I Can Finally Kill You Soon!

*Kei Machida's POV*

//July 22, 2040//Sunday//

*SLAM*

"DAMN IT!!!"

Hyakuzawa slammed his fist on the table, and his face was full of rage.

"If I knew back then… If I knew that bastard is the duke who serves the leader behind that incident that killed my parents… I SHOULD'VE KILLED HIM BACK THEN!!!"

"You're lucky that you didn't know back then, Hyakuzawa."

"What do you mean, Machida?!"

"If you tried to kill the duke, you will be decapitated before you even realize it."

"T-That's…"

Back then, no one stood a chance against the four nobles. Even the resistance who tried fighting back all died in vain when they were facing off against a noble.

Because a noble's strength under the leader's command is as strong as a thousand men.

A lot was happening here when we realized that Ichi was the man behind the incident 11 years ago.

Some are afraid, some are angry, and some are anxious.

But for some reason, as for what I am feeling right now…

I am excited.

"This is a huge progress for us, Kei."

Despite what Kiyoko just learned, she wiped off her face, and stood up.

"W-What are you talking about, Big Sis? We don't stand a chance against someone who brought Kanagawa into ruins."

"We don't even stand a chance against Ichi. Thinking about it, Ichi did kill a lot of people instantly just like what happened in the Ruination of Kanagawa back then. It's all connected!" Ichika fearfully said.

"But we don't have a choice, do we? In the end, we still need to fight against Ichi for us to leave this place."

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, SASAKI?! THAT DUKE WHO WAS SERVING UNDER ICHI IS A MONSTER!!!"

"Don't worry about that, Ichika. We have two monsters on our side as well. Isn't that right you two?"

Kiyoko looked at me, and Hyakuzawa.

"Well, Hyakuzawa is really strong, but no offense to you, Machida, but you're hella weak, dude." Raku said.

This guy…

"I was caught off guard by Hyakuzawa at that time."

"But still…"

"Don't underestimate me, Raku Nakamura."

These people still don't know my capabilities, do they? They only know how smart I am, but physically? I haven't proven myself to them yet.

"How many criminals do you think have I killed in the past?"

"Twenty?"

"That's too few, Raku! Hmm… Maybe about a hundred?" Ichika guessed.

"I have killed more than a thousand criminals since I started pursuing the leader behind the Ruination of Kanagawa."

They were surprised when I stated the fact that I have killed a lot of people more than they can imagine.

"They are not just some measly criminals you can find in some alley. In fact, I have killed some people who were called the Knights back then who serve their leader on that incident."

I could still remember back then how bloody my hands were, how hot they felt.

Even if I have changed my perspective on these people.

Killing criminals that have wronged this world. Those scums who are not needed by this society that we live in…

Are still fun to kill.

"Just like what Kiyoko said, we have a fighting chance. There are still a lot of things that we haven't found yet that can be an advantage for us."

I clenched my fists, and looked at everyone.

"The battle between us, and Ichi who is the leader of the Ruination of Kanagawa…"

Finally, the person who I have been looking for, that bastard who I am seeking for revenge…

"Has just begun."

I can finally kill you soon!

"So, are you guys with me? Can we still fight against someone like him?"

"I-I mean we even don't have any guarantee that Ichi will let us live when we kill each other, right? So we don't have a choice at all."

"I agree with what Raku just said. If we don't do anything at all then we are just waiting for our deaths." Hyakuzawa said.

"I-I also agree with what Big Sis just said to us. We have the strength to fight back against him. O-Of course I don't know how to fight, but I'll help you treat your wounds if you have any…"

"And I'll also help you guys by cooking good food for everyone!"

"AAAAAH!!! FINE!!! IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVE A CHOICE AS WELL!!! I'LL DO MY BEST TO HELP ALL OF YOU!!!" Ichika yelled.

"The fact that we are just in the outside world, and it isn't impossible to find us, then hopefully the people will find out where we are. Help might be on the way before we know it. Sigh… Well, you have our answers, Machida."

Kiyoko grabbed my hand, and she gave me a smile full of determination.

"Let's get out of here, and give Ichi what he deserves, Kei."

I looked at everyone. Even if they were afraid to go against someone they know who they were dealing with. They are giving me the assurance that they are willing to do anything just so we can get free in this place.

"Thank you, everyone."

Just you wait, Ichi. After what you did to countless of people, after how many lives of the victims you have ruined. After you killed my family back then…

I will fucking kill you with my own hands.
