(Brendan POV)
It would not be an exaggeration for me to say that this was the best day of my life so far.
I got to camp out with Master with just the two of us and I was having the time of my life as Master was giving me His full attention right now.
There was nothing around except for the wind, the sky, and the campfire in front of us.
And yet…
"Hand over your valuables and we might even leave you in one piece!"
Why do these useless pieces of trash and absolute wastes of space have to come here and interrupt our time together?! Have they never died before?!
I turned to Master to see what He would do.
To my surprise, Master raised His hands in surrender and gestured for me to do the same.
"We're just travellers, gentlemen…" Master told them while trying to act as scared as possible. "We'll give you money… Just don't hurt us!"
Master… Even with the entire Universe in the palm of your hand, you still treat these scum of existence with mercy… They really are undeserving of such an honour.
It was also here that I realised that these robbers were most likely people who had managed to cross over from the other Planes and managed to avoid being found by any of our capture teams. Thus, they have less than no idea on who Master was.
There's absolutely no way someone from our own Plane wouldn't already know who our Master was, unless of course, they came from those two other Kingdoms we've yet to deal with but that was just a matter of time.
The leader of this gang of low lifes smirked and stretched out his palm towards Master, "Well, come on then! We ain't got all day you know?"
Master reached into His sleeve and pulled out a coin pouch before handing it over to him, trying His best to act as meek as possible.
The robber snatched it from Master's hands and opened it up to peer inside it.
He whistled, "Oh damn~ Pretty loaded for a couple of travellers aren't you?"
"Ple… Please… Those… Those are my life savings… Just leave us in peace…"
"Heh, alright. Get the fuck out of here. This place is ours."
Master blinked at him, "I'm… I'm sorry?"
"You heard me. You already set up a really nice camping spot so we're also taking that. Now fuck off."
Oh no you don't. This was meant to be a private time between myself and Master, you do not just chase us out like that.
Master seemed like He wanted to say something but I had already lobbed a potion bottle towards the feet of those robbers, shattering the glass and causing the gas inside it to spill out and engulf them within the cloud.
There were a few coughs and sputters before all of those pieces of trash collapsed onto the ground, all of them falling unconscious from the sleeping gas.
Master turned back and raised an eyebrow at me, "Since when did you make something like that?"
"I keep them for emergencies like this, Master."
He chuckled and patted my head, "Good job. And also a perfect way to deal with them too."
I enjoyed the feeling before looking at the unconscious group of trash on the ground, "What shall we do with them, Master?"
"Hmm… How long does your sleeping gas last for?" Master asked.
"They should only wake up tomorrow morning at the earliest."
"Then we can just tie them up and leave them outside for the guards to come take them tomorrow. No need to bother too much about them."
Master is really too kind to not even want to kill these pieces of trash. Not a problem, I can just deal with them later.
I obeyed Master and helped Him tie them up before Master moved them outside of the ruins with His power.
The rest of the night proceeded as perfectly as it had begun and I enjoyed every moment of it conversing with Master about anything and everything we could think about.
Master kept saying that it was our 'bro time' which I didn't really understand what it meant but I just knew that it was something that I really hope to experience again in the future.
When it was getting late, I waited for Master to sleep before I snuck outside the ruins to where those pieces of trash were.
They were still fast asleep from my sleeping gas so I summoned a ball of cold water and splashed at them to wake them up.
"Wha… What the… What happe--"
I slapped him with the back of my hand to shut him up, "I never gave you permission to speak, trash, so shut up."
He blinked a few times before recognising me, "You! You're the one who threw that--"
I slapped him again, "You seem to be hard of hearing. Let's fix that shall we?"
Materialising another bottle from my storage ring, I stuffed the opening into his mouth and dumped its contents down his throat.
There was a sizzling sound before his eyes went wide and the idiot started thrashing around in a panic.
Unfortunately for him, I managed to force the liquid down his throat completely before pulling back, nodding at the idiot with a satisfied smile.
There, now you can't make any more stupid sounds when your vocal chords have been melted away.
In fact… Let's just do it to everyone else too.
There… That's done. Don't even need to worry about them screaming after this either. Perfect.
Now let's see… What else do I have that I can use… Hmmm? Why are they making such pathetic looking faces at me? Are they expecting me to show them mercy or something?
You interrupted my time with Master and even made Master bow His head to you, do you still think you can exist after doing all that? Definitely not a chance.
That's why just stay there and be good while I decide on how I should deal with you.
Oh, I got it.
I have some flesh eating acid right over here, it'll even melt bone too so this is really, really good.
Alright, seeing how pathetic you look tugged my heartstrings a little. I'll just let you choose…
Your left little finger first… Or your right little finger first?
Come now, don't keep me waiting~ Otherwise I would just simply choose for you~
Oh, why are you crying?
It's too late for you to regret now, your life is already forfeit the moment you walked in tonight, that can't be changed. The only thing you can influence is how your suffering starts~
Now, don't make me repeat myself anymore… Which little finger should I start with first?
