[WN] Emperor's Seventh Son : 9 - 10 Part 2

9-10 Part 2

Steal the Boss's Head and the Treasure: The Shovel-Wielding Punisher

- Deterioration -

Translator : PolterGlast

Setting aside Sigrun's ridiculous aftermath story, rewinding time a little, I had also completed my infiltration of the boss's mansion. Unlike over there, there are innocent servants on this side. Therefore, I couldn't burn it down.

First, not the boss's head, but I'll steal the organization's money from the treasury. Though you could say it was just a task of throwing treasures indifferently into the underground cavity I made at the bottom of the treasury.

When I first saw this, what I felt was not surprise, but rather a cold emotion. Because the suffering of beastmen had turned into gold bars, bundled gold coins, platinum, diamonds, and other rare gems, displaying an eerie shine.

「It doesn't balance out... To think the life of a kidnapped beastman is exchanged for such a trivial thing...」

As expected of doing a filthy business. Unlike the warehouse of the Hyamar Company, only items with high conversion efficiency were lying around.

Especially, there are many gold coins. Perhaps used for payments, they are neatly packed. I snatched them all up. I made the sinful organization's funds zero.

It was quite heavy labor, but anger saying let such things disappear drove me. Eventually, throwing everything underground, I repaired the hollowed-out floor to its original state using the Scoop LV 1's restoration ability.

No one would think that the stolen items are sleeping right under the crime scene. Once leveled by the Scoop and traces perfectly erased, I stood up, destroyed the treasury lock from the inside, and went out.

By the way, since Aneue laughed heartily at my fake mustache disguise before, this time I pulled the robe over my head and wore a mask hiding my mouth and nose.

「So to speak, a castle that never sleeps, huh.」

Countless lamps lined the mansion hallway today too, brightly illuminating the path. After seeing that treasure, it looks like what's burning inside the lamps isn't oil, but human misery itself serving as fuel and smoldering.

I took the money. As the saying goes, 'When the money runs out, the relationship runs out.' The non-payment of rewards will likely destroy the bond between these villains. The fact that the rewards go unpaid will likely destroy the bond between these villains.

Furthermore, if I eliminate the boss, the core of the organization, here, the human trafficking organization [Wind of Yesterday] will collapse. The ideal scenario is for paranoia to trigger internal strife, causing them to repeatedly fracture and eventually fall into ruin.

Because as long as there is demand, these guys won't disappear...

「Just now, something... no, my imagination? There's no way anyone would attack here, right.」

Except for the lights, slipping through the lax security net, I proceeded straight to the boss's bedroom. The location is the center of the 3rd floor. Using the AGI (Agility) 10 times that of a normal person cultivated until today, I can hide in an instant and run through in an instant too.

Jumping from blind spot to blind spot as if sliding, I eventually reached the destination. The boss's room. Destroying the lock soundlessly with the Scoop, I stormed inside at once.

「Nn...? You, who are you...」

「So you were awake? Well, that works out perfectly. If you call for help, I kill you. But before that, I'm going to have you grant me a small request.」

A shabby man hard to distinguish from a regular civilian. Seeing him clad in silk nightclothes felt more comical than terrifying. His appearance was less like a boss of criminals and more like an ordinary middle-aged man you could find anywhere.

「Some hitman from somewhere? How much did you get? I'll pay you three times that; join my side. Getting through the outside security net, you're quite something.」

Saying that, he threw a bundle of gold coins that was by his pillow. I wanted to hit it back with the Shovel, but since that would be noisy, I caught the heavy object and threw it on the sofa.

「Not enough? Then five times, I'll pay five times. You can live playing for the rest of your life. Say how much you were hired for.」

「Don't you know? No matter what you multiply zero by, the answer is zero. More importantly, bring out the secret ledger quickly. You're hiding it in this room, right? Bring it out.」

The Crown Prince is not fit to be Emperor. It will definitely develop into a civil war someday. The secret ledger is a mass of weaknesses of powerful people. Even that Georg would want it.

「Don't say stupid things, such a thing... isn't here.」

「That's a lie. Behind that painting there, right? Your eyes went there for a second. Take it out.」

「You bastard... I won't be responsible for what happens...」

「That's my line. If you don't want to die, obey.」

He finally yielded and operated the hidden safe behind the painting. Taking out a thick leather-bound list from there, he showed it to me.

「The secret ledger you desired. But you'll regret it if you look.」

「Just hand it over quickly.」

「Alright... I'm throwing it there, 1, 2, and 3—」

Bang, something exploded. The organization boss, the shabby man Ansef, was holding something. Something fired from there with explosive force hit my chest faster than an arrow, blowing me backward.

I didn't know what happened, but he, while hesitating to retrieve the secret ledger, ran away from me at full speed.

「Ugh... guh, what, was that just now... Kuh, what, is this...?」

While chasing his retreating figure with my eyes, I touched the intense pain running through my chest. Something hard carrying heat is stuck there. Looking at it, it was a lump of metal.

「Could this be, a gun...?」

Washed-up things occasionally washes ashore on this land from the other world. It's not just books. Sometimes weapons are mixed in.

A lump of iron fired from a cylindrical tool. I see, is this a bullet? If so, I'm lucky to be alive...

「No... this isn't the time to be lying around...!」

The bullet was stuck in my chest, but it hadn't reached the inside at all. Pulling that lump of iron out of my chest, I chased the fleeing Ansef with all my might. I absolutely won't let him escape. The pain gave me the driving force called anger.

Fortunately, since Ansef shouted loudly, I had no trouble pursuing. With explosive instantaneous force, overtaking him overhead just before he descended to the floor below, I stood blocking the stair landing.

「W-Wh-Wh-Wh-Why are you still alive?! How can you still move, you bastard?! That was a gun! You took a direct hit, so why?! Did I miss?!」

「It seems the bullet had deteriorated.」

「As if!! What kind of body do you have, bastard!!」

If the bullet hadn't deteriorated, it means the cause lay with me. Extraordinary VIT made the body sturdy, and the skin stopped even a bullet. Even if I stated such a hypothesis, he wouldn't believe it.

Setting that aside, the boss's agitation seemed to peak, and he fired the gun at me wildly.

No problem. If I know he's shooting, I just deal with it. Using the Shovel as a shield, while slipping out of the line of fire indicated by the muzzle relying on AGI (Agility)—I charged at him.

「W-Why?! Why doesn't it hi—hii, aguaaah?!」

「Wh-, Boss?!」

I swept his face with the Shovel and suppressed him. However, it seems four guards rushed over here.

「Kill him, kill this guy! No wait, don't let your guard down, this guy is—ugh?!」

Being in charge of guarding, they were trained. But I don't want any more commotion. Kicking the boss in the side, I chose a short-term battle.

Throwing the Scoop while willing it to cut, the enemy sword that caught it snapped. I slammed the lump of steel into the now-weaponless guy, then—for the three coming at me in quick succession—I sent them the bullets I'd stolen from the boss

Pan pan pan, dry shooting sounds echoed, and they were left groveling, bleeding. Seems the bullets hadn't deteriorated...

[WN] A Hero From a Remote Village : Chapter 189

Chapter 189

The People of Furo Village

Translator : PolterGlast

With the final mock battle against Nagi and Ran concluded, it felt a bit early, but I decided to return to Biodasdal. I had obtained valuable information regarding the Demon King's Army, and above all, seeing that everyone in Furo Village was doing well was the best news of all.

"Graham-san, you're leaving already...! You should have stayed and relaxed a little longer!"

"Yeah, yeah. You won't be able to come back very easily, right?"

"I'd love to take it easy, but I have a lot of things I need to do. Furo Village has become peaceful, but conversely, the danger in the central parts of the country is increasing."

"Is that so? From what the Kijin said, it didn't feel like that!"

"Didn't he say they were gathering forces from other regions? The Demon King's Army is indiscriminately summoning various monsters, which is causing monster activity to become more active."

"Huh. So movement near the Demon King's territory has ceased, but conversely, monsters in places far from the Demon King's territory are becoming more active."

"Exactly. It seems executive-class monsters are also making appearances, so I need to keep a close eye on various things."

Well, even if I call them executive-class, they are extremely weak monsters compared to the ones I faced in Furo Village. Most likely, because I defeated all the named monsters like the Elder Lich Wiseperson and the Fenrir Lord, they have no choice but to appoint weaker monsters as executives.

Comparing the past movements of the Demon King's Army with the information from Cougar, it's clear that the Demon King is desperately trying to rebuild the Demon King's Army. However, from the perspective of someone who experienced a life-or-death struggle against the Demon King's Army, their resurgence is something I absolutely want to avoid. From now on, I will determine my future movements with the intention of interfering with the Demon King's Army.

"So that's the situation. In Furo Village, external information truly doesn't come in, so we had no idea other villages and towns were going through such things."

"I spent many years in Furo Village too, so I know very well that information doesn't reach here. Considering the journey it takes to get here, even accidentally wandering in and arriving... is practically impossible."

"So this place is really in such a remote frontier! We don't even know about that!"

"I think I mentioned this recently, but it's a week's walk to the nearest village. Even running, it takes over three days. Besides, the path is treacherous, and the monsters get stronger the closer you get to Furo Village. An ordinary person would undoubtedly die on the way."

"It's also my first time hearing that the monsters around Furo Village are strong! If it's that far away, no one would bother coming all the way here!"

People bothering to come—or rather, Furo Village is essentially a completely forgotten village in the first place. It's been decades... no, probably hundreds of years since anyone from the outside came here, so it can't be helped that it's been forgotten.

"Hey. If the monsters near Furo Village are strong, does that mean the monsters get weaker if you go to the central areas?"

"Compared to the monsters around here, they are surprisingly weak."

"Is that so! Does that mean there isn't anyone stronger than you, Graham?"

"So far, I haven't met anyone. I thought I was just strong within the village, but I recently realized that even looking at the entire country, I am on the stronger side."

"Wow! You defeated everything all by yourself, Graham, so I definitely thought your strength was absurd, but hearing that you are properly the strongest is kind of a relief!"

"True. Are we also on the stronger side?"

"I think you are extremely strong. People capable of defeating the monsters around Furo Village aren't easily found, after all."

"That makes me kind of happy! Since our point of comparison was Graham, I thought we weren't strong yet at all!"

"Nn. Graham is too strong."

The two of them are praising me, but I think there is a very high possibility that Nagi and Ran will be stronger than I am by the time they reach my age. Having this kind of conversation made me think again, but the strength of the people in Furo Village, myself included, is absurd.

Part of it is that we have to become strong to survive because the nearby monsters are strong, but even so, the average level of strength is exceptionally high. After all, the physical abilities of the children who haven't received any instruction are already high.

It could just be that the parents are strong and it's passed down to the children, but precisely because I've learned about the outside world, I've started to feel like there might be another reason. Well, unless there are documents or something left behind, no matter how much I think about it, I probably won't figure it out.

"Anyway, rest assured, you two are properly strong. It's because I acknowledge that strength that I can entrust Furo Village to you."

"In that case, I wanted you to let us win that last mock battle. If you hadn't used magic, we would have won."

"Yeah, yeah! It's normal to let someone save face!"

"That was my way of letting you save face. Well then—I'm going to get going now."

Since there would be no end to it if we kept talking, I decided to leave right when they poked at my immature use of magic. After all, the more a farewell drags on, the sadder it becomes.

"...Graham-san, I'm so glad you were safe! Come back again and show us you're doing well!"

"We will also nurture the young sprouts. Once they've properly grown, take us with you."

"I'll come back without leaving too much of a gap. I'm looking forward to your training of the next generation."

After bidding farewell to Ran and Nagi, I left Furo Village. Just like when I first set off on my journey, not only Nagi and Ran but everyone in the village came to see me off. However, unlike the sad feelings from before— I was able to set off for Biodasdal with a refreshing feeling.

[WN] Jitsuwa 3-Domedatta : Chapter 280

Chapter 280

Expedition ④ — The Fairy's Triumphal Return

Translator : PolterGlast

Having won the decisive battle on the outskirts of Fairy and joined forces with the King's Army, we passed through the gates of the Royal Capital Fairy together with the First Army of the Royal Guard Division and were welcomed by a storm of cheers from the people of the Royal Capital.

Although the Royal Capital had been occupied for a while, the popularity of the Fearalt King was tremendous.

"Long live the Fearalt King!" "Long live His Majesty Krieger!" "Long live the sworn friend of Fearalt, the Demon Territory Count!" "Long live the Liberator Demon Territory Count, long live the Demon Territory Count Army!" "Gratitude to the Annihilation Magic Corps, the Demon Territory Count Army!"

Hmm? Among the cheering crowd, there are people shouting strange things...

Looking closely, those shouting praises for us uniformly... have an appearance clearly different from the residents of the Royal Capital. Men with faces looking tough at a glance, roughnecks with dirty attire, people with somewhat sinister looks; they were all shouting praises for us, raising exceptionally loud cheers.

"Raphael! You did this, didn't you?"

I glared at Raphael, who was smiling wryly. Those are probably Zahark's subordinates. Then... isn't this an obvious setup!

"Well, in this decisive battle, Lord Takuhir's military exploits are immeasurable. For the Kingdom and for this country. Therefore, it is necessary to advertise it as a fact to the people and establish it. Thinking so, I consulted with Sir Raphael and took the liberty of acting."

"Commander, you did? Are you saying I should become a raccoon toward this country too? Just as we are about to enter the den of raccoons who completely deceived us..."

Yes, we had fallen completely for the strategy of the Fearalt King and Count Flame.

The betrayal of the Second Army of the Royal Guard Division; this itself was a trap set by the Fearalt King. To be precise, the Division Commander of the Second Army, who was of high noble birth, and some upper echelons in similar positions, genuinely betrayed and sided with the rebel army, but the commanders of the actual combat units all followed the Fearalt King's strategy, daringly feigned betrayal and joined the rebel army.

They stopped their betrayal at the most effective timing in the final phase and returned to the fold. As a result, the rebel army collapsed at once. Producing over 10,000 surrenders.

"Indeed, Count Flame's acting of regret when he visited Teigoon was extremely realistic. It means the rebel army, including us, was outwitted. Therefore, this much is only natural."

"Then Commander, in compensation for that, we should be bold toward them and claim necessary expenses without hesitation—is that what you mean?"

"Yes, in that sense, I believe we need to firmly demonstrate our value, terror, and achievements in our own way. Not only to the leadership of this country but also to the people."

Saying so, the Commander laughed. But only his eyes were not laughing at all. Rather, they had a menacing look.

He is not merely a professional soldier. In the previous history, he was said to be a genius in both politics and warfare, supporting the Third Prince and playing an active role in the court struggles within the Empire...

"I'm relying on you. From here on out as well."

Saying so, I desperately patched up my expression to gloss over my embarrassment and responded to the cheers.

---

We hurriedly entered the high-class inn in Fairy rented by the King's order. Of course, the inn alone couldn't accommodate everyone, so the personnel who couldn't be accommodated were assigned to the Royal Guard Division's barracks.

Tomorrow morning, after an audience to receive words of thanks from the King at the Royal Palace, we plan to rush to Salaam by ship, pass through the border, and return triumphantly to Kylar.

I wanted to go home quickly, but told by Count Flame that it was a procedure a country must follow, I compromised on the condition of a one-day stay and receiving a lump sum to distribute to soldiers as soon as we entered the city for the time being.

"Listen well, take rest and meals in shifts. Furthermore, those who wish are permitted free action in Fairy during rest. Since we have received a lump sum from Lord Takuhir, use it for meals and shopping during free action. I entrust the lump sum for each unit to you representatives, so distribute it to all soldiers without omission."

The Commander gathered mid-level commanders, centurions of each unit, and was allocating duty, standby, and free action. Since my close associates, Mages, and I basically act together, we use meals prepared at the inn, but since others have shifts and varying times, such measures are taken.

And after dinner, we heard the expected report.

"Lord Takuhir, um, he has come again... what should we do?"

The one reporting was Raphael with a pale face.

Come to think of it, on the final night of the day he visited here as a special envoy last time, he was made to sit next to the King and given the honor and great task of accompanying him in drinking.

『Someone like me sitting next to him, I was so awestruck I had absolutely no leeway to taste the precious sake, or even get drunk. Seriously, please spare me.』

I recall... he was whining something like that.

"This time he wants to talk to the Commander too, so the Commander and I will handle him. Please relay the message."

"Yes, the Commander is already standing in front of the lounge with Count Flame as guards."

I see, the Commander moves fast.

Wait, Raphael, you have an obviously relieved face! Since it's a rare occasion, maybe I should invite Raphael, who loves alcohol, to the drinking party after the talk is over? I thought so for a moment, but he, whose flag had already been raised, would be properly collected the next day.

After that, I hurriedly headed to the lounge established in this high-class inn.

And then...

"Oh, my friend! I have come to exchange cups of sake as promised."

No, we made no such promise. Well, it was written in the letter His Majesty sent, though...

"Your Majesty."

Count Flame uttered a short word as if admonishing King Fearalt.

"Hmm... that was so. First, I must apologize to King Kyle, the Demon Territory Count, and the nobles, soldiers, and people of your country. I sincerely apologize that the reckless ones of our country caused great trouble to your country."

Saying so, the King kept his head bowed for several seconds.

"Next, I express my heartfelt gratitude to the Demon Territory Count and Baron Weiss. Thanks to you, the situation was reversed at once, and we were able to suppress this rebellion with minimum sacrifices."

He bowed his head again for a long time, and an indescribable awkward silence flowed among us. Even though incognito, it is common sense impossible for a King of a country to bow his head to a subject of another country of equal rank.

"Your Majesty, you previously said that what happens here is 'bureiko' (setting aside status), right? Since you have already shown proper courtesy, let's make it without formalities from here on. Right, Commander?"

"Taking advantage of the word 'bureiko,' as a warrior, allow me to speak frankly. I was impressed by your figure bowing your head frankly to subjects and subordinates. With the exception of only one person, you are the first person I have met with such a heart."

"Hahaha, and that sole exception is your current lord, is it?"

"I also think it is refreshing as a warrior, but after being crowned, it is somewhat of a headache..."

At Count Flame's last remark, the three of us laughed from the bottom of our hearts.

And we began to exchange cups of sake.

"By the way, Demon Territory Count, what was that tactic I've never seen before? I was surprised twice on the battlefield."

"Ah, that and that, right?"

What King Fearalt pointed out were two things. The first that was the remote mobile tactic by the cavalry commanded by the Commander.

During the battle with the rebel army, the Commander charged the enemy center in a column formation of 20 lines wide, deployed left and right just 300 m short, which is outside the range of the enemy's magic attack, and shifted into line formations of 10 lines deep on left and right respectively in the blink of an eye. Then, without giving a moment to breathe, the first volley from horseback, followed by a second volley after switching to crossbows.

These tactics were shooting techniques that only the Demon Territory Knights, Frontier Knights, and the Royal Capital Knights Third Army—which had incorporated crossbows into cavalry tactics early on following Corps Commander Schultz's will—could do.

Arrows supported by Wind Mages placed in various places flew over 300 m, and a total of 8,000 long-range high-power arrows assaulted the center of the rebel army.

Having their face crushed by this powerful and one-sided attack and being trampled one-sidedly, the Central Army and Right Wing Army exploded in anger and protruded to close the range for their magic attack at once.

And as if predicting that, the Commander retreated while maintaining distance in line formation, luring the enemy army out.

Such a tactic, seen from the King's Army positioned on the opposite side across the enemy army, must have seemed like magic and been incredibly mysterious.

After all, just when they thought a single spear had descended, it spread sideways to become a lid, and after that, the entire lid became like a suction cup, and as if sucked in, the enemy army was lured out and protruded...

And the second that.

As a preliminary stage, my voice amplified by a super-large megaphone and Shannon's sound magic rang out toward the rebel army chasing the Commander and the others.

『To the rebel army: throw down your weapons, crawl on the ground, and surrender. Otherwise, your limbs will be torn off, and the earth will be dyed red with your blood. I give you one chance to understand our warning. But there is no second time.』

Simultaneously as my voice ended, four consecutive shots from magic cannons with intense power gouging the earth struck toward 1 km ahead, the midpoint between the two armies—the Demon Territory Knights and Third Army cavalry who had retreated to less than 1 km from us, and the rebel army chasing them several hundred m away.

Of course, the metal balls bounced around the earth until their kinetic energy became zero, and ricochets involved the vanguards of the unfortunate rebel army to some extent.

Surprised and terrified by the excessive high power, long range, and wide-area volley, the rebel army stopped moving and was stunned. There, a pursuing voice echoed again.

『Did you understand? Next, I will drop magic on the center of your army. There will only be miserable death. The only ones who can survive are those who practiced the method of surrender. Whether you die in vain or survive depends on you. Now! Choose!』

Of course, this was a bluff. Accurately speaking, their central part is outside effective range, and at over 1 km, even fixing the aim point is difficult, becoming truly diffused attacks flying who knows where; but only we know that.

However, they mistook this as a magic attack, not a physical attack. The first shot that flew an impossible distance and the composed warning that seemed to mock them were sufficient to make them misunderstand the potential for more.

Well, since it's a high-level coordination of gravity magic and wind magic, in a sense, magic attack is correct...

At this situation, the units located in the center fell into a panic state and began to rout ahead of others, each starting to leave the battlefield. Suddenly, the Second Army of the Royal Guard Division, which was supposed to be an ally, attacked them, and in response, the King's Army of 30,000 facing us on the opposite side, pushed and enveloped the rebel army's Right Wing.

Reaching this situation, many lower-ranking officers and soldiers threw down their weapons and lay on the ground, so the victory was decided in an instant.

"Well, that and that are our secret tactics. We have only told a very limited number of trustworthy people even within the Kingdom..."

"Are we untrustworthy as friends?"

Wanting the reveal so badly, King Fearalt seemed to forget himself, and his appearance as a King seemed to have flown somewhere.

"Let's see... we 'untrustworthy' ones were completely deceived by the two of you acting like raccoons this time. We knew nothing about the Second Army of the Royal Guard Division. Until the very last moment, we mistook them for enemies and nearly annihilated them inadvertently..."

"I apologize for that, so... hey, please. Flame! Originally, it's because your acting was too realistic!"

"What! Your Majesty yourself said, 'To deceive the enemy, first deceive allies; please act well on the Kingdom side too,' didn't you!?"

"No... even so, there should be a degree to dealing with people. The Demon Territory Count is my friend..."

"In the first place, it was Your Majesty who said, 'The truth is strictly confidential to anyone but me'!"

"Th-That is..."

With alcohol added, it began to look not like a relationship between King and subject, but an unsightly pushing of responsibility between boss and subordinate. For some reason, the Commander was watching such a state with a smile.

Eventually, after teasing and enjoying enough, I decided to tell them only the harmless range, excluding some top secrets (gravity magic, and some secret matters like pulleys).

And when the banquet was in full swing, a bomb was dropped by Count Flame this time.

"Your Majesty, Her Highness the Princess of the Kyle Kingdom is staying in the city of Salaam, solidifying the defenses of that land as a commander. In annihilating the rebel army this time, Her Highness the Princess was in the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Western Area Army and achieved great meritorious deeds."

"Ah!" "Ah..."

I unintentionally raised my voice at the dropped bomb. The fact that Her Highness is in this country is a story that shouldn't be known externally. Carelessly, I had forgotten to silence Count Flame in advance.

And at my shaken voice, the Count followed with a scream of regret for carelessly leaking information that would bring disaster upon himself while drunk.

I mean, you noticed too late! I almost grumbled so unintentionally.

Because regarding Princess Clarice, now that it's known, they must act as a country due to diplomatic protocol. Seeing us holding our heads in our hands unintentionally, King Fearalt grinned this time.

"Hmm... it's fine if I don't visit officially, right? The Second and Third Armies of the Royal Guard Division are still running around to pacify the country. I left Fairy to encourage them, and on the way to join them, I happened to visit Salaam incognito. Would there be any problem with that?"

"No, leaving the Royal Capital again after finally reclaiming it..."

This time, bathed in my scornful stare, Count Flame began to panic greatly.

The Count, who knows that person well, should have naturally known it would come to this...

I sighed heavily in my heart.

However, we, who were chatting and drinking, couldn't even imagine that this would develop from a mere troublesome story into a major event for both countries in the future.

Takuhir had no way of knowing, but the irony of history orchestrates unexpected developments.
