Chapter 48 Time For Punishment
The sound of snapping dry branches doesn't have the satisfying crispness I had imagined. Instead, it's a dull noise. At the same time, the expression on His Excellency's face contorts.
"――Hnnghhh."
What's wrong? You're a noble, aren't you? Endure it.
"Here we go. Here we go. Here we go."
"――Ggggaaahhh."
Three in quick succession, totaling four. I've had his fingers broken. They must not bend from the first joint, keep them straight sideways. It's quite a difficult method without much strength like I have now. Surprisingly, it's easy with my current muscle power. But bending a coin seems impossible.
"Does it hurt? Feel like talking? 'Middle Recover (Intermediate Healing Spell).'"
As soon as I check, the broken finger is instantly healed. Amazing, it heals like this? It quickly returns to normal after being bent in a strange direction. Surely, the pain is gone. By the way, I've confirmed that 'Recover (Healing Spell)' doesn't heal fractures.
"I-Isn't there someone here?"
"Hey, you know what? Isn't this place a soundproofed cottage? I've checked outside and there's no one there, and it's not too far from the mansion, right? It's just fitting for a "cottage" after all."
"--Pfft"
Oh, did Rosalier-san burst out laughing? Was it funny? My joke.
"So, you know about me, right? I'm Tatsuma, Ta-tsu-Ma. Tatsuma Soutome."
"Oh, so you're the one who killed my father—"
"Oh, now you bring it up? Did that old man die? But I heard it was an accident. Nelliza-san, the administrative officer assigned to Hero-sama, said not to worry because someone with the Healing Attribute magic was taking care of the treatment. Well, yeah, I felt the sensation of stepping on something, but it's not like it was my fault, right? Someone from this country summoned me forcibly, so it's their fault, isn't it?"
"Hero-sama... is that... you?"
Oh, I see. Rosalier-san doesn't know.
"I am originally not from this world. Of course, I am not a Hero-sama either. If I were a Hero-sama, I don't think I would have gone through such hardships... This country, you see, uses some kind of magic to 'summon a Hero' from another world, and I just happened to get caught up in that ritual. So I am the victim."
Ah, Rosalier-san is troubled.
"Look, Rosalia-san is in trouble, you know? How are you going to help her? If you are referring to the elderly man I accidentally stepped on, then it's completely irrelevant. If you all hadn't forcefully summoned me, I wouldn't have been involved. Your father, you know, wouldn't have died from being stepped on by me."
"I am aware of that. However, it would be dishonorable for him to have died from being stepped on by a mere ordinary person like you, who is not even a Hero."
Ah, so that's the truth. Do nobles have a reason to die? Looks like a deadlock, huh? If honor and formalities are involved, there's no way out.
"No, this won't do. Sorry, Rosalia-san. Lend me your knife."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, it's fine. To me, this is like using a river insect for a resurrection verification experiment."
The knife I received from Rosalia-san. Yeah, it looks like it can cut well.
"Do you know how we caught you guys?"
"I don't know."
"You don't even want to know. That's why you had to die once, you know."
"W-Well, that's..."
"Hey, since you tried to kill me, you must have been prepared to be killed, right?"
I once again stuffed the towel into the noble's mouth. Then, I stabbed the knife into his right shoulder. The noble let out a choked sound, but I didn't care about that.
"Since we're at it, shall we do some other verifications? What happens if the knife remains stabbed and then recovers? 'Middle Recover'"
This is interesting. The knife gradually rises up. As it comes out, even the blood soaked into the clothes disappears.
"Oh, so this is how it turns out. So, how will this place feel like?"
Just like that, I pushed as hard as I could into the noble's crotch using my current strength. Ugh, it's even more disgusting than that time. Something is leaking out.
"――Gggrhhh"
Just when I thought he was convulsing, he started foaming and his head turned sideways with a thud. It must be the agony of hell, but oh, I hate it, I absolutely don't want to experience it.
"Huh? Could it be... for real? It might be bad, 'Full Recover', did I make it in time?"
The consciousness of the nobleman who was rolling his eyes seems to have become clear, perhaps because the pain disappeared in an instant, and now he seems to have a frightened expression.
'In comics and stuff, there's that kind of depiction, but dying from shock after having your balls crushed is really likely possible? Scary, scary. Well, I can't let him die too easily—Wait, it smells bad. I can't take back what was leaked, huh? Wait, Regenerate (regeneration spell)"
Something interesting happened. The leaked pee is returning to the noble's body. The smell disappeared too. This is kind of wicked. Looks like he's in pain again. After a bit, his expression calmed down, so I stomped his groin again as hard as I could.
"――Guhh"
He's foaming and opening his mouth. Seems like he's about to die again.
"Hey, Kermiot-san or whatever. Your master seems to be dying again, okay? He doesn't has self-control. Is it okay? With a lord like this?"
The butler were looking this way. Oh, he leaked some pee. What a sloppy butler, this guy. Rosalier-san couldn't stand it and came closer to me from near the door. In this situation, can't this be useful? I approached Kermiot-san or whatever, touched his back.
"Um, like earlier... 'Regenerate (regeneration spell)'"
I cast regeneration on Kermiot-san just like when I did on the noble. He might be groaning, so it could be quite painful.
"Oh, I forgot."
I came to the noble, squatting down and getting ready. My left hand's fingers are on his carotid artery (neck), while my right hand is in an iron claw position.
"Here we go, 'Full Recover'. And also 'Regenerate'."
You know, I don't treat this noble in front of me as a human anymore. I think of him at the same level as a river insect or a shiny black oil insect. I don't feel any guilt at all. It's like no matter how many good deeds I accumulate from now on, I'm heading straight to hell, because I'm toying with lives this much.
The nobles's consciousness returns. Even what leaked from his groin is reversed as if time has been rewound.
"Did it hurt? It must have hurt, right? Earlier... So, how was it? What were your thoughts when you felt like you were about to die multiple times? Are you still trying to kill me?"
"..."
"Hey, you know? What have you been doing to my precious Rosalia-san? Are you enjoying manipulating her desperate situation? Huh? Answer me."
"..."
"The 'Magic Tool for Neutralizing Magic Stones,' right? Did you prepare the reward properly? Huh? What's the situation?"
"..."
"Answer me. If you stay silent, I'll crush your balls again."
"..."
"That Kermiot-san or whatever, this noble won't give any answers. Did you prepare the Magic Tool? If you don't answer honestly, I'll crush your important parts and make you feel like you're about to die too. So? What's the situation?"
"W-Well, no. We haven't received any instructions to prepare, so we haven't prepared."
"Oh, I see. So, in the end, it wasn't a lie, huh? You were trying to deceive me one way or another, huh? Just say it. Come on."
"..."
I put my weight on the noble's crotch. He may have memories of the pain, but is it because he was born a nobleman that he doesn't try to shake his head? I don't really understand.
"Geez, you're so selfish... Hey, can you read this?"
I took out a document from the inventory and held it up in front of him. His eyes are moving, so there's no doubt that he's reading it.
"This document says, 'In matters of conflict between the two countries, the decision-making authority is delegated to Tatsuma Soutome.' I wrote, 'It's okay to declare war,' you read the part with the signature, right?"
The noble nods in agreement.
"If I decide that way, Daioraden Kingdom will be in conflict with the entity that supports me. It was 'Ensgard Kingdom, Duke, Privia Zedanzork,' her counterpart's signature is there, right?"
Privia-san, you're from the royal family, huh? I was surprised too. Your husband is probably one of the princes, I guess.
"How about it? Do you still want to kill me? Do you want to deceive Rosalia-san? Do you want to go to war with the Ensgard Kingdom?"
The noble, shakes his head. Well, of course. Because of his selfishness, there is a possibility that an entire country could be destroyed. I have no intention of fighting. After all, I have three acquaintances in this country.
"In that case, should you go and take responsibility?"
Hello, we have other project about someone who has returned from an isekai. The main character is a hero who has defeated the Demon Lord.
