The cool air stung her skin.
　Michelle woke up at the feel of the raw, warm exhalation caressing her cheek.
　Slowly, she opened her eyes and saw a man's face, flaccid with fat, filling her vision.

'...... Hee.'
Hey, Michelle.

　As she tried to sit up, Michelle realized that her hands and feet were bound.　
　Not only that, but her clothes had been stripped off, leaving her in only her underwear.
　She couldn't even control her throbbing, aching head.

　I looked around in horror and saw that I was in that large laboratory-like area where I had first seen Sheena.
　That piggish man is lying on the floor, watching Michelle on all fours as she lies on the floor.
　With every breath the man took, a nauseating fishy smell poked Michelle's nose.

'Daddy, mommy!　Michelle, I think you're awake!
Yeah, right. Dartis, good for you.
I brought you here for Dar, so you can do what you want.

　George and Lily were also in the room.
　They were doing something around a chair-like apparatus set up in the back of the room.

(That, is ......)

　Next to the two of them, I saw an ash-haired young man standing sullenly next to them.
　He has a similar appearance ...... but that's not Amatsu.
　There's no mistaking it, that beastly-eyed young man is Olga.

　If Olga is here, then what happened to Amatsu who was fighting him?

''Oh, your brother, what happened to ......!''

　Michelle shouted as she lay down to face Lily and the others.
　At the loudness of his voice, Dartis rolled his eyes and said, "Hmm? He tilted his head.

Your brother ......?　Oh, you mean that bastard.
Of course I got rid of that thing.
Bullshit. ......

　I can't believe it. I don't want to believe it.

I'm not lying. I really messed it up afterwards. I wish you could have seen the sight of that f*cking mess. b*tc*.
You can go to ......

　As if my throat was stuck, I couldn't get the words out.
　He's dead. The brother who fought so hard to escape himself.
　Tears welled up and Michelle shuddered as her body shook.

'Brother, Mr. ......'
That bastard died in vain. I had to crawl into a corner to stop me from getting out of here. It's no use if you can't get away with it, though!
...... ah. Aaaaaaaaah!

　Burying her face in the floor, Michelle let out a sob.
　Because of her own failure, she had wasted Amatsu's efforts.
　Even though Amatsu continued to fight to get Michelle out of there, even though she was in tatters.

'Mmmm, oh, you're so cute, crying Michelle!

　Dartis's huge body is laying on top of Michelle.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

'Daddy, mommy. Hurry up and do that one!　I want Michelle to see it!
'You, darling, little darling is waiting for you. Do it quickly, please.
'Oh, I'll do it now. ...... Olga, it's time to replenish your magic.
You're right. I need to build up my strength to defeat the Demon King. ...... It's humiliating to be consumed by that scum.

　A number of cords were connected to Olga's body.
　At the end of the cords, there was that chair-shaped device.

Look, Michelle!　Look closely!
......

　Forcing a tug on her hair, Dartis makes Michelle look up.
　Out of the corner of my eye is that chair.
　On it is a girl.

'Sheena ......'
Yeah, I know. I thought you and Sheena were good friends.　Now I'm going to show you how she can be turned into a crunchy mummy!
Oh, ......

　Sheena was also in her underwear, strapped to a chair.
　Her body was emaciated and her eyes were devoid of life.
　The ears on her head were drooping, and the moisture had been lost from her glossy, matching skin and lips.

'Hah ...... hah ......!　Michelle, you look awesome!'

　The crotch seat puffs out wide and Dartis snorts.
　As it was, he began to press it against Michelle's thighs, zuri-zuri.

'From now on!　Huh, that girl!　The magic is going to be sucked out of her and she's going to die. Phew, phew.
Stop. ......
'Haha, duh. I'm tired of that girl and I'm going to suck it up and kill her!　Michelle is here instead of Sheena, you know. Phew, phew.

　Amatsu has been killed and Sheena is about to be killed right in front of him.
　He can't help himself.
　I'm going to be killed at my mercy.

(I can't change that anymore, but ......!)

......!

　At the very least, Michelle bit into Dartis' fingers, which were stroking her face.
　I sunk my teeth into that ugly flesh.

''Ah!　Ouch, ouch, ouch!
''......!　!

　Even though she was punched in the face, Michelle doesn't leave.
　Dartis' blood spills out in rags.

Dah-chan!
You're the one!

　George's rushing kick digs into Michelle's abdomen and blows her diminutive frame away.
　The disgusting feeling of breaking bones hits Michelle.
　The taste of blood spread in her mouth, as if her internal organs had been injured by that beat.

''Ahhhh!　Daddy!　Mommy!　It hurts!
'Dartis!　Are you okay?

　Screaming, Dartis slumped on the ground.
　He cried out like a pig in a wild voice, hitting George and Lily as they rushed over to him.

'Aaaaah!　Ouch, ouch, ouch!　I'm going to die, I'm going to die!
'I'll fix you up now!

　George held her down, and Lily quickly applied a healing spell to heal the wound on her finger.

You, Michelle!
'How dare you, Dar!'

　Huffing and puffing, Michelle said.

'Suck it up and try .......'

　At that moment, Dartis exclaimed, the flesh of his face buzzing and shaking.

'I won't toy with anyone who hurts me!　Kill me!　Dad!　Kill him now!

　There was no reason to let the being who hurt his beloved son live.
　George grabs Michelle by the hair and drags her to the chair.

'You and Sheena are going to suck out all the magic and kill you!　You're being punished for hurting my son!
'U......'

　As he slammed down, he was forced to sit in a chair.
　George chanted something, and a restraint appeared from the chair, binding Michelle to it.
　He will now be killed, like the man I saw in the room before, by being sucked out of his magic.

'Why ......'
Huh?
Why are you doing this to ......? George and his friends taught me how to do this before.

　Michelle asks as she sits slumped in her chair.

'Humans and subhumans both have their good points ....... I was happy .......

　At Michelle's words, George and Lily looked at each other and nodded, "You're right.

Yeah, humans and subhumans are both great.
Yeah, that's right.

　Like drooling.
Like gravy dripping from a round, fat pork steak.
With a lust-drenched look on their faces, they said.

'--both of them make good test material.

　Ah, Michelle realized.
　The two of them had opened the orphanage to collect materials for their experiments.
　She had lied to them about being kind to the children.

'Besides, if the experiment was successful, there would be money to be made. When Olga defeats the Demon King, she'll have all the money and honor she needs.

'The nauseating demon race will be destroyed and we can live happily ever after. Oh, humans and subhumans are wonderful beings who make us happy in equal measure.

　Stroking her own cheek, Lily said with an enraptured expression.

You can use the extracted magic to stay young like this. Otherwise, why would I bring filthy orphans like you guys?

　Nasty.
　This is something that she would never have said if she had been in contact with the orphanage before.　
　Michelle was astonished that it was all an act and that that's how they thought of themselves on the inside.

'That's why we're taking in creepy sub-humans like Sheena. They're cheaper to take in than human children, and no one cares if they're gone.

"It would be a shame to spend less time with Dartis," ...... Master Mert said. 'Never forget to be grateful.'

That's why we take time out of our day to provide you with food, clothing and shelter.

　What the hell is Melt-sama, Michelle felt like throwing up.
　If it was as the god Melt had taught her, he would never forgive the two of them for what they had done.
　But the two of them had no doubt in their minds that they were totally right.

If it weren't for us, you orphans would have died in the wild anyway. We gave you a home to live in for a while, and you should be grateful to us for that.

Yes. And you should be happy to cry because I'm going to put a piece of crap like you to good use to save the world.

　Michelle thought as she watched the two of them talk at length.
　It's inexplicably ugly, he thought.

　Why do these people have to destroy us?
　Why did they have to kill his brother?

"Dad!　Mom!　Hurry up!
Oh, I'm sorry, sweetheart. Ha, that's what I'm talking about. I'm gonna squeeze you to death right now.

　They broke off the conversation when Dartis rushed him.
　He laughs ugly and starts to activate the chair mechanism.

''Ha!　I'll make up for all the magic that was drained out of me by that piece of work with you. I wonder what that guy would have thought if he knew that.
......
'Well, I'm already dead, so I can't even know!

　Olga, who is at the end of the cord, laughs at Michelle.

"It's a pain in the ass to have your magic sucked out of you!　This is what happens when you bite me. Bark!

　Dartis laughs, laughing.

Hmph. Come on, you're dead.
Goodbye. From now on, I'm going to make sure there are no more people like you coming in here.

　And so the chair is activated.
　In less than a few more seconds, Michelle and Sheena would be sucked out of their magic and die.
　Amatsu's fight will have no meaning, and Amatsu's death will have no value whatsoever.

(I don't want to do that ....... ......

　Michelle strongly denied it, in her pain-fuzzy consciousness.

'......ke,'

　There is no one to reach.
　No one is going to come to help.
　It's like I know that.

Help me ......!

　Michelle exclaimed at the end, squeezing out.

　
'---- ah (...)'


　--there was an answer to that cry.

　There was a hum.
　Something flew in and severed the cord that connected the chair to Olga.
　A beeping electric current gushed from a section of the cord.

Wha...... what!

　A dimly lit corner of a large room.
　As the darkness melts away, two men and women emerge from there.

　A girl with silver hair and gold eyes and a boy with uniform black hair and eyes.
　Neither of them were familiar to Michelle.

'...... brother, Mr. ......?'

　But looking at the black boy, Michelle felt that for some reason he looked like Amatsu.

''Who are you people!''

　The black boy scowls at George, who yells at him, as if he is looking at a terrible, ugly thing.
　Then he turned his attention to Michelle.

...... are you Michelle?

　Seeing Michelle give a small nod, the black boy said.


“--just wait and see. I'll get you out of there, right away.


You're not going to be able to do that.

'Elfi, I'm ----'

　On the night of the day I went around the Holy City with Elfi.
　I had an answer.

"If those guys were truly converted, I would give up ...... revenge.

　There is hatred.
　There's also the inexplicable desire to kill.
　But killing two reformed men would have destroyed everything I once wanted to protect.
　And I don't want to do that.
　I don't want to ruin the smiles of my children.

"...... Mm-hmm, okay. Well, I'll just get on with it. You're going to check it out, right?

　Elfie said, without offering any particular opinion.

'Yeah. At midnight we'll go to that orphanage.

　And so we left the Holy City and headed back to the orphanage.
　The forest surrounding the orphanage has a large number of earth giants (golems) and surveillance magic set up in it.
　"We broke through it with concealment and magical skill usurpation (spell divour) and proceeded cautiously through the forest.

----

　Just before he stepped inside the orphanage.
　On the way there, I felt a wave of magical power that seemed to run through the entire forest.
　First of all, he stopped entering the orphanage and headed towards the source of that magical power.

''......!''
''Is this ...... Amatsu?''

　That's where I met the old me.
　No ...... not exactly.
　It's a battle homunculus that was modeled after the heroic Amatsu.

　The homunculus was dying and said to me: "Save the children.
　The homunculus said to me, 'Save the children.

　At first I thought it was a trap, but the homunculus was sincere.
　But the homunculus was sincere.
　But the homunculus was sincere, and he asked me to help.

　'What are you going to do?' asked Elfie with his eyes.
　I didn't need to be asked, but my mind was made up.

'--oh, I'll take care of it.'

　Then we broke into the orphanage.
　The children were asleep in their rooms upstairs, and there was no sign of anything being done to them.
　There didn't seem to be any danger.

'When it comes to ......,'
There's nothing else in that sealed room.

　I opened the carefully closed door and stepped into the basement.
　I proceeded incessantly towards the sound, and then--

"--both of them make good test material.

　I was going to be disappointed again.
　I was reminded that smiles were nowhere to be found in the beginning.

...... Really, I wonder how many times you guys have to let me down.
'Anta ...... was in the orphanage yesterday ......!'

　A high-pitched voice reaffirms the people in the room, ignoring Lily's ranting.
　George, Lily, and possibly their son, Dartis.
　The two girls, trapped in their chairs.

----!

　The other homunculus, Olga, who was there a moment ago, had disappeared.

Hahaha!

　I'm not going to be able to get to know you.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about this.
　Before he could catch it with his jade taiji, Elfi stepped forward.

''Sassen......!''

　With an arm clad in magic power, he catches Olga's flash.
　The magic and magic power clashed violently, and sparks flew.

''Olaaaa!''

　Olga's blow sent Elfi up into the air.
　Using wind magic, Olga followed suit.
　It was as if she was kicking through empty space, toying with Elfie.

'...... Don't lick it, doll.

　--"Demon's Leg: The Tempest of Wind"

　Elfi's feet are covered with magical power.
　Immediately after, Elfi, like Olga, kicked the empty space and moved through the air.
　"The magic arms and blades crossed repeatedly, violently sparking--"

Chii: ......

　Olga, defeated, was knocked to the ground.
　Immediately before, the wind killed her momentum and she spun around like a lightworker to land on the ground.
　Next, Elfie came down to the ground as well.

"You're pretty strong. You're a lot stronger than that piece of shit.

　The two clashed with each other, but both of them still have quite a bit of strength left in them.
　I see, that homunculus is apparently quite strong.

''...... guy over there, what are you?　You're getting annoying when I look at you.

　Olga gives me a sharp look.

'It's nothing ...... just an avenger.
Oh?
But, George and Lily. From the looks of it, I can't believe you're working on a homunculus for the Amatsu Heroes.

　The ghost of the hero Amatsu was said to have been seen around this forest.
　As far as I can tell, the homunculus must have escaped, and someone must have witnessed it.
　...... Crap.

'I never thought they would use the cells I donated to them for this.
What do you mean, you can't go to ......?
Don't you know what ...... is?　Then I'll tell you everything you need to know.

　I glared at them, and George and Lily shuddered as they bullied.

'What are you doing, Olga!　Get these guys out of here!
'Dah, come here, darling. Your mom and dad will protect you.
Yes.

　Those three are frozen near the chair where the two girls are sitting.
　'I guess we'll have to get rid of Olga first if we're going to help them.

'Tell you what?　You're dying right now, and what do you have to teach me?
Don't worry. I don't have to tell you anything.
...... You're as irritating as that piece of work.

　With a chirp, Olga releases her magic.
　She has gray hair and that long stature.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

Are you referring to the homunculus that collapsed in the forest by being a bastard?

　With a twitch, I saw the girl sitting on the chair react.
　I'm pretty sure it was Michelle.
　The girl that homunculus tried to protect with its life.

'Oh, you saw it? You did see it. She was a homunculus, created for the same purpose as me. But she's just a weak, lame, defective piece of shit.
............
I'm the perfect recreation of the "Heroic Amatsu"! How I could be so different from him, when we're both based on the same person is beyond me.

　...... Yeah, I think so too.

　Olga turns her tongue around fluently, as if in euphoria.

'There's no way a sweetheart like that could be an Amatsu.
............
I told you he was a bad, bad knockoff...
Forget it. Shut the f*ck up, a**h*le.

　Huh?　Olga froze.
　Behind her, Elfie gave a small laugh.

''Huh. If you say it's a copy of Amatsu, then this doll must be inexplicably defective.
...... Oh. You're the one who's a failure and a fake, Olga.

　At least.
　That homunculus' willingness to help was real.
　Unlike the fake one I'm seeing in front of me.

"You think I'm a fake ......?

　With a pull, Olga's body shook.
　She stepped on the ground with a dungeon, bared her canine teeth and started screaming.

''I'll kill you. You bastard!''

　Olga's figure was scratched off.
　She kicked the wall while using wind-attribute magic and leapt like a spring in the room.

''Iori. Is it safe to leave that doll to you?
''Yeah. I'll take care of it right away.

　During the conversation, Olga is still storming around the room.

'You've got to be kidding me. I'm a fake?　You're not. I'll show you what a real blow is, now.
............
You guys came to rescue the kid, didn't you?　We're making a decision now. I'm gonna kill you and I'm gonna whip the little bastard into a million pieces. Just like that half-breed.

　I don't like the idea of having the same face I had at one time.
　I didn't feel anything with that homunculus, but not this one.
　I can't help it, I'm so frustrated.

"Hey!

　Olga passes right beside me.
　The shock wave caused the ground to gouge out a great deal, sending debris flying up into the wind.

Hahahahahahahaha!　What the hell, man!　You can't even follow it with your eyes!　You can't even follow them with your eyes!　I'm a hero!

　Olga continues to move fast, laughing at him.

"It's too late to regret it, bastard. "You're too late to regret it, bastard," he says, "but I'm going to mess you up now, and I'm going to mess you up too...
'Then come on. Fake it.
...... Oh, die.

　The scaffolding is crushed and Olga rushes in.
　The momentum is as if a small typhoon has taken shape.

''Kill it, Olga!''

　Olga approaches in front of me.
　The "proof of bravery" in my right hand tingles.
　I had a premonition that I was going to be able to use it. I'm going to be able to use it now.

　With a mocking smile, Olga swung her sword down to strike a blow.

...The Raze.

　I caught it with my magically enhanced arm.
　A shockwave rushed through the entire room.
　The experimental equipment rattled and fell to the ground.

''Where's ......?''

　Olga, whose attack was stopped with one hand, was stunned with her previous smile pasted on her face.

''It's over?''
''Nah, ......!''

　Olga jumped backwards in a big way.
　Then, again, she reinforced herself with the wind and plunged in.
　With her arms, she flicked lightly.

'Oh ......'

　Countless slashes came flying in.
　The jade taiji severed all of them.

''Ooh, ......!''

　Wind, fire, water, earth, and all the attributes of magic flew in from all directions.
　All of them were obliterated by magic.

''Ooohhhhhh!''

　With a desperate roar, Olga attacked in succession.
　I'm not going to be the only one who can do that.

''What!　What the hell is that, you!

　Olga's face distorts in frustration.
　Without a care in the world, he hit me with all his might in succession.
　Still, I won't even take a single blow.

'Impossible!　Why can't ......!　Why isn't my attack working?
'............'
I'm the greatest!　I'm a hero!　This isn't right!

　He snickered at that word.

"You're weak, you're a failure.
''Ah...... ah...... ah!''

　Like a madman, Olga slashes at me.
　I play, taunt, and pass it off.
　I politely nullified all of those attacks.

"This is how heroic you are?　I don't want to be a hero for this. You can't even beat Dionis with this level of skill.
Don't lie to me!　I'm the best!　I'm the greatest of all men!　Not even a demon king can stand up to me!
Against Ortegia, the first blow will be your last.
"Uhhhhhh!

　He was finally able to recognize the difference in strength.
　Olga exclaimed with tears in her eyes.

''--Would it be time to end it?
Hee......
'You've been saying all this nonsense about heroes for a while now.

　The jade sword is covered with magical power.
　It is the Demon Sword.

"I'm going to give you what you call a hero's strike.
Well, no way. ......

　With a pale face, Olga backs away.

''Oh, you ...... original ......!
'Your answer,'
I don't want to ...... hate, I don't want to die!

　Olga loses the will to fight and tries to get away.

That's awkward. ...... That guy was much more graceful.
No!　I'm, I'm real ----

　A slash with magical power.

''So long, fake.''

　I snapped the sword that was held up for protection and broke through the magic of hardening.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.

'Pa----'

　With an expression distorted by fear, Olga disappeared without a trace.
　Not even a single piece of flesh remained, completely.
　The room fell silent.

''Ha......?　Hmm?
What?　What's going on?

　There was a pause of a few seconds, and then George and Lily began to get distraught.
　They scampered around the room, looking for Olga.

'Olga!　What are you doing?!
'Come out quickly!　Kill those people as fast as you can!

　No answer.
　I guess that's why she finally realized that Olga was dead.
　She began to shake and shake.

'What, that was ....... Is that mind-magic ......?
'Yeah, more importantly, what's the magic pattern now. That's not true.
What, Dad?　Mom?　What's up ......?

　George and Lily seemed to realize what was going on.
　Only Dartis just looks at his parents and tilts his head in the air.

Didn't I tell you I was going to tell you right away?
You can't tell me that you......
Yeah, it's been a while.

　Their faces are blue.
　They must have been touched by the magic of psychic magic and realized what I was.

'George Ignace Elvanahit and Lily Famina Ambram. ...... Oh, I thought you were married now and Lily's changed her last name?
It's not true ......, it can't be!
Hey, Mom, Dad, Mom, what's going on?
Shut the f*ck up!

　George is shouting at his son, who he adores so much, as if his mind is no longer at ease.
　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're talking about.

'Are you Amatsu ......?
'Yeah, I am. I've come back to get revenge on you guys.

　Then he took a step forward.

'Hee......'
'Don't come!'

　With George's shout, countless earth giants (golems) emerged from the ground.
　They approached with a thudding sound.

''Get out of the way!''

　And then, it disappeared in an instant due to Elfi's magical eye.
　With a para-para, the wreckage fell to the ground.

''My earthen giant (golem) is such an easy, ......
Let's go to .......

　He kicks the ground and runs into George and the others.

"No, don't come here!
You, you ghosts!

　Lily's magic flows into the ground and her feet become uneven.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

　It made the foothold worse, blocking the movement and attacking there.
　As expected from belonging to the Cathedral Knights, they are used to fighting.

''Na......!''

　I pour magic power into my shoes and start running, ignoring the foothold.
　The effect of the shoes does not slow down our movements in the slightest.

　The blue-blue shoes.
　It's a magic item that allows you to ignore all the bad scaffolding and move around.
　It's the first time I've used it, but this effect is just like the real thing.

　George and Lily are shooting all kinds of magic at me.
　I slashed them all from the front.
　The rushing earth giants (golems) have no meaning in front of Elfi's magical eye.

''Hii......!''

　They must have realized that they couldn't win.
　Screaming, the two of them retreat back, hiding Dartis behind their backs.
　Looking at the way he's sheltering this situation, his love for his children seems genuine.

　If only it were .......
　Why can't you think about the other kids, even for a minute?

　I look at the little girl sitting in the chair with my attention focused on George and the others.
　They are both unconscious.
　It's probably because of the aftermath of the fight with Olga.

...... We're all good now.

　He swung his sword and destroyed the restraints that bound their bodies together.
　When they were free, he held them in his arms.
　He took them to a safe place and placed them on the ground.

　The girl, Michelle, was breathing funny.
　Apparently her ribs are broken and her internal organs are damaged.

　The other girl of the cat race (warcat) was even worse.
　Her magic power was being drained out of her body.
　If left untreated, she would become debilitated and die.

''I won't let her die.

　These two and the other kids.
　I'll help them and the other kids.
　...... I promised that guy I'd help him.

...... This is terrible.
Give me the potion. I'll take care of these two.

　He took a potion from the pouch and handed it to Elfi.

'Hey, Iori.'

　As I poured the potion into their mouths, Elfie asked without looking at me.

'What is it at ......?
Does that put your mind at ease?　That they're bad guys and that we can get our revenge without a care in the world.
.....................

　He turned around and threw the knife.
　The knife pierced Dartis' thigh as he was trying to escape.

''Gyaaahhhh!
Dar-chan!
''You, how dare you ......!''

　Dartis rolled over, screaming like a pig.
　He threw a knife at the two people who rushed to him as well.

''Guhhhhh!''
Hi, hi. ......
Mom!　Hurry up and fix this!　I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!

　The deafening screams of the three of them echo through the room.
　I approach them step by step.

Wait for me ......!　Help me!

　George says with a look of anguish on his face.
　I ignore him and take a step forward.

"Merwin. Bertoga. Olivia. Dionis. These names mean anything to you?
Well, it's .......
Yeah. The names of all the people I killed before I got here.

　The three of them shake their bodies with a clatter.

'George, Lily. You guys betrayed me.
'No, no ......!　We are that ......
I get all my information about you from Liuzas and the others. I also know that you tried to kill me for money.
Yeah, that's ......

　He tries to say something with a pale face, but he can't even come up with an excuse.

'...... Still, I'm...'
...............
'If you guys were reformed and you were running an ...... orphanage for children, I was going to back off and not take revenge.

　At those words, their complexion changed.
　As if they found a way to live, their eyes changed color.

'Wow, we really did open an orphanage for children!
Yes!　You guys saw what happened up there yesterday: ......!　
"Oh, Amatsu-dono: ......!　Please, help me ......!
''Please!''

　The two of them say, as if clinging to each other.

'If you're ......, then put the child you killed back together.
What ......?
Smile everyone and get them here now.
Yeah, that's ......

　I can't do that.
　I know you can't.
　It's obvious.

"Elfie. You've just been told. You asked me if I was relieved.
............
...... It's not. I'm disappointed. I knew I wasn't good enough to see it.

　For a little while, I wanted to believe in myself.

　But I was wrong.
　People don't change that easily.
　Someone who is capable of reformation doesn't start out by putting others down and ridiculing them for their own gain.

'I was about to compromise on my revenge. Thanks to you guys, I've come to realize that.
Hi......
