Part 1 : The Nature of the Allingham Merchant

Horrorbach was once the territory of the demon king, but is now an occupied territory of Kurtz’s empire.

Most of the captured demons were sent to the port city of Trout near the border with Kurtz.

To the west of Trout there is a concentration camp built to contain the demons, who are prisoners of war.

After the war, merchant Cameron Allingham personally purchased the concentration camp, turning it into a facility for managing the merchandise called “slaves.”

The captured demons are forced to do hard labor at the facility until they get a buyer.

Aristocrats and wealthy merchants come to the facility every day in search of demon slaves.

There were several reasons why they wanted demon slaves. For one thing, the price was cheap.

For example, if you buy a human slave of the same age and sex, you must pay almost ten times more than a demon slave.

Also, once they are purchased, and if they are sick, no returns can be made.

There is also a “trial period” for demon slaves.

Since demon slaves can be chosen between two options, rent or buy, there are many aristocrats who decide to rent.

And if for some reason they end up breaking them, insurance will apply.

Also, because they are not human, but inferior demons, they will not feel guilty even if they are treated badly.

They could break them like they were throwing away cheap, replaceable tools.

Due to such advantages, demon slaves are useful as disposable items, and they have been successful as an auxiliary business.

And again today, several carriages arrived at the facility with dim light and strange smell that were transporting the captured demons.

Only the carriage in front was luxurious, and the others following it were carriages in very bad shape. The demons were shackled on their hands and feet.

As the coachman pulled on the reins, the carriage, which did not slow down due to the weight, slowly came to a screeching halt.

The demons being worried, they looked around in fear. But, they did not try to escape.

On the way here, those who tried to escape were brutally murdered and it was shown over and over again as a warning of what would happen if the same were attempted.

The demons all gasped and stared, a man in a black cloak appeared from the front carriage.

[All right]

The man who came down with agile steps —– is the false hero whose existence has already been made known in the royal capital.

As he stretched, the Allingham merchant ran over to him.

Every time the false hero saw that way of running with excessive sway, it irritated him a lot.

Of course, he did not say such sentiments, and he waved his hand gently.

That man with a shaved beard, painted lips and you could tell that he used makeup even for his eyes.

He blinked continuously with eyes with long lashes, and he always wore a heavy perfume that made his head ache.

That expensive silk suit he was wearing gave off a dazzling, vulgar sheen. So is. When describing this man, there is no better word than “vulgar.”

[Welcome back, hero-chan. How was the harvest this time?]

[Yes. There are many girls]

[Wow! That sounds great! I’ll take care to educate them strictly later!]

[Heavens, I really can’t understand that nature of yours at all]

Allingham laughed suspiciously through a distorted mouth.

[It’s great to see an innocent child cry with a terrified face. Lick those tears, suck them, fufufufu ~]

[Just make sure to do it moderately. I don’t want the value of the product to be reduced]

[I know ~. I’ll just taste it a little ~. I won’t eat it all to the end ~]

Behind such conversation, the demons in the carriage are beaten with whips and thrown to the ground.

The poor demons all bet gathered their scared faces and closed their eyes to endure the difficult moments.

Unfortunately, their suffering has only just begun.

From now on, all their belongings will be confiscated, leaving them naked.

Those who tried to resist were beaten mercilessly with sledgehammers, and some were beaten to death.

Those who are killed are those who are sick, weak when transported, or of low commercial value.

By killing only a few, many demons can be made to quietly obey, making it quite effective.

It was business, but Allingham enjoyed the act itself. Also, the prey that Allingham likes is a bit special.

He was still searching while licking his lips. Right after that, his favorite development happened.

A girl who was peeing from fear. It was a girl with many freckles who sat shivering. Looking at her, the fake hero just thought “Ahh.”

In this Allingham controlled facility, he controlled their destiny.

Unfortunately, that girl’s fate has been exhausted.

In Allingham’s case, he always likes to kill children so he can show off.

Even if it looks better, it’s just the taste of another hell, so I might be happier to die here.

[She’s urinating, gross!]

A supervisor who noticed the appearance of the girl, went to her with an irritated face.

The man held a mallet covered in blood. The man grabbed the girl’s hair, lifted her, and swings his mallet.

Immediately after, the girl’s body fell to the ground with a thud.

[Huh!]

[It is not over yet!]

[Ahh… ..! D-Stop… ..! It hurt…..!]

As she screamed, the mallet hit her several times. However, he was holding back so that she would not die easily.

Killing to show off is more effective as it takes longer. So it is done slowly until it is killed.

Suddenly, a young man who escaped from the group of slaves jumped up, covering the beaten girl.

He looked a lot like the girl, as well as in hair color and face. It’s probably her brother.

A disgusting laugh leaked from Allingham’s mouth, who was watching everything.

[Fufu. This kind of development is more than welcome]

Allingham was even more excited when someone came out like this.

If he kills them, the sense of despair that spreads among the slaves will increase even more. His eyes glowed brightly.

Even the brother was still a child. Not caring about that, he taught them the ruthless power of an adult. It tore at their skin, the reddish flesh was visible.

In the end, the brother and sister died in full suffering. They were lying on the ground, they could only cry, but afterwards, nothing was heard.

From the frightened eyes of demons, hope is completely lost.

After all, killing children is the best way to break their spirits.

[Hmm. It’s a show as spectacular as ever]

Allingham went to the trouble to crouch down next to brother and sister, put his hand on those wrists that were only skin and bones, and confirmed that they were completely dead.

Then he wiped the blood from his fingers with a handkerchief, and looked back at the false hero.

The naked demons are cleaned in a room and then transferred to a room called the “testing room” in the facility where they are priced based on their age, gender, and appearance.

Allingham and the false hero also went to the testing room to participate.

[Will Wendell also participate in this?]

[Wendell-chan is here!]

In the stone corridor leading to the evaluation room, screams and anger could be heard both day and night. That was absolutely necessary.

[However, to think that they would catch the saint. They will surely give you a witch trial. I am surprised that such an innocent girl as her is a witch]

[Yes. Christiana. That king is very perceptive. No matter what evils you do behind the shadows, they will eventually catch you

[Truth be told, when I first heard the story, I thought you were caught out of revenge]

[Why do you think so]

The false hero laughed and told Allingham all knowledge about the true hero.

[I am an avenger. I have my own rule of returning everything they did in the same way. The game is more exciting if you create restrictions]

[Give back everything they did huh? So Wendell-chan is your target for revenge right?]

Apparently, Allingham seems to know what happened between “The hero and the great wizard Wendell.”

When the fake hero nodded while laughing weakly, he lightened his shoulders as if he was relieved.

[Wow. I’m paying him to be my escort, so I’ll be in trouble if he disappears. I can’t find a substitute for the strongest magician]

[Yes, he is strong. Even I would have problems]

[Will she not be caught by the king?]

[It must be nice. Christiana had a great influence on the public. There were many devout followers. So she couldn’t be set free, but Wendell is a plain and boring man who likes wealth and fame. It is more convenient for the king to let him dance in the palm of his hand than to eliminate it]

[Ahaha. That’s true ~]

Allingham laughed in a high-pitched voice.

[Hey, tell me something. When you were executed, Wendell-chan, the saint and Princess Victoria were there, right? Don’t you hate them?]

[Not really. It was because of the situation. They had no choice but to obey the princess. First of all, if I hated them, I couldn’t do business like now]

[I get it. I was surprised that you were interested in business]

[I want money too. Revenge costs money you know]

[I see!]

Allingham seems to be convinced after hearing it.

[But, to think that the hero and the great wizard who overcame the difficulties to save the kingdom and defeated the demon king, are now selling slaves. Haha, what a laugh]

[It’s because I knew about the stupidity of living in innocence]

The false hero suddenly looked at Allingham’s chest.

[What is that?]

[Eh? What?]

[That over there]

The fake hero pointed to the chest pocket of Allingham’s suit.

In that area, there is a red spot.

[Ahaha, this? You’ll see]

When Allingham’s cheeks turned red and he began to move back and forth a little, he pulled out what was inside.

[I took the little finger of the little girl from earlier. Isn’t it small and cute? She was very unpleasant, but this finger is very good. I’ll dip it later in a preservation solution and use it to decorate my room]

The fake hero’s movements stopped for a moment with a smile on his face.

When Allingham was in doubt about what was going on, shortly after, a few sighs came out of the false hero’s mouth.

[Hero-chan?]

[Damn, that’s being too depraved. It even gave me some chills]

It seems that Allingham took it as a compliment, he moved his waist as if dancing.

[I guess now we will do the usual]

[Yes of course]

[Well, I’ll go to the bathroom for a bit. You go ahead]

[It’s okay ~. Wendell-chan is here already, so don’t be late]

[I know]

After saying goodbye, he turned leftm

Although the false hero walked slowly and calmly, his pace gradually increased.

(Damn. Calm down… ..! You have to calm down!)

When he finally opened the bathroom door and walked in, his face was pale and his forehead was sweating.

He couldn’t take it anymore. He got down on his knees, and vomited into the toilet.

[Oeh! Oehhhhhh!]

An unpleasant, yellow substance dispersed. Physiological tears spilled out unintentionally.

[Uhh… ..kuh… ..oehhh… ..]

While vomiting many times, the false hero expelled everything in his stomach.

His face was covered in vomit and tears.

When he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, the false hero leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.

A sour smell drifted in the surroundings mixed with the smell of urine taped to the wall.

[Shit…..]

That Allingham who smiled at having picked up the girl’s finger. As soon as he remembered those ecstatic eyes and that infamous smile, he began to feel nauseous again.

Good news I manage to translate half of the first chapter of brave. FYI the entire first chapter covers more than half of the volume for some reason. D-Rank I manage to translate 5.

Anyway D-Rank would be updated every Friday while Brave every monday.

Time to proofread and be lazy again.

I’ll try double release every once in a while or something.
