161 treachery




"Well, ...... thank you for getting me here.

 When the man told her that, Chloe bounced once.
 Apparently, she's still having pangs of remorse.

 But that's exactly what it was.
 Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of making you a traitor.

 It would be a shame to be so easily retracted.
 When you think about it, this girl was a lucky break.

 She's not submissive, but in the end, she obeys us and doesn't fall back.
 It was the perfect thing to watch.

 But that's why there is some regret.
 Once the betrayal is complete, you will no longer be able to enjoy it.

 The only thing left to do is to throw them into the midst of the betrayed and enjoy their final reaction.
 I would have liked to have seen him struggle more: ...... Well, that's just a matter of opinion.

 I'll at least be able to see it through to the end and enjoy it.
 So the man said those words.

Then bring him back. Then bring the men you betrayed.

 I've already said that the brave man's actions were a diversion.

 But the man's farsightedness in seeing the brave man rampaging inside the stronghold must have been a scare tactic.
 The brave men must have expected the man to see that scene and to recognize it as a diversion.

 The presence of a diversion also means that there is another party in between to perform other actions.
 That detachment would be the Amazons held here, and their goal would be nothing more than to escape from here.
 If that is the case, he will no doubt try to escape quickly while he keeps the man's eyes on him with a diversion, and the only way to destroy his plan is to get to the exit ahead of him.

 And that's why the brave man appeared over there because he was expecting to be read that far: ...... The man had read that far.
 I'm not sure if "read" is a bit of a misnomer.
 It's a good thing that the man led them to act that way ...... or else they'd be understandable.

 You'll be able to find out the best way to get a good deal more about this.
 Furthermore, a corner of it leads to a hidden passage that leads directly to the outside ...... and was blown into them.

 This is of course a lie.
 The hidden passage leads to this place where the man is.

 That hidden room was planted when I built this base to have this happen.
 I didn't think we'd actually have a chance to use it, but it was worth it.

 You thought you could escape, but you are not in despair.
 Chagrin at having been betrayed by what you thought was your friend.
 Chagrin and grief at having betrayed a fellow human being, but not being understood by them.

 The thought of that sweet moment finally arrives, and the man's smile deepens ...... but soon his brow is furrowed quizzically as he thinks about it.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

Hm. ...... What's up? Do you have any regrets now? But it's too late. And you understand very well that there is no other way for you to survive, don't you?

 The fact that resistance is pointless and will only cause you pain has been thoroughly drilled into you on the first day you were brought here as a slave.
 And even if you were influenced by a brave man or others to resist again, it's pointless.

 I have a subordinate "contract" with Chloe.
 You can't take an action against a man's interest, regardless of his wishes.

 If you tried to take it, you would experience extreme pain throughout your body, and still die if you tried to resist.
 From the moment she showed her willingness to obey the man, this girl has no choice.

 However, if she hadn't obeyed, she would have killed him, so she didn't have the right to choose anything when she was captured by the man.

Come on, get him out of here. It's not that I don't like to be hurried, but I'm ready to enjoy your despair. What's the point of putting up some resistance here in the first place? It's going to be right there anyway--Hmm?

 The man who took his gaze off Chloe and turned his head to the door, his eyes narrowed as if he noticed something for the first time there.

 The door to this room has a special effect, so that when the door is opened, the view from inside to outside and from outside to inside is seemingly blocked off from each other.
 Although the effect can be loosened at will, the effect itself extends over the entire room, making it impossible to see the room from the outside by using gifts.

 But the effect is visual only.
 It is impossible to not feel the presence of the dozens of people who should be at the door.
 If it were possible, there is only one possibility.

 The moment the effect of the door was lifted, you could see the scene on the other side of the door, but as I said, there was no one there, not even Amazoness.

...... You, what do you think you're doing ......?

 Chloe slowly looks up when I ask her, stifling my anger.

 But the expression on her face is not what the man had imagined.
 I thought it would be either a look of fear or a look of determination.

 But there was a big smile on his face, as if he had blown it all away.

"Well, what do you mean, I was just doing what's natural.
"Of course," said ......? Are you going to die ...... or are you going to leave your friends behind ......?

 The original condition for Chloe's betrayal was that she would not kill her fellow Amazons in exchange for them.

 Of course, I didn't have to betray Chloe to set that condition.
 I did it simply because I thought it would be more interesting.

 The condition of not killing Amazons was firmly included in the contract I made with Chloe.
 Therefore, as long as Chloe is obedient, the man can't get at the Amazons: ...... that is, as long as Chloe is obedient.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.

The only thing that can make you feel better is the fact that you're not going to be able to get away with it. Well, that's no problem then. I'll kill your people one by one in front of you and show you a good deal of what it was like to do what you did.
"Hmmm. ...... What I did, huh?
"...... Why are you laughing? Or is it broken?
"No, I'm normal, right? It's just that I thought that I would have known exactly what I had done by now. ...... Yes, I know how stupid I was,


You're an idiot, or ...... you're certainly an idiot. Do you think you could get away with it if you didn't kill your friends ......? When you're here alone, you know what you've done. You slipped out of the stronghold with impunity after I withdrew, didn't you?

 The only way to get out of this base is through that place.

 That's why not only the brave men, but probably also Amazoness and her friends were lurking there.
 And after the man was gone, they got out of here.
 They must be out of here now.
 It was easy to know.

 But I wasn't expecting that much, and I'm sure I've been outsmarted.
 I still feel like I'm a novice at ......, but that was just as well.

So what's wrong with ......? If you say you got out of here, then you can just go after it and catch it again. Did I forget that this is possible? What you did was pointless and stupid, and it only resulted in the killing of your people.
"Killing your fellow man, huh? ...... Yeah, that's exactly where I was stupid.
"...... what?
I was completely wrong. I'm afraid that I'm out of my depth, and everyone else is out of their depth, and one of them told me that it was up to me to help them. ...... I thought that I had to protect them. But that's not the case. Because we are Amazons. We're a stupid race. Even if they killed us, it was pointless because we are the ones who will struggle to survive to the end. ...... If someone offered to let you live, you were right to bite them and say it was none of your business.
...... I see. I guess you guys are even more stupid than I thought.

 With that muttering, the man became aware of a new awareness.

 This gutsy attitude will not be shaken by half-measures.
 Or he might not even raise an eyebrow if his friends were to be humiliated and slaughtered right in front of him.
 He seemed to be that determined.

 But that's why I find it interesting.
 It's interesting to paint a surrendered heart with more despair, but it's also interesting to break an unbreakable heart and let it be tainted with despair.

I understand that you have made up your mind. But your power is still fragile. Once again you will be violated and you will know what you are.
"I know that already. That's why I'm the only one left here. I'm sure I'll only be able to buy a little bit of time for myself, but ...... he'll be able to do just that. In the meantime, I'm sure he'll help us all out. I'll do that for .......
"I don't know who you're talking about, but you'll soon find out. You'll never be able to deal with us.

 The devil is a rebel against the world.
 It's not possible for a human being to be an enemy when it's trying to take on the world.
 Even a brave man is not enough if you are taking a head-on approach.

 I'm sure you'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.
 It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're doing.

 It's not possible to win over the devil ...... unless you can save the world by yourself.

Now let's take it out of your spinning mouth first. After that, you can take both hands and feet and you won't be able to do anything, and it's a good example. Then you can concentrate and watch your friends get slaughtered miserably.
"Heh, ...... is good, isn't it? I mean, that's how much time I have to spend on me.

 The way you say it so comfortably, you feel neither self-conscious nor afraid.
 It's like he really means it.
 At the same time, he seems to really believe that his friends can be saved.

 Where is the evidence for this?
 I thought it was interesting as well as amusing.

Hmm ...... how will your face contort and break when all your certainties are proven to be an illusion? I'm looking forward to that moment.

 Lifting the edge of his lips while continuing to speak, he took a step closer to the figure - and

Unfortunately, the opportunity to satisfy such a shitty curiosity will never come? I promised I'd bring you home safe and sound.

 A moment later, with those words, a shadow intervened between the man and Chloe.
