As all that scene unfolded, a grin popped out on my face.

It was quite natural, wasn't it?

"I'm not weak anymore, stinky humans."

❮The skill 『 Black Slash 』 evolved in 『 Four Deadly Black 』❯

❮The player has reached level 24.❯

That 『 Four Deadly Black 』technique range's quite big.

Impressive.

Lots of enemies just got exterminated right now.

Ahhh. I could sigh in relief. Really.

Today's been a productive day. Yes. Productive is today and today is productive. All the garbage was to be taken care of. I really could sigh in relief.

Looking around me, there were so many dead people now. They were lying down here and there, pathetically.

And I killed all of them. With the same sword they tried to kill me with.

"So, how does that feel like, pathetic creatures, hm?" I asked them without expecting any answer.

I wasn't weak anymore. I was sure of it.

Now, I could defend myself against bullies.

"Hah," I let out a chuckle without really thinking about it. I genuinely was happy.

After all that went down, I still was standing on my legs, alive. I just won, basically. It made my lips arched up, forming a smile.

With one quick movement, I cleansed the sword of the blood which was covering it.

Next thing I did was put it back to its sheath.

That sheath being attached to my belt, my sword was settled.

And I was ready to pull it back off in any given situation.

Everything's perfect.

And I was ready to set off down the track again.

Yes, perfect.

Everything was.

Suddenly, though.

"Brother!" a voice ranged out.

New people were arriving at the scene

Everything was indeed perfect--Up til that moment.

With one quick movement, I brushed my black hair backwards. As they were a bit too long, they were hindering my sight. I tried to take a look at them, but...

Only then did it happen.

All at once, everything started to tremble and shatter around me.

I was losing my balance.

Everything's spinning around me…!

It was as if I was the center of everything. And it didn't stop. Far from that.

The earth was still shattering with mighty movements!

I didn't know what to do.

I mean, except not falling, what else was there for me to do? I tried to plant my feet whatever I was stepping on.

This was the right thing to do, correct? Not falling it was, then! I grinded my teeth and tried to bear with it.

It had been in vain, though. I had no control on it whatsoever.

Because I started to fall onwards--No, was I falling to my right? I wouldn't know.

Next thing I knew, somebody was propping me up. I wasn't falling anymore.

They had been holding firmly on my shoulders. All thanks to them, I didn't stumble.

I couldn't help but to frown, though. I then put my fingers on my temples and massaged them both.

I could feel a dull pain coming from it.

"Brother…!" Someone talked to me.

"Wh--What's happening…?" I looked at him, still frowning.

"Brother, it's me. Inera told me about Remie…" He said before he paused. He then proceeded to get closer to my ear and whispered, "Well, he wasn't worthy of her anyway."

I wasn't completely listening, though.

"Hey, you listen to me? You here?" he added, shaking my shoulders softly.

Slowly, I was coming back to my senses.

"What was all … all of that?" I looked around me, interrogating myself.

The man who'd just helped me was now checking up on me, "So, you got any wounds? Heh, it's been a while, hasn't it," he said and laughed.

Meanwhile I was still looking around me and examining my surroundings. What on earth was happening right now? That's the question I'd been trying to make sense of.

The whole thing had come to a stop.

No earth shattering anymore.

"Well, how weird."

"Uh… Did you actually--Well, was the monster among those people…?"

"Hold on a second, did you just say 'Inera'?"

"Brother, what happened to the monster? Took care of it?" he asked, peering around us. "... Inera told me, yeah."

"Hmph. My guess was correct. I knew you'd come for me," I smiled at him, searching around his belt with my hands.

"Uh. Yeah, sure. So what happened?"

I seized the dagger attached there in a backgrip.

With it, I simply drew a line vertically.

"Hey, quit playing around. What are you doin--"

Slash.

And with a quick move, shove it up his head, cutting through the brain.

His face was motionless as it was beautified by a grave expression.

As all the earth shattering thing had come to an end, I could stand up pretty normally. That man, though, couldn't do that anymore.

The roles were reversed. I was now the one propping him up.

Or rather, it was the dagger I was holding up that was going from his chin to his … well, to the middle of that skull, I guess?

Thud

As soon as I let go of it, he fell to the ground.

His own body piling up on the few others' on the left.

"An enemy has been slain."

That's what happens to the enemy, yes. They're being slain.

--Oh, and she's here, too.

Behind the dead man who had priorly been standing before me, she stood. So this was the next target, huh.

She must've seen it all.

Yes, she must've seen all of it. Had you looked at her eyes with me, you'd see it too. She was filled with sorrow and fear. Indeed, she must've seen it all.

I started to walk towards her with slow and cadenced steps. My eyes were now analyzing her.

In spite of all I did, she didn't say anything. Didn't she want to complain, at least? She could do that. But, no. She didn't utter any words.

Or maybe she did, with her hands.

She had brought them to her face, now. Sort of saying, 'No, I don't want to kill the monster!'

Was she perhaps expecting that question from myself?

In any case, she must've only been trying to cover her face, most likely. Be it out of fear or out of sadness. Hell, even both fear and sadness at the same time wouldn't be out of question.

Her body started fidgeting and shaking. I was still walking down my way to her.

Her hand still covering her face, she started whining and shedding tears.

[Mana perception] sure proved useful, here. Her hands covering her face, I couldn't see her with my eyes.

Still, I could feel it. She didn't do so much as to stop her whining.

The meters that were separating me from her were now gone.

I came to a stop right next to her.

I crouched down, tried to look at her eyes, while gauging up her reaction.

She's not attacking me, right?

No, she wasn't. She was motionless and intended to stay that way.

"Submissive human, you know your place," she didn't say anything. I waited. Still, she didn't do so much as to even try and look at me.

All she did was cry. And even doing that, she was barely making any sound at all.

"So?" I put in.

Her face was cast downwards.

"Wanna kill the monster too?"

Without missing a beat, she shook her head, her hands still covering it.

I tilted my head to the side, went on to brush her silver hair with one hand.

As she felt it on top of her head she reacted with a little jolt.

"Good human, good," I patted her head twice, then a third time.

She was behaving well towards me. That put me in a good mood. Hm ... a reward. That's what we get when behaving, right?

"The monster shall have mercy on you then," I nodded, lifting myself back up again.

She made it pretty clear. She wouldn't try to kill me anymore. That way, it was fine, wasn't it?

Thus, I wouldn't kill her. She was clearly no longer willing to kill me, anyway. What's the point, I just thought.

What was the point in killing that poor thing?

I mean, as scared as she was, I knew she wouldn't try anything stupid at all.

That's for sure, yes.

I looked up to the sky, breathed in and out.

As for her? She stayed still.

Standing behind me was Pizzato's with its many dead people.

Standing before me was the world. And there wasn't anything preventing me from going there, now.

"The world's ahead."

Thus, I set off down the track again.

The road of sturdy bricks went on along with me, the nearby grass and the sun.

The restaurant had been on an elevated plateau. The road was going down and down as I followed it.

Soon, I was to meet up with what we would call 'stairs,' I believe.

These very stairs went all their way down, and finally connected with the rest of the people.

"Sure looks huge from up there."

The city extended a few miles away, from what I could see.

And I was headed there.

That way, steps after steps I climbed the stairs down to my destination.

The stairs were really tricky, though.

I had to stumble down a few times before actually getting used to it.

Putting that aside, I believe it went smoothly from that point onwards.

And so I was going on with my journey.

Finally.
