"Are you disbanding the team?"

"Ah."

The [Counter Arrow] team is no longer around.

They did not die in the labyrinth, nor did they die in the mouths of monsters.

Instead, he died at the hands of someone who was also human.

It kept repeating in my mind...

Sarah died from excessive blood loss; Susanna was killed instantly by an arrow to the temple; Mimir and Patrice died in a hail of arrows while protecting Sarah; and Timothy died in agony, vomiting blood...

I had never experienced the cruelty of another world before...

Just a moment ago, someone was cracking nonsensical jokes with you, but the next second they're gone, leaving only a corpse lying to the side.

I never imagined such a thing would happen...

In another world, you'll encounter all sorts of sexy exotic beauties, and NPCs will guide you through challenging dungeons to Saint-level difficulty. After obtaining divine artifacts, you'll become a hero who defeats evil dragons...

This world... this world has never had such a thing before...

People die, and when they die, everything is gone...

Disbanding this team is the last thing I can do for them after I bury them.

I hope they can put an end to this life's troubles and be reborn into a good family in their next life.

……

"You don't belong in this team, do you...?"

"They have already..."

"I understand."

Before I could finish speaking, the receptionist understood what I meant. She was probably used to seeing other people come to disband the team after the entire team was wiped out.

Next, I filled out several forms. I was very uncomfortable writing with my left hand, so in the end, I had to have Silphi fill them out for me.

After filling it out, next...

That obese nobleman…

Your name is T. Thompson, right...?

"If...you...you...are their friends, it would be better to keep these things with you."

The receptionist called me over. She formally presented me with the five adventurer cards, holding them in both hands, her expression revealing a hint of fear towards me.

Am I scary?

Hilufi followed behind me without saying a word, simply holding my only remaining left hand.

……

Back at the hotel, I lay down on the bed, too afraid to sleep.

I can't sleep. As soon as I close my eyes, the bloody things I saw during the day come to mind.

Should I spare the lives of those who came to ambush me?

They may also have children, family, and countless worries.

Those people came with the intention of killing me. Even if I don't kill them, they will kill me...

The first time I experienced the feeling of being able to easily take someone else's life, I didn't feel anything specific, just a little bit of guilt.

But what about Sarah, Susanna, Mimir, Patrice, and Timothy?

I had the ability to save them, but I failed.

If only I could have done it sooner…

……

What did that feel like? A wave of heat suddenly washed over me, my thoughts became blurred, and my mind went completely blank.

"Knock knock knock knock"

My heart is still racing...

I felt my head being held and pressed against a warm and soft place.

I'm being held in Sylphie's arms...

"Rudy...let's sleep together tonight...it's okay to do whatever we want..."

That gentle voice rushed into my mind...

Sylphie...

It doesn't matter what you do...

Does she mean hugging her or something...?

I just killed five people during the day, and then tonight...

I can't do it...

"Can you hold me a little longer... Sylphie..."

"If it's Rudy... it doesn't matter how long it takes..."

I wrapped my left arm around her waist, and she pulled my head tightly into her arms...

Should I cry...?

But I can't cry...

……

And so the next morning arrived.

Hilfi and I walked out of the guest room, and Mr. Bruno was sitting downstairs.

As soon as he saw me, Mr. Bruno knelt down and kowtowed to me.

"I'm sorry, Lord Rudius, I never expected you to encounter such a thing,"

"Please don't do that, Mr. Bruno."

I quickly helped Bruno up and then sat him down in a chair.

"I'm the one who should apologize. I'm the one who caused the deaths of those five... and ruined the guards you hired at great expense..."

"As for the guards... we can hire more. They are just guards. Your safety is the most important thing."

Just guards?

Can human life be described simply as nothing?

I can't help but recall a fact I realized yesterday: this is another world.

Since that's the case... then I have no choice but to abide by the rules of this world.

"Lord Rudeus, where are you going?"

I didn't say anything, left Bruno behind, and pulled Silphie out of the inn.

I found out yesterday when I returned to town that the nobleman named Tetton lived in a manor in the suburbs.

You want to buy my life? Fine!

Just like I said when we met, I want you to pay me back double!

……

It was already noon. Silphie and I were standing on a small hillside, and not far away, a manor smaller than Roya's castle stood before us.

"Sylphie, put this on."

I took off my cloak and draped it over Sylphie; this cloak had saved both Sylphie and me twice.

There might already be spies planted by T.T. Thompson within the Adventurers' Guild. If I were him, I would definitely be on guard.

If anything were to happen to Hilfi again, I simply couldn't accept it; I couldn't even imagine Hilfi being struck by an arrow and falling to the ground.

"Rudy..."

“Sylphie, remember this, never take it off.”

"All right…"

Although reluctant, Hilfi did as I said.

At first, I wanted to keep Silphie at the hotel, but I figured she would find a way to come along no matter what. I didn't want to think about what might happen if something went wrong on the way.

Another question is whether it's appropriate for Sylphie to see me kill a lot of people today.

“Silphie, today’s scene may be very bloody, you…”

"It's good that Rudy is alright."

Hearing her say that made me even more worried. But it's actually good that she came along. If I get injured, she can treat me immediately. But I'm still a bit reluctant to let her hands get blood on them.

"Also, Silphie, you'll follow behind me from now on. You can make moves, but be careful not to kill anyone unless absolutely necessary, understand?"

"Uh-huh"

She hesitated for a moment. Did she have the awareness to kill someone? Or did she have absolutely no concept of murder?

Although everything is prepared, I still feel a little uneasy.

Because I'm more worried about her safety than about her killing people.

"Rudy, leave Rudy's back to me!"

“Sylphie…”

Hilfi grabbed my left hand and looked at me with unwavering eyes.

"Yes, you must take good care of yourself too, Silphie."

……

The outside of the manor looked peaceful, with snow piled up on both sides of the road leading to the musical fountain inside. The plants inside were also quite well-arranged. If it weren't for the fact that the manor owner was that obese nobleman, one would have to admit that the manor owner had good taste.

Is that the house of that obese nobleman up ahead?

Wash your neck and wait for me!

Swish swish!

Accompanied by a dense whooshing sound, hundreds of arrows were being fired at us from the manor.

But you think I wasn't prepared?! Thomp!

I raised the "Arrogant Water Dragon King" and infused it with magic.

"Air blast!"

boom!

In an instant, all the arrows that were shot were blasted into dust and dissipated into smoke in the surrounding area.

"Come out! T.T. Thompson!"

I roared into the manor.

Just then, a fully armed man walked out of the manor. He had a Viking-like hairstyle; I remembered him.

Immediately afterwards, a force of over a hundred men followed him out.

"Go back, Ashrawi!"

The man with the Viking-style hair stuck his sword into the ground and said.

"I'll just pretend nothing happened."

Nothing happened?
