Chapter 14: A merchant

Minato killed a bob-cut guy with his magic circle.

It was... way too easy to kill.

First of all, Minato's magic circles were unknown to pretty much everyone. Only people from the eastern continent would understand what Minato wrote with his golden mana, which was less than 1% of the whole universe's population.

After all, Earth was not as big as worlds with dungeons and mana!

"I wanted to slap him, and I somehow added [Kill] to it," Minato chuckled, then dropped the lifeless body.

Looking at their comrade, the group flinched and took a few steps back.

Alas, no one could run away from Minato as he had his wife and her sister keeping things the way he wished.

One of them stuttered, "W-What did you do?"

Minato's Kill sucked out the bob-cut guy's vitality.

It wasn't a quick process, so it looked like the worst torture.

That man had wailed and thrashed in Minato's grasp until his last breath.

It left others horrified, and they really hoped they would be able to return to their home.

"I killed him," Minato said, but his face remained absent-minded.

He told it to himself and kept himself conscious of all changes the new world brought to him. Some eluded him, but Minato was well aware of a few as well.

He shifted his eyes to them, and "One of you will survive. All you have to do is pass this dead elephant's body."

After those words rang out, the group forgot about friendship and rushed at the elephant's dead body.

To maximize their chances of survival, all plotted, to no avail.

Minato appeared before one of them, and he let out his punch.

"W-What was that?!" A man cried as the sharp wind passed through his cheek. It drew a clean line on his skin, and blood oozed out.

Minato squinted his eyes, "How many women have you wounded?"

The man flinched at Minato's words, knowing that the Overlord alluded to what they'd wanted to do.

He bit his lips and replied while trying to keep his emotions in check, "No one."

That was a blatant lie. Minato didn't need any power to see through, "I see."

His second punch didn't miss the target, and the man's head blew up.

Minato killed another man shortly after. He knew that no one was a saint here, including himself and his family.

However, comparing his deeds to what these men did, Minato yet again felt better, and he smiled at the three of them behind the dead body, "Who was the first?"

His question started a loud dispute between friends.

"I was first! You can ask your women!" That man was indeed the first.

His friend didn't think so, and he wanted to alter the reality, "He lies! Just look at that short guy! How can he be faster than me?! Haha! Haha..."

The third man also argued, but he sounded the least plausible.

Minato smiled at them and turned his eyes to Yuna.

She pointed at the honest guy, then Minato killed the remaining guys.

"L-Lucky..." The survivor sighed with relief like never before.

Minato glanced at him and said with a threatening tone, "You will do the remainder of our patrol mission."

Having said this, Minato took the tent out of nowhere, and he unfolded it. He invited his wife and Bei into it, then closed without glancing at the survivor.

"S-Spatial treasure! This is royalty?!" Only royalty possessed such treasures, so the man knew he had made one of the worst mistakes in his life.

He dropped onto his butt and babbled with quivering lips, "T-That's so obvious... No way these two women would hang out with someone of a common background... What were we thinking?"

Razork, a good supervisor, shared the same thoughts, and he was surprised to see a man with such treasure here.

He decided to ignore the matter and turned heel, leaving the survivor to his fate.

A fate that was already set in stone.

No one could escape Minato.

-

Within the tent, Minato sighed, "I've changed... I have changed too much."

Minato searched for comfort.

Comfort his wife didn't fail to deliver.

Lying with his face in her bosom, Minato stared at the events that had happened. He understood that people from another world began to be too irritating.

He developed a relief from killing others.

Minato also understood that his initial plans were foolish.

He had to be similar to the guys he killed, meaning that his main priority should be fighting and dealing with intelligent living beings.

At first, he thought those constant battles were ridiculous, but that had changed now.

Yuna ran her fingers across his hair, "That's the same for me. I went to your world, learned its customs, and had a happy life without any dangers. If I could've adapted so well to your world, you would also do the same, Minato.

I want to say that you will always be the same husband for me.

Whether you turn into a tyrant, demon, or saint, you will look at me with the same eyes. Minmin will always be simping for his Yuna." A cheerful wife encouraged her husband.

Minato chuckled, "That's what I've been thinking too. Still, this world is a little too much, so I will have you say it to me a few times more on our adventure."

"I will~~" Yuna smiled broadly while patting her husband.

Those soft hands felt pleasant, but only for Minato.

Many people had died from Yuna's hands, and Minato understood it the best right now. It also allowed him to adapt far easier.

Bei stared at the duo from the side, then clenched Minato's hair, taking him out of Yuna's pillows.

She surprised her sister the most!

"You did well. Get it, twat? That's how you should conduct yourself in this fucking world," Bei left a few nice words in her usual speech, then blushed, "Did you leave this man alive for... me?" She wanted to relieve her anger on those followers before!

Minato glanced at her after she had dropped him back to his soft heaven, "I am a good in-law, am I not? Don't kill him yet as he has another use, though."

"Hmph. Tell me now, or I might make a slip," Bei looked in an opposite direction as her cheeks reddened further.

She didn't know what was happening, but her heartbeat also accelerated.

Minato closed his eyes, "We will plunder them. That's what they wanted to do, right? It would be a waste to leave their stuff alone. I think I will become a merchant here. Many things should be useless for us, but it's different for people around this world. I also want to build my world with the money I make, not yours.

So it all boils down to me being a merchant. I don't really feel like being a good merchant, though. We will start by selling those scums' items, so people will question us for sure." Minato didn't want to deal with those kinds of problems.

He wouldn't oppose everyone and the rules set by kingdoms, but he also wouldn't be explaining himself all over again.

He would become a merchant who would tread on the border between good and evil.

"You've my support, Minmin!" Yuna wholeheartedly liked the idea.

Bei also belatedly added, "Mine too." She still didn't look in his direction.

But at this point, Minato's face was wholly within Yuna's chest as both were in quite a good mood.

Their first patrol mission ended well, and the group returned to Ungrail City. In that place, Minato plundered one of the dungeon raider groups. Bei also killed the last survivor, who naively believed in his survival.

His death was one of the worst as Bei used magic circles that summoned elements and other effects such as nightmares!

She was pretty versatile!
