According to Sigrun, the organization [Wind of
Yesterday] has connections with royalty, nobility, and even the parliament.
These guys kidnap people outside the Empire, but claim it's a necessary evil to
bring labor power to the Empire.
It seems powerful people who claim such things aren't rare.
In other words, [Wind of Yesterday] is an organization that cannot be
judged by law. Since their targets are other races, few try to protect them.
But it's wrong. These guys are the shame of the Empire. A
disease focus worsening diplomatic relations. Precisely because it's the
world's strongest and largest Empire, incurring unnecessary resentment and
becoming isolated must be avoided.
Let's return to the topic. Even Georg can't judge
these guys. They exist in a sanctuary that even Father, the Emperor, hasn't
been able to touch until today.
That's why it suits me. Annihilating a human trafficking
organization; it's not bad as a parting gift when leaving the Empire.
「Alright, now that we're on the same
page, let's review the plan. First, retrieval. Using Yashu as bait, we
counterattack the enemy organization's members. Capture them, interrogate them to seize the location of
their base, and then dig a tunnel leading there.」
The method itself isn't much different from the warehouse
raid I did with Carral
Hez and Jii. Just the target of theft changes from objects to people, with
some additional missions added.
「Umu. I knew you were a guy who used weird things as weapons, but I didn't think
it went this far. Well, having a fire poker chopped in half demonstrated before
my eyes, I have no choice but to believe you,
hahaha!」
「No matter how you think about it,
it's strange hyan!! Cutting iron with a Shovel is strange kyan,
Sigrun-sama!」
「But if it cuts, there's no arguing
with that! It's convenient, so isn't it fine!」
「So irresponsible... I mean,
normally, you're practically performing a miracle kyan!」
I needed to demonstrate my power as proof that I can dig
anything. A fire poker is much thinner than a sword, so just give it a
little tap and—snap—it breaks clean in two.
「Save that talk for later. In short,
what we're targeting this time are the organization's merchandise, funds, and
the boss's head. We'll seize these three and cause the organization to
collapse.」
「H-Head... Are you really going to do
it hyan...?」
「I will. An organization won't stop
unless you crush the head.」
「Kukuku, you're a scary man with a
cute face. If exposed, your head will be the one targeted instead, you know?」
「So what. My life has a dubious
outlook anyway. If I'm going to die, I'll do whatever I want and leave no
regrets.」
If I say I have nothing to lose, it would be a lie, but it's
a life that could end at any moment. I've long since resolved myself.
「That's it! That part of you, living
in the moment, attracts me! If there wasn't a doggy here, I would be pushing
you down right now!」
「Kyau?! E-Ecchi things are no good hyan...!」
「Stop it... If you do that, the
innkeeper's comment about my bad taste will come true...」
Being told that by a big-breasted beauty in a room with a
double bed, even I feel something appropriate for my age. Yashu, perhaps
out of excessive embarrassment, curled up crouching again.
「How many times must I say these
words... Returning to the topic. The slave auction is in three days. By this
deadline, I will dig two underground tunnels. One to the auction venue, and
another to the organization boss's mansion.」
The target boldly has a residence in the noble district of
the Imperial Capital. That's how deep their association with the
privileged class is, and how stable their position is.
No matter how wrong, vested interests that generate enormous
wealth are protected. It was a common story everywhere.
「From the boss's mansion, I will
seize his assets and his head. I will handle this side.」
To increase the success rate, we will execute the operations
simultaneously this time. I will handle the dirty work and, if possible, seize
the evidence of past transactions, the secret ledgers.
「Sigrun and Yashu, you two retrieve the kidnapped brethren.
After that, make it look like a fire and burn down the venue.」
「Umm, isn't that... overdoing it hyan...
It would feel refreshing, but is it okay hyan...」
「Umu, leave it to me. I'll make it a
flashy festival, so look forward to it. Kukuku... Shinza, you look
harmless, but you're a terrifying man. Indeed, if no one delivers divine
punishment, one tries to become an arrogant god oneself. That is one path those
with power reach.」
Burning it down is absolute. It's meaningless if the enemy
recovers. It's far more merciful than purging everyone in the organization.
Even if I'm criticized behind my back, an organization scattering misery to
people must be crushed.
「Finally, rely on the Ambassador of
the Beastman Country Kaha to request protection and escort for the
retrieved beastmen. Leave this to me too; I have a slight connection.」
「Umu, what kind of connection?」
「...I know a big shot.」
「Hoh, what kind of big shot is that?」
「A stubborn, clumsy person who shows
kindness through strict actions. Trustworthy more than anyone.」
「I see, I want to be trusted by you
that much too. Then I leave that to you; let's defeat evil together, save Yashu's
brethren, and make the villains foam at the mouth!!」
「P-Please do kyan! My
friends... being sold like this is too cruel kyan! Their families must
be searching too kyan... Being separated is no good hyan, I want
you to save my friends kyan!!」
Depending on the angle, it might be naive justice. But Yashu's
cry is the truth. Among numerous crimes, kidnapping alone must not be forgiven.
「Leave it to me! Let's do it Shinza;
no matter what society thinks, stick to the justice you believe in! You aren't
wrong, I guarantee it!」
「Yeah, I feel a slight guilt as if
dragging you into a bad path, but—honestly, it's reassuring. I'm counting on
you for that side.」
From here on, we crush the organization. First—
「If we're going to abduct the targets, it should be after the sun goes down more. Alright Yashu,
let's take a nap with me. Oh, there there, fluffy and cute aren't you~!」
「Hyan?! I am not a doggy... Kyuuuun?!
Th-That place is no good hyan! Kyauuu~♪」
It's a bit noisy, but I guess I'll sleep on the floor...
