pounding.

The moment I saw them, my heart started beating fast.

There were many names to call them.

In the underworld, the Hound of Ruelberta,

On the battlefield, she was also called the saint of death or the maid of annihilation.

However, no one actually knew their real names.

Because they were victims of inhumane experiments that took place in the Ruelbert family for the purpose of researching magic in the past.

“Lord, kill me!”

“-Keah!?”

They were arranging the sprinklers one by one with movements that the eyes could not follow.

It was truly a terrifying force.

The one who blocked the maid’s flying kick with both arms and was impaled on the wall.

The one whose jaw was shattered by a slender fist.

The one who died with a broken back.

The bare-handed maids were overwhelming the killers armed with all sorts of secret devices.

They are gods of death who are not afraid of death.

The killers desperately resisted to escape from the grip of the god of death.

“This, these monsters!!!”

“Get lost!”

They roared in the dark.

blew poison

I cut their arteries with a dagger.

He hit the memorizers in the vitals.

But to no avail.

not even poison

No matter how many times it is cut, it continues to move.

He pressed the killers with a knife stuck in the vitals.

They never stop until they kill their target.

Fear spread across the killer’s face.

Thus, the fight had no choice but to flow one-sidedly.

No, it couldn’t be called a fight anymore.

It was a one-sided massacre and abuse.

[Encroachment by personality is in progress!]

[Your erosion rate is currently 30%.]

In front of that gruesome sight, I was swallowed up by emotion.

Encroachment by individuality.

At first I couldn’t understand what that meant, but now I seem to understand.

[Encroachment by personality is in progress!]

[Your erosion rate is currently 40%.]

Even the maids couldn’t be whole in the fight against the killers.

A maid with a severed finger.

A maid whose ribs were exposed after being cut by a sword.

There was even a maid whose left shoulder blade was missing.

But no one bleeds.

Because they were corpse puppets that felt no pain.

The maid who was guarding me by my side had peeled off her eye patch.

There, I saw the face of a young woman.

Eyes out of focus.

Under it, the blood of the waterspout flowed like tears.

[Encroachment by personality is in progress!]

[Currently, your erosion rate is 50%.]

Milliam was looking at them indifferently.

There was no emotion in that gaze.

There was no sympathy, no sorrow, not even the slightest bit of fear.

That was the person called Millium.

And I realized

The identity of an unknown emotion that was boiling deep within me.

That’s what ‘anger’ is.

[warning!]

[The encroachment by personality is progressing rapidly!]

[Your ego fades!]

[Your erosion rate is currently 60%.]

“… Awesome!”

At that moment, a shattering headache came.

I couldn’t stand it and collapsed on the spot.

“Damn b*tches!”

Unfortunately, the timing wasn’t very good.

A thick forearm wrapped around my neck.

“count! If you don’t want to see your son die, tell them to stop right now!”

He was the head of a bloody killing group.

Suddenly, there was no one alive around.

“Can’t you hurry up?! Before you stick a knife through your son’s throat!”

Cool sensation in the neck.

he was sincere

Then Milliam silently lifted his hand.

At the same time, the maids who had been closing the distance stopped on the spot.

The head of the watering can laughed.

“under! I thought there was no blood or tears, but are you also a parent?”

“Ask me a question.”

“what?”

Milliam slowly rose from his chair.

“How much are private feelings worth?”

“what? that is… Count, what bullshit are you talking about?”

“It seems that you don’t know like an ignorant miscellaneous. answer for you Tristan.”

“… … .”

The arrow of the question was suddenly directed at me.

But it wasn’t something I could possibly answer.

Because of the shattering headache and the water that was clinging to my neck.

Then Milliam said.

“Is it difficult for you too? So let’s change the question. How much is the love between parents and children?”

In fact, I knew the answer to that question.

Because I already knew enough of what kind of person Milliam was.

The answer he was looking for could also be easily guessed.

“that’s… .”

I barely managed to squeeze out my voice to answer.

“… It is worthless.”

“That is correct.”

Then, Milliam took something out of his arms.

Shining silver, it wasn’t a watch you always had with you.

Taang-!

A dry gunshot echoed through the room.

It happened in an instant.

A bullet that had pierced the head of the head of the watering can was shooting faint smoke from the wall.

“Hmm… . I guess I’ll have to get the gunsmith to tune it. There seems to be a problem with the steel wire.”

At the same time, the body of the leader collapsed powerlessly.

“Cool… !”

Freed from his grasp, I coughed dryly.

Even after seeing that, Milliam didn’t even say that it was okay.

But that didn’t matter to me.

[warning!]

[The encroachment by personality is progressing rapidly!]

[The degree of erosion is approaching 70%!]

[It becomes difficult to maintain oneself!]

Because my consciousness was already stained with anger.

I said with a feeling of vomiting blood.

“… Why did you do that?”

“What do you mean?”

After thinking for a while, Milliam said as if he had realized.

“Ah, indeed. Was it worthwhile to capture him alive and make him confess? After all, you are excellent.”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

It made a loud noise that surprised me too.

But Milliam didn’t seem to be surprised at all.

He still looked at his one and only son with emotionless eyes.

“This happened… . Do you think this atrocity can be forgiven?”

“Ahh… . indeed. You meant ‘this’.”

Milliam pointed to the maids who were standing there and said.

“It was worth investing a lot of money in. It can work tirelessly and does not disobey orders. A truly brilliant invention.”

“It’s them!”

[warning!]

[The encroachment by personality is progressing rapidly!]

[The degree of erosion is approaching 80%!]

[It becomes difficult to maintain oneself!]

damn.

I clutched my furious head and said.

“Call them… .”

“… is it.”

Milliam tilts his head as if he doesn’t understand.

The black hair tied up just like mine shakes his head.

“Strange. They have no feelings. can’t even think It’s no different than a doll. Can you still call her her?”

“It’s disgusting. your way of thinking. It’s disgusting. Nausea.”

“Right… . Note it.”

Millium nodded.

Seeing it again made me angry.

“Are you even human?”

“I am an unmistakable human being.”

“Do not be ridiculous! You are not human!”

“is it.”

Moonlight poured through the window.

My fists, which were tinged with cold light, were clenched tightly.

If I didn’t do that, I felt like I was going to hit the man in front of me.

Milliam opened his mouth.

“Humans… . I don’t remember most of my childhood. Do you know why?”

I didn’t answer.

Milliam also continued talking alone, as if he did not expect an answer.

“Because it doesn’t matter. That’s why I forget.”

Milliam approached the window.

“I also forgot what happened in those days.”

Milliam’s face reflected in the moonlight was the same as usual.

He spoke to me in a mechanical, undisturbed voice.

“You are still young. Tristan. so… .”

I swallowed.

“You will forget everything that happened today.”

“… Do not be ridiculous. Who are you to determine?”

At my question, Milliam shook his head.

“You’re too young.”

“what… ?”

“You have already forgotten. your past.”

“… What are you talking about?”

I asked the ominous question.

Milliam sighed and pointed to the maids standing next to him.

“You just said ‘they’ to these.”

“… ?”

“Muri, Rika, Cynthia, and Beth.”

Names listed one by one.

That number matched the number of maids next to her now.

But something was strange.

‘I’ must be the first name I’ve ever heard.

Why do I get so angry that I can’t control it every time I hear those names?

Milliam lifted his hand and the tallest maid took off his blindfold.

The face of a woman with a naive impression was revealed.

“Muri was the one who changed your diaper.”

pounding.

The next maid took off her blindfold.

It was a young maid whose arm had been cut off.

“Rika was the kid who served you snacks in the kitchen.”

pounding.

Then the maid took off the blindfold.

She, who had disappeared to the shoulders, was also young.

“Cynthia was your educator.”

pounding.

And the last maid was the one next to me.

The youngest-looking maid among them.

Milliam looked at her and said.

“And Beth… I am the one who had feelings for the ‘Bocchan’ who served him without even knowing my subject.”

stop.

[warning!]

[The encroachment by personality is progressing rapidly!]

[The degree of erosion is approaching 90%!]

[It becomes difficult to maintain oneself anymore!]

Milliam looked at me pitifully.

“You seem to have forgotten the names of the nannies who raised you.”

“… … !”

I cried out silently.

[Condition satisfied!]

[Tristan’s locked memories flow in!]

A memory Tristan desperately tried to forget.

Memories that I couldn’t bear not to forget flowed in.

I ran into Milliam.

“Muri… ! Myuri was like a caring mother to me!”

baek!

I swung my fist as hard as I could in the guy’s face.

“Rika always smiled even in a busy kitchen!”

baek!

“Cynthia was my only teacher!”

baek!

I looked at the girl next to me, whose name was Beth, and sighed.

“Bess… . Bess… … . She was the first girl to tell me she liked me!”

My fists trembled.

My fist hurt.

My heart ached so much more than that.

The corners of his eyes were hot as if boiling anger had been poured out.

“you… ! you took it all! entire!”

I was in tears.

Because their voices came to mind.

This is not the memory of ‘me’.

A memory that Tristan had forgotten and wanted to forget.

When I noticed, I was already grabbing Million’s neck.

Even then, Milliam just looked at me without distraction.

his mouth was open

“… Be angry. Tristan.”

[The degree of erosion is approaching 95%!]

“As I did to my predecessors, accept the anger that descends on House Ruelberta.”

[The erosion rate is approaching 99%!]

Then, Milliam put something in my hand.

A cool, heavy iron was touched.

The revolver’s muzzle is pointed at his chest.

clap.

“Shoot. This is your anger.”

The tip of my index finger touched the trigger.

The history of Ruelberta is stained with tragedy.

Seeing that dark side, I despaired and became angry.

I couldn’t forgive my father, Milliam, or the Ruelberta family.

But… .

I removed my finger from the trigger.

As I tried to swallow the anger that had risen up to my throat.

“The curse that descends on this Ruelberta family will end here.”

It’s still too early to get angry.

Until you see all the truth hidden in this family.

Until we save the world from destruction at the hands of players.

I will endure.

“… … Is that your answer?”

I met eyes with Milliam.

Those eyes were different from usual.

It wasn’t empty eyes like always, but rather eyes staring straight at his son.

“i get it… .”

said Milliam, holding the revolver in my hand.

“You don’t have to forgive me.”

Taang-!

A mist of blood spread.

[The trial is over!]

[You have withstood the trials of personality ‘Rage’!]

[Settings change!]

[I opened my eyes to a new personality!]

[You have acquired the personality ‘Patience’!]
