Chapter Title: I Won't Forgive You
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"DEJAAAAAHHH!!!!"
Flash!
I grabbed George by the collar and hoisted him high into the air like I was doing a clean and jerk.
"Kuhk...!"
Completely beaten to a pulp, ragged and torn, he couldn't even muster the slightest resistance—he just let out a low wail. No matter how much mana he'd used to reinforce his body, getting absolutely demolished like this left him nothing but a ragdoll.
"George! You know what a bamboo helicopter is?!!!"
"Kuh... hack! What the hell is...!"
This bastard not only insulted me, but dared to interfere in a sacred duel? Whether he's the third son of some powerful baron's family or whatever—doesn't matter one bit.
I'm just giving back exactly what Kim Katt received!
"It's the section chief helicopter, you assholeee!!!!"
Whirr whirr!!
I spun George, held high overhead, like a high-performance propeller, round and round and round.
"Uwaaaaaahhh!!!!!!!"
George's pathetic screams Doppler-shifted as he rotated. This was practically a centrifuge. A few more spins and he'd fly straight home.
I absolutely can't let him go home!!!!!!!
"You who carved out my heart—!!!!!!"
Satisfied with the spin, I positioned to slam him into the ground.
Guessing what I was about to do, he yelled desperately.
"N-No!!!"
"I absolutely won't forgive you!!!!!"
Whoosh!
I smashed George into the ground with all my might!!!!!
Boom!
"Gujaak!!!!!!!!!"
Letting out a grotesque scream, George convulsed the moment he hit the dirt, like he'd been struck by lightning.
From what I'd seen, this bastard's low intelligence was clearly due to inhuman child abuse from Baron Hilen when he was young. So, to fix it, I'd have to dish out the same kind of beating.
Shock therapy—maybe reliving those memories would cure him. Tedious work, but as a fusion Confucian guardian, it was my duty.
"I'm Doctor Kim Katt."
It was the duty of a doctor like me.
Anyway, I'd finished off George, so next up was Hilen's eldest daughter.
I pointed straight at her and bellowed.
"You're next, Hilen Eldest Daughter!!!! Even if you're the baron family's precious firstborn—I don't give a damn!!! I'm just paying back every insult, humiliation, shame, and disgrace I received!!!!!! You have to become a victim of the propeller too!!!!"
"Kee, keeyak! St-Stop!!!"
I immediately grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up—her dust-covered blue hair dangled down.
"Stooop!!!!"
No forgiveness even if she screamed!
"Daring to mock me with that shitty jeweled sword is the greatest sin of all!!!!!"
"Don't do iiiit!!!!!"
Thud!!!
"Kyahaak...!"
And with that, slamming Hilen's eldest daughter into the ground brought the duel to an end.
I stomped on her screaming back and declared.
"My victory!!!! No one can overturn the result of this sacred duel!!!! Now, get up! And as promised, apologize to me! And apologize to Lady Isvant standing over there too!!!!!"
"Ugh, uuuugh...!"
"I said get up!!!!"
"Y-Yes!!!"
Stagger stagger.
At my words, the two rose unsteadily. Or tried to. Battered and broken, they couldn't even stand properly—they just vomited blood, clutched their dangling arms, and wobbled.
These bastards!
I yanked Hilen's eldest daughter's ear and roared.
"I said get up!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Kya, kyat!!!"
Shiver shiver shiver.
Only then did the two come to their senses, leaning on each other to barely stand. Even in this situation, showing sibling bond...!
I can't allow that insane crap! Why? Because sibling love is human culture! For non-humans like these bastards to show it is a sin!
"Who told you to stand!! Losers should kneel!!!!"
"B-But you just said to get up!!"
"Figure it out yourself, you half-beaten fuck!! Who told you to talk back!!!!"
Whoosh!
I jumped and planted a double dropkick into their guts—they flew backward, barely having stood.
Boom!
"Uwaaaahhh!!!!"
"Kyaaaahhh!!!"
They screamed, twisted, and finally snapped to it—quickly propping up their torsos and kneeling.
Acting before more beatings?
Satisfied, I kindly explained to them.
"Smash your heads down!!!! Hurry!!!!!"
"Kuhk...!"
"Hic, huuugh...!"
And so, the two siblings from Baron Hilen's family bashed their heads before me.
The sacred and exalted duel was over, so now it was time for the promised apologies.
"Grandpa, fuck."
I watched them kowtow, then squatted down and spoke.
"You, George, you fuck. I kindly warned you not to call me husband, right? What? Lowborn? Are you fucking insane? You talk like that to your own mom too? Huh?"
"..."
"Why aren't you talking, fuck!!!!"
"H-Huaaaak!!! I-I'm sorry!"
"I asked if you're gonna talk, not if you're sorry, you thick-skulled illiterate fuck!!!!"
Unable to hold my rage, I gave George five or so chestnuts to the back of his head.
"Kuaaaaaahhh!!!"
The shock of the chestnuts made George collapse, clutching his head and screaming like a madman.
This bastard just wouldn't learn till the end.
Wasn't Baron Hilen's family the most powerful among the kingdom's barons? Makes sense—if they're the strongest, they'd have that pride. Even if it's just baseless arrogance.
That's probably why these bastards so boldly messed with Lady Isvant.
Nobles never bow to anyone. Even if they're at a disadvantage, even if they started it, even if the other's stronger—they rarely yield.
That's the ecology of nobles.
The moment you bow to a stronger noble, you lose—so they don't submit. They've got wealth and soldiers—why surrender?
If there's a fight, they just fight.
To protect their rice bowl.
If the powerful bowed every time the opponent was stronger, the world would've been unified long ago. Humans always fight fiercely to protect their rights.
Whether it's delusion or real.
"But a beating changes your mind!!!! I'll hit you till you talk right!!!! That's what a sacred duel is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Violence is always the answer!
If they stay stubborn, just beat 'em! I kicked George's side as he kowtowed to vent my stress!
Thud!
"K-Khak!!! Kahak!"
Getting beaten again, George wailed pitifully.
"Sorry! I'm sorry! I was wrong!! Sorry for insulting you!!!"
"You said you didn't insult me earlier! Why change your tune now, fuck!!! Like your mom swapping guys!!!"
Mentioning his mom, George looked up at me.
"M-Mom's here...! Why...!"
"Ha, look at this bastard?"
Time to smash a wild pear into his balls to knock some sense in.
I don't know if it's official, but interfering in a sacred duel means bursting the balls for castration. Perfect—these are the ball siblings. Fitting punishment.
"S-Sorry!!! Please don't hit George anymore...!! I was wrong!!"
Just as I went for George's balls, Hilen's eldest daughter hugged my ankle and wailed.
"Heh heh heh, Eldest Daughter. Your brother's that important?"
"Y-Yes... important! I was wrong! Please forgive us!"
"Good. Nice answer, so I'll forgive you opening your mouth first like a cocky bitch."
"Thank you...!!"
"But earlier you were so fucking arrogant—sudden change of heart?"
"Th-That..."
"Where'd your noble pride go? Used it to blow your nose? Huh?"
"..."
"Why aren't you talking!"
"I-I used it! Used it to blow my nose...!"
"Heh heh heh! Lady! This bastard wants to apologize to you!!!"
I turned to the lady watching the duel and yelled. Somehow she'd gotten a fancy chair from the soldiers, fanning her face while watching us.
"Oh~ ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!!! Truly exhilarating!!! A duel overflowing with thrill!!!! This is what they mean by barbarian ferocity!!!!!! This is the true, honorable, and just way to settle disputes!!!!!!!!!"
Snap!
The lady crisply folded her fan, stood, and shouted grandly.
"Hilen Eldest Daughter!!! You rampaged trusting that magic sword and got crushed in one second!!!! Play with toys like that at home—why bring it out?! Do dress-up in your family manor!!!"
"Kuhk...!"
"Won't you apologize!!!"
"F-For the insult... I apologize, Lady Isvant...! Kuhk! I was wrong...!"
"Oh~ ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!!! Tongueless loser talks well!!!!"
The lady, in high spirits, covered her mouth with her hand and laughed brightly. Yeah, anyone laughing is beautiful.
"This duel was at your request, Eldest Daughter, and I was the witness!!!! Everyone here is a witness too!!!! From now on, check the facts before rampaging!! This mess started with the third son too!!!"
Her smile fading, the lady strode over fiercely and glared down at the siblings.
"Third Son!!! Don't you need to apologize too, you fuck?! For throwing pick-up lines at a married woman like a dog in heat, and for your rude, stupid behavior—apologize!!!"
"..."
But George stayed silent.
I immediately kicked his side.
Thud!
"Kuhaaak!!"
"You dare shut your mouth while the lady speaks! Wanna die!!!!"
"St-Stop! I'm sorry! Sorry for the pick-up line! Sorry for being rude and stupid! Forgive me!!!"
"Too late, bastard!!!"
"Oh~ ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!!!! Barbarian warrior! You're truly capable!!!! How do you resolve things so cleanly!!!!!"
"Heh heh heh! Thank you!"
Through merciless beatings, I got sincere apologies from Baron Hilen's family. No injuries on my end, no hassle. Just smashed some worthless fucks.
Best of all, the lady vented her stress and smiled again.
"Soldiers! Call a healer and priest to treat them!!! They'll die like this!!!"
With the incident wrapped up, the lady ordered her soldiers.
"N-No need... We can get back like this..."
Hilen's eldest daughter bowed to us and refused.
Probably heading straight back to the family.
"Then do that!!!!"
And that was that.
The eldest daughter and third son supported each other, practically crawling away. Even slum rats wouldn't move like that.
What was all that noble pride? Worthless after a beating.
"Live strong in the mountains!"
I waved goodbye to them.
Those bastards will probably retaliate once back home, but I can't kill them here. No choice. But I'll head to the capital soon anyway—doesn't matter.
Once I officially become Saint Cardia's direct paladin through procedure, nothing to fear.
"You did splendidly, barbarian warrior!!! This is the first time in my life I've felt so refreshed!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!"
The lady bounced with joy, grabbing my shoulder.
"No! I should thank you!! All this was possible because you witnessed the duel!!!!! Thank you for the chance to smash those arrogant fucks!!!!!"
"Oh~ ho ho ho ho ho ho!!! As expected of the etiquette-knowing barbarian warrior!! More cultured than most civilized folk, knowing manners so well!!!! I like you a lot!!"
"Heh heh heh heh heh!!!! Thank you!!!!!"
The lady and I laughed happily for a good while.
"Ah, fuck, this is so goddamn fun I can't stand it!!! Worthless shits need a beating!!! As a noble, I can't hit them myself!!! Applause for you who did it for me!!!! Soldiers! Why aren't you clapping!!!!!"
Clap clap clap clap clap!!!
Clap clap clap clap clap!!!
Clap clap clap clap clap!!!
Clap clap clap clap clap!!!
Her soldiers had gathered unnoticed, lined up and clapping crisply. Receiving applause felt pretty good.
"If those Hilen bastards try harming you, tell me!!! As duel witness, I have cause!! I'll protect you for sure!"
"Thank you!!!!"
