Ch.223Chapter 223 – Valley of Terror (6)

“Ugh…”

As I raised my body, clutching my foggy head that felt like it was filled with smoke, the scene before my eyes was quite a spectacle.

“Heh…”

– Twitch, twitch…

The members I’d been with for the past few days were all collapsed on the floor, their bodies twitching.

What on earth happened?

Were we attacked?

“Urgh…”

“Good grief.”

While thinking this and looking around in a daze, I was startled by a twitching sensation beside me and turned my gaze.

“N-no more…”

– Trembling…

“….???”

Only then did I notice the Scourer leader next to me, covered with a blanket, completely naked and convulsing sporadically. I tilted my head with a completely bewildered expression.

‘…What happened?’

I tried to recall my memories, but my throbbing headache made it difficult to think clearly.

I remember being in the room adjusting my disguise, but then…

“Ah.”

As I racked my brain, cold sweat suddenly began to flow.

Right, while adjusting my disguise, members broke through the security system by brute force and caught me in my male form.

And after that…

‘I was so nervous that I drank the water in front of me.’

When my thoughts reached that point, I turned my gaze to the desk a little distance away, and only then could I understand what had happened.

‘…It wasn’t water.’

What I drank wasn’t water, but strong whiskey.

Since I had borrowed the quarters used by the members, they must have left their alcohol out, and it seems I drank it and blacked out.

‘The question is what happened during that time…’

– Rustle…

As I was scratching my head, wondering what had happened during that deleted time.

“A-Adler… sir.”

The leader who had been twitching beside me quietly raised her head and began to mutter in a low voice.

“I-I’m sorry for… being cheeky…”

“……?”

“I won’t fight back again… so please stop thrusting…”

What does she mean by thrusting?

Among these women who are all strong, I’d be the one getting taken by the strongest leader, not the other way around.

“I-I’ll beg like this…”

But for some reason, the leader had already exposed her abdomen with its clearly defined 11-pack abs and was taking a submissive posture like a dog.

“I understand, so p-please put some clothes on.”

“…But earlier you said a female should stay naked like a female.”

“Haah…”

“Hup.”

In this situation, my headache that had started to subside began to flare up again, and I sighed deeply and covered her with the blanket beside me.

“”……….””

“…Huh.”

Suddenly feeling a presence beside me, I turned my gaze to find an even more spectacular scene.

Not only the members who had collapsed on the floor earlier, but all the executives and members of the Scourer unit were kneeling before me with flushed faces.

What’s this about now?

“Y-you defeated the boss…”

“T-the leader position goes to the strongest person…”

“You’re the boss now…”

As I quietly tilted my head, the member at the front with disheveled hair and another with teeth marks on her neck and shoulder spoke in timid voices.

“This is ridiculous.”

Did I really subdue all these women in a drunken state and become their boss?

Is this really happening?

“Um… so…”

Still unable to distinguish whether this was a dream or reality, I scratched my head for a while, then looked at the members gathered around and opened my mouth.

“If I’m the boss… you’ll follow my orders…?”

“Of course.”

“Good, then…”

Although I still couldn’t fully accept the situation, if this wasn’t a dream but reality, it was an excellent opportunity.

“The Scourer unit is disbanded as of today.”

As I whispered in a low voice with that thought, the atmosphere instantly began to grow cold.

“What did you just say?”

“Disbanded…?”

“That can’t happen…”

As the members who weren’t collapsed on the floor began to mutter with chilling expressions, my spine also grew cold.

“Hey.”

“…Heuk.”

“Say something. You’re the leader.”

In that situation, I poked the stomach of the leader who was still covered with a blanket in a dog posture and made that request, but.

“Fuck them all… too…”

“This is insane.”

I could only grab my head at that abnormal response.

‘How am I supposed to handle them all, damn it.’

Maybe in a drunken state, but now I’m completely sober.

If I were to face those muscular delinquent women in this state, I would 100% die from overexertion.

“Then… I have no choice.”

But as requested by the Pinkerton Detective Agency, I must neutralize this organization.

In that case, there’s only one option left.

“Everyone, pack your bags.”

“”………?””

“We’re all emigrating to England today.”

I’ll just include all of these people in Professor Moriarty’s forces.

It’s what you’d call dumping the problem on someone else.

‘I’m sorry, Professor.’

But this will all be blood and flesh for your kingdom, so please understand.

[You have completed the quest.]

[Raise the organization’s threat level to maximum.]

[It was one of the most difficult missions, but you managed to do it?]

“…Oh.”

After leaving the members who had started packing busily, I stepped out into the yard to catch my breath, and System-yang’s message appeared before my eyes.

[There’s really not much time left for you to see me.]

“…Are you perhaps sad about that?”

[Do you want to be abandoned right before clearing? Don’t push it.]

I whispered with a subtle smile to her(?), but an immediate cold response came back.

[You were just a tool to fill plot holes from the beginning.]

“Gasp.”

[I wouldn’t care if you disappeared now.]

But unlike that cold response, the last words were written quite small.

– Twirl…

And, as if she noticed it herself, System-yang quietly turned the window away.

[Well, anyway… that’s that.]

“…….?”

[Since you cleared an exceptionally difficult mission, I’ll give you a reward.]

But in that state, System-yang who started sending messages from behind suddenly made an unexpected offer.

“A reward… you say?”

[Why, don’t you want it?]

“No… I’m just curious why you’re giving me a reward at this timing when there are still some quests left.”

Because of this, I tilted my head with a puzzled expression.

“…Could it be that you’re taking care of me because it’s the last time?”

With a doubtful expression, I asked that question and started gently scratching the system window with my finger.

[…Tell me what reward you want.]

“Huh, is it really true?”

[I said tell me.]

Surprisingly, System-yang didn’t deny it and started urging me with bold text.

“Hmm… then…”

Well, considering it wasn’t a bad opportunity, I decided to throw out the wish I’d been hoping for all along.

“Please give me a medicine that can extend lifespan.”

[That’s not possible.]

“Something good enough that even someone on their deathbed could live comfortably for about 100 years.”

[I said it’s not possible.]

Of course, System-yang refused with a firm tone, but.

“Even if you add the condition that it won’t work on me?”

[That’s…]

“Then I think there shouldn’t be any problem.”

At my continued words, she seemed to ponder for a moment.

[What are you going to use it for?]

Finally, as if almost giving in, she asked that question.

“About that…”

Of course, System-yang was the only being to whom I could reveal my entire plan, so I told my thoughts truthfully without holding back.

[Idiot.]

Then System-yang left just that one word and disappeared from my sight.

“Really a tsundere.”

But not before placing a white pill in my hand.

– Rustle…

So after smiling for a moment, I carefully put it in my pocket.

“Is it all over now?”

“…What on earth did you do in there?”

Seeing Lupin approaching with a bright expression waving her hand from afar, and Watson making a disgusted face, I quietly smiled.

“Nothing much.”

“No, I could hear all kinds of moaning sounds? And some women came to me saying their stomachs hurt…”

“Well then, let’s get moving.”

It was time to head towards the final part of the plan.

“Adler, where are you going?”

“Huh?”

“You need to come with me to Giam Castle. If you don’t, it’s a breach of contract.”

Of course, for that to happen.

“For that, we’d need to escape from here first, wouldn’t we?”

“Huh?”

We’d have to shake off the women who were already catching up to us, making the mana they had injected into my body boil.

A few days later, at the Diogenes Club in London.

“…Ha.”

As usual, Microny Holmes, sprawled on the sofa there, reading a newspaper with a bored expression, broke the club’s rule of silence for the second time and began to mutter.

“Look at this…”

In her eyes was reflected a letter that had just been delivered to her, accompanied by an address presumed to be the sender’s hideout.

[Play with me.]

– Your vampire.

Judging by the postscript and the small vampire doodle next to it, it was very clear who had sent it.

“…She’s desperately asking to be caught.”
