Chapter 1175: Side - Adventurers and Soldiers

Side - Former Delinquent Adventurers

DESTROY! DESTROY!

DESTROY

!

Ever since inhaling that black mist-like substance, I began hearing screams in my head.

Who is it?

Dunno.

Despite the excruciating headache from the screams, I couldnt resist their words. I felt like I had to obey that sweet and domineering voice.

Destroy?

Yeah. I will destroy.

Or rather, I want to destroy. Destroy what? Everything! I want to break, ruin, and annihilate everything in front of me!

OOOOUUUUUUUGH! DESTROY!

Once I obeyed the voice, I found myself surging with power. Simply amazing. Let me savor this feeling.

Will I feel even better once everything is ruined?

I must look for a target worthy of destruction

There you are.

A child, a beautiful girl with black hair and cat ears. Shes currently engaged with a ma.s.sive blob, our master.

The girls battle was like a dance.

Worthy of destruction. Yes, I must kill that girl who looks like the captain

No wait, she doesnt simply look like the captain; she

is

our Captain. Her swordplay was so graceful, making her very worthy of killing. Huh? Why am I thinking about killing her? Actually, why do I want to destroy stuff in the first place? All of us together dont even stand a chance against her.

The captains simply too amazing. Stern but also kind, not to mention strong. Plus, she never abandoned us, no matter how hopeless we were. She went out of her way to reeducate us.

I used to be a common thug. I always hated studying, and couldnt be bothered to find an honest job. My shenanigans eventually made me lose my place in the village so I ran away to become an adventurer.

That said, being an adventurer wasnt all rainbows and suns.h.i.+ne either. My bad behavior prevented me from rising any higher than Rank D. I ended up spending my days as a vagabond, causing trouble in various towns before running to the next one. Joining the war wasnt for Kranzel, but because the pay was good, and I heard we could plunder our enemies for everything they had.

We found ourselves a.s.signed to a transport unit for some reason, and thats where we met the Captain.

Those marches were h.e.l.lishly tough.

At the time, I wondered what we did to deserve such torture, but now Im grateful. Its thanks to her that we were able to change.

Its not just me. Im sure every member of the transport unit is grateful.

DESTROY!

No! I owe the Captain, so theres no way Im gonna kill her! And who the f.u.c.k are you?!

DESTROY!

I said

NO

!

Huh? The voice disappeared. What was that all about?

More importantly, whats wrong with everyone? Their eyes look vacant or something I need to wake them up so we can back up the Captain!

UROOOHH! CURRY!

Curry!

Captain! Curry!

Hahaha! It seems there are some more members of that transport unit here!

Side - Kranzel Soldier

DESTROY!

I set off, obeying the mysterious voice.

Destroy. Destroy. Destroy everything! Every single

Oi! Snap out of it!

What? Who the h.e.l.l is this guy? Oh right, that one weirdo from the adventurer squad? He has the strange habit of occasionally saying curry at the end of his sentences.

Why did he punch me?

Huh? Wait, where am I? My head suddenly feels clear. O-Ow! The cheek where I got hit is starting to sting!

W-Why did you have to hit me?

Youve finally come to your senses! Anyway, hurry up and start punching the other guys! Dont make any more trouble for the Captain!

Captain? Oh, you mean that little black cat girl. I hear shes a Rank B adventurer, despite her size.

I dont doubt it. After all, I saw her fighting with my own eyes.

That kids amazing. Shes small, but strong and works hard. If she didnt save us on the battlefield, we might all be dead right now. Yet shes about the same age as my daughter

If that girl is working her b.u.t.t off, then we have to as well. As an adult, I cant just sit on my a.s.s and leave everything to her.

Oi! I still have no clue whats going on, but wake up!

Ugh!

D-Did I hit him too hard?

Where am I?

My colleague, whom I had just punched, blinked his eyes and took a look around.

Thank goodness, it seems he woke up. Apparently, the soldiers around here were being controlled by some strange power.

Must be because of that weird voice. But we can knock some sense into them with a strong enough impact.

Oi! We were being controlled by some weird magic, and causing trouble for the black cat girl over there!

What!? I have to redeem myself!

My colleague suddenly perked up when he saw her. Hes always been a big fan of hers.

So I should just wake them up by punching them, like you did to me?

Yeah! Dont bother holding back!

Gotcha!

She actually has many fans among the soldiers due to being cute, strong, and yet, so earnest. Many of them flew into a rage when they heard she was once an illegal slave.

Theyll surely come back to their senses once they see her again.

Come on! Wake up!
