Derek declared,
「That’s why, Henry—I have no intention of making peace with you. I hate you.」
「W-Wait, I may be Henry on the outside, but inside, I’m a reincarnator!」
「And? That doesn’t change anything. Besides… if you awaken, you might become a troublesome enemy. So I’ll deal with you here and now.」
「!?」
D-Deal with me…?
He means—
「You’re going to… kill me?」
「That’s right. I’ll kill you right here. No one will find out if someone dies in a place like this. It’s perfect.」
「……」
He’s serious.
Haha.
I see.
I understand now.
This guy is scum.
Not Derek himself—but the reincarnator inside him.
The reason he framed me… was purely for his own selfish desires.
I won’t forgive him…
「Oh? Now there’s killing intent in your eyes.」
Derek sneered.
「But do you really think you can beat me? Right now, you’re nothing but a weakling.」
「…Tch.」
He’s right.
I’m weak.
I probably don’t stand a chance against him.
Derek smirked mockingly.
「Do you finally understand your place? Right now, you’re trash. No, Henry—your very existence is trash. You’re the lowest of the low, a piece of filth that would be better off dead.」
「Maybe the Henry in the game was, but I’m not the same person.」
「Oh? Did I say you could talk back? Trash doesn’t get a say. You should just shut up and wait for me to kill you.」
「……」
He’s looking down on me.
Isn’t there anything—anything at all—that can help me take him down?
The moment that thought crossed my mind—
A voice echoed in my heart.
(Use it…)
A woman’s voice.
(Use my power…)
I instantly knew where it was coming from.
The Spirit Gem!
It was speaking to me.
Was it because I was Henry?
I didn’t know how, but I could instinctively understand.
