Executioner’s Planning

I thought in my head how the woman in front of me would react to the words.

　But her reaction was different from anything I had expected.

　Vice-Principal Harman opens her mouth and supports the cigar that almost fell out.

“Get rid of the death penalty? That is to say that you will stand up to the current emperor who is a supporter of the death penalty, right? “

　I was told by a crazy person that I was crazy.

　I’m a little shocked.

“Bahaha!”

　Vice Principal Harman laughed with a belly laugh, a laugh that seemed to consume all noise in the junkyard

“It’s good! It’s really interesting! It’s hysterical!”

“Huh?”

“You’re quite the interesting kid. I can’t say I can fulfill that wish, but it’s 1%. If you keep everything as it is, your ideals won’t come true. Absolutely If you can enter, study, and graduate from our school, it will be 1%. “

“1%…”

“Now that witchcraft has permeated the world and is in full swing, politics and witchcraft have naturally gained a great deal of ties. It can be said that wielding witchcraft is the first step toward ridding the world of the death penalty.”

I frown at the dubious response.

　Vice-Principal Harman looks at my expression and seems to understand it.

‘’Do you know what a shrine magician is?”

“No, I’ve never heard of it.”

“A shrine magician is a magician who serves the emperor. He is a guard who reports directly to the emperor.”

“Emperor–!”

　An inevitable existence in killing the death penalty!

　If you become that soldier, you’ll have a chance to directly appeal to the emperor.

“At the time of graduation, students who have achieved top grades in their subject and have been recommended by the principal and three vice-principals can become cathedral magicians , and the power of cathedral magicians is higher than that of politicians. However, if you could become a “Basilica Magician”  I wonder if your dream will come true with a 10% chance. “

　”Basilica Magician”, you can see that the road to get there is quite steep. I have no knowledge of magic other than baptism, and I am far behind the other students from the start.

　”Kill the death penalty”, the fact that this dream is far away remains the same.

　Even if you enter the school, you may quickly fall out and waste your time. Even if you abandon your job and go to school, there is no doubt that you are almost certainly doomed.

“And there are a lot of influential aristocratic sergeants and ladies in the academy. If you have a good relationship with them, the probability will increase.”

　Influential aristocrat.

　Come to think of it, I met a girl like that right away.

“Himari-Lanfer. Is she also a powerful aristocrat?”

“Oh, do you know her? Yes, she’s the second daughter of the great aristocratic Landerfamily … no, is she the eldest daughter now?”

　It will be 1%.

　However, if you can graduate, 0% will become 1%. Furthermore, if you become a “shrine magician”, you will get 10% … If you build relationships with aristocratic children, you will get even higher.

　The hazy dream is getting more clearly visible.

“It’s not an easy path. Let’s just say that graduating from school is quite difficult, especiall yfor you.”

　It’s still a dream far away.

　However, unlike before, I can see the way to get there.

　What am I worrying about?

　Maybe I’m afraid, I’m bloody and I’m going to a clean and correct learning place–

“Slave!!!! I finally found you!!!”

　The familiar voice makes my spine tremble.

“SLAVE !”

　The master comes while making big footprints on the snowy road.

　As soon as he gets close to me, I pull away.

“I’m going to hang you you! You’re going straight to the execution table from now on. I’ll get you to work!”

“Well, wait! I’m still talking to this person!”

“I don’t remember allowing conversations with outsiders! Slaves are supposed to be slaves!”

　Looking at Vice-Principal Harman in search of a rescue,

　She stuck her hand in her pocket and decided to wait.

“Decide here”

　A cold eye views me.

“Determine here whether to go back to the execution table or destroy it.”

　Here……! ??

　Is it something that can be decided suddenly? It’s a life-changing decision.

　I don’t want to go back to the execution table.

　I can’t decide if the road to rid the world of the death penalty is right. It may take a lifetime and end without taking a step.

　It’s better to die and entrust your hope to reincarnation than to waste your time.

　Yes, dying is the easiest choice for me–

“Charles?”

　I heard  Henri’s voice.

“Charles. Are you OK?”

　When I make the face I think I’m making now she used to comfort me.

　Yes, I can’t forgive it.

　Without the death penalty, Henri would still be alive.

　No matter how steep the road

　I can’t forgive the death penalty.

　I step to my feet and resist.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”

“My Master, I’m an executioner.”

“RAH!”

“I have something to execute, much bigger than any living creature. don’t have to go back to. There’s nothing I should kill…! “

　I clench my fist.

　Suddenly, Vice-Principal Harman was laughing.

　Hmm.

“Goodbye.”

“What–!?”

　Vice-Principal Harman pushed out her fist with the force of breaking someones nose.　My Master, who was very, very big to me, flew away very easily. I didn’t think they were so light.

“Are you ready? I can’t go back anymore.”

“Are you ready? I can’t return this defective product anymore.”

“Ha ha ha! It’s fine.”

　Thus, I was bought by Vice-Principal Harman.

　I have no intention of quitting the executioner path.

　My last execution starts here.

“I will be a shrine magician and kill the death penalty.”

“Welcome, slashing scholarship student”

　As the words of Vice-Principal Harman echoed,

　The snow had stopped.
