Chapter 338 – Punishment
“There were people like that?”
“Yes. Here is the information about these guys that Chairman Nahiru has collected so far.”
‘… W, here? What happened to me?’
The voices of a man and a woman vaguely heard from beyond the darkness.
Frank, who was confused as he regained consciousness, reflexively tried to ask the owners of the voice for help.
First, the knowledge I had accumulated while working in the family and the coldness of the floor that I could feel throughout my body stopped it.
He continued to pretend to faint and tried to guess the situation he was in as calmly as possible.
‘Did you faint?’
He seemed to have fainted.
And the reason is definitely because of the story Jun told him.
‘What? Thanks to me, his Auror core blossomed, he became an adventurer with that power, he became a member of the hero’s party in recognition of his power, and he even became lovers with the hero and the saint?’
It was truly the life he dreamed of.
However, it was not anyone else but the guy who wanted to kill so desperately that achieved it. How can I am not faint?
I was madly angry and jealous. Really crazy.
Is that why? No, maybe of course…
‘Well, it’s probably a lie. It is said that the third core needs to receive God’s blessing like a hero or a saint, but he can bloom. That’s right, then of course it would be a lie to say that he became a member of the hero’s party and that he became lovers with the hero and the saint. There’s no way a hero or a saint would appreciate his useless abilities.’
He dismissed Jun’s story as a lie.
He said that Jun made it up simply to make him angry and despair.
‘You bastard, I’ll tell the warrior and the saint.’
Since warriors and saints are women, they would be very angry if they went around talking about being lovers.
A merchant like him can make a bowl of muksa in an instant.
Part of him wanted to do it right now, but it felt like the evil guy had restrained him from fainting, so Frank decided to hold back for now.
Frank laughed like crazy inside, imagining Jun lying on the floor after being beaten by a warrior and a saint.
But that smile didn’t last long.
This is because the words ‘warrior’ and ‘saint’ reminded her of the images of those women casting a cold gaze and dismissing her as she tried to subtly show off her talents by pretending to beg.
The voice of the warrior I heard at that time.
Although the temperature difference within it was very stark, the voice she heard at that time and the voice of the woman behind Jun’s voice were clearly the same.
‘Oh, no. It must be an illusion.’
Frank tried hard to believe that.
But no matter how much he thought about it, the two voices belonged to the same person, and in the end, he couldn’t hold back his curiosity and opened his eyes.
“… Uh? Ugh!”
“Huh? Are you going to stop pretending to faint now?”
Then he could see.
Jun and Jun are sitting on a luxurious sofa, talking to themselves but not taking their eyes off the documents in their hands.
“What are you going to do about that guy? Daliing♡”
“Honey, I recommend sending it to the Inquisitors.”
The image of a warrior and a saint clinging to that guy’s side and fawning over him like a prostitute.
“The… Story?”
“Was the story I told you true? Then it’s true. “Why would I lie to you?”
Jun snorts as if this is nonsense.
Only then did Frank admit it. No, he had no choice but to admit it.
That this miserable and hopeless reality is not a lie but a fact.
“… You were always like that. Both now and in the past, you had what I wanted so much without any hesitation.”
Despite having no physical abilities, the will and effort of Leon and Donald, two physically gifted individuals, did not give in and continued to train their bodies.
The courage to throw down his life without hesitation to save his friend, and the luck in heaven that allowed him to come back alive like a miracle and obtain everything.
Jun had everything that he didn’t have.
“Why? You are a common orphan just like me! But why do you have them all!”
“That’s because I worked hard. On the other hand, the reason you don’t have them all is that you didn’t work hard.”
“Shut up! “Shut up!”
“The reason you hated me so much was because you were the same but different.”
“Zenjaaaaang!”
It was the perfect answer.
Just by looking at Leon, I could tell that he came from a noble family.
From what I found out, Donald’s parents were quite famous adventurers.
So, whenever I was madly jealous of those two people, I could comfort them by saying that it was because I was born to poor parents, so even if I didn’t have what they had, it wasn’t my fault.
However, it was a different story when the object of envy was Jun.
Like himself, he was an orphan of unknown origin, and even a black-haired barbarian who was considered lowly and sinister.
Since he was a guy who had less luck with his parents than himself, when Frank was jealous, he couldn’t console him by blaming his parents, unlike when he was jealous of the previous two people.
In the end, he had to face the fact that every time he envied June, he, Frank, became less of a person.
For Frank, who had unnecessarily high pride, it was extremely painful.
“So you were trying to kill me? Because of your small pride?”
“Okay! You, who have everything, would never know. To me, pride is the only thing I have, and that’s why it’s more important than anything else! “I couldn’t stand by and watch you destroy something precious just by existing!”
Frank’s voice full of sincerity.
It was the voice of someone truly struggling to survive.
It seemed like he truly believed that if he didn’t kill Jun, he would be the one to die.
“Yes, I see.”
I understood the motive. Although I didn’t sympathize with it.
Anyway, he answered the question he had been wondering about ever since the moment he almost got killed by that guy…
“Then just leave now.”
Now it was time to collect the debt.
“Uh, where?”
“I told you earlier. “I won’t let you even dream of becoming an adventurer.”
Frank opens his eyes anxiously.
Jun looked down at him dryly and said calmly.
“You, a member of the warrior party and a serious criminal who dared to kill the cardinal of the church, are sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labor. “If you work in a mine where there is not a single light, you will realize what is truly important in life.”
“Hey, you bastard! That’s it! Hey, warrior! Holy woman! Please stop that guy! It’s already been 8 years, and I swear to God, I will live a good life from now on!”
Frank, who was shouting at June, soon realized who was next to him and begged for mercy from the warrior and the saint.
But all that came back was a cold sneer.
“Joy! Even in this situation, you lie. “You are truly helpless.”
“We are grateful to ourselves that we only ended up in hard labor. “If it were me, it would have been summary punishment.”
“Shit! Zenjaang! This can’t be happening! It can’t be like this!”
Frank screams and struggles as if he is not satisfied with the repayment method.
Knowing this would happen, he tied his limbs tightly with rope, so it was only a little noisy.
‘No, it hurts my eyes too.’
It was filthy to see it wriggling like an insect.
When Jun looked at him with rising disgust, he looked at Leonard, who was standing there awkwardly.
“Be satisfied with this level.”
“… I get it. Just because I didn’t kill him would have been appreciated. But, it’s really shameless to ask for something like this…”
“Don’t hesitate and just say it. “I will listen and decide whether to grant your request or not.”
As if he was truly shameless, Leonard opened and closed his mouth several times before finally saying a favor.
The request was that the mine Frank would go to was a mine near Lemumuni.
“Are you planning on going to see me?”
“I’m trying now to correct the personality of this guy that I couldn’t correct when I was young.”
Honestly, Jun thought that was impossible.
It is often said that people cannot be rewritten.
However, even considering his kindness in feeding and raising him, Jun accepted his request.
“Thanks. And can I talk to Frank alone?”
“Even if you try, you won’t hear good things.”
“…”
“Well, do whatever you want. “I was just about to go meet someone.”
Jun left the parlor with his wives.
I could hear a priest confessing from behind, but I didn’t bother to listen.
Because the only one worthy of hearing it was the light he believed in and followed.
――――――
Jun, who came face to face with the person he would soon meet, the chairman of the Elance Alliance, Nahiru, asked her bluntly.
“Elf-onlyist? What are they doing? “What about these crazy kids?”
