Chapter 39 – Temporary United Front Part 1
[Selection: Do not take action on the souls of heroes – 80.64%]
What to do. My intuition is telling me that it’s right to put a failsafe on the female souls now. If they did, they would be able to proceed with the brainwashing scheme much more safely. However, according to Lowe, taking action now could damage the soul.
Soul damage.
We can’t even predict what the outcome will be. It may end simply with a change in personality, but it may also result in loss of ego and become a crippled person. The ending where the heroes become like dolls unable to respond to external stimuli is not the ending I want.
Greed for the safety of plans and results.
I thought about it for a while, but in the end I couldn’t give up my greed. I like the heroes now with empty eyes in front of me, but I also want to make them all sane and obey my trivial commands.
“…There is no change to the plan. Low. I will proceed as is. Dalton. Today’s show was amazing. I’ll leave it to you to take care of it.”
“”Under.””
I left the cleanup with Lowe and Dalton and got out of the soul brainwashing room.
◆
On the morning of June 18, 1262 by the star light calendar.
Valhalla Hall, Principality of Vinland.
When I wake up in the morning and walk to the restaurant, Raina and Aricia walk across the hallway. Their faces, which had slightly hardened expressions, changed to a stern look as if they had met their enemies on a single wooden bridge when they saw me.
They look intimidating as usual, but if you look closely, it’s a little different from usual.
“I’m sorry…”
Reina’s gait was somehow unstable, slightly staggering. It was because she was walking in a huddled position with her buttocks slightly behind her, as if holding back her urine.
“Hot…”
Aricia, who always proudly walks with her shoulders stretched out and her chest sticking out, is also shrinking her body a lot today. Her golden eyes, which radiated a hideous glow every time we met, are not shining today. Instead, she glanced back at her own breasts, as if something was bothering her.
The balls of the two approaching people are reminded. It’s early summer, but it’s not so hot because it’s morning, but beads of sweat are forming on their foreheads.
Yesterday’s body modification must have had an effect. Every time they walk on their bumps that have grown unsightly, their underwear rubs against them and stimulates them. It must have been a while since I woke up and started working, but it seems that my body is already quite hot.
“Hoo. You two are together like this. That’s a rare combination. Did you enjoy your breakfast? Heroes.”
I partly bowed my head deeply and said. It was because I couldn’t hold back my laughter when I remembered the miserable remodeling of the two of them yesterday.
Huh. It won’t be long before you can lower your head like this! Poor sow bitches who don’t even know what happened that night…!
I laughed heartily in my heart, and I looked up and saw nothing in my eyes.
…What? What is this…?!
I was taken aback by the sudden darkness of my vision. A murderous old voice knocking on my eardrums, unable to understand the situation.
“Kain Vinland…! You fucking bastard!”
And, the sound of threats against him.
“…Please step back.”
Cold sweat flows Because I realized why my vision suddenly became dark. It wasn’t dark. Just BlockedWas This fist that stopped right in front of my eyes…!
Instinctively, he backs away and retreats. Then, things came into focus.
The moment I lowered her head, Aricia approached me like her lightning bolt and struck her fist. It was a perfect blow with no preparatory movements.
Its speed. And the strength she displayed.
If she hadn’t stopped her fists on her own, she might have blown my whole head off already!
But, if you were going to kill me, why did you stop? Alicia’s terrifying murder that was uttered in an instant was sincere. The answer is also right in front of you.
Lowe is blocking my way in the form of reaching out her right hand and smashing my head, burrowing into Aricia’s arms. His knuckle-clad right hand rests under Aricia’s chin.
Law, who was escorting me from behind, reacted to a blow I didn’t notice at all. Law jumped between me and Aricia without hesitation to protect me. That quick decision saved me.
“Ah, Sir Aricia?! Do you know what you’ve done? You, now the third son of the Grand Duke of Vinland, attempted to assassinate Cain Vinland!!”
Aricia did not respond to my words that were pouring out in rage. Her eyes are fixed on Lowe in front of me. Her eyes were those of an animal, like prey. Her head cools in an instant. The situation is not over yet.
“Yeah. I thought it was just a stingray, but it turned out to be a pretty fast rat. Haha. By the way, did you think you could threaten me with a killifish fist like this?”
Lowe didn’t react at all to Aricia’s provocation. Just, he said in a voice that seemed to be crawling from the depths of hell.
“… If you move, you die.”
It was a self-evident fact.
Aricia had already given up her arms to Lowe while attacking me. If she moved her right arm up even a little, Lowe’s right fist would blow her jaw off.
However, even in the unfavorable situation that gave her the upper hand, there was no sign of tension in Alicia’s expression. The corners of her mouth rise slowly.
“Try. Tight.”
Before the mockery was over, Lowe’s right hand moved. He knows that even a child knows that it is advantageous to take a player in a fight. Right now, Lowe caught Alicia off guard and took the player for sure.
It was already too late to avoid it. Lowe’s uppercut aimed at Alicia’s chin was sufficiently accelerated in a short moment, and contained a surprising amount of impact. The knuckle in her fist would reach its target in an instant and break it with ease.
Opponent HumanIf it was
“…!”
However, standing in front of Law is a person who is beyond human. That’s why her humans feared her and praised her as her hero. Predictions based on common sense can’t be right…!
Aricia’s left hand came up and pushed Lowe’s right elbow lightly, and at the same time, Aricia tilted her head slightly to her left. Then, her blow, which should have shattered her chin, grazed Aricia’s right cheek with a difference of a piece of paper.
Kwa-ang!
“Cheuk…!”
In the next moment, the game was decided. Rowe crashed into the wall with a roar. As if strangling him, Aricia’s left foot, wearing her boot, was crushing and suppressing it.
“Rat. If you move, you’ll break your neck, so take care of yourself.”
“…!”
Aricia, who overpowered Low so easily, slowly turned her head. Those golden eyes are now on me.
“What is this…!”
“Shh. I ask questions.”
With her left foot holding her low, Aricia reached out and grabbed me by the collar and pulled me. The eyes of the beast flash right in front of her eyes.
“Kain Vinland. This baby boy!! Why did you do that to us?”
Her heart sinks.
“What…?”
The wolf’s eyes stare into my eyes. As if looking into the heart…!
“Are you thinking of making fun of it? Cheating doesn’t work! You can’t say you forgot about yesterday, can you?!”
“I’m sorry…!”
I desperately tried to hide her feelings at the words of her interrogation, but her moan escaped from her mouth.
What’s going on? Her brainwashed…?
How far did you find out? Do you remember being brainwashed in the soul brainwashing room? Or was it just that he felt uncomfortable with the humiliation he had inflicted on him during the day and his changed body?
No, no. There is no use worrying like this! How far would these women have saved me if they found out that I was brainwashing…!
…Can you save me?
A flash of light passes through my brain.
If you really noticed the brainwashing Why am I alive now?
Think. Remember. Don’t stop thinking Cain Vinland! Opportunity is definitely still there!
What does it mean I’m alive?
Wait, wait. There is a more fundamental problem. Why AriciaIs it?
Even when she planned, she assumed the possibility that Reina, who had a quick mind and good senses, would notice her brainwashing, but she didn’t think that Aricia, who was on the slow side, would notice.
But why is Reina still, while Aricia…?
This situation is strange. No. Come to think of it, I felt a sense of incongruity ever since I met these women in the hallway.
Why are Reina and Aricia at this time TogetherYou know…?
“Ah…”
What leaked out again was not a moan, but a sigh. You must check the correct answer. She slowly turns her gaze away from Aricia, who is glaring at me as if to kill her. Then, she met eyes with the person she had forgotten.
Reina leaned against the wall in her hallway with her arms crossed while she stared at me with a cold gaze. She did not miss a single thing of this instant commotion from the beginning, she was watching with her blue eyes like those sapphires.
