Volume 5 - CH 32

Act 5-32: Since That’s the Case, Play as much as You Like

After who knows how long he had escaped, the size of the hourglass was high, it would take some time to let it fall. So he wanted to get away as far as possible. But then, he reached his limit. He couldn’t run any further without eating someting.

When he confirmed his surrounding,

「GIH!?」

A brown-haired human youth whose hands inserted into the pocket of his black coat raised a small scream upon seeing Sugar.

How is such a child staying in this kind of place? There should be no houses or lodgings around this area. Since that’s the case, this must be――

『OI IFRIT, A WORTHLESS DREG INVADED THIS PLACE YOU KNOW!?』

The brown haired boy shouted as he looked up. That moment, black flame shot up from empty space which was then followed by the appearance of a tall and muscular man with two horns growing from his forehead, clad in black suit.

「Y-You guys――」

Before Sugar managed to finish his question, the brown haired body had already stood right before him.

「OOOOOOOOO!?」

His field of view turned around along with a jolt from his feet. Sugar’s body spun upward, and then fell to the ground.

And just before he regain his composure, something trampled down on the back of his head.

『I received a contact from Girimekhala just now. This small fry is in the middle of playing game of tag with Our Supreme Ruler.』

『Is it the game personally directed by Supreme Ruler-sama!?』

The unmotivated look on the brown haired boy till a moment ago was suddenly replaced with a bloodcurling smile as he asked to the horned man.

『Most likely.』

『T-This worthless piece of small fry had actually have the honour to play game of tag with Supreme Ruler-sama!? Dammit… I’m so jealous of him!!!』

And then trampling angrily at Sugar with a momentum that caused the ground to caved in.

『I feel the same as you, but do you know that you’re going to become Belze-sama’s toy if you’re caught?』

Though only a little bit, the muscular man said so with slightly compassioned voice.

『Then I shall force him to remain in this place for good! Though just for a moment, I still cannot forgive this small fry to have the honour of playing game of tag with Supreme Ruler-sama!』

After raising a shrill voice filled with his pent up anger, the brown haired boy stepped on Sugar’s limbs, and broke them as if they were mere twigs with his small feet.

（I-I-It’s brooke!!）

""

The beauty with the monocle

and the black haired monster aside, how can everyone that I met in this land have so much power like this!

How can I, Sugar, one of the most prominent member of 『Wicked』, even back in my birthplace suffered like this! I’ve been invicible after I descended to this place. And yet, I’ve been suffering from consecutive defeats after coming to this particular place.

Not to mention that in the end, I had to grovel like an insect under the feet of this kid. And it happened because the kid was envying me who was forced to participate in the game of tag against that black haired monster. Like hell I wanted to see this kind of nightmare!　

「S-Savhe me!」

Sugar managed to squeeze those words as his face sunk deeper and deeper into the ground due to the trampling of the brown haired boy.

『Dream on. Girimekhala-sama ordered us to not let even a mice to leave the realm.』

The muscular man with horn on his forehead flat out rejected Sugar’s plea.

『That’s only natural! Do you think we’re going to forgive the small fry who received such honor!?』

The brown haired boy’s trampling became more and more powerful till it finally broke Sugar’s skull, scattering pieces of his brain and bones.

「You guys captured it before me huh.」

When that carefree voice came out of nowhere,

『『Supreme Ruler-sama!』』

The brown-haired boy raised his feet from Sugar and replied with a delighted voice.

Sugar who barely managed to raise his face saw the brown haired boy kneeled in front of the black haired monster. The same goes for the muscular man.

「Thank you for your hard work. You did a good job.」

『Thank you, it’s my honor!』

『It’s the greatest honour… For this humble one…』

The two replied with an extremely passionate voice, borderline of fanaticism, as they kneeled in front of him. The black haired monster heaved a sigh instead when he saw such a spectacle, he then approached Sugar, grabbing the latter by hair and raised him up.

There was no such thing as majesty or benevolence in the cold piercing glare that captured Sugar’s figure.

「I won this game of tag. Therefore, I’ll have you to become Belze’s toy till you perish. Belze!」

The moment the black haired monster said that name,

『You called me, Supreme Ruler-chama?』

A bipedal fly appeared as they kneeled toward the black haired monster.

「―――!!!?」

A single glance at the bipedal fly was enough to made him felt like he was dropped into the freezing abyss.

（W-W-W-W-WHAT IN THE HELL IS THAT!?）

This was the first time Sugar saw such a repulsive and sinister creature. A single glance on their figure was enough to shake his very soul. It was the strongest emotion of a creature, something akin to survival instinct. In other words, it was―― A fear toward absolute predator!

（To have something like this as his subordinate means…）

Sugar finally understood from the bottom of his heart. He finally realized just what kind of monstrosities that targeted him.

{No…}

Sugar could only wail in despair in his heart upon such realization.

「You can play with this guy as much as you like till he died.」

The black haired monster gave such instruction to the bipedal fly.

「A~wright. It means that I just need to keep him alive and toy with him foreve~r.」

That moment, a black mass dropped from the bipedal fly and wrapped Sugar, as if telling the latter that resistance is futile. And that was the last happy memory in Sugar’s life.
