Chapter 9

(I want to die.) When was the last time she wished for that? This is not the first time she has been deprived. The village where she lived with her family was burned to the ground. Her childhood friend was killed and then abandoned in the river, and her parents were burned to death in front of her eyes. 　All the villagers were killed. Only she survived. For some reason, only she was spared. To this day, the reason is still unknown. The fact that she was left alone and survived did not seem to make her happy. 　A girl could not survive on her own, and after wandering around, she was captured by bandits. 　She spent her days as a slave. Symmora did not find any meaning to her life. 　Fortunately, she was less than 10 years old when she was captured, so she was not targeted by the men. 　But it was only a matter of time. 　Her body was growing against her will. 　Finally, the day came.　 One of the men had lusted after her and assaulted her. 　Symmora stared at him emotionlessly. 　It felt as if it was someone else's problem. 　Symmora looked at the sky as if she had given up. She looked at the dark sky, where she could not see anything. In the dark forest, a man who looked like a filthy man was about to take away something precious from her. 'Ha-ha-ha!　Rejoice, bandits!　Today is the anniversary of your death!　I present you with a grand slaughter!" 　Suddenly, the boy's voice - Ark's - echoed through the forest. 　　I've heard that bandits have been running amok in my territory lately. 　It's been that way for a long time. But I can no longer ignore them. 　This is my territory. It is forbidden to take my property without my permission. They deserve to die. 　And lately, I'm getting tired of using magic on my soldiers. 　I can't kill them, so I have to go easy on them every time. 　I want to use magic at full. 　On the other hand, I don't mind killing bandits. 　I will use the bandits as test subjects for my magic. 　So I'm going to go on a bandit hunt. 　As I was about to go out to hunt bandits, Lampard yelled at me. "No,　if we lose you now, what will happen to us? There is no need for Master Ark to go all the way out there!" Hmmm, you're a disrespectful fellow, aren't you? I'm not going to drop dead, am I? I mean, I'm not leaving by myself, so I should be fine. I'm going to take the soldiers of the domain with me. 　Ha-ha-ha-ha! I'm so proud to be a count that I can take the soldiers along on my fun! 　No matter what Lampard says, I'm going to kill the bandits. "It makes perfect sense for me to go. I can't leave it to anyone else. Don't stop me, Lampard.' "If you insist so much, Master Ark, ...... I will not stop you." 　So I went hunting for bandits. Bandits were great. I didn't have to hold back any of my strength. 　I could go on a rampage! Hee hee hee! "Aaah!" "Run!" "Arc the Madman!" 　The bandits run around screaming. 　I mercilessly kick the crap out of the bandits. 　I love hunting bandits! This is the aristocrat's way of having fun! It's a lot more fun than hunting! 　The bandits begged for their lives. "Please spare me, I'll do anything　!" "I'm leaving this territory!　So please spare my life!" 　Ha-ha-ha-ha! What a bunch of miserable living beings! "Hey, you! Maggots, scum worms, do you know who I am?" "Yes, Count Galm. ......" "Let me hear you say it. " "Count Galm!" "Yes. Then you know the answer, don't you?　I am very guilty of taking what belongs to me." The bandits looked at me with horror. But I am kind. "You're going to spare me?" "What?　You'll have to die before you can talk in your sleep." I was killing bandits and destroying their base like that, and there were no more bandits in my territory. 　Damn. 　So that's it. 　Boring. For the time being, I decided to get the guys who had been captured by the bandits. For the time being, I decided to hire them and put them to work for a small salary. I also got a secret mine. I was just getting tired of cutting bandits. 　Next, let's make money! 　　Shinmora. She is a character who rarely appears in the original story. 　However, she is one of the important characters. 　She is a childhood friend of the main character. 　There is a time when the main character goes to Garm territory with Lancelot and others. At that time, the main character meets his childhood friend, Sinmora. 　But it is already too late. She had been played around with by the bandits, and her mind and body were no longer in a normal state. The main character can see his childhood friend, whom he thought was dead, but he is forced to see the cruelty of Sinmora. Then, Simmola breathes her last with the relief of seeing the protagonist. 　The story ends in a way that is typical of depressing anime, leaving the protagonist traumatized. That is the original storyline of Sinmora. But in this reality, Simmora is saved by Arc's interventions. She was then assigned to work in the Garum territory. 　As she works for Arc, Simmora gradually regains her will to live. Ark, however, unexpectedly caused a major scenario crash in the original story by saving the protagonist's childhood friend.
