Chapter 92

Staked Reputation  (Japanese: 賭けられた信望, Kakerareta Shinbō) is the 92nd chapter of the Fumetsu no Anata e manga.

Summary
The Renril troops looks up the wall at Fushi in amazement. Cam quickly tries to divert their attention by saying Fushi's figure is just a guard sent by the Princess and that the Church of Bennett killed Fushi. The troops question if Cam knows Fushi and he denies it. The troops decide to climb up the wall to get a better view and Cam tries once again to stop them. One man (Sebas) punches Cam out of the way and he rolls down a hill. Bonchien, Hairo, and Kai rush to his aid.

Just then, Fushi appears in front of them saying he figured someone would find out his true identity sooner or later. While transforming into different forms he tells them to go ahead and report him to the Church of Bennett if they want, but taunts them by saying he can escape their iron cage in two days. As Sandel, he goes to Cam's side and bandages up his wound. Fushi then escapes by transforming into his rope and flying off.

Cam yells at the troops to think back on the past few months in Renril. They've all been working together to protect the city and there was always a mysterious figure helping behind the scenes. The girl with the ponytail (Yuiss) steps forward and tells everyone that Fushi was the one who saved her mother the other day. A man says Fushi gave his wife some medicine. And another says his brother was healed by Fushi. The next day, Fushi makes his way across town and worries that there may be a big commotion after what happened last night. He wonders if he should transform into Joaan as a disguise but decides to stay in his usual form to show the civilians his intent. He walks through the market, and while everyone stares at him, no one says a word. Bonchien comes up besides Fushi and tells him that no one's taking issue with him and not even a single soldier made a fuss. Messar appears too and tells Fushi the civilian's pose/stare at Fushi demonstrates their loyalty. They think he's a messiah. Suddenly, Princess Alma appears before Fushi and requests the "wise man" to come to the castle.

At the castle, Fushi and Princess Alma walk through the halls. Princess Alma tells Fushi she heard about him from the troops and she thanks him for all his work so far. She asks him if it's true that he wishes to rebuild the castle and Fushi confirms. Princess Alma suddenly turns around and tells Fushi to meet her father. They enter her father's room to find him missing. Fushi suddenly takes off asking if they could finish this later as Alma asks where he's going. Fushi senses someone's pain nearby and rushes to the source.

Fushi enters a door where he senses the pain and finds an old man laying on a wheelchair-bed on the balcony. The man asks who Fushi is as Fushi approaches him. Fushi asks why the people in the castle left someone as sick as him alone. The man is surprised to hear this. Fushi says the man seems to be in pain and says he'll fetch a doctor for him, but the man tells him to wait. The man tells Fushi he's seen enough doctors and there's nothing anyone left can do for him. He can't even move his arms or legs. He tells Fushi he's lived a full life. The man then speculates Fushi isn't from here and asks him what he's doing here. Fushi responds that he doesn't get what he's talking about and says he goes anywhere he wants. Fushi asks the man what someone who'll be left behind, like him, should do for someone like the man. The man simply tells Fushi to not feel responsible for a talking corpse. Fushi decides to rephrase his questions and says directly that he wants to do something for the man. The man responds that he'd rather Fushi do something for the people he'll leave behind. Princess Alma appears in the room and says that the man must make a decision then. Fushi and the man look at her and she clarifies that he must decide if they can entrust Renril to the "legendary immortal." She then tells the man to test Fushi. Fushi looks at the man and questions who he is. Princess Alma speaks up and says that the man is her father, King Boldron.

Later, outside the castle, Princess Alma tells Fushi they'll begin tearing down the castle in four days time. Fushi awkwardly thanks her and says he never thought it would be so easy to get her permission. She tells him that when he found her father, she decided to trust him. She goes on to call the Church of Bennett fools for believing a kind person like Fushi is a demon. Fushi humbly says he just hates pain. Princess Alma then takes off her veil for Fushi and tells him to give it their all.

While working on tearing the castle down, Pocoa, Iris, Chabo, and the rest of the Uralis army arrive in Renril. Bonchien demands to know why Iris and Chabo came and she laughs saying she tagged along and that they've been training in preparation for the fight. Everyone in Renril works to tear down the castle and soon they manage to do so. Fushi gets ready to recreate the castle as it's the final task in their preparation.
