Thanks for reading~
The next day after I tampered with the coliseum"s barrier, I went outside the town with Setsuna, the ice wolf, and Freya, my attendant. Soldiers from the kingdom always stay next to the town"s gates and are checking for people who leave by themselves.
"What a troublesome thing they have to do." (Kearuga)
As expected, they aren"t using an appraiser. Even for the kingdom, using an appraiser on every single person leaving the town is absurd. It seems they only use an appraiser when the other person says their cla.s.s is a healing magician, but I can only think of it as stupid.
There"s no way I would tell them my cla.s.s is a healing magician in this situation. So without any trouble, we pa.s.sed through the gates quickly. This is just a waste of tax money and working soldiers. As I thought, the kingdom is d.a.m.ned.
Going at a high speed with a riding-use raptor, we head towards the forest which has many monsters. As usual, Setsuna is between the raptor"s neck and me with her small body, and Freya is on the back embracing me. The reason I came here is to raise my level, even if it"s only by a bit. The stronger I get, the higher my chances of survival is. Especially Setsuna, because her level limit has increased greatly, and all her acc.u.mulated EXP has been consumed. Her level doesn"t increase immediately after her level limit increases anymore.
"Hey Kearuga-sama, I want you to tell me something." (Setsuna)
"What is it, all of a sudden?" (Kearuga)
"Why does Kearuga-sama take revenge? Even if you kill someone you hate, no one will come back. Have you ever thought it"s absurd to hurt yourself and someone else for that?" (Setsuna)
That"s quite a deep question. That"s most likely one of Setsuna"s own troubles as well. The reason why she"s asking this is because I told her that I killed the imperial guard captain as punishment for killing Anna-san. This action can only be called useless. Now, to stop the executions at the coliseum, I am going to barge in and save the villagers. There is a meaning to doing this. However, when I killed the imperial guard captain that time, no one was saved. Then why did I do such a thing?
"Just knowing that a guy I hate is care freely living gives me a strong sense of disgust. Seeing the suffering figure of people like that makes me happy from the bottom of my heart and it feels good… it makes me feel excited. Well if I were to say it in one word, it"s because it"s fun; just that. It"s not productive and neither is it constructive. It"s just my hobby." (Kearuga)
I don’t wish for anything more than having fun and feeling good. Besides, I have no intention of giving up everything for the sake of my revenge; I just want to be happy. After I finish my revenge, I will live a long life, and living a life without anything remaining after my revenge is lifeless. I only think of revenge as a hobby to become happy. I take action to live an interesting and amusing life. If I think about when I took revenge of Flare, I still get excited and I feel joyous when I embrace Freya since I"m doing as I please to Flare. The sad sight of Renard, the imperial guard captain, getting tormented made me laugh the most and excited me. Just remembering it makes me unintentionally smile.
"Kearuga-sama is taking revenge because it"s fun… yeah, Setsuna also understands the excitement." (Setsuna)
"Although you protected the survivors of the ice wolf race, have you ever thought of going further? Like locating the whereabouts of the soldiers that escaped and kill them." (Kearuga)
"I did think of that, but I endured it. Instead of that, I prioritize being useful to Kearuga-sama." (Setsuna)
"I think you are fine like that. Those are normal emotions." (Kearuga)
I overcame that normalness. The enjoyment from taking revenge depends on the person, so some people may not even enjoy it, yet they still do it because they force themselves to. Those types of people are unfortunate. Instead of enjoying revenge, they are trapped within their revenge.
"Yeah. Setsuna is still normal. How much longer is Kearuga-sama"s revenge going to continue?" (Setsuna)
"I wonder. I don"t think there are much people I hate enough to want to kill them. I don"t know about the people that will appear from now though." (Kearuga)
I definitely won"t forgive the people who steal from me, and it"s unforgivable. Even if new insects gush out, I will trample them each and every time.
Because Setsuna started talking about revenge, I remember the first world.
The first world was h.e.l.l.
Frankly speaking, the party of heroes that saved the world was abnormal. The hero of magic, who is also princess Flare, treated me like a dog and repeatedly gave me bad treatment.
The hero of the sword was an extreme man-hating lesbian, but even though she"s a man-hater, she dressed as a man and behaved like a man because it"s easier to get a woman like that. She had fallen for princess Flare and was jealous for the dog treatment I was given, so she would attack me after saying I should not touch princess Flare since I"m a filthy man. Knowing that, Flare would purposely make the hero of the sword jealous, in turn making me almost get killed.
The hero of the gun pretended to be a reliable, older brother-like person, but he was the worst in the inside. He was a h.o.m.os.e.xual that had a shota fetish. He loved cute boys and it seems he quite liked my appearance. He did things like mouth-to-mouth feeding to me that didn"t always get food and s.e.xually teased me on a daily basis. The troublesome thing was that he would continue saying that he was kindly doing things for my sake, and if I ever gave a reaction that was a bit different from his expectations, I would be mercilessly beaten. Once the beating finished, he would cry and apologize. And then… while he says things about consoling and atonement, he would indulge in my body. In the end, he couldn"t stand me growing any bigger, and I was almost killed many times while he said he wanted to preserve me while I was still beautiful. If Flare hadn"t stopped him, I would have actually died. I don"t know any h.o.m.os.e.xuals that are worse than that.
Thinking about it normally, the party which saved the world in the first world was weird. I"ll put it all together. (TL Note: In between these two sentences, there"s another sentence I don"t know the meaning of, and it didn"t really make sense to me. フレアが比較的に見えすらする。)
Flare, the hero of magic… a person with a corrupt mind who wears a mask. The surface of her face is the saint herself, but on the other side, she"s a cruel s.a.d.i.s.t who loves bullying the weak. She"s a cold woman who doesn"t understand other"s pain and uses whatever she can use.
Blade, the hero of the sword… her appearance is that of a friendly young man and is a standard hero. Her true ident.i.ty however, is an actual lesbian that disguises herself as a man. On top of being an extreme man-hater, she is deeply jealous to an abnormal extent. The poor mental and physical treatment towards a man who has gotten close to a girl she likes is beyond imagination.
Bullet, the hero of the gun… the eldest among the heroes. He"s an experienced, reliable elder brother-like person. He"s always calm and always continues to support the other heroes. However, the reality is that he"s an actual h.o.m.os.e.xual that has a shota fetish. He loses all self-control with little boys, and although he is affectionate to one, if things don"t go as he likes, he immediately becomes angry. Furthermore, he"s a devilish murderer that kills shotas at their young age because he can"t forgive them growing up.
There was no one normal apart from me, but I was a disabled drug addict and was broken. Although I was able to get my conscience back, having my conscience back was actually much harder than when I didn"t have it. Considering it"s this group of people, they did well going on a trip to subjugate the demon king. Instead, getting annihilated on the way might have been better for the world.
"Kearuga-sama, you"re laughing." (Setsuna)
"I was just thinking back to the past for a bit. I was thinking about my comrades." (Kearuga)
"Kearuga-sama"s comrades? I"m a bit curious." (Setsuna)
"They were quite a pleasant group of people." (Kearuga)
They are so pleasant, that it makes me want to kill them. The reason why I was laughing was because I was thinking about what I should do when I meet the hero of the sword of the hero of the gun. If they are decent people in this world, I"m planning to overlook them. I"m not such a madman that would punish them just because they might commit a crime in the future. (TL Note: So he contradicted himself again? He also contradicted himself earlier because he said that Bullet had a shota fetish even though it was mentioned that he like Flare in a previous chapter… Well either way, it"s good that he isn"t being inconsistent.)
However, it"s impossible for those pieces of trash to be good citizens.
Oh yeah, if the hero of the sword is trash, I"ll get men to gang rape her in front of her loved Flare. She will probably enjoy it. I"m kind, so I"ll carve the thing called a man"s merit deep into her soul and turn her body into one that can"t live without a man, while still keeping her heart as an actual lesbian.
If the hero of the gun is trash, then I"ll cut off both of his hands and feet so that he can"t be mean to innocent boys anymore, and I"ll also steal his genitals and tongue. I"ll change his face till it"s so ugly that no one would come close to him anymore and make him have to crawl on the ground for the rest of his life. Oh yeah, he has a collection he takes pride in, which he got from the hero work payment. Things that had their time stopped before growing up and were preserved. If I use those, he would probably taste a deeper despair.
We are almost about to reach the hunting point, so I should stop thinking about the past.
"Setsuna, Freya, keep your guard up. We are almost at the spot where the groups of monsters are." (Kearuga)
"Yup. I got it." (Setsuna)
"I"ll work hard today Kearuga-sama!" (Freya)
The two started getting enthusiastic.
"Freya, could you use the magic I taught you?" (Kearuga)
By the way, I had taught Freya magic that she should be able to use to increase our war potential.
"I will try it.【Enemy Heat Source Search】" (Freya)
That magic was a type of fire magic. It"s a magic that searches for enemies by searching for heat sources.
"I have found some. Southeast 200 meters away, there are three monsters in a group. From their shape, they are a type of orc!" (Freya)
"As expected of Freya. You have good skill." (Kearuga)
The raptor gallops towards the direction Freya instructed it to go. Although an ordinary magician has a limit of 30 meters, she was able to sense monsters 300 meters away. The largest range is even further than that.
These sorts of enemy searching magic have much more worth than unskillful offensive magic. If you don"t know the enemy"s location, no matter how much offensive magic you have, it"s useless. Until now, Freya was just a cannon. Without intelligence gathering from scouting, her worth can"t properly show itself.
However, with this magic, Freya has changed. Because she has gained the best eye that can sense all enemies, she can even fight alone and it would be hard for her to receive a surprise attack. Even if their presence is erased, even if they don"t make any noise, even if they hide their body, they can"t erase their body heat. That kind of superior enemy search can reach several hundred meters. As long as the location is known, Freya can snipe no matter how far away she is. It"s magic that can even be called a cheat. I guess this is as expected of the hero of magic.
"Kearuga-sama, this magic is terrifyingly convenient isn"t it." (Freya)
"Well yeah, since it"s a magic that I personally made. You definitely can"t talk about this magic to other people." (Kearuga)
By the way, this is my original. The only people who can use it in this world is just Freya and I. It"s necessary to conceal it.
Because it"s convenient, it means that it will be troublesome if other people use it, and I don"t want people to know that I can easily find them no matter how much they hide themselves. It will definitely give me an opportunity to strike an enemy with their guard down.
We arrive in front of the enemies that Freya found. Now, it"s time to hunt. Thanks to【Enemy Heat Source Search】, we should be able to raise our levels at the highest efficiency. I"ll raise my level up plenty and prepare for the execution.
