Butcher Demon

Chapter 247

◇◆◇ (Gevaudan’s point of view)

I can see the R&D center building.

Yasmin is probably in there…….

Is she really there? What should I do next time if she is not there?……

I hope Natsuki and the others are safe. From the aliens’ perspective, they are targets too…

I wonder if Abigail is okay. She might be hunted by the lieutenant general in order to keep her mouth shut…….

Is Ferris and the rest able to return to their home? It’s about time for the humans to regroup and bring out the high-tech weapons. Especially Arshella. If she”s flying around unprotected, she’ll get locked on by a homing missile…….

Aah, I have too many things to worrry…….

My heat to smash Yasmin and Garnier is cooling down…….

I run across town in the darkness with all kinds of uneasiness.

“Jebotan!!!”

“!?”

I was startled.

“Natsuki?”

I hid in the shadows and pulled Kin out of my apron.

“Help me, Jeebotan!! –ueeee, uuuu…….”

She’s crying and Kin is also mimicking her cries, so the scene is very realistic.

“What’s wrong?”

“Yakumo was…… Yakumo was hic……!”

“What’s happened to Yakumo?”

Focus.

Natsuki and Yakumo’s presences seem to be moving away from each other.

“–Did he get lost?”

“Hello.” Abigail’s voice said.

“Listen. Yakumo-kun has been kidnapped.”

“Kidnapped? by who?”

“Aliens, a vampire”

“Vampire”

I saw him.

I saw someone like that in the Highland Zephyr gang at the plaza a while back. That’s probably him…….

“But why Yakumo?”

“Did you tell anyone about his ability?”

“Me? No, I didn’t told anyone about the Yakumo’s ability…….”

“But they knew. They kidnapped Yakumo-kun right in front of us.”

Then a thought occurred to me.

“–hmm……may be……”

“Any idea?”

“Mustachio.”

“Mus……?”

“He’s a spy. I’ve been spied on by him before.

He’s been quiet lately, but he’s still following me…….

I look around. But there’s no sign of it. What a great spy. *Boo-hoo-hoo* Then I hear an owl’s cry from the other side through Kin.

“Damn it……..”

“I’m sure Rudra is still tracking them, but once they get into the alien camp, we can’t help him anymore…… so I’ m hoping maybe…… you can help him?”

“Please, Jebotan……. please…….”

Abigail was somewhat reluctant to say it then a sobbing voice came after, I could imagine Natsuki’s crying face from it. It is so destructive when a girl who is usually so cheerful cries.

I know where the Yakumo is. It seems he is heading for the main gate of 88.

I looked up at the building of November. There was a twinkling light.

It’s right in front of me……. What should I do? —-

…….

After a moment’s hesitation, I punched a nearby wall.

With a dull thud, the concrete cracked.

“…………Alright. Natsuki, I’ll take him back, don’t worry.”

“……Hic, really……? huff…….”

“Yes, I promise.”

Natsuki’s cries louder, but softer than before.

“Can I speak to Abigail?”

“What should we do?”

“Yakumo is heading for the main gate. There are probably a bunch of aliens there preparing to destroy it, so you two don’t go near it.”

“Hah…… thanks, really…….”

Abigail’s sigh.

“After I get Yakumo back, I’ll deliver him to Natsuki. You two stay together.”

“Yes. We’ll be close by. See you soon.”

I tucked the saluting Kin into my apron pocket.

–Papameyan you waste of calcium bastard …….

Cursing in my chest, I spun on my heel.

I can imagine seeing him smiling widely while I ran back the way I came, heading towards the main gate.

–you’ve interrupted me once again.

……I’m……working……don’t disturb my work!!

Don’t think you can get away with it, making Natsuki cry like that…….!

Next time, I’m going to rip off that mask and reveal your face. I’m going to give him the biggest humiliation of any masked wrestler.

How can I tackle that Edelweiss or whatever it’s called? As I was thinking about this, I saw that the road I had just taken was blocked by a barricade.

I turn. Run. Another barricade waiting for me.

Turn. Run. Barricade.

Turn. Run. Barricade.

–Using the pathway that I and Velvet built together to capture 88? And get a supernatural weapon Yakumo? And kill me? And maybe kill Titania as well? You’re too greedy, that skeleton!

I’m really getting irritated.

You are unforgivable, Papameyan!!

I will bury the bones in Yufan’s body and eat him while raping them together. Then I’ll finish them with the Sustainable Killing method!! Smash them to pieces with a butcher’s hammer and throw them in the wilds where they can be put to good use!

As I was running, I thought I heard the monster’s cry echoing through the 88, but I didn’t care.

The butcher’s ferociousness scorched my brain. I hadn’t felt this way in such a long time that I couldn’t spare a moment to worry about the traps.

I stepped out of the street.

I paused as I stumbled to a stop.

–I’ve lost it……..

It was a park on the widest avenue in 88, where a huge number of soldiers were now assembled.

It was a combined force made up of Alpha, Beta, and Delta.

Among the infantry carrying heavy weapons, there is even Ripley in the mix, and the armored vehicles are in full battle mode, hauling out cannons. Furthermore, tanks with traces of explosive armor that had been hastily removed from their tracks came rumbling out of the underground passageway. there’s even service dogs.

Butcher, whose blood was rising to his head had been lured out to the center of such a gathering place by accident.

I blushed internally, feeling out of place as if I were the only one who had hopped into a party wearing pajamas where everyone else was dressed up in suits.

But luckily, no one seemed to notice me yet.

The reason I was not suddenly attacked was because the line was facing the opposite direction from me, that is, toward the main gate. They are probably on their way to recapture the main gate, which is occupied by aliens.

In other words, this is an assault launch position. The military has done a good job of setting up a counterattack in such a short period of time.

This operation team will fire without caring about the existence of Yakumo. It would be quicker to kill him than to have him taken away by the aliens. If they got caught up in the battle, there would be no way to stop them. I had to covertly rescue Yakumo before this army reached the aliens’ position.

So it’s not a time to make a scene here. Let’s pretend for the sake of both parties that this never happened. Butcher will leave secretly, so please don’t notice me. —-

“–Ah! over there! I caught this one first!”

The crab monster thrust its arms at me.

Aah! Idiot! How did you notice?

The spotlight was shining on me.

Countless gun muzzles pointed at me all at once.

“–This is over.”

Penrose, full of intent, stood behind the light.

“Ugly monster, don’t think you can do whatever you want at my fort.”

Penrose raised his right hand.

In response, sirens blared in the distance.

Wrrrr…… wrrrr…….

The grim tone of the old air raid sirens.

For training, it is limited only to five times. Now it keeps repeating and shows no sign of stopping. In other words, this is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill.

–Martial Law.

The signal for an all-out battle in the Fort.

The sound of thumping footsteps and citizens rushing from building to building. Everyone, from adults to children had guns in their hands. The barrels of guns were pointed at me from the windows of the buildings.

From an old man on the verge of death to a newborn child, everyone is a soldier now.

This is what a crazy all-out militia system looks like.

As it reads, total mobilization. In case this happens, these people will fight until they are the last one standing.

— ah……..

These vulgar ethicists that can only flock together are so annoying.

Get out of my way.

I don’t have time for you now. If you want to die, do it later.

Well, I guess that won’t change anything…….

If Penrose put his hand down, everyone will pull the trigger without hesitation.

I’m an ugly butcher now, after all.

—-.

“………… I…am…… Gea..Gevaudan.”

I turned on the speaker. They have been overworked lately and not in good shape.

I see Penrose startled a little.

“–the ugly monster the Butcher, the one you all fear.

That is me.

I was once a human.

But now I’m a beast who can’t even remember my name.

I went through terrible things before I came here.

Yet, my soul remains intact.

I returned from that prison.

Lift your chin and look at me. See your own sins in my eyes.

If you know who I am, then make way.

If you are too stupid to understand, put your finger on the trigger.

I will crush every prideful human who has no respect for mother earth.

Once I start, I will never stop until I have my fill.

If you are ready, go ahead and shoot.

That will be the end of you.

And I will take all your sins with me.

If you don’t want to die, get out of the way. Human—-“

My mechanical voice echoed through the fort.

Butcher’s speech rang out somberly, and everyone in the area fell silent.

All the adults in the crowd are staring at me with stunned expressions on their faces.

–This was my ultimatum.

I will keep the promise I made to Abigail.

I warned them. If you run, I won’t chase you.

If one of you shoots, I will kill you all.

Not that I don’t feel like it, but I don’t plan on being a good little girl anymore………….

I inwardly lick my lips upon looking at the banquet right in front of me.

How long I have waited for this moment.

Now, go ahead and shoot.

I’m waiting–.
