Volume 2 Chapter 8 (1/2)

NOTE: Cruel description

[Elmer]

“…Oi! Wake up!”

In the darkness, I heard the voice of so repeatedly

“Oi! Oi!”

The voice gradually came close My consciousness abruptly cleared up when the voice shouted so loud as if it was near my ears

“This place is…?”

Absent about ht

“So you’re awake, brat You made me wait”

Gradually, thedown on a chair placed across a desk where he sat opposite of me

“What , what is this! Please untie me!”

I can’t move my feet or my arms in my current situation Even if I made any efforts, it stays the same and the ropes merely cut into my skin

Though I cannot understand the situation, I asked for help froed man in front of me However, the hed scornfully at me It’s impossible to tear off such thick ropes I, who understood that it was a futile effort, glared at the man

“If you say it honestly, then I’ll untie the ropes”

“Honestly… say what?”

Not understanding what he meant, I frowned

To begin with, where is this place? The roo door and there were no s There was only the narrow, dim space that makes me feel sick

“That you injured West Vern House’s second son, Matthias-sama You ran away after you did it, and then you cried out and ran around the hallway”

“You’re wrong! There’s so…”

A terriblesomehow happened, and I raised my voice to correct it I tried to stand up with my disabled feet

“Shut up!”

“…What?”

Thein my vision turned over

Soht red flowed into my view From it’s coppery smell and lukewarm sensation, I understood that it was blood that dripped from my head

I was hit by thatbecause I wasn’t able to move properly, I fell down froround

The blood didn’t stop, flowing to round

“I didn’t do anything, I was just looking for someone…”

“It’s not as easy as that!! Aa? Give up, you failed your job!!”

Thedown

“If you just say it honestly, it’ll be easier, y’know?”

“…You…re…wro…”

Those words of denial iroan

The ainst the floor several times

My light body was lifted by the ht hand

A striking sound thatmy ears resounded in the room

From the part of my body that was striked first, I reflexively twisted, but radually disappeared

When I was at loss for words at the pain, and id, the man finally stopped

This tiht close to his face

“Usually, most people would have lose consciousness already As one would expect from someone trained Who’s your client!?”

“That’s…why…you…misunder…stood…”

My ht wouldn’t htened out the

It’s true that Matthias-san is injured Because he protected me, I was the reason for that wound so that’s why it’s ht I hurt him deliberately

He called hi Because I hurt that kind of person, does this man think torture is appropriate?

I don’t know

“Aa if you received such training, is this really necessary? If you co Aa, if kids like you become assassins then there’s really no hope for this world Is this so we’ll let our guard down, hmm…?”

A , he lost interest and let o from his hand

My body that was deprived of support hit against the floor and sprang up twice

“Listen, o…oi”

“For now that we haven’t found out anything, you’re still safe For now, just aduilty”

Thebecame difficult

I can’t say anything properly When he stopped jolting my head, I wasn’t able to resist anymore

After he finished fixing in the s, the man sat his fat body on the chair It was the chair I was previously sitting on The chair ooden, so itsound

“You’re an assassin You received an order, that is to kill Matthias-sama But, you made a blunder You were found bloodstained by the soldiers patrolling in the Green Water Palace Isn’t that right?”

“Nnnn!!”

You’re wrong!! I shookA lot of blood spilled, is it because my head was hit ly htly

“damn! You brat!!”

The rab ahold ofit doards

It was as if my brain shook as it crashed down

…if this goes on, I’ll be killed

With my current condition, I can’t breath properly and I feel that er Still, a small body like mine cannot possibly overpower this man

I need to escape, in a place other than here

This man must surely have other companions in the room But if I don’t run away from here, I’ll surely be killed This man who can hit a person’s head on the floor without hesitating is scary

I desperately thought in my hazy consciousness What came into my vieas the sword placed at the man’s waist Everytime he moves, it sith a clatter

When I heard that noise, I remembered This is not Earth That’s why one can carry a sword, and there’s ic

On the floor, some of my silver hair scattered I have no doubt that they fell when the man pulled on my hair I didn’t just noticed when my hair fell off because I was in so much pain

Will ic work?

I observed the man who can’t seem to move very quickly But his hair isn’t snohite, either Even if that wasn’t considered, I have a feeling that ic won’t match up to him

In addition, those ar weakly, anytime

I have no energy to resist, but the ilant at all

If that’s the case then I can probably do it I’ll use et away from here,

and look for someone ill hear me out When Matthias-san testifies, I’m sure I’ll be saved

(Freezing abi…lity…)

I iainst the monsters Unsensible moans leaked out from me at the same time

The large amount of red liquid on the floor and evencollected at one point, and then it froze

However, that was it

(Why!?)

The sensation that sohout

What rong with ic?

Though I tried it again, this ti happened

“Souided you to sneak in the royal palace Isn’t that so?”

Suddenly,cracked underon ice, but the

Then I finally realized the reason why I can’t use ic

This may seem like a bad dream but it’s actually the reality

I was attacked by disgusting monsters, I rode on Kioran with an unknown soldier to returned to my room With the exception of practice, this is the first tiic

This sensation is siic poas used up

I can’t do anything any I can use had disappeared

Someone help me… I cried out in my mind desperately

Who in the world will notice that I a this kind of violence?

I don’t have parents, neither do I have friends

When I realized that there were no one present here will save radually flowed out my eyes

“How pitiful! You committed a blunder, and now you’ve been abandoned No one will come save you”

That h his face showed no sy me

My feet sagged weakly on the ground’s surface, and the path I headed to left a long line of red blood
