Kelly Murdoch spent her childhood in the dark muddy.

From the time Murdoch was eight years old, he was sexually abused by his father. My mother knew it, but she didn't see it.

Now that he's eleven, Murdock feels nothing but despair in his life. I can't think of myself as embarrassing and make friends.

Dark eyes that don't seem like children, a stubborn face. And Murdock, who was always walking in a nervous mood. Even under the light of the sun, the world looks dark. Even if there are occasional pleasures, it is immediately dominated by emptiness.

What's the matter, kid?

One day, a homeless old man called out to Murdoch. A pretty old man in his late eighties or nineties.

Murdock told the old man what he was doing, hoping he could save anyone.

"I see... that's a big deal..."

The old man stroked Murdoch's head with sympathy.

"I don't know what kind of person the boyfather is, but the boyfriend is going to grow up." When you grow up. Until you grow up - no, even when you grow up, does your dad still do it to you? The kid is about his age. Why don't you just go against it? Don't be scared, I'll beat my dad to death... oh, I'm sorry. That's no good after all. Well, is it safe to call the police? Or maybe there's a place to talk about child abuse, so maybe we should investigate and talk about it. "

The old man advises. I was thinking about those things in conjunction with Murdoch. But Murdock was also afraid that his world would be devastated. There was such a fear that it might get worse.

"Why don't you just leave me alone?"

When Murdock conveys his fear, the old man looks a little angry.

"Well, it's up to you." Why can't I do it? I can be your talkative partner, though. "

Seeing Murdock frightened, the old man quickly broke up.

"I'll give my amulet to the kid."

That said, the old man handed Murdoch the gun.

"Keep it. Just holding it will change your mind." Why don't you get some courage? Isn't that exciting? You've got the power to kill people whenever you want. That's why my kid is so strong. All you have to do is take a step. "

With the gun in his hand, Murdoch was certainly enraged. But that didn't change everything. Not to mention I don't want to kill people with this gun.

However, I don't think I'm going to return the gun I got to the old man or let go. The gun became the foundation of Murdoch's heart.

Since then, Murdoch has become close to the old man and often meets and talks with him.

The old man didn't talk much about his body, but from the old stories that occasionally disappeared, it can be seen that he was a muscle worker.

It happened one day.

Murdock saw the old man being assaulted by the hungry. There are four people who are considered to be defective from the middle to the second half of their teenage years.

Murdoch hardened in fear. I can see that even if I get help, I will only get assaulted together. However, I can leave it like this, and I hear a fierce appeal inside me.

Murdoch was firing at them when he noticed. No one hit them, but when they saw Murdoch holding a gun, the ghosts ran away.

Murdoch, who acted with courage and chased away the dicks, somehow fell into such a sensation that he woke up. I felt like I was out of a world of nightmares.

"Thank you, kid. You're a man against the current."

When the old man who was lying on the hospital bed woke up, he looked at Murdoch's face and thanked him happily.

"The world is flushed with people." There are not many people who stand up and swim against the current. It's hard. But there was a time when I had to do that. The boy stepped forward thoughtfully. I defied the flow. Because of you, I was saved. "

An old man who speaks contentedly and praises Murdoch.

"Remember how you felt earlier." Step aside. Raise your face when you walk. Open your eyes firmly. Save yourself this time. You're all right now. "

Murdoch felt like he was waking up again to a powerful old man. I can feel the light coming in. I feel that I have changed.

Murdoch stopped nodding. I had a strong self-confidence because I changed my life.

After leaving the hospital, Murdoch lifted his chest, raised his face, went home with a bright expression, and shot his father. He pulled out his hips and pointed a gun at his shivering mother, threatening the police with robbery.



A meeting of executives was held at the Nudist School in Agito. Half of them attend by remote participation.

"There is no objection to Luke's cauldron becoming a Murdock, even in terms of achievements and strengths. But... can the Nudist School maintain its current strength after Luke is gone? People will be unhappy with that.”

One of the executives speaks as if to speak for the hearts of all the executives.

"It would be difficult if the Nudist School unified the underground organization in the United States. It's hard to manage after unification. Well then, you can't just throw away your big ambition, and talk about living a life of modesty."

Marigan, who was sitting in the upper seat, sarcastically said.

"If the boss is gone and sinks, that can't be helped." It was too much power for us. "

The oldest veteran says in a hilarious tone.

"If we can maintain our current forces, we will not surpass them." But there was nothing I could do without it. And while Luke is alive, you just have to get where you can go. "

No one disagreed with Murdock's words.

The meeting is over, and only Luke and Murdoch remain in the meeting room.

"I wish I could share my life with Luke."

"What are you talking about?"

Luke, who was next to Murdoch, frowned at the dialogue he had spoken.

"I mean it."

Murdock speaks for himself.

Murdock met Luke when Luke was only five years old. At that time, Murdock was still at the bottom, and Luke's caretaker was ordered. Then we were together for nearly ten years.

"I feel like I'm swinging everyone in the organization with my big ambition."

"Huh? We've all known each other and we're dating." At least I'm having a lot of fun because of you. This is the most enjoyable time. It's pounding all over the place. Rampage in a place where you could die. This is a serious move on the part of the executives. Probably the same thing happened to that woman, King. I'm possessed by the thrill of death. "

Luke felt envious of Murdoch, who spoke with a smile. If you have a healthy body, you may want to go berserk like Murdock or King.

"It's something that executives and bosses don't normally do, right? I'll leave it to the bottom."

Luke said with a little thought.

"There are some people who say it's ridiculous, and they're probably more right." It's not just thrills. When I'm at the scene, there's a lot of drama. Ahh... I shouldn't have bragged about this in front of you. "

"It's too late. Murdock is a terrible man."

Luke joked and smiled at Murdoch, who looked a little awkward.



The King lives with Yukie in the hobby room of Ajito. Yukie was playing a game.

Why are you talking about land?

It's not wild.

In response to King's question, Yukie answered expressionlessly as she turned to the holographic display.

"It's not wild, but I can't answer in a word. There were a lot of things before I met Land. I couldn't help an invisible kitten, but I was saved by an invisible landmass? Oh, I don't know what you're talking about. I wonder why you're with someone as bad and crazy as Land."

"Whether you're crazy or you're an evil person, I can see that it's the foundation of your heart." But isn't it possible to do something else? "

Is that what King says when he doesn't like land and wants to pull land away from me?

Asked by Yukie, King frowned and exhaled in small breaths.

"Don't take it in such a refractive way." I'm wondering about him, and I'd like to know what happened to Yukiki about him. For now, you're already our family. "

"I see... I'm sorry."

Listening to King's words, Yeokichi took his eyes off the display, turned to King and apologized honestly.

(Unlike on land, this one doesn't smell rotten in the soul. I can only feel the danger that Yukichi is attracted to land and is acting together)

Thinking of being able to control the land through Yukichi, King first tried to learn about Yukichi, but in a sense, he began to think that Yukichi was a more difficult child than the land.

"If you tell a rumor..."

King mutters when he sees the land approaching us.

I'll be frank.

King called out to the land next to Yukie.

What?

You know who I am, and you've been in contact with me systematically, right?

"How did you know?"

Pointed out by King, Lando admitted lightly without misleading him, making a strange face.

"My footprints [Sakuseki] - I deliberately left behind the footprints of my half-clone as mad scientist Junko Yukioka." It seems easy to find. If anyone follows him, we'll know. It was to lure the enemy to me, but you're no different. What's the point? "

"I can only say that's the mission of the game. Maybe you're a player, too? But it's a hassle to talk about."

Lu replied with a strange mouthful to King, who was questioning him in a mean tone.

"King, there's nothing wrong with land, king, or tea time on the battlefield."

Yukie speaks.

(Even if it's not on land, how about from someone who has a connection to land?)

It was the King I was investigating.

And there's a phone call coming in. It was against Luke.

"I want to meet and talk to you. Come alone without a bodyguard. I'll do the same."

Leaving his seat and taking the phone, Luke suddenly bumps into such a request.

"You don't think I'm going to kill you or take you hostage?"

It's not worth it. The executives know that my life is scarce, and they've already decided on my cauldron. "

Luke said in a clear tone to the dazed King.
