Chapter 60
I almost finished this chapter last week… and then I hadn't translated at all until today… Thanks for reading~
Author's Note: Kaif.u.ku Jutsus.h.i.+ no Yarinaos.h.i.+ has been released on 7/1 by Sneaker Bunko! Thank you.
After we pierced through the huge white coc.o.o.n the G.o.d bird lives in, I was suddenly transferred somewhere.
That place is a wide room with black walls.
In that room, I was surrounded by the people I had once taken revenge on and killed.
Let alone doors, there are no windows, so escaping is impossible.
In that situation, the dead people seemed to unjustifiably resent me because of a misunderstanding, and they are spitting out curses while attacking me.
Therefore, I harmed them and violated them until their exhaustion.
Just killing them would be boring, so I disgraced their body, heart and spirit, and then pulverized them.
These guys hate me. However, I hate them as well, and I was just thinking how my revenge was insufficient.
"Ahahahahahaha, what's wrong!? Don't you hate me!? Aren't you going to kill me!?" (Kearuga)
When I noticed it, I had been laughing.
After all, I thought I was lucky to be able to take revenge twice, but that was a complete misunderstanding.
Rather than twice…
"I can kill as much as I want!? How many more times are you going to let me enjoy myself!? You guys are the best!" (Kearuga)
I haven't been counting after the tenth time.
I killed them many times, but they revived.
Furthermore, it seems the others properly remember that they were killed each time.
Their reactions changed depending on their death count, so it's amusing.
Until the third time, each time they are killed, their resentment would further increase and attack me more violently.
After exceeding five times, they start losing detail in their movements and learn hesitation.
After exceeding around ten times, it seems that their resentment lost to fear. Even though I, who they unbearably hate, am right in front of their eyes… even though they should be trying to kill me, far from coming to attack me, but they started escaping from me.
When I approach them, they entreat me to forgive them while crying.
That's weird, wasn't asking for forgiveness my line? If they're dead, they should act like the dead.
Right now, one of them is crying and shouting for forgiveness. I smash up his head. I purposely gave him a fatal wound that would leave him just *barely alive. It's to make him taste fear until his death. (TL Note: *七割殺し = 70% murder. Wasn't too sure about this, and I asked my parents and they weren't too sure either, but they said it might mean barely alive. If anyone knows what it actually means, it would help~)
"I wonder how I should kill them next." (Kearuga)
It's quite fun to think of various murdering methods to not get tired of it.
Just now, I tried abnormally multiplying the hero of the【Sword's】cells to inflate her like a balloon and explode.
She was excellently unsightly and ugly.
The appearance of the d.a.m.n lesbian woman despairing as her own appearance changes into a monster is quite stimulating.
Since I became a bit excited and got an erection, I refreshed myself by raping a random dead person. Because I got tired of it, I let that person's head fall and went to the next one.
"Look, you resent me right!? You want to kill me right!? What happened to your vigour from before!? You were so energetically saying you would kill me! Didn't you say you couldn't forgive me!? Eh!? Despite that, what do you mean 'forgive me’ or 'don't come? The man you guys resent is right here! Do your desires for revenge only amount to that much!? Ahahahahaha!" (Kearuga)
Ah, this is fun.
To think those guys I once killed out of resentment would run away, trying to miserably escape from me.
There's no longer a single person who would challenge me.
There are only prey that request forgiveness while crying, and tremble while running about trying to escape. I chase after them and trample them.
How lukewarm! If their desire for revenge is real, as if they would give up just from being killed dozens of times and being disgraced to their limit!
I'll teach them true revenge.
Unlike these guys' tepid desire for revenge, I will never be satisfied no matter how many times I kill or disgrace them.
Ah, I'm glad to be a healing magician.
I can heal their wounds and stamina with【Recovery Heal】, and steal their mana with【Looting Heal】. In other words, it's perpetual motion. I can enjoy this supremely enjoyable game for eternity.
Since there are various things I want to test, it would be extremely helpful.
The last hero. The hero of the【Gun】, Bullet. I have to let that shota h.o.m.o psychopath taste the highest grade of pain as well.
For that reason, there's a need to investigate and compare which way of killing would make him taste the most effective fear, pain and humiliation.
Inspiration is welling up inside me. As I thought, putting it into practice is the most educational way. I should immediately try it out.
"Do-, don't come."
"No way, I don't want to revive anymore. Kill meeeeee, don't let me reviiiive."
"Let me out, let me out of here."
"Hiiiiii, I don't want to die anymore. I don't resent you anymore, so please forget about me already, I'll do anything."
The dead people beg for their lives.
That's quite rare.
However, I won't forgive them. This is because I loathe these guys. Rather, I'll voluntarily do things they hate.
Well, I wonder what kind of idea should I enjoy myself with next.
It happened while I was thinking about those sorts of things.
Suddenly, the dead people started disappearing, and the dead people were receiving their disappearance happily. Everyone is expressing relieved smiles.
‘We're finally released’, ‘we're saved’, is what they're saying.
Stop it, it's annoying. If you disappear so happily, my hard work would go to waste.
Oh, I thought of something good.
"You guys, look forward to it, because I'll play with you guys again when I fall down to h.e.l.l! Antic.i.p.ate our reunion in h.e.l.l!" (Kearuga)
I shout with all my might at the end.
It's amusing. The dead people’s' faces full of relief
"Now, what's next? This should have been the bonus stage before the trial, so I need to brace myself for the real trial." (Kearuga)
At the start, I suspected that it was the trial, but there's no way such a fun recreation would be the trial.
A strange floating feeling wraps up my body.
I'm probably going to be taken somewhere again.
I entrust my body to that sensation.
I open my eyes.
It's a white room.
Sensing a presence next to me, I look that way and see Eve.
While crying, she is muttering 'I'm sorry'.
"Eve, you're safe huh." (Kearuga)
"… Kearuga." (Eve)
After looking at me, Eve smiles with a tear-stained face and jumps into my chest.
And then, she sobs.
I stroke her head.
"What happened?" (Kearuga)
"Yuel, and Mero, and Naara appeared, and then, and then…" (Eve)
I don't know who that is, but when I think about what I was experiencing until just earlier, people who Eve killed, or died because of her must have appeared with resentment towards Eve.
"And then, Kearuga. Everyone blamed me, but, they understood after I talked to them, cheered me on at the end and then disappeared. Even though everyone dies because of me, they told me, to try my best, Kearugaa." (Eve)
Eve sobs harder.
… They understood after she talked to them? They cheered her on at the end and disappeared?
What's up with that.
I don't understand it. Was it that sort of trial?
For the time being, I'll stay like this until Eve settles down.
Eve behaving like a spoiled child is quite fresh.
After we stay like that for a while, the wind blows.
I look up at the sky. A huge, pure white hawk descends with a size that probably exceed five hundred metres.
The characteristic silver feather is on its head, and it's like a crown.
My eyes meet with that bird, and in those eyes, I can see profound intelligence.
This guy is the G.o.d bird Caladrius huh.
『O small people. You have done well beating my trial. I tested your body, wisdom and mind with the trial. The strength of your body that can overcome disease. Even while harmed by disease, you calmly reeled in the thread with your intelligence that let you arrive beside me, and the strength of your mind that let you personally face your own sins and climb over it. You guys have overcome everything.』(Caladrius) (TL Note: Uses ware/我 to refer to him/herself.)
So there was a trial to test whether your mind was strong enough to personally face your sins and overcome them? I have no knowledge of it.
It was surely a trial that was only imposed on Eve.
『Most people crumbled to dust without being able to endure the disease. Even the ones that endured the disease only thought of escaping from it and shut themselves away in the white houses that have been prepared, without being able to arrive at my location. And even the small amount of people that arrived here were tormented to death by their sins. Both of you have done well to overcome it.』(Caladrius)
Both of us? Did I also clear that trial or whatever that tests your mind's sins?
… Weird, I should ask just in case.
"What was the mind trial?" (Kearuga)
『What are you saying? You also received it and overcame it. I call the dead souls that died because of your sins, and there are souls with strong emotions among them. You need to face those souls, and be forgiven by them. The more sins the person has, the more souls are called out. Being forgiven by those who hold resentment is difficult, but if you are able to do that, it means you have a truly strong mind.』(Caladrius)
… Face them, and then persuade them to forgive you.
Oh, so I had to do that kind of thing with those guys
This trial has such a high degree of difficulty.
"What would happen if I killed those souls that were called out?" (Kearuga)
『The curse and resentment would just deepen. Even if they are killed the power of the dead increase until they eat you death in the end. This is a trial that tests the strength of your mind. It is impossible for people who acc.u.mulate sins to overcome it. I have not seen the state of the trial, but you are amazing. To think you were able to sublimate that many souls that held strong resentment. You must have quite a strong heart and had acquired enough advantages to be forgiven by the dead. You are an amazing man.』 (Caladrius)
Ah, so that really was a trial huh. I hadn't noticed.
For now, I'll stay silent about what happened.
At least the G.o.d bird wasn't watching the state of the trial.
Fumu, it's surprising that the method of beating the immortal dead people who keep reviving is to hurt them and disgrace them enough to make them want to vanish themselves.
This was quite educational.
"Eve, you worked hard." (Kearuga)
"… It was a tough trial. But I'm glad I accepted it. I met the people who died trying to protect me again. And also, everyone was pleased when I talked to them about you. They were talking about how I finally have an important person. … After that, I promised them to properly become the demon king and protect everyone from the kokuyoku race. That's why, I'm going to work even harder from now." (Eve)
Eve – who had stopped crying – started crying again.
… I see, so this is the orthodox method of beating the trial.
It's definitely impossible for me.
"Hey, what kind of things happened to you?" (Eve)
"Yeah, it was normal. Normal. Well, what is it, with all my heart, I showed my sincerity by not just putting my seriousness into words, but actions to the people that died because of me. In the end, everyone returned with satisfaction." (Kearuga)
"Kearuga, you're amazing." (Eve)
I haven't told a lie. Everyone vanished of their own accord in the end after all.
The G.o.d bird's mana swells.
Eve and I both look its way.
『O small ones. I will award you a reward for clearing my trial. First is the kokuyoku race girl. In accordance with the ancient oath, I will *gift you the proof of overcoming the trial.』(Caladrius) (TL Note: This 与えん does mean gift right? I'm not really good with this kind of speech…)
The G.o.d bird pokes Eve's forehead with its beak.
Eve's hair thereupon turns silver coloured, and her pupils became the colour of blood.
… That appearance is the appearance of the demon king I once saw.
I had misunderstood. Even in the first world, Eve had subdued the G.o.d bird Caladrius.
In that case, why did she not use it in the fight with the heroes (us)?
I can tell from just standing in front of it right now.
The G.o.d bird is strong. If the hero party in the first world fought it head-on, they would have been crushed by the G.o.d bird alone. If I had taken on the demon king and the G.o.d bird at the same time, the first world me would have had no chance of success.
The amount of things I'm curious about has increased by one.
『I have awarded you with my blessing. You have obtained power. And you can call me whenever. However, you know right?』(Caladrius)
"Yeah, I'll only call you when I really need to. … I won't be let off so easily if I call you." (Eve)
She unexpectedly answered quickly.
There is either a risk, or possibly a limit of times she can do it.
However, we certainly obtained a trump card. I'll ask Eve about the details later.
『And now, the man over there. I will not serve anyone other than the kokuyoku race. Furthermore, my power is poison to humans. Although you have considerably ceased being human, you will not be able to endure it. That being said, it would affect my dignity if you were to return without being awarded anything. Therefore.』" (Caladrius)
The G.o.d bird hits the egg backpack with its beak.
Then, it pokes my left eye.
… Because of its extreme speed, I couldn't react.
『That eye is a spirit eye. Therefore, if it is just the eye, I am able to award you with my power. And I have also poured my power into the child that grew from eating your mana. A child with terrific power should be born… nevertheless, who exactly are you? The child that grew from eating your *mana and spirit is warped this much… excuse me, monstrous… ahem, destructive, no. It is being raised into something original. Strange. It should be impossible for this type of person to overcome the trial.』 (Caladrius) (TL Note: It says monster instead of mana here, but I think it was probably a typo.)
I have become slightly worried for when this child is born.
No, surely the G.o.d bird’s values are different to humans.
There’s no way this child who was raised by receiving plenty of my mana and spirit could be a bad child.
"Thank you very much. I will use this child and this eye valuably." (Kearuga)
My right is a【Jade Eye】, but the left has evolved into a new eye. This seems useful.
And then, a monster of divinity that could be called my other self. That one will become even stronger. I can be hopeful for this.
『With this, the trial has finished. I will send you to your original world. Let us meet again, o small ones. I quite enjoyed having visitors for the first time in a while.』 (Caladrius)
Once again, I feel the strange floating sensation.
We will surely be fired outside of this white fog.
I’m glad we came here. After all, I gained plenty of power thanks to it.
