Episode 19. Operation to exterminate the gangster (3)
“Tina, Iris.”
“Yes?”
“Yes, Master.”
“Do you remember the man with the scar that talked to me a moment ago?”
I asked the two of them while walking down the long hallway of the palace.
“Remember!”
“Yes, I remember.”
“His name is Line Lecter. From now on, you should use the teleport to track down Marquis Lecter. Watch his every move, what he does and who he meets. Maria and I will go to Men’s. If anything, forward to the scroll—”
“Are you going with Maria again? Even when she dealt with Peremus, she went with Maria.”
I was about to hand over the delivery scroll, but Tina showed regret.
What is the meaning of going with me? Rather, why don’t you know that you may have to suffer more.
…… Come to think of it, there’s never been a case where I didn’t step out. I always found myself playing a crucial part in resolving the problem.
Awesome! If this is the case, my plan to get attached to the warriors…… !
“…… Is it. Then this time Tina is with me—”
“No!”
This time Maria raised her voice and refused. Then Tina looked at Maria and argued.
“No, why! You went with your master before! Don’t monopolize, yield!”
Tina and Maria stop, face each other, and tell them to yield. I don’t have time for this.
“Then decide on a duel! Last time, Master granted your wish in a duel. I’m still angry about losing before?”
“Okay. One more stick this time! The one who loses will go with Iris without saying anything!”
“Huh? Me? Me, me too, first with Master—”
“Okay! It was what I wished for!”
You don’t have time for that?
Do you know how important the work we are about to do now is?
When Iris defeated Tina and wished for her hug, Tina and Maria proceeded to sparring, and Tina was the one who won the sparring. Having lost to Tina, Maria felt resentment to the point of crying.
And as the winner, Tina got her wish ticket, but she hasn’t used it yet.
Tina said that she wanted to write when it was important with a meaningful smile, so she was in a state of being passed on for now.
But when I tripped over it, the story had no choice but to stretch.
“Master! Are you okay?”
“No.”
“Yes?”
“Don’t be foolish. We are risking our lives for this right now. If you’re going to continue behaving like that, go back to the Empire.”
“…… Master seems to be joking. I’m serious.”
Tina said with a rare hint of laughter. You’re also really useless.
“Okay then. I will write a wish.”
“What?”
“Originally, I was going to use it after it was a bit bigger. There will be another chance to get a wish. So, isn’t Maria not complaining too?”
“Okay… ….”
Maria pursed her lips in open expression of her displeasure, but she said nothing. Only then did Tina smile as brightly as she did before.
“Let’s go, Master!”
“Then Iris and Maria will ask you to track down and monitor Marquis Lecter. If you encounter demons, do not hesitate and kill them.”
“Okay.”
“… All right. But may I suggest something?”
“This story is over. What is your suggestion?”
“From now on, how about the one who won the Dalian go with Master? If only Master agreed, the children would agree.”
“I will think about it and decide later.”
I answered vaguely.
If I had to divide the personnel to carry out the operation like that, I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
The warriors were still very immature mentally.
Tina tends to act recklessly and recklessly, while Maria tends to act hot-tempered when upset.
That’s why Iris, who showed a more mature side in her own way, was mixed in and sent. Because she thought she might be able to control Tina or her Maria’s bad tendencies.
“For now, we will proceed as it is.”
“Okay~! Tina-sama is leaving! Everyone, wash your neck and wait!”
Do you know what it means to wash your neck and wait? ….
It’s okay, so don’t just make an accident. Please.

From noble mtl dot com
The Marquis of Rector.
He flew in at once by teleporting at a high cost and hurriedly moved to the annex of the mansion.
“Wow, are you here? Marquis.”
Ignoring the butler and the maids who greeted him, he strode forward. I entered the annex, took the unextinguished lamp at the entrance, and lit a match inside.
I pick it up and go straight down to the basement.
There is no window, so it is a dark space where even sunlight does not enter.
I couldn’t shake the feeling of entering the abyss by myself every time I stepped on the stairs due to the ferocious energy felt underground. Even though he broke out in a cold sweat, he did not stop his steps.
“Hey! Is there?!”
Knock!
Without hesitation, I opened the wooden door that I could only face after going down all the stairs. Then a rotting stench came out of his nose.
“…… I must have told you to knock before coming in?”
There stood a black-haired woman wearing a black mask with no holes. Her long strands of hair reached her floor, but she never got dirty.
Her outfit was tightly wrapped in a robe, as if to completely obliterate her skin, so it was not easy to see what kind of body she had.
“That’s not important right now! It looks like the Empire sent a full-fledged demon subjugation unit!”
“I think the number of people is too small to be called a unit. After all, they are not even an army.”
The mouth behind the mask rattles.
She had already identified the faces of the humans she had brainwashed with her ‘eyes’ and ‘ears’. Because of Harbito’s order, he had already decided how to respond.
‘Using humans to kill humans… …. Anyway, Habito-sama also comes up with interesting ideas.’
A woman covering her face with a mask, Kyo-Kyo smiled sullenly, raising the corners of her mouth.
“So what are you going to do?! If you go on like this, everything will be exposed! Do you know how I felt when I threw Count Forna away?”
“Kick Kick! Don’t talk like bullsh*t. You were relieved that you lived. You know I didn’t feel the slightest bit of guilt, right?”
“That’s what you—”
“What? You’re not going to say something like an idiot that you’ve been threatened now? It must be because of me that your status rose and you made a lot of money?”
‘This damn demon…… !’
Lecter clenched his fists.
In her mind, she wanted to crush her laid-back demonic attitude, but he was aware that she was no match for her. Lecter manages to calm her anger and restore her to her senses.
“After all…… We need to take action to drive them out right now. I want you to help me.”
A desperate voice.
Kyokyo knew he was still worth taking advantage of, but he didn’t like his way of taking advantage of him.
“Do I have a reason to do that? I honestly don’t care if you die or not. Even if you die, your son will be there too. Ah~ Come to think of it, if this place is related to the demons, they are going to wipe out the entire family, right?”
He lost his temper when he saw Kyokyo talking slyly. He shouted as he grabbed Rob by the collar.
“No matter how much you touch my son, I will not forgive you!”
Kyo-Kyo burst into laughter when she saw Lecter raging about her family story.
“Puha! You? Me? How?”
Seeing her smile, she grabbed her hand so hard that it trembled.
“That doesn’t stop me from breathing. How about doing some exercise? Can you masturbate with that much grip?”
She let go of her hand, thinking of her own position, where she had no choice but to put up with her insulting comments.
Her pride was hurt, but she couldn’t help it. He understood better than anyone else that as long as the opponent was a demon, there was nothing he could do.
“You are angry because of your child… …. I’m sure Count Forna must have felt the same way. Is not it?”
“…… Shut up.”
“Well, aside from that. Stella-sama will be here soon.”
“Stella?”
“Stella Forna. The daughter of the Countess you abandoned.”
Kyokyo said in a laughing voice. At her words, Lecter’s mind was paralyzed, with a shock as if he had hit her on the head with his hammer.
“What?!”
“Please try not to die to our deputy corps commander. Because you are still useful Oh, of course I’ll try to talk. Worth using. But if you still don’t listen, what can you do? Oh, but don’t be too sad. If you die, I will put it to good use.”
“Don’t talk bullsh*t! Vice-captain, four years……. Explain what you mean right away! I ordered you to be deported because you said you shouldn’t kill me…… !”
“If you look at it this way, humans are really naive. Being faithful to one’s desires more than anyone else and capable of doing evil without hesitation.”
“I only believe what you say—!”
“Shh. Stop talking now It seems like those b*tches came here.”
Kyokyo said, covering his mouth with the palm of her hand. Through the eyes of the attendants, she noticed that Iris and Maria had come after her.
“What?”
“The Beastman who withstood the power of Mr. Peremus, who was missing his magic, and the Elfra with mana comparable to that of the Spirit King… ….”
Laughter leaked from Kyo-Kyo’s mask as she re-entered their information into her head.
“Cook-Cook. How shall I use it?”
* * *
“It’s more of an ordinary business than I thought.”
A huge three-story building.
The company was built by Marquis Lecter and the nobles under him, and it was so large that it was currently in charge of one of the kingdom’s economies.
The location was in Aium, the capital of the kingdom.
“On the surface, it seems so.”
Perhaps there is no problem with this association itself. If there’s a problem, it must be with humans who can’t get out of the demon’s power.
“Let’s go in first.”
“Welcome! What did you visit the store for?”
As soon as I entered the store building, the clerk at the counter greeted me with a smile.
“I came to see some things.”
“…… Welcome. This is where you can find all the things you can buy in Aium Kingdom. It is distributed here and goes out to the market.”
It seemed like it was not okay for me to speak casually, but I could see that I put up with it as a guest.
“Then let’s look around for a bit.”
“Yes.”
We carefully looked around the items on display. Tina tilts her head from side to side as she gently touches things.
“Some of the stuff here is really poor quality, and some are really good.”
It was a cunning strategy to offer luxury products to those who were higher than their status, and cheap products to those who were not, not according to money.
While browsing her stuff, Tina turned her head when she saw the raucous customers.
“Wow, you look so pretty.”
“I have to buy this.”
I see customers smiling and taking away their goods. Tina scrambled to pick up the same item the customer had taken.
“Master, this… …. Is it just a shiny stone? It looks pretty, but…… Have you been decorating stones lately?”
“…… Maybe it was brainwashed.”
Maybe the situation is much more serious than I thought.
You can tell just by looking at this store that it is not just one or two customers. In other words, it was highly likely that most of the citizens of the Aium Kingdom had been brainwashed.
“First of all, you need to know what is the medium.”
There was a mention of the medium part in the game as well.
I don’t know if that’s correct, but I’ll have to get it first.
