The Tower of Repentance

Amidst my and Esther's exclamations, a Tower too tall to be an ordinary building and too grand to be an ordinary place towered above us.

Affected by this sight, Esther opened her mouth.

"I once heard among the maids that the Tower of Repentance used to be a working Magic Tower. But after one of its students didn't sacrifice all of his classmates while summoning a Demonic Creature into this world, it was locked up and left as a symbol of mourning."

Without stopping my path forward, I nodded to Esther.

"Yes, it did happen in the past. Though now it's nothing more than a huge abandoned tower with a bunch of empty rooms."

Creee—aak! 

With an unpleasant creaking sound, the door barely opened. 

The Baron certainly has his own taste in choosing places to do his business. 

I immediately noticed 3 signs, each leading to a different passageway.

[Alchemy Hall], [Main Hall], and [Dormitory].

Each had long corridors behind them, so it was hard to know the right direction. 

"Esther, can you feel something?"

In such situations, trusting the assassin's keen senses was the best solution.

"Hmmm..."

My personal maid closed her eyes and after spending about a minute like that, replied.

"Dormitory."

"Just as I thought. Let's go."

Upon entering the place labeled [Dormitory], we walked through a hallway that soon turned into a spiral staircase upwards.

As I climbed step by step, I realized that Esther was right. Soon the echo of the empty tower began to carry distant conversations to us.

"...Hehehehe, if you wear that tank top, you'll look so much like a little boy, my angel~"

...And their content made goosebumps run across my skin and we quickened our step.

The bums had long since unsealed the rooms and stripped everything of value, so the walls were literally all that was left, everything that wasn't nailed down had been taken away. That made it easier to find, but... 

There must be more than 800 rooms here, right? 

That tower was freaking huge. 

Finally, when I was just about ready to curse, we were met with our first obstacle.

A man, apparently a patrolman, spotted us. 

"Who are you—"

Esther's dagger slashed his throat faster than his words came out of it.

"Fine, next."

The further up we went, the more rooms we passed, the more of them we came across. Of course, despite the number, they were average mercenaries at best, which wasn't a problem. 

Some were crushed by my fist, but most by Esther's hands.

"It's been a bumpy ride."

Eventually, when we reached about 2/3 of the height of the Tower of Repentance, we found the door from behind which the voices were coming from.

In front of it stood two bull-headed men with broadswords at their belts. The blood on my fists made them frown, but no more than that.

"Hey, you. Do you even know who's behind that door? Unless you want your whole family and their lives to go to the garbage dump, get out."

"Yes, scram. Our Master is eating his lunch right now."

As befitted their appearance, their tone was gruff.

"What~? Uhuhuhuhuhu, sorry, the gag in your mouth won't let me hear you~"

The voice behind the door sounded again.

"..."

"..."

"Esther."

"Yes, Young Master."

Boom!

The wooden door was easily kicked open, pathetically splintering into splinters. The interior of the room revealed itself to us.

"WHO IS THAT?!!!! You fucking worms, you can't even keep your eyes on one door–?!"

The Fat Baron jumped up from the bed, screaming as his face froze.

"Uh uh... M-Mr. Nilfheim...? Haha... W-what brings you to this d-dirty, filthy place...?"

"..."

His body trembled along with several of his chins. But it didn't last long.

"YOU! Worms, why aren't you on your knees yet?! Can't you see that the Lord is waiting?! Since your eyes are just for decoration, I'll feed them to the pigs!"

After bellowing at his subordinates and splattering them with drool, Baron rubbed his hands together again and looked at me meekly. 

"I apologize for these people, Mr. Nilfheim. It is entirely my fault that they lack proper manners. As punishment, I will instill etiquette into their bones so that they will not forget it for the rest of their lives."

My gaze ignored the Baron and looked around the room. It wasn't long before I found her.

Damn, lucky. So far, the Fat Baron hasn't touched her. 

Dressed in one of the boys' clothes, Lily lay peacefully on the bed, unconscious. 

"Oh, My Lord...! Don't dirty your eyes by looking at this filthy inferior creature! I'll finish him off right now...!" 

Phew, I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Baron. He smiled back at me. 

CRACKLE——! 

With that my fist landed on his fat nose with a satisfying crunch.

"Skriiiiiiiiiiii!"

Was it a coincidence? Even the sound of his screaming sounded like a pig's.

"M-young Lord, why...!"

I didn't believe he would repent, so I decided to skip the rest of the dialog and just go to the finale.

"Don't move, I don't want to miss."

My words were followed by another immediate blow. Then another, another, and another...

Even his face was thick, so beating him was a pleasure. His personality made it even more enjoyable.

"Whew."

Finally, when his face no longer resembled one, my irritation subsided a little. The Baron had been passed out for a couple minutes by then, slumped on the stone floor.

"Haa... I really hate this game." 

I wanted to kill him right here and now, but Baron was an indispensable pawn in my future plans. 

"Tsk."

Yes, it's for the future... Keeping him alive means bringing the [happy ending] closer, which is what I wished for.

...Of course, even despite my reasonable and logical attempts to convince myself, I still felt like shit.

"I really hate it."

Knowing it wouldn't help, I turned my attention to Lily on the bed and checked her condition. Her pulse and breathing were normal.

Scared a lot, but nothing more serious than that.

There were many toy tools lying around her, neatly laid out by the Baron, the purpose of which I didn't even want to think about.

I picked up the Dark Elf in the princess carrier and handed her to Esther. We were about to leave when....

"Hee hee hee hee.... W-where am I?" 

The Perverted Baron woke up. Despite his fourth-degree obesity, he was a hell of a survivor. 

I stopped in front of him, thinking.

"Hmm..."

I can't kill him now... But there's still something I can do here.

"Esther, cover the girl's ears."

"Of course, Young Master."

When it was done and Lily's ears were protected...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHH!"

The Baron's shrill, deafening scream swept through the Tower of Repentance. 

It didn't end with one scream, they continued one after another, only getting louder and more desperate, not stopping for a moment. 

You ask, what happened? 

I smiled contentedly. 

It's simple. After meeting my fist multiple times, his consciousness had weakened enough for [Mind Singularity] to easily interfere with it. 

"Young Master, what have you done to him?"

"Ah, it's no big deal. I just showed him the illusion of him being raped by the Gang of Gigachads in an endless loop with no way out."

"Oh..."

Esther, remembering well her first encounter with Gigachad, could only let out a short exclamation. 

It took her 5 days to get used to Gigachad and that was despite him being gentle with her. What about Baron...? 

Deep psychological trauma is assured. 

For my future plans, though, he doesn't necessarily have to have a healthy psyche. 

"Young Master, you are the Devil...but a Devil I respect."

"Thank you."

"Congratulations on your first Gang Bang by a group of hyper muscular men. I hope it left a good impression."

I turned to Baron, who had passed out with white foam from his mouth at a certain point. 

Wait, was that even foam...? 

"Never mind."

Shaking my head I decided to leave that personal question to Baron. 

Thud! Thud! Thud!

When I was ready to leave, Esther walked over to the Baron, too, and kicked him several times. Each of her kicks shook the air, and knowing where they were aimed, I could only smile. 

"Good job, Esther."

Isn't she beautiful? 

"I have only done what must be done, Young Master. To prevent such a man from having heirs would be the greatest good for the world."

Just look at this woman. Looks like she's finally gotten around to saving the world. 

I couldn't be more pleased.

"Okay, let's go." 

"What do we do with them?"

Esther pointed at the pale people at the entrance. The [Fat Baron's] minions were still staring at the floor, shaking with fear, unable to look up.

"Leave them alone. No need for unnecessary killing, especially since someone will have to wake up the Baron and give him some good news."

Your toy slave is stolen, your balls are broken. Gang-bang... you figure it out for yourself.

"Let's not mess up karma on some flies."

With that, we left the Tower of Repentance.
