## Summary

In the morning of March 2nd Crimson searches for a door still standing and then uses one a key to open a dimensional storage room, the hunters surprised to see guns never seen before thinking they're magic gun but Crimson corrects them stating those guns are from another more advanced era but still just guns the fundamental part will be the bullets. Crimson passes the day by enhancing bullets with the lying Ragna's silver aura while the hunters are making practice with the guns in a improvised shooting range. Crimson notices that Ragna is unhappy by guessing that he thinks the hunters are used as pawns by them. Ragna denies that, instead he's unhappy because first he can't do nothing more than lying on the ground and second he felt really awkward when Crimson introduced him as Ragna the Reaper and then the hunters started worshiping him. He doesn't appreciate the worshiping because then they would start following him but that would go against his morals of the only one that can assist him are those who can't die or those whose death he doesn't care. Crimson knows that, it's because of that Ragna decided to go with them and abandoning Leonica but Ragna replies back that isn't any of Crimson business. Crimson instead insists that is their business as Leonica alone forms all of Ragna's motivation to fight and if something happens to her it would affect Ragna too. Ragna admits that he's conflicted, he knows the safest place for Leonica is near him but he also remembers how in the future anyone standing beside him ended up dead. Crimson thanking Ragna to have shared his internal conflict with them then suggest to kidnap Leonica and lock her up in one of their spatial room, by drugging her she'll be safe forever. Before Crimson finishes to talk Ragna tries to hit them but fails because of his muscle fatigues, Crimson responds back by kicking him and states they're perplexed as why he's against such safe plan. Ragna replies that it's because they're an asshole and Crimson takes it as a compliment because it makes Ragna feel better while they're putting him through hell. Crimson concludes that since they met Ragna he has been irritating them by thinking he knows everything about them, they before going somewhere else state that he doen't have to worry they'll kill the 3rd seat dragon and they don't waste pawns. As last thing Crimson corrects Ragna on what it means to be under a real curse and blows their head with a gun. One instant later next to Crimson dead body is standing Crimson alive, the hunters after hearing the shot they run to check on them and be surprised to see Crimson body but Crimson reassures them it's just a magic trick.

Crimson moves the body far away, Slime is waiting for them there to debrief them after having extended one of its eyes far away enough to see the city of Tortiere directly. Crimson rewards Slime with their dead body which mkes Slime extremely happy for such gift then it transforms in a real time map of the city, in the center of the city is located a whirlwind inside which the tempest dragon is hiding while several other dragons are hiding under the city's rubble. Slime also adds that inside the whirlwind there are several women but before Slime finishes to say it Crimson precedes them by saying it themselves because they know him and his methods. Crimson immediately understands the situation, the winged monarch has sent the 3rd seat to keep an eye on the border and to wait there. Crimson knows that they can't say anything about the women to Ragna and the other hunters because they still need time to prepare and they hope they'll last long enough for the dragon to wait them there. Crimson approaching the map made by Slime itself again comes up quickly with a plan and states they'll start in 2 days at sunrise.

Two days later, March 4th, the hunters approach the superior dragon in a truck. The dragon seeing them is pleased by their visit but recognizes it's late for the hostages. The dragon seeing the sun rising wants them to wait for another time but Crimson taunts him easily which triggers the dragon attacking them directly.
