Chapter 88

If the information these guys provided is correct, the headquarters of the Goddess Cult is, as I suspected, located in a mountainous area near the border, far from the holy capital Miltanas.

It’s indeed a heretical sect. Well, I don’t really care about the reasons.

The Church is an enemy of Ares and Ariamel.

The Goddess Cult is an enemy of Nina.

So, both are my enemies.

Regardless of their reasons, anyone who threatens the future of those kids will be killed.

“…It will take about a day by horse from here. What should we do with them?”

Emilia glanced briefly at the eyepatched man and the attackers. With a carriage, the three of them could be taken, but that would take quite a bit of time. They needed to consider the burden on the horses, whether they should take turns carrying one person with Emilia.

The attackers were still trembling, but the eyepatched man remained calm.

“…I’m already of no use. Just kill me quickly.”

He said that and closed his eyes quietly.

Emilia shifted her gaze to me and asked in a low voice, “What do you think?”

They came here as the other party of the deal, and indeed, we might not need him anymore.

“If you have anything to say other than begging for your life, I’ll listen. Do you have any last words?”

I drew my sword and asked, to which the eyepatched man snorted. At the same time, Emilia’s face showed surprise. What’s with that expression?

“Ha! You’re too kind. Well then…”

He seemed to be about to say something, but after a moment of consideration, he shook his head.

“Nah, forget it. Just hurry up and kill me.”

After a short pause, he said that.

Whether he chose not to say it or couldn’t say it, I don’t really care.

“I see.”

I swung my sword at the eyepatched man.

With a dull sound, his head fell to the ground.

“It’s unusual for Gray to listen to a villain’s last words.”

“…Is that so?”

Well, in the end, he provided us with the information and, no matter what he said, I would have killed him.

Before leaving this forest, I gathered the bodies of the human traffickers and attackers in one place and disposed of them. Since there were quite a few of them, if left alone, the corpses could rot and cause an epidemic in nearby villages.

Regarding carnivorous creatures that have acquired a taste for human flesh, such things are not uncommon in this world, and there’s no way to stop them.

Well, “disposal” just means burning the bodies. I don’t have any specialized knowledge or anything.

…

After a while, I looked at the burning bodies. Regardless of the fact that they were villains, the smell of burning flesh is unpleasant.

“That should do it.”

After putting out the fire, I finished cleaning up.

“Are you done over there? How about you?”

Emilia called out to me while I was disposing of the bodies. She had been preparing supplies and horses.

“Yeah, I’m almost done here too.”

While I was handling the bodies, Emilia asked, “Shall we go then?”

“Sure.”

Upon hearing her reply, we mounted our horses almost simultaneously and set off.

Hehehe… Goddess Cult, wait for your punishment. Even if there’s a so-called “Goddess” behind you, I’ll definitely wipe you out.
