How the Villain Lives

31. Don't you remember yet?

It was never difficult to infiltrate Japanese cities. It was not the complete closure of Japan, but the passage for regular communication was being closed. In addition to taxes, he was paying a certain amount of protection or war compensation, and the envoy was on his way to collect it. It was so easy to sneak in and mix it up with the power of the defrost office.

Of course, I had to bring Yukiko with me who was proficient in Japanese because he could tell me who he was when he spoke Korean.

'Well, I used to practice Japanese myself. You sound so futile.'

Does it have to be different from mainland pronunciation?

"What are you thinking?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. because this place looks a lot different from Shinshi."

It was a sudden excuse, but Rysuke nodded with a bitter expression. I didn't even walk that far, but there have been four people I've met. Two of them had suddenly attacked with their swords without saying a word, while the other two were sticking around asking if they would not hang out with their makeup on their fat faces for a while. Of course, just because Ryosuke let him live, everyone ran away in horror.

The only way to have a safe conversation without being seen by anyone is to carry out the right mission together. However, Rysuke deliberately decided to have a conversation at a nearby cafe. I don't think this guy will be stronger than he is, but there is still one in ten. If you think about safety, not security, it's much better to talk in the city. Moreover, if something happens because you are Korean, you can bring everyone around you into your alliance.

"Anything in particular you'd like to drink? Yukiko, what about you?"

"I'm just like Lord... Gil Dong drinking."

"Hmph, here's an apple juice and two glasses of water."

Open up!

Of course, I didn't want much, but looking at the water glass with the drops, Sung-hoon smiled bitterly. I didn't want a grand treat, but I was still getting some pudding, but it tasted like this.

"Can we have a conversation here? If the conversation spreads around.."

"It's okay. I'm watching everything. So let's get to the point. I asked you to help me, but what exactly do you want? It's not just about leading people and attacking them."

"First of all, the biggest plan we're making right now is to hit the cerebellum."

"Cerebral?"

"Yes, I investigated, and I heard that Kamikaze was once a giant guild built by strong men like Kenshin and Uchida around Rysuke. Although the power is somewhat decentralized, after all, the core power is concentrated in the upper classes, and the person who wields it is Ryosuke. But the coalition is different."

Since information about the Shinxi was worth a thousand gold, Rysuke was forced to express quite an interest, not only because he lost the battle but also because he was restricted from moving outside the city. Composition or force cost to the coalition was a gain just by listening.

"How is it different?"

"Name as it is. Unlike Kamikaze, the coalition is not given absolute power to one person, it is distributed to many. Of course, there must be some of the most powerful of them, but there is a separation of command and control over the armed forces and the guild. Creating a reasonable conflict between them and blocking commands can maximize confusion."

"It's not that simple that a group collapses. Slapping your head doesn't end everything, and the aquariums in between matter. How are you going to handle that part?"

"That part has already been told."

Sung-hoon, who had dried his mouth with cold water, lightly bounced off the glass with his fingers.

"There's going to be a massive civil uprising to get real freedom and peace. A significant number of mid-career positions are over, and when this happens, we can use them to deter each other. But the most problematic thing is the cerebellum. We are absolutely lacking in strength."

"That means asking us to deal with them. But…."

"Oh, and there's something I haven't heard, but I've decided to help the French with this plan."

"What?!"

"In exchange for losing the Korean war, very few French survived. They are now committed to revenge against Korea. Some people want to relocate to Japan when this business is done successfully."

Immediately following the unexpected arrival of a force called France, Ryske's accident stopped. Of course, he also knew that France was his opponent when the victory and defeat were decided.

"What are their numbers?"

"Very little. You barely have to hand over a hundred. with the formation of a massive punitive force under the guise of eliminating retribution. The survivors are made up of people who would do anything if they could get revenge on Korea."

You're getting into France? '

This guy's offer is sweet, but I felt anxious for some reason. The rose looks splendid on the outside, but there are sharp thorns hidden in the trunk? However, if France helps revenge together, its credibility is greatly increased.

There's no way anyone will help South Korea until the destruction of Korea.

'Once you hear the words, you cannot know the truth.'

"Good. I can't trust you perfectly just by listening to you. I think we should take some time to build a relationship of trust."

"Unfortunately, that must be hard. You know, right now we don't even know when there's going to be a war against another city. You don't have to tell me what happens if another city shows up after work, do you?"

"Mm-hmm."

There are times when you can't even die or eat. Therefore, once Japan is tied to the same group as Korea, when Korea loses, Japan automatically loses. This was an absolute necessity for time, but it was difficult to secure it.

"How long do you guys have?"

"We have a deadline of roughly fortnight. Given the cycle of compulsory missions and the time it takes to recover the damage and power up after the inter-city war. We can reduce time here, but we can't increase it any further."

"Then can I send spies to the synagogue? If you think you've infiltrated this place safely, I think you have the ability to sneak people out of the city."

"Of course it's possible. Instead, there shouldn't be too many people. And I can't do anything about getting caught in the city, so I want you to be aware of that."

"Don't worry. There's only one."

Hanzo Hottori. If he specializes in hiding, infiltrating, and gathering information, it would be cool to investigate whether the information he said is true or not.

"Very well. One can cover enough in my line. So this is it?"

"No, one more thing. Leave the hostages."

"Hostages?"

"Yes. I think it's best if you stay."

"Well, I mean, I think we should trust each other a little bit more. I believe in Ryosuke without any conditions."

"Trust doesn't just come from words. We have to show him what he deserves. Was there any act of trust between us? If you don't have a hostage, leave it as collateral to the legendary elite."

Following Ryosuke's unintended suggestion, Sung-hoon snapped his fingers at the staff, then repeatedly grabbed the staff and locked into his thoughts for a while. Of course what you have left is absurd. What happens if things go wrong and they try to kill themselves?

That also made it impossible to leave Yukiko alone. She was originally Japanese because she didn't mean much by hostages, but there was something else she had to do.

"Could you give me a moment? I will bring my colleague."

"As much as you want."

As a Korean, he disappeared from the cafe because if the civil war happened, the problem could get bigger.

He came back with the sound of the door opening as he filled his stomach with hot pancakes and coffee and refilled the second cup. What was new next to him was a person who could not see his face.

A black armor completed with matte treatment that seems to suck even light. A long saddle across the waist and a strange shaped helmet that warms the Devil's head as it is, were definitely distinctive. If it was a goddess, it would have attracted people's attention at least once, but there were so many people with unique equipment that they were worried about whether to call it cosprey or fashion.

'I'm covering my skin with clothes and equipment so I don't expose it at all outside. I even wore a mask in my helmet. You're wearing weak armor that sticks to your body. Is it a woman in her body shape?'

"This guy's a hostage?"

"Yes."

"What kind of illness is that? Why didn't you expose your skin a little?"

"Hmm, about that. because Ms. Borang here has a rather special job. Don't be surprised to see it."

Glub!

'Suck?!'

As soon as the gauntlet he was wearing was peeled off, Rysuke almost shed a new voice without even knowing it. A light skin that is distinctly different from that of humans.

"What is it? Isn't it human?"

"Oh, my gosh, Miss Borang will be hurt. She's an ordinary person everywhere. But because you have a special job everywhere, your body changes and you touch it."

"What a stunt."

There were also some people in Japan who gained a special job with a changing appearance, such as Onina Lykoslov. The person who obtained O'Neill's job raised horns on his forehead, and the person who obtained Leikonslope's job was able to sign ( ).

"That's right. I got a special job called Mine, and my skin changed color, and I had horns on my forehead. I don't want to show this to anyone else, so I'm hiding as much as I can."

"But if you don't say anything before, are you dumb?"

"Hmph, I just didn't feel the need to talk to someone like you."

"Hahaha, as you can see, it's quite passive and reluctant to talk to others."

"It sounds more violent than passive."

Of course, I couldn't easily believe what it would be like to be held hostage. However, anyone with a special job would be that important, making it more reliable.

"Good. Then I'll take this one hostage."

"Ryosuke, who is resonant, believes that she will not touch Ms. Borang in particular."

"Hmph, I'm not that much trash."

"If so, thank God. Even if you torture her, Ms. Borang won't spit out any information. So we're going to talk about power now? How much power do you currently have to mobilize?"

"If I make the most of my connections…."

'I would have been forced to accept it anyway, but it's persistent.'

'For now, I believe. But if there's any contradiction between you and me, I'll make you pay right away.'
