00:37:52,820 who joined the Scarlet Guard with me 770 00:37:52,860 --> 00:37:54,140 died from missions or tortures. 771 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,530 Sometimes, I had to go to the ice spring for

00:38:58,630 --> 00:39:01,080 He was born and raised in riches 796 00:39:01,430 --> 00:39:03,890 and he grew into a playboy. 797 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:06,810 When he first joined the Asura Path, 798 00:39:07,130 --> 00:39:09,230 he flirted with every female officer. 799 00:39:09,580 --> 00:39:11,200 I had to follow him every day 800 00:39:11,220 --> 00:39:12,450 to clean up his messes. 801 00:39:13,290 --> 00:39:15,840 I also got whipped by the chief with him every day. 802 00:39:16,660 --> 00:39:17,690 Then gradually, 803 00:39:18,050 --> 00:39:19,300 he accepted me as his brother. 804
