"Ugh... uh... kill me... kill me... please, kill me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah."
Someone's voice echoes around in the dark.
But no one listens to the request of the one who is uttering his voice, and on the contrary, if the person screams, he just screams, and the momentum of red blood flows from the tube that is stabbed in his body.
If it's normal, there's no way the person is going to die when they say they're draining blood that's just not weird to die for.
The reason for this is the gem embedded in a man's forehead.
... If Lemuria were here on this occasion, she would definitely have been surprised.
Because it was a magically enclosed gem that only the Lemurian clan should have today.
It's not just a jewel, either. White, that gem, which you can call pure white, showed that it is restorative magic that is enclosed.
Its healing magic effect enabled the person being stabbed in the tube in the body to survive due to the healing magic that continued to activate faintly, without losing blood even after being drained in large quantities.
But naturally, if you are so unscrupulous, it is more likely that you are using healing magic.
In fact, this person never dies but always suffers severe pain due to the embedding of a healing magical embedded gem... which is what keeps him savoring the pain of not being strange whenever he dies.
In the first place, magical gems cease to work once they are used.
That's what can crumble depending on the quality of the gem.
Even so, the jewels buried in this person's forehead are not used all the healing magic sealed inside at once, but little by little, really little by little.
Naturally, that was not done by the person embedded with the jewel himself, but by the person who tied the man's hands and feet with chains and was unable to move.
Severe pain after severe pain.
That was the person who shouted without getting used to the pain or anything... but inadvertently, the scream that was leaking out of its mouth would subside.
"... ah..."
I have no idea what happened and only the missing voice in between came out of the man's mouth.
It's no surprise that that happened because the severe pain so far disappeared in an instant.
Still, after a few minutes, I could remember why I had been like that...
Originally, it wasn't strange to have a strong anger at the person who had tricked himself into bringing him to this occasion, but the severe pain he had been feeling had completely deprived him of such strength.
Now, I just want to immerse myself in this peaceful moment that I visited unexpectedly.
I wouldn't have any choice but to think so.
With a little more energy with this, it's no wonder I'm going to do something about it from the current situation... that's what I can't afford to think about that for someone who has continued to taste the pain extensively.
It would be easier if I went mad, but the restorative magic of the gems embedded in my forehead did not allow such imitation.
Even now, the healing magic in the gem was slowly but continuously activated, trying to bring the person back to normal, albeit slightly.
……
There was no pain or anything, and the person nowadays had nothing to think about and had no choice but to rub into a peaceful moment.
and such a moment of tranquility ends abruptly.
Unexpectedly, the only door in this room that leads outside was opened.
That didn't mean someone came in slowly either... but rampantly, forcefully, that's how it doesn't matter if it breaks.
"Boy, are you all right!
The person in the room slowly looks up to the scream of the person coming in through the ramblingly open door.
I hope I don't interrupt this tranquil moment I finally visited if I can.
With that in mind.
But such a person...... Geiska's thoughts are broken again with the voice of the person who came into the room.
"Boy, please hold on. Boy. It's me, it's Deotres. Boy!"
"Deo...... t...... les?
From Geiska's mouth, the name leaks.
That is the name of a person who is a subordinate of the belly for Gaiska.
The moment he uttered the person's name, Geiska's strength came up strangely.
Until a few seconds ago, even though that was the state to be called the living dead.
"Oh, yeah. Totally, when I came home from the party, I looked around because I didn't see the boy."
"Sa... and Ma... what? How much?
Geiska after being trapped in this room continued to suffer the blame of severe pain so much that it was not even a sense of time.
So when is this... I don't even know exactly how much time has passed since I came to this house and the feeling of time is completely paralyzed.
"Anyway, let's get out of here. I don't have a problem with that right now, but if we stay here, we might get a bunch of people from this mansion."
Get out of here.
The moment he hears it, Geiska feels his strength has returned not only to his qi but also to his body.
I have pain. I have pain... but I decided it was better to leave this house early and get my father to protect me than that pain.
You can say that Gaiska now is in exactly the kind of situation where the spirit outweighs the flesh.
It was Deotres, my belly mate, who was supposed to die without anyone knowing.
I'll get out of here at all costs and give myself the absolute reward I deserve for imitating myself like this.
Even if Geiska thinks of such thoughts, it's not strange.... No, given Ningro Geiska's character, it was even natural.
Using vengeance as food, I manage to get up on my feet.
With such a look at Geiska, Deotres unlocks the chain that binds Geiska's body with a key and pulls the tube that is stretching out of her body.
Gaiska had a slightly unpleasant look on her face at that time, but now she probably decided it was a priority to pull out the tube that was stabbing her in the body.
"So, how do I get out of here...?
The tone of asking Deotres can never be said to be powerful.
But still, unlike when I was in temporary peace until earlier, I was able to take firm action of my own volition.
"In the meantime, let's get out of here as soon as we can. There are people in this house with arms, so if they attack me like that, I can't protect you."
"... ok. Don't think you can just imitate me like this. I'll make you regret it."
Whimpering, Gaiska leaves the room, borrowing Deotres' shoulder.
This room is in the basement of Celestan's house.
That's why there was a staircase in front of me, and by going up it, I arrived in the hallway on the ground floor.
"Deotres, what I've heard is that there are tons of traps set in this house... no traps?
"Huh? Uh... I'm disarming the area, so there's no problem. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made it under you."
"Right."
Geiska is lightly convinced by Deotres' words, but Deotres is inherently a bandit or whatever, a warrior.
I didn't wonder about that because Geiska trusts Deotres so much, or because Geiska is mentally tired by acts that also amount to torture before?
Either way, Geiska doesn't look a little suspicious about it, and proceeds toward the front door.
Celestial houses are not as big as mansions.
Except it's in Slam Street, which is really just a normal house.... It's a subtle thing whether or not I can describe it as a normal whole house with a trap set in the house.
Geiska does not see that as an anomaly, but only thinks about getting out of this house first… eventually arrives in front of a door that leads outside.
Naturally, the distance is shorter than the house itself is not that wide.
That was a very helpful event for Gaiska, who is extremely depleting both her physical and mental strength.
That's how Deotres opens the door that leads outside...
"Oh, which way are you going?
Shortly before I open the door, there is the figure of a butler in this house, and I ask him that with a grin.
The deacon's face naturally remembers Geiska as well.
On the contrary, I could have said that it was one of the symbols of fear.
Until recently, that's what I thought, trying to make everyone living in this house regret being alive... the moment I saw the deacon's face, Geiska's thoughts like that are smeared with fear.
Still.
I guess I didn't make a scene as soon as I saw the butler's face, because there was more to Deotres than just me here.
With Deotres, you could beat this butler, too.
He said if we didn't win, there wouldn't be a problem if we were enough to get ourselves out of here.
With that in mind, Geiska tries to gaze at Deotres, who is lending herself a shoulder...
"Huh?"
With a mild shock, Geiska falls to the floor as she raises her missing voice between them.
Does the salvation at least mean that it was in the building that Gaiska was still there and he didn't have to fall into the cold ground in the winter?
Geiska, physically and mentally tired, was sometimes an unexpected shock, unable to imitate her hand when she fell on the floor, and rolled as she did.
As such, I think Deotres will reach out to help me with the rolling on the floor, and I turn my gaze to you...
……
What came back was a cold gaze, not a hand to help yourself up.
That's the kind of gaze you see in the trash or whatever it is falling on the side of the road.
"hey...... I'm gonna"
Guyska's words, barely out, are filled with anger.
That's why you, my belly mate, imitate like this.
Deotres, who is so gazed at, ignores Geiska's gaze and speaks to the butler.
"In the meantime, this garbage has regained some of its energy, and it's going to be more desperate and hateful than you asked."
The word out of Deotres' mouth was too much to tell Geiska what his current situation was.
"Why? Why... why imitate like this! You resent me, too!
"There will be. You think there isn't?
To Gaiska's words, short words out of Deotres' mouth.
But there was undoubtedly hatred in the words.
But Gaiska utters words, unaware of the hatred.
If I remained silent, I would have understood that when I was brought back to the basement earlier.
"Why! You would have done it by me! Why are you imitating me like this?
"... reused? Right. Let me be honest with you, you danced far more conveniently than I thought. That's why I don't need the hard work to make you dance."
The attitude and tone of Deotres, who tells him that, not long ago... there is nothing like the insecurity and familiarity when he called Gaiska a boy.
That's what keeps the word going without even trying to hide the hatred that's in you.
"I was dating a nasty incompetent like you because I thought that's how I could give you the most despair"
"Why, why imitate like that!
Geiska's words were with those she shouted almost seconds ago.
But it was only natural to turn to Deotres to ask him why he would be caught like this, beyond knowing why he would be caught this way by Geiska himself.
Deotres exhales like a flash into such Gaiska's words… the next moment, his anger also screams dewy.
"Who do you think will swear allegiance from the bottom of your heart to you, Lucha's enemy!
Lusha, and. That being said, Geiska can't remember.
However, it was predictable that he might be the one who killed or did something for some reason.
... For Gaiska, it probably wasn't worth remembering, for example, about a child under the age of ten, who slashed and dumped it as a trial slaughter for the famous sword and prestigious long sword he accidentally acquired.
That is also the oblivion of Deotres' beloved wife, who is only one daughter.
Deotres, who was an adventurer, used that handout to create a false background, dived into the Marquis Seysor family and waited for an opportunity for revenge.
That is to give Geiska a decisive ruin.
That's how this is the opportunity I've been waiting for.
"When you came into contact with these people, you thought heaven wasn't exactly letting me go.... That's why, Geiska... No, boy. You're gonna have to suffer to the end and then die, but good luck with that."
With the grin he deserved to call himself a vengeful ghost, Deotres reached out to bring Geiska back to the basement.
