Manga Chapter 28.2

This is part of the twenty-eighth chapter of the Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi manga series.

Summary
Freya, while acting as Flare, calls for the Buranikka populace as well as the soldiers to cease fighting. The civilians and some of the soldiers are moved by Freya's speech, and drop their weapons, much to Norn's annoyance and confusion. Norn assumes interference from Keyaru and orders her forces to regain control. However, her supporters are restrained by the civilians and the rooftop archers dispatched by Eve, all of which cause Norn to lose her composure and snap. She rejects a Jioral soldier's advice to do a tactical retreat, but ultimately accepts after Hawk Eye convinces her that calling reinforcements will completely purify the city.

It turns out that the soldier who called for the retreat was actually Keyaru in disguise, and he is forced to reveal himself after dodging one of Hawk Eye's attacks inside Norn's carriage. Hawk Eye states he could see through his disguise based off his demeanor, and more importantly, his leaking killing intent.
