Glutton Berserker ~The One That Exceeds The Concept Of Levels~ Chapter 100 – Fate and Roxy

The white haired boy swung around the black spear Vanity with ease. As if it was a part of his own body.

Now we had so ard boy with an unknown power.

I tried to use appraisal on him, but the boy was savvy enough to ignite the magical power inside his body. As a result I was blinded for a mont.

In a fight between individuals of Area E, using 《Appraisal》 tended to be more dangerous than beneficial.

As I was blinded and unable to see where he went, it’d be easy for the boy to attack .

[From that ti….how many years have passed. A thousand? Two thousand? Perhaps four? Ti flies in a blink of an eye. Don’t you think so too, Myne?]

[Shin….you should’ve died back then]

[You should’ve known this already, but I can’t die. As long as I have even a small body part remaining, like the one possessed by that foolish human, I can keep reviving back. Well, luck played a big part in it. But as you can see, I’ve won the bet. Here I am, back in one piece.]

He dispersed into swarm of bats, and moved to our side. And again, played around with his spear.

[But it’s different from that ti. Myne should join instead. Lust’s weapon can’t threaten , and Gluttony entered Area E only recently. With these mbers, you can’t hope to defeat ]

[Do you still want to try, although the result is already obvious?]

Shin said as his eyes glowed bright red.

Kuu…what the…hell. This feeling was similar to when the Gluttony skill beca starving.

and Eris who was standing next to couldn’t move our body, while I couldn’t even breathe properly.

[Oya oya. I just glanced at them a little, and those two are already struggling. Don’t you think it’s strange?]

When Shin looked towards and Eris, he seed disappointed. Perhaps he’s thinking that he could play around a little, only to be denied before even starting..

Among us, only Myne could raised her axe and told Shin off.

[Are you going to unlock the door that land]

[You…still asked? But I don’t hate that part of you.]

[Shin!]

Myne charged at Shin in a flash, sending a vertical slash with her axe. I could barely see her movent just now.

Shin turned into swarm of bats before the slash could land, and reford so distance away from us.

[Harsh, as usual. Fine, I’ll even take you there if you so wish. Co now, follow . Let’s take so strolls together, since unlocking the door to that land is also my end goal. Now then, Myne….shall we go?]

Shin dispersed into flocks of bat, and flew eastward.

Myne turned to . Instead of her usual stoic look, she seed slightly saddened.

One bat broke off from the swarm and flew around Myne. As if urging her to co along.

My voice seed to stuck on my throat. Even if I wanted to tell her not to go, I simply couldn’t.

There was an overwhelming difference of power between and Shin, to the point that I was absolutely helpless against him. Even with Myne’s help, I still stood no chance!

No. I couldn’t accept this. I didn’t want sothing like this to happen again.

[My…..ne…..]

I tried fought myself off of the spellbound casted by Shin. Although with a hoarse voice……I managed to call out Myne’s na.

The lone bat ca up to , and said in a surprised tone.

[Amazing. I have to change my evaluation about you. But she won’t stop. Even if that is what you wish for. Everyone has sothing that they can’t simply give up on in their life. For Myne’s case, it’s unlocking the door to that land. Until we et again.]

[Don’t…go! Myne, don’t go!]

I couldn’t help but to feel that sothing would definitely go wrong. Going to that land alone….. hoping solely on his promise, that sounded wrong. We’d already beco companions…. even if I was still weak, I wanted you to rely on us more. Because we’d surely beco even stronger.

Hearing say that, Myne…..silently cried. This was the first ti I saw her doing so. Not even once before during all the ti we’ve spent together she ever showed this kind of face.

For once――Myne looked like an ordinary girl.

[Thank you for everything. With Fate, I actually had fun for the first ti in a very long ti.]

[Myne!]

[Sorry.]

Myne headed eastward alongside the bat. It took only a few second, but…… I could no longer see Myne from where I stood.

Snow clouds reford on the sky over the kingdom, and the snowfall resud.

Shin’s binding soon started to dissolve, but and Eris could only stand there.

Apparently so traces of it still remained.

Soone close to had gone, it was sothing beyond my expectation. A feeling of helplessness struck hard. Did I make Roxy to feel this way too when I left her in Gallia?

[I’m such a fool…]

『You’re only noticing that now? Good grief, if we’re talking about Fate here, then yes, you’re right.』

Greed said that to via 《Mind Reading》. But unlike his usual haughty tone, he’s sowhat, kind this ti.

Having an equally dejected look on her face, Eris turned to .

[What should we do now, Fate?]

[Let’s head back to Barbatos mansion. I’m worried about Aaron.]

[Are you sure? You’re not going to chase after Myne imdiately?]

[If I only followed my feelings here, and chased after Myne, the sa thing will repeat itself. On the other hand I still have my responsibilities as the head of Barbatos family.]

[Right. It’s getting colder today. We’ll freeze out if we don’t warm ourselves.]

Snow began to accumulate on the now devastated military district.

The siren that was ringing all across the kingdom had ceased. The battle for the survival of the kingdom was over.

And then, as the long night drew to a close, the sun rose in the east. No matter what happened earlier, a new day had co.

I felt sowhat calm, among other feelings, as I headed back. To have a place to call ho, isn’t that sothing wonderful?

Together with Eris, I walked toward Holy Knights residents district. Many things happened during previous night. Soldiers and Holy Knights rushed past us.

[With this, the military district cannot properly operate for a while.]

[That’s not sothing we need to worry about.]

[I guess so. After Envy managed this place for so long, it no longer feels like my kingdom anymore.]

[Please be a proper queen this ti around.]

[I’ll do my best. But I’ll really feel bored after a while]

I wonder if it’ll be okay. Her being queen…..

The two white knights had rushed back to Eris. Receiving their reports, Eris listened to them seriously at first, but then said this while yawning.

[I’ll leave the rest to you. Do your best]

[ [ Yes! In that case, please excuse us] ]

I thought she would need to give a detailed instruction to the white knights, but she instead left everything to them. She really beca bored already. The white knights on the other hand, seed excited to be entrusted with such a huge role.

Well, I guess it’s better to leave everything to them….that is.

At the worried , Eris said proudly.

[Those kids have always been serious since back then, so it’s okay. Too serious that it hurts.]

Perhaps, it was the result of Envy’s tenure as the king.

It tried to produce crown tier human through a Hate Phenonon. It was such a huge experint, making people suffer to artificially induce hate over the years. And then, it attempted to complete the experint by sacrificing Roxy, who was well-liked by the people, but my presence in Gallia rendered the plan to beco null and void.

[It’s really laughable, Envy’s thod…..but at least it’s sincere. It’s just looking for soone to substitute for . I’m also at fault in a way.]

Eris said. As long as we continue to live, we’ll inevitably make mistakes.

[That’s why, I want to make this country to be a little kinder.]

[Can I trust you with that?]

[Of course. Well then, shall we eat sothing sweet today?]

[What the hey, already?]

[Because I’ll feel happy when I eat sothing sweet]

[Aah, the future of the kingdom has beco worriso.]

[Eeeeeeeee, but it’s such a good idea!]

That’s not surprising at all! Anyways, I suppose living in the kingdom would really beco easier as she said. The white knights assisting her seed to be quite competent.

As I chatted with Eris, we resud walking, and noticed that there were a lot of people gathering in front of Barbatos mansion.

Aaron, and the barkeeper. Also Heart family servants.

From among them, a certain girl appeared. Her figure and beautiful flowy golden hair as she walked, all remained unchanged.

[Roxy-sama…..]

Eris who was sticking to until a while ago seed to have read the air. Was that why she moved away imdiately?

Not knowing what I should say, I simply walked towards her. My steps unstoppable.

Was Roxy sad, or was she angry, or was it sothing else? Inside my head, lots of things swirled round and round.

Arriving in front of her, I stopped, and we stared at each other.

I had to say sothing…..I tried to open my mouth, but Roxy beat to it. What she said with a smile at that mont, made all my thoughts blown away.

[Welco back, Fai] (TL Note: Roxy called him フェイ, it could be Fay or Fai)

[Roxy-sama……]

Hearing said that, she shook her head.

[That’s wrong. You are already a holy knight, and the head of Barbatos family. You don’t need to call like that anymore.]

Right. That’s right. I’m no longer the gatekeeper Fate, nor the Heart Family servant Fate, and neither the mysterious warrior Mukuro.

I’m now a holy knight just like Roxy, and the head of Barbatos family. I could no longer afford to refer to her like that. Like Greed always said, I really should act with pride more often.

[Roxy, I’m sorry……for keeping silent all this ti. I must’ve cause lots of inconveniences for you. I….]

[That’s not what I ant. I’ve told you back then at Gallia, didn’t I? Fai is Fai. Even if you hid yourself under a mask, Fai’s still fighting for soone else, wasn’t he? About Hado Burix, it’s indeed regrettable. But, you must have a reason to do so.]

[No, that’s not it! It was for my own….]

I never managed to finish what I said. Because Roxy hugged first.

[We are just human, making mistakes is inevitable. Even . I’ve lost a lot of n while fighting in Gallia. Perhaps, if I were stronger back then, I wouldn’t feel this kind of regret. But, if we keep living on that day, it’ll only get harder to continue living. Fai of now seems to be suffering from that.]

Releasing her hug, Roxy kept gazing at .

[So, let say it again. Welco back, Fai]

I felt my inner part grew hot due to Roxy’s kindness. Perhaps, my eyes were already tearing up at this point.

Only this sentence, I want to say it from the bottom of my heart.

[I’m ho….Roxy.]

[Yes, welco ho]

Right then, I couldn’t hold it anymore.

If it’s just facing Roxy with the truth, then I thought I’ll be okay. But now, Roxy even accepted the way I am.

I may still make mistakes in the future. It’s the proof that I’m just a human. I think I can live with that.

After a while, looking away from Roxy, I looked around to see Eris who seed to have had enough of the scene.

I looked the other way around, to see Aaron and the barkeeper, even the Heart Family servants, did they also bear witness to everything!?

We seed to have entered our own world just now.

Turning back to Roxy, I saw her face flushing red. Perhaps I’m also the sa.

But this embarrassnt felt comforting. The soul that had been wandering has finally found its way back ho.
