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 24

Sawamura – Tokyo Branch Chief

How dare they.

Do they have any idea how much I’ve contributed to Tokyo—to Japan?

Since my youth, I’ve poured my heart and soul into dungeon exploration.

I’ve lost countless comrades along the way.

So what if I enjoyed a few women who were useless for exploration?

So what if I offered them as sacrifices?

Inside a dungeon, everything is personal responsibility.

I never forced them to enter.

They went in on their own.

If something unfortunate happened to them, how is that my fault?

If anything, they should take pride in the fact that they became part of my strength.

But to corner my son, force him to confess everything, and broadcast it to the world…

Unforgivable.

I have offered over a hundred women as sacrifices, strengthening myself in the process.

I am not like my son, who barely sacrificed a handful.

I’ve even killed demons to test my own power.

A pathetic, scheming little demon like this one—I’ll erase it with my own strength.

“Oh my, you actually came here yourself. I suppose that means you had quite a few inconvenient truths to hide?”

The demon sat in a black chair, watching me with amusement.

Next to her, a woman stood operating a recording device.

Was she a demon as well?

Their arrogance was sickening.

Holy sh1t… Tokyo’s branch chief…
Sawamura, what the hell are you doing?!
This has to be a lie! Tell me it’s a lie!
If he’s reacting like this… doesn’t that mean he’s admitting it’s true?
No way… Is Takehito really dead?

And yet, the broadcast continued.

“Rest assured—this is nothing more than a demon’s scheme. I will put an end to this nonsense myself.”

“Oh? You’ll put an end to me? But tell me, that strength and confidence of yours… isn’t it just as your son said? Power gained through sacrifices?”

Hmph. Trying to trap me with words?

She wants me to admit it outright, but I won’t fall for such petty tricks.

“This power is something I obtained through my own bl00d, sweat, and devotion. I was once an explorer myself. Even after becoming a guild official, I continued to train in dungeons. I earned this power. I will not allow you to mock it.”

Yeah, that’s right. No way it’s true.
This is all just the demon trying to create chaos.
But… every one of the names Ryuya mentioned is either dead or missing.
That’s exactly the trap. The demon manipulated Ryuya to make him say something believable.

“Hehehe… That’s an interesting way of putting it. What you really mean is: ‘I trained myself by raping women in dungeons, sacrificing them, and growing stronger,’ right? You’re practically surrounded by the spirits of those you killed—I can see them.”

“What…?! Guaah!!”

Suddenly, something wrapped around me.

My body became unbearably heavy—I couldn’t stand.

A demon’s attack?

No… It didn’t feel like magic.

What the hell is that…?
That black smoke…?
It’s creepy as hell—there are faces in it!
Is this some kind of demonic spell?

“Oh my, you’ve done so many things in this ‘Hidden Room’… Those poor souls… But wow, over a hundred women? That’s insane.”

Disgusting.

What is this?

What the hell…?

Wait… hold on…
Did he really assault and sacrifice over a hundred women?!
This is beyond fucked up.
How are you even joking about this?!
This guy’s a goddamn serial killer!!

“The anger, the grief, the terror of those you violated and slaughtered… I know it all too well.”

What is she talking about?

No… Stop.

It’s revolting.

I feel sick.

My vision is spinning—I can’t even stand.

Huh?!
What the hell does that mean?!

I can’t move.

My body feels like it’s chained down.

I can’t even twitch my fingers.

But—I refuse to be defeated by something like this!

“Well… technically, it wasn’t you who killed me—it was Ryuya. But it seems that those who are sacrificed here turn into demons.”

“Wha—?!”

What did she just say?!

No… That can’t be…

Wait… what…?
Huh…?
What does that mean?!
Are you telling me… one of the victims Ryuya mentioned… is this demon?!

“That’s exactly right. Now do you understand why I hate these men? They claim to suppress monster outbreaks and fight against demons, yet they themselves have been creating demons with their own hands. It’s almost laughable.”

This is too much information to process…
Wait… Akikawa Yuri-chan?
Or maybe Hazuki Saori-san?
Could it be… Muuha?!

“That’s right. I am Muuha. A former explorer, deceived, assaulted, and murdered in a dungeon.”

Ugeeeeehhhhhhh?!
No way…
Yeah, I’d want revenge too…
So everything connects now?

“And these bastards even targeted my sister, Yuzuha.”

Ah…
Hanashiro Yuzuha? The one who supposedly died in the dungeon recently?
So it wasn’t demons—it was Golden Hawk… Ryuya and the others…
That explains what they did to her…
You guys are being tricked by the demon! There’s no way Takehito would do something like that!

“Oh, I’m not telling you to believe me. I just want you to see these men for the scum they really are. After all, every member of Golden Hawk was offered up as a sacrifice, weren’t they?”

“Well, I did save Sasaki Kurando and Yumino Sayaka, at least…”

“Oh, that’s right. But everyone saw what Ryuya tried to do to them, didn’t they?”

So this stream… it’s all real…
Was everything really true?
This is the worst…

How dare they…

“Just believe that these men are scum”?

And now they claim humans are siding with demons?

I refuse—I refuse to acknowledge such filth!!

“So, what exactly was this old man after? He’s the Tokyo Branch Chief, sure, but he’s nowhere near the top of the organization. If what Ryuya said was true, he was using money from selling rare items for bribes. But… was it really just to climb the ranks?”

Tokyo, as a major metropolis, should be its own independent guild.

After all, it houses over ten dungeons.

Meanwhile, regions like Shikoku only have one dungeon per prefecture, yet places like Tokushima and Kagawa get to be branch offices?

Why should Tokyo be treated the same way?!

The Tokyo Branch deserves higher status—and with it, the proper authority it deserves.

With that authority, I could elevate Japan’s explorers.

I could use the secrets I uncovered about dungeon power to make Japan stronger.

Without it, the nation is doomed.

At any moment, a catastrophic monster outbreak could occur, and this country wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Japan is too soft.

It needs a system closer to conscription—a way to bolster its combat forces.

Even if it means sacrificing the weak, we must become stronger.

And I will not let these demons stand in my way!!

“Uwooooaaaaaaahhh!!!”

“Oh?”

I cannot fall here!

I am the only one who can change this pathetic nation!

The Branch Chief is back on his feet…
He just ripped apart those creepy spirits?!
I can’t even tell who the real demon is anymore…

“What spirits? What grudges? Such trivial things are nothing before my power! I will use my strength to save Japan!!”
