[Arene……?]
Looking as if he can’t believe what he’s seeing, Ruin turns towards Arene.
[I don’t care! Even if you look at me like that——– I don’t know! After all…… I don’t want to die! I don’t wanna! I don’t want to die…… Absolutely not!]
Hearing what she said, Yuugungu became furious.
[You’ve got to be kidding me, Arene! How dare you leap in front of me!?]
[Haaahh!? How dare YOU say that , Yuugungu! You’re the one who dare leap in front of us first, didn’t you!? I- It’s your fault…… The reason why I changed my mind was all your fault!]
[Aaaah!? How come it was my fa——]
[It’s yooooouuuurrr faaaaulllttt! La la la la la! I don’t know what you’re talking about! I can’t hear you! I don’t care!]
[T- The place where the other Divine Beast is——- it was with the Goddess! The Goddess owns it!]
The one who interrupted Yuugungu and Arene’s quarrel——– is Myana.
[I- It’s fine for her if Nyaki dies…… but she really cherishes that other one!]
[Myanaaaaaa! You’re betraying us too, you f*cking wh*re!]
[S—— Shut up! Or rather, you’re annoying, idiot! In the first place, since the time we were being attacked, you’ve been freaking annoying! I mean, a muscle head like you who’s always getting carried away has always been annoying! Yes, it would have been better if you died first! Go die! Ahh, saying all the things I’ve been penting up feels so refreshing!]
[Guhh…… The one who should die is you, you f*cking w*oooooore! Oi, Mister Fly! I have even more useful information that these idiotic women don’t know——-]
[That probably doesn’t exist, right!? What!? Are you that desperate to survive!? That’s too uncool!]
[The Sixth Cavalry!]
The area fell silent.
[If we, the Heroic Sword, finds the Faraway Country, the next one that will be sent will be the Sixth Cavalry, the strongest of the Alion’s Thirteen Cavalries! This is solid information! I’m the only one who knows about this!]
Yuugungu……
Arene……
Myana……
Everyone turned speechless and looked at the man who just spoke.
[R—- Ruin……?]
[Let’s think rationally here.]
[Huh?]
[Thinking about the future——— The one who should survive is me, the most talented warrior among us. I’m sorry…… but this is the only option.]
[H—- Huuuuuuhhhh!?]
A vein popping out of her forehead, Myana bellowed.
[W- What kind of incomprehensible thing are you talking about now, Ruin!? What the heck are you deciding for yourself!? Huuhhh!? Huuuuuuhhhhh!? What the heck is that!? What happened to those so-called bonds!? Hey?! What happened to them!?]
Vexed, Ruin bit his lip.
[Even I am reluctant to do this…… I am the only one who can survive in this group. Besides, I am the one who has the most information, having received direct instructions from Vysis-sama. And of course, I have information that all of you don’t know…… Unfortunate it might be, but please accept it. This is our bond.]
[W—— What the f*ck is that!? In the end, isn’t it just you just wanted to save yourself!?]
In a half-crazed frenzy, Arene shouted.
[Aaaaaahhhhhhh, it’s a lie! It’s all a lie! Everything Ruin said was just a lie! Only what I said was the truth! All the things were just things they said because they wanted to survive——]
[In this mission, we are ordered to particularly kill the Forbidden Race who lives in the Faraway Country! Apparently, the existence of the Forbidden is very inconvenient for Vysis-sama!]
[Like I said——– Shut your trap, Ruin! Shut your mouth and keep your lies to yourself!]
[We have already told Vysis-sama the location of the door to enter the Faraway Country with a magical war pigeon! We sent it about half a day ago!]
Drowning out Arene’s words with more volume, Ruin revealed more information.
[………………]
I inwardly clicked my tongue.
These guys——- They’ve already grasped the location of the Faraway Country.
Moreover, they’ve already reported it to the sh*tty goddess.
It would have been great if I could have crushed them before they were discovered but……
As if they were competing with each other, the four of them began spitting out information.
They would sometimes curse each other, sometimes interrupt each other and obstruct what they’re saying.
They really aren’t that fun to watch.
But thanks to this, I got the information I wanted to hear from them.
It looks like their loyalty to the sh*tty goddess seemed to be quite thick, but it seems that it was just my imagination.
[It seems like all of you want to survive.]
All four of them drew their breaths.
[It’s just that thanks to all of you, I got the information I wanted. That’s why, I will cancel out my
.]
I cancelled the
from all of them.
Thereupon, the distressed expressions on their face disappeared.
Incidentally,
is still in effect.
……With its level ups, the duration of its effect may have increased.
If not, it would have taken me a ridiculous amount of time to poison the monsters of the Disposal Ruins.
So, it was necessary for me to alternately use
with .
But normally, just a single cast of
would be enough to settle something.
[——–Now then. As for who will survive…… I did say that the three who weren’t chosen will die, but do you know why I went to the trouble of cancelling out everyone’s
?]
The four of them looked like they still didn’t get the meaning of my words.
[I’ll give all of you a chance.]
And then, I said.
[Give me all the information I need to find out about what I’m about to ask you. Depending on the content of that information———- I will let all four of you live.]
[ ! ]
Everyone’s complexion changed.
They waited in silence to see what I was going to ask.
Trying to keep any emotion from leaking out, I spoke.
[It’s about the Speed tribe.]
For a moment, the four of them looked like they couldn’t comprehend what I said.
The content of my question seemed different from the previous questions.
But……
[I’m not a very patient person…… You’d better speak up before I change my mind.]
Thereupon——- They quickly spilled it out.
The four of them talked about their memories of destroying the Speed tribe.
It was different from earlier.
Oddly enough, they are now linked together.
None of them were trying to interrupt another.
Rather, they began to give each person a chance to speak.
Before long——– They even began to make up with each other.
[I- I’m sorry about earlier. I was also…… quite confused.]
[I- I was out of line too. I’m sorry I said that. I didn’t mean anything about what I said…… The thought of dying here had just surprised me too much.]
[Me too…… I’m sorry. I’m reflecting about it.]
[———-The one who should apologize is me. It was a foolish move of me, Ruin Seal. But first, let me apologize…… I’m really sorry. It’s just that I have to do whatever it takes to accomplish the task Vysis-sama has given me…… This is the only thing that is within my mind.]
[Fufu, I know…… Ruin. We all know that.]
[Myana…… Thanks.]
[We…… can start over again, right?]
[Of course! This whole thing came about because of Nyaki. We don’t have to blame ourselves for anything!]
[Yes, of course. Unnn, that’s right…… We forgot such an important thing.]
[Fufu, with this…… We’ll start over again huh.]
[Yeah—— From now on, we’ll start over again.]
[………………….]
These people really are quite cheap.
When things are going well, they would feel good about themselves and get drunk with such feelings.
However, as soon as they were driven to the corner, their true nature came out.
What surprised me is how quickly they switch over.
How the heck can they do it this easily——— just right after they curse each other.
They really are quite cheap, these people are.
[Now, everyone! In this situation, let’s let this Flymasked man hear about it! Our brilliant story of the past!]
The four of them spoke.
I don’t even want to remember every single thing that they said.
I want to vomit.
They feel really repulsive.
But, I knew I had to listen.
I had to hear what they did to the Speed tribe——– to Eve’s parents.
I thought I should know about it.
And then……
[That’s enough.]
I’ve had enough.
To get them to shut up, I’m going to kill them right now.
But, the four of them, with a glint in their eyes, don’t stop talking.
They are completely intoxicated with their story, and continue to talk.
[As I said before, hatred alone won’t produce anything! Only emptiness! So, we are faced with the problem of having fun while killing them at that time! Yes! Since then, we’ve learned to enjoy killing———-]
[Shut up.]
[……………….]
[That’s enough.]
Maybe it was because my tone of voice had obviously changed.
The four of them shut their mouths.
I take off my mask.
[As I thought, the one inside that mask was the same as us——— the same human.]
As if a glimmer of anxiety had been dispelled, Ruin’s eyes lit up.
[I could tell you more “about the day it started”———- but is that enough?]
[Yeah, that’s enough.]
[I see…… I’m glad, it seems you understood huh. You were just testing us, right?]
[………………….]
[Even listening after the eradication of the demi-humans, how cold-hearted could you be to look like you’re accustomed to it.]
[………………….]
[Rest assured. Our hatred is real, but we won’t be swallowed up by our pent-up hatred. We make sure that we keep the thought of having fun within our hearts.]
[Very well. My business with you ends now.]
[T- Then, you’re going to cancel out this mysterious Restraint Magic!?]
[———–Why should I?]
