Chapter 104
Thanks for reading~
After leaving the village, I have been running towards Buranikka.
To slip away without the star rabbit tribe noticing, I unfortunately had to leave the raptor behind.
No matter how much I enhance my physical ability with mana, there's a limit to my speed, and on top of enhancing, because I【Recovery Heal】myself immediately once I feel fatigued, my mana consumption is terrific.
When I was leaving, Guren, who had taken my appearance, said something bothering with a sleepy face.
『Master, originally, divine beast eggs can only be hatched by divine beasts or G.o.ds. Having enough mana is just a prerequisite. There's a meaning to why master hatched Guren. What is really needed for hatching a divine beast is… nn, I said too much. Please forget it. Well, master is quite that. It will be hard, but keep at it!』(Guren)
I told her to continue because I was curious, but Guren didn't agree.
When I was about to order her, she became desperate…
『Master will either see Guren dying from divine punishment by breaking the rules, or Guren breaking down and dying by continuously fighting against the【Command】!』(Guren)
And entreated like that, so I stopped.
Even I wouldn't go so far as to kill Guren just to gain information. As expected of a divine beast, she is binded by some considerably mysterious rules.
Or rather, I would prefer if she didn't wave that kind of dangerous story at me.
… If I think about it very optimistically, I could take it as her risking danger to try and tell me as much as possible about something she has to tell me.
She might unexpectedly be a child that loves her master. I'll splurge on her souvenier a bit.
While thinking about such things, I head to Buranikka.
That night, I slept alone after a long time.
I feel lonely when I'm alone at night. Moreover, I throb severely.
"I want to embrace a woman…" (Kearuga)
I miss Setsuna and Co.'s body temperature.
It might be nice to go to a brothel when I reach Buranikka.
For me who is only embracing the best women, I don't know if I will be satisfied with a brothel around there, but it will serve a distraction.
I have arrived at Buranikka after camping for one night.
The scars engraved by the Dioral troops that were lead by princess Norn are mostly gone.
Humans and demons are both energetically working hard at business.
I am relieved since there are no signs on the relations.h.i.+p between humans and demons deteriorating.
In a way, this town is hope that can end the war.
I prioritise revenge, but I want to contribute to world peace where possible.
It is too lonely to end your life after just achieving your revenge.
After all, if your life ended after just killing the guys you hate, it's the same as dying because of them. That is equivalent to defeat.
I want to be happy after my revenge. For that reason, a peaceful and safe world is necessary.
"I wonder what I should after my revenge ends." (Kearuga)
… It might be nice to go to some countryside and raise apples like I used to. I also want to make my speciality pies. I'm going to give lots of smiles from my apples and sweets.
Actually, should I becomes Eve's close aide once she becomes the demon king and call myself the black knight?
Setsuna wanted a child. If it's after my revenge ends, I can grant her wish.
I'll continue loving princess Flare and princess Norn as Freya and Ellen.
They are both my beautiful, obedient and lovely possessions (toys). If I use【Recovery Heal】, they can preserve their beauty. I'll make them serve me for their whole life.
"Maybe I'm tired?" (Kearuga)
To think I would fantasize about such a naive future.
However, part of me thinks it isn't bad.
"Oops, I shouldn't be s.p.a.cing out. I need to quickly contact Kureha." (Kearuga)
It will take a large sum, but there is a mailing trader in Buranikka that can send a letter to Ra.n.a.litta.
And I have a messenger in Ra.n.a.litta for Kureha.
If I send a letter addressed to him, the letter should reach Kureha.
However, I am also hesitating.
I am hesitating whether there is a need to call Kureha over here just because there is a possibility that the Dioral Kingdom is connected with the demon king, and that there was a human clad in a black power.
Because she is in the kingdom, there is information I could gain, and she has her own life.
Even so, I have a terribly bad premonition.
My bad premonitions have never been wrong. Therefore, I'll throw a letter so that she comes to Buranikka.
Once I throw the letter, I plan to remain at Buranikka until she returns.
… Even if I do so, there's a limit.
Ten days. If she doesn't come within ten days, I'll give up.
Even if Guren, a platinum one tail, takes my appearance and Ellen, who excels at strategy, supports her, they can't deceive others for a long period of time, and the strategies against the demon king will start.
Since there's the possibility that sending just one letter might not be able to reach her because of an accident, I have requested three traders.
It will be fine as long as one of them send the letter. … There's a chance that the contents of the letter might be exposed, but I have used a special code that I decided on with Kureha. It will take time for it to be exposed
"Well then, all that's left is to wait… that being said, that's true. I hadn't thought about it. I'm still naive as well." (Kearuga)
I feel someone's gaze.
In addition to that, they are filled with malice.
While making a wry smile, I act like I haven't noticed and head to a back alley.
And then, I run up the wall and up to the roof.
Erasing my presence, I look at the situation below from the top of the roof.
And then, a female and a male from the star rabbit tribe rush into the back alley panickingly.
When I came to Buranikka last time, the star rabbit tribe wasn't there, but it seems that intelligence personnel have been deployed at Buranikka now.
These two aren't amateurs. I know they are pros from their movement, eyes and way of erasing their presence.
… What should I do. It will be bad if they inform the others that they saw me at Buranikka.
That being said, I don't have any particular resentment towards them right now.
It contradicts my aesthetics to kill people I don't hate.
Oh, I thought of something good. If I don't have a reason for revenge, I can just make a reason for revenge.
I jump down from the roof.
"It seems you are tailing me, but what do you want?" (Kearuga)
The pair from the star rabbit tribe pull out their knife and take a stance.
One is a slender and seemingly strong willed woman. The other one is a dark skinned man.
I feel hostility. Good, just a bit more.
"I don't have any hostility towards you. I just want you to tell me why you chased after me." (Kearuga)
I smile at them.
And then, they exchange glances.
"Youna, there's a chance we have been found out. We can't let him escape, but… don't kill him."
"I know. Having Eve's extra will become a good hand to play."
The two jump with terrific force.
The star rabbit tribe's trait is a tremendous jumping power.
… I'm surprised. To think they plan on taking me alive.
On top of that, I'm just an extra that came with Eve. Even me, who is gentle and gentlemanly, will want to kill them if they underestimate me this much.
Fumu, I was planning to make a lame excuse that I came to buy delicious alcohol in Buranikka in the worst case scenario, but if they are coming to attack me like this, I can take a different choice.
It seems that the two are coordinating, and they rushed on me as if tucking me in between them.
The woman came from the front and the man drew near from the back.
Without turning around, with the【Sword Saint's】【All-Seeing】ability, I can feel everything of the ones that step into my sword range. I enter a concentrated state where every moment feels stretched longer.
The man thrust with his knife, aiming at my back. He's the fastest in short distance. He is skilled. However, it's not like I can't deal with it.
From the shape, it most likely has poison smeared on it.
When my stance crumbles after dodging it, the woman slashes at me with her knife… is what she pretended to do, and actually aimed for my chin with a kick. Receiving that with my palm, I jump back and kill its power. (TL Note: Not too sure. 躱して体勢が崩れたところに、女がナイフで切りかかる……と見せかけて本命の蹴りで顎を狙ってきた。それを手のひらで受け止めて後ろに跳んで威力を殺す。)
"That's cruel! Even though I wanted to talk, to think you would suddenly rush at me! … If something like this is done to me, I have no choice but to fight!! Even though I didn't want to fight!?" (Kearuga)
The man and woman star rabbits make a dubious face.
This has become fun. Now I can freely take revenge.
After all, I was stabbed at with a knife and my chin was kicked at.
These guys shouldn't be able to complain even if I kill them.
"Hey, I don't understand what this guy is saying."
"Same here. He's probably insane."
What cruel things are they saying.
After violence, it's violence with words huh.
My gla.s.s-like delicate heart has been hurt. How many sins do they have to acc.u.mulate until they are satisfied?
Well, this is fine. I wanted to hear them out.
After going to that village, I had always thought of taking two or three of them, making their minds go blank with drugs, torture them and make them spill everything.
Despite that, the star rabbit tribe in the village just put up their welcoming front, so I wasn't given a chance to do that. I am kind to the people that don't hurt me.
However, thankfully, people from the star rabbit tribe that I can finally kill and break have come. I can't let go of this chance.
"Aah, how cruel. You're too cruel. I'll make you repent." (Kearuga)
I take a deep breath, square off, and then beckon them.
Probably because he can't stomach that, the man once again jumps at me.
Matching that timing, I activate the G.o.dspeed step,【Ground Shrinker】.
From there, I draw my sword at G.o.dspeed… and release the hidden art that was thoroughly tempered by the【Sword Saint】,【Decapitation Moon】.
From the speed of his own charge and my ultrG.o.dspeed that had two G.o.dspeeds piled on top of each other, the star rabbit man's head was separated from his body without him even knowing what happened.
There are two of them. Killing one is fine. After all if I'm torturing someone, I would prefer the woman over the man.
"Hi-, Nelson was-".
The woman escapes.
Even though her comrade was killed, to think she would escape instead of take revenge, what trash. She needs to be trained.
With her strong legs that are characteristic to the star rabbit tribe, she tries to forcibly run away with all her strength. Even I don't think I can catch up.
However, I don't even need to catch up. No matter how fast she is, this is a straight path.
"Rather than running, a throwing knife is faster." (Kearuga)
I pick up the poison knife the man was holding, and throw it.
It pierced very deeply into the star rabbit tribe woman's back.
The woman collapsed. It seems her body has become numb and she can't move.
Fumu, they smeared paralysis poison huh.
To think they would stab at me with this, how cruel. Their charges will be increased. I'll also make the woman atone for the man's share who readily died easily.
I slowly walk onto her knee, destroying it.
"Higyaaaaaaaaaa!"
Alright, now she can't escape even if the paralysis poison fades.
I grab hold of the woman's hair and face it up.
Looking at her carefully, I can see she has a tightened body, strong willed face, black ponytail, white rabbit ears and a cute, round tail.
She's quite a beauty, and also has her loveliness.
That reminds me, I'm saved up because I spent a night alone after so long.
Alright, I'm going to torture her and make her spit out information anyways.
After I drug her, I'll rape her and pleasantly release everything! Both this woman and I will be happy, so everyone will be happy.
… Umu, her pain isn't enough with this. It's not enough as revenge. Having a soft spot for women is one of my weaknesses.
"Please, more, give me more, drugs, and 'that'."
The star rabbit tribe woman is entreating while kneeling on the ground nude.
When I told her I'll give it to her if I feel like it, she worked hard to service me.
She's unskillful because she isn't used to men, but I'm not in a bad mood because I was just thirsting for woman. I can endure.
Her appearance isn't that bad either.
Her voluptuous legs especially stimulate me. The legs of the star rabbit tribe are nice.
That being said, I can't draw out any more information than this. I have become quite tired of this. I should end it soon.
I behead her.
It's to seal her mouth. I have no need for her as an information source and as a woman.
"I hadn't expected much since she was a terminal, but I got more information than I thought I would." (Kearuga)
This woman told me about various things.
The star rabbit tribe's connection with the demon king.
The reason why she rushed at me after seeing me.
Their intention for dispatching intelligence personnel to Ra.n.a.litta.
Those narrow eyed star rabbits… Carol is more capable than I thought he was.
As a result, I'm lucky I was found by these guys.
On top of receiving information, she let me refresh myself.
Well, the sun will set soon. I guess I'll find a inn for today.
The first day of waiting for the【Sword Saint】ended with a good sign.
