A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

"Am I not human?

"... it's mixed up. The blood of men and demons."

"Really?"

"Oh, no doubt."

"Really....."

Having heard the words, she understood. I want to know why I'm in that place and what that research facility looks like. I don't think I have a mother. My father is gone, but my mother is gone. No, perhaps that father isn't really his father either. Claudia was smart enough to understand the situation in the boxyard together with her current words.

I am an artificially created being. Knowing the fact, she realized that she was less shocked than she thought. Rather, the mystery was solved and I was satisfied with everything. What were you born for? Even if I only found out part of the reason, it made sense to go outside. Claudia's thoughts caught on to her, while the opposing Magus stared at her.

(This child... maybe...)

Magus was thinking. I don't know if this child exists, but it could be used for that. Rather, this is a good opportunity. That's what I thought. There are various circumstances on the side of the Magus. Nothing in this twilight world is completely dominated by the Demons.

The demons were part of the demons, and the demons were at odds with each species. Hundreds of years ago, the demons started a confrontation against the human demons. From there, the forces were broadly divided into three parts.

Magus, subhuman, monster. These three factions have been fighting for nearly a hundred years. Among them, this child could be the key to breaking the status quo. That's what the Magus thought.

It's Claudia.

Hmm?

"Don't you want to know about this world?"

"Will you tell me? I'm not going to kill you, just like these people."

Claudia points to the bodies scattered around her. It would be a scattered substitute for ordinary people screaming and fleeing. Claudia, on the other hand, is not afraid of such things. I'm just making a casual guess. As he watched, the Magus liked her even more. It was just the time when the Magus thought about intervening in humans. The Magus talked about it. About the state of the world at dusk. Claudia had access to information that humanity could never know.

◇

It won't be two hours in time. Claudia had already returned to the boxyard and was in her room as usual. No one knew that she had left this lab.

"Well, let's study again today, Claudia."

"Mmm!!

Then he started studying with Freesia with a nasty face. She went to dusk and met the Magus. What she said was more exciting to her than anything else. We can't end up in such a tiny world. She thought so and decided to betray humanity. No, it may be strange to betray it.

It was a contract. Claudia didn't hate humans and fall for the Magus. She's got something to do, so she's on the Magus side. I didn't get lost. That is all she cares about, and there are only a few other things. Of course, the freesians educated her. It was mainly an explanation of how the Demons are enemies of mankind and how evil they are. But Claudia wasn't as simple as that.

She just wanted to know. The truth of this world. The creation of this world. I defined it by myself as the meaning of my birth. Then... I don't need this boxyard anymore.

And she keeps playing the clown for years to make a plan. Just an innocent girl. Without doubt, I tried to be moderately smart and moderately stupid. Listen to adults and deliver results in magic experiments. The ideal child they want. I kept playing it.

After a while... the time has come.

"Claudia... why... why are you..."

Right in front of me was Freesia. Years since then. Claudia has already grown sufficiently to be almost complete. And when they tried to let her go to dusk, it happened.

Claudia relentlessly killed all the people in this boxyard. Shoot everyone in the neck. It was as unproductive as breathing. Her magic skills were already superior to those of the Premium vs. Mage.

"Why? Nothing. I just don't want to be your tool here."

"Oh no... but... I see..."

Claudia killed a fellow who had been studying together for years. But Freesia didn't hate her like that. I don't know why she did such a thing. There was nothing but confusion. But there was a gradual budding of other emotions in his heart.

Claudia has grown up well and is about to move forward on her own accord. I don't know what lies ahead of the bloody world, but he was relieved. Don't let that phantom fool you anymore. And my beloved daughter will kill me. It's too late for me to be guilty like a mountain. Yes, at the end... I thought.

Bye, Dad.

"... Claudia. My dearest daughter, be a master."

Claudia mercilessly chopped his head off. No hesitation, no guilt. This was work. It's not killing. Prepare below for your upcoming plan. When she licked the scattered blood, she stared lightly at the tragedy. What the hell is in your eyes...

This is how her life begins.
