CHAPTER 3 - THE HUMAN BUREAUCRAT WHO LOVES JUSTICE AND FREEDOM COMES TO THE RESCUE! DIE!
"Government official!? Why are you here..."
"Out of my way!"
The man referred to as a government official kicked Asugi's abdomen forcefully as she tried to intervene, drew his sword, and cut the ropes binding Sota.
"Are you alright, my friend? Did those elves rough you up?"
The government official rushed to Sota, his face beaming with a smile, and asked him.
"Hey, hold on a sec! What's with you!? You didn't have to kick her! And why are you helping me in the first place!?"
"It's about humans helping each other, isn't it?"
The government official replied with a confident grin.
"Huh...?"
—But that doesn't mean you should kick a defenseless woman, right? Judging by the atmosphere so far, these guys have some issues with humans.
—Huh? Wait a second, the reason they dislike humans... could it be...
"Don't say a word! You must be forced into saying such things by these filthy and lazy elves! I was right to leave the inn to check on things! You elves... torturing and tormenting humans who wander in, taking out your frustrations on them, you despicable lot! In the name of the kingdom, I shall deliver punishment upon you!"
The man raised his sword high.
—
—Huh...? Oh, oh, oh my god! I get it now! I understand! The reason I, as a human, am disliked!
—Here, humans refer to people like this guy!
"Quick, you must escape now! Don't mind me, go on ahead! After all, they say that drinking elf blood sharpens the edge of a sword, right? Come on now!"
—And he doesn't even want to help me! He just wants an excuse to act like a violent ruffian! What a damn bastard! It's infuriating! He's not here to help; he's just a self-righteous, obnoxious savage!
—He's ruining all the effort I put into friendly dialogue!
—First things first... it's you... I can't stand you more than the elves! After all, isn't the root of all my misfortunes those rotten humans...!
—I can't take it anymore. And I won't overlook this. This kind of behavior!
—I have a definite way to knock this guy down!
Sota stood up with his now free body.
"Sorry about this, Mr. Government Official."
"Don't worry, if I kill this woman, I'll be pursued immediately. Or should I watch as you do it? Elf screams are quite delightful, you know. It's the only beauty they have left~!"
As the official swung his sword down towards Asugi, Sota's right fist landed on the back of the official's head just a fraction sooner.
"Ugh, what the...!?"
Simultaneously, through Sota's fist, Fentanyl flowed into the official's brain even faster and more effectively than before.
The official didn't even have time to scream; he fell unconscious with a single blow.
[Message: Fentanyl remaining: Zero]
The same strange characters as before flowed through. With the knowledge he had been given, Sota understood the situation.
—Out of ammo. The ability to inject poison and the ability to neutralize it. Can only use as much poison as I've neutralized.
—Better to shoot poison up close and focus on strangulation.
—I've practiced the installed techniques. Remaining options are chemotherapy and truth serum.
"Sigh... Damn it!"
Sota snatched the sword from the official and threw it to the corner of the room.
After confirming that the official wasn't moving, he turned his attention to Asugi, who had fallen. She looked terrified.
"...Uh, excuse me. Are you okay?"
Sota extended his hand towards the fallen Asugi.
After a startled expression, Asugi meekly accepted the help, then pointed at the official.
"T-Thank you... for helping me, right?"
"It's not like that, I just dislike guys like him. Are you in pain?"
"N-No, I'm fine. He just kicked me... it's just this much."
"Where I come from, a kick to the abdomen isn't usually considered 'just this much.'"
"Is that so...? But, um, that..."
"What is it? Right now, your well-being should take priority..."
Asugi interrupted Sota's words by pointing her finger.
"Mr. Government Official, you're not breathing... are you?"
"Gah!"
The respiratory depression caused by narcotic analgesics is a direct effect on the medullary respiratory center, which is dose-dependent. This results in a decreased response of the respiratory center to carbon dioxide, leading to a reduction in respiratory rate.
To prevent overdose, it is necessary to gradually increase the dosage while monitoring both the effects and side effects.
