Chapter 16-2: Zak’s Madness[1]
Author Warning: This is the story of Zak right after Hitto beat him.
It contains portrayals of violence towards women. And may cause discomfort for those reading it.
Particularly if you are uncomfortable with seeing women be treated in a horrible manner, you will still be able to understand the main story if you skip this chapter.
「b.i.t.c.h! What do you mean that guy isn’t here anymore! Why the h.e.l.l’d you let them go like it was nothing!?」
Zak’s angry voice resounded throughout the dinning hall. And that anger, it was directed towards his very own slave Seira.
Zak had been unconscious for about 15 minutes since Hitto had escaped from the inn.
And after waking up and not being able to find Hitto anywhere, he learned that Hitto had disappeared from the inn from the replies of nearby employees.
「…… Just as Master had ordered, I looked after them until the duel was finished」(Seira)
Seira simply answered this in a monotone voice.
Like a doll, she faithfully replied to the contents of the question.
However, that only caused the unreasonable Zak to grow even more angry.
「b.i.t.c.h, are you fking with me –koraa!」
Zak’s foot flew straight into Seira’s face as she was sitting in seiza. She simply resigned herself to being hit; without moving to avoid it, and without trying to defend against it.
*Goro-goro* she momentarily rolled across the floor and landed on her side, but she immediately tried to get back up and sit back in a seiza.
However, immediately after Zak violently grabbed Seira by her long hair, forcefully held her up, and with his rock-like fists, he continuously beat her over and over and over and over and over again.
Even though the other person was a slave, Zak’s actions had left all the onlookers speechless.
「A-ano, Zak-sama――」
A single man called out to Zak. He was the man entrusted with managing this inn. In the event that trouble broke out, then he would be the man in charge of dealing with it.
Earlier, he had just finished stopping a man from sending his slave into the bathhouse by herself.
Although the manager was scared of that man’s threatening mannerisms and ran away at the time, his actions evidently ended up stopping that man as a result. Volunteering himself to keep the violent actions of troublesome guests in check, one could say it was his strong point.
And currently standing behind the manager was the girl who served food to Hitto, the man Zak was searching for.
That being said, a certain quarrel earlier resulted in the food being scattered around
As for the girl, she personally wanted not to get wrapped up in this matter, But simply because she was the one who brought water and the food to that Hitto guy, because of that reason alone she was treated as an involved party.
But since she scared nonetheless, she stood behind the manager with her shoulders slightly shaking.
Nevertheless, Zak stopped the hand he was using to beat the slave, and turned his sharp gaze towards the manager.
「Huh? The h.e.l.l do you want, b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You got a problem with the way a treat my slave huh!?」
Zak barked back at him. The man straightened his back and thrust out both hands and waved them.
As he desperately tried to convey that that wasn’t the case, cold sweat began acc.u.mulating on his forehead.
「No, no, by no means. I have absolutely no way I would have complaints about the way Zak-sama treats his slaves. It’s just that, well, the damages this time are… No! Of course I’m not saying that Zak-sama is a fault, however… even if only a little, C-could you perhaps give us compensation――」(Manager)
The manager kept his waist low, looking exactly like the insectoid monster “Jaw-swinging Locust[2]“, ingratiatingly nodding his head a little and with a forced smile he asked Zak.
The man was desperately trying to fulfill his duty as a manager.
「Compensation you say? Why should I? Isn’t it fine this way? I think things still look pretty good like this」(Zak)
「Ahaha. I-Indeed it does. It’s just.. with things like this… As I am the manager, the things that happen right in front of me, so you know……」(Manager)
Right at that moment, the manager closed his mouth. Or rather, his mouth was forced shut.
The reason was because Zak’s greatsword brushed right past his head from the side.
Even though the sword can be said to have brushed past, the part of the manager that was from the neck up now smashed into the wall on the opposite side of the room, and fell to the floor. The face still smiling courteously.
The remaining part below the neck fell down to the floor with a thud. A thick, blackish scarlet stream spread and colored the floor.
「K, ky, kyaa――」
「If you scream I’ll f.u.c.king kill youuuuuuu!」(Zak)
Zak’s rough voice sounded. The voices that were about to rise from the onlookers were suppressed by that voice, and silence ruled the dining hall.
The people who remained in the now completely tattered dining hall were cowering, shaking with fear.
「Hmph. By the way, missy. You saw it, right? It was an accident that the manager’s head flew off, right~?」(Zak)
The waitress girl had been brought to her knees by overwhelming fear, and was now sitting on the floor as Zak asked her.
In front of her eyes lay the headless manager. The streaming blood dirtied her palms and the b.u.t.tocks of her clothing.
But as if she wasn’t even aware of that, her breath was going “hi! hi!” as if she were having convulsions, and she couldn’t utter a single word.
On top of that, between her thighs an aromatic liquid trickled and spread out.
It seems she was so overwhelmed with the situation that she had wet herself.
The translucent liquid that flowed from her mixed with the scarlet on the floor, producing an indescribable foul smell that spread throughout the surroundings.
「…… Tsk, you have quite the loose c.u.n.t huh? But that just turns me on!」(Zak)
But Zak was, after having his nose twitch, he said those words with a grin that spread to the corners of his mouth. He placed his hands on his waist and lowered his pants, and as the girl’s eyes widened in shock, he flung himself onto her――[3]
「Hick, hick, so, cruul. I can’t believe… feh, hii…」 [4]
The waitress’ ap.r.o.n was thrown to the side, her clothes and underwear got ripped apart, exposing her white skin and fairly developed twin hills, the woman lay sobbing alone on the floor.
Her body covered with blue bruises that weren’t there just a moment ago.
Afterwards, the blood that colored the floor also contained the remains of a deflowering.
While looking down upon such a miserable girl, Zak put his pants back on, and with a refreshed expression he opened his mouth.
「Well I suppose that cleared away a bit of my anger」(Zak)
Glaring with bloodthirsty eyes at the woman who he had just now ravaged in the dining hall,
「Hey, I’ll ask you only once more. The manager died in an accident, and you wantedit so we did it. Am I clear?」
He asked once more, with a beast-like growling voice.
“Hick, yes, thash, right. Itsh ash Zak-sama, hick, saysh」(Waitress)
Hearing those words, Zak gave a satisfied expression, his mouth opened widely in a laugh.
「Umm, Zak-sama――」
The female innkeeper who was responsible for the inn spoke.
Her face had a stiff smile.
「Huh? What is it? Could it that you got a problem with me――」(Zak)
「No! Nothing like that! I just thought that perhaps you should return to your room…… after all you’ll stand out if you stay here……」
It seems that the woman’s words were able to persuade Zak, he nodded once but he glared at the woman.
「Alright, I’ll return to my room. But if you find that man you absolutely have to tell me! Understood?」 (Zak)
「Ye- yes, but of course!」
He snorted a “hmph!” in response to the woman, then―― he turned towards Seira and kicked her with all his strength. Her delicate body met the floor without any feeling of resistance.
「Oi! Call somebody who can use healing magic to my room afterwards! This one won’t die easily, but she can be injured!」(Zak)
「Ye- yes, understood!」
Desperately resisting her body shaking, the innkeeper lowered her head toward Zak, expressing her compliance.
Then, without mercy, Zak once more grabbed Seira’s messy hair, and while dragging her across the ground, he left the dining hall.
Repeatedly throwing her body violently against the wall, Zak’s face was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with joy.
「Seira, you b.i.t.c.h, I’m not done with you yet. Cuz from now until morning, I’m gonna be training you properly in my room!」(Zak)

TL Note: The word used for “Madness” is the same word for “Insanity”. Both will fit, it kinda has dual meaning.
2.
TL note: The monster here is a アゴフリバッタ/[Agofuribatta]. I have no idea what that is and neither does Nidhuggg, the other TL. So I just went with whatever.
Also this is where my TL stops so the rest is mainly Nidhuggg with some extra stuff mixed in. Mostly just an edit, with a few things changed to my liking.

TL note: This line was skipped in Nidhuggg’s translation.

TL note: Nidhuggg wasn’t sure about this part, Esteemed 5th Holy Sheeprabbit: Estelion suggested “Hick, hick, so, cruul. I can’t believe… feh, hii…” on reddit. I’m going with “Enou-, alraedy” (Yes, it’s misspelled) because [ろ、い]/[Ro, ii] sounds like [Mou, ii] to me.
Nevermind, re-read it and Estelion-sama is right so I’ll use hers.
