Domino Old Empire.
Dozens of citizens had been gathered in that castle, which the new government had newly designated as the capital.
Faces that can't be flattered or said to be highly identifiable, that can't be said to be exhausted as far as satiety, even if they don't have trouble eating, were puzzled as to why they were collected.
Some of them were children and old men.
In other words, multiple families were gathered together as a whole and waited in one room.
Its face is full of confusion and fear.
Neither that nor this is anything more than the fear of this country's new 'emperor'.
"Hey, I'm sorry you had to get together"
Nico and Rikyo appeared with a disturbing grin.
The smile was not false. It was a genuine laugh.
That's why there's nothing hidden in those eyes that runs blood.
He's laughing because he just has to laugh anymore.
"As a matter of fact, there's no one else we've had gathered here, in some cases to kill them all."
Rikyo showed three contracts.
It was completely uncle written, and only the names of the people who were signed were different.
"Actually, I'm sending investigators everywhere to check the population of a certain region. Yes, you three."
Yes, multiple families, of one of the three investigators, were their families.
A man who sneaks the Holy Grail in his nose and just has a short knife in his hand.
Before him, no one could hide the sweat.
"I did, I ordered you guys. Count the number of people in the area and the size of the cultivated area. I checked it three times, and I changed people all three times. It would be easy to understand, wouldn't it?
It was something I knew, but the families were laughing at three people who would have caused problems.
resentment, was cursing.
No matter what anyone thinks, it's obvious that these three people worked wrongdoing and the evidence was suppressed by Rikyo.
I was only so sure of the ingredients.
"I sent it three times and it was the same on all three occasions. It's easy to understand."
"Yes..."
"Well, scrutinized..."
"I swear, there was no injustice"
"Heh?!
If people can kill with hatred.
Such words are as much in this world as they are.
But that's only the shit of the weak.
Kill difficult opponents. That's normal, and if you hate me, you just have to kill me.
"Well, I checked my tax revenues this year."
I'll show you another document.
It said the local tax revenues.
The portion used as the local budget and the tax revenues sent to the state.
It was something detailing them.
"I'm surprised... there was material left, tax revenues weren't the same as before that war I lost. Funny, even if the land isn't hedged, there must be fewer people working."
It's strange, he seemed to have his neck clenched.
I didn't seem to wonder at all.
"If we let a small number of people report, we can deceive tax revenues. On the other hand, if you squeeze tax revenues from many residents, you can put more tax into your nostalgia. But I guess I didn't want to cut taxes on getting into the country..."
Without hesitation at all, Rikyo had cut short knives on those three.
On the three faces, a red line runs.
"You guys, what were you looking into?
With anger and hatred, my eyes were stained.
That short knife, the vengeful demon knife Dinesleif, slowly sucks up the blood of the three.
Still, his own releasing pressure won't allow them to resist
"Also, sorry! There was a hand drop!
"Forgive me! We are never corrupt or anything!
"I didn't take the bribe, it's a cleverly hidden result!
"Hmm? You don't think I'm gonna put all of you together and smash you to death for no reason?
He snaps his fingers.
Then an armed soldier brought one fat naked middle-aged man tied with rope.
In its body, there were traces of assault, even if it was not torture.
"You guys know that, right? Who this man is."
Yes, he's been assaulted and changed, but he was a man I knew.
He was the lord who ruled the province the three of them examined.
He was a new local lord, changed by the civil war.
"This guy taught me. I gave you guys a sleeve. Yeah, you got a problem with people saying you're under your sleeve, don't you? Oh, you want me to tell you so you know?
The families, who had not yet been drained of blood, had also drawn blood from that expression.
"You guys, with liquor, women and money, you reported to me without digging into these numbers in depth, right?
I grabbed the middle-aged man's head and hit the floor.
"Sure, there were more bribes this guy would give you than I would pay you guys. I think that's bad."
Over and over again, he hits the floor with a middle-aged man who won't resist.
"But come on, I told you beforehand how much I'm gonna pay you guys properly, didn't I? Still, you signed that contract, didn't you?
Three contracts.
I mean, it was a contract as an investigator.
If I worked wrongfully, I would kill them all together, and that was the document I swore to.
In other words, it was a State-approved execution.
"I mean, I suppose that's what you thought made me entertain you that you could put your family together and kill me? I was prepared to do that, so I have to do it too."
Indeed, the three of them were doing as much as they could in luxury in the region.
Indeed, after finding out that the local lord's declaration was incorrect, he kept reporting it.
But I didn't think you'd be fooled.
"Oh, of course I'll hear what you guys have to say. But hey, let me tell you something first... it's not just me, even the other guys are cheating. I don't want to hear that."
I really didn't expect such a light injustice.
The idea was too sweet. I didn't think of the information gathered from the region, such as scrutinizing it so far in the center.
"You rogue investigators, this is the twentieth set. You know what I mean? This is the twentieth set of people I gather you investigators and their families to slaughter. I'm sick of this!
Try them, they just deceived the one job they were given.
Try being a local lord, I just entertained the three of them.
But he had to deal with dozens of people already and impose sanctions for the tenth time.
"Are you guys that much fun exploiting your own people? Are you having so much fun with more of my work? Is it that hard to count the number of people? You wanted to be so luxurious for a moment, even in exchange for your life?
Step on the middle-aged man's head, kick him in the ass with all your might.
"You didn't think I hadn't properly examined the nasal paper you guys wrote?!
I go out of my way to flip a middle-aged man and step on that face.
The man's teeth break and stab him in the back of his shoes.
"You thought I was running out of work?!
It's anger, it's hate, it's a curse.
It was too easy to understand, burning too much natural anger.
"Die."
A demon knife slowly sucks blood to show fear.
Dance through the universe and collect its blood.
"Die, die, die!
He puts his knees in the back of the three people who are sucked of blood and blued, and puts more knees in their broken heads.
"Why, why, why! Always disobeying my instructions and orders! Huh?! Because I am an evil dictator and obeying my orders is against your conscience, morality, faith and justice?! Where do you blame your consciences for counting and reporting numbers? Why offend morality, discredit faith, and corrupt justice! Say it!"
Can sanctions from the supreme power of the state be described as private sentencing in their fulfilment?
"I can't always count and report the number of people! If you can't, don't aspire from the beginning! Don't volunteer for public service on people's lives!
With a demon knife pattern, add a beating.
To inflict pain, God created tools are used as murder weapons.
"Look at this guy's meat! Exploit even more from the inhabitants for what I fed you guys and look at these fat pigs too! Look how you exploit from your own people, how you deceive your tax revenues into the center, pigs who only think about increasing their own stiffness! I know you're telling me to look! I thought the people of my country were thin because of this pig! I thought the people of my country were starving! All I know is I'm willing to kill! What you guys did was murder aid! That's mass murder, too! Don't think you can make amends for one of your lives! Look at that!
There was a ghost of vengeance, who once resented him, would kill the clan royalist party together.
That is why there were ghosts who had even lost their state to execute the emperor and his clan, who controlled one country, in public.
"Before this demon knife sucks your blood! I'll scratch your family's throat with this demon knife!
It was something I knew.
It was a decision.
Under the law decided by this man, if a public official works wrongfully, he will be executed at the hands of the supreme power.
That was perfectly legal.
But no way, so far, I didn't actually think we'd even kill a little thing like ourselves.
"Oh, please don't..."
"To my family... to my family, hands..."
"Forgive me......"
"No."
I wrongfully exploited my people, helped their injustice, kill the families of the great sinners.
Cut off blood. Kill it and erase it from the world.
He was smiling madly.
"I do, I keep my promises. If I don't kill you, I'll break my promise to you, won't I?
Pay me the day I promised.
That's very important, and I try not to be late.
So sometimes it's just as important as that.
Punish the culprit.
I never pinch my feelings there.
Otherwise, those who live properly will not be rewarded.
That's why he also gave his hands to the families who are frightened by that demon knife...
"What are you doing"
With perseverance, a woman appeared protected by the Solemn Qing Squad.
Now in this country, the only woman with more power than him was waiting to be executed.
"A man named you... don't be too clean. Even a man like this is a local lord. If you kill this man, you'll be late for local rule again."
"... you think I'd let that pig live and give it back?
"Don't bother me, you have no right to defy me"
A woman who made herself the princess of the kingdom of Arkana and became the wife of Rikyo.
Stained Arcana. Sent in by the Arcana royal family who were able to follow Domino as a nation, she was a woman by the collar.
"... well, then I have no choice"
Abominably, Rikyo stops sucking blood with the demon knife and leaves the room.
The family was weak and helpful.
"I'll have you guys do the same job in the future. This country is too short of talent."
But Stend also looked tough again.
She also has a personality that doesn't hate injustice as much as Rikyo, so she can't help it.
But don't expect me to make it next time.
With cold eyes, she pronounces.
The next time you work wrongdoings, there will be no life.
"Do your job, do your job, and do your official duties. That's all I can say."
