197 Forget to Close the Door (1/2)

Violet-san and I returned to the capital of the Oriana Kingdom.

The capital was surrounded by the Royalists' army. I'd heard that they would launch a full-scale attack tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

”So quiet…”

I talked to myself, walking on the empty street.

Maybe because it's nightbreak, there were no pedestrians on the street.

However, there was no light coming from the houses by the roadside, which looked very unnatural. I couldn't even hear any voices from the houses.

” I can feel other people's presence though…”

Surprisingly, I found the scent of blood in the air whilst walking down the street.

”Well, the smell of blood is nothing unusual during the war.” I thought.

The snow on the street was dyed red by blood.

Torn clothes were scattered around, fingers from dismembered bodies lying on the ground.

I took out Violet-san from my pocket in panic.

”I thought I dropped you.”

Shudder shudder – Violet-san trembled.

”Well, it's common to see fingers on the ground during the war.”

Splash.

I saw several footprints in the blood on the ground.

I did a rough count of the footprints and there were more than a dozen.

I was a little worried, so I followed the tracks.

The footprints led me from the commoner district to a rich neighborhood.

At this time.

”Kyaaaaahh.”

I heard a scream coming from far away.

I made a dash there and saw a noble manor.

It was a three-storey mansion with a spacious garden, but there were bloody footprints scattered around.

I kicked down the luxurious double gate and entered the mansion.

”Oh, this is like a scene from a horror movie.”

The hall was filled with a sea of blood.

Bodies were piled up on the ground. Blood dyed the luxurious murals and decorations.

Unfortunately, everyone was dead.

There must have been a very fierce battle here.

I crossed the tides of blood and walked up to the second floor where the scream came from.

I walked through the corridor spattered with blood and gave the door at the end a roundhouse kick.

”Damn… fuck off!”

Two people were wrestling with each other.

A man in a tailcoat sat on a woman, trying to bite her.

The woman in a dress desperately resisted.

What was going on?

Isn't choking the woman a faster way to kill her?

I restrained my curiosity to ask this man why he wanted to bite the woman, and helped her in the way of a mob character.

”Ge, ge, get away from her~~”

Then I gave the man a mob kick.

”Hmm?”

What? The man didn't flinch at all.

Although it was just a kick with a power of a regular mob, I should have kicked at the right place.

The man looked at me with bloodshot eyes.

I kicked his face hard.
