Betrayed by My Best Friend and Dumped by My Fiancée, I’ve Decided to Enjoy Life as I Please ~ For Some Reason, a Bunch of Crazy Fanatics Keep Pledging Their Loyalty to Me~
“Rex sama…… are you acquainted with this person?”
Roger and Anastasia stand in front of me, looking protective and wary.
I am the stronger of the two, but their protective feelings help me regain some composure.
“…..Well, in a manner of speaking, yes.”
“Well, well, not that. You and I had each other’s backs, didn’t we?”
I believed it was the same for me.
We are true comrades who have faced death many times together, and we will continue to make the Sword of heaven even more exciting together
However,……, I was the only one who thought so.
These guys have so easily trampled on my thoughts.
“How can you say such a thing?”
“Hahaha. I was buying you, you know. You’re a good baggage handler, you’re a good scullery maid, and you’re fun to play with.”
“Thanks for that.”
I’ve never heard a less-than-pleasing compliment before.
I doubt very much that this can be taken as a compliment.
I really don’t understand how Carlitz can say such a thing so matter-of-factly.
“So? Why are you here?”
“Why? Of course I’m here.”
He smiles with his arms outstretched as if he were the leading actor in a play.
He then pulled out his sword and slashed at them as he approached in an instant.
“Don’t think such an attack will work.”
I had consciously prepared in advance to get rid of the sword right away, so I pulled Anastasia and Roger back and caught Carlitz’s sword.
The slash is sharp and fast, but if you know it’s coming, you’ll never get hit by it.
“Suddenly, it’s not very mature. It’s not something you’d expect the vanguard of the Sword of Heaven to do.”
“You’re very clever to catch it …… by accident, aren’t you?”
Ha? By chance?
What kind of eyes do you have to have to catch it so perfectly and make it look like a fluke?
In this one moment, I thought I saw a part of him that has not been appreciated in spite of his ability.
“You have very congratulatory eyes. Are you really an S-class?”
“Han! You are not to get carried away just because you happened to prevent it, you piece of trash! You’ve been playing us for fools by storming the lord’s mansion!”
I knew it. ……
I had already guessed it when Carlitz attacked me, but I had no idea that he had found out. ……
“How did you notice this escape route? You’re not the sharpest guy in the world to notice something like this.”
“Well, I don’t like it when you say that, but whatever. Gerard sent me.”
“I see what you mean. ……”
My question was answered.
Gerard, the Gerard-Claude that Carlitz is referring to, is a talented person who is in charge of the rear guard of the Sword of Heaven.
He has powerful and troublesome magic that even I can’t use, and he is a very valuable member of the Sword of Heaven.
If he’s here too, then it makes sense that he found out about this path.
“I don’t know why you two are here, but you’ve come at a troublesome time. If you hadn’t been here, we would have escaped.”
I could feel my hope that I could return to the city because I had not been exposed rattle and crumble.
Even if we kill Carlitz in front of us, as long as Gerard is around, he will surely find out that we attacked the lord’s mansion.
It really was an unnecessary thing to do.
“Unfortunately, I can’t give you that advice. I don’t care who or how many dies, but I have to catch you just in case there’s some sort of publicity involved.”
It’s really rotten.
The people believe in the Sword of heaven that saves people from demons and hunts demons, and support it in various ways, but he himself is in this state.
I don’t expect you to have a benevolent heart, but I do expect you to have at least a minimum sense of ethics.
I felt miserable and put my hand on the sword at my waist, wondering if I had ever considered such a man a friend.
And then…
“Rex sama? Is something wrong?!”
Iris, who seemed to have finished her business at the lord’s mansion, came over to me.
She was out of breath and sweating, so she seemed to be in a hurry to get here.
Maybe she noticed that there was a magic reaction that she didn’t know about during the enemy search magic.
“Who is it, Rex sama?”
“Hmm? Ah, this guy is my ex-colle—….”
I was about to say that much when I realized.
When Iris told me about the time when I was forced out of the Sword of heaven, all the light disappeared from her eyes, revealing fierce anger and murderous intent.
If I were to tell Iris that this person in front of me was my friend from the Sword of heaven era, it would be obvious what would happen.
“Hahaha! Rex! You seem to be well-liked by those girls!”
“They’re too good for me. They all have talent.”
I faced Carlitz while protecting Iris and the others from harm.
As I did so, I wondered in my mind how I should explain to Iris about Carlitz, but all my efforts ended in vain.
“Hahaha! This guy is a masterpiece! No matter how talented you are, if a useless guy like you is the leader, it shows what kind of an organization you are!”
His words were more than enough to ignite the fire in the hearts of Iris and the others.
The eyes of the three were filled with anger, and Iris and Anastasia were leaking magic power, and Roger even developed the red aura that I mentioned earlier.
(Hey ……, that bastard did it! I can’t forgive him for insulting me, but these guys are scary when they’re angry! How are you going to take responsibility for that?!)
“Rex sama, ……, do you mind if I delete this guy?”
“No one is looking at the site, so if I bury him, no one will know and it won’t matter?”
“That’s a good idea, Anna nee chan. Let’s just kill him and bury him.”
The content of the statement was completely like what a mob bandit would say.
There is no limit to the noise.
“The three of you need to calm down. He is stronger than all of you. You can’t beat a superior person if you get angry like that.”
“I’m sorry, …….”
“It’s okay. I’m glad you were angry with me for my sake.”
I put my hand on Iris’ head and comforted her.
I guess I’m a lucky person just to have someone so angry for me.
I’m glad that I can feel the trust that I never felt in Sword of
Heaven
“So? Have you finished playing the good friends game?”
“Unfortunately, we’re not playing nice. We are friends and we are going to do our ambitions.”
Just because I said “ambitions” doesn’t mean I agreed to declare war on the world.
I could not leave it at that.
“Haan! Ambition? Your journey ends when I defeat you!”
“All I have to do is defeat you. Gerard isn’t here anyway, is he?”
“I’m enough on my own without Gerard. It’s a hassle, so let’s just get this over with.”
I can’t leave him here.
The best way to do this is to show him the pain and overwhelm him so that he will never be able to get close to us again.
I don’t want to see his face again.
As I was thinking about this, Carlitz suddenly showed an ugly smile while holding up his sword.
“I’m looking forward to it. …… His Highness Richard will be delighted with this ……!”
“Ha?”
I didn’t know what the words meant and unintentionally returned them plainly.
But what did he mean that Richard would be pleased by this?
“I’ll tell you something special. Right now His Highness Richard is looking for a chore and a toy that he can break. ……”
“……, no way.”
“The crime of attacking a manor house is a serious one.
Normally it would have been a death penalty, but we’ll make you into a slave and keep you in our custody.
The three behind me are also getting on well together.
“I’ll get along well with the three behind you and use them as playthings! The two girls seem like they’re pretty good… don’t worry about! We’ll play with each other as equals without any racial discrimination.”
At that moment, I heard something snap inside me that shouldn’t have snapped…
