'...'
In what seemed a blitz of a moment, I struck the Samurai down where they stood. Their fight was a hopeless one the moment I revealed my divinity before them. Even Immortals as they were, my weak blows massacred them one by one, until the last choose to go out on his own terms. And I had been pulling my punches as well. Or at least, that's what Majordomo calls it.
'...'
I lost my composure, I gasped as I looked down at their bodies, no longer sporting the confident and vengeful look I had.
[MAJORDOMO] "Hey! Good work, Munny. You made short work of those bastards! Hehe! Eh? H-Hey...? What's wrong...?"
My subconscious was quick to come out into my view and congratulate me. But I felt... no reward from this endeavor. I didn't feel proud at all.
'Majordomo...' I said to him, in thought and not aloud; '...I... I don't like what I just did...'
I couldn't help but remain fixated upon my hands. Clean as they were, my jade fur still shiny and spotless, I saw something red on them. Something that existed as metaphor. After all, this was my first time I had ever killed anything. All my life before this... I would not even swat insects, or disturb a blade of grass with my hooves. All my life, I'd only ever respected other lives. But this was the first time actually going the distance, since I'd sworn to Redeem this world. This was the first time I'd ever fought. Ever engaged in violence. Ever killed...
Is this what it means to be a Redeemer? Is this how I redeem the people in this world? However I see fit. Being a judge between life and death.
[MAJORDOMO] "Hey! Come on now... you're not a bad person, Muna. I know this is tough, but how else would you have handled it?"
'I feel like there's something else I could have done...'
[MAJORDOMO] "They didn't offer a choice."
Still, the feeling wrenches at my chest.
I look to my hands and speak my thoughts aloud. Of the blood I saw on them.
