The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge

Erase the traitor and leave the leader unaware of his presence as well.

I served my purpose, but it's not refreshing at all and I don't feel like achieving it.

Only anger and annoyance go around in your chest.

(This guy, too, is the victim in the end. A victim whose life was messed up by Burtoghu. with me and my leaders)

Absolutely, only Burtoghu has to be killed with this hand.

The hatred for him is swelling up again.

(... you can't leave me here, can you?)

If I let it go, the bodies will be devoured by demons and animals.

When I tried to make him close his half-open eyes and pull him from under the tree to bury him somewhere.

Zah, zah, and I heard footsteps approaching this way.

I was surprised to think it was an enemy, but when I know who it is, it turns into a different surprise.

"Leader......"

"Wow, that's a big deal. I can't believe you beat my master."

"Look, did you?

This is from Azito, in a forest quite far away.

I can't imagine hearing a fight from there or noticing anything unusual.

I'm sure, Leader, I've been suspicious of Mr. Cain since the beginning.

"Oh, just the last one."

That's all, pompous mouth, crouching in front of Mr. Cain's body.

"What's your story with your wife and daughter...?

"Just around the corner, I was watching"

"... Sorry, Leader"

"It's up to me to apologize. I had to put on the cat, but I pushed it on you. I'm sorry, I let you carry the extra load."

"How long have you known about Mr. Cain?

"Just now, yeah. If your words were hooked yesterday and you were chasing Mr. Cain with your eyes, something was wrong and I was sure you were following me. Talk to Reid, too, and if he's lost, he'll beat me up and yell at me to just go put Keri on. When I was ready, I was already done."

Leader's voice, trembling.

I don't know what to say at a time like this.

"You're pathetic, really. This is the leader, it makes me laugh..."

"... because I'm back first"

"... sorry"

Probably a mess in the leader's head right now, I want to leave you alone.

Besides, I'm the one who killed Mr. Cain.

In many ways, I can't be here.

I dropped it when I was fighting, wearing a hollow hat, and walking out toward the king's capital.

My scratchy body hurts when I rub it into a tree or grass.

But the scream of the leader, which sounded faint, was much, much more heartbreaking.

My body and heart ached too much, and the bushes shook in a gutter, but I didn't realize it then.

○ ○ ○

"... I'm home"

"Welcome back, what's the matter with that injury!

When I got back to the armoury store, Stra surprised me.

That's right, it's a bloody mess.

"...... Huh!!

Beato comes running with great momentum and I can turn my worried eyes.

"It's okay, 'cause I didn't get hurt that big"

……

You know what, it feels like, pulling my arm around.

Hey, that's what it hurts.

"Come on, man, pull back!

Pachin '!

With a bunch of parchment paper rounded to the stra, I was struck in the head as much as I wanted.

No, I said I was hurt.

"If you're standing at the entrance with such bloody blood, you're obstructing sales! Customers are surprised, too, so get them healed!

... Indeed.

It's getting the attention of customers all over the store right now.

I don't think half of it is because of Stra's yelling, yeah.

But Stra's right.

"Sorry, back off."

"Beato, please treat me. In the meantime, I'll take a look at the store alone."

"...... Huh!!

Big nod, and you're so uptight, Beat.

I was pushed back and pulled with her into the back of the store, into the living space.

You can't just open the door to the basement in front of a customer.

"... eh"

Sitting in a living room chair, healing magic began to treat him.

Beat's heel, I think he's pretty good.

It's warm and pleasant, the wound blocks right away, and it won't leave any more wounds.

He heels every wound everywhere, and when the wound closes, he soaks up the blood with a wet towel.

Even though we need a lot of magic and guts this way.

"Hey, if you put a powerful one in the whole thing, it'll take a single magic, won't it? If you do it one by one, you'll be tired, and you'll use a lot of magic."

"... eh"

Sieve, I swept my neck to the side and wrote the letters on the paper.

"Once you connect, there's more to come."

"Nothing. He said he'd been hurt."

'I can't. Do more about me than about me. "

"Ha..."

Beato even pissed me off.

Do you think you will receive adult and polite treatment?

...... hmm?

You cared about me, Beato?

(... here we are)

My body's kind of pounding and I'm dying to sleep.

When Beato is stuck with me, it feels like it.

My head blurred, my eyelids fell on their own......

When I opened my eyes, it was already evening.

The treatment is over, and Beat is resting on me in my pretty chair.

"Were you asleep... Beat. Wake up."

When I stuck my cheeks together, I felt like I woke up.

He stared at my face and laughed at me.

"I'm tired, thanks to you, I'm all set. Thanks."

"... eh"

I just got a little thank-you, and I'm so happy to laugh.

Honestly, things are going crazy.

"... hey, don't you ask me what happened?

Beato thought about it for a moment and then ran a brush sarcastically.

I said, "I'd rather not." Was it wrong?

"... listen, I don't want it, I guess"

"Okay, I don't know."

Oh, no.

I'm sweet on this kid's kindness.

You can't do this, I swore I wouldn't make anything special.

As it is, this kid will be special someday.

"... Hey, Beat. Starting today, I'm going to sleep alone. All right?

"... Huh!?

Don't look so sad, anxious.

I didn't hate you, I just don't want to like you.

"Please. I didn't hate Beat. So please."

"………………"

I'm not convinced, with that look on my face, you hug me all the time.

... Give me a break.

You can't say it any harder.

"... sorry, forget about that one now"

Will, you're weak.

I can't believe it broke so easily.

I don't want you to come into my mind any more.

When I show my face to the store, I'm already in the middle of cleaning up after closing.

Stra has stumbled on us as he stumbled on the product.

I'm scared after all.

"If you did, you would have slowed down a lot... My brother hasn't come back, and how busy I have been alone in the meantime......!

Shit, I'm so angry.

And then there was the part that bothered me so much.

"Is that it? The leader hasn't come back yet?

It's too late to bury Mr. Cain and just come back.

No way, you're doing something unscrupulous...

"More than that, help first--"

Gallari.

The store door opened and the leader came back.

Good, looks like he was extra worried.

And Joana's with us.

"You guys, we're going underground. Description of the next operation."

The face of the returning leader was sharper and darker than usual.

All of us go down to the basement, to the conference room.

A leader widened the map of the continent to point to the west end of kingdom territory.

"The city of Fregenta. First Prince Taglio Tartarotto Deltirado is here. In this city on the front line, as commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force 15,000, with twelve wives."

The leader looks at me and speaks.

"Kirie, I need you to head out here with Joana. Would you ask me to do that?
