Chapter 14: An Unfulfilled Wish ~Rose’s POV~

I couldn’t tell which way was up or down. The broken fragments of my shattered body danced in the air among a cloud of dust.

“Ah...”

Before I knew it, I was on the ground staring up at the sky. That was when I finally understood that a soaring rock had blown me away. I tried to stand back up immediately. So long as I was on my feet, I could keep fighting. I could keep protecting what was dear to me. Sadly, it was only then that I noticed.

“Aah...”

I had nothing from the waist down. Two rocks had hit me, and one of them had gone right into my waist. Brittle from the crack already there, it shattered completely, sending my lower half flying off somewhere. I couldn’t restore this kind of damage on the spot.

Even so, if I had at least one arm... The moment I shifted my focus to that thought, I realized that I couldn’t move my right arm. The other rock had crashed into my bicep, pulverizing everything in the region of my shoulder. I couldn’t even make it budge.

As I came to understand my current situation, footsteps drew nearer to me, signaling the end.

“How surprising. To think you’re still alive.”

It was Ottmar. The other knights weren’t with him, but a puppet remained by his side. This puppet was far larger than the ones I’d broken. Had he created another one?

“I’ll give you my honest praise. I didn’t think you’d exhaust me this much.”

He looked somewhat pale. The fight had apparently taken a lot out of him. Creating these puppets must’ve taken a significant amount of mana.

“But now it’s over.”

The puppet leaned over and grabbed me by the collar. Having lost half my weight, it easily lifted me into the air. I couldn’t resist it. It then held my tattered body up high for all to see, and Ottmar held his naked blade toward the heavens.

“Behold! Evil has been vanquished!” he yelled, puffing out his chest with pride as he boasted of his achievement to all present. “Righteousness has prevailed!”

A cheer of joy broke out over the area.

“The Holy Order has avenged us!”

Because of the hard battle they’d been forced into, the taste of victory was all the sweeter. A shock wave of delight spread through the Maclaurin Provincial Army like a bomb blast.

“Praise the Holy Order!”

“Glory to the Maclaurin Provincial Army!”

Their exaltations resounded all around me. Held up high, I could see far and wide.

“Righteousness, is it?” I muttered to myself.

Ottmar was likely the only one to hear me. He turned up to look at me.

“Did you say something?” he asked.

“Not really. I just reaffirmed the fact that I’m a monster after all.”

The reason such an obvious thought came to mind was because I couldn’t understand. These people, gushing about their own righteousness, were incomprehensible to me.

“Unlike you, I know nothing of justice,” I said. “I just wish to live a quiet life with those dear to me.”

The many humans surrounding me were acting so proud of the justice they believed in.
