Chapter 74: Blunder
"Damn it, how could this happen?"
Hiding alone in the woods, praying for it all to end.
Her beautiful silver hair
Her breathtaking white skin
I wanted her so badly that I asked her to marry me
But she turned me down
So I tried to get her by force
I joined forces with the bandits
When the wheat harvest was over, I tore down the fences and brought them in
They can do whatever they want with the people and the things in the village.
You just give me the girl.
That was the deal.
But the result was.
"Thank you for your hard work. If you don't want to be cut down, get the hell out of here."
Everything was taken away.
The bandits won't miss her
They'll probably rape her a lot and kill her.
At least...
At least I can use the corpse
That's what I'm thinking as I wait for them to leave in the woods.
"What are you doing here?"
A voice calls out to me from behind.
A young man with blond hair, so beautiful, so out of place in a village like this.
"U-um!"
“Are you a survivor of that village? It's all right. My friends are on their way. It will be over soon."
"Eh, are they going to save the village?"
Not good
"Yes, there are survivors. It's all right. Let's go back."
Not good, not good, not good
Everyone already knew I was the cause
If I went to the village, they'll know I'm here.
I have to get out of here.
No, if I'm chased by horses from the village, I'll be found immediately.
I have to shut him up right now.
“Ah, thank you very much. I'm sorry, but I can't stand up."
"Oh, you can't stand up. Please, hold on."
I got you.
This guy doesn't doubt me.
I'm gonna pretend to hold on to his hand.
I'm gonna stab him to death.
"Oops"
"Eh?"
The knife that should have stabbed him gets caught in the gap between his gauntlets.
"Yeah, I got you."
"Eh? Eh?"
He grabs me by the wrist.
"Did you think I didn't notice?"
"W-why..."
"I've been interacting with a lot of wicked people. Just by looking at your eyes, I can tell that you're plotting evil, you know?"
A smile completely different from before
A smile that somehow feels refreshing
Now it looks like a wicked smile.
"Here, I'll give it back."
The knife caught in the gauntlet penetrates my leg before I know it
"Gugyaaahh!"
"Don't worry, a human being can't die from that."
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts
"Now, are you the one who started all this uproar?"
“Hi, hii!”
"That is not a conversation. [My hand heals [Heal]]"
The wound on my leg where the knife pierced heals instantly.
"Guaaaahhh!"
The knife that remains stuck in my leg instantly tears off the healed leg
"Shall I chant again?"
"H-hiii!"
"Are you the mastermind behind this uproar?"
"W-wrong. I'm not!"
"What's the difference? You're the one who called the bandits, right?"
"Wrong! I was threatened. I don't want to be killed..."
"[My hand heals [Heal]]"
"Gyaaaaahh!"
"It's time for you to be honest with me, hey!"
"Hii!"
A sword pierces my arm
"Gaaaahh!"
"I can use healing magic four more times, you know? Should I use it at once? Or do you want me to stab you in various places?"
"W-woman!"
"What woman?"
"A-a woman dumped me. So I thought I'd scare her a little! I-I didn't expect this to happen."
"I didn't think so. That's not possible, is it? [My hand heals...]"
“W-wait! I'm sorry. The day after she dumped me, a man came to visit me."
"What did he look like?"
"I-I don't know, he had his hood up so high I couldn't see him. He said his name was François Prelati."
"Heh... go on?"
"He introduced me to the bandits, and that's how I came up with this plan!"
"You?"
"Ye..."
"[My...]"
"I-it was him! It was his idea."
"Francois Prelati, huh... is he on the move again?"
"That's all I know!"
"Really?"
"It's true! Believe me! Please forgive me!"
The man with the evil smile drops his hand.
"I didn't say I would let you go, did I?"
"Eh?"
"Then you'll tell everyone in the village and say sorry. Yes, I'm sure they're waiting for you."
"No! Wait a minute. Let me go. They'll kill me!"
"You've caused trouble in the village, so shouldn't the villagers be the ones to decide? I don't care what happens to you."
"Hiii!"
He grabbed me by the hair and dragged me away.
In the village, people I knew were watching
