Black Assassin Partial Release
Finally, finally! This day has finally come.
When I think back, before the day our fate changed, when I gained [Blessing of the Sun God], I spent every day striving to make her, Aina, my wife. Precisely because we weren’t able to freely marry, I used that fact as my heart’s support.
Even at the school to raise strong soldiers in the Imperial City, when I was oppressed, despised and envied by many of the nobility.
Even when noble daughters approached me with ulterior motives, sticking to me, making me feel terrible.
In order to increase the veterans even just a little bit, even when I had to drench my whole body of the enemy’s blood on the battlefield.
Even that time when I cut off the head of a young soldier, crying while running away.
I was able to overcome everything because Aina was there..
I was able to fight because I knew Aina was living in this world. I couldn’t lose.
The nobility that was overcome with jealousy, was faced with a forgiving force.
The noble daughter with ulterior motives, I addressed her with a coating, firm look and words that were lies.
When I was paralyzed on the battlefield, only concentrating on killing the enemy.
Even if they begged for their life in front of me, I was able to kill without a thought.
.
Only Aina was the pillars of my existence.
My heart had been protected by Aina’s presence.
That’s right, on those days there were many things that I was scared of.
Born as only a farmer, the me that was alive, I was living too comfortably at the center of the country.
Things that you couldn’t even think of in the village, were common in the Imperial City. The feeling of the bad atmosphere, hardened by lies replied with lies was definitely at the Imperial City.
Therefore, in order to get Aina, whom I can trust from the very bottom of my heart, to bring Aina as a lover to the Imperial City, I had continued to fight.
And finally, my efforts rewarded, the king allowed us marriage.
I have obtained the right to make Aina my wife..
That said, we’re not going to marry immediately, since such procedures and preparation took time, that’s why I’m going to pick her up today.
So I hurried, even just a little, and can’t keep my feelings suppressed. I’m currently just over the field, riding my horse.
On my way, I encountered a flame-wielding “Fokkurufu”, and a bear that has the head of a boar, a “Rough Raccon Boar - Bo" I decapitated the head in one go, and left the corpse behind.
I think even the bones of the corpse wouldn’t be left by monsters, and even if it becomes undead, it would hardly be a threat if it’s missing it’s limbs and neck.
By eliminating the threat of “Tachifusagaru” and other such monsters, I hurry in order to arrive early even the smallest amount of time in the village where I was born.
And at the verge of reaching the village, there is an unpleasant smell.
It was a smell of blood that I was so accustomed to.
While I was thinking, “Why the smell of blood?”, I had a bad feeling.
My premonitions had hit the mark.
When I entered the village, I saw the sight I have gotten so accustomed to, and the trembling of the deepest of my heart spread.
Only half of a head was on the ground, it was Ajiru, a hunter. He is a middle-aged man who had a bright personality, and often lifted the atmosphere, but now it had the expression of anguish, sinking in a sea of internal organs. His eyes were widely opened, holding a grudge, and was overflowing with tears of blood.
Embracing only half their bodies, a mature couple is dead, D'occi and Buhr. They were two people that fought a lot on a daily basis, but it’s not hard to understand, if you look at the corpses, they were really in love. Their facial expressions were peaceful, which comforted me.
A girl that just turned 10 years old, Ayla, has a hardened face with expressions of pain and despair, the only thing remaining is her right arm, full of scratches and is the only part not cut thousands of times, barely connected by the skin and trapezius muscle. And in the small hand of Ayla’s is clasped the hand of a smaller child than her own, she might have been running up until the point when both she and her younger brother, Egeru, died. Only the held arm, up to the elbow, remained, so I could only guess if it belonged to Egeru or not. On the roof of the only pharmacy, there is a woman who has her intestines spread, everything gone below the lower pelvis, she is Sharei. She had just married Mujia of my three younger brothers last year, even though there were reports that she loved herself, she’s dead while smiling feelings of hatred. Meat chunks, similar to human beings at the bottom of the corpse, may be two children.
