I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World

74 – King Carlos must pay for his crime with death

“Most of the humans gathered here are refugees from Auren City. In other words, they are the culprits who have been harassing me for three years. There are still a lot of familiar faces… It’s annoying for me to kill each and every one of them, so I’ll leave it to Beatrice. Kill all of them without leaving out a single one.”

“Yes! Mr. Faust! If it’s Faust-sama’s command, I’ll sacrifice my life to fulfill it!”

Beatrice, who had absorbed the dragon’s spinal fluid, wondered if it was necessary to risk her life to slaughter ordinary people, but she was so full of a sense of mission that she left it alone.

Beatrice didn’t even ask me to, but she kissed my instep and spread her wings like a parasol.

The scene where the giant dragon’s wings block the sun and shade Alnine was very symbolic.

“Uh-huh… A happy order to kill humans to your heart’s content… I’ll chew everything well… !!”

The fallen saint began to kill humans one by one, flying through the sky like catching moles.

His eyes are very tenacious as he checks everywhere to see if anyone is hiding or running away.

Now, it seems that ordinary people can leave it to him.

It was impossible to deal with the bugs one by one forever, but I am glad that I have a useful chore.

I have the mission of making the warrior party members pay their fair share and purifying the polluted humanity.

To do so, it is more efficient to remove symbolic figures representing humanity than to slaughter dogs and pigs.

“Well? uh, what is this… Aren’t we obviously doing a play? Why are all the buildings collapsing? What, what is going on?”

—King Carlos, who could be said to be the current leader of the human side, was just about to return to consciousness.

“what? What woman is killing people? Umm… ? Um, could that be Beatrice? They look exactly the same… No, what the hell is going on?”

Seeing Carlos looking around in all directions with a dumbfounded look made me feel a little embarrassed.

Come to think of it, that guy is the culprit behind everything.

Beatrice said it too.

“How nice it would have been if you had been a hero from the beginning.”

Yes. In the first place, as soon as I arrived in this world, the first thing I saw was Carlos’s face, and my fate was twisted.

If a more proper human being was the king… .

Everything went wrong when this bastard appointed Kwak Dong-soo as a warrior.

No, no. In fact, I could have forgiven him even up to that point.

The real problem is that he sympathized with the hero’s evil deeds in order to become the king, the only person in power who could stop the bullying by Kwak Dong-soo.

Carlos not only rejected my request to stop Kwak Dong-soo, but instead transferred me to a stable.

If it weren’t for this bastard, I’d just find another job and I’d never have been cleaning horse manure out of a stable.

I couldn’t quit my job because of the eminent king’s edict, despite being humiliated for years.

The shitty nicknames such as buzzard and can you see the stable were all because of this guy.

Besides, this son of a bitch even sent me a ridiculous letter telling me to “live your life straight.”

Who was responsible for all the time I wasted in the stable, but I wonder if I was talking bullshit like that.

According to the fact revealed by Gerena, Carlos ＜deliberately＞ chose a trash like Kwak Dong-soo as a hero.

If a competent person combines the power of a warrior, he fears that his authority will be threatened.

But behind the scenes, Carlos is the scum that collects huge taxes from each country, saying that we need to give donations to the warriors.

The more I think about it, the more angry I get. The karma created by this bastard is not one or two.

I even had this bastard work in the stables for a while to get me in the mood for reverse, but it didn’t seem to have any effect at all.

They say people don’t fix it… After all, this bastard seems to have no suitable punishment other than death.

Fuck.

“Look! where has everyone gone! I’m a bit thirsty. Can someone bring me some honey water? this is true Genga that I, the king, have to bring something to drink myself! It’s because you’re so rude!”

Look at that impudent face, still bewildered and looking for servants to wait on you under these circumstances.

Even if that bastard was a little more proper human being.

If only I had been appointed as a warrior instead of Kwak Dong-soo, or had Kwak Dong-soo’s atrocities checked even a little bit, or at least shown an attitude of acknowledging his own mistakes… History would have changed greatly.

But that bastard is provoking my anger even at this moment.

Ahh… Angry. It’s been such a long time since I’ve been so annoyed that I can’t stand it.

“Lord, master? Why are you like that? I’m afraid of your face… ”

Misha is also looking at me with a lot of cringe.

“Are you asking because you don’t know, Misha? The baby, who is not born as a royal family, is still unable to repent his sins. How can this not upset you?”

“That’s right, but Master… His expression is much more frightening than usual. It’s not like the owner.”

not like me?

no… What’s not like me?

I was reborn as a vengeful spirit, and Carlos is, of course, my number 0 revenge target.

What’s not like me, having a vengeance on someone who harassed me equal to or more than a warrior’s party?

“uh? I hope it’s there… Fa, Faust!! aaa!! It’s Faust!!! Could it be that Faust has invaded just now?! Where is the great sage?! Whoa, someone save me!!!”

look at that

That stupid bastard finally recognized me and took a step back and knocked me on the butt. How ugly is this

Is this the real king?

It would be even weirder if I didn’t get angry when I saw something like that.

kill. That bastard will surely die. I will never give that guy the same privilege as Beatrice. You can’t be tied to a tree like the great sage. Even that is too much for that bastard. have to kill have to kill I must kill him with my own hands.

“master… It’s also strange from the beginning. It just feels a bit different than usual.”

“What are you talking about, Misha? I’m the same as always—“

no wait There is some truth in Misha’s words.

Why am I so excited? Even when he killed Kwak Dong-soo, he didn’t get this angry.

It’s an obvious fact that Carlos is the enemy, but the tension seems to be higher than when taking revenge on the other guys.

what? What is this lump in my chest?

Why do I have these strange feelings only for Carlos?

＜I hate it… ＞

“Ugh!!”

“?! Why is that, master?!”

My head hurts like it would break. someone is talking to me It’s not a voice I don’t know.

This belongs to the demon king inside of me.

The emotions that boil like the lava of the demon king who peeped at the world through me are also affecting me.

＜I hate it… I hate Carlos… I hate you… ＞

“Hey… ! what are you… Just give me strength, why are you interfering!”

“Why are you like that, Master! Who are you talking to right now!”

Is it invisible to Misha? It looks clear to my eyes.

The figure of the demon king shedding bitter tears as he glared at Carlos with eyes full of resentment.

＜Only you… If it wasn’t for you guys, me and John wouldn’t have been like that… hate… ＞

“Hey Demon King. what the hell are you talking about What’s up with you and the first hero, John? What kind of connection do you have with Carlos?!”

—Instead of answering, the Demon King took me to a different dimension.

A sensation similar to that experienced in the demon lord’s castle.

I was witnessing a scene from the past by entering the place.

The most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life was humming and knitting.

A girl with more beauty than Misha or Beatrice… Aside from being simply pretty, the atmosphere surrounding her, which seemed impossible to dare to touch, even made me feel divine.

「Hmm~ Umm~♪」

Even the humming voice is as sweet as a celestial harmony.

What is this sight? Is this heaven?

It is probably difficult to understand her mystery unless you see it yourself.

I’ve met pretty girls without any regrets, but… I don’t dare to go against this woman.

Even touching it would be a sin.

But somehow… I feel like I’ve seen this woman somewhere.

It’s not to the point of being someone I know, but I think I’ve seen it somewhere.

where was that

“sister. Have you been knitting here? A man named Yohan caused a stir in front of the palace because he wanted to meet my sister.”

「Oh, Carlos. so? Where is John now?」

A young boy dressed in a formal dress approached with arrogant steps, as if already showing off his status.

By the way, is that guy just called Carlos?

Come to think of it, that kid looks a little like the King Carlos I know.

In particular, the angry expression filled with that sense of privilege was exactly the same as that child.

“huh. Of course I kicked it out. It seems that he is crazy to dare to meet the Princess of Aurelia despite being a backstreet bully. Next time I come, I plan to cut my head with a guillotine.”

“Don’t do that, Carlos. John is a kind-hearted person.”

“Since my sister has been circling the man like that, rumors spread that, ‘Princess Irene fell in love with a commoner, abandoned her royal status, and intends to marry a commoner.’ Do not forget that your sister is not just a princess, but also a saintess whose duty is to comfort the hearts of the people. Even that John should know his fraction.”

oh

remembered

that woman… It is the woman who was lying in a coffin with a stake driven through her heart that I saw in the castle of the devil.
