“Shut up!! To think you would actually, in front of all people, lose to this brat! I don’t need weak bitches like you in my team! Right now I really want to kill you fuckers! If you’re going to surrender then you might as well die!”
At those words, Ryouma remembered something from the past. Sacchi’s words right now were similar to the behavior of an authority in the company that his deceased mother had insulted. Realizing that, an unspeakable displeasure crawled through Ryouma’s body. It’s not like Sacchi hasn’t done anything to Ryouma. If I must say it then right now Sacchi is trying to find fault with Ryouma. But, that’s just it. Between the two of them, that’s all there is.
However, right now, Ryouma has the urge to thoroughly tear Sacchi apart. The reason for that is the repugnance and hate that he had continuously piled up for the authorities and the company employees in his past life that he had forgotten since coming here. But of course, Sacchi had nothing to do with that. Understanding that, Ryouma kept his urge. But that was extremely unpleasant.
Furthermore, Ryouma is as calm as he can understand the difference in ability between them. However, what that means is that even if Sacchi were to attack with all the members of the Fang of Orbtem, he would deal with them without question. And that prediction was correct.
Although the members of the Fang of Orbtem are D Rank up, that is not because of their own individual strengths but because of their number and the quality of their equipment. The only ones that actually have ability are Sacchi and several of the cornerstones of the Fang of Orbtem. Moreover those people are Rank C. If Ryouma were to seriously go at it, he would be able to deal with them easily. To put it bluntly, there isn’t a single factor for Ryouma’s defeat.
However, strangely enough, it was that calm judgement that became one of the factors that loosened Ryouma’s bound of reason. If the one here right now was someone that he absolutely could not win against, then he would have made a decision to withdraw. Even if it was only dangerous and he could actually win, he would still make the decision to put up his guard and try to avoid fighting.
But, Ryouma can win. Easily too. Because of that all thoughts of running away ceased. Right now, just keeping himself from picking a fight with this man has already pushed his reason to its brink.
And in that brink, Sacchi’s words reached him and… it broke his last sense of reason.
“If you just hand that brat over to us we can settle everything peacefully. It’s better even for that brat’s sake, right? I heard it you know? That brat is being raised by some noble. From now on he’s going to be kept until he dies, and if the nobles get tired of him they’ll just throw him away. If he does something poorly, won’t they just throw him away? Rather than being treated like a tool by some noble, it’s better for him to go with us and live more freely…”
“Shut up.”
While Sacchi was speaking loudly, all of the sudden Ryouma cut him with a voice that carried a heavy aura of intimidation. Hearing that all of the sudden, everything quietened down.
“Aren’t you saying something really convenient for you? What do you know about those people?”
“What? You mad that I’m making fun of your owner?”
“Ahh, it’s getting to my head. The one who treats people like tools is you isn’t it?”
Ryouma’s eyes were already clearly enraged. Because of that he spoke loosely to Sacchi as his body gave of an unusual pressure. Sacchi, finding fault in that, yelled at Ryouma.
“You arrogant brat… the only thing a bitch like you needs to do is obey me! To begin with, what’s up with that way of talking you bitch? I’m the leader of the Fang of Orbtem, a C Rank adventurer, Sacchi! A brat like you shouldn’t be talking like you’re looking down on me!! A brat like you who is always talking politely shouldn’t suddenly talk like that! Talking like that doesn’t make you scary! Don’t think you can scare me with something like that!!”
