To Deprive a Deprived Person 164

Chapter 164: fear, ambition, and admiration

(this is the seventh sponsored chapter by K.J *cheers* and sorry for the delay for every sponsored chapter... real life is catching up badly~)

(author note: there will be cruel depiction.)

 

“Good morning~ everyone!”

“Urgh… Namari, can’t you lower your voice a bit?”

 

Namari is greeting everyone with an energetic voice but it was clearly too loud for Rubanofu that is a beastmen with sharp hearing. Mauno from the magic dwarf race pathetically murmured something as Rubanofu didn’t miss that too. Byarune from the fallen dwarf race is still sleeping, Mauno slowly wakes up as he and Rubanofu holding their head because they feel a little bit of headache.

 

“Mauno-dono, Rubanofu-dono, how are you feeling?”

“I think I drink too much sake.”

 

“Odono-san, what do you think?”

 

In front of Rubanofu, Yu is sitting with Namari beside him.

 

“Leave it to me. It’s just because we drink too much.”

Mauno then took an earthen gourd that is purchased from Victor which is used to hold the alcohol and break it on the ground to wake him up. It immediately break down and Namari even surprised with the sound as he pressed his head against Yu’s chest.

 

“Wake up, the king has come to talk with us. How can you show such an unsightly sight in the morning?”

 

“It’s fine. I can speak to you guys at other time, but the most important thing is don’t fight with each other. The truth is, I want to speak to you guys yesterday but you guys are drink. So I decided to talk to you today in the morning.”

 

If there’s something different today, that is the treatment that is given to Yu. the reason for that is Marifa that is standing behind him. Marifa has given some tutelage to the beast men group, although the fallen dwarf and the magic dwarf doesn’t know the detail but they can see the effectiveness.

 

The beastmen are becoming Yu’s foot and hand (servants) while they are also serving meals to him. Nina and Lena has been enjoying the meal carefree beside him but Yu is a little bit uncomfortable because of this new treatment, only Marifa paying attention to the surroundings with eyes as cold as ice.

 

“My king, Flavia is bringing you a cup of tea.”

It was a voice of a young girl; it was a beast girl from a cat race bringing a cup of tea in a tray. However, Marifa is faster than her as she takes the tray from her. The cat girl can only let out a stressed out “argh” but looking at her, there are bruises here and there; she is definitely one of the women that is disciplined by Marifa yesterday.

 

“Oh Flavia, you can leave and continue your job.”

Rubanofu tried to eliminates the air that suddenly becomes heavier by calling out to her.

 

“You, the dark elf! Don’t think that I’ve lost to you already! Remember, I’ll have my revenge!”

Flavia said that as she run away which makes Namari even stunned and admire her.

 

“You! It seems like I haven’t taught you enough lesson!” (Marifa)

 

“Back to the topic, have you guys done agriculture or farming?” (Yu)

 

“We never done it since we’re from the beast race always obtained food from hunting prey. The best we could do is collecting some nuts or mushrooms.” (Rubanofu)

 

“The magic dwarf group isn’t any different. Not to mention that the number of livestock that my king brought this time is… a lot.” (Mauno)

 

“I don’t think that our situation, is too much different either. The beast men, the fallen dwarf group, the magic dwarf group, we all have been living in a terrible environment. The problem with livestock is the price. We can only find some from a peddling merchant and the price is a total rip off.” (Rubanofu)

 

“So?” (Yu)

 

“Even if we want to, we can’t even afford to buy the livestock.” (Mauno)

 

“Alright, it’s decided then, we will buy some slaves when we return to Comer.” (Yu)

 

“My king, why do you need slaves?” (Rubanofu)

 

“You guys may hate humans for slavery but this is something that we can’t neglect. The beast men and the dwarves aren’t able to do agriculture, so we need more hands. How’s the fallen dwarf group lately?” (Yu)

 

“We’re grateful for the king. Some of the dwarf are pregnant and before we all live in fear, frightened and have to move everywhere. Right now we can raise our children in peace, it’s all thanks to the king.” (Byarune)

 

“Everyone should hear what Byarune said. We also need to think about future generation, our children. Right now the food is no longer enough to supply our whole population. Since the number keep on growing, we need a stable source of food and agriculture is the best choice. The south of the village has been developed by Hisui and Shiro in order to prevent hunger for now. At the east of the village, there will be plot to raise livestock and vineyards which is now being prepared by Russ and the undead. I also want to make a harbor and in the west of the mountain, I want to raise monsters.” (Yu)

 

“My king, why do you want to raise monsters?”

 

“「Boar soldier」, 「demons」, 「speedy rabbit」, 「houdon deer」, and low rank 「demon birds」, they are all low rank monster. These are to be arbitrarily breeding. It is to teach our younger generation on how to hunt and fight. Rubanofu, the younger generation still need to learn how to hunt isn’t it?” (Yu)

 

 “As the king said, even if the younger generation can be taught on how to farm but still the beast instinct is to obtain food by hunting and we will always be beast race.” (Rubanofu)

Mauno nodded hearing Rubanofu explanation but in contrast Byarune is looking at him with cold eyes.

 

“The crystal to change jobs are also will be prepared soon. When it’s ready, I want you to meet Russ.”

 

“Understood!”

It was uncontrollably that their replied was full of energy. After all they are so excited. They aren’t allowed to changes job since they can’t enter the guild hall. The dwarves are also exiled from the main dwarf race, all of them can’t enter villages or city to change their job. Some are lucky enough to enter but they don’t have money and gold to change their job. Because of that most of them is in the state where they don’t have any job or profession.

 

“Alright, I want you to keep on passing the book to the back. Each job information is written in the book so I want you guys to read and choose carefully before you change jobs. I also want you to pass this book to the demi human group that will come here a few days later.”

 

“The…demi human group?”

Mauno from the magic dwarf race doesn’t really have problem with this since they are also a mixed race from demon and can be called demi dwarf race. The fallen dwarf race of Byarune also doesn’t really mind about it. However, Rubanofu form the beast race had a blatantly unpleasant look.

 

“Rubanofu, what is it? Are you opposed to the demi human group migration?” (Yu)

 

“Eh? What happened? Why? No, the demi human group is strong!”

Breaking the silence, it was Namari loud voice asking to Rubanofu with a confused look.  It even surprised Momo that is sleeping inside Yu’s flight hat.

 

“Well, I couldn’t say that I hate them. It’s just that the demi human group sided with the demons in the second holy demon war. King, do you know about this?” (Rubanofu)

 

“Yes, I know about that. But you should know that they are different from those demi humans. The story about it, even the fairies who lived in the forest know about it. I just ask you guys not to brought the story up.” (Yu)

 

“Yes King.”

“Yes, my king… of course.” (Rubanofu)

Rubanofu was a little bit dissatisfied with Yu’s attitude and Marifa who noticed that directing a stabbing gaze at Rubanofu.

 

“Rubanofu, if there’s something that you want to say, or you need me to convince the beast race, you can tell me any time. Is the beast race questioning my decision now?” (Yu)

 

“Ah, no thank you. There is none of the beast race people that is dissatisfied with the king decision. Not even one.” (Rubanofu)

All of the beast race including Rubanofu is now sweating profusely. Rubanofu remembered again before it was too late. In front of him, Yu is only a boy in appearance only. That day, the light and dark of the beast race tribe that Rubanofu led is divided as he decided to pledge loyalty till death to Yu.

 

……………………………………..

 

Rubanofu village is hidden deep within the forest but the human knights finally attacked his place. Although the beast race has better body’s ability and exceed the human but the knights is an opponent that has 「job」.

Most of the beast race that is led by Rubanofu doesn’t have this merit and what happens next was clear. The beast tribe men are trying to fight back while the women and children being prioritized to escape the tragedy. However, by the next day the whole village has been surrounded and there is no chance of escape for Rubanofu and his tribe.

 

“Why are you doing this? At least, spare the women and children!”

 

“Shut up! Your existence is a sin in itself!”

 

One of the knights then kicked Rubanofu on his face and it caused one of his tooth fell off and flew in the air.

 

“What do you think you’re doing?”

The young beast men tried to pounce to the knights but it was stopped as they are cut down with a sword.

 

“Captain Nirungu, what do we do with this one?”

 

“This one, it will be a waste to bring him back as slaves, kill him!”

It was said by a mean who is wearing a conspicuously prominent armor among the knights. He looked at the beast race with a glare as if looking at a trash with such a contemptuous look.

 

“Wait, do whatever you want to me but please spare the children and women.”

Rubanofu shouted out but it only makes the knights who hear him show an ugly smile.

 

“Well, for the women after we have some ‘tasting’ we will sell them as slaves. As for the brats, ah that’s right! There are some gentlemen with strange hobby like dressing them up and I’m sure we can make them satisfied. Maybe some will be kept as pet or some will become fodder. Hahahaha!”

The beast people can only clench their fist and grit their teeth at the knight’s chagrin.

If they tried to run away, what awaits is death under a thousand cuts. There is also some corpse not far from them and figure of a beast women being played by the knights.

Contrast to the knight’s extreme ridicule and distorted rapture, the forest was silent.

 

“Oh, Odono-san seems like this dog person is dead.”

Suddenly a child voice can be heard stopping the knight’s laughter.

 

“Don’t call him a dog person. It’s beastman.”

 

“Oh, Odono-san, look this one is still a baby…it’s dead.”

The knights in the surrounding including the beast race they all listened to the intruder. Rubanofu even realized that the body belonged to the siblings that escaped yesterday.

 

“What happened? How?”

The knights couldn’t hide their confusion. In front of them there’s a group led by a young boy. Behind the boy there is an undead that is on the rank of elder lich and there’s even a figure of someone from the angel race.

 

“Tell me, who are you? And what do you want?”

 

“Noisy…”

That is the only reply that Yu give towards Nirungu’s question and stare. Yu is now looking at the beast men corpse that is now in a sorry state.

 

“How dare you!”

One of the knights is fed up and in rage seeing Yu’s attitude. He was about to swing down his sword but Russ make a swing using his staff to the side. It wasn’t that only single knight that was incapacitated but every knights body is covered in black thorns and brambles.

 

“What is this? The thorns are growing and getting tighter... guaa!”

“The black thorns is alive, it’s capturing us.”

 

“How dare you speak like that towards the master?” (Russ)

 

It was Russ fourth rank 【black magic】, 《black thorns》. It was raising thorns and roses that is restrain the movement and delved deep into the target flesh. In that instant, around 300 knights instantly covered in the black thorns.

 

 

“Why do you kill them?” (Yu)

 

“Do you know? I have served the Rorui house for generations if they-“

 

Hearing Nirungu words about serving the minister of finance Rorui Knox, Yu grabbed his ear as if he’s going to pluck it off.

 

“Guaaah!”

 

“Is your ear here is only for decoration? I ask you why did you kill them?” (Yu)

 

“Aaaah, stop it, my ear will come off. Th-this is an order. Because they are a threat to the Houdon kingdom that I serve, so becau-“

 

Without even waiting for him to finish his words, Yu grabbed his ear and pull it hard until it was cut off from his head.

 

“GYAAAAA! Y-y-you, you! my ear is on fire! You tore it off!”

 

“Namari, go over there with Momo and Hisan. Also bring the children with you.” (Yu)

 

“B-b-but…I…”

Whether it was because it was unexpected or something else, but Momo and Namari is trembling most likely because of fear.

 

“I said go.”

 

“I…Odono-san… I will go now.”

Momo then placed on top of Namari head and he is grabbing Hisan hand strongly which cause her to widen her eyes. The children of the beast men soon go away from that place following Namari’s lead.

 

“Russ, you should-“

“Don’t worry master, those that is in life-threatening situation is being treated now.”

 

Without even waiting for Yu to finish his words, Russ understand and already giving treatment to some of the beast race who had been seriously injured.

 

“Even if you do that, everything will turn out the same. Even if you save them now, they… aaaargh!”

 

Yu used the back of his fist to hit on Nirungu’s lower nose. The result however half of his face is now look distorted as he doesn’t understand what just happened and his eyes move around violently. Nirungu can see the knights in the area looking at him with fear and there should be something strange happening as Nirungu lost his consciousness.

 

“Next.”

 

“Yes master.”

 

Russ nod at Yu’s words and he is dragging another knight which some of his flesh has been plucked out by the black roses to the front of Yu.

 

“Guaaaa! Not me, help!”

 

“I believe those people said that they don’t want to die but you still kill them. Answer me why?”

 

“Wa-wait… we’re not the only one that hate the beast people, we- uargh!”

The knight’s head as if it was a pebble being thrown, it flew off from his body. Blood the spurted out from his body.

 

“Next.”
