Death Guns In Another World-Chapter 95 - 93: I Do Not Regret It

Just after Alex left there was a flash and an old man dressed in Butler's clothes appeared, he stared in the direction Alex left to, before moving towards the men groaning on the ground.

He didn't even glance at them twice as he continued walking and finally stopped in front of Larry, crouching down he checked the latter condition. After few seconds the old butler couldn't help but sigh heavily.

''There is no hope anymore for the second young Master. From now on he will live as a retard. Sigh! Just a simple task yet you have been incapable of doing it. I must understand what happened here.''

Then the old butler stood and glanced at men on the ground, more specifically at the Fire mage, throwing a bottle of healing potion at the man who was now sitting after a long-struggling, the old butler said, ''Tell me exactly what happened here, Kuros' explanation was a little bit vague. I want all of the details.''

Nodding his head, the Fire mage drunk the healing potion directly before starting to recount what happened.

After hearing the whole history, the old butler couldn't help but praise Alex's wits.

''What interesting young man. It would have been heaven's blessing if the second young Master was like this young man, alas he isn't it. Well, young man you have brought what is about to happen upon yourself, the mistress will be furious after learning what happened to her child. She dotes on him too much. Sigh! this must have been the root of the problem. Guess, she would calm down after knowing the culprit of her son's condition has been taken care of.'' the old butler mumbled as he glanced in the direction of the Moonlight Inn before ordering the Fire mage to take care of the other injured men as he left with Larry.

.....

Meanwhile, in another district a lone figure could be seen walking toward a bar, this lone figure of course was none other than Alex, shortly he appeared in front of a bar.

From the outside, it looks cozy, homey, and pleasant. Plastered walls and carved pillars make up most of the building's outer structure.

It was hard to see through the closed windows, but the music and songs from within could be felt outside.

Sighing Alex entered the bar through the old, metal door, once inside he was welcomed by clapping hands and strong alcohol scents drifting through the air.

The bartender was buried in orders but still manages to welcome him with a short wave.

It was as lovely inside as it was on the outside. Tree logs support the upper floor and the chandeliers attached to them. The walls are loaded with hundreds of memorabilia, all signed and most likely donated by customers.

The bar itself was packed. Travelers and Adventurers seemed to be the primary clientele here.

Several long tables were occupied by separate groups who, after having had quite a few drinks, seem to be trying to prove which group was best. The other, smaller tables were also occupied by people who are probably starting to reach the point of having drunk too much, though nobody seems to mind. Even most of the stools at the bar are occupied, though nobody seems to mind more company.

Alex walked forward under the scrutiny of curious folks, he sat near the counter and lock eyes with the bartender.

''Your strongest drink please.''

''Right away.'' the bartender replied before getting himself busy.

Being a former mercenary before becoming bartender, the middle-aged had come to learn to read emotions on his clients' faces, and currently looking at the handsome young man, the bartender knew Alex had killed another human for the first time, it could be seen from the latter expression.

The bartender shook his head and served Alex's his drink. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

After being served Alex tries to drown the entire glass, however, he heard the bartender's warning, ''I won't do that if I were you. It's not called strongest drink for anything, drink it slowly to savor it.''

Nodding his head Alex took a sip of the drink, indeed the drink was strong, this drink reminds him of Pincer Shanghai Strength he had drunk once. This brought back some memories, he and some of his friends tried it because of some sort of competition. Pincer Shanghai Strength (88.88% Alcohol) is a vodka that can get you drunk in no time, so naturally, they got drunk in no time, afterward, they started doing unthinkable things, it was one of his darkest pasts.

Remembering those things brought a smile upon Alex's face, for a moment he forgot the gloomy feeling he was feeling.

〖It's good to see you smile. What happened today would have happened sooner or later. You will have to kill someday even though you don't want to. Or were you planning to never kill?〗Silveria asked him.

'It is unrealistic because I'll necessarily kill someday. I'm no Saint, I will kill you if you are planning to kill me. I will only kill when necessary, I do not regret killing that man, not one bit. It's just that I didn't know I will feel something after killing another human for the first time. I thought that after my first time killing a monster and continuous kills if I were to kill another human, I will not feel anything as I had killed before, guess I was wrong.' Alex explained.

〖It's understandable for you to think that way, however, you should know that monsters are different from humans, even humanoid monsters. Let's me put it more simple for you to understand, when you kill a chicken you'll think of it as natural even if you feel remorse, however, once you kill another human being, you'll feel awful, revulsed because human's psychology has been molded in a way normally you will not kill another human as you can normally kill animals. There is a defensive mechanic that prevents you from doing it, and once you kill another human for the first time, this mechanic broke and you change forever because something had been removed from you. Some individuals felt nothing after killing another human while some felt remorse after doing it by accident or by necessity. The former individuals didn't consider human life different from chicken, they will kill easily as if slaughtering a chicken, while the latter will value life more, only kill when necessary.〗

After hearing Silveria's lengthy explanation Alex understood, it does make sense what she said.

〖Why did you leave witnesses behind?〗Silviria inquired.

Sighing as he was expecting this question, Alex, hence he explained himself.

''Let say I could have killed everyone or turned them to retard. Then so what? Or did you think it will stop troubles coming in my way? No, I don't think so. Larry did some research on me, he will let someone behind knowing what he was going to do in the case trouble befall him, they will come to his rescue. Also, that person will have information on me, in case Larry died, the blame will be put on me. I let the others live because I saw no need to massacre them. I bet just after I left someone must have arrived to take care of Larry and his men. As what they going to do after seeing their young master turned into retard, it's not hard to guess, they will try to get revenge.''

〖So, you knew this, still-〗

Alex cut Silveria off and said, ''Let me finish first. I'm well aware of this fact, why I informed Leena about it. She will take care of the aftermath. I do not know her real background but I think it's stronger enough to scare a baronet house to not mess with me. I have a strong backer, it will be foolish not to make use of it. It will right if I don't abuse it.''

〖If you've thought that far there's nothing I can't say, just don't trust her blindly without knowing her real motivation.〗Silveria advised.

'Noted.'

Alex said before finishing his drink and asked for another one, shortly after being served, he heard a woman's voice coming from his left.

''Evening handsome. May I sit here with you?" the woman asked.

''Suit yourself.''

Smiling the woman sat down on his left, finally observing the woman Alex could say she was not bad, she could be considered a beauty by Earth's standard, everything could have been perfect if not for the heavy makeup and too provocative dress. She seemed to be in her late twenty, she had brown hair and light green eyes.

When Alex met eyes with the woman, she smiled seductively, ''What are you so worried about? Please share it, I'm a good listener.''

''Nothing. I'm just lost in thought.'' Alex responded with a smile before asking the bartender to serve the woman a drink.

The woman smiled seductively. She fixes him in a look that would make any character other than our hero shrivel. He meets her gaze with the smile of one who knows what she was up to. She folds one leg over the other, Alex could swear she did it on purpose, to let him caught a glimpse of what lay under that darkness. 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦

〖Slut.〗Silveria spat.

'Do not be rude, Sil, everybody has different ways of achieving their goal, do not label her just because of this.' Alex chided her.

Smiling Alex stood up startling the woman who was already planning her next action.

''Sorry, I'm not in the mood. Maybe another time. The drinks will be on me.'' Alex said.

The woman could only smile bitterly at tonight perfect prey escaping her clutches, she knew she was not a great beauty, still, she had never fallen so miserably on catching the prey she had set her eyes upon. Guess Goddess of luck was on absence leave tonight.

''Don't worry, I understand. I hope I'll see you again.'' the woman said with her perpetual seductive smile.

Not saying anything other than smiling mysteriously, Alex went to sit in another corner and ordered another drink but this time it was a middle one. He decided to make use of this rare occasion to drink to his heart content, something he hadn't done since setting foot here.
