“So it is because of you…”
“I-If you are not here…”
“It’s all your fault…”
Those weren’t sounds of humans anymore. What came out of their mouth seemed to be the congregation of hate filled with malice.
The words of denial came out of her mouth unconsciously.
“N-No! Listen to me, it’s not like this!”
“Shut up! You bitch! You are the source of all evil!”
The survivors started swearing at her. When she realized it, even the calm Mr Galeo was also cursing at her. Hatred poured down at her from all sides.
Why didn’t they trust her who came forth to help them, but side with the devil? They should realize something was off if they think about it a little. Why were they blinded by the words and sights in front of them, and fail to see the true nature of things—
“... No, it’s not my fault! I didn’t want anyone to get hurt…”
Shut up. It’s all your fault. It’s because of you. Because you are here. The Mazoku said so too. Murderer. Death god.
The voices that entered her ears kept blaming her and made it her fault.
“I-I’m not wrong!! Why, why can’t everyone understand!?”
Lefille screamed with all her might. Maybe this was the emotions she had been suppressing in her heart. Rajas who saw this scene laughed heartily.
“Fuhahah! You humans are so dumb! When something happens, you only know how to curse, swear and demean others! After peeling away the exterior, you are beings that are uglier than maggots!”
After enjoying this happiness, Rajas turned to the Mazoku around him—
“— Do it”
He ordered the massacre.
“—Tch!!”
His words made her heart that was wounded by the accusations strengthen. Even though her face was wet with her vexed and painful tears, she endured it and gritted her teeth.
Lefille won’t let him do as he pleased. As she was thinking that—
“Huh—?”
Even though her heart took a step forward, Lefille’s body did not respond. Her power that allowed her to run and leap was not conveyed to her legs, her usual swiftness was gone. Her feet weren’t moving as well as she imagined.
Her movement dulled. There wasn’t any doubt that she had slowed down.
As for the reason, it’s because of the gaze of the crowd that made her unable to move. Yes, it wasn’t from Rajas or the Mazoku around her, but because of her fellow humans. Their accusations bounded her.
