To Deprive a Deprived Person Chapter 263: A never-ending nightmare

Chapter 263: A never-ending nightmare

TDADP chapter 263: A never-ending nightmare
It is the 40th day since the pledge between Yuu and Balue. In front of Yuu's mansion, which you can see as you walk west from Comer City, you can see Balue with his vassals and escorts.
"Is this Satou´s mansion......"
"Be careful with your words. It's no exaggeration to say that this is already under the control of King Nameless"
"I, I know"
The careless words of the vassals are noted by the man who proposed to discuss with Yuu to Balue.
"From here on out, I'll negotiate, so I'll ask the others to be quiet
"Do as he says"
The vassals, who were dissatisfied, nodded and agreed after they were ordered by Balue. In front of the mansion, Nepora, a demon and Grafira, wolf woman, were waiting. Next to Grafira, Ekaterina, a shadow wolf, lays down and looks at Balue´s party.
"What can I do for you?"
The two greet with courtesy and Nepora asks. Balue's vassals thought inwardly that they were like maids who served common people, but they were angry and silent because of the above. And those who were caught in gold and contracted escorts knew very well who owned this mansion. They muttered in their heart that they would finish this work without incident, knowing how dangerous it was and that they couldn't stand their teeth.
"Thank you very much for this wonderful greeting"
The man who was entrusted with everything knelt on the spot without worrying about his knees getting dirty and gave a polite greeting to Nepora and the others.
"I heard that King Nameless is at home today and I visited him with my Lord Balue Voli Nox from the royal capital. Anyhow, the distance from the royal capital to Comer is long, so I apologize for the large number of people who escort me during the trip and who take care of the Lord's surroundings"
Nepora and her colleagues were confused by the man who greeted them so politely that they were called demi-humans by humans and above all, why they knew Yuu was the king of the Nameless.
"Don't you know?"
The man asks as if he had seen through the inner heart of Nepora.
"Your Lord Yuu Satou has formed an equal alliance with His Majesty Clemens Claus Ning Barchet, Udon Kingdom´s King, as King of Nameless Kingdom"
「There is still a formal announcement」, the man added. Nepora and Grafira who are completely unaware of this are even more upset.
"Can you please convey this to King Nameless?"
How should we respond? When Nepora is wondering if she should go back to the mansion and ask Yuu or Marifa, Tin, a fallen demon girl, walks from the mansion.
"Welcome for coming all the way here"
Nepora and Grafira, who know their usual appearance, are stunned by Tin, who greets them politely with courtesy.
"It is said that my Master will meet Voly-sama"
「Oh」, the vassals patted their chests for the time being.
"However, he will only meet Voly-sama. If you don't mind, please wait here or return to Comer City"
Before the vassals protest, 「That's stupid」――
"Thank you very much. I would like to express my gratitude for accepting our sudden visit while we haven't made an appointment in advance"
The lower-ranked man among the vassals bowed deeply toward Tin. And when he turns to Balue.
"Balue-sama, that's all we can do. Please pay attention to the time"
"U......Umm"
Although he had the feeling that he would be left alone in the enemy line, there was not much time left for Balue. Will he pay compensation to the Adventurer's Guild by noon? If Yuu and Balue don't abandon the pledge after mutual agreement, Balue will literally die.
"Master, I brought Voly-sama"
In the living room of the mansion, there were only two people, Yuu and Marifa. Nina and Lena are freed from the hellish labyrinth and go out to Comer City with Namari and Momo.
"Ah, then get out of the living room"
"Didn't you hear Master´swords Tin, Nepora? Go outside"
There is no Grafira here because she is watching Balue's vassals and escorts waiting outside the mansion.
"No, Marifa you also get out"
"M, Me too!?"
For some reason, Tin stares at Marifa happily and is stared at by Marifa. Marifa, who pledges absolute allegiance to Yuu, follows Yuu's words and goes outside the mansion with Tin.
"Nepora, Tin"
""Yes, elder sister""
Marifa takes out a gold coin from the item pouch.
"Just some seasonings were running out. Buy them at Comer"
"Eh～. But elder sister, Melanie and others are going shopping. Elder sister is already out of focus――it hurts"
Tin, who has returned to her usual tone, is struck by Marifa before she can say the word. It's like who you're going to get your hands on right away.
"Please use your pocket money for change"
"But～"
"By the way, go to a sweets shop"
"What should I do～"
"You're exempt from the rest of my work today"
"Ye～s"
"Tin, what are you doing to elder sister?"
"It's okay. Then Nepora, I'll leave the rest to you"
"Yes"
Marifa begins to move when the two are gone. Along the way, she sees Ran sleeping on a tree in the garden and Koro lying on the lawn, but Marifa tells them to keep quiet. When she moves to a place facing the living room, she keeps a distance where her ears can pick up the sound so that Yuu won't notice.
"Here it is――"
"What are you doing, elder sister?"
Marifa, who was about to scream involuntarily, hurriedly closed her mouth with her hand.
"What are you doing?"
"I was curious about elder sister, so I left shopping to Nepora. Rather, Master told us to go out, but can you eavesdrop on this place? Even if master scolds me later, Tin can't protect elder sister and won't do it"
Tin stood behind Marifa as to how she slammed Nepora.
"Master ordered us to leave the living room. I'm doing what he ordered, so there's no problem"
Yuu ordered to leave because there are times when Marifa and the others shouldnt hear what is said, so why not eavesdrop from outside the mansion? And even if Tin stared at her, Marifa didn't seem to stop eavesdropping without being afraid.
"A, As you see. Please destroy the pledge! No, let me do it!!"
The figure clinging to Yuu's feet doesn't seem to be the most powerful aristocrat in the Udon Kingdom.
"No"
"Why!?"
"From the beginning, I decided that I would never forgive you"
"Gold......? Oh, I swear allegiance to you! I won't go against you from now on! Yes, that's right! If you and I join hands, it's not a dream to rule the Ream continent, let alone the Udon Kingdom. You have power and I know how to reach out to influential people all over the Ream continent and how to control the country and the people!!"
"Maybe"
With an eerie smile, Balue murmured, 「That's right!」
"Huu, Huhahaa! If we team up, there are no enemies!!"
"But not good"
"Why!? Isn't that mutually beneficial? I don't know why the amount of money paid from the concession I hold is huger than the amount of compensation once!? No, I understand!!"
"Because you start the fight"
"What......are you saying?"
The time limit for Balue was approaching every moment. Already the sun was about to reach overhead, noon.
"Aa......aaa............ti, time......please......the pledge, let me destroy the pledge!"
"The village of Ressel, where I lived, is a small village in the countryside in the mountains. There were a lot of lonely people in the mountains and grandmother often lamented with a sad face. Surprisingly, they were released without being tied up or sacked even if they were caught"
Yuu doesn't care about Balue that he can't afford in time for a sudden long story.
"Do you know why they were released without acquittal even if they get caught? Yes, because you were the owner of a goddamn shit"
"So......is that it? Was I resented for such a thing?"
"Ah? That's not right. Well, the lonely people thought you would kill them when you saw them, but when you actually found them, you killed them"
"T......Then?"
"You attacked the dark elf village"
Yuu's voice gradually begins to anger.
"Wh......Which dark elf village?"
"You don't remember each one because you attacked too much, shitty bastard"
"Y, You......I know there's a dark elf among your slaves. Is that it? That's it? I apologize. Let me apologize! Yes! I will help find the dark elf I sold!! I didn't think it would be very much for me to enslave dark elves!"
"Hey, are you making a fool of me? YYou know who the nobles who attacked the dark elf village are, the village where Marifa was and sold them as slaves, you're saying it, right?"
"Wa, Wait!! I know the aristocrats who sold them off!! I will help you――"
"They are dead. All of them......"
Balue knew well how often the aristocrats who sold off their slaves had tastes and habits that made them want to turn their eyes away and how often they bought new slaves.
"You know that, don't you? I didn't want to forgive you from the beginning. Oh, yes. Your friends sent it first......so don't worry."
「Where?」 was never asked by Balue. More time was approaching to pay compensation.
"Th......That's why? Just because I attacked the dark elf, that filthy demi-human village? Why should I, a great aristocrat, encounter this kind of thing!?"
Balue was serious about himself and he thought that he wasn't bad.
"Isn't it okay!! When one or two demi-human villages are destroyed......gyaaaa......o, ouch? Ti......Time......please the contract......c......cancel it......"
The contract magic contained in the pledge is activated at Balue who has finally reached the time limit. While suffering from inescapable pain, it deprives Balue´s life.
"Guu......gurujii......jinita......gunai......he......lp......"
Among the aristocrats who serve the Udon Kingdom, the end of Balue Voli Nox, who is the head of the Nox family with the oldest bloodline, was a tragic thing that dies while scratching the whole body.
"Elder sister, what's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?"
Marifa, who was listening to the story outside the mansion, squats down. Tin is surprised at the frail appearance that cannot be imagined from Marifa´s usual appearance and rubs Marifa's back.
"Hey. Why are you crying, elder sister?"
Tin kept rubbing Marifa's back, who was crying forever.
-------------------------------------------------- ----------
Later, a funeral of Balue was held quietly at the graveyard of the royal capital, Tencassi. It was a small funeral with so few attendees that it was hard to believe that it was the man who boasted the best assets on the Ream continent. And there are no relatives of Balue among the attendees. In the turmoil, many of the Nox family's relatives were removed from the title by execution or felony and were no longer aristocrats. The few remaining relatives had already disappeared from the royal capital for fear of retaliation. It is uncertain whether they have returned home safely. After all, the pledge signed between Yuu and Balue made all of Balue's assets into Yuu's property. Even relatives can't touch it.
"I was able to show my face well"
William, the head of the Papal family, speaks to Yuu. The voice was clearly angry and the expression was steep.
"I'm involved. I'm attending the funeral"
"My nephew and friends are dead"
"That´s good"
"What's good!"
"Are you not taking any medicine today? Your emotions are revealed"
The eyes of the attendees gather at Yuu and William.
"Because you cry to King Udon, only your nephew and friends are cremated"
Looking straight at William's eyes, Yuu looks back at William.
"What......by no means you......"
"Why didn't you think it was different only for your nephew and friends in the Udon Kingdom, where burial is a custom? Did you think I'd forgive the other aristocrats once they died? I'm a King who is equally allied with the Udon Kingdom. Be careful of your words''
Realizing the astonishing truth, King Udon and the Balls stood past William, who was stunned.
"Hi, King Nameless. I want you to stop harassing William-kun too much"
"I think he's kinder than you"
Balls muttered in his heart, 「For certain」.
"How about? I would like to hold a dinner party and officially announce the alliance"
"Be careful. Do you think it ’s fun to eat a meal with an old man who isn’t like me?
There is no need to make a large-scale announcement. It's enough to send paper to other countries"
"Don't get tangled up. Then I want to talk about the share."
"Share? No"
King Udon and Balls are expressionless as if they were struck by emptiness.
"The rights to mineral resources and public works interests in the 『Ore Fort』 labyrinth, which was monopolized by Balue, would have returned to the Udon Kingdom"
"Are you willing to monopolize the huge assets that the Nox family has accumulated?"
"Do you think I would have eliminated the trash that had been nesting in the Udon Kingdom for free. Don't say anything disgraceful"
"Did you hear that, Balls-kun? There was a ridiculous king"
"Isn't he as good as His Majesty?"
Balls calmly put in a tsukkomi to King Udon, who lamented the exaggeration.
--------------------------------------------------
Balue awakens in the dark. He has no idea how big the room is because he can't see it well. Balue's body seemed to be crucified and even though he could move his fingers, he couldn't move his arms and legs, no matter how much strength he used.
"Fa......Father......is it you?"
He heard a voice from the darkness.
"Who is it? Where is this?"
Perhaps his eyes are getting used to the darkness, Balue can see faintly in the room.
"You......Bugsy? Where is this? Someone――hiii"
Balue screams at the terrible appearance of Bugsy in the dark.
"It's your fault! We're having this kind of thing!!"
"I......I won't forgive you! Lord Balue, why we!!"
"Thanks to you, we are like that! Agaa!? It hurts! It's painful!! Someone, finish it!!"
It wasn't just his son, Bugsy, who was there. Marquis Fechi, Viscount Sospiro and other Balue faction aristocrats, Lawrence people, and Bern Company workers were all in line. How many hundreds are there? In the large room, they were restrained and tortured in various positions. No, those who continued to receive were lined up.
"Father, Father~, please help me~!"
"Shut up! You, the son of Balue, are also guilty!"
"Gu, Gurujii......how long will it last?"
It was a scene that seemed to be hell. Suddenly the room becomes bright. Balue closed his eyes strongly to the glare.
"Hey, I made you wait"
"Yo, You....."
Balue glares at the figure of Yuu with Torcha with hateful eyes.
"Ooh! Please, is it enough? Release me!"
"Please! Be merciful!"
"I will reward you! Please forgive me!"
"It's noisy. Shut up"
Torcha looked down, like an owner who was ashamed of an undisciplined pet. However, when she suddenly raised her face, she was holding a needle in her hand, a long and thick needle like a tatami needle and a thick thread like an octopus thread.
"D, Dont! Dama――guaamuuu......"
"Stop it, stop it! Higuuuaaaa"
Torcha sewed the mouths of the noisy ones one after another. Sweat floated on Torcha's forehead as if she had finished one job and she extended her right hand toward Yuu and urged him to continue.
"Did you think it was over? I can't end it to that extent, you robbed Marifa of everything"
"Why......why am I alive!?"
"You´re dead. I just revived you as an undead with my 『Undead Magic』. There are also those who are there. Do you know? There are various ways to use 『Undead Magic』. The influence of the caster. Instead of being able to receive and become stronger, the undead disappear as soon as the caster dies, the undead that is subordinate but has a certain degree of free will and accepts only simple commands but acts for a long time with magic power. Well, the success rate depends on the ability of the caster. Sadly, the success rate is higher for scraps like you. But rest assured. It's been a while since you died now, so it's easy for me to succeed"
Balue couldn't agree with Yuu's words at all.
"The guys here are revived as a little special undeads. They have no power, but I double their pain sensations――it's hard to give them five senses, right?"
Balue doesn't want to know that. How can Balue escape from here? He's been spinning his head since before, but no matter how much he thinks about it, no answer comes out.
"――You're wondering how long you have? Well, even if I, the caster, die right now, don't worry because I've put in enough magic power to have you live for a hundred years"
Those whose mouths were sewn screamed silently. Given that Balue will be tortured for a hundred years in such a hellish place, it's only natural to be upset.
"I had to do my best to make you so happy. Oh yeah. Torcha here is someone who cares about things, so even if you break, she can heal you as much as she wants.
While saying that, Yuu, who left the rest to Torcha, walks toward the door.
"Wait! Wait! Don't go!! Don't leave me in such a place!! Please――gubaaaaa...... no......"
A smiling Torcha blocks Balue that stops Yuu and a child who receives a new toy begins to play like a frolic. Balue´s nightmare has just begun. And it won't end.
