16.Viva La Vida 【復讐に遠慮は要らない】
馬車に載せていたロープを使ってグザファンを手早く縛り上げた一二三は、残った兵士に責任者を呼ぶように伝えると、グザファンをオリガとカーシャの前に転がした。
「オリガ、貴族の持ち物を盗んだ奴は、どういう罰を受けることになる?」
「......オーソングランデの法では、腕を切り落とすことになっていますが......」
「被害にあった貴族に始末される事の方が多いらしいね。それでも正当な対応として処理されるらしいけど」
オリガの言葉を引き継いだカーシャの言葉に、グザファンは顔を青ざめて、すがるような目を一二三に向けた。
「か、勘弁してください! 俺は上からの指示で......」
「ほう、ではその指示の内容と指示を出した奴を言え」
「そ、それは......」
グザファンは答えられなかった。ここで一二三に殺されなくても、上の名前を出した時点で今度は殺しに来る相手が変わるだけだと気づいた。
「言えないか。じゃあ......」
「待ってくれ! 言う! 言うから!」
正直に話すと後が無くなるが、話さなければ今死ぬ。ならば少しでもと考えるのは仕方がない事かもしれないが、涙で顔をクシャクシャにしながら命乞いをするグザファンの姿を見て、オリガもカーシャも何だか気が抜けてしまった。
「こんな情けないやつに騙されたとはね......・」
「本当に。殺す気すら失せるわね......」
そんな風に話していると、街の中から先ほどの兵士が走ってくるのが見えた。その後ろから、15人ほどの集団がやってくる。全員がグザファンと同じような鎧を着ているので、おそらくこの街の兵士たちだろう。
こちらへ走ってくるのを見ていた一二三だが、何かに気づいた瞬間、その集団に向かって走り出した。
「後ろだ!」
叫ぶ一二三の声を聞いて、兵士が振り返ると後ろをついて来ていた応援部隊がいつの間にか剣を抜いていた。
「え、なんで......」
つい立ち止まってしまった兵士は、後ろの同僚たちがグザファンではなく自分に向かってくるように見えて、思わずつぶやいた。
いや、気のせいではなく実際に自分に向かってくるのだと、一番近づいている兵隊長と目が合って確信した。兵隊長は剣を振り上げているが、明らかに狙いが自分だ。
「う、うわぁ!」
「避けろよ、バカ野郎!」
間一髪、斬られかけた兵士を突き飛ばした一二三は、振り下ろされた剣をかわしながら前蹴りで兵隊長を突き飛ばした。
たたらを踏んだ兵隊長だが、倒れるまではいかなかった。
「ぬぅ、抵抗するか! 賊めが!」
兵隊長が威嚇すると、一二三を取り囲むように兵たちが剣を構えて並んでいく。
数人はオリガとカーシャの方へ向かったようだ。
「賊はお前の所の奴だろうが。頭沸いてんのか」
すらりと刀を抜いた一二三は、吐き捨てるように言うと眉をひそめる。
「お前がこいつらの上司だな。躾ができてないのはわかっていたが、躾をする方もクズだったら仕方がないってことか? ん?」
一二三の挑発を聞いているのかいないのか、兵隊長は剣を構え直して部下たちに言う。
「この男は貴族を騙り我々の仲間に濡れ衣を着せて殺そうとした痴れ者だ! 今この場で断罪する!」
敢えて無視して大声で叫び、遠巻きに見ている一般人に聞こえるように語る。これは説明なのだと一二三は思った。“そういう事”にして、都合の悪い者を始末する。慣れているあたり初犯ではないようだ。
となると、一二三としては選択肢は一つだった。
「わかった。お前たちには話をしてる気にもならん。殺してやるからまとめて来い」
「舐めるなよ若造が! 死ね!」
再び上段から袈裟懸けに斬ってくる兵隊長だが、剣を振り下ろした時にはその左目に刀が刺さっていた。脳まで届いた刃が、あっさりと兵隊長の命を終わらせた。
「オリガ、カーシャ! 教えた通りに殺せばいい、思い切りやれ!」
一二三の声に二人が反応したかどうかは見ない。
女二人より一二三の方が危険だと判断したのか、兵隊長以外でも残り10人程が一二三を取り囲んでいる。
兵隊長が死んで兵達の間に動揺が走ったが、何としても一二三を始末しなければ自分たちが危ないことがわかっているのか、直ぐに立ち直って殺到してきた。
(カーシャたちに対集団戦の訓練はしてなかったな。今度教えてやりたいが、人数がいないとなぁ)
のんきな事を考えながらも、一二三の動きは素早い。
兵士たちの攻撃が繰り出される前に、適当な一人の背後に回り込みながら位置を入れ替える。
一二三が居た場所に押し込まれた男は、数本の剣に貫かれて苦悶の声を上げたが、そのまま死んだ。
その間にも一二三はさらに移動し、一人の頸を斬り払ってから素早く刀を収納する。変わりに取り出したのは鎖鎌だ。
二人まとめて鎖で首を絡め取ると、引き込んで腰に乗せて投げ落とした。
首が折れるくぐもった音がして、二人揃って絶命したが、それを確認することなく鎖をほどくと、近くに来ていた男の喉を鎌で掻き切った。
血しぶきを避けるように別の相手へと近づき、突き出された剣に鎖を絡めて奪い取ると、脇腹の鎧の隙間に鎌を叩き込み、思い切り腹を切り開いた。
どろどろと流れ出す自分の内臓を呆然と見ていた兵士は、いつの間にか死んでいた。
「これで半分か。手応えがなさすぎるぞ。もう少し頑張ってくれないと殺し甲斐がない」
つまらなそうに嘯いた一二三に、さらに一人が斬りかかって来るものの、足を払われて簡単に転ばされ、撫でるように振るわれた鎌で頚動脈を斬られ、死んだ。
残りの兵士たちを惨たらしく殺してから、一二三は死体に囲まれたままオリガたちに目を向けた。
それぞれ二人ずつ相手をしていたようだが、既に一人ずつは倒している。
オリガは手裏剣で小さな傷をつけながら近づけさせず、動きが鈍ったところで詠唱をしていた風の魔法で首を落とした。魔法の精度が上がり、切れ味も増したようだ。
逆に二刀で近接戦闘をしていたカーシャは、右手の剣で上段の攻撃をくり返し、相手が防戦一方になったところで不意に左手の剣を腿に突きたて、動きが止まったところに喉を切り裂いて殺した。
「よし、良くやった」
短く褒めると、一二三は辺りを見回したが、最初は見物していた街の人々も、巻き込まれるのを恐れてか、誰ひとりいなくなっていた。
一二三たちの他に生き残っているのは、未だに縄を打たれて転がされたままのグザファンと、兵士たちを呼んできた男だけだった。
戦闘が終わったことを確認し、よろよろと立ち上がった兵士に一二三が名を聞くと、タムズと名乗った。
「いったい、どうなっているんだ......」
呆然としているタムズの目の前には、人だった物があちこちに転がり、血の匂い漂う街の入口が広がっている。
「特等席で最初から見ていたくせにわからないか? グザファンは旅人の荷物を漁るアホで、お前の上司を含めたここに転がった同僚たちはグルだったってことさ」
認めたくないのかショックが大きすぎて何も考えられないのか、タムズは黙ったままだ。
どうでもいいので放っておく事にした一二三は、仲間が惨殺されて完全に怯え切ったグザファンの前に立った。
「お前、こんな真似してどうなるか......」
「どうなるんだ? 倍の人数が来るのか? もっと強い奴が出てくるのか? まさか、偉い奴が出てくるからとか言うんじゃないだろうな?」
グザファンが言い終わるのを待たず、まくし立てるように一二三は言う。
「お前らの様に、立場が上の奴が無条件で偉いと思ってる奴が多過ぎる。あの死体を見てみろ。お前の同僚と上司の区別がつくか? どの肉がお前の友達だ? どの内臓が上司のやつだ? 人間なんて斬ればみんな血肉をこぼして死ぬ。王も騎士もゴロツキも同じだ」
一二三の話を聞いていたのは、グザファンだけではない。オリガとカーシャも、真剣に耳を傾けていた。
「俺もお前も、基本は人は同じだぞ。違うのは見分けるための見た目と、何を考えるか、何をするかだ。お前らはよからぬ事を考え、俺に敵対した。それだけだ」
絶句しているグザファンを無視して、一二三はオリガたちに向き直った。
「これで、こいつらが組織的にやらかした事はわかった。まとめ役がさっきの奴かもっと上かは、聞きにいけばわかるだろう。あとは......」
一二三はグザファンを蹴り転がして、二人の奴隷の目の前に押しやった。
「俺がお前たちの立場なら、こいつを殺す。殺したところで何もならないし、黒幕でもなんでもないが、実行したのはこいつだ。だから殺す」
それが復讐の始まりだと思う、と一二三は言う。
そして、オリガとカーシャの目を順に見つめてから、自分がどうしたいかは自分で決めろと言った。
カーシャは迷っていた。
普段は乱暴な話し方をするし、見た目もおしとやかとは正反対で、主人である一二三に対しても、気楽に話しかけるような彼女だが、基本的には善人で人を傷つける事を平気でできるタイプではない。
相手が武器を持って襲いかかってくるとかなら、自分が殺されるよりも殺す方をもちろん選ぶし、そうじゃないと生き残れないから。
だからといって、敵だからと言って、抵抗できない相手を殺害することには抵抗がある。復讐という大義名分があったとして、それは人として正しいことだろうか?
カーシャが答えの出ない疑問を頭の中でこねくり回していると、隣に立つオリガは静かに言った。
「......殺します」
キッパリとオリガは言った。
「カーシャ、ここで引いたら、私たちはずっと後悔する気がする。辛い目にあった事をいつまでも過去の事にできずに。彼を殺し、彼にそれをさせた誰かを殺さなければ。だって、あの時私たちはご主人様にやってもらうのではなくて、自分たちの手で復讐を遂げると決めたでしょう?」
今回は、ご主人様にお膳立てしてもらっちゃったけど、とオリガは苦笑した。
そうだった、とカーシャは頭がクリアになったような気がした。
「アタシたちの敵はアタシたちで仕留めないとね」
剣を一本だけ抜いて、カーシャもオリガに微笑みを向けた。
「ご主人様、よろしければご主人様の“カタナ”をお借りできませんか?」
魔法ではなく、自分の手で殺したいというオリガの希望を叶えてやる事にした一二三は、鯉口を切ってからオリガに柄を向けた。
するりと引き出された刀身は、淡い輝きを湛えた美しい曲線を描き、命を奪う道具だという事を忘れさせるような雰囲気を湛えていた。
恭しく刀を受け取ったオリガは、カーシャと並び立ち、両手でたどたどしくもしっかりと柄を握り足元に転がったグザファンを見下ろした。
「や、やめてくれ......。悪かったと思ってるんだ。俺だって命令が無かったらこんな......」
「黙れ」
冷たい声をかけたのはオリガの方だった。カーシャは、緊張した様子で口を引き結んでいる。
「死は救いだと思いなさい。私たちが感じた絶望の生は、未来の苦痛への不安を味わう日々だった。どんな辱めを受けるか、どんな殺され方をされるかの不安を、考えたくなくても頭から離れない惨たらしい未来図に押しつぶされて生きるよりいいはずよ。死ねたなら、それで終わりなのだから」
言い終わるとオリガは隣りに立つ親友を見た。
カーシャは一度だけ頷いて、オリガと同時に剣を突き立てた。
「ぎぃっ......!」
あまりの痛みに、食いしばった声しか出せないグザファンは、即死はしなかった。
二人の剣はグザファンの大腿動脈を傷つけ、おびただしい血が流れ出すが、死ぬまでには少しの猶予が与えられた。
「アンタが死んでいく様を見ててやるよ。アタシたちの顔を見ながら、後悔しながら死ぬんだね」
「私たちはあの時の事をたくさん後悔しました。貴方に騙された事を。だから今度は、あなたがあの時の事をたくさん後悔しなさい」
二人は感情のない瞳でグザファンをじっと見ていた。
黙って見ていた一二三は、目を細めて見下ろす姿は、まるで慈悲深い聖母の様に美しいと、埒もないことを考えていた。
グザファンは、死にたくないとつぶやきながら死んでいった。
まずひとつ、オリガとカーシャの復讐が成った瞬間だった。
何も言わない二人の奴隷を連れて、一二三は食堂へ入った。
丁度食事の時間が迫っていたのもあったが、少し時間を置かないとオリガたちが動けないと思ったからだ。
怯えて入店を断られそうになったが、国の仕事で来たと、通行許可証と貴族を示すメダルを見せると、渋々店内へ入れてくれた。
「悪いな」
と言いながら、少なくない金額を店員に握らせてから、適当な料理を持ってくるように言った。
「いつまで呆けているつもりだ。そろそろ目を覚ませ」
「も、申し訳ありません」
「......少しは感傷に浸らせてくれてもいいと思うんだけど」
奴隷の立場を思いだして慌てて謝るオリガと、唇を突き出して不満を述べるカーシャに、女は強いなと一二三は思った。もう少し強くショックを受けるかと思ったが、問題ないようだ。
「下っ端もいいところの奴を一人倒したくらいで満足するなよ。これからまだまだ殺さないといけないんだからな」
「......殺すこと前提なんだね」
「変に地位が高くて悪知恵の働く奴ってのは、失敗して痛い目を見ても、運が悪かっただけだったと思ってまた同じことをやるもんだ」
だから、敵対して上から物を言ってくるような奴は、さっぱりと消してしまうのがいい。あとが楽だから、と一二三は言う。
そんな話をする三人の前に、次々と料理が並べられていく。
少し多めで変に豪華だが、一二三が貴族だと知った店主が頑張って用意したのだろう。
食欲がわかず、遠慮がちに食べるオリガたちと対照的に、柔らかなポークソテー風のステーキやシャキッとした新鮮なサラダをもしゃもしゃと味わいながら、一二三はごくごくシンプルに食後の予定を告げた。
「食べたらハーゲンティ子爵の屋敷に行くぞ。挨拶しに行かないとな」
まるで旅行の予定のように告げられたそれは、カーシャの耳には新たな殺戮の宣言にしか聞こえなかった。
Chapter 16: Viva La Vida
Hifumi quickly tied Guzafan up with a rope and had him loaded into the carriage. Then he asked the remaining soldiers to call the person in charge. Guzafan was thrown in front Origa and Kasha.
[Origa, this is the shithead that stole the noble's personal property, What kind of punishment will he receive?] 
[...... According to the laws of Orson Grande, an arm is expected to be cut off...... ] 
[ Although the harm done to us by the incident with the noble is much worse. His punishment must still be within legal limits.] 
As Kasha's words took over Origa's, Guzafan's face turned pale, he looked toward Hifumi for respite.
[ Ple, please forgive me! I was only ordered to...... ] 
[ Really, what were the instructions given and who gave them] 
[That, that is...... ] 
Guzafan couldn't answer. Even if he is not killed by Hifumi, if he gave out the official's name it will be only a matter of time before he is killed by the accomplice.
[You cannot say? Then...... ] 
[Please wait! I will say it! Im gonna say it! ] 
Speaking honestly might have delayed his disappearance, but not speaking would be certain death. In that case, since it couldn't be helped Guzafan begged for his life with a tear-streaked and disheveled face. Seeing this pathetic figure, Origa and Kasha were somewhat disgusted.
[ Being deceived by such a miserable person....... ] 
[ Really. Even the desire to kill has dissipated.... ] 
While saying that, the soldier from before ran out of town. Immediately behind him were a group of about 15 people. Since all of them wore armour similar to Guzafan's, they were probably soldiers of the town.
Seeing them run in their direction, Hifumi instantly noticed something and started running towards the group.
[ Behind! ] 
Hearing Hifumi's yell, the soldier turned around, and before he knew it, the backup force behind him had drawn their swords.
[ Eh, what..... ] 
Inadvertently halting, the soldier muttered upon seeing his colleagues face someone, not Guzafan, but him.
No, it wasn't his imagination. The eyes of the lead soldier were clearly on him. The lead soldier raised his sword, clearly aiming for him.
[ Uwaaa! ] 
[ Dodge it you fool! ] 
Hifumi pushed away the soldier that was about to be cut, by a hairs breadth. Lashing out at the lead soldier with a frontal kick, while dodging the swung blade.
However the lead soldier only stumbled a step back and didn't fall down.
[Nuu, stop your resistance! you thieves!] 
The lead soldier intimidates him and the soldiers surround Hifumi in a line with their swords drawn.magic
Several people appear to be heading towards Kasha and Origa.
[This piece of shit thief seems to be from your place. Is your head boiled?] 
Hifumi drew his slender katana, and with knit brows, as if spitting out his words:
[ So you're their boss. I knew you couldn't discipline them, but I guess it can't be helped if the one disciplining them is trash, right? Hm? ] 
Whether they heard Hifumi's provocation or not, the lead soldier steadies his sword again and says to his subordinates.
[This man is a noble who swindles, for him to frame and attempt to kill us is foolish! Arrest him on the spot!] 
Purposely ignoring it, he yelled out loud so that the surrounding commoners can hear what he's saying. Hifumi thought that this is an explanation. Using "That's how it is" to dispose of inconveniences. It seems this isn't his first offence and he's quite used to it.
When it comes to it, Hifumi had only one choice.
[Understood. It seems talking to you is a waste of time. Come, I'm gonna kill you all together ] 
[Don't underestimate me youngster! Die!] 
Once again the lead soldier raised his sword and slashed diagonally from the shoulder, but during the downward slash, a sword struck his left eye. The blade then swept through his brain, and the soldier's long life ended quickly.
[Origa, Kasha! Kill them as I have taught you, do it with all your might! ] 
Hifumi didn't see if both of the girls reacted to his voice.
Judging that Hifumi was more dangerous than the two women. Besides thelead soldier, the other 10 soldiers surrounded him.
Seeing that the lead soldier was dead, unrest ran through the soldiers, but comprehending that not getting rid of Hifumi would be dangerous, they immediately recovered and rushed at him.
Kasha and Origa have no practice in combat with multiple opponents. There are too many people to start teaching them now...
Although he was thinking that in an easygoing way, Hifumi's movements were quick.
Before the soldiers' attacks arrived, he quickly turned around and swapped places with a suitable person behind him.
Crammed into the place where Hifumi was before, many blades arced, voices were raised in anguish, and the man died.
Meanwhile moving further, a soldier's head was lopped off, and Hifumi stored his katana.
The chain bound two people together at the neck, pulled them back, and then threw them to the ground.
You could hear the muffled sound of a necks breaking. The two of them died together, the chain was untied without confirming their deaths, and the blade of the sickle cut into a nearby person's neck.
The blood spray was avoided to deal with another opponent, a sword was thrust but the chain wrapped around it and and pulled, snatching it away. The sickle was driven through the opening on the side of the armor, slicing the stomach open with all his might.
The soldier was stunned while staring at his own intestines messily flowing out, and died before he became fully aware of it.
[ Half of them left. No resistance at all. You all aren't even worth killing if you don't persevere a little bit more ] 
Hifumi bragged, stating that he was disappointed, all while slashing at another oncoming person. A swipe at the soldier's leg and the soldier would easily fall, then gently slash the carotid artery with the sickle.
The remaining soldiers were killed brutally. Hifumi, surrounded by dead bodies, turned his focus toward Origa and Kasha.
Those two each have an opponent, but had already defeated them.
Origa prevented them from approaching by hurting them with shurikens, and when their movements became dull, she chanted wind magic to cut their heads off. The accuracy of her magic is rising, and the sharpness seemed to have increased as well.
Conversely, Kasha was fighting with her 2 swords nearby, she repeatedly attacks the upper body with the right sword and when the opponent blocks her attack she will suddenly stab the opponent's thigh with her left sword causing the opponent to stop on his tracks, then she will deal the killing blow by slicing through the throat.
[ Great, you did well] 
Hifumi was looking around while praising them quickly. The townspeople who were there from the beginning were afraid of being caught up in the fighting, none of them dared to run.
Only Hifumi and the gang survived with Guzafan still tied down and the man who called the group of soldiers.
The battle was confirmed to be over, the soldier who was unsteadily trying to stand up asked Hifumi for his name and introduced himself as Tamuzu.
[What the hell happened here......] 
In front of the dumbfounded Tamuzu, objects that appear to be people were scattered all over the place and the smell of blood permeated the air from the town entrance.
[You still don't know even though you were watching from a special seat? Guzafan is a fool who rummages through travelers' luggages, the ones felled here are your colleges, including your boss. ] 
Whether he can't admit it or the shock was too big to think of anything Tamuzu could only remain silent.
Hifumi decided to leave it alone because it didn't matter. He stood in front of Guzafan who was terrified from seeing his accomplices completely annihilated.
[You, don't you what's going to happen because of your actions......] 
[What's going to happen? Are the numbers coming going to double?Is a stronger guy going to appear? Or are going to say some famous guy is going to appear?] 
Without waiting for Guzafan to answer, Hifumi kept rattled on.
[There's too many people like you on their high horses, thinking they are great. Look at those corpses. Can you tell who's your colleague, your boss? Which flesh is your friends'? Which internal organ is your boss'? If a human being is cut, their insides spill out and they die. Kings, knights, and thugs, it's all the same. ] 
The one listening to Hifumi's words is not only Guzafan. Origa and Kasha were also seriously listening.
[It's the same for you and me, the foundation for every human is the same. The only difference is their appearance, to distinguish them, what they think, and what they do. You guys only thought about doing bad things and were hostile to me. That was all. ] 
Ignoring Gazufan who was lost for words, Hifumi turned around to face Origa.
[This, understand that these guys are organized when committing the crime. Whether that asshole from before is the mastermind or just the lackey, we will know when we hear it. Therefore...... ] 
Hifumi kicked Guzafan towards the two slaves
[ If I were in your position, I would kill this guy. Nothing will happen even if you kill him, even the mastermind thought they are nothing, and would execute this guy. Therefore just kill him. ] 
This is revenge in the first place as Hifumi said.
And then, staring intently at Origa and Kasha one by one, he told them to make their own decisions.
Kasha was hesitant.
Her way of speaking was coarse and rough, completely opposite to her graceful appearance, and unlike her master Hifumi, she was a girl who could not stay calm after injuring good people.
If attacked by an opponent with weapons, one would naturally kill, since it is impossible to survive without doing so.
Even so, just for being an enemy, killing an enemy, especially one who is not resisting. Just for the sake of revenge, as a person, is it right to kill?
While Kasha was kneading around this question in her head, Origa calmly stood up.
[ ...... Kill him] 
Origa said clearly.
[ Kasha, pulling back now, I have a feeling that we will regret it. We had a hard time in the past. Kill him, if not, someone else will. After all, if master hadn't taken us at that time, how would we be able to take revenge with our own hands? ] 
Though this time, master arranged it, smiled Origa wryly.
That is so, Kasha's head cleared.
[ We will bring down our enemies. ] 
Pulling out a single sword, Kasha smiled at Origa.
[ Master, if it's alright, may I borrow master's "Katana"? ] 
No magic, realising that Origa wanted to kill with her own hands, Hifumi loosened his sword in the sheath, and pointed it towards Origa, hilt first.
Smoothly, the blade was drawn, light reflecting off its beautiful curve. The atmosphere changed. The fact that it was a tool to deprive life was forgotten.
Reverently receiving the sword, Origa stood awkwardly clasping the katana next to Kasha, looking down at Guzafan rolling underfoot.
[ P-Please sto-......I believed it was wrong. But after all, it was an order....] 
[ Shut up. ] 
Origa said in a cold voice. Kasha's mouth was drawn tensely.
[Think of death as salvation. The life of despair that we felt, savouring fear everyday for the agony that is to come. What kind of humiliation would we receive, the anxiousness of how we would die. It's better than living with our minds crushed by the gruesome picture of our future, even if we don't want to think about it. Because if it were possible to die, then that would be the end of it] 
Origa looked at the close friend next to her who finished speaking.
Kasha only nodded once and at the same time Origa thrust
[Gi~ii......!] 
Guzafan only grit his teeth without even releasing any sound from the pain, he didn't die immediately.
Their sword damaged Guzafan's femoral artery, an enormous amount of blood flowed out, a little reprieve was given before he died.
[I'll watch the way you die. Look at our faces while you die in regret ] 
[We regretted a lot during that time. To have been cheated by you. Therefore this time, you must regret a lot during that time.] 
The two of them watched Guzafan's corpse emotionlessly.
Hifumi was silently watching, over looking them fondly, it's like looking at a beautiful, benevolent, and profound holy mother but the comparison was silly.
Guzafan died while muttering that he didn't want to die.
For Origa and Kasha, it was their first taste of revenge.
Origa and Kasha didn't say anything while Hifumi lead them to the dining room.
The time to eat was just approaching, but they did not leave, as Origa and Kasha seemed as though they did not want to move.
They were afraid to enter, since they might be refused entry, but after proving that they were working for the kingdom, they were reluctantly let in. After showing the medal of nobility, of course.
[This is bad. ] 
While saying so, he gave the shop employee a huge amount of money and told them to bring suitable dishes.
[How long are you going to be engrossed. You should wake up anytime now] 
[I'm, I'm deeply sorry] 
[......To bask yourselves in a little sentimentality is ok, but...] 
Origa remembered that they were slaves and got flustered, while Kasha pouted her lips in dissatisfaction. Hifumi thought they were strong women. Having experienced quite a bit of shock, there seemed to be no problem.
[Don't be satisfied with defeating that one person who is at most a piece of shit underling. After this isn't there more people to kill and places to go?] 
[......To kill with reason huh] 
[ There should be a suspicious high ranking dipshit behind this, it was bad luck that you  had experienced a painful mistake but you had to do it again.  ] 
Therefore, erasing the hostile guy at the top should be done without regret. After that, you'll feel better, said Hifumi.
In front of these three, a succession of dishes were lined up one by one.
Though somewhat larger portions and strangely luxurious, it was because the shopkeeper knew Hifumi was a noble and worked harder at preparing the dishes.
In contrast to Origa and Kasha, who didn't have an appetite and were reservedly eating the tender pork sauted style steak and the fresh and crunchy salad, Hifumi simply gulped down his meal and announced his plans.
[ After eating, I will go to Viscount Hagenti's estate and say hello. ] 
Upon hearing the plan, only Kasha's ears did not detect the declaration of a new massacre.
