Just a clarification, sin names are similar in all three languages, to not be confused in future.

“How about you go fuck yourselves with a stick?” Arisa threw a reply. My favorite line that I wrote.

 

Bruh~~~

I was sitting in a very fancy carriage and thinking.

‘I definitely saw it and heard it. ‘Hunting season begins’ What’s that supposed to mean?’

As I was thinking about it, we arrived to the city. It had a nice bridge going over a stream that disappeared into the distance. When we approached the gates, I was woken up from my thoughts.

“Who travels here! Show your identification or pay the fee!”

I could see Arisa open the door and I saw the guard, who froze in fear the moment he laid his eyes upon me.

‘Am I scary? I remember Arisa saying that I’m cute though?’

“Oi! What’s happening there!” Another one shouted.

“There’s a demon fox here!” He shouted and got everyone’s attention, after a second, they started panicking.

“Aaaaaah! A demon fox! We’re dead!”

“Let me out! Leeeeeet meeeeeeee ooooooooouuuuuuuuuuutt!”

“Step out of the carriage this moment!”

“Eve, we have to step out for a bit.” She translated the situation to me as always.

“Why is everyone screaming?”

“Because people believe that demon species always kill everyone. And you are a demon fox, I think you understand why.”

“Yes…” I felt a little sad. My tail dropped and my ears flopped down also.

“Aww… Don’t be so sad, commoners are always stupid, don’t mind them.” She hugged me tight.

When we stepped outside, we were instantly surrounded by at least twenty guards who had their swords drawn. After seeing true swords before my own eyes, the only sane reaction I got was a really curious smile.

Whilst I was looking around with stars in my eyes, looking at every sword. Every single guard had a gladius style-looking sword except one guy who was most likely the leader, because he had a pretty fancy estoc. (It’s a true sword, if you don’t believe or know, google it, gladiuses are also true)

‘What a diversity of swords, the leader has a sword that originated in France and others have Roman empire swords!’

“Tell me why is that vile demon fox in your carriage!?” The guy with the fancy sword started shouting.

“Let me explain, no need to shout. I’m simply going to do some simple shopping, as for Eve here, she was following me because of her master’s order.”

“What about the hunting season? It will begin shortly, what will you do with her then? Once it begins, demon foxes kill everyone, doesn’t matter if they are family members or not. There’s clear signs that she’s been caught up in that.” He threw a question.

“We will dispose of her when the time comes.” Arisa answered.

“Is she aggressive?”

“No, she isn’t.”

Everyone sheathed their swords back.

“You are free to go. Be careful not to get caught.”

“Thank you for your understanding.” Arisa bowed, I followed her.

After this little commotion, which I apparently caused, as Arisa translated to me, everything went pretty smoothly. We were nearby a stand that was selling apples, that was when I heard a voice.

“Envy… Envy… Oh, I so envy them…” A female voice started speaking again, it was me again.

“Hmm?” Arisa turned to me.

“I envy them…” I was still mumbling.

She took me by the hand and went into a dark alley. She placed the bag of apples on the ground, and looked me in the eyes.

“Are you alright? Eve.”

I was still mumbling.

“Envy… Envy…”

That was when some thugs appeared in the same alley where we were.

“Hand over your money if you want to live.”

“How about you go fuck yourselves with a stick?” Arisa threw a reply.

“You bitch!” One of them looked like he was about to pop a vein.

“Envy… I envy them…” I was still in my own little world.

“This little bitch over here is mumbling the same shit over and over again, make her shut up!”

“Fuck off assholes!” Arisa shouted back at them.

One of them walked closer to us and heard what I was mumbling.

“What are you mumbling over there!”

“Envy… I envy them…”

“What the fuck? Envy? It’s a forbidden subject even amongst the royals to talk about the sins.”

The same moment he mentioned envy, I awakened.

My eyes were turned completely black and the thorn mark around my neck was nowhere to be seen.

I jumped towards the neck of the nearest thug. When I was already behind him, five slits appeared on his neck and at the same moment they opened widely with blood spurting out of them. I licked my bloody fingers.

“Aaah… So nice… Fresh blood!” I exclaimed and jumped at the same thug, this time I managed to rip out a good chunk of flesh from his neck.

“Somebody, get this bitch off me!” He was pleading for help from his buddies. They just stood there and looked at him shocked.

“Heeeeeeeeeellp me!!!” He shouted for help.

I thawed at his neck one more time, this time killing him.

“What is happening there!?” I heard two male voices, most likely guards who heard this commotion.

“Oh no! It’s the guards! Come with me Eve! Quickly!” Arisa tried to get my cooperation, sadly she failed.

Because, as my name was engraved, it stated, ‘should my name be mentioned within my presence, I shall slaughter everyone.’ And that was going to happen here, instead of cooperating with her, I attacked her with the same attack. She evaded it like it was nothing new to her.

“So no cooperation, huh? Then let me try this instead.” She mumbled and moved so quickly, I couldn’t even see what she did, all I felt was a hit in the back of my head and me falling unconscious.

*POV- The one who named Envy* (I have an actual name for her, you just need to wait for the plot.)

I was just reading a book in peace when I first felt it. I smiled creepily just like the other six times.

“Looks like Envy used her powers, let us wait until she returns.” I spoke out of nowhere.

“What do you mean, mother?” Someone asked.

“Nothing special Pride, your youngest sister, Envy, finally used her powers that I bestowed.”

“What shall we do?”

“Nothing for now, when the time comes, I will send you out to meet your newest family member and probably the most dangerous one.”

“What do you mean by most dangerous? Shouldn’t I be the most sinful out of us?”

“Technically speaking, you’re right. You have the most original sin name, Pride. Aside that, your curse that I placed upon you makes you go all out on your opponent. Sorry, not the most thoughtful curse for you, but the best I could muster up at the moment. But I’m talking about Envy here, the curse placed upon her is the strongest I have ever thought of. It makes her kill everyone around her and taker their life experience, basically meaning, she can acquire knowledge, power and even lifespan that can surpass us. Seriously, what sort of little sister did I make you look after…” I started to realize all the wrong choices I had made up until this point.

“No need to worry mother. I will keep an eye on her. Because after all, I pride myself in my abilities.” He gave me his, ‘I will take care of this.’ Smile and we got back at doing paperwork to somehow stabilize the demon kingdom until Envy arrives.

‘Please, arrive here as soon as you can.’ I thought whilst looking at the stack of paper.
