Reincarnation Sim Game

Elise and Lynn came out of the bushes, making the two people dragging Megan gasp.

“Relax, Vin, Diana,” Lynn spoke while raising her hands. “We’re on your side. You two have Megan tied up. That means you’re not her ally, right?”

Those two people looked at each other.

“Lynn is trustworthy, Vin.” The light brown-haired woman explained. “It’s been four years I’ve been a member of the town patrol squad with her. She is one of the best.”

“I see.” The man with the thin beard nodded. “I trust you. It was you who said that something was wrong with this traitor.”

Megan growled at being gagged, and Diana slapped her. “Shut up, old lady!”

“Follow us.” Lynn nodded her head in the direction of her hiding place.

Once there, Vin threw Megan to the ground so violently, right in front of Rupert.

“You were seriously injured because of her, Rupert. Even if it was indirectly.” Lynn crossed her arms over her chest, looking coldly at the former leader. “Do you want to beat her?”_.

“I want to take a rest.” Rupert leaned his back against one of the trees. “Go ahead if you want.”

Lynn looked at her two other campmates. They both just signaled for the big braided woman to do what she wanted.

“Okay, then.” Lynn crouched down and opened the gag in Megan’s mouth.

“I made a mistake! I’m really sorry!” Megan shouted with teary eyes. “Zak and Greyson asked me…”

A fist from Lynn cut off the former leader’s words. “You made the struggles and sacrifices of our comrades in vain! You failed us!”

Megan tried to retort, but Lynn sat on her stomach and started beating her.

“Don’t do anything.” Raymund gave a warning. “Let her vent. If you stop her, there will be unnecessary fights. And by letting her, your position as their ally becomes even stronger.”

Yua massaged the nape of her neck, feeling uncomfortable with what was in front of her. Elise also made a similar gesture but continued to stare at the scene while Yua sometimes looked away.

On the other hand, Kimi chose to stay away. She sat leaning against a tree, not watching the brutality at all.

Blood continued to splatter, and Lynn’s breathing grew heavier. After some time, she stopped her beating.

Megan’s face was almost out of shape. Her face was swollen and bruised, her nose was bent the wrong way, some of her teeth were missing, and her lips dripped with blood.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill her.” Lynn looked at her hand, which was also bruised, covered in blood, and shaking.

Megan said something, but it was so low and indistinct.

“I think we should still kill her.” Elise came to Lynn. This time the female warrior also wore a stern, cold face. “It’s to prevent her from doing something evil again.”

Surprised by Elise’s words, Lynn was silent for a while. “No, that’s not necessary.”

“If you can’t, I will do it in your place.” Elise was about to draw her sword, but Lynn hastily got up and held the female warrior’s hand.

“No, Elise.” Lynn used a more assertive tone. “She will be fortunate if she dies. I want her to stay alive to pay for this huge betrayal. Plus, maybe we can get some more information out of her.”

“I’m sorry….” Finally, Megan was able to speak. Her tears also started to flow.

Elise narrowed her eyes, then lowered her hand. “Fair enough.”

“Don’t be afraid,” Raymund spoke when he found that Yua and Kimi’s bodies were shaking from what had just happened. “She is still Elise. She is not affected by the darkness of her sword.”

Megan turned her head as Diana shoved a piece of jerky into her mouth. Since her body was tied to a tree, the former leader couldn’t do that herself.

“You don’t want to eat?” Diana put the jerky in her mouth, then licked her fingers. “Okay, then.”

“You really don’t know anything else about that dress-worshiping society?” Yua sighed. She had interrogated Megan for hours but to no avail.

“Maybe this time I should pluck your toenails?” Lynn touched Megan’s hand. The former leader’s fingers were already bleeding.

“Please, no…” Megan moaned with tears in her eyes. “I’m tired of being here, naked for months, constantly fighting for nothing. That’s really my motivation to join them.”

“And you are also tempted by the treasure from them?” Rupert looked glumly at the woman. “How can you trust them?”

“They’ve already given some of those treasures to Greyson and me as a down payment…” Megan gasped and widened her eyes. “Hey, let me go, and I’ll tell you where the treasure is hidden!”

“No chance.” Lynn got up from the spot, walking towards the bonfire.

“Listen to me.” Yua gulped, feeling sorry for Megan’s terrible condition. “I disagree with the torture, but I can’t stop them from doing it. So please give us new information. Even a little bit is okay…”

Megan’s eyes filled with tears. “I’ve already shared what I know with you….”

“Maybe you should stop.” Lynn is sitting down and looking at the fire. “Looks like she doesn’t really know anything anymore…”

“Then, what should we do now?” Vin joined in.

Rupert looked up at the overcast sky without stars. “Maybe we should give up.”

“I don’t want this to end.” Diana’s voice was hoarse. “I want my town back. I want to live a normal life there again.”

“If we surrender, who will continue this crusade?” Vin added. “And don’t forget, you want to save your little brother. Right, Rupert?”

The orange-haired man didn’t answer, still staring at the sky.

“Yua, Elise, Kimi…. The three of you said that you had a plan, right?” Lynn closed her eyes. “Can the plan still be executed with this small number of people?”

“That plan is related to the illusion skill that Yua has.” Kimi, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. “But, if she did that on a massive scale, she would be in a dangerous state.”

“Then, you have to ensure I don’t go beyond my limits, Kimi.” Yua stood while flashing a smile to the others. “We are really stuck, after all. Maybe this is the only solution we have.”

The kunoichi looked up, waiting for her master’s answer.
