V1C2 Part2

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

The place i selected as the next setting is the Oberth Castle, the fortress in the north.

General Ernst Brown’s family is chosen as the protagonists.

There are still a lot of actors waiting for their moment in the capital, but this time I chose another place far away.

Surely they too will be thrilled to see a dead person suddenly appear.

I don’t want to just kill.

When people die, it all ends.

The important thing is to instill fear and pain in the mind and body.

So let’s get to work!

[My dear protagonists, I hope you can entertain me!]

Those gathered in the garden of Oberth’s castle tensed their bodies.

The characters are the general’s two children. Then the servants of Oberth’s castle.

By the way, it seems that the beautiful wife is not here.

According to his two sons “She went with our father to the royal capital.”

Heavens. Do you think I don’t know why that female rat is carefully moving around?

But I laughed, and I put myself in the current environment.

There is still time until the appearance of the general.

So let’s play for a while.

[Dammit! My father will have no mercy for this! Nameless coward!]

[That’s right! We are the children of General Brown! So untie these ropes!]

Tied with a rope and lying on the ground, the two brats screamed.

Hahaha. What a natural reaction. Despite being suddenly beaten and captured, their spirits are strong.

These kids doesn’t know the face of the hero Raul, so it seems that they have been attacked by an unknown man.

[If the two of you are very excited, do you want to dig along with them?]

[Kuh….]

I pointed with my chin to the servants digging holes all being muddy.

I made them dig holes in the garden, I think about two hours have passed.

Today the sky is blue, very soon the sun will reach the top.

The wind is refreshing and comfortable.

It is the best climate to be in the shade and relax.

But it would be the worst weather to keep digging in the sun.

Everyone is sweating and reeling.

[Hey hey. Who said to stop? Come on, keep digging!]

[Hii!]

Just by clapping a little, the servants freaked out.

Maybe it’s because I cut off the legs of the guy who tried to escape first.

If you obediently follow my instructions, I will not kill you. Not yet.

[I-I found it! She also came out of the hole… ..]

[Oh. Perfect. Everything is going well]

Hearing the servant’s voice, the children had an angry face.

To confirm, I went to the servant who raised his voice.

When I looked into the big hole dug, something white was sticking out of the ground.

[Dig a little more]

[Y-Yes!]

Giving instructions to the servant and digging a little more—

Ahh, it’s coming out.

White bones, no matter how it looked, were human bones. They started showing one after another.

I shook and waved a colorful flag that I pulled out using magic, and praised the servant’s effort.

[Well. The bone digging game, point for Enrico, takes the lead. The others should also strive]

[With this already… ..gafuu….?]

I kicked the head of the gardener who said nonsense, and crushed him.

[Agaa… .uhh]

[Of course not. It is still not enough at all. You know that, right ?, all the people who died in this castle]

This is a murder castle.

Because this is a place where the general’s family has committed murders for various reasons.

Of course, the servants who are digging are accomplice.

I also investigated that they were not being threatened by the general.

They took the initiative to clean up after the murders, and then they were rewarded.

[Please forgive us!]

[We only did it because the master ordered it!]

[Bastards! Are you planning to betray our father?]

[We will not forgive you!]

Changing their expressions, the children screamed.

[They are very noisy. If they make a lot of fuss, I’m going to have to kill one]

Staring at the brats, they trembled and calmed down.

That’s better.

I looked at the servants again.

…… Hey, hey, what about those bleak eyes?

[I know very well that you enjoyed the murders very much]

There is no use acting like victims now.

Using my dark magic, I can see the memories of corpses to a certain extent.

That way, I could see the evils of all of these.

[Yes … here I found another one!]

Now a maid raised her hand.

[Hm, very good]

When I answered and went to see

[Wow. New evidence has appeared]

What came out was not bones, it was a completely new corpse.

Since he was not very rotten despite being in the scorching sun, he must have been killed a few days ago.

The stomach is open, and all the internal organs were removed.

Meats such as those on the sides of the stomach and thighs were also removed.

Looking closely, he has no tongue either.

[A normal person, just seeing this is enough to lose appetite. As expected by the general’s family! I’m impressed! I also have to learn something from this ~]

[Act like that while you can! When our father returns you will die in the cruellest way of all!]

[You’re wrong, brother! Very soon he will disappear from this world!]

Suddenly, the brats went on the offensive.

Hm? Why were they so optimistic?

Ahh Maybe that’s why. A woman they have been seeing for a while.

That woman pointed a bow at me—-

And when she fired, I used my magic to reflect the arrow..

[!!!!!]

[Mother!?]

The woman screamed like a crushed frog, and quickly fell.

The arrow was firmly stuck in the woman’s belly.

Lying on the floor and with that open-legged appearance, she really looked like a frog.

[Guh… .. why… ..? why…..?]

[It’s a shame. Even though I gave you a chance, you didn’t take it]

As she turned around, the woman began to expel foam from her mouth mixed with blood.

Possibly she put poison on the tip of the arrow.

She was the deranged wife who praised the crimes of her husband and children.

Now it is just a female frog waiting for death.

[Ahguahh… ..agahhhughhh… ..uhhhh]

While drooling, she scratched her throat with her long nails.

Her thin neck quickly filled with blood.

Her state of suffering while convulsing reminded me of the Kobold with whom the children were playing.

Over time, it stopped moving.

[Uhh… .Uwaaaaaaa! Mother! Mother!]

[Don’t die, please don’t die, nooooo]

Although they are already fifteen years old, the children wept without shame.

[Hey, hey, what are you babies? But, don’t worry. Your mom is dead, but your dear dad will be back soon]

[Hey…..?]

[I think it’s about time you say, “Dad, I’m scared, come back soon.” I’m letting you put it to good use. Well, let’s enjoy the next game until then]

I smiled and walked over to the pale brats.

***

General Ernst Brown left the castle for noon.

When his subordinates were taking a break at the mountain pass, something strange happened.

[Uwaaa, what is that?]

A subordinate who was last, suddenly raised an annoyed voice.

[What’s wrong ?, you’re very noisy]

Ernst with his sword in hand, got up and addressed the yelling subordinate.

[General…..! There is something strange there!]

What the subordinate pointed out was deep in the forest.

In the light darkness, a light was floating.

Slowly, it began to take human form.

[……!]

The soldiers around gasp at once.

It was just a light, but it became more and more clear.

You could already clearly recognize him, both his face and his clothes.

(Is that… ..the messenger i killed yesterday… ..?)

[Hii… .hiiiiii!]

[It’s a ghost!]

The frightened soldiers shouted in a trembling voice.

(It can’t be…..)

Ernst remained as he was, sword in hand.

(It’s impossible. It must be just an illusion… ..!)

However, the illusion of the messenger spoke a few words directed at Ernst.

『Come back… .. right now』

[What have you said…..?]

『Together… ..your… ..children… ..the hero Raul…』
