I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Scumbag, Prickly Best Friend Who Collects Hate in a Gal Game. And the Main Character Is Too Incompetent To Be Useful… - Volume 1
The End of My Uncle and Aunt
“As I thought, just looking at you is already so damn irritating.”
I kick, kick, and kick my helpless uncle.
This has become my daily routine for a while now.
And such a sudden reversal of positions has terrified my aunt.
“H, Hideyori……your father is going to die at this rate.”
“Shut up you old hag! Just stay quiet like you used to when this scum beat me!”
“HII!”
The day my Gift manifested.
Mine and my uncle’s positions were reversed.
By the time I got to my sixth year of elementary school, my body got bigger and I was already taller than my aunt, making me the biggest man in the house.
“I’m, I’m sorry Hideyori.”
“Just stay down you bastard!”
“Cough…..”
Targeting his solar plexus, I kicked my uncle again.
Kicking and beating up this man who can not put up any resistance whatsoever against my violence is just a daily routine for me.
“[Emi, bring me a water bucket].”
“Okay.”
With not an ounce of defiance, Emi heads straight to the kitchen.
“Oba-san, if you don’t want to end up like this then you better shut your trap too.”
“B, But……you’ve already grown up so much Hideyori, playing around like this is…….”
“This is getting annoying…….”
A moment later, Emi brought back a bucket of water just as I ordered.
“You did take care of me but you’ve been a pain in my ass lately you know. [Emi, do it].”
“Un!”
With that, Emi dumped all the content of the bucket on my aunt’s face.
My aunt who’s now soaking wet then stared at me speechless.
“How was it? Emi-chan, how did that feel?”
“It’s fun!”
“Right! I guess this is the thing called making an example huh. Well, if you won’t get in my way again then I will let you off with just this. Never interfere with what I do again.”
I looked down at my aunt with a grin.
This was the first time I had directly harmed my aunt.
“Man, this is great. You are making a cute face too, Emi.”
“If it’s for Hideyori-kun then I will do anything.”
Saying so, Emi hugged me.
It would be great if she’s a little more beautiful though……..such was my thought when I gazed at her face with not a sliver of fondness.
On that point, Takeru’s little sister is the best huh.
I wonder how I should make her become my thing.
“Hideyori! You!!”
“Ahh, man….., and after I went out of my way to warn you not to interfere too……..”
My aunt is looking at me with hostility.
That attitude made my merciful heart snap.
“I have never told you about this before but I have a Gift you see.”
“Ha?……A Gift……? Really…….?”
“Right, you actually know for a while, don’t you? [Oba-san, kick him].”
“……!?”
My aunt started kicking my uncle’s leg.
Her expression looked like she couldn’t believe what she was doing.
“My Gift is [Dominating Decree]. I can force anyone to do anything with a single command. Emi here is just pretending to be my girlfriend. See, I’ve been twisting this woman ever since the first time I met her. If I remove my Gift, she would see me as a complete stranger you know.”
Before I started elementary school, the day after my Gift manifested.
I ordered this woman who happened to visit the nearby playground to [Be my Slave].
Also, the name [Dominating Decree] was what I arbitrarily made up myself.
“[Emi, take off your skirt].”
Without a word, Emi begins to take off her skirt.
It seems like the fact that I do possess a Gift finally became real to my aunt.
“Hmm, well, earlier you butted in on my business again right? You broke the rule yourself you know. [Uncle, leave the house and go jump off a bridge].”
“…….”
Uncle silently stands up.
My aunt who sensed the danger immediately tried to stop him but his movement was too fast and she failed to catch him.
“D, Dear……please stop.”
Without my order, he will not stop.
His legs probably won’t stop moving until his head smashes into the asphalt.
“Y, you demon…….I should have never taken you in!”
“You think I wanted to be taken in by a messed up family like yours? Ah, my Gift did manifest after I got taken in by you after all. I guess I should be a little grateful huh.”
My aunt fearfully looked at me.
The look on her face was so amusing that I can’t help but laugh at it.
“Hahaha! Hey, Emi? What should we do about Oba-san now?”
“Ehh? You can do whatever you want Hideyori-kun. Still, I think Oba-san would be a little pitiful if she’s left all alone you know.”
“Right. You are absolutely right, Emi-chan. [Well, kindly f**k off and die together with Uncle please].”
“Y, You…….!”
Her angriness disappeared and my aunt’s legs began carrying her out of the house.
“No, I don’t want to die…….stop it Hideyori…..”
“[Ah, Emi-chan, make dinner for me].”
“Un, Got it.”
Just like that my aunt disappeared from my sight.
The house usually felt so small but somehow it feels like it suddenly got bigger after those two idiots disappeared.
—–after that, the bodies of the couple who adopted me were found.
The police ruled it a double suicide.
The Akechi house lost its adults and the relatives of Uncle were assigned the custody of their adopted child.
However, for some reason, said relatives do not take the child to live with them but instead leave him alone at his old house.
This event as well was the beginning of another tragedy……..
“………..!?”
That was an unpleasant dream.
The game didn’t go into details about it but, was that Hideyori’s past?”
The image of how I involved Emi in the murder of my uncle and aunt burned into my brain.
“No, I would never do that…..! Never…….”
I start fearing that vivid dream as it might actually be my own future.
“Hey, I’m back! I think I might be able to land that job soon.”
Said Uncle as he returned home.
I know that he will never act violently against me ever again but I’m still feeling murderous whenever I see him.
However, if I go down that path then I would be no different than that scum Hideyori.
I will refrain from acting the same way as I did in the dream.
“Ara Ara, that’s good news isn’t it.”
“………”
Uncle’s will was bent by my Gift.
However, thanks to that, peace finally came to the daily life of the Akechi household.
In a twisted way, we might finally be able to call ourselves a family.
That being said, it was the only way.
In Hideyori’s first meeting with Emi, he originally made her his slave.
It would be great if the future scenario of [Breaking the Chain of Sadness] can be changed with this……
The awakening of my Gift.
[Dominating Decree], the worst kind of ability that allows its user to twist the will of others.
I still can not rest easy but maybe the results will come out all right in the end…….
TLN: That’s the end of vol.1/the first arc. let’s finish up with the character introduction.
