The Boy Who Swore Revenge On The World Chapter 6

The Mysterious Skeleton

“”KA KA KA! You s.h.i.+ts who are deceived by a s.h.i.+t woman! I’m sorry but I’ll have you return my precious thing(woman)!””
“”Don’t screw with us! Like we will hand over our country’s Holy Maiden over to a demon like you!””
“”Haa! You s.h.i.+ts that don’t even know how your Holy Maiden-sama is being treated by your country! You guys! To the s.h.i.+ts who wors.h.i.+ps carefreely without even knowing how the Holy Maiden who’s in front of their eyes is being treated, slam all your resentment into them! Remember what was done to you by the country! Anger and resentment, unleash all your hatred! “”

“……What was that?”

Memories that don’t belong to me flowed in my head. A black hair guy who wore a black robe is, bringing along zombies and skeletons¹, a.s.sailing the human army. Who on earth do these memories belong to.

“Yoo, woken up?”

When I was troubled by the memories that I don’t know of, I hear a voice from the side. Turning towards the voice, the skeleton wearing a black robe who came just now is sitting on a chair……
That’s right, what about Kaa-san!?

I tried getting up from the bed I was sleeping in before the skeleton said anything but, because I have no fingers with all of them cut off, my right eye smashed and wasn’t able to grasp the sense of distance with one eye, I fell from the bed. I couldn’t put any strength into my leg, I also can’t hear anything from my surroundings.

“Good grief, don’t rush. Here”

The skeleton waves his finger while still sitting and, from the ground comes another skeleton. This is a skeleton huh. Although not to the extent of the skeleton in front of me, it has a staggering atmosphere. It’s definitely no ordinary skeleton.

The new skeleton that came out, walks over while showing a refined behaviour that is unthinkable from the boorish appearance. Then, it returned me who has fallen on the ground back on to the bed without feeling any pain. As though it has gotten used to it.

Then, the black robe skeleton who came to my side before I noticed, has both its hands holding my head.
Wh, what? When the magic from the skeleton flows, somehow the spot where my ears were are feeling itchy. Being held from the back so that I wouldn’t move and

“Can you hear, boy?”

And, I can hear voices. I thought ‘Eh?’ and touched the spot where the skeleton was touching before and, there are ears attached. Even though they should’ve been cut off by the villagers.

I didn’t understand anything and was still bewildered when, this time my hand without fingers were taken. Grabbing my right hand, the skeleton with its right hand, did something like joining something to the thumb portion of my right hand that has no finger.

Seeing that, I tried to pull my hand back without thinking. Though the skeleton‘s hand that was grabbing on to mine is stronger so I couldn’t move. What the skeleton held, was my fingertip that was cut off.

Affixing the cut end of fingertips to the cut end of my hands was a squirmish sight that felt unpleasant but, after affixing it together, it affixed beautifully as though there was no wound before. When I try moving it, it moves normally.

To the other places of the surprised me, the skeleton affixed the fingers one after another. Amazing, I don’t feel anything out of place. It feels the same as before it was cut off.

“With this, you can hear my voice right”

“Y, yes. I can hear”

“Ou. For now, my name is Darx・Bradley. The Dark Magian who is the reason why you ended up like this”

……Th, this guy is a Dark Magician. The reason why I ended up like this…… I entrusted my body to the anger and tried to stand up but, I’m held down from the back by a skeleton.

“Well, I understand why you became like that. To think that that s.h.i.+t woman is using such a method while I was sleeping was something that I had not considered”

“What are you talking about! It’s because, it’s because you picked a fight with the Holy Kingdom! Because of that, I met with such fate……Kaa-san is……”

“My apologies for that. But, it’s thanks to you entrusting to anger and releasing your magic that I am once again able to come to this world, and was able to save you. Since I’m already satisfied with living, it’s fine even if I were to be killed by you. But I want you to leave it till after you’ve listened to what I have to say ”

To me who has entrusted to anger and shouting, the skeleton spoke in a calm tone. The figure, even though the appearance remains that of a skeleton, a truly remorseful emotion was conveyed.

I can’t trust this skeleton, absolutely won’t forgive it but, there’s no mistaking that he did save my life. Furthermore, it can be said that currently, my life lies in the hand of the skeleton. It’ll be fine even if I leave it till I’ve listened to what he has to say.

I nod to the skeleton; Darx’s words and, the skeleton holding me down backs away. I take a seat on the bed that I had been sleeping on until recently.

“Alright then, where shall we begin. Shall we start with the Dark Magician”

“Then, have you found the demon!?”
“No, after being taken away by the skeleton monster, we couldn’t go after it”
“Idiots! I’ve already told the Holy Kingdom that the demon which is the『Dark Magician』has been found! It’s already decided that a Paladin from there is coming over. And yet, if there’s no demon I will be punished!”

“Right now, the knights are all searching together”

“Of course! ……Then, what about the Holy Maiden?”

“Yes, it seems that the Holy Maiden hasn’t left the room since that day. She doesn’t eat even when the lady attendant brought her food.”

“s.h.i.+t! Each and every one of those trashes won’t move according to my plan! Even though it’s my chance to return to the Holy Kingdom! Do whatever it takes to get the Holy Maiden to eat! It’ll be troublesome if she dies!”

“Understood”
