## Chapter 153 – The Truth Revealed
Everyone makes mistakes.
Anyone can stray down the wrong path for a while.
That’s why I believe everyone deserves a second chance or two.
That was why I gave Lee Hyun-ji another chance at life as a hunting dog.
『March 13th. We reached the summit and settled down. It was a livable place. All the conditions here were optimized for humans. Except for one thing: food was scarce.』
『March 15th. Since food was concentrated on the sea side, the men decided to go back and forth regularly to bring food from the sea.』
『May 17th. A terrible accident occurred.』
I drastically slowed down my reading speed.
Even though this was the second time reading it, this part was hard to get through.
The handwriting was messy, as if the writer’s hand had been shaking while writing.
『While bringing up food, the rope snapped. It was a rope made of material that wouldn’t easily break even if dozens of adult men were hanging from it. As a result, everyone who was coming up fell from near the summit all the way down below.』
The handwriting was a mess, as if reflecting the writer’s feelings.
『Emma shouted. The rope… the rope suddenly snapped. Emma, who hurriedly went down, came back and said, There are no survivors.』
『May 20th. A problem arose. A huge problem. There were too many people compared to the amount of food. We had to decide. How to solve this problem.』
Rustle. Rustle.
Late at night, I was lying alone in Emma’s house, reading the notebook, when a yellow area began to enter my vision.
It was the effect of [Danger Detection].
It visually represented the range of perception of the creatures around me.
I quickly put the notebook in my inventory and pretended to sleep on the bed.
“…….”
The Japanese girl, who had been watching me for a while through the cracks in the wooden wall, carefully opened the door and entered the house.
Creak. Creak.
Then, she came to me and tapped the back of my hand with her finger. I could feel her breath right in front of my nose, and then she poked my cheek with her finger.
“Are you asleep, mister?”
“…….”
“Looks like he’s asleep.”
The girl, thinking I was asleep, made creaking noises again on the wooden floor as she closed the door and went back.
Instead of opening my eyes, I used [Omniscient Observer’s View].
『Omniscient Observer’s View: You can observe any target you have touched at least once in real time. You can vividly feel all five senses as if you were there with them.』
Thanks to her coming and touching my body directly, the usage condition was met.
I went to where the Japanese girl who had poked me a little while ago was to see what was going on.
And I could see it.
Emma’s misdeeds.
“…I’m back, Unni.”
“Oh, you’re back?”
Emma was sitting on the bed, and all the girls were standing naked in a row in front of her.
Then, Emma lifted her foot and kicked one of them.
It was Isabel.
Thud.
Isabel, who was kicked in the stomach, fell to the floor.
“Isabel, Unni told you, don’t talk to or get close to any other adults besides me.”
Emma got up from her seat and kicked Isabel, who was standing in front of her, again. This time, Isabel, who was hit in the thigh, fell to the side and groaned.
“And not only can’t you manage the kids, but you even bring in a bunch of this?”
The food I had given her was piled up next to the bed.
All the girls trembled with their heads down at Emma’s threat.
“Isabel, listen to Unni, okay?”
Emma grabbed Isabel’s nipple tightly and pulled it back and forth. Each time, Isabel’s body staggered and was dragged here and there.
“You have to answer?”
“Yes… Yes, Unni.”
And only after kicking her one more time as if to vent her anger did Emma’s assault end.
The scene I witnessed with [Omniscient Observer’s View] was definitely not a parent-child relationship.
If I had to categorize it, it was abuse.
Coercive violence using power.
“Inoue.”
“Yes, yes. Unni.”
“What’s that human doing?”
“He’s, he’s sleeping.”
“Is that so?”
Nod nod.
Emma gestured.
Inoue quickly went between Emma’s legs and eagerly sucked her pussy.
“Haa. Lick it better. Focus on the pierced spot. That’s right.”
Emma sat on the bed, lined up the kids naked, and called them one by one.
Then, she made them suck her pussy.
After one went, she rested for a while and then pointed to the next kid.
“I told you to move your tongue vigorously, didn’t I?”
Slap!
She hit them if they didn’t do it right. Without hesitation. The kids who were hit immediately fell to the floor.
-Don’t worry. My word is absolute in this settlement.
It was as she had told me.
Emma reigned like a king in this settlement, abusing and tormenting the girls.
She was a tyrant herself.
As I stared at Emma, [Encyclopedia] read my thoughts and displayed her information next to her.
[Personality: Sadist]
[Likes: Women]
[She likes to torment women. But she hates men.]
‘Is that really so.’
『May 25th. Because food was scarce, we selected volunteers to go down to the sea to live, and the adults, regardless of gender, did not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for the children.』
『However, since someone was needed to manage and raise the children, Emma and I remained. She was a soldier, so she could protect the children from danger in an emergency, and I shamelessly remained because I was a doctor.』
But no one knew what one of the people left behind to protect the kids would do.
『June 13th. Today, another boy left the settlement in the middle of the night and went down the mountain.』
Not all of the kids were girls.
There were also boys.
Emma took care of them too. She would wake them up in the middle of the night, take them to the waterfall saying she had something to say, and then push them off the cliff.
-Unni, Jimmy is missing.
-Oh. He told this Unni secretly while patrolling at dawn that he couldn’t take it anymore because he wanted to see his parents. He told me to say hello to you guys for him.
I looked at Isabel, who was groaning on the floor.
The other girls were afraid of Emma and couldn’t even check if Isabel was okay.
She was crying and groaning because she felt sorry for being the representative who got hit, and Emma was happily watching it.
‘What a terrible hobby.’
I’m not one to talk, but I guess it’s because our tastes are different? I can’t stand to watch it.
‘I could step in and help now, but that wouldn’t mean anything.’
I don’t need weak slaves in my harem.
They need to be strong in spirit even if their bodies are weak.
Not for me, but for them.
With that kind of mindset, even if I save them, they’ll end up in the same situation when they meet my women.
‘Then they’ll come to me and whine. Or they’ll suffer from depression and commit suicide.’
I don’t want to make my women look like bad people that way.
So, if they want to come in, they have to change themselves. They have to become strong enough not to be easily eaten.
Even if they know they’ll lose the fight, they have to be able to grab each other’s hair.
Yeah, they have to change that much for me to put them in my fence.
Of course, I’ll have to create the situation.
‘You need kindling to start a big fire.’
It’s a world where the weak get eaten.
That goes for tyrants too.
That goes for daughters from wealthy families too.
‘I don’t care which one it is. As long as they show me a changed 모습.’
I’m not on Emma’s side or those girls’ side.
Strictly speaking, I’m cheering for the girls in my heart, but if Emma fixes her temper and becomes absolutely loyal to me, I’ll take Emma in.
If those girls get rid of their weak 모습, I’ll take those kids.
‘The concept of good and evil is meaningless to me.’
Whether it helps me or not. That’s all that matters.
‘Kim Jae-joon or Yoo Ha-na would have definitely done that.’
Depending on the situation, I could either abandon both or take both, but looking at the current situation, both were still꽝.
That’s why I watched everything and just stood by.
And the next morning.
“Woojin-nim, you were here.”
Emma came with the kids while I was sitting at the fishing spot, enjoying the warm air that was hard to believe was morning weather.
“?”
Emma nodded, and the kids, unlike yesterday, came closer to me.
Emma smiled and whispered in my ear.
“I told them well yesterday to get close to Woojin-nim.”
“Is that so? You worked hard. You’re doing a good job. I have high expectations for you.”
“Thank you. Then I’ll go patrol the waterfall and the surrounding area for a while. It’ll take about 5 hours, so please take care of the kids until then.”
Nod.
“Oh, and please wait a little longer for the main event with the kids. I’m educating them now, so I’ll have them spread their legs soon. Please bear with it, even if it’s a little frustrating.”
Emma disappeared, and the kids came closer to me and rubbed their breasts against my body.
‘Is this what she meant by frustrating?’
In short, it means don’t do the deed yet, just enjoy the skinship.
The kids with dark faces still rubbed their breasts and pussies against my body because it was what Emma told them to do.
And among them, Isabel came between my legs and grabbed my zipper.
Isabel with blue bruises on her chest and stomach.
‘Still, the conditions have to be equal to play the game.’
I grabbed my zipper.
“Stop.”
The kids all stopped at once, and I got up from my seat and headed to Emma’s house, saying.
“Follow me.”
The kids were nervous.
Judging by their darkening expressions, it seems like they 예상 what’s going to happen in the future.
“Come in.”
As expected, the kids came inside and all started to get on the bed and take off their clothes one by one.
“What are you doing on the bed?”
“Huh?”
“Get down because that’s my spot.”
Then, I spread a lot of food on the floor.
“Eat.”
But the kids didn’t eat.
The kids, who glanced outside the house for a moment, came to me and tried to take off my clothes.
“I don’t really feel like doing anything right now. So, don’t think about serving me and eat that.”
“…Really? Can we eat it?”
“Yeah. Don’t worry about it and eat a lot.”
Then, Isabel, who stared at me, picked up the food first.
The other kids who saw that immediately 달려들었다 the food.
It was a natural thing.
Because they had all their food taken away last night, even though they had just received it from me.
Because it all went into Emma’s stomach.
They must be very hungry by now.
‘Now the dark look on their faces is gone.’
“Is it delicious?”
Nod nod.
The kids smiled brightly at me at my question. They smiled brightly and nodded.
It’s definitely good to see beauties smile.
“If you want to eat more, tell me. Oh, you guys haven’t eaten chicken, have you? Just a moment.”
The savory smell of chicken spread throughout the room, and when I put it in the kids’ mouths, their eyes widened.
The bright and happy smiles disappeared, and they were busy eating seriously.
‘They eat really well.’
[Their favor towards you is greatly increasing.]
It’s rare to see favor increase greatly, but [Encyclopedia] displayed the notification frequently.
It was actually an 예상 result.
‘Emma uses violence, and I give them food and quickly build favor.’
There was no faster way to build favor in the current situation.
Emma, who had been their only protector until now, had a replacement, and unlike the violent Emma, I was even kind.
The warmth they felt for the first time in 8 years.
Was that why? Isabel came and said.
“You’re different from Emma Unni. I know that for sure now.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. You’re a good person.”
“I don’t know about that. You don’t know until a person reveals their inner self. I might be a surprisingly ugly person.”
“That’s true. But you’re different. Emma always said she was a good person. But you 공교롭게도 have the opposite answer.”
[Isabel Rougegard]
[State: Affection]
[She has a special feeling for you.]
Even though it had only been two days since we met, it was as if she was seeing a male creature for the first time in her life and falling in love.
The kids quickly fell in love with me, even developing affection for me.
‘Greed changes people, but love also makes people different.’
The conditions should be equal now.
“But why aren’t you eating more?”
“That’s….”
Isabel smiled awkwardly, but I could guess the reason right away.
Because her expression wasn’t good since she showed up in the morning.
[Her internal organs are badly damaged from long-term violence.]
‘끙. If I take care of her more here, it’ll be too much favoritism.’
But what can I do? The racehorse is about to die before it even runs.
[Used 〈Complete Recovery Rune〉 on ‘Isabel Rougegard’.]
“Huh?”
Isabel’s bruises immediately disappeared and her complexion improved.
Was she this pretty? Her skin tone and body changed so much.
Isabel stroked her stomach with surprised eyes, and then lifted her top to reveal her pretty breasts that she had hidden from me yesterday.
“The bruises are all gone…?”
“Wow.”
“Isabel Unni is all better!”
Isabel 주목했다 me.
“Is it magic?”
“Something like that.”
I gave Emma one too, so I guess the conditions are equal.
It’s not like it’s a game where one side wins and the other loses anyway.
From my point of view, I just need to get a good slave, or discard them.
I was going to evaluate them separately.
Of course, even so, favoritism was inevitable.
‘I guess I haven’t completely shed my human side yet.’
I watched the kids eating eagerly and lay down on the bed, taking out the notebook.
『July 28th. There are no changes in the entire island today. No signs of any rescue team.』
『August 3rd. Bruises were found on the children.』
『August 7th. Bruises began to appear in various places on the children’s bodies that were not easily visible. When I asked where they got hurt, the children said they were hurt while playing with each other. But the children’s eyes are not yet mature, so they reveal their emotions as they are. What’s in them is fear. It seems that something I don’t know is happening inside.』
“Oh. That’s the same as the doctor’s notebook.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Right, kids?”
Everyone looked at my notebook and nodded. Even after nearly 8 years, they could recognize it at a glance.
“Can I look at it?”
“What are you going to do looking at someone else’s diary? I’ll show you something more fun.”
Then, I bought comic books for the kids.
Five kinds of comic books that were popular on Earth.
The kids, who hadn’t enjoyed this kind of cultural life for 10 years, quickly fell into it.
『The reason she wasn’t assigned to the beach work crew that day was because she was a woman. Because female soldiers gave civilians more peace and got along better than male soldiers. I don’t know if it was at this time that she harbored strange desires. But she did not miss the opportunity that came to her.』
Shin Seok-ho kept finding bruises on the kids.
Even though he didn’t get an answer from the kids, he sensed the fear in their eyes and 직감 that something was wrong, and he ended up witnessing the act that happened in the middle of the night, just like me last night.
Of course, he told her not to do that, but….
-I’m annoyed because you’re a man, but I’m going to save you if possible because you’re a doctor, but you’re hastening your death, old man.
In the past, Emma in [Encyclopedia] shot him in the knee and dragged him to the waterfall and pushed him down below.
Shin Seok-ho, who was immersed in water and somehow managed to survive, but with his whole body broken, could do nothing.
He left the last record and carefully hid the notebook in one place.
In a place that can never be seen from above.
But in a place where those coming up from below can easily find it.
『August 14th. It’s a mistake. Thinking that there was even a little bit of humanity left in that woman… It’s my mistake. Now she’s the only adult, how much will the children suffer and grow up under her….』
After that, since there were no more obstacles, Emma openly reigned as a tyrant.
The kids who caught rabbits or fish well were loved.
The kids who sucked up well and listened well were praised.
The kids who cleaned the house well received a lot of food.
On the other hand, she used violence if they couldn’t do it well.
And she said it like a habit for 8 years.
-Don’t think. I’ll do the thinking. Just do what I tell you. Who does Unni hate?
-Smart and 머리 쓰는 kids.
-That’s right.
『…If you ask what title I want to put on this book cover, it’s repentance. Yes, that will be the appropriate title for this diary.』
『I hope this article reaches someone and can save the children. I hope it can free them from that woman.』
“What are you doing?”
I faced Isabel, who had put her head on my stomach and was staring at me.
“Aren’t you reading comic books?”
“It doesn’t really suit me. I like realistic things rather than those fantasies. I like talking to people more than reading comic books.”
I was about to open [Shop Window] and buy more comic books, but I closed it again. And I 주목했다 Isabel.
“It’s good to talk. Ask me if you have any questions.”
“Were you always that strong and healthy? Do you use magic too?”
“I don’t know.”
“Emma Unni said yesterday. You’re strong and your body is very healthy.”
I nodded.
“Then are you invincible?”
“No way. I have weaknesses too.”
“What are they?”
“As you can see, my body is strong, but I’m a person too. So I have to eat something after all.”
“Ah, you’re vulnerable to things like poison.”
“I guess so.”
I knew why Isabel asked this question.
And why all the other girls stopped eating at that moment and pricked up their ears.
‘The results will be out soon.’
And that evening, I was treated to food by Emma and the kids.
