Chapter 36 After The Execution
==============================
Confirmation of Marianne Rentzel's execution completion.
Adding 302,738 points of Execution Coefficient.
Total Execution Coefficient: 487,695 points.
? Acquired [Master of the Beasts] job ability.
But since already possess it, it will be discarded.
==============================
"Now, you can no longer use your Job ability."
"You... What in the world is that scythe of yours?"
To neutralize Marianne, after harvesting her Job ability with Igurima, I check the contents of the displayed pale blue text.
Even if one is a demon, without their Job ability, they are just an ordinary person.
Once this is done, all that's left is to keep her restrained.
"That Magic Beast Summoning from earlier was like that too. It's clearly not an ability that humans should have. Who are you really...?"
"I'm just a regular human. I just don't like people who treat others unreasonably."
"So, does that mean you're our enemy?"
"Whether they're a demon or a human doesn't matter. I will eliminate unreasonableness. That's all."
"...Hmph. So that's your ability for that purpose. How annoying."
Marianne's domineering attitude from earlier had disappeared.
Watching her like that, Reisha looked conflicted beside me.
She had experienced betrayal from someone she thought of as family. The shock must have been great.
However, Reisha didn't look away from me and Marianne.
I think she's a strong woman.
I took a deep breath and decided to ask Marianne.
"Now it's my turn to ask a question. You were selecting children from the orphanage, sending those with exceptional job abilities to the royal family. The one giving you those instructions was definitely Marc Richard."
"...Why are you mentioning that person's name..."
"We've met before."
Although it was just his clone that appeared from over there after Teti's rescue.
Despite his boyish appearance, he reminded me of a person with a creepy aura, and I continued speaking.
"And one more thing. Marc is a demon like you, right?"
"..."
"Staying silent is pointless. When we met before, Marc was surrounded by a black miasma. The same as you."
"The power he possesses is not the same as mine."
Marianne said with a slight smile.
"A thousand years ago, we lost the war against humans. Even if I were to tell you about that time, you wouldn't understand, but there was always hatred towards humans among us. However, there were hardly any survivors, and we had no choice but to sit idly by."
"..."
"During that time, that person appeared and showed us the way. A path to reach the ideal land of a new world."
A new world, huh.
I remember even Archbishop Klaus, who tried to kill Teti, saying something like that.
A miniature garden with a new order created by the rulers.
"What is Marc's ability?"
"I absolutely won't tell you."
Marianne firmly rejected.
It seemed like a declaration not to reveal anything no matter what pain is inflicted to her.
All that's left is to restrain her and hand her over to the city guards...
And then, the one who spoke next after being silent until then was Reisha.
"You... You tried to kill children for that...?"
"It's not like that, Reisha. Even you humans must have something you can't compromise on. In my case, it was the future that person showed me. That's all there is to it."
"...I see."
Reisha stole money from others to save the children at the orphanage. Maybe she had some kind of feeling about it.
Reisha looked down and didn't say anything afterwards.
