The Kitsune's Cursed Hero

Chapter 15

Yn/'s POV

"Please spare me. Have mercy on me." Idol begged. Big sis pushed the tip of her sword closer to Idol's throat as he whimpered. "After killing so many demihumans in that underground chamber of yours? You dare beg for your life?" Big sis asked.

"You're not... It can't be. One of my enslaved villagers? An animal like you? A damned demi?" Idol asked. I clenched my fist tight as I growled, hearing him call big sis a 'damned demi.' "Wait! Wait a moment. You'd all be dead. The lot of you would be dead like dogs if I hadn't taken you in like that." Idol said, trying to save his own life. Big sis raised her blade, pushing it closer. "Keep your mouth shut! You think I can forget the atrocities you've committed? Not til I die. I'll never forget what you've done!" Big sis shouted. She raised her sword, ready to kill Idol where he sat. "I'm sorry, I was wrong. I'll apologize. I swear." Idol said, bowing to big sis. I stepped towards big sis as I glared at Idol. "Apologize to who? The ones who've died? The ones who you haven't killed?" I asked. Big sis raised her arm, quieting me as I looked at her before staying quiet. "This scumbag here... He took Rifana and he...." Big sis started. She raised her sword above her head, ready to cut Idol down. "No. Please don't!" Idol begged. He collapsed to the floor, crying as he begged for his life. "Raphtalia." Big brother said. I saw big sis hesitate as she heard big brother calling her. "I can't imagine how you feel, but will killing him help you get closure? You've become stronger over time. And not just with your sword." Big brother said. 

Big sis lowered her sword as she looked at Idol on the floor. "You're a terrible person. A monster who put demihumans through hell then killed them. I'll never forgive you, but if I kill you, I won't be any different from the disgusting worm you are." Big sis said. Idol's breathing was shaking as I felt anger coming from him. Deep in my heart, I felt a fire burning as I looked at Idol. I took a deep breath trying to calm down, but the fire kept burning and growing as thoughts of demihumans being killed and tortured by this man filled my mind. "So I've decided to let you live. That way, you can atone for the sins you've committed in this place." Big sis said.

"Damn you demihuman. You scum, now you die!" Idol shouted. He got up from the floor, drawing his sword as I stomped my foot, causing a path of ice spikes to travel towards him. The ice spikes gathered around his feet before holding him in place. "Idol. You've caused nothing but pain for demihumans." I said, glaring at him. I felt the Kitsune's presence appear behind me as I took another step towards him. Idol looked at me in fear before big sis stepped in front of me. "He's mine. Lady Rei, if you'd please release Y/n from your emotions." Big sis asked. I felt the presence leave from behind me as I heard a laugh from inside my mind. "Who's Rei?" I asked.

"Later." Big sis said, as I heard the ice shatter. Idol came charging towards us before big sis clashed with him while keeping me behind her. He forced her sword back before grabbing her wounded arm. Big sis gasped in pain as Idol forced her sword from her hands. Idol tried to slash big sis but she dodged it before drawing her mana sword and stabbing him through the chest. Idol groaned in pain as he looked at big sis before kicking her back. "Curse you! Demi's don't deserver to live. I..." Idol started. He stepped back before stepping on the whip handle and rolling on it. He fell towards the window before hitting it as it shattered under his weight. Idol fell out of the window before hitting the ground below. "Good riddance." I said, turning away from the window. I walked over to big sis as I looked at her before hugging her. "Don't ever do that again." I begged. Big sis returned my hug as she sat up while patting the back of my head. "Master Naofumi, I..." Big sis started.

"Forget it. It's not your fault." Big brother said. I looked at big sis as I saw big brother's hand patting her head. "It's going to be alright." Big brother said.

"Sir shield hero, Lady kitsune hero. I can't thank you enough for saving my life." Reichnott said. Melty rushed over to him as he leaned against the door. "Reichnott, are you hurt?" Melty asked.
