I Became a Foreigner Loved by Transcendentalists

41 – Episode 41. Mad Clown

Marilyn said.

Her own playing interferes with a person’s emotions, highlighting the most obvious emotions that he or she is currently feeling.

And that means that it makes all other emotions except that one fade away.

Just as I exerted enormous concentration on the desire to survive when I heard the performance, it is clear that everyone who heard the performance will feel a surge of emotions.

“Krrr, ugh!”

“I can’t stand it anymore. I can’t stand it… !”

Demons with warlike tendencies who are faithful to their own desires fall into a thirst for slaughter and battle.

“I don’t want to die. “I don’t want to die!”

“Everyone stay still. “If I run away from here, I don’t know what those orcs will do!”

Humans who are inferior to them will not be so frightened that they will be overcome by the urge to escape this place at any moment.

Nevertheless, there is only one reason why all of them have been able to remain calm until now.

This was because the overwhelmingly powerful one who reigned between them controlled this space with his spirit alone.

“…… “Human Hyosung Woo.”

Hell Cry.

He was born as an orc, rose to the top of the Demon King’s army, and is strong enough to make even the most aggressive demons tremble with fear.

“Do you know what it means to point a spear at me?”

But if such a strong person also feels emotions and becomes immersed in them, wouldn’t there be a possibility that he would go on a rampage for the honorable battle he so desperately pursues?

“f*ck… …. “You look like a pushover because I show you some manners!?”

Of course, I am aware that this is crazy, but if the person in front of me is also buried in emotions.

I might go on a rampage right here and destroy everything, despite the promises I made before.

“Get out of that place right now. Otherwise… ….”

“Otherwise, what are you going to do?”

If my life was to be lost so meaninglessly, I would at least struggle rather than sit and wait.

When I was losing my composure and being overcome by such impulses, he stood there quietly and quietly spoke to me.

“Are you going to rush at me with your dying body and end up meaninglessly extinguishing the life you barely saved?”

“Shut up! “You think I can’t do it!?”

A head overheating due to a pounding heart.

The emotions that came rushing out from that eventually made me throw the spear I was holding in my hand at him.

-Quaak!

A spear that gets stuck in the chest without resistance.

However, the tip only went in slightly and could not even properly pierce the skin.

This is a natural result. No matter how much it is an ego weapon made of mithril, in the end, it is the weapon I use.

If my power is poor, neither my brilliant sharpness nor the explosion of magical power will be able to function properly.

“Yes, I can feel it.”

Despite such insignificant throwing.

The monster that blocked my path didn’t even sneer, it just grabbed the spear and continued its evaluation in a cold voice.

“How miserable you have been during the current attack, and how much you have endured… …. And the fact that this moment of bravery is not just out of fear, but is exercised for something more precious than my life.”

A spear pulled out from the chest.

Afterwards, Hell Cry, who was looking down at it, continued his words, quietly looking down at it as if he was lost in his thoughts.

“I was like that at one time too.”

It was a retrospective.

Looking at the struggles I’ve made now, it’s as if I’m recalling the path I’ve taken at this moment.

“Coming from humble origins, I fought desperately, and when I thought that was not enough, I ran all the way here in pursuit of something greater. People think that just sowing seeds and dying is enough……. “To leave behind the compatriots who thought their whole life was to make the bloodlines that spread like that repeat the same path again, and to leave something more meaningful to this world.”

One step at a time.

He took steps towards me that didn’t even contain any threat, and then he quickly held out the spear in his hand towards me.

“… That’s why I’m seething at this moment.”

Although the words spoken with him were quiet, their weight felt greater than that of Sloth, who had risked his life with me.

More than that, it also involves a lot of patience.

“Rather than trampling on the person who hurt my heart in front of me, I wonder how you will grow in the future after surviving this…. “The desire to see that future dominates me now.”

Do not kill me.

Even the desire to kill him is suppressed with a mental strength that surpasses that of me who threw the spear with a sense of danger towards him.

“So, I will ask everyone here!”

Nevertheless, I hold my boiling emotions in my throat and let them out.

“You really didn’t feel anything during this fight!?”

I shout and say that.

Even the spirit that was suppressing them has been erased, and those watching this scene calm their emotions and pay attention to this place.

“What did I feel when I saw an empty being who could only survive because he could not die, accepting even the end and ending his life without resistance? “What did you feel when you saw this weak warrior fighting desperately to survive, even though he was just living because he couldn’t die!!”

Without the spirit of victory and fear that had been rampant all along.

Just seeing him receive my weapon, I express my sympathy as if I am buried in his voice.

“Yes, whatever you feel, it is clear that everything will affect the path you take forward! In this world, feeling proud of leaving your mark on others and influencing their lives is what this world calls honor…….”

He drew sympathy from the crowd, turned the body that gave me the spear, and grabbed his mace, which he had sunk into the ground.

He raises the mace and speaks to me.

“You, Hellcry, acknowledge you for proving your potential to receive such honor. “Your body may still be weak and the fight may have been cruel, but you, who achieved victory at the end, are by no means miserable.”

Gives meaning to my struggles.

At this moment, I want to pour the desire that controls me into opening the path to the future, in addition to the power to wield the mace.

“So go.”

-Kwaaang!!

“Go, warrior!!!”

The moment when all the soil and rocks accumulated on the collapsed cliff flew away.

When even the remaining dust was swept away by the strong wind and an open field was revealed, Hell Cry, who opened the path for me to advance, slammed the mace in his hand into the ground and shouted.

“I salute you for the potential you have shown, and I will sincerely congratulate you on your survival as you leave this place! And remember this after you leave here! The next time we meet, the respect we have now will be as warrior-to-warrior, for each other. “It will lead to a fight where fate is at stake!!!”

His trembling hands mean that he still has a desire to fight.

Nevertheless, he does not rush to me, but is showing patience after patience, dreaming of being reunited with me.

I felt respect from a corner of my heart for him who looked forward to the future and showed mercy to me now.

“…… Okay.”

Yes, he was a warrior.

He was born to simply pursue the propagation of the species, and even though he belonged to the Demon Lord’s army that threatened humanity, he was a person who realized what honor meant.

So I didn’t say thank you to him.

This is only a postponement.

I realized that even if I survive here, if I don’t take advantage of this opportunity, the death that should have happened at this moment will happen at his hands.

“I’m looking forward to it. “On the day we meet again… Then I will give you something that will satisfy you.”

So, after only telling him what he wanted, I left his side and ran over the cliff to be faithful to the reprieve that had come.

There was no hesitation.

My body was in so much pain that it had reached its limit, but there was still something I couldn’t accomplish except now.

“Hey, hey, are you okay!?”

“I really thought I would survive and beat that monster……. Uh, huh!? Where on earth are you going!?”

Even though I heard the cries of the adventurers who survived with me from behind, I just looked ahead and ran toward the dark forest.

I don’t know what awaits me ahead.

Walking through the darkness where I can’t even tell what’s ahead, my head might fall off before I even realize it.

“Meryl… ….”

Nevertheless, I chose to move forward without hesitation.

Even though I stopped playing at some point, to be faithful to the greatest desire I have at this moment.

“Marilyn… …. “You’re safe, right?”

Marilyn Surgeland.

I hope that my relationship with the woman who saved my life will continue even after this moment passes.

****

-Whoa.

As the performance came to an end, a fresh wind blew through the dark forest.

There, the clown, who had been silently concentrating only on the excitement of the performance, quietly opened his eyes and looked back at the scene unfolding around him.

A scene covered in blood everywhere.

Underneath, demons, beastmen, and humans were lying equally, without any particular distinction.

Most of them belonged to demons or beastmen.

The reason the number of humans is relatively small is probably because their desires in the face of this situation are focused on survival.

Unlike the demons and beastmen who were eager to kill and fight each other, they were just focused on escaping the situation.

It felt a little ironic from her perspective that she had sent humans alive even though she had not intended to do so.

“…… hehehehe.”

Yes, it was a feeling that would only last for a moment.

The reason she makes her journey is to create a story that will please her lord.

In the process, the humans we encountered along the way were so insignificant that they could be extinguished after briefly burning the last flame.

The same goes for demons and beastmen.

If there is one person among them who stands out in my memory, it would be the person who has the mental strength to remain sane even after listening to his own performance…

“As expected, it’s strong. You are.”

A frantic battlefield where people forgot even the fear of death and fought faithfully to each other’s desires.

After the fierce battle, the only person who survived was the white bear beastman who was the leader of the anti-human coalition.

“Since we are meeting face-to-face like this, let’s start with a clear statement. “What is your name?”

-Kuzik.

The white bear beast, trampling the corpses scattered on the floor with its heavy feet, looked down coldly at the clown who was facing him with a smile.

“… “Phobia.”

In such a very quiet manner… ….

I just introduce myself to the person who incited the current tragedy.

“This is Phobia Homer, the assault leader of the Anti-Human Coalition.”

“Yes, nice to meet you, Mr. Phobia.”

Lute strings plucking and ringing with exciting voices.

“My name is Marylin Surgeland, and I am a humble clown who wanders the world in search of stories.”

Phobia, who had suppressed the strange power she felt from him with her mental power, glared at her with a low growl.

“Get rid of the lame jokes. “I figured out a long time ago that the person with such a disgusting smell couldn’t be just a lowly clown.”

“The disgusting smell, it’s too much to say…”

No, I lost consciousness when I first broke in, but now that I have finally regained my composure, I can clearly sense the smell.

She looks like a human on the outside, but even that is just a disguise.

“Oh, then, did you hate homos*xuality?”

The clown, who smiled calmly in such a disguised manner, brushed off Phobia’s anger without notice.

“I’m saying this because you seem to misunderstand, but he just approached me on his own and I have no interest in that kind of thing. “Because I have never loved anyone before.”

Love.

An emotion that is hotter than anything else, but is accompanied by devotion to the object.

For a race that pursues desire from birth and develops power through such desire, love was considered poison.

If such a species ever felt love, it would simply be mistaking s*xual desire for an attractive member of the opposite s*x for love.

“Yes, there is no way demons would know things like love.”

Phobia, who recognized her identity through her scent, took this moment to tremble and grind his teeth at the memories of her that came to mind.

“If I had known what love was, that damn b*tch wouldn’t have trampled on my hometown and family so cruelly.”

“… Have you lost your family to my own people?”

“The forces are hostile, but there is no personal grudge against the demons themselves. “If there’s anything I hate, it’s disgusting homos*xuals who belittle the act of raising children like the b*tch who trampled on my hometown.”

It is not uncommon for demons to belittle other people’s property and relationships.

However, among them, she remembered that there was only one person who preferred her homos*xuality and was capable of destroying the group of beastmen who were born superior to humans.

A being of equal stature to oneself.

“And even excluding personal grudges, I am the assault leader of the Union. “If you are related to the damn devil’s inner circle, there is no way I can send you back as there is a possibility of threatening the power.”

“It’s related, but that’s a bit absurd. “To begin with, not all demons belong to the demon king’s army.”

“No, you will definitely belong to the Demon King’s army. The terrible smell emanating from his body proves it. “You have a power that cannot be compared to the idiots scattered around here.”

The eyes of phobia are narrowed.

After finding the opposite s*x, my gaze, which had always remained calm, gradually began to take on a bloody color.

“And your b*tch introduced herself as a clown. “Even though he had this much power, as far as I know, there was only one person in the Demon King’s army who would call himself a clown.”

The fact that those who heard her performance at this scene fell into madness and tried to kill each other is also proof of this.

Her identity was soon revealed from the mouth of Phobia Homer, the leader of the Anti-Human Coalition who was the only one to survive the scene of the massacre.

“The highest ranking officer in the Demon King’s Army….”

“Four Heavenly Kings, Mephisto Reiji.”

Lee Myung, a crazy clown.

2Nd place in the current Demon King’s army.
