Episode 150 – Glaceon vs Kay

Swords and swords collided with an elegant sword ringing. All around were frozen and charred corpses. Glaceon Winterheart, the next grand duke of the North who wields a demonic sword, and Kay of the Black Round Table, who sheds those attacks with a rapier.

At first glance, it would seem that they were fighting on equal footing, but the one with the upper hand was Kei of the Black Round Table.

“Hey little lady. I don’t even want to kill you, so why don’t you go back? I don’t even like killing in the first place…”

“Shut up. You guys are aiming for Werner-sama’s life, aren’t you?”

“I’ll tell you right away. I don’t give a damn about him. My friend wants to kill him anyway.”

“A friend…?”

“Ah, you guys don’t understand… Ugly bastards get along with ugly bastards… Isn’t it the duty of an ugly friend to achieve what an ugly friend wants to achieve?”

A woman with breathtakingly beautiful features, radiant blonde hair, and black tights that fit her body, Glaceon could not understand why such a person was at the black round table. A woman’s beauty is like a weapon. A woman with that kind of beauty would be able to live comfortably without entering the black round table.

“Why are you with an organization like the Black Round Table? With your looks and skills… I could have lived as much as I wanted in the sun.”

“Ha…? Yangjira…”

Kay sneered at Glaceon’s words, and then tore the tights covering her arm with the tip of the rapier. Then the current crackled and emitted a blindingly bright light. An electric current thousands or tens of thousands times that of a normal person was flowing through her body.

“Do you think you can live in the sun with a body like this? With a body abandoned by your parents… Do you think you can live with the light of the sun?”

“But there are many people in the world who can accept you without discrimination.”

Glaceon thought of her parents, Camellia, Airi, whom she was a little close to, and Werner, who met her eyes for the first time and affirmed her.

“There are people in the world who live uprightly and uprightly even though they live a more arduous and difficult life than you.”

“….under….”

“There are more people in the world who will embrace your flaws rather than attack them. I can say that because I was born as a vampire and a human.”

Because she was born neither as a vampire nor as a human, she knew the difficulties of her unique body. She had lived in despair since childhood and closed her heart to that fact. But because of Werner, who affirmed her in the beginning, she was able to come this far. It was because I knew that there were many people and vampires who affirmed her.

Glaceon pretended not to be, but she was the weakest among the women who had a relationship with Werner. So, I wanted to reach out.

“Shut up!!!”

However, it was Kay who shook off that touch. Even though it is possible to walk to the sunny side, she refused to take it. Keith shouted in a voice full of anger.

“Well, there are guys who stand upright even though they live a harder life than me…? I can’t do that! Even so, those bastards had someone to take care of them so that their hearts wouldn’t break!”

His voice was full of pain, anger, and hatred.

“Well, there are more people in the world who embrace flaws than attack them? I couldn’t! That’s what lucky bastards meet! I guess you could meet them! Truly unfortunate ones don’t run out of bread even when they’re hungry! Even if I break bones all over my body, no one will take care of me!”

She tore the tights she was wearing. If it wasn’t for the underwear of the same area as the underwear she was wearing underneath, she would have been naked. The cuts and surgical scars on her body explained how she lived.

“Well, you’re of mixed race, so you can say that? Say some fucking shit! You’re an aristocrat! Have you ever been dragged into a brothel by your paid parents?! Have you ever been dragged to prison?! Have you ever been gang-raped by guards?! Have you… ever been dragged like a dog to the scaffold…? I can’t hear the admonitions and moral lessons of lucky bastards!”

Then, Glaceon was unable to say anything. Even though she received a discriminatory look, she was always loved by her parents. Ever since I was born, I have not known the pain of those who are trapped in darkness.

“I’m just reluctant to kill. It’s not that I’m not particularly good at it.

“Unfortunately, I can’t.”

The Werner she had wanted since childhood was now by her side. I waited with tears for him to leave, but it was impossible for me to leave him on my own feet.

“Oh yeah? Then I’ll cook enough to keep you from dying.”

And it was very brief. Glaceon couldn’t bear to perceive what had happened. However, after that moment had passed, the only result left was a cut on his side and a painful electric current rushing through his whole body.

“Ha, did you avoid a fatal injury by dodging that moment? I respect you, really.”

Kei, whose whole body emitted electricity, was praising Glaceon with a voice of regret.

“Hey, didn’t you know the difference between skills at this level? I really hate killing people? I really hate killing because I have nightmares that night when I do murder.”

Of course, this was a contradiction, since half of the bandit corpses scattered around were killed by her attack. Glaceon stood up using the magic sword as a staff.

“It can’t be.”

“Oh, be stubborn too. You’re so stubborn that you won’t pull out the sword from your waist?”

Glaceon swallowed dry saliva. It was the sword that emitted cold air in his waist, the sword that Werner gave him as a gift. I could tell that it was a famous sword just by looking at the energy it exhaled, the grip, and the handle… but for some reason, I couldn’t pull out the sword. The scabbard, as if frozen, did not allow the sword to be drawn.

“Anyway, there’s a big contradiction in your words.”

“Contradiction? I’m sorry, but I don’t know difficult words…”

“Didn’t you say that you entered the Black Round Table because you were in pain? That you were born with a curse, that no one saved you, and that you tasted all the misfortunes of the world.”

“… What do you mean by that?”

“But isn’t that the land mage lord who received the title of Tristan? He lived as a magician, but he met the master who led him to the path of a mage. Instead of being cursed, he was endowed with magical talents, and all kinds of wealth and honor followed him. But why? … Did he enter the Black Round Table? Why do you call him friend?”

I thought it would be a huge contradiction. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was born with the greatest luck in the world, and he could not understand why he hated himself while considering him a friend.

However, contrary to Glessia’s thoughts, Kay remained silent. A lot of emotions were mixed in that silence. However, among the many emotions, only one emotion clearly revealed its color.

“You… will kill.”

fleshy.

“Without knowing how cruel the world was to him, how cruel the laws of this world were to him… You die here for talking your own way.”

Even when Kay berated himself, he was simply angry, and he had no murderous intent to the point of striking someone to death. The only exception was if it was something related to a friend.

Tristan and Pellinore, her friends, she did not hesitate to spew her murderous intentions on anything related to them. She was famous for not killing innocent people even within the Black Round Table, but she joined in killing Werner because of killing Pellinore.

But now that someone had insulted his other friend, Tristan, it was only natural that the murderous intent and rage he had been suppressing would explode.

“You know how to be angry for others. But why don’t you use that heart for others?”

Glaceon remembered what had happened in the Holstead estate. He remembered clearly how the man who lost everything by the Black Round Table threw down his own life for revenge.

Knowing how sad Werner was after hearing Count Holstead’s death, she too was enraged. She didn’t want to see Werner sad.

“I’m not soft enough to get angry for those who don’t even know the absurdity of the world.”

“I’ll correct you. That’s just being selfish.”

Glaceon grabbed the handle of the sword that emitted cold air.

Since the sword was a gift from Werner, it was an action that stemmed from the vague expectation that if he wielded it for him, he would be pulled out.

Then, a very clear and elegant sword sounded and the sword began to be pulled out.

And in that very brief moment, her consciousness was sucked into somewhere.
