c15 (1/2)

Bodies that had gone cold, the final end of man.

Ludmila breathed a sigh while looking like a lost sheep at the mountain of piled up corpses.

What was it that she felt right then, was it fear, admiration, or something else entirely.

Even Ludmila herself didn’t know.

“Alright! Job’s done, now we go get some drinks!”

The final person, a fat man that seemed to be the ringleader of the syndicate, was tossed atop the mountain of over a hundred corpses.

Then Casca raised her voice as she wiped the blood off her fists.

“So s.h.i.+zu —, lend me money —!”

“Stop sponging off of my beloved! Do something about your alcohol money by yourself!”

“The three year old that can’t drink booze should just shut up! Also, I’ll pay back properly you know? Look, there’s an inn right next to my favorite watering hole … see?”

Casca smiled, full of implications, she then licked the tips of her fingers.

Right afterwards, Lady’s kick drove right into her gut.

“How many times do I have to tell you to not make pa.s.ses at people’s husband!? I’ll bite you to death!!”

“cough … Don’t you have any common sense, using your hand before your mouth!!”

Casca and Lady began to grapple and scuffle.

Seeing the two quarelling while bathed in blood, Beth who was wiping her saber with a cloth snorted derisively.

“Hmph, worthless, really worthless. How does it feel being fought over by the mistress and the pet, s.h.i.+zuru-kun?”

“It’s ruining my reputation, so I wish you won’t use that term, Beth …”

“Ara, am I wrong? Come on, did I get anything wrong?”

“… no”

Looking back on himself, s.h.i.+zuru realized that from the outside, it wasn’t necessarily incorrect.

Seeing his smile cramp in self derision, Beth let out a mean smile, looking at him with eyes containing slight malice and seductiveness.

“Should I try being your mistress too? I’ll make it cheap”

“High school girl … um, ah, JK 1, right. Soliciting a JK is criminal, right … it’s an interesting proposal, but I’ll pa.s.s for now”

“— hmph, an inoffensive answer that raises one’s hope. I see, that’s how you seduce women isn’t it s.h.i.+zuru-kun. Worthles.”

“… based on the fact that I can’t really say I don’t have that intent, I’m seeing my own degeneracy 2 in a new light”

“Ara, what’s wrong with being degenerate? Casca is degenerate, Lady is degenerate. Eliza and I are also both degenerates. Ludmila’s probably the only upstanding person here”

s.h.i.+zuru sighed for the umpteenth time.

Beth happily raised the corner of her mouth.

But as she did, her brows suddenly scrunched as she palmed her forehead.

“tsk … hold on, what are you doing Eliza …! Don’t get in the way, I kill you! People are having a good chat — grrh”

Beth moaned in annoyance and then her pose dropped.

When she raised her face again, she had went back from Beth to Eliza.

“— mou! Who do you think you are to call senpai degenerates! And I don’t care what you are but I’m an upstanding girl!”

“— Oh shut up, stupid idiot Eliza. The girl who wonders whether it feels good or not to kill a person on the street every time they pa.s.s her by calls herself upstanding!?”

“— what’s wrong with that!? It’s just my character!”
