"Then, we will go ahead, Alexander- kun. "

"A-Alexander-senpai... p-please don't torture that man anymore"

"I understand, I understand, don't worry, I'm not someone sadist... or too sadistic"

"" ... ""

It didn't take long for the others to return with a new group of about 10 other boys. These seemed a bit battered, but it doesn't seem like they suffered too inhumane treatment either. At least his mental state at first glance was much better than other people I saw in the town of Revy.

...I think that, with a little time, those guys will recover perfectly. And the first step for that was for them to escape from this island. With that thought in mind, I urge the other boys to come forward to help them escape from here.

Besides, I had my own business to do and it was better they weren't present for that. Of course, it wasn't about something like Kenichi's worries. Although it could be said that I had a fight to the death with the man of the Kukiris, my resentment towards him was not much.

...almost any problem I had with him was solved by the two swords that I embedded in his legs before. I think we're even.

"Then… I must kill them?"

"...There's no need"

Once the others disappear into the darkness of the tunnels, Sai-kun points his sword at the throat of the unconscious guy next to me... his eyes barely showed a bit of emotion, so probably just by nodding would lower his weapon ending with his life.

…Seriously, I don't know why everyone thinks I like to kill people. I wonder if I have the face of a murderer? No… I don't think so, the last time I looked in the mirror, I was still very handsome and pleasant to look at.

By the way, when Miu-chan and the others rescued those boys, I finally asked Cockroach-kun's name while we were alone... maybe that was a little late since we have known each other for weeks and he is practically carrying out my orders. The good thing is he didn't seem to have a problem with that.

Although their nickname I did not mean it in an offensive or derogatory way, and although they are creatures that deserve respect since people say they have lived from very ancient times, it was a bit awkward to refer to Sai-kun as Cockroach- kun now.

...or being honest, it was just hard to call him that in front of other people. If others find out that I mean a person by the name of an insect, their impression of me may get worse... yes, even more!

"Well then let's get started..."

With only two of us here, I redirect my attention to the unconscious man, squatted fences on, and start using one of the new skills I acquired recently! [Plunder of the Soul]!!

It sounds like something quite scary and I even got a little concerned when I checked this one after my Soul ascended to the second level and discovered this ability which seemed to be like a reward from the system for that, or maybe just it was unlocked when I reached my current level!

Well, the thing is, it sounded like something worse than killing people!!

…I even thought that if people found out that I had this ability with a bad enough name, I would be hunted by others as the embodiment of evil!

The good thing is that after reading its description, it doesn't seem like this one did something like stealing souls or things like this. It wasn't a bad thing... or not as bad as what I first thought it would do.

“…Boss, are you okay? "

When I use the ability, my hands suddenly turn translucent… something quite impressive and so Sai-kun can't help but ask that question. But, even though it seemed like my body was fading, I didn't feel like something bad was happening to me.

Without answering Sai-kun's question, I direct my hands towards the chest of the man we were fighting before… then, instead of touching his body, my fingers start to pierce him!

[Fufufu … I never really thought that there would come a time when Alexander would become one with another man~]

"S-Something happened?"

"..."

Damn it, Aurora! Please don't joke right now!! What if I end up messing something up while doing this?!!

Hearing Aurora's words, as a chill runs down my spine, I quickly remove my hands from the guy's body! Those words were just too unpleasant for me to hear!!

…Besides, they inevitably conjured up unpleasant images in my mind!!

On the other hand, I must say that Sai-kun's strength of mind to witness unusual things was quite great... his surprise was due more to my sudden reaction to quickly withdraw my hands than the fact that my fingers had gone through this subject's body.

[Fufufu… sorry~ I couldn't resist. Please continue, I won't talk anymore~]

"..."

Refocusing, I start what I was doing again. On this occasion, my hands sink until I feel that I cross a small layer of resistance! And thanks to aurora's previous words, I could only think of this as something very unpleasant!!

Whaah~ I didn't want to do this anymore because of her! Please don't make any analogies or comparisons on this, my brain!!

" Guaaahhh !!"

The good news is that any thoughts that might arise in my head due to this are completely put aside by the great cry of this man!

"Hold him!"

"O-Okay..."

[… You should do it gently and kindly, Alexander~ You have broken the virginity of this man's soul after all]

D-Don't think about bad things, Alexander! Think of the moments with Kurisu, Saeko ,Kushinada , and Renka-chan!!

"A-Are you okay? You are turning pale..."

"..."

N-No! Why should I think about my love moments when I'm doing this? It's not like I need to justify myself for this!! I'm not doing anything wrong!!

[No… well… invading a person's soul I think is a pretty bad thing, don't you think so?]

I-I'll remember this, Aurora! When you get your body, then I'll make sure to give you a good punishment!!

[ Fufufu… then I'll look forward to it~]

"..."

" Guuaaaah !!!"

While arguing with Aurora, my hand seems to reach another space… this was obvious since even though I had reached my hand up to the elbow, it is not as if it came out from the back of this man! This was the only explanation for this.

Ignoring the screams of this person who was holding Sai-kun tightly to prevent him from moving, I direct my vision to where my hand had disappeared. I don't know if it's because of my new ability or my eyes, but I could see several orbs there!

So without thinking twice, I hold the orb more brilliant among others and I start to pull it!

" Nuuuaahhh !!!"

There was a resisting force, but slowly my hand began to come out of his body! Unfortunately, the more I pulled the orb, the more strong was the opposition from some force that resisted!!

Not had more choice but to get up a little and put my foot on the chest of the man from Yami to support me and leverage to make things easier for me!! Undoubtedly what was happening now was not a very good image... exerting force with my foot and my hand in the opposite direction for each of my limbs, the guy screamed worse than if someone were killing him while his body began to convulse.

"Damn it! Get out now!! "

"G-Gueeh..."

Finally, after one last pull, my hand comes out completely! And with this, the guy now peacefully collapses again...

"... he's making a pretty amazing face"

[I agree with this man... that's what they call an Ahegao face, right?]

"..."

…Well, not exactly peacefully. The guy had his eyes open and you could only see the white color in them... also, his saliva dripped from the edges of his mouth while his tongue was sticking out of it.

Although... I would not call his expression an Ahegao face... it was more like he had been tortured very cruelly... his face was completely pale and showed more an emotion of terror than of pleasure!

[Well, joking aside, that's obvious. This guy's soul should have been a bit damaged now from forcibly removing that orb from his soul… and of course, he must have felt enormous pain.

But... instead of physical pain, it was an agony that he felt directly in his soul.]

I-I really didn't mean to torture him or make him suffer worse things... I had no idea what would happen when using this ability!

Well… to be honest, I probably would have done it even if I knew it!! So this didn't matter much.

" Hahahaha!"

The reason was simple, in my hand, I still held the orb that I pulled out and when I analyzed it, I could read [Skill Orb (Innate): Kukiri Handling - Master] on a tag next to it! I couldn't help but get excited and happy when I see it!!

Yes, my new ability will allow me to steal other people's abilities! It had a couple of usage restrictions, but it really was worthy of the [SSS] rank!

Because it seems that this ability also uses my soul force, at this time I could only use it once a week or so. Also, that's why it couldn't be used easily as well... if I was interrupted while using it, my soul might end up being the one affected.

...I could probably only use it at a safe time, and that the person on whom I use it can make a resist. It would be great to be able to use it during a fight... stealing the powerful abilities of a powerful opponent to weaken him would be great, but it doesn't seem possible... or not for now.

"I wonder if this guy is okay?"

"...it seems like he's still breathing"

[Don't worry, in a few months his soul should fully recover. This one has not received a great deal of damage that its natural regeneration cannot treat. He will probably only feel discomfort for a while... besides, he will be more disoriented from having lost his Master level ability than anything else.]

...that's good, it would leave a bad taste in my mouth if he died after telling the others that I would not kill him. Also, does this mean that he lost all of his knowledge of his fighting ability?

[Practically, yes… there might be something like muscle memory in him, but it would be more like the feeling that he knows something but can't remember it. Although maybe if he goes back to practicing the same discipline again, then he can get to the level he was at on this one faster than the first time he did it. ]

…I see.

Either way, since I'm done with things here, then I should go back to the others and see that things don't get complicated there. Besides, surely with those screams, it shouldn't take long for someone to come here… so I shouldn't worry about the rats eating these two guys who are passed out.

"Let's go"

"Yes"

---------------------

---------------------

" Bye~! Please take good care of yourselves~!! "

"Now they can live freely... I'm very happy"

""Thanks""

In the end, Miu- chan, Kenichi, and I were on the dock saying goodbye to the guys we just rescued. The others had to do a bit of distraction to allow them to board a ship without worry. There didn't seem to be any other master or semi-master level guys, so they should be fine.

It was a happy ending... the two of them and those guys say goodbye with smiles on their faces. It is not bad to do this kind of thing from time to time.

"Thank you, Alexander-senpai... but I don't expect you to give your boat to them."

"U-Un, don't worry... "

“ Even though you sometimes do some things… a bit extreme, I knew you had a very good heart! Those ships cost a lot of money and you gave this one to them without thinking twice! I knew it, you are a great person, senpai!! "

“Y-Yes… as you say, it is only something material. It cannot be compared to the life and safety of people!

What's more…"

"What's more…"

"Well, it's easy to give something away when it didn't cost you anything, right?"

""E-Eh? W-What do you mean, Alexander- kun / Alexander- sanpai ?””

...even if at first I accepted Kenichi's words and Miu-chan's happy smile without thinking much, after the boy continued with that, I couldn't keep up with that lie! My heart was itching a little.

"Wh-whose ship is it, Alexander- senpai?"

“…From Tanimoto. Do not worry, surely is secured... well, what is a small yacht or two for that rich guy? Surely he would not mind this one"

"T-Then... why did you have the key to this one?"

"..."

…Kenichi's eyes looked at me like a thief, but I really didn't have that purpose in mind when I took borrowed the keys from that guy! I just wanted to try what it was like to have a romantic moment on the waves of the sea with Kushinada when I take them... really!

Unfortunately, with the presence of Miu-chan here, I could not say that and clear my name... I just could remain silent.

"Let's go back... I have a tough fight tomorrow."

"" ... ""

"H- Hey! I-Is my boat that one from there?! "

" Kenichi gave it to those guys..."

"E-Eh?"

"D-Damn Hamster, I will kill you!!"
