To Be a Power in the Shadows!-Chapter 133
SHADOWING 133 (NON-EDITED)
Yukime and Gettan
Yukime’s tribe were forced to side with the bigger clan.
They would be forced to recruit their people to fight and after that only the retaliation from the opposing tribe awaits. It was a choice with no correct answer. The Fox tribe and the great wolf tribe had a talk and they give their answers.
Don’t bother, neither hostile. （TLC: proverb どちらにも味方せず、どちらにも敵対しない。 ）
The answer they came up with at the last minute was an opportunistic and foolish answer. They did not understand the ruthlessness of war.
The Great Wolf tribe is powerful.
The Spirit Fox (Yoko) tribe has its wisdom.
They thought that if they joined hands, they could overcome this conflict.
But the reality was not so naive.
Their villages were destroyed with only one night.
The village was bathed in blood and burned down.
The strongest warrior of the Great Wolf tribe, Gettan could only struggle and escape with only just his fiance.
The sun rose and the two looked back at their village that was already burnt black.
[If only I have more power…..]
[You already fought well.]
Yukime snuggles close to the injured Gettan.
[If only I had more power, they wouldn’t get taken away…]
[No, it’s not your fault.]
[Shut up, SHUT UP !]
Gettan’s angry voice make Yukime’s fox ears shiver and hang down.
[……….Sorry.]
[It’s fine…….]
Gettan hung his head and said.
[It was my suggestion. That if we have this power, we can overcome the war without choosing sides.]
[Power…….?]
[This.]
What Gettan took out was a blood red tablet.
[It’s the source of power. If you consume it, you will gain tremendous power. But everyone was against it, they said that instead of relying on such a pill let’s work together and overcome this war…….Those damn fools, I should have killed them sooner.]
Yukime takes a step back from the grumbling Gettan.
[Gettan…….?]
[Say Yukime, the one who killed your mother was me.]
[W…What are you saying?]
Yukime’s mother was attacked by the enemy tribe and disappeared. Yukime hoped that she would still be alive somewhere.
[Because that woman refused, my plan broke down. If only we have accepted that tablet we would be under the cult protection and survived.]
[Cult?…. Nee Gettan, I’m an idiot so I don’t understand what you’re saying… You are joking right?]
[Is it a thing to joke about!? I cut her head off from behind! If only that woman doesn’t exist…..]
[Gettan, you’re lying ….right?]
Yukime took another step back further.
[There was nothing we could do to protect you and the village from war, it was the only option.]
[N..No… don’t come near me.!]
[Why are you rejecting me? Now, let’s start our revenge.]
Saying so Gettan handed Yukime the red pill.
[You should drink this too, to not be deprived we must deprive them first. Obtain this power, we will slaughter those who have taken away from us! If you don’t keep depriving, they will keep depriving from you.]
[No, don’t any closer !!]
Yukime finally turns back and runs away.
[Even you are rejecting me!!!]
An impact ran through Yukime’s back.
She fell face down, her back was cut by a naginata, her blood keeps spilling out.
[Don’t reject the power.]
[W, Why, Gettan…..]
[Don’t be afraid to take revenge. You must snatch it for yourself or it will get taken away from you.]
[N,No, Stop.]
[You still refuse!?]
Gettan swung his naginata down on Yukime’s back who is crawling away time and time again.
The wounds are not deep but Yukime’s back was mercilessly cut repeatedly.
Gettan steps on Yukime’s back who is struggling with pain and whisper into Yukime’s ear.
[Now, Yukime. take this, and let’s take our revenge together.]
[……Iya.]
That word of denial was the last of Yukime’s pained resistance.
Then she lost her consciousness.
When she opens her eyes again it was already dark.
Her back is still painful but the blood has stopped.
She can’t find the figure of Gettan, however, her clothes were somehow having a lot of Gettan’s blood on it. Which is not there before she loses consciousness. She can tell it wasn’t her blood from the smell.
Yukime stood up with a pained face, then she went back to her village to find her mother body.
The corpse of her mother whose head was cut off was found immediately.
The look on her mother was full of surprise.
The three fluffy tails she loved so much already burnt.
[Hahaue…!] (TLC: this is a way to call mother with respect, weebanese: Oka sama, well I don’t think there is おかあ様 but weebanese)
Her mother was killed.
Her friends and neighbors were killed.
Her village burnt down.
Their things were robbed.
And her beloved fiancée turned into an enemy.
[…u…u..Uu…]
With tears in her eyes, she burned the scenery of her beloved mother and her home town into her eyes.
She bit her lips.
To the girl who has everything taken away from her, the only thing she has left is her enemy.
However, it was difficult for a 14 years old girl with no money, power nor relative. She survived as a prostitute on the battlefield and went from one place to another.
Then, at the age of 17, she sold herself to a high-class brothel and raised to the top.
What she wants next after she obtained wealth was power.
The girl who once got her everything snatched away from her now vowed to take everything away from her enemy…
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
Yukime who finished her story has gentle eyes.
[I have only lived for revenge. John-han should already aware, right? I have no interest in the company nor the money. My objective is to snatch away everything from Gettan. His wealth, his power even his life…….. to take away everything that he has built up. To that end, I needed the power of the company and the power of John-han….. Please forgive me for deceiving you.]
[Fumu…..]
[Like this, there’s finally a chance to take my revenge. Now I have come to think about what to do after I completed my revenge. I might take my time and try to get along better with John-han later.]
Then, Yukime mischievously laughed.
[Well then, the time to settle thing with Gettan is soon. Please believe in me and wait.]
Yukime smiled and stands up.
[Good luck, I too will Take my leave soon.]
[Then, let’s walk together until the exit…….]
John Smith and Yukime left the room together.
