Brago shook his head. “No. Nevertheless it got here to the purpose that I do not agree along with your management anymore.”

I gaped at him. “What’s there to not agree with? I feel you guys have it simple.”

“Simple?” Brago raised a forehead. “Storming the Blood Rain is not simple, and all for what? To deliver meals for these girls who do nothing however laze round in the home all day? I feel it is time for a brand new management to happen.”

Emi and Sheryl glared at Brago, and the previous warned, “Watch out what you say there. You might need been the chief earlier than, however we are able to simply change you, too.”

The nook of Brago’s lips quirked upward. “You realize as a lot that I am the strongest in right here.”

<From their self-righteous perspective, anybody can inform that they’ve already handed judgment. It is time to kill them.>

“E-everyone . . .” Megu did not know what to say or do, seeing that everybody wished the chief’s place.

“The proprietor of the home is me. I constructed this,” I advised them.

<Go get them, Host.>

Nevertheless it appeared like they did not hear me as they continued to quarrel amongst themselves.

I then talked to Brago, wanting to alter his thoughts. “I am altering the roles. Is not that what you need? We should not battle about this and simply vote it out like civilized human beings.”

<Vote? There’s nothing to vote for. This property belongs to you, Host. The System strongly believes that you must kill all of them.>

May you cease making issues extra sophisticated?

“Shut up.” Emi hissed, making me flinch. “I will provide you with 5 minutes to again the hell away, or I will roast you myself.”

“Cease with the pep discuss, Cross,” added Brago. “Altering roles would not reduce it. You must order these individuals with iron fists for them to hearken to you. Each you and I do know that you just’re not able to that. Solely I’m able to that on this group.”

The poison of their hearts was spilling out for all to see. I lastly realized that they have been solely motivated by their very own egocentric needs.

Their curled lips and delicate baring of enamel have been intimidating, making me need to flip away and never become involved anymore.

It wasn’t like I wished to be the Lord of the Home. So long as I had a roof over my head and ate three meals a day, then I used to be already glad.

I knew it nicely — that I wasn’t born a pacesetter. Ever since I might bear in mind, I’ve all the time been a follower.

“What do you imply you?” Emi scoffed. “And iron fists, my ass. You identical to management and the sensation that everybody will depend on you. You are nothing however an enormous man with an excellent larger want for approval!”

Brago’s face darkened. With a low, threatening posture and baleful eyes, he displayed the malice hidden deep in his savage coronary heart. It appeared like he was going to launch himself in opposition to Emi, and I needed to do one thing about this.

“Relax, everybody,” I stated, however after my phrases sounded, I discovered myself the main focus of baleful intent within the type of an assault that sought my finish.

“W-what?” I stepped again when all eyes have been on me.

“The chief is whoever kills you,” Emi stated, and I caught the flash of cruelty from the smile on her face.

“Agreed,” affirmed Brago, who was critically me like I used to be already useless. “Sorry, Cross. However for the nice of the group, that you must hand your Tokens to me.”

Huh?! I gaped at them. How did they even determined that?

“W-wait a minute, you two . . .” I raised my fingers and took a step again. “We will discuss this like human beings.”

Sheryl laughed. “Humorous how you are still performing like an fool even within the face of loss of life? Know that you will be remembered as a idiot.”

Fool? Idiot? Was that what you name serving to your fellow human beings?

If that’s the case, then I did not know what kindness and compassion have been anymore.

Did this world corrupt them? Or have been they simply corrupt to start with?

<All people are evil, and it reveals in determined instances!>

My eyes went to Edgar, Megu, and Sheryl, who have been on the aspect. Edgar could not care much less. Megu averted my gaze whereas Sheryl was having fun with the present.

Brago launched himself at me with ruthless abandon, his sword slashing proper to my chest. Out of shock, I stepped away instantly and misplaced my stability within the hearth. My again hit the sofa, flipping the chair.

Waves of ache radiated up my backbone momentarily, blurring my ideas. Actually, I used to be extra in ache from hitting the sofa than his strike on my chest.

I shortly obtained up and stared at them critically. “You are making an enormous mistake.”

Brago was confused when he noticed that he did not even handle to depart a scratch on me. “I applaud you to your quick reflexes of avoiding my strike, however you are solely delaying the inevitable, Cross. Maintain nonetheless, and I’ll end this shortly, so you will not really feel any ache.”

Possibly he was proper. Possibly I ought to simply quit. That may be a lot simpler than struggling in right here and being constantly upset by all of the people I interacted with.

I perceive that they have been solely looking for themselves. Thrown into this unknown world the place killing and betraying one another was the norm, they have been simply scared like I used to be. That was why they acted first to save lots of themselves.

All of that is for survival.

However what about me? What about my household? Did it actually should be like this?

I needed to battle again. If not for myself, then at the very least for my household who may be right here.

Wasn’t there one other approach? Could not we work collectively as a substitute of preventing each other?

The reply was apparently no when a ball of fireplace hit me within the head. It sizzled earlier than it disappeared fully.

Emi had a frown on her face. “It did not burn him?”
