png](/images/0/09/Story_Jeran.png) Jeran |
"Fetchy~? What's the matter~, you in a bad mood? In that case, stroke Jeran to soothe yourself dah~ Recommend stroking at the base of the ear dah~♪" |
![Story Volklingen.png](/images/5/55/Story_Volklingen.png) Volklingen |
"Gah, don't come near me, I'm hot and bothered. Conductor and the jailer have been flirting each other behind the bars for a while now, it's pissing me off... I hope they're fucking enjoying themselves, so fun to be free people, eh?" |
![Story Jeran.png](/images/0/09/Story_Jeran.png) Jeran |
"Grrraaagh♪ Jeran is still trapped but rather happy dah~! Thanks to Fetchy's request to the guards, we can now put plants in our room! It feels so good to feel the breath of nature dah~!" |
![Story Volklingen.png](/images/5/55/Story_Volklingen.png) Volklingen |
"Hmph. I didn't want you to puke again, I was merely exercising my basic human rights as a prisoner. I'm not doing it for you, don't get me wrong." |
![Story Jeran.png](/images/0/09/Story_Jeran.png) Jeran |
"Uhuh. Heard from Ducky that Fetchy's mama being in critical condition dah~ is just a lie. You're put in a prison like this because you're really a bad person maybe." |
![Story Jeran.png](/images/0/09/Story_Jeran.png) Jeran |
"But. It doesn't matter if Fetchy is a good a bad person, Jeran is happy that you are kind to her dah~! The warm feelings that were inside Jeran - they will never lie dah~♪" |
![Story Jeran.png](/images/0/09/Story_Jeran.png) Jeran |
"That's why Jeran loves Fetchy so much dah~! ...Snuggle wuggle♪" |
![Story Volklingen.png](/images/5/55/Story_Volklingen.png) Volklingen |
"...You're a weirdo. Yeah whatever, stop clinging to me already, you're so damned annoying!" |
![Story Volklingen.png](/images/5/55/Story_Volklingen.png) Volklingen |
"Fine then. I'd rather be stick in a cramped room with someone who likes me, even if only a little - than with someone who hates me." |
![Story Volklingen.png](/images/5/55/Story_Volklingen.png) Volklingen |
"It makes my shitty life a little bit easier. For now, well, I'll just be happy with what I have... Hmph dah." |
