For You This World I'll Destroy

Troubles Nameless (3)

—8—

“That Playboy Si really pisses me off,” I muttered.

I watched as Arthur hurriedly put on his snow-proof coat in front of the gate. “Arthur, hoodiemu not even,” said I immediately fix Arthur's coat hood.

Arthur immediately brushed off my hand and turned his face away, “J-Do not touch-touch, a-I can do it myself,” he said fixing the hood of his own coat, “K-You too, K, is that umbrella enough to protect you from Superadical Snow?”

I grunt. The boy looked funny as he tried to counter the effect of the love potion on his body. Her shy way of calling me with “kamu” is adorable. Whereas seven years ago, she cutely called me Auntie.

“Snow Superadical only injures living creatures,” I said to raise my hand and show the snow does not burn my skin at all,

“For me, they are my protectors from the scorching sun.”

“You... vampire?” ask Arthur who's coming after me.

“Yups. And my favorite food is the blood of the boy who asked a lot,” my chandelier shone showing off my fangs. Arthur immediately shuddered in horror and took some distance from me.

Hmph, at this distance, it would be easier for him to withstand the poison. But who is the one who put the love potion in the cashier? Is it possible that dark figure I met last night?

What is that world traveler planning to stop me? I had no choice but to follow the dark figure's game.

The brilliant Chandrayastra District covers the shadow that haunts every inch of Pei Jin City. Outside the thick walls of the city, it grew like a mushroom, a slum clinging to each other around a small branch of the Arisian river. The settlement is the nameless district Ma Dame Fan gave to human refugees six months ago.

I don't know what the reason was for the old Grandma but her decision didn't solve the problem. Being outside the city walls of Pei Jin means being outside the protection of the Yggdrasil Tree. In other words, in addition to feeling the intense discrimination in this Daemon city, these refugee humans still have to face the poisonous Superadical Snowstorm.

My heart is sad to see the wood they use in the settlement is only the remains of the demolished buildings or the former war shield with paint still attached to it. The roofs of their houses are just a collection of dried coconut branches, embroidered potluck and still have broad sides. If a fire breaks out, all the buildings in this miserable district will be gone in a matter of minutes.

A cynical and desperate gaze dyed throughout my journey. The elderly sat bemoaning the ground with a beer bottle in their hands, trying to dull the pain of life with a drop of alcohol. The children looked at me with their male eyes and protruding belly, with reddened and thin hair, sad but not crying, happy but not smiling.

If only the human doctor did not live in this district, where would I step foot in this miserable place. But damn it, Ma Dame Fan appointed me governor of this district again. Araraas.

Suddenly a group of thugs blocked my path. A bald man with a claw scar in his eyes, looked at me fiercely.

“Enough to there.”

Arthur wanted to pull out his sword, but I stopped him immediately. Carefully, I approached the group of thugs and asked.

“Good morning gentlemen, I am Clair, a merchant from Pei Jin who wants to see doctor Oe to heal my nephew. May I know where I can find a doctor?” my many.

If they weren't skinny and hungry, those thugs would look scary. But, now I am confused to have to choose between pity or sorry to see their condition.

The bald man approached me and puffed out his chest, “As long as I live, I will not let you step into our settlement, Putri Mentari,” he said looking at me fiercely, saying,

The thick aroma of humans wafted from the various corners of the alley. My breath, it looks like me and Arthur are surrounded.

I called out a black fire twitching in my hand. Only a second can I maintain the magic before my magic circuit overheats and the fire disappears miserably.

“The evil wizard—The Princess Mentari is dead. How could that great magician have a flawed magic circuit like me?” I said that rolled up my sleeves and showed my magic circuit collapsing,

“I'm just an aunt who wants to take her niece to see doctor Oe.”

But the people watching are warming up the bald guy, “Don't trust Roger! Because of that demon, we lost our house!”

Other residents began to swarm in us and were unpretentious, “If the Noctis Family did not spread the Nyght Plague for their greed, everyone here would not lose their family!”

“Stop him, Roger!”

Hmmm. The beauty of Mentari will certainly not be easily forgotten by the people of Kinje. But that beauty is a curse to me. If this is the way, the newspaper reporters will soon publish the headline “A high magician Pei Jin was thumped by anonymous district residents.”

Shuddering in horror I imagined how furious Ma Dame Fan would be if I knew I failed to live up to his expectations. Besides, it seemed like Arthur was already itching to pull out his sword.

“Do not, Artie. Patience.”

“T-But, they—“

“Already, trust me. I have a plan kok.”

A moment after I said that, someone hit my head with wood. It was so hard that the wood was crushed and I slammed into the ground.

“What are you doing?! Didn't I say, as long as I lead this district, no blood can be spilled in vain?” roger yelled to grab the collar of the young man who had just hit me.

… Gawat. I was annoyed enough to immediately devour them with the roots of my darkness. But I harbor this frustration. Because, the last thing I wanted to do was show that unflattering aspect of me to Arthur.

“A-Auntie!” yelled Arthur who shook my body, “T-No, no, don't be like this—“

I sat up straight all of a sudden, “I'm not dead yet, Artie,” said I was standing quietly. Inside my silver hair strands, silently the black roots sewed up the wounds on my head, and there was no need for it, healed him as before.

“M-M-Monster, Hiiii!!”

But still, the sight of a woman casually rising from such a deadly attack frightened all the thugs. Some ran away, some immediately prostrated before my feet begging for forgiveness, some even cried hysterically.

Protecting the young man who beat me, Roger looked at me with regret, “If Dame doesn't want it to happen again, go and don't come back in this district.”

The look in his eyes was frightened. For a Daemon who was beaten in a nameless district would have fatal consequences for them. Being expelled from this district was the best possibility. Daemon's law knows no mercy. Most likely they will exterminate the human refugees in this district.

I looked at the nameless district carefully. The soil around the district is wet, but it is actually fertile because the Arisia river flows here far from the contamination of factories in Makinayastra district. I can also grow my various magic medicinal herbs easily here, plus I am the owner of this wialyah, in other words, all this land I got for free!

Humans are natural magicians who can control magic well. When trained well, they can help me create various magic compounds that I can sell. And if they are mine now, doesn't that mean I can get free power?

God, why didn't I think of that? I can make a magic chemical factory here! Without me noticing my illusions, imagining a flood of money that would soon come my way.

N-No, no, no, Moon, calm down. Don't let greed make you reckless. Don't forget, you have something these humans want.

I also cleared my throat and took a jar filled with light seeds from my bag.

“I-Thickness of Yggdrasil Tree seeds?” roger said.

“One stop, Uncle. Hmm I originally wanted to offer you these Yggdrasil seeds. But after the treatment I received, it seemed, I had to undo my intentions,” I said that stuffed the jar back into the bag.

“Wait a minute!” said the young man who beat me up, immediately slapped his head on the ground and begged me, please,

“A-A-I beg you, Ma Dame, please forgive all the humans here. I'm the one responsible for my mistake!”

“Your life is nothing compared to this young seedling. Do you know Kings from various places bid the price of this seedling up to a million gold pieces?” I said.

Suddenly Roger interrupts, “Witch with Yggdrasil seedlings.. You, do-don't—“.

I smiled too, “Truely, I am the White Witch, the new governor of this nameless District.”

Realizing my position, everyone immediately bent their knees before me. A very soon regret silenced their mouths. But out of nowhere, Roger begged me,

“Ma Dame Agung, I beg you, please forgive this error.”

I folded my hands looking at them amusedly, “Different to the kind-hearted Ma Dame Fan, I am a fair Witch. Any blood spilled on my land will be paid for with blood,” answered me who then raised the head of the young man who beat me.

“You are ready to bear the consequences?”

The young man closed his eyes as I sharpened my nails. Unwilling to face death, but still maintaining his pride, the man tightened his jaw. Ready to take my revenge.

“K-You don't have to do it,” said Arthur prevented me.

I'm just laughing, “You're too naive, Artie. When dealing with babu, you can't be half-and-half.”

When all my heart felt like stopping, I gave my punishment to the man. A hard beat with my fist, hard enough that he smelled the ground.

“Already, your mistake paid,” I said lift the young man's face and clean it, “Next, be careful before acting, understand?”

“Ma Dame... not killing me?”

I bent my head in wonder, “Why should I kill my precious assets?”

“Asset?” ask the young man.

I stood up and called out a giant gold contract. I loudly shouted, “If you want Yggdrasil Seedlings, work until you meet the value you deserve. This contract will bind you and all subsequent descendants until the debt is repaid.”

“K-You want us to sell our souls and our descendants to you?” ask Roger.

“Accordingly Roger. I thought you would understand soon,” said I who then offered the contract to him as the first person to sign the contract,

“Between a miserable life as a slave or a miserable death as a free man, which one will you choose, O Man?”
