TDADP chapter 261: G.o.d´s alibi

This chapter includes a gore part.

-----------------------------------------------

"Eeii! A rude person!! Who do you think I am!!"

"This kind of lawlessness cannot be tolerated!"

"Don't touch the people!"

The aristocrats belonging to the Balue faction are being taken away by the imperial guards of the Udon Kingdom. Their arms are tied behind their backs with handcuffs. The handcuffs were given the effect of restraining physical ability and the use of magic to prevent resistance and escape. The appearance of being taken in a sloppy manner was seen by many people such as civilians and maids working in the royal castle.

"Where do you guys take us?"

A n.o.bleman who thought he would be taken to the dungeon muttered. He has visited the royal castle many times, so he has a certain structure in his head, but it isn't as thought.

"Huh. You can't throw us aristocrats into a dingy prison"

"I thought we will be under house arrest somewhere"

"You don't have to wait for a trial in the House of Lords. By this time, our servants and maids will be contacting our territories"

They can't say it because there are guards, but if their camp, which boasts more than one-third of the power of the Udon Kingdom, rebels, there are other aristocrats who are dissatisfied with the king. They saw that there was a good chance of responding. If that happens, a war will occur before something is decided in a trial in the House of Lords. They thought that there was no way for them to survive except to find a way out there.

"If such a tyranny is allowed, the country will be disturbed and by extension, the people will be adversely affected!"

"That's right! Depending on the situation, His Majesty, no, Udon's king may be held responsible for his negligence and this turmoil and he needs to resign from the throne"

There, the conversation between the aristocrats is interrupted. Beautiful colorful flowers such as red and blue were in full bloom in front of them. It is the courtyard garden between the royal castle and the royal palace. The conversation between the aristocrats was interrupted not because they were mistakenly fascinated by the beautiful gardens.

"Wh......What is this!?"

"Why is there a gallows in a place like this......"

Among the beautiful flowers, the gallows installed at equal intervals were a strange sight and it was no wonder that the aristocrats snarled.

"It looks like it was in time. I'm glad I gave you instructions to make a detour"

"Yo, Your Majesty"

King Udon, who is a little out of breath, appears with Prime Minister b.a.l.l.s in front of the surprised aristocrats. Then, the maids who appeared out of nowhere began to line up the tables and chairs and when King Udon took his seat, he brewed tea.

"What amazes you? Remember the sins you have committed and in the light of the law of the Udon Kingdom, you will definitely be sentenced to death. You are in the House of Lords trial. No matter how good you are to speak up and defend, the capital punishment will not overturn. Then you don't have to wait for a trial in the House of Lords. It's free to imprison you in prison. That's not to say. It's a waste of time, soldiers watching the prison, food, excrement disposal and above all, don't you think it makes sense to be sentenced to death immediately?"

The aristocrats have no words. They never thought that their life and death could be decided as if they could throw away the trash so easily.

"Huhu, this is in front of the building. I really want you to entertain me until the end"

That said, Udon's King winks at the aristocrats.

"Do......Don't be silly!!"

"You're crazy!! This king is crazy!!"

"My King! My clan will surely reward you!!"

"Yo, Your Majesty! Please reconsider! Please!"

"Why will no one stop such a tyranny!! The country will be destroyed!!"

"If we disappear, you don't know why the operation of the nation will hinder the politics!!"

Some were swearing and some were pleading to reconsider the execution of the sentence, but in the end they all verbally pleaded King Udon for help.

"Huhuhuu. It seems to be terrible"

「It can't be helped if it was said」 said b.a.l.l.s, who stands next to King Udon, though he couldn't say it, but it appeared on his face.

"I'm surprised that you were so worried about the future of the Udon Kingdom, but don't worry about yourself. What a convenient successor to manage your territory, by chance. Waiting in each territory"

"Your Majesty!! Please reconsider!! Such lawlessness will leave a stigma!!"

"Marquis Fechi, don't be so pessimistic. In my expectation, you are second"

Marquis Fechi glares at what he is saying, but finds a piece of paper on the table in front of King Udon. Understanding everything by seeing their name and number next to it on the paper.

"Yo......You!! You're crazy!!"

"Come on, get started. All at the same time"

The imperial guards quietly hang a rope around the necks of the aristocrats who scream. Then, they pushed them down from the gallows without any deviation.

"Agaa.....goin......g"

"No......hel......p"

"Noo......I dont......wan......die"

The rope that bites into the neck obstructs the circulation of blood to the head, which causes the complexion of the aristocrats to turn blue-purple. The stain on the lower abdomen is due to leaked manure. King Udon listens to the moans of the aristocrats as if he were listening to music and tastes tea. Gradually giving up or losing consciousness with one or two people. After a while, everyone stopped responding.

"b.a.l.l.s-kun, look"

b.a.l.l.s looks into the paper presented by King Udon.

"I won everything. I won"

Predicting who would die first and writing on a piece of paper, King Udon gladly applauded when his prediction was a big hit.

"Your Majesty"

A civilian rushes from the royal castle side to King Udon, who is immersed in the afterglow for a while. Before the imperial guards could stop him, the civilian stopped at the horrific sight in front of him and was speechless.

"What happened?"

"Ah......haa! Excuse me. Duke Bona wants His Majesty to give permission for an audience on an urgent matter"

"William wants to see me?"

King Udon stares at the hanging aristocrats. Among the silent corpses were nephews and aristocrats that William sent to the Balue faction.

"William, who had avoided seeing me so much, wants to see me. Let's meet him happily"

With that said, King Udon stands up.

"Ah, that's right. You guys, please treat the body carefully so that it doesn't get damaged. And don't forget to embalm, I promised it to the Nameless's King"

Even b.a.l.l.s didn't ask, 「For what?」.

----------------------------------------

"I thought I could see something interesting, but I didn't think I could see that much"

Karl Heinz talks with a little excitement. He left the audience and was on his way back from the royal castle to the Adventurer's Guild without any interrogation.

"Aren't you a little calm? This is not a room with soundproofing and wiretapping measures"

Many people come and go on the street. No one knows who is listening where. 「Don't slip your mouth unnecessarily」, Morpheus scolds. Seeing that, Edda somehow snorted.

"Did Fifi-chan expect this to happen? No, no matter what......nono! My beloved daughter could be enough!! That Yuuu Sato formed an equal alliance with the Udon Kingdom. To that Satou, it's a big deal to make a loan. It's immeasurable how much the adventurer's guild will get. As expected from Fifi-chan, Fifi-chan is great, Fifi-chan is my daughter"

Morpheus wanted to swear, 「This parent is stupid」, but he decided to silently listen to the boastful story because Karl Heinz wasn't lying.

"But I can't help but be happy"

Karl Heinz, who suddenly returns to a serious face, takes a distance as if Edda sees a disgusting creature.

"It's the Finance Minister. That Balue can't end as it is. What kind of awkward hands will he use to retaliate? Why did Yuu Satou not get rid of him there, does Morpheus know?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure I'm thinking that the only thing I can say is that he is not a monster"

"Well, if the guild is long, it would be terrible. Yuu-chan is a nice and kind child, right?"

"I know, but I'm done with the royal capital. I'm going back to Comer"

"I haven't bought souvenirs for everyone in the guild"

"Nuu. I don't care about souvenirs"

"Not good"

"I understand. I understand, so lets buy it quickly and go home"

In the end, Morpheus accepts Edda's case, and Karl Heinz puts himself on the shelf and sees him as a ridiculous man on a woman's a.s.s.

-----------------------------------

Heading northwest from Tenca.s.si, the royal capital of the Udon Kingdom, you will soon see a lush forest area. There are six shadows running through the trees.

(Why? Why did this happen? That woman. Nina Levar, it's clear that she was hiding some of the information about Yuu Satou. Without it, I wouldn't be like this and have failed)

Asking himself is the civilian of the royal capital who serves Balue, and his ident.i.ty is François Arnaldi, a spy from the Holy Country Jardalk. The remaining five shadows are the soldiers who are given no name and belonging to the intelligence agency Hua Brosom, which he follows, all of which are not even close to the feet of ordinary soldiers.

"Francois, can you return to the country without doing anything?"

"Unfortunately, it will take decades for Balue to come back and King Udon was aware of my existence. Remaining in the Udon Kingdom is more than a merit. The disadvantages are even greater"

François, who has succeeded in many difficult missions as a member of Hua Brosom, was full of bitterness. Suddenly, Francois stops. The five shadows spread out in line with the movement.

"I know you're hiding there. Why do you not come out?"

It was Nina who came out from behind the tree.

"I didn't mean to hide separately. Francois-san, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Nina behaves intimately, as if she were talking to a friend.

"You smell like blood, but it smells like dark blood that hasn't pa.s.sed that long"

"Ahaha. Hey, right?"

François's men who have spread out have already aimed the throwing knife from the top or shade of the tree to Nina's head.

"That? Francois-san, are you angry? Why?"

"White. Nina-san, did you know that Yuu Satou had secretly met King Udon and had the horns of an ancient dragon?"

"Yeah, I knew. What's wrong with that?"

"You know, so why didn't you report it to me. You can't say you couldn't do it. If I knew it, Balue wouldn't have been driven that far"

"I don't think that's the case. And Olivier didn't give such an instruction"

"After all, you weren't restricted by Olivier Duraland. So, is all the information you've been sending here a lie?"

"Hmm? It's not a lie. However――other than me...okay. All the information I gave to Francois-san is true, isn't it? Olivier-sama gave information about myself and Yuu. It seems that the Finance Minister and Francois-san always thought that Yuu would be dealt with. That way, I want various countries to gradually know about Yuu"

"Why?"

"Like Cardinal Bataille, I want to use Yuu to fight a war. However, Cardinal Bataille seems to be trying to increase the number of believers by using it, but Olivier-sama is different"

Nina looks at François while tilting her face sideways, going back and forth from side to side.

"It's interesting. Can I just ask for a special reason?"

"There is no special reason. Olivier isn't interested in dolls in the first place. And Olivier's purpose is――"

"His goal is?"

"François-san, who is about to die, doesn't need to know"

The moment Nina smiled at Francois, dozens of throwing knives were thrown from the surroundings. The blades are poisoned and if you are a normal person, it is extremely poisonous enough to kill you several times just by scooping it.

"Did you also receive a transcription from Stella?"

A thread of magic power was stretched around to protect Nina before one knew it. The thread of magic power deviates or flips the dozens of throwing knives, leaving Nina unharmed.

"Suddenly so terrible~"

"Did Olivier order you to erase me?"

"No way. Olivier-sama wasn't interested in Francois-san from the beginning, so he won't order me to kill you"

"I don't know more and more. So why were you ambus.h.i.+ng us here?"

"Because François said that Stella is just shameful trash. That's why I should discipline you"

François didn't think it was arrogant. Nina has reached level 40 at a young age. She might make a mistake. But that was until he heard the following words. As soon as he heard the words, the att.i.tude of Francois changed suddenly.

"And I'm thinking of telling you that there is no such thing as an irrigation G.o.d"

Even when throwing a throwing knife to kill Nina, the ninjas who didn't leak any killing intent spilled their killing intent.

"Waa"

One of the ninjas, silently approaching behind Nina, releases a piercing cry. However, even if the sound could be muted, a dense murder intent was leaking. Nina makes a deliberate voice, turns her body half a turn and hesitates. However, another man, who had narrowed the distance to crawl the ground, was already in the process of sweeping.

"Hyaa"

Two more men chase after Nina, who jumps and escapes into the air. One man's right arm is twisted, releasing the palm bottom at a stretch. The LV4 a.s.sa.s.sination technique,『Short palm heart strike』, is a technique to strike the bottom of the palm into the internal organs of the heart to cause cardiopulmonary arrest. It was released from the front and back so as to sandwich Nina's heart. On the other hand, when Nina twists her body, she simultaneously releases 『Short palm heart strike』 with both arms. The palms of each other collide with each other and the power is offset. Although it doesn't show up in the face, the men inwardly send surprises and praise towards Nina. She forcibly twisted her body from that unfavorable posture and released the a.s.sa.s.sination technique 『Short palm heart strike』with both arms, which was originally supposed to be used with one arm. It is also accurate enough to offset the power. If less powerful, Nina's arms would have been shattered. If the power of either arm was superior, the balance of the body would be greatly disturbed and the fifth man who was looking for a gap would have given a decisive blow.

"Honestly, I was surprised. Nina, that you had such an arm"

The men dressed in black surround Nina while keeping a certain distance.

"But you know from the current offense and defense, you can't win.We five here are the ones who have been trained and raised. Individuals are all more capable than you"

"That's right. I don't know because I've never been able to kill you because I wanted to kill you"

While saying that, when Nina crosses her arms, Francois and the five men are pulled toward Nina.

"What?"

The magic thread created by Nina was entwined with their bodies.

“Holy Technique『Heaven´s vengeance - Bind』”

François's expression that resists the pulling magic thread isn't impatient. The same goes for the five men, who put magic power on the daggers they hold in their hands and the blades on their arms and legs and cut the magic threads.

"Did you think we Hua Brosom were just spies? You underestimate us"

When the talk is over, Francois cuts off the magic thread with a knife. Starting with that, the men in black attack Nina.

"Uwawaa"

The offense and defense unfolds between Nina and the men at a tremendous speed. The men interweave a.s.sa.s.sination techniques with the empty fist. LV4's a.s.sa.s.sination technique 『Suffocation Sword Chisokuto』 tries to crush Nina's trachea with a hand sword, but Nina bends over and avoids. Another man shoots a kick there. It is an LV6's a.s.sa.s.sination technique 『a.s.sa.s.sination Kicking』. If it succeeds, it is a technique that takes the life of the other party with a single blow. By a hairbreadth, Nina hides the key point with a cross, but is blown backward by the impact.

"Itataa"

Nina's arms were numb due to the impact.

"Hey. Wait a minute~"

Before she knew it, one of the men was sneaking into Nina's pocket. The sign was erased by the LV3 a.s.sa.s.sination technique 『Qi Erasing Technique』. As it is, the man releases the LV7 a.s.sa.s.sination technique 『Elbow Heart Hitting』. A deadly elbow strike approaches Nina's heart. However, the movement of the man stops as if it has solidified. A throwing knife was stuck in the shadow of the man. Nina sewed it on the ground with LV1's shadow technique『Shadow st.i.tching』. However, that also earned only a small amount of time. Another man throws a throwing knife to sew Nina's shadow but it is parried with a thrown kunai. Nina is gradually cornered by the undisturbed cooperation of the men.

"Kyaaaaa"

It seemed that the man's sword pierced Nina, but it was a shadow. LV3's shadow technique『Afterimage』.

(It's strange)

François, who watches over the battle, suspiciously stares at Nina, who is still moving with full-blown wounds. Nina is doing so well that it's strange why she hasn't died yet. Despite the gradual acc.u.mulation of damage, Nina is still moving.

(It's okay if she can't move, but why won't she die, because of the poison we've already applied to our weapons or bodies)

Hua Brosom people basically poison their weapons and bodies regardless of their rank. The poison cannot be completely surpa.s.sed by those who are resistant to abnormal conditions, such as a.s.sa.s.sins and spies. However, Nina is still moving. François is not the only one who is aware of the anomaly. The five men were already aware of it. But those who have been rigorously trained dont disturb.

"Already! It's persistent~"

Nina again restrains the men with the Holy Technique『Heaven´s vengeance - Bind』.

"It is useless――『Holy Light Threads - Seikouhen』

The men cut the magic thread in the same way as before, but the broken magic thread is intricately entwined and restrains the men with stronger force.

"Why can you use holy techniques......"

"Hu, I'm tired"

Exaggeratedly, Nina wipes the sweat on her forehead with her arms.

"What are you doing? Release the restraint quickly"

François orders in the same tone as usual. However, the men don't react. No, they're trying to react, but their bodies don't move.

"Ehehe~. This made you a little stuck"

Nina proudly raises the black dragon fang dagger. The dagger produced from the fangs of a black dragon had a certain probability of paralyzing.

"If I remember correctly, the dagger would have a paralyzing effect with a certain probability"

"That's right"

"At the same time, it cannot paralyze my subordinates"

"Now......it's not a certain probability"

"What are you talking about?"

"More than that, only Francois-san is left"

François, who was wary of an ambush, couldn't help but partic.i.p.ate in this situation.

"Can you beat me like that?"

"I can afford it. I have never lost"

Nina guts poses to make François a fool.

"Let me tell you that there is a top above"

François disappears in an instant. The a.s.sa.s.sination technique 『Qi Erasing』 erases the presence and the martial art 『Earth Armor』 is activated at the same time to appear in Nina´s vicinity at once. A huge amount of fighting spirit has already been compressed and collected in François's palm. From there, the LV7 a.s.sa.s.sination technique, 『Blood Vessel Tearing Palm - Blood Vessel Laceration』 will be activated. After that, if he hits the palm with the fighting spirit he gathered, the blood vessels of the whole body will rupture and Nina will die without knowing what happened.

"It is the end"

When she saw François's right hand, which contained his fighting spirit, he said that he was a lonely opponent when it was over.

"Ah......this is......what the h.e.l.l......"

All the fingers of François's right hand were bent and turned into a brutal figure. In addition, there is no figure of Nina who should have been hit by 『Blood Vessel Tearing Palm - Blood Vessel Laceration』. Nina stood ten meters away from where Francois was.

"Why do you think I'm weaker than François-san?"

Nina bends over her back, looking at François's face.

"It seems that you looked a little sweet, but the battle is about to begin"

François didn't feel any pain when his right fingers were broken. The pain sense is blocked by the LV6 battle technique 『Mind Destruction』.

"U～h, it's over"

"What――my body?"

François's body was already restrained by the magic thread created by Nina.

"When"

"From the beginning"

"It is impossible to do such a thing. Without being noticed by me and my subordinates, you set up 『Holy Technique』 and 『Holy Light Threads - Seikouhen』"

"The saint faction calls it 『Holy Technique』 and the saintees faction calls it 『Holy Light Threads - Seikouhen』, but it's really different"

"What's the difference?"

"This is what you call 『Cat's Cradle』. You know Francois, right? You know that and Jardalk is really dingy, as if they had devised it"

Men who are restrained by the magic thread and can only move their mouths due to abnormal paralysis――the men, who had been physically and mentally trained by rigorous training――men, who are usually unwavering, shouted with emotion.

"H......Heretic! Black Saintess――byaa"

"Are you a heretic of the Immortal religious organisation!! Saku――paa!?"

The men's mouths are torn vertically and horizontally.

"I'm sor～ry"

Nina apologizes to the men. A black-edged dagger, black dragon fang was held in her hand.

"But? I don't want the dingy Jardalk people to be friendly and familiar and don't call their names"

Nina's black dragon fang, enters a man's abdomen without resistance and is sucked in.

"Gaa......I, I......nee!"

"A～h, I shouldn't put too much effort into your stomach"

The abdominal pressure causes the internal organs to spill from the belly of the man who had the blade pulled sideways by Nina.

"Guu, i......itahhyaaa......"

"See, I told you~"

Like François, the man who shouldn't feel pain was distorted in pain by the battle technique 『Mind Destruction』.

"It's strange, isn't it? I'm not punished for doing such a terrible thing to those who believe in Irigamit. Maybe there is no G.o.d in Irigamit?"

"Gi, Gizamaa!! Gyaaaaaaa"

Nina pierces the abdomen of another man with the black dragon fang many times.

"Or is it an incompetent G.o.d? It's the same with or without it and it's just useless and annoying"

"Yu, Yuruzanzo!! De, Denba Hyuga!!"

A man with a torn mouth and unable to speak well glares with hateful eyes, but Nina doesn't care. Then, one after another, the men are tortured to suffer as much as possible.

"François-san, I'm making a fool of Irigamit, but nothing happens. After all, there is no G.o.d"

"You are"

"Do you admit it?"

François responds silently to Nina's question.

"Don't you know yet? It can't be helped~"

When Nina shakes her black dragon fang, François's clothes are torn apart, revealing his bare skin. In addition, Nina used the black dragon fang to cut the roots of François's limbs in a circular motion.

"Ikuyo~"

Nina, who puts her black dragon fang in its sheath, squeezes her finger into the wound on François's right shoulder.

"Stop it"

François understands what's going to happen and tells Nina to stop calmly.

"So～ne!"

Nina puts a lot of effort into peeling off the skin at once. Then, the skin from the base of François's right shoulder to his wrist was peeled off with a violent noise. The pink skin looks into it and the skin hangs loosely from François's right wrist, like the sleeves of torn clothes.

"――a......a!?"

François is confused by a feeling that he hasn't felt in a long time.

"Because you can't cheat, right? I won't allow you to get rid of the pain"

With that said, Nina then puts her finger on François's left shoulder.

"Stop......Stop――hii!? Gyaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

François faints in agony when the skin is peeled off at once. However, Nina strips off François's fingernails and awakens him from fainting.

"I still have your legs left, so do your best. I hope Irigamit will help you soon"

Nina smiles at Francois.

"Stop――gahaaaa!!? H, Heretic!!, But the judgment of G.o.d......don't......! Already stop......graceful, help――gyaaaaaaaaaaa......!!"

François screams echo through the forest. How much time did she spend? When Nina finished everything, the area had turned into a sea of ​​blood.

"After all, there is no G.o.d"

Who did she mutter to? No one answers Nina's words in the sea of ​​blood. Nina, who was staring at her hand dyed in bright red, suddenly turned her gaze, and there was――

Those who chase two rabbits won't get a single rabbit.

The illusion of a slightly angry black-haired girl with her hands on her hips told Nina.

"I know that......Sakura"

-------------------------------------

『......No............teru............kura』

Hearing a murky voice from a small bug.

"Muu....... After all, the accuracy isn't good if it is this far away"

Victor muttered unfortunately in the blooming flowers.

"Then, why not get closer?"

"That's a good idea, but let's stop"

"Are you worried that I cant protect you?"

Dalibor, one of 『Hameln Eight Fighters』 asks Victor dissatisfied.

"It's not so relentless. I can't tell the strength of a fighting job like you in the first place"

"Then why not?"

"I don't know how strong she is, but my intuition is that we shouldn't get any closer. Do you know why a harmless man like me survived against royal aristocrats who are infested with demonic temples?"

「Who is harmless?」 Dalibor didn't ask.

"Because I followed my intuition. I'm not proud of it, but I've never been off before"

"Is that so"

"That's right. Let's go back to the royal capital. I'll be busy from now on. After all, I'm going to set up a branch of Hameln in the royal capital that I couldn't advance to until now. Benjamin will surely be pleased"

"Because you can leave Balue alone?"

"Balue? Ah, that person"

Victor's words were as if Balue was already a person of the past.

"It's sad to send a thug to me"

Sadly, Victor mutters while looking at the flowers. The place where the flowers are in full bloom isn't the earth. If you look closely, you'll see the flowers growing from corpses. Dozens of corpses were rolling around Victor and Dalibor. And countless flowers were in full bloom from the corpses.

-----------------------------------------------

"Where did you go? I was waiting"

Yuu welcomes Nina back in a room at the inn.

"I'm sorry. I was sightseeing in the royal capital for a while"

"So you've used up the pocket money I gave, right?"

"Eh? That, That is, ehehe~"

Yuu looks at Nina, who laughs and becomes a fool, with stunned eyes.

"......I've used it up"

Lena confidently tells Nina and Marifa with no bad feeling.

"What did you spend that much money on?"

"......Souvenirs for those who are indebted"

"Le, Lena!?"

Marifa and Nina are surprised at Lena's common-sense remarks that they never thought she would.

"......Excuse me"

"I'm sorry"

"It's natural to be surprised when you think about what you do normally"

"Is Lena the only one who did it properly?"

Marifa feels regretful at Yuu's words. Lena looks into it from below. Lena's whorl hair spins around to provoke Marifa.

"Then I'll buy souvenirs for the people who care for me, so I'll finish it by the end of today"

"I'm sure you'll buy for the children too. Ah, why are you hitting me?"

Yuu lightly pokes Nina's head with a grin, who buys souvenirs like a mountain for the children in orphanages and the island.

"Don't talk too much"

"When you're done shopping, you're going sightseeing in the royal capital, right?"

"No"

Nina has a bad feeling for those words.

"Rejoice, when you're done, I'll train you to death in the 『Devil's Prison』"

"Eh～!?"

"......Where you want it"

"I will meet your expectations"

Nina, who intended to play to her heart's content in the royal capital, asks Yuu, trembling.

"How much is it?"

"I think it's about 40 days"

"Gyahuh"

Marifa and Lena panicked at Nina, who had fallen down from so much shock.

-------------------------------------------

"Wh......at? What is this!!"

Balue reveals anger in a room in his mansion.

"Why are you the only ones!! What happened to Bugsy? What about the leaders of each clan? What about my soldiers and mercenaries? Where are they!! Answer me!!"

Too angry, Balue flips the table.

"Balue-sama, please stop your anger"

"I can't get angry about this!! Didn't you go to Bugsy´s mansion!!"

The butler shrinks his body because of Balue.

"Y, Yes, I went to Bugsy-sama´s mansion......"

"Why doesn't he show up here!!"

"He was absent"

"Absent? What is that stupid son doing! Then there were others. I don't know if I have to tell you that!"

"Th......There was none"

"So that――there was no one?"

The butler who shakes his body begins to realize that something is wrong with Balue.

"Bugsy-sama, the executives and others! Lawrence's people weren't there!!"

The butler cried out with a pale face.

"n.o.body......? No one......?"

"Yes......I couldn't find anyone."

"I, Idiot. How many people do you think there are....... Y......You went to the Adventurer's Guild? What happened to the clan leaders?"

"Wasn't it Balue-sama's instructions?"

"What are you saying? Can you explain to me!"

"Haa! I'm sorry. The adventurers are heading for Comer City now"

"Comer......? Why? Why are they heading for Comer?"

"I thought it was Balue-sama's instruction"

"I don't know! I didn't give such an instruction!! Call them back quickly!!"

"It's been a few days since they left the royal capital. As you know, adventurers don't have communication magic tools, so even if we chase after them from now on, we won't catch up. Will it be after the arrival at Comer?"

The tiredness burst out and Balue sat down on the sofa so that it would collapse.

"Wh......What happened to my soldiers and mercenaries?"

Balue asks the last remaining servant.

"I got in touch"

"O......Ooh. Is that so! Well done!! So why aren't they here?"

"It seems that those above the captain rank disappeared, so they cant move"

"I don't understand the meaning. Thy are――"

"Ma, Master!!"

At that time, one of the maids jumped into the room.

"What is it, you´re noisy! You´re in front of Balue-sama"

"B, But. O......On the fence! A......Anyway, please take a look!! No!! You can see it from here!!"

In a hurry of an unusual maid, Balue stands up from the sofa and heads for the window. The room where Balue is located is on the second floor of the mansion. From here, he can look down on the fence through the window.

"Hii......"

As soon as he looked over the wall from the window, Balue screamed. He wondered when it had been placed on the wall as heads were lined up neatly.

"Wh......Who did that!"

"Wa, Wait. I remember that face. He was a mercenary captain"

"That's Balue-sama's private army. I've talked about it"

The heads lined up on the fence were more than the captains of Balue´s private soldiers and mercenaries.

The deep pale Balue shouts at the butler and his servants.

"I......I don't care who it is! I'm willing to pay him! Hire someone who is good at it!! So, kill Sa, Satou as soon as possible!! What are you doing! Go quickly!!"

"Y, Yes!"

From this day, Balue shuts himself up in the room as if he was frightened of something. However, only the payment of compensation to Yuu had to be done with his own hands and feet and many people witnessed him heading to the Adventurer's Guild surrounded by escorts.
