I don't know what to think right now.
Everything just sounds like crap to me.
—Hatred, anger, sadness, and various unfamiliar things churned up inside my heart, making it a bit difficult to describe what this feeling was.
Have I had this before?
No, I don't think so. It's definitely not mine, there's something different about me and it looks so happy right now.
Geez, this is really troublesome.
"—Estella, this is an order, swallow them all."
As soon as I gave the order, the shadow under my feet wriggled in an abnormal manner and it moved towards the trash that was trying to escape.
"Huh?! W-What is this?!"
"Hieeeekk!! H-Help, I'm drowning!!"
"A-Aaahh!!"
They winced, they cried, they screamed. But, that's still not enough, I need something even more cruel.
I must try them all fairly. I'm not going to let them just die.
Right, this was justice—No, this was pure evil. I better not be a fool who hides behind the word justice only when I want to.
I must admit, this is my sin.
"Estella, stop, this is enough."
I gave the order and the shadow immediately stopped swallowing the trash. However, their feet were still immersed in the shadows and made them unable to move.
Seeing that, I let out a sigh.
"This is really troublesome."
Then, I walked up to the familiar fat noble, I stared at him with eyes filled with disdain and contempt.
"W-What do you want from me?! Don't you know who I am?! I'm a noble, you idiot! Do you understand what will happen if you fight a noble like me?!"
"..."
Hearing all the chatter I didn't respond at all and ignored it. I took off the mask I was wearing and when he saw my real face, his eyes widened in shock.
"You?!"
"Long time no see, Ophen-san. Are your wounds okay now?"
"Y-Y-You?! H-How did you get here?! You should have been in jail back then!!"
Ophen's body started shaking in fear when he realized it was me. Maybe he's still traumatized when I hit him hard because he teased my Elvy.
"Good, it seems you still remember me. If so, this will be easier. I'll just get straight to the point—"
Before continuing my words, I lowered my head, bringing my gaze to the same level as the man who was half submerged.
Then, with a blank stare, I said:
"Ophen-san, I will kill you."
"—Hc?!"
Ophen's expression was stunned, his body froze like an idiot, he was speechless.
At that instant, the atmosphere fell into silence and I shattered it.
I said, in a calm voice. However, my voice resounded so clearly in this room, causing anyone who heard it to be swept away by my words.
"Ophen-san, you have three sins here. First, because you are trying to touch the person who is most precious to me. Second, because you have made me your enemy. And lastly..." I reached out my hand to the man's face, while looking at him with condescending eyes.
Then, I took out a small iron from [Inventory] and continued saying.
"...Because you have been born into this world."
'Zrut!'

"AAAAARRRGGGHHHHH—!!!"
Ophen screamed, clutching her eye which was pierced by the small iron.
"Aaahh!! Sick! Sick! Sick! Sick!" He kept writhing in pain and crying sobbing. But, instead that caused him even more pain, the iron embedded in his eyes was sinking deeper and deeper.
Seeing what I had done, everyone present panicked. Their faces instantly turned pale and gloomy.
I looked at them all and then said in an even voice.
"Don't worry, you all have your own sins too, so I will also kill you," I said, causing them all to fall into despair.
"N-No! P-Please spare me!!"
"I-I am a famous merchant in the capital! If you want money or anything! I will grant it! So please, please spare me!"
"I'll do anything for you! So please don't kill me!"
At that moment, they all began begging for mercy and pitifully for their own lives, but had absolutely no intention of listening to them.
I turned towards Ophen again, and I took out something from my [Inventory].
"I can't believe I'm going to use this."
it was a pain-inducing [Debuff Powder], which could increase your pain many times over.
I scooped up a few grams of the powder wearing gloves and was careful not to inhale it. Then, by force I immediately sprinkled the powder right in the injured man's eyes.
"Hrrggh!!"
He groaned, but I didn't care.
After he received the powder right into his iron-pierced eye, the pain slowly started to increase. At first he was confused by what was going on, but in the next second, the man's eyes started to turn red and blood was endlessly pouring out.
"AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHH—!!! WHAT'S THIS?! WHAT'S THIS?! HOT!! HOT!! SICK!! SICK!!"
Ophen screamed loudly, he screamed and screamed. I'm sure he felt the most terrible and unbearable pain.
—So what?
It is still not enough for all that has been done. This was still not enough to repay all the Elves he had killed.
I will never let him die before he gets what he deserves. Not only him, I will also make all the trash that are here receive the suffering they deserve.
I won't let them run away.
"Okay, let's move on to the next game. Don't worry, isn't this room soundproof? You are free to scream all you want. I will also order Estella and my new crew not to let anyone enter this room, so we can play to our heart's content," I said while pulling my sword from him. sarong.
Seeing that, they all fell silent with dark faces and started to squirm to try to escape from Estella's shadow.
"N-No!! I don't want to die!! Please, anyone! Help me!!"
"I will give you money!! How much do you want?! 1000 gold coins! 5000 gold coins! I'll give you whatever you want! That's why please don't kill me!!"
"M-Me too! I'll give you everything I've got! I'll do anything for you! So please forgive me!"
They try to be pitiful once again.
What an idiot, did they seriously think that I would forgive them with just that?
"Sigh..." I sighed tiredly. Then, I said. "Estella, let them go." I said, and without saying anything, Estella fully let them all go.
It was then, once they regained their freedom. Without thinking, they immediately ran away from me.
Well, I already suspected this.
"Estella, don't let them out of this room," I begged again.
Instantly, the shadow under my feet started to squirm and formed a wall that blocked the exit.
Now they can't escape.
Even as they tried to get close to the shadow, a black thorn stuck out from the shadow's wall and viciously stabbed into their leg.
"Estella, don't interfere, they are mine."
But, I warned Estella not to do it again.
That's right, they are mine.
Therefore, it is my responsibility to kill them with my own hands.
I won't let anyone else do it.
This is a sin I must bear alone.
