Then I got enthusiastic about using a knife. [M]

First a small insect, then a small animal. When the feeling of a knife sticking into your hand, you feel your life... slowly... disappearing.

And when I got used to it. My head went like this.

"You were dumped in the woods.

Until now, I had no power, so I was on the side of being taken away. But from now on, it's the stealing side.

That's how they took me down the narrow streets.

Pond that is difficult to see from around. There comes a carriage.

"... the side that takes it away..."

Fly to the carriage at once, and the lord, the guards, and a few others die.

The man I flew over died watching a knife stuck in his chest with his eyes wet with tears.

I was freaked out.

The moment my knife took my life, I couldn't help but feel good. [M]

Then I took it away, took it away, took it away, took it away, took it away, took it away.

It was fun.

But....

After such a life lasted about a year, I fell again to the side that was taken. [M]

The result of stealing from all people. A crusader was dispatched, and we were snatched.

Those men in shiny armor with spears kill the men they've been living with for a year.

When I saw that sight, I... didn't think anything of it.

They are taken away because they are weak. Because it is the code of the world. They'll take it from us because they're weaker than me and stronger than me. That was all.

Only me and my wounded head are left.

In the corner of the burned base, I was holding the knife so that I could be covered in my head.

One of the soldiers who attacked us was beheaded in front of him and held his breath.

"... * giggle *... I'm not following you here.

After his head fluttered, he fell on his back on the spot.

"... why did you protect me...?

The head wound was caused by my cover. [M]

"Ah... I don't know. Somehow.

……

"Ever since I first met you. I didn't like those eyes. I can't see a thing because it looks like I'm looking at it all. I can't see a thing. I can't see a thing.

……

"If I were a real guy, I would have taught you something... but I could only teach you how to use a knife... I'm sorry..."

Slowly the voice swept down.

I've seen it many times, it's death.

Your breathing slowly slows down and eventually stops.

"... sad...? Nothing has changed.

I don't feel anything when I look at the body of my head. There is nothing unusual about it. Whatever...

I couldn't get away with it, and when I stood there, an armored soldier found me.

I wasn't killed because I was a child, and I was taken to a nearby city.

He was taken to a dark, wet, stone room, where he was pushed into a prison.

The end of the weak is always the same. The strong will continue to exploit you or die. Either way.

I have nothing to lose. [M] So there's only one way out.

That's what I thought... but it wasn't.

I still had what was taken from me.

Of those who captured me, the greatest man chained me and took me from the dungeon to the Mansion.

Connected to the basement of the Mansion, he was initially beaten and kicked.

Each time the chains were chained, the noise never went away.

The man brought a knife when he saw me being beaten and kicked and not even moaning.

You know what this is?

As soon as I saw the dull knife in front of me, I knew.

Because it was the knife I had been using for a long time.

"... this is the knife that took my wife and daughter.

That said, I embedded a blade in my shoulder. [M]

"Gwaaaaa!"

I shouted in agony.

"Fuhihihihihi!

The man's laughter echoes.

From that day on, I was cut every day, every day, somewhere in my body.

Be careful not to die.

Meals and drinks were always served every day. Don't die.

When I refused to eat, my body was cut open and my exhausted mouth forced into my throat.

In this way, when the time that seems forever is cut, you get used to the pain that was supposed to be severe at first.

Whether stabbed, cut, or decapitated, I stopped roughing my voice.

And I can't even feel the pain anymore, and my body stopped growing from this point on.

Butch!

I remember hearing that sound in my hazy consciousness. [M]

When I noticed, my ear was slit and rolled in the man's hand. [M]

I yelled again. [M] Not to the pain... to the deprivation.

Butch!

Blood flowing from above your head enters your eyes and your vision is red.

And the man holding my tail looked very happy. [M] They took it away, so they took it back. It was very simple.

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

The man waves with a smile at the tip of his midway slit tail.

They took it from me... they took it from me...

In my consciousness, which is bleeding out and feeling fluffy and pleasant, I saw the smell that is turning back and the red light that is swaying.

Goww!

You can see the fluttering red light very close.

The sound of juice and the good smell of roasting meat.

Ah. Is that my meat burning...

When I thought I was convinced, there was light in front of me.

The faint light vanished and someone stood before me. [M] I don't even know the outline with my blurred vision.

"What... is that...?

………

The figure looked down on me. [M]

Strangely, since that person showed up, I've lost consciousness. [M]

I've only heard it from drunk heads once before.

It seems that there is a God in this world.

Anything, almighty or helpful in times of trouble. I didn't believe it then. I couldn't believe it. But...

"Is it God...?

……

Try to cast a question that you have never answered, toward a shadow that you don't care about.

"... I'll guide you.

It was like talking to me in the water from the outside. Speaking of which, my ears...

The shadow gently reaches out to my cheek. [M]

"Nh?!!!

Your heart jumps out of the warmth coming from your touched fingertips.

I've never felt anything before.....

And somehow I was confronted with doubts.

I've always wondered.

"I... why am I always taken?

Because it is weak.

"Why do I... always take it away?

Because it is weak.

"I... why don't I feel anything?

Because it is weak.

"Why am I... so weak?

Because I don't believe it.

"Believe it....? What...?

The other hand stretches out to the opposite cheek.

It feels hot and tingling just by touching my fingertips.

Believe me.

Even though the voice remained clingy, the contours didn't look clear... and the voice was thrown into me, rippling and spreading.

"Ahh... ahh..."

Tears flowing out without stopping.

As far as I can remember, I never shed tears until this time. [M]

Warm hands moving away gently.

He didn't answer what to believe.

But I didn't have to ask for answers.

Believe in this, I will get it. [M] The strength no one can prevent. And there's nothing to take away, nothing to be taken away from you, and you can lead.

And I can feel something again. I can feel the emotion given to him. As long as you believe it.

"Ahh... ahhh..."

Your whole body trembles and your heart trembles at an unspeakable feeling of happiness.

I wish I had this one. [M] As long as everything is devoted to Him, there is nothing else.

Nothing but this is worthy of trust, no matter who it is. Unless you're a doll who faithfully protects what I say. [M]

"Ahh... my absolute faith..."

Then he released me. [M]

And he handed me what I had. I didn't say anything. I just said it gently. I didn't know what to use the balls I received with both hands, but I found them very loving and noble.

And he went, but the ones in white remained. When I finished my treatment, one of them told me.

"Get enough power to match the jewel of vengeance.

Two song swords were placed in front of me. It looks like it can finally be held in my body. But that's what you want. Then I must have the power to believe and lead.....

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

"... shhh... this... uhh..."

Phew....

Etha's claws cut the Dead Knight's face and his collapsed head splashed over the cobblestone.

Potatoes and blood are falling on the cobble from Etha's claws.

………

…………

"You did it.

"... I did it..."

Etha, who tried to respond to my words, collapses from her knees.

"Whoa!

Immediately stop by to support Etha, who is about to fall. My body hurts so bad, but it's because of my mind... it's because of my mind!

Shit...

They fell off their knees and sat on the spot.

"Kuhaha... we're both worn out..."

"I see...."

Sit back to back with each other.

"Hey! Are you okay?!

Soldiers rushed in after the undead.

"No way. I can't move a step.

Me too.

"Sister! Sinya!

Lisa, who was running faster, jumped at me and Etha.

"Yes, yes, yes!

"Ah, yes, yes!

"Ah! I'm sorry! I need medical attention now!

"Lisa, don't panic.

Prithue laughs and talks to Lisa, who walks around in a warm spot.

"Hello, Prithue.

"Hey, that's not it! Even if it's to keep you away, it's too bad! It's hard to forgive Lisa!

I guess I can only scold Etha as much as Prithue and Lisa...

"I'm sorry..."

"Still... thank you.

Prithue lowers his head deeply toward me and Etha. He's a really smart guy.

"I just protected my city. Tell me if you want to thank me.

Etha keeps moving her jaw towards me.

"Dear Sinya, Thank you very much.

"I just did what I wanted to do. Do you mind...?

All of a sudden, your vision starts to shake and your body doesn't listen to you.

"Shinya-sama?! Dear Sinya!"

"Hey?! Are you okay?!

Your consciousness slowly goes to sleep.

Ah. That's because I bled a lot of blood all over my body with cuts...

When analyzed calmly, the vision completely blacks out.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

"...... uu......"

You feel pain running to your left shoulder and light across your eyelids.

"Have you noticed?!

………

The first thing I saw with my eyes open....

[Event Complete… Destroyed the enemy forces that attacked the Delsmark.

Reward... Unnamed Sword

Rewards are transferred directly to the inventory.

It was the event completion report window.

"Can you hear me...?

Lisa, who looks behind the window, peeks at us worriedly.

"Good morning, I can hear you.

"I'm glad..."

When I make a sound, I feel relieved.

"Where are we?

Get your body out of bed and clear the window.

I've never seen the interior before. I see some furniture, not flashy but expensive, including the bed I was sleeping in.

"It's Mr. Pritthue's separate house. I was surprised because I suddenly fell down, but it seems that I only fell down because of tiredness and anemia. Rest assured that the treatment is over and your life is not in danger.

I checked my body and found that the minor wounds on my body were healed and a white cloth was wrapped around my shoulder.

"Shoulders take a little longer to heal. Don't move too flashy.

"Well... thank goodness. Thank you."

"... I'm the one who saved you. At that time... when I looked into those eyes, I saw that day in my head... and I forgot about myself and cut it..."

Her eyebrows are in the eight-shaped shape and her ears also hang. He seems to be reflecting.

"Etha is also seriously injured and has been forced to join the fight... if she is my sister, my sister is also my sister.

"Ugh... I don't look good..."

It hangs down to the tail.

"Well, for both of us, it was a date, and there's nothing we can do about it.

"... no. That's true of me, but thank you so much for helping my sister.

Lisa lowered her head deeply.

"If Sister and Sinya hadn't stopped him, there would have been a lot of casualties, including me.

My sister always does nothing to protect me. If Cynthia hadn't been here, I'd still be standing up to her, even if she was dead.

"It's easy to imagine..."

I don't know because it's Etha...

"My sister will protect me, but there was no one to protect her... thank you.

"You don't have to say it again and again. Besides, what about Ether and Prithue?

"Sister went to support the adventurers who were fighting elsewhere, and Prithue went to the soldiers who were defending the city.

"Did Etha come for backup with that wound?

I think he looked like me or something...

"You're not fighting. It's a promise to me, no doubt.

"Really?

"Ever since I broke up with my sister, she has never broken her promise to me. It was only then that you broke your promise to me. Later and later.

"... I see. What did Prithue do?

"It's like inspiration. This time, it's just the soldiers that Prithue moved on his own. Even if you can't join the fight, you need to show your face...

I'm sure it's time for you to come back... "

The event completion window in front of me means the enemy must have been destroyed. I think it would be nice if I waited.

A few minutes later, as expected, Ether and Prithue returned.

"Ooh! Sinya, wake up! Kuhahahaha!

"Are you okay to wake up?!

They come back early and make noise. No, is Etha the only one making a scene?

"It's okay. How'd it go?

"Affordable! We're adventurers! Monster crusades are the best!

Etha smiles, but sees a shadow somewhere.

"... it was in the bellies of the villagers..."

"... it's embedded in other people... several people have been killed.

"... damn it!

I can't believe I put explosive magic in the belly of a corpse... and it's damaged...

"But once the information is over, it's fine. I managed to get it out so it wouldn't explode.

………

Would it have been better if the damage had been suppressed at all...? No, relax...

"There's almost no damage to the city. The villages of Lyakchi and Chopoka were moving quickly, so the damage was minimal.

"Well... I'm sorry I didn't help you until the end.

"What do you say! Without Shinya's help, the city would have been ravaged by now!

My nose is getting rough and Prithue is approaching.

"If you're sorry, it's me. I knew I couldn't do it then. I'm really sorry that Shinya got hurt because of me..."

Etha lowers her head with her ears and tail hanging down just like Lisa.

"... it's interesting that Etha is doing well.

"Ha!? I'm so sorry! Don't be ridiculous!

"I'm not being stupid. That's what I wanted to do. Besides, if Etha hadn't been here, she might have been hit the last time.

"... shit.

Is it illuminated, Etha turns to the side.

"... fufu. I've never seen such a face of my sister.

Lisa, what are you talking about?

"Both of you. It's too noisy.

"Don't get mad at me.

"Whose fault is it? Whose fault is it?

"Ahahah!

I laughed unexpectedly at the interaction between the three.

"... Dear Sinya.

Prithue looks at me with a serious face.

"What's wrong?

"Talk to me a little... no. I have a favor to ask you. Are you sure?

"... let's hear it.

Etha told me about this. The opponent was called the Holy Knight... "

"You used to be called the Death Knight.

"I see..."

Prithue's face darkens.

"Do you know anything?

"... I'll tell you what I know.

First of all, I think you know that the Holy Knights are the top ranking of the Holy Knights from Etha.

The Holy Knights rank with the Red Knight, the Silver Knight, the Golden Knight, and the Holy Knight from below. The higher echelons are said to be powerful and capable of destroying one city when they become the Holy Knights.

"Death Knight and I didn't seem so strong against each other..."

"No, that's not true. If you and I don't stop the Death Knight in Sinya, the soldiers will die, and the bodies will be undead and poured into the city.

People in the city are dying one after the other, and it's undead again. If the chain had been in place, the city would have certainly been destroyed.

……

Imagine it's a terrible story.

"It was said that there were eight Holy Knights in all, but so far, they hardly appeared. Because their very existence was fuzzy and close to urban legends.

"... there are still seven of them... when they showed up... you mean they moved a lot?

"Yes, the Knights of the Holy Order have been gradually expanding their forces until now, but I think they're going to do so all at once.

"Do you intend to capture forces that do not belong to the Demons or the Holy Knights?

"If all is captured by the Holy Knights, the balance with the Demons will also collapse, and the whole world will be dyed by the Holy Knights.

"Is that what you're after? Move the sacred knights that have survived so far, expand their forces at once, and swallow the demons as they are..."

"If the Death Knight and I came out, we should assume that we are prepared to some extent.

"If that happens, this city that took down the Death Knight is quite dangerous, isn't it?

"Yes, I'm sure they'll be hostile. The attackers have all been destroyed, but the Holy Knights must have heard about this.

"It's not good to be in the army, is it?

"If that happens, there's no way to resist it. But I don't think it will happen soon.

"On what grounds?

"I just got a letter from my father. The content was that people called the Holy Knights appeared around the world and were rampaging around.

"I'll take it for granted. I mean, it's hard to imagine the others taking the wheel on us?

"If we take the others, we can crush this city right away. Naturally, people everywhere are struggling with the Holy Knights...."

"Is that a dangerous situation?

"Yes."

"... that means we have to protect this city to protect Popol, and we have to win fights all over the world to protect it..."

"... yes.

"Dear Prithue! What are you thinking?!

Lisa broke into the conversation. If you listen to the flow so far, you can anticipate what happens afterwards.

"One of the Knights of the Holy Spirit can fight more than one another, but not as many as the world is wide. Sinya's help is important to us.

"Don't ask an adventurer!!

Etha speaks out against her will.

"I know... royalty... how powerless I am..."

The fist holding the dress is shaking with a pull.

"Either way, I was going to crush the Knights of the Holy Knights, and if you want me to be your backshield, I hope it will come true.

"Sinya?! Think more realistically! You know what you could do by yourself!

"... I guess.

Without saying it, I learned it in the city of Popol… No, I should say it was taught.

"If you know why!

"I don't think I can completely crush the Holy Knights alone. I'm not going to take the lead.

That's not what Prithue wants, is it?

"Yes, I simply want you to help us. Please.

Huh?

"Isn't that right?! What do you mean? Bye!

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Etha is worried about me a lot. Thank you... but...

"You're just actively involved in defeating the Holy Knights. It hasn't changed that much.

"... stupid... Sinya is stupid. Definitely."

Etha exhales as if she had given up.

"I'll be damned if you say so... stupid.

Instead, as an active participant, what exactly should I do?

"We need your help in the conflict with the Knights of the Holy Order around the world. It was quite frustrating..."

"As Etha said earlier, you know what my power was.

I went, but I couldn't do anything. I lost.

What do you think happened?

"Then there's no other choice. The responsibility lies with our royal family.

"I feel overrated... okay. If that's the end of it, I promise.

"Thank you!

Prithue lowers his head even deeper. He's a really smart guy.
