Chapter 54 - Bait (2/2)

[Wait a minute.]

[Huh? What’s that!?]

[I’m sorry if I had intruded. But I beg of you, please help me get out of here.]

[Pfuwahh!? I’m thinking what in the world you’re about to say, but you’re just actually begging for your life!? You certainly are on of a kind, you f*cking brat! But you know, I can’t just swallow my words now that I had already spat out earlier—]

Pikki~

Pishi—

[W- wh… at the… heck…did you?]

[What…. happened…? I can’t… move…?]

Now that I had tried to confront these three, I understood.

The strength of that four-person group that I had met in the forest and these guys were quite different.

There are so many gaps that I could exploit from these guys.

They are so full of gaps that I don’t think that a surprise attack is even necessary.

[Why… are… you…?]

Monk looks confused as his eyes were wide open.

[What the… heck did we… do to you?]

[I wonder. Well, enough about that—]

I walked in front of the paralyzed Monk.

Approaching nearby his ear, I whispered.

[Who are you going to kill again?]

[Hiii–!]

Monk let out a short shriek.

It seems that his body is filled with fear.

[Wha— What… the heck… are you…? You sud… denly feel… like a dif… ferent person…]

[Kuku, being evil is good too…]

Even the sh*tty things that I spew out has gained some meaning.

Is it because I suddenly remembered them?

[The feeling I get from “exterminating” the likes of you—mysteriously, I feel quite good about it. Something like this is unexpectedly not bad at all.]

[Eh?]

That’s not all there is to it though.

Of course, I also want to help out Mist for a bit.

I’m also human.

Between these guys and Mist…

It’s needless to say which side I would help out.

It’s not about right or wrong.

When I’m asked which side I will be on…

It would be determined by listening to what my self-righteousness feels is right.

Only I have the right to decide which side Touka Mimori should stand with.

That’s why, I’m doing whatever I want.

[If I remember it right, you said before that it’s normal for people to die in the ruins. Right?]

Designating multiple targets.

[

]

The three of them are now afflicted with poison.

[Ugguueehhh… What’s.. happening!? What… the heck…]

[A- Anyone…]

[Help… me—]

Monk is glaring at me full of hatred.

[I would… remember this… Surely… I’ll make sure… you’ll regret this… later…]

[Kakaka, are you an idiot? How in the world are you going to do that—]

The smile on my face as I looked towards them became distorted into a sneer.

[–when I’m sure that you’re going to die in this place?]

You all tried to kill me earlier.

That’s why, I will kill you too.

[Guhh!? Guuhhhh….]

I suddenly noticed.

The presence of several monsters that are slowly drawing near.

[In the end…]

When I was about to leave, I left one final sentence.

[You were the one who tried to make me into a monster bait after all.]
