“Hot…”

It was a sight that was truly hard to hold back laughter.

The honor that he had emphasized so much was thrown to the ground, and he still cried out for honor with his mouth while wearing the slave’s necklace.

Where had the knight’s armor gone, and a single beggar-like woman was left standing before me.

I had someone to hold my hand when I was in the abyss, but I guess you didn’t?

“Can’t you hear me? I told you to kill yourself, commoner? ”

“You entrusted your life to me?”

Noah was also like that, and he couldn’t stop the words from coming out because he was so dumbfounded that everyone was telling him to die as if it was natural. Maybe he didn’t intend to stop them.

“What nonsense are you talking about? I told you to kill yourself right now? If you die for my honor, isn’t that too much of a death for a traitor like you?”

“Why, if I really kill myself, you want me to take my body and tell me I killed that bitch and give me my status back?”

“Ha, you’re saying the obvious. Do you need an explanation on a topic you already know? I think you understand it exactly, but I don’t know why you haven’t put it into practice yet. Hurry up and die for me.”

How dare that girl say something like that? She killed my parents. She’s going to kill me anyway, so let’s just ask her.

“You said you were sending knights and wizards. Who was the one who did that dishonorable thing first?”

“What does that mean?”

Anna, that girl had this look on her face like she was really wasting her time talking nonsense. Like she didn’t know anything.

“My mother―!! My mother was cruelly killed by a monster because you neglected her!”

He screamed so loudly that the building almost fell apart in anger. Even then, Ena thought for a while about what he meant before finally giving an answer.

“Ah, you did something. A lowly commoner. Shouldn’t you be thankful for that?”

“…What?”

“Over there!”

“Intruder!! Stop it!”

It must have been a situation where soldiers were swarming in, so the sound was quiet enough to be buried in the noise, but that bitch’s words were so clear.

“If the manpower that was supposed to be used to protect useless commoners was instead drafted to guard the hunting competitions of nobles, then you should be grateful that they let you die for honor. Do you realize my favor now?”

It’s a good thing Abel isn’t here.

I swung my silver sword at the soldiers who were shouting at me inaudibly, “Traitors or something.”

“Get out of the way… Get out of the way!! I’m going to kill that motherfucker!!”

Thud, rustle, thud.

Did you swing it? Or did you actually stab it?

The black sword filled with anger was swung around without thinking or acting, only following instinct and making things even more chaotic.

The resentment between blood relatives was so deep that for a moment, my brain became blank and I gave up on defense, repeating only the attack.

“Kkaaah!!”

“Take it, oh my…”

“Let it pass… by, the wizards…”

I was so blinded by rage that I swung my sword like a madwoman. It was a berserk rampage that it was a wonder I didn’t die, and the fact that my blood wasn’t dripping down the floor was either because of El’s superior physical abilities, or because Abel held onto the last bit of my sanity.

“I’m gonna kill you… I’m gonna kill you!!! Ena――!!”

Leah’s sword never once contained murderous intent.

In Noah’s time, fighting was not his calling.

In the story of the warrior, it was a sword for protection.

Well, back in the Elf Forest, at least I wasn’t in a position to swing a sword.

And in perfect condition, Leah’s black sword filled with rage surpassed imagination.

“The sword won’t stop! Ugh!!”

“What the fuck is this!”

Pfft, crunch.

It was an absurd feat, even with just one silver sword, and even if it was a special silver sword.

The first soldier to run was swinging his sword in a valiant manner, but it didn’t even take a split second for the sword to be stuck in his neck. The second soldier, enraged by his friend’s death, charged forward, but died when his neck was broken by a kick.

The third time, he approached cautiously, keeping a close eye on the window. But it was no use.

Because the black spear of the enraged Leah broke and stuck itself through the gap in the armor, pulling it out and sticking itself in several times, completely tattering the part.

From the fourth time onwards, there was no need to even count.

A dream full of Leah’s rage repeated the killing.

Chaeng, Chaeng! The sound of swords clashing twice was heard. The owner was an old man with a rather grave expression. He might have been a general. But before Chae could open his mouth.

There was a flash of light. The space was split into pieces, just like a single silver sword, and all the people were cut into pieces. Except for one person, Ena, who was keeping a good distance away.

“Ma… Witch…”

Whose last words were those, the general? The soldier next to him? It was impossible to tell now, for by the third time they had all been evenly mixed on the ground.

It was a massacre for which there is no room for excuse.

Still, Leah’s gaze was directed towards Ena, who was leisurely fiddling with her sword behind her.

“I thought he was a swindler, but he was just a capable piece of trash. But that’s over now. I, Ena, the guardian of the Kstan Wall, will stop Ohalde’s army in a fair fight!”

Honestly, I couldn’t help but be amazed at this. Even though the army was being slaughtered right before my eyes, they had a confident expression on their face as if someone like me was nothing.

To add, that Oh-something-goo army was nothing more than a bunch of bandits led by a ten-man general. When defeating a nameless rascal, Ena always used that phrase to introduce herself before a duel, as if she had accomplished something great.

Also, the Kstan Wall? That’s ridiculous. That’s where the warrior party stopped the waves of monsters while they were in the north. And at least the other girls were of some help, while I was on the front lines, getting my flesh torn and my guts flowing out, and recovering, I charged forward to fight fair and square, only to get hit in the side by a large monster and was knocked out the whole fight.

It’s clearly my achievement, even if you look at it broadly, it’s the achievement of the warrior party excluding Ena, but you lie to the person involved and say it’s yours.

“You, the people who died earlier… Ha, no. A bitch like you wouldn’t know.”

Even though I killed them, I never imagined they would have such a shameless expression. Even now, my heart is pounding harder than when I was captured by the goddess because of the guilt.

“Dead people? What are you talking about? For the sake of the article, the right way to use the thugs is to exhaust the enemy’s stamina and then die. As expected, he doesn’t know honor because he’s an uneducated guy. Well, if he knew, he wouldn’t have dared to die first and bother me, instead of ruining the honor of this noble body for his own life. ”

“…Ha, who said you were the one who ruined your reputation? And you really think you can beat me?”

I think it’s time to stop listening to that crazy bitch. The more I listened to her, the more nausea I felt.

I gripped the silver sword tightly again.

“Of course, you were the one who brought it down. You will pay the price for making me a slave. Come on. I will put my honor as a knight on the line and subdue the evil witch!”

Oh, I really should have stopped listening. It was just nonsense. I’m going to have to clean my ears as soon as this is over.

You think you can beat me? You?

“Pressure down!”

Bam! Bam!!

Without even a lance in his hand, he charges forward with no hesitation. He does things to people that would only work on monsters. That’s how he learned it, and that’s how he’s been able to rise to the ranks of a knight in a warrior party by only dealing with monsters.

Leah threw the silver sword into the air to show the greatest contempt she could muster and swung her fist at the ship with all her might.

The result was nothing to be seen. With that one shot, Ena was completely finished. In the first place, the difference was too great. Whether it was strength, technique, or mindset… everything.

Anna’s stomach skin burst open, and her body crashed into the wall with a crashing sound, her internal organs spilling out onto the floor. It was quite a grotesque sight.

While Ena was practicing the basics while pursuing honor, Leah was training to death under abuse. The density of their time was completely different. And Ena also helped with the abuse.

“This… is… witchcraft… Don’t you… have any self-respect…! Fight fair and square! This isn’t… a duel…”

“You’re being a jerk.”

I stepped on her stomach, which was bursting and spitting out blood and gurgling. I didn’t feel any sympathy. Of course, I was still forcing my stupid beliefs on her.

“You lost because you were weak.”

“That can’t be… true! A commoner like you… is stronger than a knight of noble, aristocratic blood. That’s sorcery! You shouldn’t have won in the first place! Of course, you should have lost! It’s a duel between a commoner, a noble… a sinner, and a noble person…! ”

“You are also a slave.”

It was funny how she acted like she was the center of everything. She was a bitch whose world revolved around herself.

“Of course I will…! If I give you four years… I will be an honorable… knight again… Exception…”

In the end, offering myself up is the premise. I don’t see any guilt at all. It’s not surprising, since I didn’t expect it in the first place.

Pok. Pok. Pok.

He stabbed her in the neck three times with a silver knife.

Abel, who was becoming more and more dangerous by the minute, was more important than arguing with that bitch.

‘Come to think of it, if Belle had become a slave, she might be supplying magical power inside. Who knows, she might have already died from magical exhaustion. But still, if she’s really inside…’

Squeak…

The door opened with a creaking sound of hinges.

‘I must cut off that connection with my own hands.’

*

It was such a trivial thing to cut off the string that had only led to bad ties. No, maybe the situation was just that urgent.

The truth will never be known. Truths that are not that important are sometimes buried.

The girl left the body behind and went inside the door. There, she would cut off another bad relationship.
