Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

"Where…did you get that gun?" The girl asked with a trembling voice. she thought that she already lured Acht into the trap with her flawless acting. But, such a situation was beyond her predictions, and the fact that he was armed made it even more complicated.

"Oh, this? It's just a small gift I took from one of your guards. They're quite nice, to be honest." Acht answered casually.

He then started approaching the girl alarming her subordinates who held their weapons tightly, ready to shoot at any given moment.

"Wait! Don't shoot! Don't you see that he could shoot me too!" The girl shouted with fury.

"B-But…young mis-"

"I said put down your weapons!"

The guards couldn't retort to their leader's response so they put down the guns and looked at the dangerous young man with clear nervousness in their eyes.

"Why did you want to catch me? Know that any lies will create a hole in your head." He said apathetically. He didn't mind the fact that she was a girl or that she was a child, he would kill anyone who dares to backstab him. If there is anything Acht hates to the bone, it's people who betray others.

"I-I…wanted to make you work for me." The girl finally spoke after some silence.

"Explain."

"W-What I mean is…I will threaten you and then make you work for me."

"So you basically want to make me do your dirty work with oppression?"

"Yes." Her head was lowered and her hands were trembling. It was as if she was getting scolded by her parents.

"You did this with other kids in the slums, right?"

With her head lowered, she nodded slightly.

'She's rotten to the core. Not that I have a say in whether a person is bad or not.' He thought as he sighed inwardly.

"And what do you make these kids do exactly?"

"I-I only make them do simple tas-"

*Bam*

The loud sound of a gun echoed in the room as a bullet shot toward the girl, barely missing her head by a few centimeters before settling inside the wall.

"Next time I won't miss."

"Hiiiih!!!!!!" The girl finally couldn't hold herself so she fell to the ground with tears in her small eyes.

When she landed roughly on the ground, a small object also fell out of her body. It was a small circular thing made out of some kind of black material. The object had some weird scribbles on it that resembled ancient ruins.

Acht thought it was some kind of magical artifact and didn't think much about it. However, something totally unexpected happened.

The girl in front of him started to go blurry. Acht was taken aback as he blinked twice, but the girl's silhouette did become indeed blurry for a moment.

Then, after a few seconds, the same thing happened again. It was like looking at a broken tv trying to reboot.

'What is going on?' Acht thought with a small frown.

On the third time, the girl's body didn't blur. It disappeared completely.

What appeared in her place was a fat man. He was the ultimate contrast to that girl. With his huge body and his belly that is threatening to burst at any moment and his ugly features, he could make anyone retreat in disgust.

"Wha-" Even Acht, who was a master when it comes to controlling his emotions, couldn't hide his deep shock.

"P-Please don't kil-....huh?" The man who was about to start begging felt something wrong. He then looked down at himself and then…

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" He screamed at the top of his lungs before cowering back until he hit the table with his back.

"NOOOO!!! DON'T LOOK!!!!" His deep and ugly voice shouted like a pig getting slaughtered.

In all of his life, this was the weirdest thing Acht has ever seen. It was the first time he didn't know how to react or handle the situation. That's how unexpected this occurrence was.

The guards weren't shocked by this revelation since they knew about their boss's real appearance. However, they did not want to look at their boss directly.

"You…are a man?" Acht muttered. All of the things started clicking together and finally, his eyes lightened up.

"You sick fuck." Acht cursed with clear anger in his voice. He was enraged at this man for some reason.

"Luring in children with the appearance of a small girl and making them entertain your stupid fantasies. I saw disgusting people in my life, people who deserve the shittiest of deaths. But you, you are one of the most screwed-up people I had the displeasure of meeting!"

Acht was surprised by himself. He didn't know why, but he couldn't control his anger for some reason. He felt like making that man go through the worst death possible.

"Wait! No, I didn't do that! Please believe me!" The man begged as he crawled toward Acht.

"Tell your subordinates to get the fuck out. We have some things to settle." The boy then stepped on his hand roughly making him cry in pain.

"Now!"

"Yes! Yes! As you heard him, get out now!"

The men couldn't do anything. They just looked at each other searching for a solution to this chaotic situation in each other's eyes. They only saw confusion and distress.

Then, they quietly backed away and closed the door.

"Now. How should I deal with you? I could skin you alive, but I don't think even that will ease my anger." Acht said as he sat down on a chair looking down at the fat man.

"Don't kill me, please! I will give you anything you want!"

"Get me all the money you have. Don't you dare to even leave a single coin." He ordered in a cold tone. Taking all of his money was akin to a good deed when it comes to people like this man.

"Here, take it." The man threw a ring to Acht.

'A dimensional ring, huh?' He grabbed the ring and inspected it. It was made out of gold with no particular differences from any ordinary ring.

"How do you use it?" He asked.

'I still remember that it needed some kind of energy to use it…Let's see…It was 'soul force' I think.'

"Channel some soul force into it and you could get any amount of coins you want." The man answered.

Acht was still oblivious to how the power system worked in this world since he can't remember everything about that book. He could only wait until he found a way to use soul force.

"Do you have a library in this house?"

At this point, the fat man, who was scared for his life, calmed considerably as he saw that Acht didn't seem to be that angry anymore.

"Yes, it's on the other side of the house. I take pride in my love for reading."

"You also take pride in abusing small kids?" Acht raised the question with a glare.

The man was rendered speechless. He did indeed have questionable preferences that would make anyone spit on him and look at him as if he was a trash can but he never saw it as a beautiful thing that he took pride in. He liked doing that but that didn't necessarily mean he found himself sinless.

He was just a person who couldn't suppress his urges and only kept on doing things even when he knew they were wrong.

"Sigh, there is no point in talking about this now. I'm done with you."

"Hahaha! Thank you si-"

*Bam*

A bullet was shot out of the gun straight toward the man. The bullet hit his forehead creating a hole in his skull before exiting from the other side. Blood gushed out of his broken skull as he fell down on the ground motionless.

"Don't thank me for anything, garbage," Acht muttered to himself.

'Why did I lose control of my emotions like that? This is new for me.' He thought with a complicated gaze. Acht knew that he was not some hero of justice who would feel pity for some children just because they were suffering. There were many other people who were suffering an even worse situation than these kids and his help will never stop evil deeds.

"There is no point in thinking much about it. Now…how should I deal with the other pieces of garbage?"

He then stood up and left the room with calm steps.
