Become A Human In Another World
ACT 3: Chapter 18 - The Truth Tucked in Lies
"Shinigami? That guy? He can do all this?!" there was panic all around me.
Well, that's natural. Because this magic is an amazing magic. To be honest, all those who are still normal must be panicking.
I'm sure outside in the city must be just as panicked.
Weiss looked at me sharply, taking a few vows for me.
"alright. I'm a Shinigami. And as you know" I unmasked the demon that was on my face.
"I am a human!" I shouted loudly announcing it all.
Diena who already knew just nodded silently, while slightly gulping.
It started happening, and of course, most of it was inadmissibility. Huh! Whatever it is, I won't be afraid!
"alright. I'll start the main problem today" someone threw me a knife.
"Down you human! I wouldn't have accepted this mission if its human bearer was like you! I hate this! Damn I was tricked! All! Don't trust him!" that guy keeps babbling.
I'm glad someone expressed their wish. In this way, it would be easy for me to set an example for silencing people like that.
"Hey baldy! Don't incite others! Let them listen and decide for themselves! If not"
"If it's okay? What are you gonna do to me?!" he was challenging me.
Huge mistake.
"I'll kill you!" I smiled as I threw the knife back quickly.
"Huh! Like you could do Arghhh!!!" he had a mocking smile, before finally writhing the heat.
I thought the knife was poisonous. How much does this world like poison?!
"W-how can it?! Th-that's my poison!" he can heal himself quickly. As I expected of the Priest race! The wings are invisible, but the healing ability of the bald man is indeed extraordinary.
"You don't notice your cheeks?" he felt his torn cheeks shedding blood while wide open.
"Well, I don't like stale bases. So if you're still doing the same thing, then I'm going to target your right eye. Next one's left, and then your arm until you listen to me." I pulled out enough knives in each between my fingers.
"Whoa! Stop, Shinigami. We understand. We'll listen. So please don't do that." Diena quickly stopped me.
"Huff. Since I respect the Guildmaster, I'll stop it." I put the knife in again.
Diena seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief with that. Was the Adventurer so powerful that Diena didn't want him dead? I don't know.
"Well I'll go back to explaining this Angel of Death Trial!"
"All of you must have known, a lot of child trafficking is made into slaves by irresponsible people."
"Those who are young, still have dreams, still have a future!"
"And all that is gone! Because of this guy! The people who enslaved them! Not to lead them in a good direction. And worse, there are those who play with their sanctity! It was an extremely evil depraved act!" I clenched my hands, holding back my anger.
Many people who look the same, look away because they have seen it all true.
"And here. I, the Shinigami accuse Weiss, a Furyuun Academy Head is the one who committed the prostitution! That old bastard has been doing indecent things to this child for several years! How fucking he is!" I pointed at Weiss.
Weiss. He did not expect that his sin would be opened in public like this.
"No! There is no proof!" Weiss was still shouting in denial even though all the evidence was in front of his eyes.
"Hey hey. Accusing the Head of the Academy isn't that outrageous? The Head of the Academy is a good person!"
"Really! Don't just accuse me!"
"Yes! I'm right! He's just a con man who's playing the accusation!" Weiss started to feel victorious as many supported him.
I also felt the residents in the city side with Weiss.
"Alright if that's what you want. Please, witnesses. We need your information!" I gave a sign, and Edna and Thui went in to bring the child.
Everyone was shocked, including Weiss. Obviously he wouldn't have thought that they were brought here, would he?
"Look at them! They were Weiss' victims! Look at them! It looks beautiful on the outside, but I know they're yelling, asking for help!" I tried to provoke again.
People's pricks started happening, meanwhile, theatergoers were becoming more and more.
Diena also nodded, perhaps she already knew the root of the problem.
"That's, oh yeah! Maybe it's all your slaves! Can't you do that and say they're all mine? Where's possible?!" Weiss is still trying to get around.
With that statement, Weiss is getting stronger here. People also started cheering for him.
I expected this to be difficult, but I didn't expect him to have the trust of a people of this size. The power of trust, this is terrible.
"He was a slave trader who sold the slave to him. Moreover, we also have proof of purchase evidence obtained by the Guild party! Please!" I invited Diena to ride.
I told Diena as she was going up, please convince them all.
Diena also seemed to support me, and read out all the payment proofs and other evidence. That should be enough to make everyone aware.
"But what if you pay them? You paid the slave merchant, and you wrote down false evidence?" Weiss started writing.
And people agree with that. I'm confused, how stupid are they to believe Weiss just like that?
Moreover, was that how much influence Weiss had on the city of Furyuun?
"Hey hey! You stupid human! How dare you insult me? And also, you're giving false accusations! Hey Rice, you must have seen this. And all the citizens of Furyuun! Don't believe this villain!" Weiss started to smile.
"Shut up, Weiss." Rice showed up there, harboring his anger.
Yep. It's true that the people who were here just started to believe in Weiss. What else is out there?
Like I said, the words of a righteous man will lose with power.
Even I could see Edna and the others clenching their hands, furious with Weiss. But how else, we lack power here.
"Well Rice! Lucky you were here! Look at 'em! Look at that fucking human and the Guild! They want to incite the citizens of Furyuun!"
"They used my name to ruin this city. You as mayor must prevent this! Rice! Order the Guild's disappearance!" Weiss started his lie again.
Rice fell silent. He moved his teeth.
"Ups, sorry to interrupt you, Mr. Rice. Your anger is too high for such a lowly person. Let me do it, and you can just watch it." I smiled as I put up a small barrier to protect me from the garbage people threw.
They were consumed, Weiss said, and blasphemed me in such a way. God fucking.
"Hey, Weiss. Maybe you feel like you won, but I'm sorry. I've estimated everything." I smiled as I whispered in Weiss' ear.
He just chuckled, seemingly mocking me. Yahh whatever. After all if I take off the [I am the Sadistic] skill he will die.
"Alright, Thui. It's time to reveal the truth." I pointed towards the incoming child.
Yep! In the crowd of the children, I slipped Thui who was wearing a hood there.
Thui is my main weapon. He had enough power to destroy Weiss. So I asked him to give a false testimony.
Then why am I collecting that much evidence? Obviously I want to make Weiss worse!
I know for a fact Weiss will deny all the charges and reverse them. So I collected all of it. Once everyone knew the truth, they would get more emotional from being lied to by Weiss.
In other words, I will destroy his name first, humiliate him!
"I, Thui Ravinder, am here to testify. I've been kidnapped twice. The first by the bandits, then the second by the man's errand." Thui started to advance while starting his story.
"What-what?!!" Weiss nodded in surprise. Of course he didn't expect it to be like this, did he?
Besides, people started to stop throwing it at me. Instead, they were similarly shocked and started whispering to each other.
"Yes. I was kidnapped by bandits, who after being traced to Weiss's man. But I was saved by an adventurer party called Nier. I owe him." Thui started his acting.
"Then, after this Nier adventurer left, I was again kidnapped, even while in my own home."
"But the adventurer group found out and followed him and then released me. They knew it would be dangerous if I was alone outside, so they kept me for a while." Thui told me a long story.
Huh, Weiss! Now, what are you going to do?!
People today cannot say what. They just fell silent while looking down on Weiss.
Yep! That look! The look of disdain directed at Weiss, I really liked it. In this way, the good name that has existed all this time must have been destroyed unceremoniously, right?
Besides, Thui is very good at acting! It all sounds real! Even if I didn't know the truth, I'd think it was all true.
"Thui, how sorry are you." Diena with glassy eyes contended. It seemed like he wanted to jump up and hug her, if he could.
The atmosphere became noisier, filled with maki scolding for Weiss.
"Damn you! You use this way?!" Weiss growled weakly. I just laughed hearing that.
"I will do anything to fight you, even if it's dirty like this!" I whispered in his ear.
Yep. I will always play with something I can win.
I would think more if my chances of winning were only 50%.
It's over.
