00:39:28,820 who joined the Scarlet Guard with me 771 00:39:28,860 --> 00:39:30,140 died from missions or tortures. 772 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,530 Sometimes, I had to go to the ice spring for

00:40:34,630 --> 00:40:37,080 He was born and raised in riches 797 00:40:37,430 --> 00:40:39,890 and he grew into a playboy. 798 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,810 When he first joined the Asura Path, 799 00:40:43,130 --> 00:40:45,230 he flirted with every female officer. 800 00:40:45,580 --> 00:40:47,200 I had to follow him every day 801 00:40:47,220 --> 00:40:48,450 to clean up his messes. 802 00:40:49,290 --> 00:40:51,840 I also got whipped by the chief with him every day. 803 00:40:52,660 --> 00:40:53,690 Then gradually, 804 00:40:54,050 --> 00:40:55,300 he accepted me as his brother. 805
