A Girl Who Was Told "You Have No Talent" Turned Out To Be A Talented Monster - Chapter 65.2
Zakir shuddered, blood staining the ground.
“No matter what dirty things you have done, I’m going to beat the crap out of people like you, fair and square. Don’t you think it is very kind of me?”
“I surrender, I surrender…”
“Are you saying you’re giving up?”
“Yeah, p, please, s, spare me.”
“No… I don’t think so.”
Charl pointed the Halberd down showing the other side of the blade. Mounted on that side was a red flag.
It was that Flag where the party’s name, Red Flag, came from, so Zakir realized. But it was too late.
“You want to save yourself while desecrating the lives of others as you please. Don’t you think it’s ironic?”
“Anything, anything I…”
“We deny your white flags. That’s the goal of our Red Flag.”
As Charl’s Halberd was about to decapitate Zakir, a ball of water swallowed Zakir, lifting him through the air.
The drowning Zakir trapped inside the water ball attempted to escape, but was rolled violently like a garment being washed.
“Abobobobobobobo…!”
“Hm, Kuufa? What are you doing?”
“I, I don’t know, but…”
Charl was in no mood to have his execution interrupted. The look in his eyes made Kuufa almost cry.
Kuufa explained her actions to Charl, who was more fearsome than a bandit.
“Ah, I’m sorry…”
“…Didn’t I tell you? You shouldn’t listen to these guys begging for their lives.”
“I’m sorry…”
“You’re apologizing so quickly… Well, that’s okay. You can maintain this, right?”
“Ye, yes, I can make him breathe if I just get his head out of the water…”
Zakir popped his head out of the water ball and breathed heavily. But the next time he attempted another escape, it would result in the same action without Kuufa instructing the effect.
“Charl, are you sure about this?”
“Caron, I know you’re not happy about this, but I have some ideas.”
“Is it for the both of them again?”
“Yes.”
Jennifer and Daido watched in silence, and although Litty did not know what they were thinking, she had a similar thought to Charl.
For their selfishness, people like Zakir didn’t care a bit about taking the lives of others, including their own subordinates. In Litty’s opinion, such creatures were not “humans”.
“Kuufa-san, this person is no different from a monster.”
“But monsters, uh, they don’t apologize.”
“Some monsters show their stomachs to surrender, but they will still kill you at the first chance they get. Moreover, they will never stop killing other people.”
“But, but…”
“It’s okay, Litty.”
Litty didn’t want to argue either, and when Charl interrupted her, she retracted her words, and Charl was satisfied with her response.
Charl first thought that Litty would come to the same conclusion as Kuufa, but that was not the case. The problem was Kuufa.
“Well then, I’m going to go and look around the hideout, so you guys wait here.”
“Me too…”
“No, we’ll do it on our own.”
Charl was concerned about stimulating the girls. After all, there was nothing good about a villain’s hideout. It was not unusual to find girls taken captive and humiliated.
Charl considered it a learning experience from an adventurer’s point of view, but he was not ready to show them the worst.
“I want you guys to remain pure, you know?”
“Eh…?”
He meant that literally. It was merely Charl’s quirk.
Litty tried to follow Red Flag’s group as they entered the cave, but she was turned away.
“I appreciate their concern, but I think they are being overprotective.”
“Myan…”
Litty’s frustration grew as she felt that she was being treated like a child to this point.

Fortunately, the search of Red Flag’s hideout did not turn up anything dubious.
The members again pinched their noses at the robbed goods and the food that had been scattered around. Charl laughed as he complained, saying, “I’m not used to this, even though it happens every time.”
After packing up the items to take back, they started their return trip. Someone might find belongings of people who suffered from bandit attacks, or something that could connect them to future works.
