A Luxurious Lineup of VALSOK Goods [Part 1]

[T/N: ALSOK is a home security company in Japan. Apparently, it’s an abbreviation for “Always-Security-OK.” Lol, idk if this company name is goofy or witty... In that sense, VALSOK is “Violet-Always-Security-OK”???]

“B-Boom! Ugh... Boom, boom. *sob* Uuhhh, b-boom...”

The unimaginably cruel act of killing people with magic, at last, broke the thumb-sized magician’s conscience and caused him to scream. Tears trickled down endlessly from his tiny eyes as he suddenly dropped to his knees.

“*sob* *sob sob* ...*hiccup, sob*”

Magic should be a wonderful power used for the greater good of the world and the people. All the unutterable words of the thumb-sized magician turned into sobs, and he was no longer in a state of mind to use magic.

“Wh...y... am I...”

The thumb-sized magician already didn’t know how many cannons he fired. All he knew was that he had fired a lot... he ended up firing a lot. Regret already washed over him.

‘Just how many people died, just how many people were injured in that bombardment? How many homes were destroyed? How about the fire?

I don’t know... But it’s a lot.

At any rate, I’ve fired a lot... so many people died, got injured, and many things were destroyed...

The city called the Royal Capital I have never seen before now becomes a sea of fire...’

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry...”

‘Did I... Did I mutate into a magician to do this kind of thing?’ The thumb-sized magician was shaken. Magic should be an extraordinary power bestowed on humans to defend themselves from monsters. It’s supposed to be a power to protect.

Then,

“The Kingdom’s Knight Order, came.”

The only door of this room was opened, and a blue-haired boy announced the arrival of the Knight Order in broken Kingdom language.

“Huh?”

The knights kept asking the same question many times.

“As I said, this here is Joanna-sama. She is most likely the perpetrator of the bombardment on the Royal Capital...”

Joshua explained for the nth time for the knights, whom he suspected to have zero comprehensive ability.

The Empire’s ships firing many shells towards the Royal Capital was an unmistakable fact, and the Kingdom’s knights should have also seen it on their way to the Port of Simmons. The firing sound was so loud that it could be called a roar, and anyone with good eyesight should be able to follow the trajectory of the dozens of shells.

In reality, only half the number of knights Joshua requested rushed to the scene. Joshua thought the other half turned back after seeing the flying artillery shells.

Translator’s corner:

-‘Did I... Did I mutate into a magician to do this kind of thing?’

Remember that magicians in this world aren’t born magicians but instead mutate into one. I think the author’s word choice “mutate” is quite an important hint. What do you guys think?
