Chapter 5 - The Beginning of the Revenge ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ (Part 3)

Sakakibara whose tendons in all limbs severed, he was squirming on the ground as if a caterpillar……and all he could do is to struggle.

Looking at the side at Sakakibara lying on his side, Junpei observed the ancient three that he finished preparing.

「Well, this much is good……huh」

The thing that is coiled around the ancient tree, they were chains that he took from the cannibal village.

Just as expected of chains intended to restraint adventurers in the Interstice Labyrinth, it was not as tough as orihalcon, but its strength is pretty mcuh.

Even if it’s an S-Rank adventurer, it would be difficult for them to break through it with severed tendons.

Junpei walked towards Sakakibara who is lying on his side, roughly grabbed his hair, and dragged him towards the tree.

*BuchiBuchi*, an awful feeling could be felt on his hand. It looks like, some of the hair was pulled out together with his scalp.

「Here you go」

After making Sakakibara sit under the tree, he chains him up to the ancient tree.

“He〜……”,while doing that, Junpei let out a sigh of interest.

「Even without killing……I can steal the skill just by disabling a person huh」

Just as he said, it looks like light particles overflowed from Sakakibara’s head, then finally becoming one card.

ーー【Acceleration】

At the same time of holding that skill card, Junpei invoked, making it enter his own skill slot.

「Well, I also used Skill Hunt quite a lot, so……the proficiency increased, making it easier to use」

Next, Junpei took out a few bottles from his item box.

He aligned tens of them on the ground, and lastly, “Un”, he nodded after taking out a sprayer.

And just like that, after opening one bottle, he dropped all of its liquid contents on top of Sakakibara’s head.

「Oi……Junpei……? You……? What are you putting?」

「n? It’s vinegar」

To Junpei who answers with a casual voice, and the contents of those wordsーー”Don’t tell me……”, Sakakibara thought while having shivers through his spine.

「And, this one’s……red wine」

The red liquid falls down on top of Sakakibara’s head.

With the change of doubt to conviction, Sakakibara started to shed tears.

「Hey……stop it please? Please……just that……please don’t do that……please……?」

Hearing his voice, Junpei made a sad expression, and with hands together, Junpei bowed to Sakakibara.

「My bad……I really wanted to use honey, but, I didn’t have some……instead, I’ll use sugar water alright? What, don’t worry, I’ll increase its concentration so there wouldn’t be any problems」

「I-I’m fine with a diluted one……no, please make it diluted, please……. N-No, please……please don’t do it……please stop……please forgive me……please……」

Junpei ignored Sakakibara.

And just like that, opening numerous numbers of bottles, he poured all of it on Sakakibara.

「And so……after that……」

He put red wine, vinegar, and sugar water in the sprayer and mixed them.

「Hey, Sakakibara-kun bro……open your mouth?」

However, Sakakibara resists not uttering a word.

Towards that, Junpei took out the Cerberus’ Canine, and cuts his shoulder open.

「I’m telling you to fucking open it!」

While enduring the pain, Sakakibara opened his mouth while crying, and after he had done that, Junpei sprayed towards his mouth, not leaving a spot.

And furthermore, he puts the bottle of wine inside Sakakibara’s mouth, and made him drink at once.

And after that, vinegar, and after that, sugar water.

「……please……I’m begging you……I was mistaken……so……please……just……please don’t do this」

Junpei rolled his eyes and shrugged his shoulders.

「Even though you have done so much towards the elves up until now?」

「Demi-humans like elves, they’re different from us humans!」

「What’s different?」

「Our……our ranks where we are born! We humans defeated the elves in this world……and the hierarchy……」

Sakakibara’s words, Junpei stopped them with his hand.

「And so……following the class hierarchy in the high school……you bullied me?」

「……………that is……」

「That’s why, I’m going to make you full of insects. It’s what you call karma. Wine, vinegar, sugar water……all of them are favorites of bugs. And then, there’s also parasites here similar to a centipede right?」

There are still more than ten bottles remaining.

He spread all of those liquids in the surroundings.

「Hey, stop it……」

Junpei ignored him, and splashes out the liquids on the surroundings on next to the other.

One by one, he emptied the bottles.

「Please……I’m begging you……stop it……please……please……」

“Begging is useless……”, did he thought of that, by changing his words and tone, he did a different approach to the overlord of this place, Junpei.

「……why……why are you doing this……? We……we were classmates right?」

Junpei whispered as if to spit out.

「That……fucking ask it to Kido?」

「Kido……Kido-san……?」

“Yeah”, nodding, Junpei said.

「Compared to a cloth soaked in a cocktail of milk, garbage, and tampon that’s taken from the girl’s toilet……isn’t vinegar, wine, and sugar water, incomparably hygienic?」

Hearing that, Sakakibara shuts up, and after a while, he started begging with tears.

「Forgive me…… t-that’s right……at that time……it……it was a joke……just a joke」

「……a joke? what is?」

「Even in the class……your treatment is like, a joking material right? And so……I couldn’t go against Kido-san at all……you know」

「……」

「That’s why……」

Junpei shook his head, and stopped Sakakibara with his hand.

However, Sakakibara didn’t stop, he continued to open his mouth.

「I’m telling you, it was just a joke. I was just helping, and……I didn’t think of hurting you for rea……AGYA!」

The Cerberus’ Canine was stabbed into his thigh.

「I see. I see now……you didn’t feel like hurting me actively, with light feelings……that’s right, you……you threw me into the labyrinth with 0% chance of surviving as a joke. Because of that, your sin would be lighter…… Only Kido……that’s right……you’re saying, only Kido is the bad one. I see, that is reasonable tooーーーーーーdid you think I’d say that you dumb fuck!」

He kicked Sakakibara’s face with full strength.

*Gago!*, a dull sound echoed in the surroundings.

And there, as if to think about it for a second time, Junpei nodded.

「Well, no, don’t worry, Sakakibara. You don’t need to be so serious right? After all, what I’m doing nowーーjust like you said, it’s just a joke you know」

「……a joke?」

「That’s why, you know? I’m just joking alright? However, just like you……if you actually died because of my joke, it doesn’t have anything to do with me. What, don’t worry, don’t hold back. We’re this close right…… it’s just like at that time……when you pushed me down to the labyrinth with 0% chance of survival as a joke」

He finally understood, that whatever happens, and whatever he does, Junpei would not forgive him.

Sakakibara gave in to despair, and started shouting.

「ーーーーーーーーーAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!! FUCKING PIG! DIE YOU PIG! YOU DIE!! DIE!! DIE!! DIE!! YOU FUCK! SHIT!! TRASH!!」

Ignoring Sakakibara who is shouting, Junpei threw the all of the empty bottles in the air, and shot it with his handgun.

*Parin*, *Parin*, *Parin*, *Parin*.

A bittersweet smell that is enough to attract insects has filled the air.

While having a stiff face to that smell, “ByeBye”, Junpei waved his hand towards Sakakibara.

「This is a piece of advice from me. Both of us, we’re just joking. That’s why……to the insects……beg, tell them to stop, it’s just a joke, alright? Be treated just like small bug……be covered with bugs……and just like a bug……die you bug trash」

As if to deal a finishing touch, Junpei poured all of the vinegar, sugar, and red wine on top of Sakakibara’s head.

And turning around, Junpei waved his hands to the back.

「Good for you right? Isn’t it a great spectacle? Having insects crawling out of the stomach……and you……having that scene happening in front of you at the end of your life……isn’t that happiness?」

And lastly, he finished by saying this.

「See you later, bug trash」

「ABUYABYABUBYUBYU……BYU……HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAーーーーーーーーーー!!」

He could hear a scream that does not seem to be coming from an intelligent organism, but Junpei would not answer to that.

After carrying the elf that was lying to her side, he started to leave that place jogging.

ーーI don’t want to make commotions, but……this time’s an exception. Legends of the dragons, or like having enmity from that great noble, or whatever……well, I’m lucky. I mean, if the situation wasn’t like that, I couldn’t have done it this fast……well, anyways, only the S-Rank adventurer dying by a mysterious death is conspicuous.

If soーー

Junpei whispered, like “YareYare”.

「I should just make it the doings of the dragons, elves or whatever……and kill everyone other than me」
