by fnovelpia“I want you to do a little work.”
Please take care of it.
Out of Hysterion came an aggressive doctor.
The moment I heard those words, one corner of my mouth went up arbitrarily. Because I can finally bully the guy who bullied my student.
Besides, if Hysterion comes out, he will take care of everything I do.
This is exactly what I wanted.
I asked back right away.
“Can I come back after killing the duke?”
“Oh, no. That’s not it. I found a place where they were illegally tampering with things. I want you to destroy that place yourself.”
“… … Wasn’t it killing him?”
If so, it’s disappointing.
The duke has already crossed the line.
However, Hysterion’s request is nothing more than a chore to destroy an illegal business.
If I don’t kill him now, I don’t know what the Duke will do next, and it will be difficult to quell my anger right now.
How should I accept this?
“Huh. This alone is a big deal, but how can you look so angry… .”
“Wouldn’t it be better to kill the duke and put an end to it? Why do you go through the trouble of tearing off your limbs instead of your neck?”
“Isn’t it obvious? The duke is not someone you can kill if you want to. The power he has developed may be stronger than the entire training camp.”
“I can handle that much.”
“Okay. It’s hard for even you to deal with something like that… … Hmm?”
“Didn’t I tell you that last time? My power is thousands of times what you imagine.”
“You said hundreds of times… .”
“Anyway. Don’t think there’s anyone in Edeline who can compete with me. This is a word that does not appear in gods with heavy hips.”
“Godhood? Then you too have the qualifications.”
“Do you know about case?”
“Because I occasionally trade tower weapons, I studied a lot. We all know that those with status are the highest climbers.”
“Then you know that I am not just saying that I will kill the duke.”
“… … … What on earth are you?”
“Think about it yourself.”
“… okay. I know you are a strong being. But you can’t kill the duke.”
“Why?”
Hysterion explained to me, with an uncomfortable look on his face, why I should not kill the Duke.
“The duke is a key figure in the country. Although he is doing a lot of illegal things, on the contrary, he is a person who has greatly developed the kingdom. Out of his reach-”
“I wish you could just tell me the main points.”
“… If the duke disappears, state affairs become paralyzed. I also have a hard time keeping up with it.”
“So you’re saying you’re going to rip off the limbs instead of the neck? I don’t care if the kingdom falls. Is there any reason for you to care about this kingdom?”
Isabelle prophesied.
The Kingdom of Leonis will be destroyed.
Even if it happens tomorrow, it doesn’t really matter to me.
I threw away everything in my past life, including the feelings of the kingdom.
But it wasn’t hysterion.
“I understand how you feel. I feel like I want to kill the Duke right now… Could you please consider my position a little? There is a problem with the commercial sector, so I need some time to leave the kingdom.”
“In the end, is money important? I prioritize the safety of my students over money.”
“Yes. I know how you feel. As someone raising Andro, how could I not know? However, Venus and the training center located in the kingdom will also be hit. This is no good for you either. If you lose your foundation, won’t it be difficult for both of you in the future?”
“… … … .”
“Besides, I’m not telling you not to kill the duke. It just takes some time.”
“Time? How much do you need?”
“About 3-4 months at the earliest. After that, I can take care of it somehow.”
“… Good luck.”
“Didn’t you say you would help me once before? I’m begging you to please. Please be patient.”
In the end, I was persuaded.
I nodded with a sigh.
“… … … good. However, if the duke does something like this again, I won’t tolerate it no matter what happens.”
“That’s enough. I will do my best to prevent such a situation.”
“Tell me your plan.”
“Let me explain it as concisely as possible.”
Hysterion’s plan, as revealed later, is as follows.
All-out war is impossible.
By tearing off the duke’s illegal limbs and inducing a secret fight, he reduces his power and solves the problem of Venus and Goliath, who are concentrated in the kingdom.
At this time, it is carried out over a period of at least 3 to 4 months to resolve various intertwined issues such as commercial rights and interests and to be able to leave the kingdom at any time.
It may sound easy, but it would be quite difficult for Hysterion.
So you really need my help.
I don’t like it, but for my student’s sake, I have no choice but to endure it one last time.
“So what you have to do is-”
Hysterion, with a solemn expression, told him what to do to keep the duke in check.
There are smuggling factories throughout the kingdom, a slave business carried out secretly through agreements with guilds, and even a secret facility where children are kidnapped and brainwashed.
There was more work done by the duke than expected.
Since there was no solid evidence and it was only speculation, it seemed like the duke could withdraw his hand whenever he wanted.
“Then wouldn’t it be useless to attack?”
“The place I told you about is the Duke’s largest place of business. Even if the crime cannot be revealed, it will be a huge blow to the duke family. You can literally think of it as tearing off each limb one by one.”
“… It’s a nuisance. I have to make them do it.”
I wouldn’t know if it meant killing the duke.
These chores are just annoying.
So, I decided to use Erica, Lionel, and Rauf.
“Guys? Are there any subordinates?”
“He’s a guy with solid skills, so you don’t have to worry. The knight who saved Ronica yesterday is one of them.”
He’s not a subordinate, but… .
Lauf, who is delighted with the duke’s revenge, will also gladly accept it.
He is a more capable worker than his subordinates.
“Hmm… I understand. I trust you.”
Afterwards, Hysterion gave him a book containing the location of the duke’s business operations, atrocities, things to do, precautions, etc.
As if the research had already been completed, the book included a list of key people in each business and even their lifestyle patterns.
Pretty detailed information.
“That’s detailed. Did Venus find out?”
“For the most part, I used the assassination guild to learn about the character’s life and weaknesses. If you only ask for information on people, they will grant it cheaply.”
“It’s definitely a good collection of information for assassination.”
Thanks to this, it became easier to prepare and eat.
If I just give them this information book and tell them to deal with it, they will do it well.
“With this, the business is all over. If you have time, would you like to talk about something else?”
“Not necessary. Because I have to train.”
“It’s unfortunate, but I understand.”
The conversation is over.
And then he went out carrying the entire bowl of refreshments on the table.
*
Venus Training Center.
Rowan.
Erica.
Lionel.
Lauf.
We gathered together the regular members who met every morning, ate snacks, threw away information books, and relayed the content of our conversation with Hysterion.
The Duke attacked Ronica.
I’ll rip off his limbs.
You guys take care of it.
The division of duties also went smoothly.
As there was a business in the east, it was decided to handle Erica’s bankruptcy. Erica and Lionel were sent to the relatively safe factory, and Rauf was sent to the place with strong power.
I’ll probably be separated from them for a week or two.
“Hehe… I am finally free from this training. Besides, this is my specialty. What these guys are doing is just like my Rosetta days.”
“Shut up. If you don’t have the skills, at least speak properly to your owners.”
“Ha. This guy? How good is your subject?”
“Win and say it.”
It’s unsettling to see Erica and Lionel bickering… How will you do it well?
Because their skills are real.
“I will break the pot and come back.”
Lauf goes without saying. They say there is a strong military force deployed where he goes, but Rauf will break him to his core.
Look at me.
Flashing red eyes.
After the assassination of Ronika, I am very upset.
It’s enough to create chaos and take out the Duke’s soul.
So we finished the training and dispersed after a little discussion around the time the sun rose in the morning.
To cut down on the duke’s power.
“It’s comfortable as expected.”
What is a slave?
No, it’s about cooperation.
Instead of doing my own thing… No, because we share the burden.
You may have to practice alone for a while, but it is still better than doing the troublesome work yourself.
In the future, we will need to increase our cooperation further.
*
[The number of slaves has increased.]
[It is a cooperative relationship. I hope you don’t ignore their hard work.]
[For something like that, it looks very comfortable… ]
The day after everyone dispersed.
It’s been a while since I slept with my student, and without fail, Atrot popped out.
This time, he crosses his legs on the ice temple throne and looks down at me arrogantly, but unlike before, he doesn’t seem to be driving me out.
I continued the conversation with the guy.
[Are you keeping an eye on me again?]
[It’s just more fun to watch the nonsense of lowly things than to just sit around here. More than that, I really learned my ice flower skills. Of course, it seems like he can’t even stand up.]
[Ice flower? Is it your ice skills? It doesn’t suit a flower at all.]
[Because I transformed it. The old technology that only pursued splendor no longer exists. You learned such a powerful martial art from me, so you may know it as an honor.]
Still speaking arbitrarily.
I guess I’m used to it now.
However, while he was watching me, he seemed to be dissatisfied and started nagging me.
[But even though you learned such a great skill, you couldn’t use it properly. I knew it would be like that, but it was still terrible.]
[…] … … .]
This cannot be refuted.
All you have to do is make your whole body cold and pull out a piece of ice.
I listened quietly.
[Every time you use a skill, you cut off part of the mana circuit and connect a new one. It’s hard to believe that you have the will to learn this skill by doing such a risky thing, but it’s base. Do you really think you can do it?]
[…] … … .]
[listen carefully. That technique doesn’t just work by touching the mana circuit. What are you going to do when your body isn’t ready?]
[…] … … .]
[At least try it with your whole body frozen. It will be much easier. You can even try the elixir of the 10,000-year-old snow mountain. Of course, if you have the confidence to endure it.]
[…] … … .]
[If you can’t decide, kneel down and pray to me. Then wouldn’t it be possible for me to inject chills myself? Pahaha!!]
this guy… .
Was there this much talk?
I wonder if this is nagging or advice. I feel like my ears are bleeding.
It’s not even over yet.
He also complained about the duke.
[How can you be so accepting? If it were me, the dukedom would have already been erased from the map. Do you know how frustrating it was for me to watch?]
[If you had seen it, you would have known. If the kingdom is defeated right away, it will also have ramifications for my disciples and forces.]
[Shut up. A mean thing! That kind of stuff is none of my business. I mean, kill that annoying guy!!]
What is it?
It seems like he has taken advantage of me and is angry as if it was his own business.
[I don’t think that’s what you, the watcher, should say… .]
[something mean. When this body gives advice, ‘I understand well.’ How dare you talk back when kneeling down is not enough?]
[…] … … .]
Artrot’s conversation continued for a long time.
They say they don’t like the Duke.
They’re telling me not to act like I’m frustrated.
Why do you treat bones so well?
Just tell me to reveal your identity to your disciple.
Maybe it was because it had been such a long time since I came, but I blurted out all the words I had been holding inside.
When you think about it… .
Did you usually have no one to talk to?
I suddenly feel sorry for you.
This guy is my enemy.
Did he sense that feeling? Atrot said something incomprehensible.
[You mean thing. What are those unpleasant eyes?]
[…] a look? You won’t be able to see me, right?]
I have no form now.
When I enter a dream, I can see the other person, but the other person cannot see me.
In other words, what you just said would be a contradiction.
[Hehe. What do you think of me? Each case also has a shape. Recently, I have been studying how to feel the status of others while looking at you.]
But no.
The guy didn’t just keep watch.
While I was learning the game, he practiced checking my game.
[Your character looks really funny. If I carve this feeling, it would look like this.]
Damn it!!
When Atrot stretched out his hand, a huge ice sculpture was created.
one.
Ronica.
and me.
My circle that can cut anything… .
No, it is my wish that must be kept.
That area floated above Ronica’s head in the form of a large ring, and I, the young phantom beast, was lifted up by it and looked into its eyes.
An ice sculpture that goes beyond the realm of art.
It was quite beautiful.
Another side of Artrot. This guy must have a great talent for sculpture.
… It’s a statue that your student will be happy to see.
[Isn’t it funny? You, who climbed the tower alone and were not afraid of death, were embarrassed by a child and did everything you could to protect him.]
[…] Artlot.]
[hmm? What. What a lowly thing calls my name in vain. Do you want to die?]
[Can you help me?]
[What? Want help? I? What about you, my lowly bastard? You want me to help you??]
[…] It was difficult to find the four statues just now twice. I thought my student would like that ice sculpture.]
[Well, it’s big. Puhaha!! It’s obvious. There is nothing in this world that I can’t do. The field of art is also very simple to me. but… why me? Why should I help someone like you?]
[I just brought this up. If you don’t like it, that’s fine.]
[haha… Get down on your knees and pray. Then I will try to think positively.]
[I understand this as rejection.]
[Tsk. It’s bland.]
The cheerful-looking Art Trot was a little annoying, but I tolerated it for now.
Because I was the one who said something that didn’t make sense.
Phew… .
When only my disciples are involved, my judgment continues to become clouded.
I realize it again.
I make fun of Rauf and say he loses his temper, but it’s not my place to tell anyone.
[You mean thing. Let me give you some advice. If that doesn’t work, try stroking your student about 100 times a day. It’s so good I’ll die.]
[…] … … That’s burdensome.]
[What I mean is, express yourself more. Look at yesterday too. Didn’t he try to spy on you? It’s because you treat me like a child and can’t trust me.]
Is it because it feels good?
This is unexpected advice.
Who would have thought that such an arrogant Atrot would give such advice.
He expressed his honest feelings.
[It’s impossible for such a sound to come out of your mouth, when you didn’t say anything until the spirit that took care of you died. Heaven and earth are a surprise.]
[…] What are you looking at me for?! Unlike you, I am a precious being. It means that my position is different from yours!!]
The guy got angry.
Although his personality was just that, he seemed to have a good sense of people around him.
or not… That’s how it changed.
Anyway, a third party was watching my every move and telling me what he was thinking.
There was nothing bad about it.
It’s just a matter of pride to accept.
Instead of treating him like a child, express your feelings to your student so they don’t worry… .
Will my disciple be happy about that?
[That advice… Listen carefully.]
[You mean thing. If you are grateful, quickly get down on your knees and worship me.]
[How many times is that guy going to kneel?]
But just a moment of advice.
He started provoking me again and nagging me all kinds of things.
[Of course, until you kneel! Do you know how big a difference there is between you and me? Unlike you, this body has done everything since birth-]
brag about yourself.
And nagging.
I’m becoming more and more disoriented.
In the end, I had to ignore what he said until I woke up.
