Souen no historia

In the city of [Acatol], Trante met Neos, a silver-haired young man with a strange red brown robe. We met in the middle of the night. Neos talked to Trunte, who was walking around Habri's mansion.

"You have a lot of hatred."

Huh?

At first, I thought that Neos appeared suddenly and Trunte might be the official who came to capture himself as a suspect, but apparently not.

"My name is Neos. Don't you want to make hate work?

Neos' words sounded like sweet whispers.

"It was definitely Hubby who killed your grandfather. I saw a scene where I was dealing with Golden Bandit. That's where I hear him say your grandfather's name. He said... happiness is the taste of honey when business enemies disappear from the world."

In a moment, the uncertain feelings of Trente swell up all at once, which takes the form of anger and gives rise to obvious intentions to kill.

"But there are plenty of bodyguards in the Mansion. You won't make it to him alone. I'm the one who gets caught and killed."

"Me, I..."

Still, if I could clear this hatred, I would bite my teeth tight.

"Let's do it."

Huh?

Neos takes something like a bud of flowers out of his pocket. Then strip a petal from there. It seemed poisonous and strange, glowing red and black.

"Hubby fattened his stomach and killed your grandfather in peace. He's a villain who's trapped people, betrayed them, and killed thousands of people in the shadows. This Negative Bud will give you the power to kill him."

"Here, this is for me...."

To be honest, Trante sold and exchanged magic items in the store for cash, and with that money he got information about Habri from an informant. There was still room for money, but no matter how much money he had, he couldn't even get close to Habri in Trunto, where he didn't have the power.

It is imperative that Hubby, who knows that he is Lord Narios' grandson, receives an advance on his visit. That's why I wanted to get closer and find out the truth.

"Ho, is it true that Haburi killed Grandpa...?

"Don't underestimate my information. He's a black man. The evidence....."

Then suddenly a crack appeared in the space from which a person appeared. There is a black bowl on the forehead depicted as x. It was one of the trademarks of Golden Bandit.

"Come," Golden Bandit "...?

"That's right. And he was one of those who attacked Lord Narios that day."

"Hmm!?

At that moment, the intention to kill swelled up tremendously in the trumpet. Neos stopped me when I accidentally took the knife I was carrying around my waist and tried to attack the man in the Stunned Bandit.

"Well, wait. Look at that."

Neos pointed his finger at one store.

"This is one of Habri's stores.... hey"

When Neos utters a voice to the fallen man, he stands up with a slow movement. I noticed it for the first time, but something like a red and black hammer was leaking out of the man's chest.

"Look, this is power."

What did the man think in that word? Take the bottle out of his pocket and put it over his head.

"Ah!... is this alcohol?

The smell of alcohol makes Trunte look bad at alcohol. The man is then handed something from Neos. It was a magic item that could ignite fire. It looks like a candle, but the tip is lit by magic.

And put the ignited fire on your body. Of course, his body reacts to alcohol and burns vigorously.

"No, what are you doing!?

Without worrying about Trente's stunned appearance, the man stormed straight into the store.

"Come on, you too."

Soon there will be a similar Golden Bandit around Neos, setting fire to his body and heading to the store. The sight is very heterogeneous. Running around in flames without screaming makes you feel like you're in a fantasy.

"Now Hubby's shop disappears from the world with the people who killed your grandfather. How are you feeling?

"Ah... uhh..."

I didn't know. They certainly remember the intention to kill. But still, I'm wandering around like I'm losing sight of where the vector of feelings is going.

"This time it's that mansion. Just burn it with your hands."

"Eh... but there are people who have nothing to do with it..."

Some of them are just servants hired by Hubby, and some of his family. Hubby is the only one who has a feeling of hatred.

"You don't understand. It's called joint responsibility. And you don't think they realize what Hubby's doing with his family?

…………

"I don't think so. You must be pretending to be aware and unaware. Thanks to them, we are living a prosperous life. Knowing that there are many victims in our lives... Do you think there's room for sympathy?

"Well, that's...."

But it's still Haburi who dirty his hands directly. And yet it must be wrong to kill everyone living in the Mansion...

"Prepare yourself, Trante Narios."

A petal released from Neos. It was snorted into Trunte's chest.

"Agh!?

Electric shock running from the chest to the whole body. Your consciousness is about to fly, but you won't be allowed to pass out because of the severe pain. Trunte's eyes became red and congested, and a lot of saliva fell out of his mouth.

"Now, feed on hatred, feed on grief, distort pain....."

Hearing the words of Neos, hatred and killing spread even faster.

Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

An instinct that repeats itself in your head over and over again. However, the gentle face of Lord Narios comes to mind behind Trunte's head.

"Th... i-chan..."

Don't be swallowed by this feeling. Even as you think about it, your awareness of just wanting to entrust yourself to your instincts grows.

"... hmm, don't resist for a long time. I can't help it. Then I'll show you something called power."

This time, large cracks are created in space from which giant organisms emerge one after the other. Some creatures spit fire, and the creatures set fire to a building on Habri's property.

But for some reason something screaming doesn't happen. For some reason, I think while the pain is about to make me lose consciousness. Then Neos dropped something on the ground.

It looked like a bunch of incense.

"Ah... Pleasant Sleep Incense ..."

The magic item also knew Trante. Pleasant Sleep Incense doesn't look the same as a linear incense, but it has the effect of lighting the fire and sniffing the smoke to encourage the feeling to relax and sleep well.

"It's a little different. That's the Sleepy Incense I made. It's just too effective, so it's not easy to use."

He says that once you inhale the smoke, you sleep for about three hours, no matter what you do.

"I installed this in the Mansion in advance to ignite it in a time-bound fashion. They won't wake up for hours, even in the event of an earthquake."

What a horrible magic item to make, Trunte feared. If there is such a thing, you can trespass and assassinate as much as you want.

"There is also the disadvantage that it does not work for people with strong magic. That's why I can't use it very much."

Still, it is an invention that can get a lot of money when it comes out. The person doesn't seem convinced, but Habri will definitely eat it.

While doing so, the Mansion is still wrapped in flames.

"Look, the guy you hate loses everything without knowing anything. No matter what you grieve, no matter what you suffer, you just disappear. Isn't that the best revenge?

Trunte was thrilled to see Neos' empty eyes loosening her cheeks as she looked at the burning mansion.

(Dammit... run away from here... but my consciousness...)

Gradually, the sense of trante is lost. Your heart is filled with hate, and you feel reassured.

Despite desperate resistance, Trunte sank into the darkness without defying his instincts.

All the stories I heard from Trente were unexpected. Saudi and Yoyo didn't say anything about burning down Habri's mansion, but they thought it was Trente himself.

But it was like Neos who actually did it. Trante was only able to make good use of his feelings at the time.

"... good."

Huh?

Trunte opened her eyes and raised her face as she murmured.

"Because Mr. Trunte defended Lord Narios' will."

"... no, it's true that I tried to kill Habri, and it bothered Yoyo and the others."

"But I haven't lost anyone."

……

"You've been resisting all along. That's why you've been able to keep your hands clean until now. It's above all your own strength."

"I see. Sir Narios always said that. I want you to live a life that is not ashamed of heaven. Lord Narios has been like my father since he was a child. That word has always been in my mind."

"Sauji... Yoyo... I'm really sorry."

The eyes of Trente are overflowing with tears. There will be many thoughts there. The sorrow of losing his grandfather, the joy of not killing anyone, and the relief of forgiveness drove him back to his former gentle youth.

Soji and Yoyo looked at each other, and smiled at each other with relief that he might be able to recover.
