Butcher Demon

>　I saw the fragments of Gevaudan's thoughts that were on the verge of breaking down again and again.

 

 

 

　I had to see Gevaudan again.

 

 

 

　I need to know who he is before then.

 

 

 

　Maybe that will give me a hint to make him human again.

 

 

 

　I don't believe that true love, like Beauty and the Beast, will break the curse of Gevaudan.
Only I could keep his humanity intact.
I was sure of that.

 

 

 

　I couldn't let Gevaudan's humanity be destroyed.

 

 

 

　Abigail put her hands on the sink and stared at her reflection in the mirror.
With a sigh, she lets out that woman's name.

 

 

 

“Titania…….”

 

 

 

The Dominion that rules over giant insects.

　As she came back to life, her eyes showed the characteristic chilly look of a woman who uses men.

 

 

 

　At the same time, there was a glimpse of the passionate face of a woman who loved a man.

 

 

 

　Abigail had very little information about Titania.
It was only a rumor whispered among the AASPINT that some fort had been destroyed by aliens with the power to control it in the past.

 

 

 

　However, on her journey back to the Fort, Niblo told her (a little too proudly) of his chivalrous adventures the which provided her with comfort as she traveled alone, as well as a great source of interesting and valuable information.

 

 

 

　Niblo's story began with the unfortunate death by crushing of a respected senior.

 

 

 

　After the very scary incident in the mouth of Gevaudan, Niblo traveled alone across the Otherworldly Gate to Miforsis to seek out and gain an audience with a great spider named , who was in charge of the remaining giant insects over there.
He informed him of Titania's survival and whereabouts and asked him to reorganize his forces for the coming time.
With this, the mission was complete.
No doubt he'll get a promotion.

 

 

 

　After such a long journey, he was on his way back home.

 

 

 

　Hungry and exhausted, Niblo smelled the thick scent of blood in the forest.
Could it be some kind of hallucination caused by hunger? Grasping at straws, Niblo followed the scent and happened to come upon the scene of Gevaudan in the pool of blood.

 

 

　Niblo was dying of hunger, and he wanted some of the goodies, too, with the hope that he'd let him have a little meat leftover.
He jumped up and down, but somehow it was mistakenly conveyed to Gevaudan that he should keep the skin for . No, give me some meat.
But as it turned out, Niblo's words were the best advice, and he was later recognized for it.

 

 

 

　He was given the glorious name of Niblo in honor of such an achievement.

 

 

 

　Niblo decided to neglect his report to Titania and was selfishly transferred to the butcher's shop, where he was treated lovingly by Gevaudan.
Every time he begs, he gets plenty of meat.
Niblo is now on his way up the ladder under his new boss.

 

 

 

　While Niblo was enjoying his smooth sailing, his juniors, silver butterflies, came to the butcher's shop next.
The silver butterflies in their larval state were nothing to be afraid of.
I won't share my meat with them.
Niblo, who had been acting like a senior, was horrified by the message they brought with them.

 

 

 

 

Orders from Big Boss.
If you're not busy, go to work.
If you don't, you're doomed to execution.
I wonder if She saw through the fact that I was about to switch to Gevaudan because of the meat.
What I should be afraid of is the big boss's ingenious plan.
There was no escape.
Niblo tightened his grip on his head with trembling hands.

 

 

 

　Thus, Niblo followed Titania's orders and formed a joint front with Butterfly and the others in order to gather information on Gevaudan's self-destruct mechanism.

 

 

 

　However, the Silver Butterfly, who was supposed to be his direct subordinate (apparently the first time he had ever had a subordinate), was cruelly killed by the elf man, Tulyal, before he could reach adulthood.

 

 

 

　Body fluids splattering.
My vision enters slow motion.
The tragic music plays in my ears.
Niblo is so frustrated that he suffers from hair loss for a while.
It was heartwarming to see that loathsome Tulyal, who had even harmed Titania, being slaughtered by Gevaudan, and he even ate some of his own flesh afterward.

 

 

 

After the death of his younger brother, Niblo has been living a desperate life.
He has countless bottles of alcohol lying at his feet.
Then, the three remaining Silver Butterflies, through their steady intelligence work, finally discover the location of the control unit's information storage.

 

 

 

　Hearing this, Niblo threw away the liquor bottle in his hand and stood up.

 

 

 

　I have to do it myself.
Silver Butterfly's death will not have been in vain.

 

 

 

　Niblo ran across the city at night with determination.

 

 

 

On the way, Niblo survived a fight with some horrible stray cats, but unfortunately, he was cornered by a swarm of magical beast bats.
Damn, I guess I'm done here.
But there's still a second and third Niblo. Niblo was cornered against the wall, despite his usual swearing.
He was seriously on the brink of death.
But then, thanks to the support of Silver Butterfly and the others who appear on the scene, Niblo is able to narrowly escape.

 

 

 

　The shining silver dust flutters in the dimly lit alley (it's bad if you inhale it).
The scene of chaos.
Bats were falling in drops, their bodies bleeding.
Niblo was almost caught in the powder and ran for his life.

 

 

 

　But Niblo was cunning.
He was able to sneak into the facility in the nick of time, taking advantage of a dumb staff member who opened a window, startled by the commotion outside.
I was scared of the butterfly.

 

 

 

　However, what was waiting for me was a large number of crickets.
They were Yakuza that had been hiding in the facility earlier.

 

 

 

　The cricket yakuza surrounded the unsuspecting spider that had invaded the territory without an appointment.
But after a long standoff, Niblo's passion for this mission moved the yakuza.
Yakuza have a weakness for stories about avenging their friends.
Let's go pay our respects!

 

 

　Niblo had managed to get their help.
That last challenge finally uncovered the secret of the hidden Gevaudan self-destruct device.

 

 

 

　The important spell that he finally got was entrusted to the crickets.
Please, avenge the Silver Butterfly with this.
I'll leave it to you.
It was a spell that Abigail would never forget, and she knew it well.

 

 

 

　Thus, the handsome Niblo survived the impossible mission, and without boasting of his achievement to anyone, returned to the store where Gevaudan was waiting in the morning glow.

 

 

 

　It was a story that could have been written in a book, a gripping Crime Action story.

 

 

 

　Abigail had grown fond of Niblo, to say the least.

 

 

 

　–Is it okay to talk to me about that? Won't Titania be mad at you? —

 

 

 

　–Bad, Bad, secret, secret, dangerous, punishment.
—

 

 

 

　Niblo's position was now in jeopardy, but thanks to him, she was able to learn more about the situation.

 

 

 

　There is no doubt that the woman was helping Gevaudan.

 

 

 

　But for what?

　–Whatever it is, it's dangerous to leave Gevaudan in the hands of Titania alone.

 

 

 

　That woman is leading us to a dark future, a future that can only lead to ruin.

 

 

 

　The woman's intuition inside me tells me so.

 

 

 

　I have to see Gevaudan again.

 

 

 

　There are things I need to see him to confirm.

 

 

 

　I felt a strong stirring in my chest and held my heart.

 

 

 

　Abigail left Niblo in charge of gathering information and went into the showers.

 

 

 

　She turned on the faucet.

 

 

 

　The cold water splashed down on her face, causing her body to jump, but it quickly turned into warm water.
The heat that poured down on me soaked me in relief.

 

 

 

　The sensation of liquid on my face.
A hot sensation dripping down my entire body.
As I closed my eyes and concentrated on these sensations, I could feel the illusory odor in the back of my nostrils.
I almost drowned in the dense, fragrant smell that melted my brain.

 

 

“Haaa….”

 

 

 

　For now, the only thing that gave her peace was the time she spent alone with her memories like this every night.

 

 

 

　remembering the dizzying sensuality of being violently ravished to the depths of her soul by a vicious beast.

 

 

 

“Gevaudan……”

 

 

 

　If you do something bad, Gevaudan will come for you.

 

 

 

　This was a common warning phrase at the orphanage where I spent my childhood.

 

 

 

　At the annual festival, the orphans' main contest was how scary Gevaudan could be.
Everyone was expressing their imaginary Gevaudan in their own way.

 

 

 

“Hah hah……”

 

 

 

　My sister, who was separated from me, was good at imitating Gevaudan.

 

 

 

　In the memories of her painful childhood days, which she had sealed away in the depths of her memory, a little girl vividly raised the cry, imitating the voice of the Beast of Gevaudan.

 

 

 

　She's a treasure that could not be protected.

 

 

 

　The fierce but lonely cry that Gevaudan raised into the night sky brought back such a heartbreaking memory.

 

 

 

　Gevaudan's voice.

 

 

 

　The voice I heard through Lydia sounded like the voice of a boy soldier or, weirdly enough, a female soldier with a husky voice.
I first thought it was because It was interceding with a woman named Lydia.

 

 

 

　But now that she thought about it again, she realized that it was something else.

 

 

 

　Abigail shook her head and broke the thread of her own unsettling fantasy.

 

 

 

　I have to see him again.

 

 

 

　I have to see him again, I have to make sure of something.

 

 

 

“Gevaudan……”

 

 

 

　A sad woman's voice called out to the beast.

 

 

 

　Her slender fingers slithered down her wet body and disappeared behind a bush.

 

 

 

“….Hmmm….”

 

 

 

　The sound of the shower water was mixed with a moaning sound.
