Birthday

[Kutcha kutcha]

I was sitting cross-legged while eating my breakfast.

One serving of beef jerky.

[Kutcha, kutcha]

I glared towards the poisoned complexion of the lizardmen.

They were all sleeping while purple bubbles were showing on their skin.

Behind them are the corpses of the quadruped lizards.

Diagonally in front of me, in both my left and right side were the two dragon zombies who were also collapsed on the ground.

Their complexion had also turned to purple.

Occasionally, they would utter out something like a groan.

[Gguuu, gggiii, gguueeeeeehhhh.]

Theyre wailing in pain.

Theyve been deprived of the control over their own lives.

What made it possible is that Im sure thats definitely killing intent.

Theres something in me, something like a factor in me thats existed just for killing.

I squint my eyes as I look towards the groaning monsters.

Two dragon zombies.

Before I knew it, the ugly rotting faces of these dragon zombies coincide with the faces of my parents.

They were kicking me at that day, while I curled around so that I can protect my head.

I think its around after dinner.

My dinner usually mostly consists of the leftovers of what my parents had eaten.

My mother used to have a habit of buying too much food at the supermarket.

Thats also the reason why she always had a quarrel with father.

But thanks to that, there are more extra meals for me to eat.

[Youre one tough brat, huh!? Tsk~! If you had wailed more, this would have been a little bit more fun~! Here~!] (T/N: Ora~!)

[Dont kill him, okay? Nowadays, the eyes of the society have been stricter and stricter~]

[Shut up! If the brat dies, then he can die for all I care! Itd be an accidental death. Accidental, you hear me!? No one would know as long as you dont croak! Rather, if this brat dies, wont we get plenty of money from the condolence gift on this brats funeral?]

[Rather than that darling, Im already kicking too! Here~! Here~! Here~! Is it painful!? Are you feeling bitter!? But you see, Ive been feeling this bitter stress every single day at work! A f*cking tedious work! So, isnt that great!? A brat like you~ doesnt know anything!? Here here here!!! Say something, Touka!? Die! Die! Die!] (T/N: Ora~! Ora~! Ora~!)

[Thats quite an appetizer for a good sake. Gulp, gulp puhhaaa~! Excellent! Well finally kill him if we keep beating him up! Thats quite refreshing!]

[Here here here~ huh!? Tsk! The guy from next door came here to complain about the noise!]

[Oi! It will be troublesome if we were called in the child guidance center again!]

[T-Thats right Yes, were coming~! Were really sorry~! Well make sure to be quieter now~! Im really sorry that my kid is quite noisy~]

Someday, I ll kill them.

If I dont, Ill be killed by them.

If I had more power

Id be able trample or even crush all things that block my way if I had power.

I want to kill them.

Then, Id never have to complain about the pain Im feeling.

I should kill them.

I need to kill them.

Im going to kill them.

Did I understand killing intent at that time?

[If so, I should be thankful.]

To them.

For giving me that factor of killing intent.

I have been able to cultivate killing intent like those from other creatures.

[If I were able to get back to my original world it might be a good idea to search for them at least once. I would say my thanks at that time]

I have nothing but gratefulness towards uncle and his family.

Im not being sarcastic this time though, I really am grateful to them from the bottom of my heart.

Uncles family made the normal me everyone had seen.

This normality is also an important part of my life.

He taught me the warmth that someone could give.

He taught me to have a kind heart.

I really want to thank my uncle who took me in and raised me like his own son.

[a kind heart, huh.]

I absentmindedly looked at the dying monsters.

The first of them to die was a quadruped lizard.

The only way for me to be able to kill any of them is to wait for the poison to kill them from within.

[Geeehhh, gggaahhhh!? Gguuuueeeee.]

<Your level has increased.>

I dont feel any exhilarating feeling at all.

Its such a terrible scene.

Just like this massacre Im committing now.

Yes This deed Ive done.

This dreadful act of mine.

The kind heart that my uncle once taught me, its completely missing.

[Fuguuhhh]

Tears started flowing from my eyes.

[Sh*t what the f**k is this]

At this time where I had finally began to understand what I had done, the gruesome and terrible act I have committed were grasping my anguished heart

Or so I thought is what would have happened.

[Its not like that.]

Its not like that at all.

The tears continue to flow down from my eyes.

I was honestly surprised since I cant feel anything for these monsters at all.

What Im surprised about are the remaining tears that still continue to flow.

Was I poisoned by something?

Did my resistance to killing sleep temporarily?

Or was it my sense of decency as a human that had paralyzed my immunity to killing?

Ive never thought about it.

Ive never thought of how frightening I had been.

I wipe away my tears.

[Fuuuuuu]

I exhaled out a small sigh.

The tears in my eyes had already stopped flowing.

[Its not like I can do anything else.]

This situation will continue as long I keep fighting for my survival.

Theres no other choice but to accept the situation.

Accept it already, the me as of now.

The newest

Touka Mimori.

All of you were trying to kill me.

I am also trying to kill of all of you.

Its indeed a simple rule.

If you really direct killing intent towards me then I will say sorry now for I will not be lenient towards you and thoroughly trample you down.

I gaze towards the deep darkness beyond my sight.

[Yo~]

It appears that Im not scared of you anymore.

This darkness that Ive always been afraid of, may become my newest friend who Ill always hold hands with.

[Ggiyyaaahhh! Ggiieeehh!?]

[Gguuueeehhh!?]

[Gguuggyyaahh!? Giyyeehhh!?]

The voices of agony upon their coming death continuously sounded out.

The lizardmen were successively drawing out their last breath.

Its a requiem of death.

[Gooo, ggeeehhh]

[Hhiggiieeehhh]

It seems the dragon zombies also collapsed already.

Its an incredibly gruesome and detestable scene.

On the way towards the upper area after I finally finish all of this, Ill make sure to remember them all

<Your level has increased.>

The me right now had a wide smile formed in my face.
