『Money, what decides the value of people is how much money they have, only that』

Once I understood as going on, I noticed that this was the thing my father toldone kind thing to h as is It was because ht the toys I wanted with money

I crushed ot the beautiful woman I desired with

There was nothing you couldn't get with et withdriven doith debt, and then chasing them for it after a while, they soon are crushed

Then, in their final cries, they ask you for more money

「P, please! Let s!」

Their deep-dug eyes in hollow, skinny cheeks, their body red and face an ugly color

They have less value than the standard blacksmith you see in every town

「Hah hah hah hah hah!! What, where is your 『But there are things you can't get with o, h like that! I already sold s!」

He fell to his knees, and threw his face and pride down the dirt with his head down

「Heh heh heh, hah hah hah hah hah!」

This guy yelling about love or whatever to ot hooked on alcohol and drugs and now look at him

I stepped on the top of the worthless ave him my decision

「Who the hell would lend money to trash like you?」

「Gyaa?」

「We'll sell you to a slave trader, then !」

I kicked the man's face, and then turned back and sat inuntil the last, but ot him out of the room

「Sell him to a slaver! I don't need hiner to pay off the wife and daughter's slavery

If you let so that can be done anymore

「Heh heh heh, it is all about 」

Even if there's not enoughmoney can't buy

Then, my father died, and I became head of this company

I stacked, and stacked, and stacked up the hest tower of money possible

In this world, whoever stacks the highest amount of money is the winner

That's what I was born for

That's why, hero, you are e ca o back, back, back, I always think, looking down on this world,me a fool

Not obsessed with this world nor with its wealth

It was a reality that all the power I collected would coless trash, not even fit to look at

Insensitivitely not noticing even ance different than even the strong, a will that lets you be separate from this world's money

My heart was made to throw up the bitterain and again,me feel humiliated

……………

…………

………

Then, the day that I had saved for and long awaited came

Finally the day of that scene arrived

『Nda…what is this?! WHAT THE hell IS HAPPENING?!?!?』

「Heh heh heh, hah hah hah hah hah hah!! Disgraceful, right? Hero! Thinking those pieces of trash important!? hah hah hah hah!!」

That pained screareat inood behavior」

「As if I could watch this without laughing, Fegner, look, he's a coic tool that an e

「Heh heh heh, I wonder how he feels? hero, you were attacked by those coed children Too bad for you」

It felt so good it was unbearable

Show ood! This is too much pleasure!」

Finally, those employees of e on the screen disappeared

「You're the one wrong here, hero Heh heh heh, hah hah hah hah hah hah!!」

It all went as planned

I didn't want for all those little pieces of filth to be killed, but that ih

No matter what, now the hero would rot away

It's true that he had great powers, different froth of just one man

Even more, that crazy hate the queen had for the hero meant that soon he would be dead

「Well, fro nice to drink, hah hah hah hah hah hah!!」

The laugh froood

That puffed up hero, ood I couldn't take it

Just like that, that whitish-ash covered memory replayed inside of me

I know This memory was no fake

No, e not to think so, when your heart becouous

Then, that guy that laughed crazily over and over and over and over, al at e here! So let's dance, dance, dance dancedancedance!

—and in the depths of your despair, you will go crazy and die」

…it was the figure of that very sah! bastard, what are you trying to pull?! What memory is this?」

「Shut up, fatty」

「Gwahh!?」

「You look disgusting, Grond」

After kicking him over, he rolled over in a clumsy way

His body was covered in sweat, and after tuh the woods like a crazy man he had mud and dirt all over hi to make him feel pain ever so slowly

His cheeks were sullen and his eyes were dug in just like he had some horrible disease

He looked quite like the faces of those children in their final h, you, you need to wipe that nasty smile off your face, you ass!」

「Don't you chirp at me, this is how you should look, you fool!」

「Shut upshut upshutup, Answer me you bastard! What was thatyou to cut it out with that smile of yours!」

He lifted his pained face at me, and with his eyes rolled back until he could see h the shrubs the same time he shouted at me, and then there was a silence al for e」

Then, the hero whispered his response

「…revenge?」

「Correct You don't need to knohy Just this, this place, with be a continuous rotting hell for you」

Yes, this place, dark, cold, bitter, hot, a place covered in blood

The wounds you caused here haven't been healed, the children's blood here still flows

「Hah hah hah, revenge?! You'remistake, that was all because of your cowardice! You were the one that said 『Use your profits for the children』so I just did what you told ht?!」

Grond shouted at uilt in his voice

I simply listened to what he said I siust to myself, and let him rattle on until my ear felt it was about to fall off

「It's because of your disdain for money that all this happened! Money is power, the power of money can overcome anyone, and since those orphans had no money anyway, that's why they ended up like that!」

「…」

「Money decides value for people, it's used for peace, right? Used to raise orphans, even? Who just throws their money away on orphans like I did, anyway? That's why they ended up like that, throwing uilty!」

「…」

「You're the bad one here, ONLY YOU! All the tih you have the n of it! I want to go back, want to go back, you say, as if the ! What the hell?! Money is blood! Money is life!」

Glare, the fallen Grond was speaking as he looked up at me

「…yeah, I know, just as you can't understand me, I can't understand the way you think…for all our lives」

That's why, to that screa Grond, I told him hoas

「It's just as you said, Grond All that dirty ather, it has no value to me However, just relax Grond If you don't, well, if you don't, that's bad」

Good, it see onto, that you obsess over, if you didn't do so the way you do, you'd have already lost hope completely

That's why your special show starts now

I' to make you fall into the abyss of despair

「Okay, this is your final stage, Grond!」

「Guwaaah! Let go of ed hi fires around

Grond was the target of revenge, and I, only the facilitator

Since he wasn't a seasoned warrior, he didn't have the power to resist ht in front of the hole

There Minnalis and Shuria aiting with their cold smiles

「Who the hell are you?」

「Us? Our master's accomplices?」

「Hey, you shouldn't pay that much attention to us anyway We'll play a role every once in a while though」

「Right, we've already prepared everything below After this, you can have all the fun that you want」

「What are you talking about? …I see, you bastards, you all set et it? A little too late to notice now!」

「…you, I'll have all you killed! You aaaaaaaaassholes! I'll make you just like those kids! Gah!」

「Hey, Grond, what did you say?」

His thoughts e, but a bit too late

Without thinking, I stoain

「Hey, what did you say you'd do to ain? Huh?」

「Guwaaaaahhh!!」

「Stop fooling around, Grond I' of ain So just relax, and…」

「Master, please cal to enjoy ourselves here」

「If you keep doing that he'll die It all have been a waste」

They grabbed my arm, and I ca I had stoh, cough」

I had kicked Grond over and over again, and Grond now spat blood froed his organs, I bet

I thought I could let o a little bit, but if I kept on like this he'd soon be dead

(…Geez, I really got to control myself)

I took a deep breath at my own stupidity and took out the 【Verdant Green Crystal Sword】and healed hihhh…」

「Hey, don't fall asleep! You think I'h, ahahh!」

He was about to pass out, so I threater in his face

「Okay, let's get started This hole is your grave」

I pulled off his shoes and picked hiuwaaahh!」

I used the 『Sky Walk』 to float hi fire and decorated by greenery

There were two levels to the holes depth

10 feet deep into the hole with fire and s five footholds, and then another 20 feet deep dug inside of that

The bottom of the deeper hole was filled ater and there was a thinly constructed coarse iron grid fixed in one of the footholds there

Grond fell on the middle foothold of the hole

When he fell there was no injury, as I had used the 『Sky Step』 to drop his quiver in excite to do?」

Because of the fire all around him, the place was filled with a vicious heat

「What, just a little gah!」

As I said that, I duht into the watery hole

「Agh!?」

Copper, Silver, Gold

It all shi+e and small currency fell like an avalanche into the water hole

「S…stop!!」

「Coet all you could, right?」

The sound of an to sink into the water

As the loud sound ceased, the reflection from the fires struck the currency on the surface of the water and made it shi+mmer

It was a scene that must have made Grond's heart jolt

However, the fun had only yet begun

「You, you bastard…no better than a wor to dance for me」

Finally, the first part of this scene was over

It must have been like a drea all this despair

That's why, from now, I had to teach him what true despairaround the hole

Then caed Shuria fro a carpet with them

In one place where the fire had stopped, we sat to watch the disheartened Grond

I took out a water bottle fro and picked up the 【Water Spirit's Droplet Blade】

I moved the stored water with the spirit blade, and made a water ball about two feet in dia, a large leather bag with a special burned mark on the side

「That, that's…」

「Hah hah hah! Even though you said you're only interested in ht?!」

Inside of the bag was a light blue colored drug

It was the Ras』used toin thewater ball

It sloshed around the ball, and mixed in as a part of it

The ball spun around in a beautiful blue color, as the flickering flaht illuminated it

「Hey Grond This raredient for this is?」

I took one coin of gold out

「The ingredient…? It's the 『Quick Growth Drug』or several, no way that…」

「Yes, you're right It quickly raises your status, and then…」

Fwip, I tossed the gold coin into theerosion agent that it grinds any metal to dust」

Whuzzzzh, a sound just like water quickly hitting a hot plate, a shi+reen flickers and bubbled as it cru this dense only half of it would turn all that currency in the water to dust!」

「What? You! bastard!」

「Yes, yes, but I can't have you just insult ed aht into the ht?!」

「Yes, that's your ive you a chance If you can drink up all this water, then I'll do nothing to your money If you drink all of this up, you won't be able to prevent becoht away You ht live for a year or so…」

「What the?!」

「On the other hand, if I do toss this then you can watch it happen from where you stand All the money you oill break and crumble before your very eyes It would be ironic to see all of it eroded into green bubbles and light, and then seeing you despair and the death of 『Businessman Grond』, I would let you live in that despair until you die」

「Agh, agghhhhh!」

「The ga is si, or suffer for a short tiame starts, do your best, okay?!」

「?!」

「Okay, are you going to drink all this up?」

I made a quick smile, and then moved the ball to Grond so he could 」

The water streamed quickly doards with a splish and splash

Grond unhesitatingly started to drink down the water Of course, he couldn't do it all at once, so the water spilled down his clothes and produced sarasp!」

「Oh, you're doing well! It must really hurt」

The quick erosion of the ghhhh!」

Grond arood job figuring things out」

「He's quite the thirsty pig, ood show to dine to Heh heh, it turns out this special tea is better than I thought!」

「It's really good, I'lad this show comes with a meal」

As they said that, the two ladies were enjoying the show and laughing happily

After trying to drink ah, pant, huff, you, bastards!」

Grond had only had a bit of the water to drink, maybe a coffee-cups worth

Froenerated was probably ood, that's the way to work! Okay, the tutorial is over」

I felt ain as I told him that
