CHAPTER 247: HEAVENLY GIFT

When I regained my consciousness, the first thing I saw was an impeccable face that cannot be compared to anything else in the world. I immediately knew who it was, because it was this same person that saved me from death once before.

“Why am I with you? This can’t be true? How can I die again? I am way too young to go. Can I go back? Last time I…”

“You’re not dead, this is your room in Tiremia and everyone else is here. Besides, how can I let my cute little Nao-chan die? I specifically came down here to save you. Aren’t I great? Tell me how great I am and how impressed you are with me.”

It was only then that I became aware of my surroundings. I immediately wanted to burrow myself and hide from embarrassment at how I lost my composure earlier. I also realized that I was being held in his arms, but when I wanted to struggle free, I couldn’t come up with any strength to move at all.

“Thanatos-sama, please put me down.”

“No, you’re still not healed completely and I don’t have many chances to hold you like this. Besides, you are just too cute and I can’t help myself. Stinky brat, why aren’t you as cute as Nao-chan.”

“Old man, I am not supposed to be cute.”

It was only then that I realized the Archduke was here as well. Now that I think about it, isn’t this a type of family reunion? But when did the two of them arrive? And more importantly, what was that thing earlier that trapped me?”

“Nao-chan, don’t be scared. That thing earlier is a manifestation of hatred from a long time ago. It is unfortunate that you came across it. If a normal person took it, their heart would start to gain anger and in return they would become stronger, but over time that hatred would consume them and they would not have a good end. However, since you bear the aura of death coming from me, that hatred attacked you directly since it bears a grudge with me.”

I stared blankly at him. Hah, what a good King of Vilikis. You say it is to help me gain power, but in the end you are cursing me to death. See if I can make you faint in anger. Once I am done with you, you will regret ever daring to cross me. Sadly, you will not know what hit you and you can only curse the gods for being ruthless to you.

“Thank you for saving me. What happened to that item now?”

“I destroyed it, but don’t be sad. I brought you something in return. This is not the strongest weapon out there, but do practice with it. Once you get to LV10 with the skill alongside your other weapon skill, I suggest you use up your last skill evolution point. You won’t regret it.”

He took out a silver bracelet and put it on my wrist. I had no idea what kind of weapon it was, but when I inspected it I almost choked on spit. This is by no means a normal item, and he talked so casually about it. As I read the description my face became more and more read with embarrassment.

[God’s Punishment] Rank: Legendary Owner: Maeda Naoko

A whip forged in fires of the earth by a god for his beloved daughter to fend off all those that wrong her. Because of forger’s usually impure thoughts the weapon has two modes; attack and pleasure. The owner can freely switch between the two.

*SKILL – This is your Punishment – Attack: every strike causes damage to the opponent’s soul making them experience unbearable pain. / Pleasure: the hit person feels a wave of euphoria with every strike.

*SKILL – You cannot escape – Attack: the whip coils around the opponent and drains them of their life force making them incapable of retaliating. / Pleasure: the bound person becomes extremely sensitive and can only have submissive thoughts towards the owner.

“You lecherous and perverted bastard, how can you gift your daughter with something like this. Don’t you have any shame?”

I jumped out of his arms and turned the bracelet into a whip with a single thought and lashed out at Thanatos-sama. I should have known better, from the moment I met him I knew he was a pervert.

“My cute Nao-chan, you can’t treat me like this. I put my heart and soul into making this item. It’s just that, when I was making this weapon, you were writing those books. I couldn’t help but let my mind wander wild as I forged it.”

“You bastard, how dare you spy on me all the time? Pray that I don’t catch you.”

I tried to capture him. But he merely waved his hand at the whip and it turned back into the bracelet form and I was thrown onto my bed from the force he exerted. I tried to turn it back into whip form once again, but I felt like something was blocking my power. I knew it must have been Thanatos-sama that did it.

“Anyways, I can’t stay or the others will complain. I already took too long. Nao-chan, I know you have questions, but save them for later. In the meantime, help out your brother if he needs it. He’s not bad for a stinky brat.”

Thanatos-sama then snapped his fingers and vanished into thin air right in front of everyone. How shameless! I tried to take off the bracelet, but no matter how I pulled on it, it would not come off. I couldn’t even place it in my inventory.

“Bastard!”

Feeling helpless, I turned to look at everyone present. I was in a bad mood because of the King and Thanatos-sama, and seeing that all of them were looking at me as if seeing a ghost I only felt more irritated.

“What are you staring at?”

“Nao-chan, your face.”

“What about my face? Are you scared of a mere scar all of a sudden?”

“No. Nao-chan, your scar is gone.”
