Ronin was aghast, but he heard in his head:
(There's no other choice, prune. If you can hear this, I'm doing this to take all the doubts of your little banana friend away from you.)
(I don't have a scythe. I can't generate one and even then, they'll find out eventually. So might as well kill this whole family! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!)
Ronin wanted to tell him 'You're a madman.'
But he also understood the logic of the situation. This was the best damage control he could do.
"For so many days, you and this Commoner friend of yours didn't know a single thing. Hahahaha! You're both naive morons for not seeing it when it was clear as day!"
He was taking the fall for him and making it appear like Ronin never knew about this. That way, he could still continue to fool Cermin and achieve his goals.
Cermin felt like he would puke again. He was horrified, and felt the same as he did when he saw that dead bird.
"Y-You're still alive....." Cermin stammered.
