Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

"OK then......"

Clara seemed to be persuaded. She bit her fair finger as if she was thinking, and after a few seconds she smiled and said, "But I think we should drink it later."

"It'll get cold soon and won't taste good anymore, really. Come and try it."

Arya was getting a little impatient. Why was this girl making such a fuss over something as simple as drinking soup? She couldn't keep up the act with her any longer.

"But Clara likes to drink it after meals, because it tastes better when it's cold."

"is it?"

Upon receiving the same answer, Arya's originally cute face instantly changed expression. Since being gentle wasn't working, there was no need to continue acting.

Her patience had reached its limit, and she no longer cared about what her father thought.

"Since you don't want to drink, then don't drink!"

“Father, I can’t stand this guy anymore, I can’t keep up the act. Why don’t you hand her over to me first... just take her to the dungeon and torture her for a few days, then she’ll behave.”

Chapter 17 Preparations for Annihilation: Leave No Survivors

"If you don't want to act, then you don't have to. It's okay."

Seeing that Arya was no longer acting, the male protagonist said he didn't mind. Although it was not quite what he had imagined, it didn't affect anything.

If she doesn't drink it here, you can force it down her throat yourself, it's just a little more troublesome.

However, the master stopped Arya from taking him to the dungeon right now.

"It would be such a waste to take it to the dungeon now. Such a good prey is extremely rare, even in the entire capital."

If you take her to the dungeon and let Arya torture her for a few days, the little beauty in front of you will probably be completely broken, and then you'll lose a lot of the fun.

We should wait until he's had his fill before discussing it further.

"Anyway, my dear daughter, thank you for bringing back such a fine prey. I like it very much. Let me play with her for a few days, and then I will hand her over to you."

The male head of the household spoke his mind directly. Strangely, not only Arya, but even his wife didn't seem to mind, as if there was nothing wrong with it.

Instead, the hostess stopped pretending to be harmonious and began to carefully examine the white-haired girl in front of her.

"These are indeed rare finds, Arya. Let's enjoy this for a while longer this time. It would be such a waste if we played with them too long!"

"So you were lying to Clara? Are you...bad people?"

Clara swallowed the food in her mouth, looked at the group, a hint of doubt appearing on her beautiful face, and asked innocently.

Seeing the three people stop acting, Clara breathed a sigh of relief. She had almost thought that they had become better in the real world and were no longer like the characters in the anime.

Now it seems she was overthinking things; their family is still as twisted as ever.

"Haha, very good,"

Looking at Clara's innocent expression, the middle-aged man became even more excited.

“This is wonderful! I love these innocent little lambs. Guards, seize her and take her to my room.”

"Remember, don't hurt her. If you even scratch her, you'll be going to the dungeon."

The master of the house did not intend to do anything directly there, but instead summoned the guards outside.

"Yes."

The guard entered the room, and upon hearing the word "dungeon," he seemed to recall something terrifying, and quickly responded. Then he strode towards Clara.

"What...what are you trying to do? Don't come any closer."

Clara isn't afraid of you!

As the tall and imposing guard approached her, Clara stood up and quickly took a few steps back, but her heel bumped into the stool.

Her fearful yet resilient demeanor evokes pity, but to a pervert, it only excites him more.

"If you don't want to get hurt, you'd better cooperate!"

The guards didn't care about any of that; all they wanted now was to get her safely to the head of the household's room.

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed at Clara...

However, a huge figure suddenly appeared behind Clara, and a giant iron hand was slamming down on the two of them.

[Do not touch Clara.]

Clara, close your eyes.

As soon as Schwarz finished speaking, the instant Clara closed her eyes, a huge iron hand grabbed the arms of the two guards before they could react.

puff!puff!

Blood splattered.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Two extremely shrill screams suddenly rang out, and the pupils of Arya and the other two beside her contracted instantly as they stared in astonishment at what was happening before their eyes.

The arms of the two guards were ripped off, flesh and bones torn off, exposing blood, flesh and white bones, with crimson blood spurting out.

Looking at the mechanical creature that had appeared behind Clara without her noticing, a chill ran down her spine. When did this thing appear? How could it have suddenly appeared behind this girl?

Moreover, judging from the mechanical creature's voice, it was a being that protected Clara.

At this moment, they finally understood that they had kicked a hornet's nest. They had originally thought that this beautiful girl was just a little lamb, easy to bully.

I never expected to have such terrifying mechanical creatures protecting me.

As nobles, they actually knew something about these mechanical creatures; the empire had been researching them for a long time, but had not invested in them on a large scale.

People who have access to these things are definitely not ordinary.

Before the master could think any further, the screams abruptly stopped. Perhaps Swallow had no interest in torturing others, and simply took the life of the struggling guard, ending his suffering.

"Wait a minute, we can talk this over, I can..."

At this moment, the nobleman realized what was happening and quickly stretched out his hands to tell Schwarz, who was standing next to Clara, not to act impulsively, as he was prepared to make amends.

However, Schwarzlo showed no sign of stopping.

[Prepare for annihilation; leave no survivors.]

Now that things have come to this point, it's only natural to eliminate them completely; in his calculations, everyone here deserves to die.

To avoid calculation errors, Schwarzro waited until Arya's family stopped pretending and truly revealed their true colors before taking action.

Plot details cannot be taken as the sole basis for judgment; actual data is needed. Now that the data has been obtained, this family is even more cruel and perverted than depicted in the anime.

Those guards and servants were also damned people who participated in it.

Clara isn't used to large-scale killings here, so she'll have to do it herself.

Seeing that Swallow continued to approach him and ignored his orders, the master panicked completely and pushed the servant next to him in front of Swallow to buy himself some time.

"Someone is coming, someone is coming!"

After pushing the servant out, the middle-aged man no longer cared about anyone, not even his wife and daughters, and ran towards the door while shouting.

He's a nobleman, how could he die here?

Seeing his actions, his wife and daughter Arya realized what was happening and hurriedly followed him, running frantically towards the outside of the mansion.

Schwarz slapped the servant to death, then locked onto the group and followed them out.

He did not use artillery or missiles, because this was the capital city, and according to his analysis, using missiles would attract unnecessary attention.

These ordinary human creatures could be easily dealt with using only their hands...

Even so, this will only make them more terrified, and can be considered a punishment.

Schwarz was incredibly fast; he caught up with her in the blink of an eye.

This intensified the three's fear, making them feel that this mechanical creature was a hellish demon ready to claim their lives.

Chapter 18 A river of blood

Seeing that he was about to be caught up, the male homeowner noticed his wife following closely behind, and in a fit of rage, he pushed her to the ground without hesitation.

Use her to buy yourself time, and then wait for the guards to arrive.

"Ah!! You..."

The woman was completely taken aback by her husband's actions and was thrown to the ground, her eyes filled with resentment.

He wanted to say something, but then he felt a figure getting closer and closer behind him, and cold sweat broke out on his brow.

She tried to get up, but found that she had twisted her ankle and couldn't get up for a while. She could only look to her daughter for help.

"Arya..."

Hearing her mother's voice, Arya was startled. Turning around, she saw her mother slumped on the ground, looking at her with pleading eyes.

"help me......"

The lady pleaded, her once beautiful face now pale and ashen.

To everyone's surprise, Arya didn't stop when she heard this. After noticing Schwarz chasing after her, she turned around and ran away in a panic!

The woman was startled by her daughter's behavior and turned completely cold.

It seems that not all humans are emotional beings, and not everyone values ​​family ties highly.

Human emotions are truly unfathomable.

Schwarz's cold, mechanical voice came from behind her.

The lady's pupils contracted, her face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color. She trembled violently, and her head turned slowly, like a rusty machine.

Then all that could be seen was an iron hand filled with the stench of blood.

Blood splatters!

Before she could even see clearly, her world began to spin, and as she landed, she saw her headless body, blood gushing out...
