At the End of Revenge, There You Are ~The Scum Who Killed My Beloved, Prepare Yourselves! I Will Drag You All to Hell... Wait, What? Why Are the Heroine and the Demoness Coming After Me, a Woman!?(GL) - Chapter 20

Yumeha

A world I once knew…

The sun’s warmth, the gentle breeze—so beautiful, so refreshing.

My appearance had changed, but this familiar scenery remained the same.

Today, I wasn’t dressed in my usual dark, alluring attire. Instead, I was walking through town in a chic outfit I had borrowed from Yuzuha.

I ignored the small, lingering frustration at how loose it felt around the chest.

I never thought I’d get to enjoy a peaceful walk like this again.

But still—

I hate them.

The ones who deceived me.

Who cut me apart.

Who violated me.

Who killed me.

“Hey! Over here!”

“Got it! Fireball!”

“Nice one, Yumeha! Your aim is as perfect as ever.”

Right now, I was in a dungeon, exploring with my party.

“Seriously. You managed to land that Fireball right in the weakest part of the Treant swarm.”

The one praising me was our leader, Mimura.

“They’re plants, so they flinched like crazy. Made my attacks way easier.”

Saito, who had just charged recklessly into battle, returned with a smug grin.

“Great job, everyone. I’m grateful to be part of such a well-balanced team.”

That was Sawamura, the newest member, casting an area-wide heal while offering words of encouragement.

“Let’s keep moving. More Treants will show up soon.”

Kurokawa Hazumi, ever calm and observant, kept an eye on our surroundings.

Hazumi and I were the only women in the party.

Mimura, Saito, and Sawamura were the men.

But there was never anything romantic between us.

I had just gotten married to Ryosuke, and everyone else had their own partners.

We were simply colleagues—professionals working together to reach the top.

That’s what I thought.

Until…

“So this is the ‘Hidden Room’?”

“Indeed. Impressive, isn’t it? It’s my first time visiting the one in Musashino Dungeon, but it seems to function just the same. As I mentioned before, this place isn’t recorded on the Guild’s surveillance footage. You can do whatever you want here.”

“Holy sh1t, that’s awesome!”

We had been resting in a lower-level safe zone when a dark light suddenly enveloped us.

Before we knew it, we were inside a featureless, sterile room.

The men stood there, chatting excitedly.

“So if we attack them here… no one will find out?”

…What?

What were they talking about?

“Not at all. Just the other day, we had our way with some stuck-up mage—seven of us took turns. It was amazing.”

“Wait… You mean Akikawa Yuri? The one whose body was found in Sapporo Dungeon…?”

“Damn it! She was totally my type! I wish I had joined in!”

Sawamura casually explained, while Mimura nodded in recognition, and Saito practically drooled in excitement.

Attack?

They were talking about us.

Was this their true nature all along?

The way their eyes roamed over me and Hazumi left no doubt.

There was no mistaking it.

They intended to violate us.

Just hours ago, we had been working together, talking about our dreams, planning for the future.

I thought we were friends.

But now?

I stepped in front of Hazumi and drew my sword.

“Yumeha, don’t resist. We’ll make sure you feel amazing.”

“Exactly. A gangbang with a married woman? It doesn’t get better than this. We’ll take good care of you~”

“I’m honored that you’ll be my first, Yumeha-san.”

Disgusting.

Their words.

Their existence.

Everything about them made me sick.

How could I ever have trusted them?

They were filth.

But I wouldn’t lose.

I would make them regret it.

I would fight back—

…

Huh?

Why am I… on the ground…?

“Come on, Yumeha. Stop struggling—it’s a waste of time.”

“Just lie back and enjoy it. We’ll make sure to put on a good show for Hazumi too.”

I couldn’t move.

I couldn’t fight.

I had been betrayed.

And the nightmare was just beginning.

Why… is she pointing her staff at me?

Was I…

Was I the only one being deceived?

Even Hazumi…?

We had been classmates since elementary school.

I thought we were friends.

“That dazed expression… it’s really turning me on.”

“Hah! Did you actually think Hazumi was going to protect you?”

“Oh, Yumeha… you didn’t know? Hazumi loves watching girls prettier than her get broken beyond repair.”

No.

No, no, no.

Stay away from me!

Don’t touch me with those disgusting hands!

Don’t—

Somebody… help me…!

Kou-kun…!

But my cries never reached anyone.

My limp body—powerless—was stripped bare.

Damn it… stop!

With the last remnants of strength returning to my arms, I grasped my sword and swung.

But—

“We told you not to resist. You brought this upon yourself.”

Ah…

“Now then, let’s enjoy ourselves.”

“…!!”

I had to run.

I had to fight.

But they pinned me down.

I couldn’t move.

“She’s incredible.”

“Let me have a turn.”

“Still resisting, huh…?”

They captured me.

What followed was an endless hell—

A ceaseless violation of my dignity.

Time lost all meaning.

Eventually, my consciousness faded, and then—

When I came to, I was in that room again.

And in front of me, lying motionless—

Was Yuzuha.

For a moment, horror seized me.

Had she suffered the same fate?

But no.

Not yet.

Her fate had been postponed—

By my arrival.

But what now?

I had awakened to a mysterious, immense power.

Yet if I let her go now, they would just come for her again.

If I had slaughtered them all, maybe things would have been different.

But they escaped.

And now—

I didn’t know what to do.

As I gazed at Yuzuha, an idea formed.

It was her.

The one in her thoughts.

The person who would cherish her.

Someone strong.

A presence that felt strangely familiar—

Perhaps they could save her.

But I had to draw them in.

I’m sorry, Yuzuha.

I have to make you suffer. Just once.

But I promise. I swear—

I will save you.

Tears streamed down my face as I dealt the final blow.

I will have my revenge.

No—wait. No, no.

I need to focus.

I should be arriving soon.

I can’t afford to be in a dark mood today.

I’m going to their house, after all.

This is the future I fought for.

And I will live it.

I will protect them.

And I will have my revenge.
