Flying Whale’s Wonderful Life – I who has fused with an Invincible Weapon from the Age of Gods will build a city on my back –

On the night after the business talk with Kanlu, I decided to share today's information with the returning Nao and Islafil around the dinner table.

Onijin: The business talk went well, and the elimination strategy was getting closer. Nao and Islafil heard my story with a strange face.

"... I see. There is a mopping operation."

Nao, who was in a negative position by the demon, seems to have thought that he would be killed by all means.

"Is the negotiation successful? Then let's raise it. Even if you leave it as it is, you just see what you don't like."

Islafil says it's okay.

I don't know if I think it's okay, but it doesn't seem special. You may feel that it is only the course of nature.

Yes, it is a natural process. It is not an absurd story, but the process and the result are interlocked. No problem.

But that didn't seem right to leave it alone. I open my mouth worried.

"I want to help children and the elderly alone, but what about?"

"Stop it"

Islafil replied promptly.

"Who entrusts your immediate family to a stranger? No matter how much you think about the other person, if you do not trust them first, you will not be able to talk. So you wanted to start a company and get the trust of the beasts? "

"But if the danger is imminent ..."

"Is thinking more flexible? No, it's more rigid."

It is a perfect theory. In fact, I didn't think it would work.

"I--"

Nao slowly spins words with a complex expression.

Onijin "I think it would be better if I could help. But there is a problem, and it is natural that the crime will be judged, but I'm silently watching everyone be killed. It's something different ... "

Apparently, Nao seems like me. Islafil suffocated with his dung.

Onijin "Assuming we have accepted our help. But do you know? Is that a betrayal to this city?"

"that is……"

"Hey, Quito"

Islafil's clear green-green eyes reflect on me straight.

"You want to do business in this city, but can you betray it?"

Onijin: "I don't think it's good. If you want to help out, get out of this city. As expected, the skin is not so thick."

"Then the goal of releasing your beastman will be far away."

Onijin "That's right. But even if I leave it here, I will be far from my purpose. My willingness to help the beastman will be weakened."

"Sweet! What can be achieved with that!"

I smile bitterly at Islafil's rebuke. No way, the day will be preached by this guy.

I know it's sweet. But reasonably-it won't work if you're cool. Sometimes the human mind is easier to walk on an irrational path.

Onijin: "Well, I really want to see the situation a bit more. There seems to be some time left before the mop-up operation is decided."

"Well, that's it."

Nao whirls his index finger. It's a habit when talking while thinking.

"I don't think it's absolutely necessary for the people in this city, because they're expensive and they may be dead."

"Well, that's it."

Onijin It is not known how many people in the city will mobilize, but it will not be killed calmly.

That's what it's like to resist desperately. Oni: Above all, the Kai family is not just a band of bandits, but a skilled combat group. There is no doubt that his fighting abilities are excellent.

If you want to win, you'll need ten times-or twenty times as many. Moving that much soldier would cost a lot of money and resources.

However, if a soldier gets stuck, it will result in a large number of casualties on the human side. In a normal battle, you can get rid of the money from the losing opponent, but the opponent is a tramp. There is nothing you can get.

Considering that fact, as Nao says, people in the city do not want to pursue a sweeping operation. It is just necessary to keep trade safe.

"That's why-"

Nao continues to talk.

Onijin: If we persuade them to quit thieving, wouldn't the people of the city not have to hunt down?

Onijin "... Well, let's say we were able to convince us well, but it would be difficult to say if people in the city would be convinced."

"Why don't you ask the Hao family, the most influential person in the country?"

"To the Hao family? Well, I feel more difficult ..."

"I know it's difficult, but Mr. Quito can do it! Let's do our best! I'll help!"

"Well ..."

Nao's gaze at the sparkling expectations.

I am glad that I can rely on it. At least Nao believes that I can do it, so you should be glad that it is trusted.

The problem is that it is a difficult task. Listening to the story, Islafil closed with a surprised appearance.

"Um ..."

Onijin: Think about your arms. Certainly, if it were possible, we would not betray the people of this city and save them from the path of ruin. Very difficult, but not a bad idea.

I was annoyed for a while and then answered.

"Well, let's just try ..."

By the way, what kind of negotiation material should be brought to each partner ...

†

Onijin Three days after that, a bulletin about the city came in. Here's the content.

Onijin: A merchant soldier in the town was attacked again, but it seemed that he had successfully intercepted thanks to hired skilled guards. And he caught one of the pirates.

He has already been handed over to the town guards and appears to be undergoing scrutiny. I don't know any further details, but the townspeople are excited about the news.

Definitely good news for them, but not good news for me. I want to stop the demon banditry, but I don't want them all killed.

Despite being a demon, he has not yet set up a discussion with his patriarch and the Hao family. In this state, everything ends while holding the finger.

If this happens, you will have to rely on Shiranui. Despite being kicked out of the Onijin clan, he still knows where his clan is lurking. You should listen to it and discuss it first.

It may be a matter of fifty-fifty to get a good answer, but there should still be love for the clan in Shiranui. Persuasion may persuade my thoughts.

When I thought so, I felt something terrible.

What does Shiranui think about having captured his relatives?

If you're trying to rescue yourself, it's ridiculous. I decided to work with Nao and Islafil in a hurry to find him.

†

Full moon night. Dark alley back.

Nao found Shiranui. He jumped from roof to roof and told me where it was.

Onijin The back alley leads to the town's tunnel, where there is a dungeon that temporarily holds criminals. The one being interrogated should be there.

On the road, Shiranui was walking alone with a serious look.

I instruct Nao and Islafil to wait and call out to Shiranui.

"What are you doing, Shiranui?"

Surprisingly, Shiranui recognizes me and moves his gaze without hesitation to watch out for his surroundings. Maybe I'm afraid I've snitched and came to seize with the guard.

"Relieve. I have not betrayed.-Don't run away. Let's talk."

I stop Shiranui, who begins to retreat.

"Are you going to help your captured mate?"

To my question, Shiranui hanged.

"... I didn't mean to do that, but I just couldn't let it go ... here if I noticed ..."

"I see ... I understand you, but if you help jailbreak, you won't be able to stay in this city anymore. Will you still help?"

"... I'm my sister."

"Sister? You?"

"... yeah"

"Did you get that information?"

"No, we know each other's signs, especially with immediate family members. Of course, there is no certainty, but maybe ..."

Onijin Speaking of which, I was good at the ability to detect the soul. It is new to remember that Shiranui discovered Nao and Islafil.

"Sister ... It can't be helped ..."

"Are you missing?"

"If I miss, I'll be the same."

"... I know, but ..."

Siranui lay down and rubbed his forehead on the ground. I remember that it was a way of expressing sincerity like Dogeza.

"Please do not overdo it. Please don't overlook this place.

I approached Shiranui and put my hand on her shivering shoulder.

"Let me raise my head. I'm not that crazy guy to do that."

"But I can only ask me this way ..."

"Anyway, raise your head."

Shiranui wakes up and looks at me with scared eyes.

"If I missed, what would you do after helping my sister? Do you want to escape far away? Just throw out everything."

"... No, it wouldn't be possible, because my sister loves the clan. Even if you jailbreak, he should return to his clan."

"Well, it's just waste to jailbreak."

"So I'm going back to the clan with me, and I'll convince again."

"If it works, do you think you weren't expelled?"

"Even if it is."

There is anxiety and fear in Shiranui's eyes. However, deep in the depths I could feel the light of will.

"I understand your decision, but you can't overlook it."

"Mr. Quito ..."

"Instead, my sister will help me."
