The goal is to get him in front of me.

"He's absolutely confident in his power. He's always been overconfident, but now he has the absolute power of a great nobleman of the Kingdom of Shadi.

　Me explaining.

"The common people who are coming against such a great nobleman... he will try to make an example of them and beat them to death with a large number of soldiers. He'll come forward and try to bully me himself. He's going to take violent pleasure in it.

　That's where I'm going.

　My skills have a short range.
　For example, if I'm holed up in a solid building, I can't touch you.

　So... you're gonna have to come to me.

　Well, it's not that hard.

　I'm the simplest and most provocative of the former heroes.
　And he loves to show off his power, so...

I'm sure he'll come around.
...... Then use me as bait. That might be a better way to lure him out.

　Shea put her hand on her chest and offered.

"Bait?
Riot was trying to keep me close. If it came down to it, I'd stab him in the back...
I can't.

　I told Shea, who showed a tragic determination.

　Indeed, judging from the fight earlier, Shea was quite skilled.

　But Riot is a man who was a member of the heroic party.
　His skill level is different.

　He has become a duke and is living a life of self-indulgence, so he may not be as disciplined as a warrior as he used to be.
　Even so, I don't think Shea is a match for him.

You're going to get beaten back, and you're going to end up as a consolation prize.
"No, comfort .......

　Shea's face turned pale.
　She hugged herself tightly with both arms.

I'd rather bite my tongue off and die than be defiled by a man like that!

　She was stubborn.

"Don't worry. I'll kill him.

　I said and I walked away.

I don't need bait.
Master Chrome-......?
"Riot's castle is that way, right?

　"Riot's castle is that way, right?" He points to the west and asks.

Yes, sir. ...... What are you doing?
I told you I'd lure him out.

　I don't wait for Shea, I move on.

　I don't wait for Shea, but I keep going, weakly, but straight.
　I keep going.

"I'm gonna kill him. In the shortest distance. In a straight line.

　Now, let the vengeance begin...

　　　　SIDE

SIDE Riot.

Hey, we're out of booze!　Bring me more!

　Riot shouted angrily at a nearby squire.

　Riot shouted at a nearby squire, who couldn't even be bothered to replenish the supply before it ran out.
　He was a useless squire, he thought angrily.

"Yes, I'm back at ......!
He's completely useless. That's enough. Fire that man.
But, Duke, he has a life of his own, and you can't fire him so easily. ......

　It was the butler who was flustered.

He has a new wife, a new baby on the way...
I don't care!　You deserve to die for upsetting me. Riot-sama, a member of this illustrious party of heroes!

　I'm not sure what to say.

If you want, I can fire you instead of the guy from earlier.　There are plenty of replacements.
Oh, please don't do that. ......
Then you tell him he's fired.
...... Okay.
What's with the attitude?　You got a problem with me?

　Riot suddenly became furious and threw the glass in his hand at the butler.
　The glass struck him on the forehead.

"Uh, excuse me, sir.

　The butler crawled to the ground, his head bleeding.
　The butler crawled to the ground, his head bleeding. He rubbed his forehead on the floor and apologized to Riot.

"Please forgive me, .......



　The steward knows what will happen if he angers himself any further.

　In fact, the previous steward had slashed him to death in a fit of rage over a drink.
　He had the power to cover it up. .......

"Oh, well. I'll forgive you this time. Yeah, you should be investigating the killer. It's not good for my reputation if I let it go.

　I locked the butler out of the room as if to drive him away.
　He then turns his attention to the woman serving him.

"...... Oh.

　Riot's eyes narrowed.

　She was wearing a maid's uniform that had been modified to be more revealing to suit his taste.
　Naturally, she was beautiful.

　He has gathered the most beautiful women in the neighborhood, married or unmarried, with or without lovers, and has them all around him.
　Some of them, like Shea, refused to answer Riot's call.

"Hey, girl, ...... keep me company for a minute. Let's go to the bedroom.

　Riot licked his eyes over the maid's face and body.

"What, uh, ......?
You've got a nice body. I'm getting horny.

　No one can resist me.
　Their lives can be changed at will.

　I feel like a king.

　No, in this part of the world, Riot is the king.

Please forgive me. ...... Oh, ......

　He embraces the maid, who is on the verge of defending herself, and exhales a breath that smells of alcohol.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　The resistance soon ceased, as if she had given up.

It's best to be honest. I'm going to take good care of you from now on, okay?

　Riot forcefully dragged her to the bedroom.

　The door slammed shut and a woman's sorrowful scream echoed from inside the room...

　　　　I

　I was heading straight for the duke's castle, where Riot lived.

　Incidentally, both Shea and I were wearing cloaks and hoods, with masks over our eyes.
　It was a simple disguise to hide our identities.

Shea looked at me anxiously and said, "Oh, um, are you sure you're okay?

　Shea is walking by my side with a worried look on her face.

"No matter how much I want to lure Riot out, I can't just walk in head-on.

　Certainly, it would be the height of recklessness if you think of it in terms of common sense.
　However, my ability is the opposite of such common sense.

I told you I would take the shortest route.

　I told her curtly.

　She'd only seen my ability once, but I'd been using this EX skill for two years.
　I was absolutely sure of it.

　No matter who it was, they couldn't stop me...
　And...

Who the hell are you?
The Duke of Riot's castle is just ahead!　It's no place for a drifter like you!
Leave immediately!

　From a few dozen meters away, several soldiers arrived.
　They must be the guards patrolling the area.

I'll be there, but I'm not going anywhere!
I just tore up a man who wandered into the neighborhood. As an example.
Shall I make you suffer the same for the sake of the duke's glory?　Hmm?

　A man of power and violence with the authority of a rioter.

That's low class.

　That's what I decided, and I moved on.

"Can't you hear me, ......?
f*ck!
"Aah!

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

　A typical soldier's physical strength is around 100 to 300 at most.
　A hero like Riot would have a strength of 1,000, 2,000, or even more, but....

　But there's no way they have that kind of stamina.
　They took 9999 fixed damage and all died instantly.

"Mr. Chrome-......

　Shea gulped at the horrific sight.

"You don't have to follow me if you're afraid. I'll go alone.
"No, I'm coming with you!

　No, I'm coming with you!" She looked pale, but shouted stoutly.
