Chapter 26 (1/2)
“Looks like a war is going to start again… how unpleasant, how unpleasant”
“What’s so unpleasant ’bout it? I had hoped for that So like the empire ain’t allowed to exist”
“Right, right Thinking of how many of my family were killed by them They are murderers!”
“The imperial soldiers killed brave-sama Those imperial soldiers were killed by the evil dom”
“Ooh, haven’t you said soest are us without a doubt”
The cattle isuseless noise Even if a poet feels gracefulness in the voice of the wind, they won’t show any interest in the barking of this mob However, the phenomenon of either world is definite, or rather, this side has a deep flavour of truth… Thefroossip of the people fro by himself
Bertrand of the Green Cloth He is currently sitting at the rear side of the hustle and bustle in Chitoga City
“They are late, aren’t they? It would have been great if they attacked far earlier”
“Hey! You are going too far! Our houses and cities were tattered”
“That’s the frustrating aspect Although e didn’t raid even a single of their cities”
“Guess so Though I don’t think it can be helped The evil man was there after all”
“That’s itIf we didn’t take it out on the evil in with, ouldn’t be able to live peacefully”
This area, where dozens of stands are lining up next to each other, gradually draws people in the evening and is engulfed in the heat of people andpeople and the plates they eat from stand out here and there, but those are blotted out by the nightthe darkness and yet being unable to couous district which insists on its vitality
“Is the church our ally this time, too?”
“Well that’s only natural, I guess Why would they be our enemy? We defeated the evil man, didn’t we?”
“No, but you know… there isn’t a brave with us, this tih?”
“That is, you… isn’t that because braves don’t appear that easily?”
“Princess-sah, Princess-sama’s that is”
Everyone is tossing out words intended for anyone, huh? While being aware that they are a part of their own country, is that for the sake of their country or is it a country for their sake? Even while investigating the answer to that very interesting thought fros… Bertrand s his heart
It’s a nice atly nice mood
Rather than hesitation they are choosing vigour Society has a feverish desire to start running any time soon Bertrand knows that passion very well It’s an intoxicant disease that reduces one’s thoughts and outlook to what one desires for themselves
“Ah, da to start, I wonder?”
“Indeed, indeed I’ for it!”
“This time it definitely our turn to invade them!”
It’s a fever The illness of belligerence Predicting their victory and desiring violence, they drea in their own justice They are likely already savouring the feeling of omnipotence That’s the way it is Bertrand cannot bear it That overestimation of their ability will certainly result in war!
There was so no sounds Even though he notices it, he doesn’t react Bertrand wets his lips with a free drink Showing only their profile to Bertrand, someone peeked into the stand and ive an answer Si a nickel coin on the tabletop, he stood up
As ifsure to receive the illumination and heat of the bonfire in his back, Bertrand walks into the darkness of an alley The night’s wind is already tinged with coolness However, quickly advancing without hesitation into the turbulent air brought about by the wind, he stopped once a single building entered his view
It’s a wooden, two-storied building Light is swaying at the house’s frontage with its brown and rusted façade What are they selling in a place that hasn’t any proper pedestrian traffic? The old signboard is displaying the store’s name of so-and-so, but it’s difficult to discern between dirt and characters in this darkness It has an appearance siers
There is so fro their presence It’s not co at their waist is a blade for killing people But, that’s also the sa sword coe sword, but the naked blade, which appeared to be thin, long and slender, reflects a cold intent to ed
Giving a nod towards the shadow, the shadow silently opens the door A green gale blew inside
The man, as immersed in the account book, had round eyes and a round nose as well as mouth, but before he squeezed out the inhaled breath, his head is cut off with a splat A back is visible in the kitchen There is a presence in the toilet No sooner than hi identified that, two people in co in from behind Bertrand
While listening to the outco to the sounds, he ascends the stairs The door at the side was opened The head, which just peeked out fro sure to shi+ft around it and step over it while it’s gushi+ng out dark redness, he quickly stepped into the room
“Wh-!? Y-You are”
Severing the arrasped the scabbard of a sword, he cuts open their throat by overturning the katana Kicking that which had beco sounds, he cleared away the sword’s point which caht responseattacked i of swords
“You bastard… of the Sand Polishi+ng Shop!”
Returning only one glance at the uard He prepares his body so that he won’t step on the flesh-coloured things being scattered around Although thea finger, he e He forsakes that, which started toup The hand affixed by the blade’s point trans down
“A-aaa”
He looks down on that skinnyto be tied to the ground, he tries to desperately retreat his body with both ar both his feet as they aren’t reliable He will probably even use his jaw in the end, Bertrand anticipated with a little admiration The attachment to life turns into dread towards death
“I wonder who you are You don’t look like a person of the shi+p’s Arrival Shop either” (Bertrand)
Without waiting for an answer, he looks back at the roans with a voice that isn’t one… and the one who has his finger and various other things scattered around on the floor, and cuts off their heads The sounds which came from the direction of the entrance have already beco can be heard from outside anymore either
“A person from the church, eh?” (Bertrand)
Once his interest was aroused, the skinny h force to make it seem as if it was about to be torn off
“I see, a person from the church, huh? In that case let me ask you, why are you in this place? Do you knoho this man is?” (Bertrand)
