Later, the ogre returned to its cave and found it in ruins, with only the Teal Mask left behind and no traces of its friend or the other masks. Donning the remaining Teal Mask with its cudgel in hand, the ogre set out to the nearby village in search of its friend, only to find the trio and Pecharunt gloating over their plunder. Enraged, the ogre slayed the trio and attacked Pecharunt, leaving it unconscious. Already afraid of the ogre due to its appearance, the villagers believed that the trio were actually defending them from the ogre, causing them to be even more scared of it. As the wounded ogre left the village, alone and in sorrow, the villagers named the trio the Loyal Three, and put their bodies to rest. The Loyal Three's remains were buried near the village, and a monument dedicated to honor their "sacrifice" was erected on top. The surrounding area would be known as Loyal Three Park, later renamed to [[Loyalty Plaza]]. | Later, the ogre returned to its cave and found it in ruins, with only the Teal Mask left behind and no traces of its friend or the other masks.

Only the village mask maker, who had gifted the ogre and the man with the masks, understood what had transpired between the Loyal Three and the ogre. However, the other villagers dismissed him as a heretic for attempting to explain the truth. To protect his family from suffering the village's wrath as he did, he kept the truth hidden from everyone, and passed the truth down to his descendants as a family secret. From that point on, the Loyal Three were unjustly revered as heroes by the people of Kitakami for generations, even having them as part of their [[Festival of Masks]], crafting masks of Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezandipiti, along with the ogre's Teal Mask, as a way to celebrate their heroes' | Only the village mask maker, who had gifted the ogre and the man with the masks, understood what had transpired between the Loyal Three and the ogre.
