Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

Applause Novel 16 Reaper's Resolve

"Only you survive!!

That's what my father told me, and I was forced to go to the hole.

Then, two knives are pressed.

I realized that was an indication of my father's cherished lord.

Surprisingly, he raises his father with his left eye held down by the loss of light.

"In the name of the Hiyuma clan, one day we'll find your only master, okay!! Cain!!"

All I can do is snort at my father, who tells me with an impatient look.

My father laughed happily at me like that.

"I asked you, you're the last hope of the clan."

That was the last thing I saw of my father, who was only 8 years old.

◇ ◇ ◇

Walk through dark alleys and into abandoned buildings.

Moments later, I felt a number of killings, but when I found out I was the one who came in, the killings were foggy.

Killing is the usual thing to do. I got used to it a long time ago.

"Yikes. Cain, are you done?"

A man comes here from the back of the room, following in his footsteps.

Redhead Jill. I don't know your last name. A man with nasty eyes like a snake.

He is the 'Red' guild master, the top guild in contention for one or two of the few assassin guilds in this Sahaja.

I hated this guy's laugh when he didn't know what he was thinking.

"... it was a lukewarm job"

"Any job would be lukewarm for you. You see, Red Reaper Sun? I'm glad I even got two fine names."

I feel uncomfortable being held shoulder to shoulder by intimacy.

I didn't think I wanted two names or anything. I was just following it if I noticed.

"Fix it"

"Oh, scary scary scary"

When he shook it off, Jill laughed and wouldn't get any closer.

When I was 8 years old, it was this guy who picked me up on the run from the north for half the fun.

"My guild is' red '. It's perfect for your red eye, isn't it?

That's how he brought me back, and this man, the Alliance Master, planted himself as an assassin.

"No, Cain's a good muscle. Come on, I'm happy. It's like I've lived this way all my life. You're a natural assassin... you're the only one I have left."

The words were simultaneously murderous from around them.

I don't care about the frustration around me either.

It's only a silly story that I'm a trail of abominations from all around me as a cursed red-eye.

I don't even want it. This is not my place.

"You know, I don't need anything like that"

"Don't say that, big jobs are coming in soon. If it succeeds, we'll pull out the 'black' and make sure it's a top guild, huh?

"You can do it on your own. It's none of my business."

"Hey, Cain."

Pay Jill for trying to touch me again, and I'll leave.

Norma's work is done. I want you to leave me alone.

Return to your private room silently.

A tasteless, dry room with only a simple bed. I don't think it's my room very well.

But I didn't feel like letting go of the personal room I was getting thanks to being # 1 in "Red".

Can you spend time in the same room as the others?

Colleagues who do the abominable job of assassins.

They were also orphans who lost their parents and brothers just like me.

These eyes are also spooked by them who are supposed to be such a kind.

They're legendary as a cursed clan for everything.

When I first heard it, I doubted my ears, but if you want to hate it, you can hate it.

I cut it off so much, but I knew they were reluctant, and I couldn't have bothered to get close.

I know you don't like it over there, but it's the same here.

I held my knee on the bed.

- Eight years.

Eight years after Jill picked me up.

By doing the job of assassination, I should have returned enough gratitude.

I don't think he's my husband. Then I have to go.

You have to fulfill your father's last wish.

I don't use clan moves for the work he brings.

Now I'm losing the light. Put your hand on my left eye.

The moves of the clan are performed solely for the service of their masters.

I feel anxious about the status quo.

We have to hurry.

He wants' Red 'to be the king's guild.

In that case, all this guild will be under King's command.

That was all I could not accept.

I was not willing to serve anything other than my chosen husband.

If it's to pass, there's nothing like blood all over it.

Anyway, this hand is already stained with a lot of blood.

I don't think anything more now with a few more people.

I held my hand for a long time.

"Father... because I will always fulfill my vows"

Feeling the time approaching, I kept squatting in my room alone.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Got my next job!! It's a request from the state!! If this works, I can be your guild to the king!!

Reddishing his face, Jill came home excited.

To the words, the colleagues raise their voice of joy.

But my heart went cold on the other hand.

- Are you finally here?

Listen to Jill with a face that doesn't eat.

I thought I needed to know exactly what was going on.

"It's the job of assassinating royalty in other countries. I'm afraid I'm not that into it, but I can be the country's embracing guild as a reward for success. Now I'm not gonna let the 'black' guys have big faces anymore."

Co-workers gather around Jill, who brag about it.

Everyone was listening to him with excitement.

I don't feel like joining that gathering at all, and I turn back one heel.

Such a voice of restraint from Jill rose to me.

"Hey, not to mention Cain. We're not done here, are we?

"I don't have it. Work as usual. That's all right."

He said so with a frown, but Jill shook his head with a slight laugh of the example.

"No, you can't. I want you to think about the next operation. As the next Alliance Master."

"What?"

The surprise of the colleagues around me was bigger than my surprise voice.

The voice became a voice of reproach and turned into an appeal against Jill.

"Jill!! Are you serious!! I can't believe these guys are next guild masters!! None of us will admit that!!

"Yes!! Can you keep up with these red eyes?!

The hustle and bustle, you can say whatever you want, but okay.

Even I'm not going to be like that.

But Jill silenced them all with one gaze.

"... I made up my mind. Are you complaining?

"No......"

Even though he hasn't been at work lately, the power of the previous top is even greater.

Jill tells her coworkers who shut up as soon as possible.

"Is there someone in there who can beat Cain? To the Red Reaper Sun.... Besides, we're in the same condition that Cain succeeds us."

Look at this one for what it means, Jill.

Everyone turned away from the words at once.

Mostly hostile gaze. I feel nauseous.

"Well, that's why, Cain. Load the dossier by tomorrow and think about the draft operation. Here."

Then they throw a bunch of paperwork and rush to receive it.

It's an assassination target, an important document with detailed information about it.

I crushed it without even looking through it.

"I didn't say I'd do it."

Jill grinned furiously when she told him with a glance.

"We'll have to do it, won't we? You, the king has nominated you. Come on. You're not smart enough to turn your country against your enemies. Huh?

……

"Bye. Meet them all first thing tomorrow morning. Cain, think about the operation by then."

Waving at me for not answering, Jill leaves.

I bit my teeth off.

As an Alliance Master, you say you will be in the King's arms??

Who can become such a thing?

Ignore the piercing gaze from your colleagues and head back to your room.

I threw the paperwork on the bed.

I visited earlier then than I had thought.

There is no longer a moment of respite.

The time has come to decide on a proposal that I have been thinking about for some time.

I quietly consolidated my resolve.

- The showdown is tonight.

I will never be under the king's command.

I decide who my lord is.

◇ ◇ ◇

It was late at night.

The sky is high and the cold moon is shining.

It's terribly cold on desert nights with a strong difference in warmth.

I stood silently up in the freezing cold, standing still on the bed without a single sleep.

As strange as it was, my heart was stunned. I'm calmer than I usually am at work.

I was confident that this would work.

I wasn't willing to turn back.

The goal is the annihilation of all Alliance members.

I'm not willing to take over the guild.

But Jill would never forgive me.

His aim is and always has been to make the 'red' guild a national embrace.

You can say I've done this before for that.

But that chance won't come true if I lose it.

I knew it couldn't be allowed to say I honestly wanted to leave.

I also thought about not being able to make an arrow run, but I'm sure there will be a chase.

That man won't let me get away with it.

I was thankful that you picked it up, but eight years of free work should be enough.

If you want to block my whereabouts, of course I will.

All the worries of the hindsight go away.

Leading Must Win.

- Today, it's all over.

Resolve again, breathe.

The knife of the clan was wrapped in cloth and placed on the waist.

Instead, I take the little sword I use at work.

Pull the sword out of the sheath.

I found my mode switched to nature.

It's okay, I can do it.

He nodded and slipped out of the room where he would never go back.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Yikes!!... Guaaah"

"Hiccup."

Relying only on the moonlight, I sift the blade lightly.

In a room that had already turned into a sea of blood, I stuck my sword silently, listening to the Terminator. Blood erupts from the wound.

I avoided it lightly. It's what amateurs do when they bathe in blood.

By waving his sword, he drops his blood paste and quietly heads to his next goal.

I sneaked incense in advance in the large room where my colleagues were.

Something that deepens sleep and is commonly used for work.

Even if they rot, they're working as assassins.

Normally it doesn't depend on anything like this, and I didn't expect that much, but I guess being within my territory induced alarm.

Most of them had fallen into deep sleep.

Let that sleep be used to turn it into eternal sleep without hesitation.

Not for a moment, I wasn't lost.

They were the ones who didn't originally think anything of it. Rather, I blame it.

I stabbed each and every one of them with certainty.

Of course some of them are alert and not sleeping.

That kind of guy, he took it back from the front.

"Red Eyes!! You!! You betrayed me!!

"Don't call me by a strange name. I'm Cain."

Another colleague, who came to the large room, sees the misery in the room and turns a hateful eye.

I looked back and laughed lightly.

"You're next..."

"Let it be!! Die!!"

I'll throw a bunch of knives as it is.

I calmly identified the orbit and played it all with my sword.

"What!?

"Hey, what are you gonna do if you can't do this much?"

I went to be stunned by a man who looked surprised.

That's why I haven't been in the # 1 seat of 'Red' for years.

He used his rigid time after throwing the knife to dive into his nostrils and pound his heart into one.

With a stunned look on his face, the opponent collapsed to the floor.

"This is the 20th man.... No more swords."

Many blood-sucking swords were heavy and poorly cleaved.

Toss it on the floor lightly.

Karan and the dry noise sounded.

Take the sword on the hips of a man who has just fallen into his hands instead.

Finally, I picked up the knife as well.

Basically, weapons are paid the same thing. It's easy to use and pretty good.

Looking in the moonlight, there was a pile of corpses in the room.

Calmly count it and match it with your own memory.

I thought about how many people I would have to finish later.

I chose today for a reason.

Jill summoned everyone because it was a big job from the country.

An opportunity for almost everyone to get together.

There was only one time to run it tonight.

Leakage is not allowed.

… be sure to put them all to rest.

"Wow!!...... Grr!!

One more person, back in his room.

The moment you raise your voice, throw the knife you just picked up with your opponent's throat up.

There was a sound of cutting the air and the knife fitted nicely in the place where it was intended.

He groaned, and one sank again.

"21..."

There is a backward smell of blood all over the room.

Normally, it smells like nausea, dark death.

But I got used to it. I don't feel anything now.

It's more important to count the number you slaughtered.

Slash people like flow work and keep throwing knives.

Little by little, the signs of a living human disappear.

In that situation, I think maybe I was laughing.

Distort your mouth.

- That's why they call it 'Reaper' or something.

◇ ◇ ◇

I felt that there were no more signs of movement in the building, and I finally stopped moving.

Again I counted the number of bodies and looked up.

Bad, not enough one.

So for the first time, I realized that there was no man to laugh at.

The man who created the trigger in the first place.

Jill, guild master of "Red".

It wouldn't have made sense if we hadn't cleaned him up.

But he has a house outside.

I guess the fact that you're not here now means you're back at home.

He's unusually alert.

The location of the home was not known as one person.

Will it come back?

If you do poorly, it could be morning.

I wanted to leave the country in the middle of the night if I could, but I can't leave Jill behind.

Even if it was somewhat troublesome, only that man wanted to kill for sure.

If you leave him, you'll definitely regret it from now on.

It's more troublesome than it is now.

Something that just won't come home...... when I started thinking about it with frustration.

"Well, I did it flashy"

... I heard that man from my back.

"Jill."

Looking back, staring at Jill.

"Hey, Cain. Looking good."

I know I shouldn't say it, but I find myself disgusted by a man who can't shake at all when he sees the corpse of a large number of his companions.

...... still disgusting.

I didn't feel like continuing the conversation with this man, and I put up my sword silently.

"Come on, don't do this. Let's discuss this in peace. Huh?

I really can't believe this guy's nerves.

"Discuss? Look at this tragedy, are you still saying that?

If she frowned at the discomfort, Jill nodded with a tremendous trick.

"It's obvious, right? I can replace as many members as I want. You don't know. There's no contradiction in my actions, is there?

"I'm a substitute for you."

So I told him to stop obsessing with me, but he shook his head.

I feel a little anxious that it is a serious face that I rarely see.

"No, you're not. The last survival of the Hiyuma clan. That's what you're worth."

"Nah!?

Jill's words harden my body.

I never told this man about my qualities.

Little is known about the fact that the Red Eyes are of the Hiyuma clan.

And yet how does this man know?

Jill laughed when she saw me change her complexion. I have a creepy grin that sounds like hey.

"Strange? I guess so. I didn't get this information. It's from someone who wanted to hold you. Come on."

"... what?

I stare at him in response to words I won't listen to.

Jill hasn't moved at all.

I was so calm that I was angry.

I don't even care about the corpse at my feet.

It's as if nothing exists.

I was relieved by the indifference.

So far, there is no way to hold a weapon.

But I know that inadvertently approaching this man means death.

Looking at me reflectively distanced, Jill continued the conversation looking interesting.

"He knew about your clan, and he really wanted it. He is highly capable of combat and does not disobey any orders after serving his husband. Exactly the best pawn ever. If I didn't want to die, I threatened to serve every family."

The words remind me of that day.

A conversation between the adults of the clan who told me they were surrounded by soldiers.

"I refuse to accept the Lord's compulsion!

"You think you have the whole Hiyuma clan? Don't be ridiculous!

Everyone was angry suddenly.

"If you can't get it no matter how much you want it, you're gonna have to crush it, right? If you don't serve yourself, destroy them all before they become a threat. It's natural to think so as a governor, isn't it?

"No way, you attacked us..."

A conclusion that I never thought about before comes to mind.

He packed it again just the minute I got my distance.

I get the feeling that I'm more cornered by the movement of a whole natural body.

"I was surprised when" Red "asked me to retrieve the escaped boy. Yeah? I don't know what the great guy thinks because he wants me to educate him as an assassin.... Well, I never thought you had these creepy red eyes?

Stunned by Jill's words.

I was told that everything had been set up and it seemed to get dark in front of me.

"... wasn't it a coincidence that you picked me up"

Jill laughed at me like that, gasping.

"That's not true. Oh. The King's orders. King's orders are absolute in this country.

I will raise you up and have you hold every 'red' guild in the future. That's what I promised you from the beginning. "

Out of the way, Jill kicked up his buddy's body.

"Even the kid Hiyuma is Hiyuma. What's the matter? He wanted your family. All the more so if you're the only one left. I was on it."

……

I just stare at the man in front of me who lightly told me who the enemies of the clan were.

In the land of the enemy, I was told that they had been educated as much as possible with the hands and feet of the enemy, and the nausea came in.

"If it wasn't for work, there'd be no way I'd pick up a creepy kid like you. There are so many orphans in this country."

I could see my heart freezing over the revealed truth and Jill's words.

- Right, right.

If you think a little bit about why Jill took me personally for an aversion, you'll see.

Yet I wasted eight years trying to repay my debt.

- - Whoo-hoo, how ridiculous.

Instead of a benefactor, he stared at the man who was in charge of one of the enemies' sticks.

I think again.

I will never forgive this man. And the king of this country, of course, but this is the first one.

But the man also laughed and proclaimed.

"I'm not letting you get away with this, Cain. The king wants to see you. I'll have you take on every 'red'. Huh?

"Say no."

I clearly refused.

My enemy is the king of Sahaja.

It's impossible to serve the enemy.

But Jill wasn't listening to my answer.

"It's good to be a member. You just have to kill them all. I'll refill as much as I can. But you can't. I thought I spent eight years educating you for what? It's all about making my guild a national embrace."

As we speak, Jill's expression dwells on madness.

My eyes shimmer and I keep talking like I'm floating in heat.

"Being in the arms of a country means being able to recognize power. That way, all sorts of things will be privileged, right? Even the house is paid for. I can get a flat salary. If you want the right place, you can have it ready!

"It's none of my business. I have to find the Lord. So I'm going."

"I won't let you go."

For the first time there, Jill took out his own prey.

Look at that. I'll have another sword.

"You think you can beat me?

I didn't know.

In fact, Jill's skill is enormous.

I would have just said half the chance of winning.

To be honest, there's no such thing as defeating a man if you use clan moves and magic.

That's just not allowed.

Even if I were to die, I had to confront Jill with just the technology I could use right now.

"You can't beat me. Oh, my God, I'm just going to gently punish you. I'm not gonna kill you. If I kill him, he'll ruin my plan."

I bite my teeth at Jill, who says it can be anything.

Regrettably.

And Jill fluttered and rocked her body.

stays in shape and jumps off the spot.

One piece of clothing I was wearing had been torn apart.

"Ahhh, now I can avoid that one. Ah. I think you should be serious."

Looking back, Jill was moving to a different position than before.

I can't hide my surprise too fast.

Jill stood up again, laughing.

"Oh, I'm gonna go again. Huh?

"Come on!"

Exactly. Next time I reacted. Prevent Jill's blade with his own sword.

Jill raised her eyebrows.

"Stop this, you're starting to do it too."

"Shut up, die!

Undo the blade and strike continuously.

Jill doesn't break his laugh lightly over all of it.

But he fell apart for a moment for some reason.

Later on, it was the blood I had created because they took my legs, but it was my only chance.

He was unconsciously removing the knife he had hidden and poking it into Jill's chest.

"Gu!"

Relax and spit blood, Jill took a distance from me.

The knife stares at me as it is.

Finally, the laughing face was stained with anger.

"Cain!... How dare you avenge your gratitude!

I laugh with my nose at what I say until it sounds stupid.

What do you owe me?

"At the time you were King's Guru, those things could not disappear"

Saying so, Jill laid her hands on the ground.

"Gu... Damn it, my plan is... I finally got here. Hey, are you going to end up interrupted by such a bad kid!

Sitting back, Jill turning a resentful look.

I was breathless, staring at Jill like that.

Jill's attack was not made with strength. There were many elements of luck.

Jill hits the floor with his bush many times.

"I won't forgive you, I'll never forgive you. If this happens, I'll take you with me. I'll never forgive you for surviving alone!

Jill, who shouted along with words of resentment, raised her hands and quickly activated the sorcery formation.

Black sorcery formation. Surprisingly much stands up for the two snake-like texts that have surfaced.

"The curse of Sahaja!

I can see what Jill is going to do, and I'm stunned.

He activated the spell in exchange for his life.

Jill laughs contentedly when she looks at me.

"Yes, it is a death curse that definitely erases the subject in exchange for the life of the surgeon. Suffer, Cain! And then you go around and you end up strangled by a curse!

In response to Jill's cry, the sorcerers emit black light.

And the light jumped in with my heart beating and pain.

"Come on!"

Unexpectedly kneel and hold down the heart.

When she saw it, Jill narrowed her eyes.

"It feels good.... waiting in hell first... hey..."

That's what I left out, Jill stopped moving.

I can see that the heart burst in consideration for exercising the spell.

Make sure Jill is dead and exhale deeply.

I need to know exactly what's going on. I thought so. I barely took my chest off.

As I thought, a black magic formation was rising as if it were a burning mark over my heart.

It is quickly absorbed into the body.

"Ugh... Gu..."

I stood up in agony.

I can't relax.

The Alliance destroyed it, but I can't say enough that it won't take a chase from the country.

Especially when I find out that the king's purpose is my own.

I go out crazy, dying, holding my heart.

If we don't hurry, the sun will rise.

We need to get as far as we can now and cross the border.

Even if he hangs the curse of death, I still haven't given up leaving this country.

The king, the enemy, wants to kill you. But not yet.

"Where do I go...?

I hesitate for a moment without being sure of my destination.

I don't want to go back north. There's nothing over there.

And then there are the big countries of the east and the trading countries of the south.

You can go either way.

That's what I thought, and I noticed that the east just started to get brighter.

I guess the morning sun will rise.

That's all you normally think about. But.

The east seemed strangely bright to me then.

I take the path to nature and east as I am pushed by that feeling.

"Gu... ha... ah"

I know it's futile, but take every step of the way while keeping the curse as subdued as possible with your own magic.

Still to be seen, only the presence of the eastern country was poking and moving me now.
