Volume 1
Chapter 38
I was Insulted
by the Woman
Translator : PolterGlast
A rain of light poured
down over the entire hall.
It was as fast as a
laser.
Each rain of light was
so powerful that if I touched it, my body would be obliterated.
Once again, I was
completely obliterated without a fight.
Even after erasing me,
the rain of light didn't stop.
Perhaps that woman
knows that I can regenerate.
It's clear that this
rain of light is the woman's attack. And considering that the golems stopped
moving after this attack and the woman appeared from the door that the golems
were guarding, she must be the creator of those golems. Or at least, she must
be in a position of authority over the golems.
So, it wouldn't be
strange if she shared the information the golems gained from the previous
battles. In fact, the giant golems seemed to know about my powers, so I don't
think there's any scenario where they don't share information.
But this rain of light
isn't spreading outside the hall. I started regenerating there.
As if sensing that I
had regenerated, the rain of light stopped.
"───!"
The woman glared at me
with sharp eyes and gritted her teeth. There was a feeling close to hatred in
her eyes.
Whoa... she's angry.
Well, she would be angry if her property, the golems, were destroyed like that.
Tekiru said, "This is a ruin," and said something about
"conquering it," so I thought it would be okay to destroy it... but
wait? That's right, this is a "ruin". And according to Tekiru, this
is a super dangerous zone, right? Then why is there a person here? Huh...? If
there are people, then it's not a ruin. This is clearly trespassing. Did
everyone misunderstand? Or is there something wrong with that woman?
...Ah, no, I don't
understand at all.
For now, I should
apologize.
"Um, excuse
me..."
"Don't talk, be
quiet, you lowly human."
"Ah, okay."
"I told you to
stop talking!"
I can't even reply.
She's such a troublesome person...
I don't want to get
involved with someone like this. The best thing to do is just go home───but... will she let
me? She's so angry, she might not let me escape until she's vented her anger. I
need to figure out what to do next.
What should I do...?
"Hmph, to stand
up twice after receiving my purification. How filthy of you to cling to life,
despite being a taboo. Can't you see that ugliness is ugly no matter how hard
you try?"
Taboo? Ugly? What's
wrong with my appearance? ...Maybe it's because I'm naked.
"No matter how
much you struggle, you will remain ugly. All you can do is be quietly erased by
me, yet... how shamelessly do you cling to this place?"
No, I actually want to
leave this place as soon as possible.
"Are you not
going to say anything after hearing all that? Come on, say something. Try
making some ugly noise like a lowly creature."
The woman snorted and
gave me a condescending look. No, if I talk, she'll just tell me to "shut
up" again, right? I know that, so I'm not going to argue.
"Why do you
humans have such foolish dreams in the first place? What's the point of coming
here? Yet, you say things like 'there is treasure hidden here' or 'there is a
powerful weapon here.' Why can you have such foolish ideas? And only to be
pitifully killed by Garma? It's so unpleasant, so useless. There is no greater
filth than being ugly and dying here without achieving anything."
Oh, yeah, I guess so.
For her, this isn't a ruin. So, of course, she would think people who challenge
this place are "foolish". But, "filth"... that's a really
harsh way to put it.
"You're the same,
aren't you? Did you think there was money hidden here?"
"………."
"Answer me, why
did you come here?"
...Can I open my
mouth?
"Um, can I
talk?"
"I told you. I
said 'answer me,' not 'shut up'."
...I'm not quite sure
when I'm allowed to speak.
"Umm... why I
came here? Well, I was invited by Tekiru, but..."
"Hmph. So you're
that kind of person. In other words, you have no sense of self. Even insects
have a sense of self... you are truly a taboo."
Taboo, taboo, what's
so taboo about me? But if I say something extra, she'll tell me to "shut
up" again, won't she? I'll just keep quiet then.
"The one who
invited you must be a foolish dreamer. A fool and a void, what a perfect
pair."
A void...?
"Did that fool
leave everything to you and wait at the entrance? And you're being used. What
an ugly relationship."
...No, that's not...
"Even if you
found something here, all the rewards would go to that fool, wouldn't they? As
a void, you would be left with nothing."
"Ah, wait, can I
say something?"
"Hmph, what is
it? Have you finally decided to argue?"
I raised my left hand
to interrupt the woman. If I keep silently agreeing with everything she says,
she might get carried away and talk for a long time.
"About how I got
here, it's a little different."
"Haa~?"
"It's true that I
was invited by Tekiru to come here. But I was separated from Tekiru by an
accident at the entrance. I came here on my own will."
"………What?"
"I was just
having fun, fighting those golems. I was having so much fun, I was just so
engrossed in it. And before I knew it, I had come this far. That's all there is
to it, how I came here."
