How Did I Become a Great Prophet chapter 17
17 – Half the burden
Many years ago, when Akame, Sarameya, the swordsman, was still living a normal life.
At that time, Akame was living a truly happy life.
He was able to unleash his power and had an outstanding reputation as one of the three greatest swordsmen.
He was never short of money, and he was never short of money anywhere. It was because the name of the fire sword had such weight.
And, although it wasn’t a widely known fact, there were lovers who truly loved each other.
Unlike himself, who was ranked S, he was a B-class, but he was a superhuman who always worked hard to advance. A man who worked hard every day.
The two of them slowly became friends because they went around the dungeon together, and eventually became friends, and they continued their relationship until then.
And on the birthday of the third year since I dated him, the incident happened.
“Oh my brother, what’s the matter? Renting an entire restaurant like this? It wouldn’t have been easy!”
“hahahahaha…Today is a special day. I did my best for Akame!”
“Thank you oppa! This is really moving?!”
How can you not be impressed by a lover who even rented out a high-class restaurant and prepared several events to celebrate his birthday?
Akame was soaked in deep happiness.
“Akame, it’s already been three years since we met?”
“Hey~. Has that much time passed already? Time flies so fast, Brother Fujio!”
…Maybe because of that, she was unaware of the dark shadows that were slowly approaching her.
“It was long if it was long, and short if it was short. But it was long enough for me, Akame. For you to bring me into despair.”
“…What? What do you mean, brother?”
The moment she uttered those words, Akame staggered in shock as if her insides were being churned.
“This, this…What…”
“As expected, it should be called a fire sword… I can’t believe I finally got a response after drinking so much poison I bought from the ‘Poison Demon’.”
“f*ck…Don’t ask me what all this is about Brother Fujio!!”
Akame shouted, suppressing the blood that was about to spurt with her pale face.
“Are you calling me oppa even after being like that? After all, you’re a great guy. That’s why I hated him even more.”
Akame, who was gritting her teeth at Inui Fujio’s words with her stiff face, suddenly realized that the people here were not only herself and her Fujio.
Unlike before, when she had a happy time and completely relaxed, her body was tense and her nerves were sharpened by loneliness, and it was only then that she realized that the people surrounding the restaurant and the staff inside the restaurant were not ordinary people. Realized that
…No, maybe I tried to ignore it.
“Do you know the feeling of a huge mountain standing right next to you, as if you couldn’t grab a hair on it no matter how hard you tried? “
“What… Bullsh*t…!! I… I…!!”
Among the current B-class, the most powerful superhuman is Fujio, and half of the credit belongs to Akame.
I liked Fujio, who always worked hard, so I taught Fujio and got along with each other through sparring with the hope that he would reach the level he wanted and help him along the way.
If there was an elixir or an artifact suitable for Fujio, he would take care of it.
For his efforts for his lover, Fujio always smiled and thanked him, and always did his best. Their relationship could not be better than this, thought Akame.
By the way, Fujio had such feelings inside…?
“Keugh…I always did my best…For my brother…!!”
“I didn’t want to look down on even that kind of help!! Are you sympathizing?! Did you patronize me and get satisfaction!? The subject that always dared to look down on me…!!”
At that, instead of mingling her words with him any more, Akame contorted her face in anger and gnashed her teeth.
Even though her resentment would come back as resentment, she had lived her life thinking that her grace would also come back as grace, so now Inui Fujio’s words pierced her heart even more.
“Inui Fujiooooo!!!!”
Chankaak!!!
So Akame could not hold back any longer and swung her sword.
Kooung! Kaaang!!!
That blow was blocked by the arm of the giant who broke through the wall.
“You…?!”
“Hey! It’s been a while. Sarameya Akame?”
A gigantic man with a stern look tattooed all over his body.
Toyoda Yamatake, one of Japan’s S-rank superhumans who also had a bad relationship with Akame himself, and one of the two major mountain ranges in Japan’s underworld, the ‘big boss’.
“I’m so relieved to see that you haven’t been doing well. When it rains, the scars you carved on my chest still inflame!!”
In the past, he was also a superman with a history of getting into a fight with Akame and losing.
Quaang!!
Toyoda Yamatake charges like a bull with destructive power befitting his large size.
“No matter how much I was alone, I was fortunate that such a good helper showed up just in time. I was also promised a good position.”
“I didn’t like the way you always acted foolishly, but it worked out!! Today is your memorial day!!”
The betrayal of a lover whom he truly loved, and the return of an evil fate.
“aaa!!!!!”
Akame, who vented her anger more violently than ever before, cried out desperately and attacked them without even thinking about her future affairs or retreat.
After a fight so fierce that the city was half destroyed, Akame, befitting his reputation as a fire sword, took down all of Yamatake’s crew, took one of Yamatake’s legs and one of Fujio’s eyes, and vomited his spirit to take out his body alive. Being poisoned by strong poison, I became a half-dead man like now because I dealt with an S-rank strongman and even his subordinates—-
“Well, if it hadn’t been for the heavy snowfall a few days ago, I would still be living in my hiding place, waiting for the day I would die. hahahahaha!”
“……”
ㅡ is Sarameya When I heard Akame’s story, I broke out in a cold sweat.
‘Wait…This, it looks like you’re getting into a lot of trouble…?’
I don’t know who it is, but even an S-rank superman who is said to be a tycoon from the Japanese underworld is involved. Even the person in front of me is an S rank superman!
It was a situation where I couldn’t go without the pressure.
“At this point, even the teacher would have noticed…I want revenge. I want revenge on the lover who betrayed me and the son of Toyoda Yamatake who helped her.”
Akame still smiled and said, but she couldn’t hide the sticky and eerie life that flowed out of her.
It even seemed like black light was pouring out of her missing eyes. She said it was filthy scary anyway.
And facing that dreadful thing head-on, I…I was completely frightened with my body rigid.
“Teacher… Can you tell me a way for me to succeed in my revenge? Even a way that would cost me my life would be fine.”
…No, what am I supposed to do if you look at me with a smile and say that!
“Of course, I am well aware that this is a difficult and dangerous job. That’s why I prepared enough blessings for you this time, right?”
When Akame laughed, I felt something ominous.
Damn it, what the hell is that bokchae…!!
“I sold my favorite sword for the introduction fee, and I don’t have much left. So I thought. What is the most precious thing I can give you right now? So, there is only one answer? I am an S rank superman and a ‘hwasword’. I am. Sarameya Akame is the greatest fortune I can give you.”
Ah, it’s cold. It feels like a stone is falling on my chest.
“If I succeed in taking revenge after hearing your fortune… I will be loyal to you and serve you for the rest of my life. If I succeed in taking revenge and I don’t survive or fail… I’ll give you all the money you have as a down payment!”
No, that’s too extreme, damn it!!
“Of course… It’s dangerous and difficult… I understand if you don’t want to help me…”
And I’m going crazy because I’m burdened with what I have right now, but a person with an S rank superhuman who is the 3rd swordsman will come under me out of nowhere?! A foreigner who can’t even communicate!
Isn’t this just like a disaster rolling in by the vine! Everyone seems to be misunderstanding something, but I’m just an ordinary person who was an ordinary unemployed until a while ago!!
…But, having said this, I can’t even refuse… There is a scary atmosphere and Akame’s determination to come to me.
But, more than that, the biggest reason why I can’t refuse this job… Is that after hearing Akame’s story, I felt sorry for her and wanted to help her.
Haaa…
I let out a big sigh with my eyes tightly closed.
“That… First of all, you don’t need all that stuff, so come over here and sit comfortably…”
Haa…I think there’s a 100% chance that you’ll regret this later, but it seems like the burden will increase enormously…What can I do?
Whether it’s because of sympathy or fear, it seems like you can’t just let go of the person in front of you…
“That, you mean…?!”
“Let me tell you. So sit back.”
“Thank you sir!!!”
Well, whether it’s a burden or a problem, isn’t it something the future me will have to handle? hahahaha.
Now that this has happened, I have no choice but to leave everything to the future me…!!
Cheer up! Future me!! I’m always cheering you on!!
