The Villain's Story Chapter [326] To Be Kind, To...Change.

Chapter [326] To Be Kind, To...Change.

[Hiroto Mitsuki PoV]

I was a b.a.s.t.a.r.d, a piece of s.h.i.+t, an irredeemable piece of trash, rude, and someone unfit to be called a Human.

No matter what, I was unfit to be called a human, regardless of the circ.u.mstances. I robbed people less fortunate than me and even those higher up…all to fill my own stomach.

I committed deeds…I am not proud of it.

My thoughts wandered as I roamed through the abandoned city, scenes of my childhood replayed in my mind…like an endless film.

"It was just like this…"

Wasn't it? My home.

A ruined city in j.a.pan, A City filled with war and gangs and monsters. A hopeless area that had no chance of being saved. It was filled with sc.u.m, and I was one of those Sc.u.m.

A sc.u.m…How can that word be defined?

Someone who is bad? A Piece of s.h.i.+t?.. I should ask Oliver later.

I sat down on a rock and pondered.

"What use is there in being kind?"

"Piece of s.h.i.+t! This world eats those f.u.c.kers!"

"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I swear I'll kill you!"

Memories, Memories of scenes he was not proud of always haunted him.

But whenever they came…A hidden thought, a way of fighting back against the accusations of the voices in his head.

[I had to do it to survive.]

[I was hungry, I was starving…]

[I was a child.]

Those were his reb.u.t.tals…No, it was more fit to call them excuses.

"Why did you choose me?"

He asked the Spear, His dear spear, the Ame-No-Sakahoko.

It did not respond. It was tired of responding to this question.

"Come on…Comfort me a little, As you've always done…please."

It seemed as if he was begging the spear. To help him, Like it always did.

[Because you were worthy.]

Its voice rang out.

It always responded like this. Hiroto…always tried to find some justification for his actions, like a coward. He never heard it speak more.

He opened the status of the Ame No Sakahoko.

[Ame-No-Sakahoko]

Type: Hoko(Spear).

Rank: SS

Description

Ame No Sakahoko, the Upturned Sky spear, was a Hoko used by the twin j.a.panese G.o.ds Izanagi and Izanami to calm the chaos and create the land. It was later given to the G.o.d

Ninigi-No-Mikoto, who was sent to the land to become its ruler.

Ninigi-No-Mikoto, later stuck it on Mount Takachiho, hiding it so that no one could use its powers for their own purposes.

It is a spear that is worthy of great respect.

The Spear that overturned even the Chaos of the Land, but is now being consumed by the very same chaos.

Current Mastery:43%]

Marvelous…He thought every time he gazed upon the status description.

"I am worthy…huh."

He wanted to laugh at that. He wanted to laugh so much at it…How can he be worthy? If it wouldn't even talk to him…

"I am a f.u.c.king idiot."

He cursed at himself.

Why did he always come here? To this war within himself? Every single day.

He looked at the moon, the clouds, and the Stars, painting a beautiful masterpiece in the sky, each placed perfectly.

He jumped high up after he imbued mana into his legs, and went on the roof of an abandoned building.

There…he just stared at the sky.

The beautiful sky, filled with the stars, the dark clouds…and The Moon.

He placed the Ame-No-Sakahoko on his back and sat down, viewing the destroyed city.

Funnily enough…even this destruction had some beauty to it. A flawed beauty. The scenes of destruction caused by the demons had…He didn't know.

He didn't know what they had…that made them so beautiful. This world was beautiful regardless of what state it was in…He thought.

'...Maybe it is because of my Demon blood?'

He joked in his mind…He knew it wasn't

"There is no use in being kind huh…"

He muttered, his thoughts going wild within his head.

"Why?"

He questioned. To himself or to the world, who knows?

"Haha…"

He smiled, and that smile of his turned into boisterous laughter soon enough.

"Yeah…It's beautiful."

Unbeknownst to him, The Ame-No-Sakahoko vibrated a little. It was such a little vibration that Hiroto did not feel it. It seemed as if the spear agreed.

The world was beautiful.

Hiroto didn't know that the reason Ame-No-Sakahoko didn't talk to him was that He doubted himself.

He doubted himself. Every day, every moment. He considered himself to be stuck being a villain because of his past deeds, even though they weren't his fault. He talked like someone who wasn't worthy of it…when he was. He failed to use his complete power because of fear and doubt.

The Ame-no-Sakahoko, also known as the spear of righteousness chose him because he had hope, he had a small flame of righteousness, of kindness just waiting to be awakened. A flame that wouldn't extinguish.

How much time had pa.s.sed? Hiroto didn't know. He was just stuck gazing at the sky, as it brightened. The Darkness changed into light, and the stars changed into the blue sky.

The moon changed into the Sun, And the golden rays of the sun soon came to bathe him. Hiroto enjoyed their embrace.

"Golden time? Golden hour?'

What was it called? When the position of the sun was just right? To make everything glitter like gold?

He should ask Oliver about it.

"Okay!"

He jumped down from the building happily and saw the corpses of dead humans, some rotting away or some already having become bones.

"Hey…don't mind please."

He said, as he grabbed the Ame-No-Sakahoko and took a peculiar stance.

"...sorry."

He apologized to the spear, before using it as a shovel to dig graves. The SS ranked spear, the one that split the heavens itself in myths, the Upturned sky spear, the Heavenly spear…was…was…

Using a shovel. Was there any greater disrespect?

"I'm sorry, I just don't feel right leaving them without a proper place of rest."

Hiroto apologized to the spear once again…He just wouldn't feel right if he left these corpses to rot. He wanted to give them a proper burial at the very least.

Were his words hypocritical? When he had left people to rot before? Was what he was doing…worth it?

Hiroto didn't know. Maybe his efforts to change were useless.

Maybe…But he still did it.

********

Arken and Oliver watched from a high building. They saw Hiroto carefully carry the corpses and bury them.

"Idiot."

Arken said as he watched Hiroto do 'stupid s.h.i.+t'.

"Is he thinking? Burying the dead is quite honorable."

Praised Oliver.

"It's useless, we should be resting."

Arken argued back. He found the act to be useless.

"Maybe…"

Oliver gazed at Hiroto from far away.

"He always does useless s.h.i.+t like this."

"Hey Arkie, do you know of Hiroto's past?

Suddenly, Oliver asked a curious question.

"His spear is extremely unique, I did research on it, and It's the Ame No Sakahoko, a legendary spear, also known as the Spear Of righteousness. It was famous for not choosing anyone…But Hiroto has it."

"I don't know."

Arken answered, he just thought it was a good item.

"Hmm…it is you we are talking about, can't be helped."

"Was that an insult?"

"Maybe."

Oliver laughed and then cast a spell to float over to Hiroto.

"You coming?"

"What?"

Arken asked, confused.

"To help him of course, knowing him he is probably gonna spend days doing it."

When Arken thought about it…it made sense. Hiroto would do that.

"Yeah…we should help."

He agreed, and they both went over to help Hiroto.
