The Son of a Corrupt Lord Doesn't Want to Become a 'Saint'! V1C15
Stage 1-15: The Visitor Who Came to Deliver Nightmares
I’ve already
said it, I don’t need any reward, right?
Why is it
that only people who have lost control always gather around me?
I can hear
the sound of fabric rubbing against each other as she starts to undress.
Nevertheless,
I remain calm.
“I’ve already
told you to stop. I will call Alice, alright?”
“If it’s
Alice, she’s on guard duty outside, so she won’t hear us.”
“You
underestimate her? If I call her seriously, she will come even if she’s at the
other end of the world.”
“...But, I
have a reason why I can’t stop...”
Mio starts to
ramble about her past and her own circumstances.
But I don’t
have time to listen to her complaints because I’m thinking of a way to escape
from this situation.
At the very
least, if I can forcibly break free, I can run away from Mio.
But I don’t
choose that path.
Oh, I’ve
heard that after using violence, if you become gentle, people’s emotions become
chaotic and their thoughts stop.
Well, that’s
it.
I just need
to let this situation happen and face it calmly.
“So, please,
Vellet-sama. Can you give me a moment of love, and make it engraved in my
memory...?”
“I don’t want
to.”
The reason
for refusing? It’s obvious.
I... really
like big t*ts.

“I should
have never given birth to you.”
Those words
haunt me every day, echoing repeatedly in my mind. They are my mother’s bitter
expression that feels like thorns piercing my heart.
Before I was
born, my mother was a nobleman’s concubine, living in luxury and surrounded by
affection. But everything changed when she became pregnant with me. The
nobility deemed her useless and banished her to the village, stripping away the
wealth she had enjoyed.
I became the
scapegoat for all the misery my mother experienced. I was born into her hatred
and the violence that came from her. Sometimes, as a release for losing her
luxurious life and the person she loved, my mother vented her anger on me.
In the depths
of my heart, I knew I should have never been born. I lived without ever
experiencing love from anyone. Every day, I was trapped in loneliness and
suffering, unnoticed by others.
One day,
after ten years of living in that darkness, my mother suddenly passed away.
She, who was so energetic and full of life, stopped breathing all of a sudden.
The loss left a deep mark within me. After her departure, I was sent to an
orphanage run by a church in the capital, where I grew into the woman I am
today.
Many thought
I would become a nun, but I refused. There were reasons behind my decision. One
of them was my intention to help children who suffered like me. I wanted to
give them warmth and affection that I had never felt. However, on that journey,
I realized there was one crucial thing I didn’t understand: love.
I grew up
without experiencing true love, and it made me lose empathy for others’
suffering. Although I learned how to care for children and interact with them
through books, it was only theoretical knowledge without real experience. I
wasn’t sure if I truly loved those children, and it made me feel restless.
“So please,
Vellet-sama, can you give me a little bit of love, even just for a moment, so I
can feel it in my heart...?”
I am a humble
woman with an unattractive appearance, a result of my traumatic childhood
experiences. In my desperation, I see Vellet-sama as a kind-hearted figure who
might accept me. I know he possesses boundless kindness, and I hope he will
rescue me from this loneliness and suffering. That’s why I dare to plead like
this.
“Mio...”
Vellet-sama
called my name and reached out his hand towards my cheek...
“I’m sorry,
but I can’t do it,” Vellet-sama firmly replied.
I was shocked
when suddenly he struck me hard.
Childhood
memories flooded back.
I felt the
scorching heat on my cheek, just like I had felt it before from my mother.
“Aaah...
Ahh...”
I was certain
that I would be continuously beaten again and again until he felt satisfied.
I tightly
closed my eyes, trying to hold back the fear as I had done in the past.
...However,
even though I trembled in fear, the pain didn’t come.
With
hesitation, I opened my eyes.
And before
me, Vellet-sama embraced me gently.
Huh? Eeeh!?
Why...!?
“Ve,
Vellet-sama!?”
“I’m sorry...
But this is a necessary action to erase all your suffering,” Vellet-sama softly
said while hugging me.
Finally, I
realized the meaning behind his actions.
Vellet-sama
intentionally slapped my cheek to erase my past. He gave me a tenderness
different from the violence I had experienced with my mother.
The warmth of
this embrace liberated me from the shackles of the past.
“It seems to
have worked,” he said, gently patting my back.
He stood up
and stepped away, leaving a sense of emptiness in my heart.
“But now is
not the time to provide the answer you seek,” he said.
“I
understand... I will pray for Vellet-sama’s and others’ safety,” I replied.
“There’s no
need to do that.”
“What do you
mean...?”
"Our victory is unquestionable, that's what I said."
A statement of victory by an unbeatable figure.
There is nothing more invigorating than this.
"So, I hope Mio sleeps peacefully. When you wake up, it will all be over."
Will Vellet-sama share kindness until the moment she leaves the room?
Thank you very much.
However, I am not a foolish person who only enjoys her kindness.
"I will welcome all of you at the front door without a doubt."
My words were left unanswered.
With a smile on her face, Vellet-sama exited the room.
***
“...Hah, I
hope Mio can sleep peacefully,” I murmured, exhaling deeply.
I tried to
avoid her questions about love and wished to leave soon. I’m not a saint. I’m
not skilled at answering difficult questions like that. Therefore, I asked her
to wait while sleeping. However, given the circumstances, I was sure she was
already awake.
“Ouga-kun?
Why do you look lost in thought?” Mashiro asked.
“It’s
nothing,” I replied, shaking my head.
Ah, this is
not good. We’re about to dive into the battlefield now. Too many unnecessary
thoughts will be our downfall. Even though our opponents may be weaker, we
mustn’t let our guard down. That’s the key to being a true villain.
“Hey, is this
the place?”
“....! ....!”
Since the
guide was bound and had their mouth gagged, they could only nod to provide an
answer.
According to
the information provided by Alice, their headquarters were located in the only
bar in Inivent. Their boss was waiting for a report while drinking there.
“Mashiro, are
you fully prepared?” I asked.
“Uh, yeah! I
slept enough, so I’m full of energy!” Mashiro replied enthusiastically.
“Good. But
don’t be too tense. I’ll confront their boss, and you just defeat the followers
around here,” I instructed.
“Okay!”
Mashiro exclaimed with high spirits.
Her overly
enthusiastic spirit pressed her breasts against her arms. As soon as I averted
my gaze, I gave instructions to my sword.
“Alice, this
time don’t interfere. Our goal is only to test Mashiro’s abilities,” I said.
“Alright, I
understand.”
Alice could
only agree as she watched the bound criminal in both her hands.
Damn, how
strong are Alice’s muscles?
“Damn it...
They still haven’t returned?!”
“A-Alivan-sama,
please calm down for a moment!” one of his followers pleaded.
“The drink I
opened went to waste!”
From inside,
a rough voice that sounded like the shattering of glass bottles could be heard.
It seems they
are our targets.
“Alright,
here we go,” I said, raising my leg and kicking the door until it shattered.
“Gwahhh!?”
The sudden
screams and the sound of destruction caught everyone’s attention at the
entrance.
“What the
fuck are you?!” Alivan exclaimed in astonishment.
“I’ve come to
give you all nightmares,” I said with an evil smile, pointing at the person who
seemed to be named Alivan, whose veins bulged on his head.
“This place
is the end of your criminal journey.”
