Instant Messiah

……

"... Um, would you like a job"

"Oh!? You're dirty, get lost!

……

"Your, hey, husband on the road. I'll do anything. Could you let me work...?

…………

……

"Please. I don't have anything to eat today. Please..."

"Wow, you're in the way, you fucking kid!

... got kicked in the face.

Even today, he took the paunches on the side of the road from the dogs and lost.

The water at the third horse cabin is easy to drink because it's not too dirty.

... Tomorrow to try my best, I found it, it's my only place... I fell asleep in a wooden sinus outside of town.

Before tomorrow came, it was taken from me by the same beggars.

... What Master Tia said was not wrong. I'm still too early to get out of the world. [M]

But I can't spend forever in that forest.

... You're hungry.

――――――――――――――――

Something good and bad happened today.

I got a job rarely. That's what was good there.

A child of the same age was introduced as a work companion. That was very good.

... the job was to steal things from people. That wasn't very good.

... I've been trampled down on the rewards of my job. That was a little silly.

... A fellow who missed the escape was killed. That was pretty bad.

.................. I want light.

I feel like my place is just a little too dark.

When it's hard, the priest said to remind me that there's no rain in the world that won't stop, but I think I'll catch a cold before it clears up.

... Sometimes it's rain of grace, what a sensible reminder of being pissed off.

I wonder if the punishment hit me.

――――――――――――――――

... sturdy things.

I heard that there was a job that said that was the only condition of employment.

The only thing I can say is that I've never been sick.

Father, is it conceded, for years and appearances, it is often said that it is quite powerful.

I don't know what your job is, but if you're just looking at the terms, you might say it's my job.

The goodness hurried and quickly headed to the recruiting place.

... Starting tomorrow, you're hired.

In the gathering of people who wanted me and your father to hire them, they could compare their powers and choose them because I was the one who stayed until the end. People around me were desperate, but I was desperate to live too, so I didn't hesitate to do it and I managed.

Thank you. Now I'm finally going to have a crowded life, too.

Your salary is cheap, but it's too much because you can have enough rice.

Good luck. They'll explain everything tomorrow, but we'll do everything we can.

I work hard and live like a human being. [M]

I have to live. Instead of everyone in the village not being able to live. I'm the only one who remembers everything.

... Let's do our best. I have to be happy.

――――――――――――――――

I hate it...... and that was my first impression of what the job was all about.

It's perfectly fine to carry luggage or work downstairs.

But he hired me as a slave trader. They have to take care of the people who got bought and sold.

... whoever's been sold, who's going to be sold, they've all looked at this one with dead eyes, and that's just a little hard. It's so painful for a girl like me to look at me with a resentful face.

But I hear there's a good side and a bad side to any job. In the end, even if I don't do it, if someone else does it, I'll probably push people to do my own nasty work...

... It's not good to hate eating, is it?

The world may also need this kind of work, so let's do our best for now.

――――――――――――――――

My husband's job seems to be only to carry the goods. Occasionally we are involved in buying and selling, apparently.

The merchandisers lived at some relay points, more unhygienic than the horse cabins there, because they didn't think about taking care of it for long in the first place.

Well, they'll be gone for about two months, no matter how long.

… I want the merchants to have a painless time, at least while I'm involved, whenever possible.

That's what I thought, I tried so hard to take care of myself and clean up, but my eyes didn't change the way they looked at me.

Instead, they seemed to think the colleagues they were dealing with were still better, but I had no idea why.

When they saw you like that, your husbands laughed at you as an extraordinary hypocrite.

... 'hypocrite'. I'm not sure what that means because it was a word I'm not familiar with in the village.

Somehow, I laughed snarlingly wondering if I'd been praised, and I got hit. I still don't know what got in their way.

... everythingI don't know.

I don't know much...

――――――――――――――――

Seven years have passed.

Much used to this job, too.

Even now, I encouraged the merchandisers to stay out of work so that they wouldn't feel inconvenienced as much as they could.

Since it was forbidden to talk to them, it seemed good that they were trying to observe exactly what they wanted. Now, just by looking them in the eye, I can almost see what they're thinking and what the situation is.

For example, for those who are supposed to be from the Volks countryside but have a Seneca accent, strengthen their meal baking additions and subtractions to bring them closer to the flavor they could eat, and change their seasonings.

For those with developing jaw muscles and sluggish teeth and poor sleep, try blurring and whining about toothpicking measures as you pass by in the guise of talking to yourself.

Anticipating menstrual cycles from body temperature and counteracting them before they get dirty.

Anyone who planted poison in the back of their teeth must have something good to do if they were alive, so treat them beforehand so they don't commit suicide.

For those who see a tendency to constipation, give more root vegetables from the point of arrival.

Don't get out of the details like that either, I did my best to think they'd be happy.

... but that also seemed like the only factor that depressed me to them.

Especially when they just arrived, they look at me as if I were a demon. Because you think the value of the product will drop, or all they kept secrets from their husband themselves. If the quality of the product is poor, it naturally also loses the quality of the place of sale. That's why you want it to be healthy at all, even though that's what you're doing.

You don't have to tell me, I'm a pro on this road.

... You don't have to be scared.

... because my husband didn't like me very much. I've also done things that don't work for them so my husband can't dump me.

... Anyone who was good at martial arts advised her husband to cut tendons off his legs, depending on where he sold them.

I'm sorry to bother you as a candidate for desertion.

When someone with a stiff neck movement complains of a headache, you advise your husband to sell it quickly.... In fact, they said the person didn't last very long.

... This one's not much to remember.

My advice was largely centered, but my husband used to whip me whenever I said something.

When I screamed every whip, my husband's heart certificate went bad.

When I started putting up with the screams, my husband's heart certificate got worse.

When I tried to laugh, burnt spirals and the like were used.

Still, if I was laughing, I wouldn't be able to raise my hand anymore.

I know why my husband got angry. I would tell you to turn around.

I knew I'd gone too far, but still, I have to tell you to protect myself. Because in the first month, I realized that if I wasted the product, I would be sold myself.

I had to protect my own worth.

As my colleagues kept disappearing, I was, at some point, the oldest stock.

... Whatever,

I thought I was doing good.

I'm used to smelling people's blood.

Human beings who faced death from disease also found out that body odor changes.

... I'm just used to it, I just found out, I still don't like those smells.

Naturally, I wouldn't be able to stand it if I kept doing this on my own.

I had a good side. So I've been able to do it without a problem before.

Hey, Dear Tia.

... she will always be beside me. That's what he told me when I left the woods.

No reply, but there's no way she's lying. I'm in trouble, I'm stuck. This is how I ask Tia when I am.

That's what she'll tell me.

Good luck.

... I'm sure she would say that. Say so. She was such a snake.

No, I'm just crazy, she's still responding to me, and I'm just deaf and deaf.

Talking to her is the easiest way to forget the whip pain. I just enjoyed imagining what she was saying to me, and no, she's not, she's still here. I don't imagine. No. Master Tia is here. You know, every time I whine, my husband leaves with a disgusting look on his face.

Everyone else, Mr. Merchandise, turns a disgusting face every time I squeal.

But okay.

You obscure fools. You guys are all scum.

Sir, you, the bottom line of buying and selling people is set to end your life, and you will surely be rewarded.

Slaves spit on me for merchandise, and by the time you're here, your lives are over. Roll it down. Both defective products are defective.

They will die anyway. Dead scraps. I know you all hate me.

Die. You guys never once said thank you to me. Die.

Die. Good zama, oh sir, you don't know you're sick. You're gonna suffer. You're not gonna live another five years. It hurts. Not comparable enough with about one or two shots of whip. Get out of my way.

Slave woman who looked down on me there, you, there's a kid in your belly. I don't know whose species it is, but I'm sure both parents and children will suffer. Your kid has been a slave fate since birth, I'll be glad to hear it. Nice to meet you. Hihi.

Oh, misfortune, misfortune, this guy always has eyes. Am I going to starve with or without money, oh good life, hey, shouldn't you guys have been born?

Fools, you look great Zama, you can't see Master Tia because you guys are ignorant.

I can't hear Master Tia because you guys don't have enough prayers.

Hey, Dear Tia. Dear Tier. Dear Tier. Dear Tia.

You're not alone, are you? I'm not alone, am I?

Everyone in the village is inside me. It's okay, I can do it. It's okay. Yes, Master Tia is still here. I'm sure you'll be listening.

I do good things on top of this. [M] She compliments me, too. Everyone compliments me. I'm alive now. I'm just happy to be alive. That should be it, the priest used to say that too.

I'm happy, unlike you guys.

"... you, hey, what's up? Are you okay? I wonder if it hurts even in my stomach, my spicy face..."

... From the cage where the product was placed, I heard a voice.

I haven't been spoken to maliciously in seven years.

If we were to limit ourselves to humans, it was the first time in ten years.

At that time, only Mr. Merchandise was, for me, the first 'human' in ten years.

Like everyone else in the village of Nile, he was human.

I decided to let her go.

――――――――――――――――

To let her go, I succeeded. She told me her name when she left worried about this one over and over.

Maria Snowwhite. That was her name.

A small village in Seneca...... that she lived in Servante Seca. Ask him what he's going to do, and he's taken away by something different than a slave trader, he's going to find your daughter.

... this because I refused to let your daughter go... a world betrayed by my own homeland and sold off.

The fact that there are people to sell off.

... I'm going to hate it all.

But because there was even one person like Maria in the world. I still wanted to be human.

I wanted to be human, on my side, capable of caring for someone I was in distress but didn't know.

I wanted to believe that it was good to be born human.

... Because I let Maria go, I will be sold to my husband tomorrow.

I hear the Demons use humans as food. I'm sure I'll die.

But I can't die.

I must live. [M] I have to live up to my promise to my mother.

... Promise.

With that said, my mother also said:

Never forgive the demons.

... just fine. Then let's turn all my depression to the Demons. Let's destroy them.

Yeah, let's do that. What a good idea.

Master Tia said. If you really want to destroy them because there's no more grudges, come back to yourself. Right, Master Boulder Tier. I was expecting this.

It's amazing, Master Tia. Wait, I'll be right there. Long time no see, there's so much to talk about! That, I just talked to you today. I don't care.

Anyway, I have a lot of grudges! I've accumulated so much! I hate you. All of it, I finally know what Tia meant when she said so much.

The world isn't really nice, so I finally figured it out! Master Tia was right after all!

Resentment. Resentment. There's a lot of them.

I asked Tia not to forget. My feelings at First Lost are still clear. The Demons, yes, the roots, if it wasn't for them, I would still live in peace in the village.

Plus, I have a grudge just now. It was their fault that I had such a miserable life. [M]

It was their fault my husband whipped me. [M] Thank you for your help for seven years. Suffer and die.

The people who left me behind, you die, too. I'm not different from the Demons. Hey, I hate your rotten eyes, pray to shit till you die, huh?

... but well, you human-skinned cattle, you guys will finally help. Because you guys got Maria to pay for it. I'll kill the demons. [M] Thank you, humans. Crawl. You'll look forward to stepping on that head, but hey.

Oh yes, I will be a hero, like a father, like a father, brave......

... I can't do that.

No, you can't. Like my father, I can't believe it's for someone.

People who want to help, they're not here anymore. Maria already helped, and there's nothing you can do for me anymore.

Besides, my husband said so. You're a hypocrite. I already know what that word means.

Heroes can't be hypocrites, can they?

... Fine. Enough is enough. Eat some fucking hero. Let's just kill the Demons before we think about it. Let's just kill them all.

I'm a child if I can, even my mother said so.

I'll do my best, Mother. I'll do my best, as I've always done. If you die as a result, you'll forgive me, won't you? Then I'll die with my chest tied up, saying I lived as long as I could. [M]

Yeah, sell me if you want to sell me soon.

Come on, come on. Let's kill him, I'm looking forward to it. I'd like to get to Diabolo soon.

I've never been to that region before, I'm looking forward to it. Takusa, let's go kill him. Oh, my God, I've never killed anyone before, but it's okay. I'm always looking forward to my first experience.

I can do it. I can do it.

Wait, Demons, wait, Beasts.

You guys, I'm gonna kill you all right.

I'll take care of it. I'm gonna rip you all to pieces.

... It's okay, I know. Master Tia said you couldn't be sane to clear your grudges.

I remember the contract I had to sign.

But I have Maho, which Tia gave me. [M] It's okay, it's easy for me to love both demons.

Because I could love a human being. [M] Even those guys could love it. It's easy to decide.

Right, Master Tia? I'm going to see Tia, so wait, Tia? Just be nice, okay? Tia is familiar, but I'm sure Tia will like Tia. I'm sure they'll be fine because they're both Dear Tia.

Right, Master Tia?

... anyone, human, demonic, or beastly, calling me crazy? Yeah, whatever you say. What did you guys do to me? I'll take your word for it. If you think there's even a little bit of muscle left, you can say as much as you want. Shamelessly. Fuck you.

... Say it, it's crazy or whatever.

... but... Even if only a little, if only a little. If you guys were 'humans'.

Why didn't anybody praise me?

――――――――――――――――

... slaver who was hiring Nine. The man sighed as he finally escaped the pressure he had felt for a long time when he sold off Nine to his Kobolt colleagues.

For a man, Nine was only a load.

... I had to admit I haven't been at work. But I never even liked it.

The man is humble. That's what I was feeling. That's good, not even uncommon. It was more convenient.

But if you do a job like this, you're usually supposed to give up a decent life, but that son of a bitch who never gives up happiness, no, doesn't acknowledge his misfortune, and doesn't doubt that he's happy.

The feeling of running to his spine whenever he pointed a shitty word at this one... as if a cockroach would pretend to be a human and smile, I couldn't stop that disgust.

The way that man smiled, opened his mouth and slightly showed his teeth, all I could see was a prep to prey on this one.

I thought if I worked honestly for seven years, my emotions would boil... but I never took it away. That represents everything.

All I felt in the end when I let go of Nine was openness.

... 'Nine is packed only with madness and malice'.

The slave trader was just convinced of that.

... for that slaver who prides himself on his professional pattern, his excellence in human observation, he didn't really think Nine was a 'human'.

He thinks so, too.

Selling Nine away to the Demons and ending his life before unleashing his madness on the world was the greatest feat he had ever done in his life, forgetting eight.

――――――――――――――――

Once, Nine was sold to Diabolo, smearing despair with false hope.

Now, biting despair itself, Nine still laughs.

Run, run.

In front of the room where the Demon King is, take two deep breaths.

That alone brought Nine back to seemingly calm.

Slowly open the door and return to the room.

"... what's up, Nine? It's been a long time."

"... sorry to keep you waiting. Well, shall we come? I heard about it. Are all the shameless apostles coming this way?

"Oh...... even so. Look, Nine. Your people are dying with their hands."

"... hihi"

... Looking forward to it, my dear Demon King.

That said, Nine lay flat at Chris' feet.

... Chris, though he opened his eyes for a moment... fearful, just once, stroked Nine's head.

- Don't worry, Nine. The loneliness, the sadness, I remember too... I know too much. That's what I'm sick of...

- I can get to know you properly. No, I'm the only one who can lean on your loneliness.

- So... leave those little girls to the brave men and cut them off from your life. Watch the demon king die like no other. That way, this time your place will be in this world. No longer exists beside me.

- Well, a brave man may have set up a demon king there. If Nine is going to take care of Christella herself, it sucks, but it's good.

- Even if the contract destroys the flesh, I will eat Chan and his spirit. Then we'll be together forever.

- Christella interrupted me ten years ago... but I won't let you get away with it this time. Give everything. Instead, I'll do anything for you. Because I will give you all of mine. So, please... don't leave me alone -?

- Right, Nine -?
