Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Knowing that a man named Tanashita was close to the demon emperor but became an informant, including Ranka, we entered the castle.

The exterior of the castle is almost the same as that of the castle in Japan, and the interior is almost the same, so I feel a bit nostalgic.

"This way.

When Shinobu walks normally through the castle, it feels a little strange...

We'll lead Shinobi inside the castle, on the ground floor, to the west end.

"Is there an environment in this castle where you can stand up?

"Inside the castle, the west side of the ground floor is a little stronger.

This is where the castle's pantry, armory, and library are located.... "

"Did they take such a place..."

"It doesn't matter..."

If the informant doesn't understand and stands up, perhaps there's no other way...

"How many people are standing up?

"There are ten of them all.The door is completely closed.

When I tried to open it, he said he'd light a fire... "

"I see... that's why you called me.

With the power of a water tiger, it seems like we can suppress it without causing a fire... and that's why it's called Ranka.

"If you're an informant, you'll have important information, and you want to catch him without killing him.

"Is it possible?

"There is a gap when it comes to storage.It doesn't matter.

Just a few things get wet temporarily, okay?

"Yes, I understand that.

"I see.

When you come in front of a room where informants are standing up, you know why they can't do it.

Too sturdy iron door.It's like a bank safe.

You won't be able to open it if you want to.It's a little stronger than the others... hey.

"Is there no other way out?

"Yes, just here.Inside is a cache of weapons... that can't be broken easily.

"Lanka, are you okay?

"Leave it to me.

Pom!

Next to Ranka, a water tiger appears.

Looking at what to do, after Lanka talks to the water tiger, the water tiger enters through the gap between the sulsulsule and the door.

Can I put a water tiger in there without that kind of vigilance?I thought so, but apparently there was nothing to worry about.

A few seconds later, a voice leaks from inside.

"What was that?!

"It's a water tiger!Get away from me! "

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

"Water!

Light the fire! Hurry up!

"No! Fire in the water!

"Shit! Now!

"No, stop it! Stop poking around..."

Somehow, I know what's going on from the voice I hear from inside.Apparently, there's been a lot of trouble inside.

Lanka is sensorially connected to the water tiger, and you'll see what's inside more clearly than we do.You mean you sent a water tiger through the water tiger on purpose to figure out where they were inside.

It seems that Lanka was asking the water tiger to go in there for a magic tie.I can imagine what effect it would have on the name.

"It seems that suddenly things couldn't be dealt with.It's time to complete your restraint.

"You're holding me tight..."

"Tanashita only has common swordsmanship skills, and people other than Tanashita are similar, so it's not that difficult.

"Now you know a little bit about the other person.

"I'm glad that's the case...

Looks like the restraint is complete.Please open it.

Shinobi nodded in Ranka's voice and opened the vault door.

Shit, shit, shit...

As the black metal doors open, there are plenty of weapons inside.And the figure of ten people who are wrapped in water and unable to move, like worms.

The weapon is wet everywhere, but everything else seems fine.

"Looks like you're not on fire.

"Mmm! Mmm-hmm!

Gopo gopo... gopo gopo...

The men in captivity are covered with water from their toes to their mouths and ears.It seems that the water pressure prevents it from moving.

I can breathe with my nose, but even if I try to talk, the air just passes through the water.

"It's dangerous to go in, right?

I see. If even the magic of the trap system had been planted, the sea of fire would have happened in an instant...

I don't know what I was doing inside, and I'll set up one or two traps.

"Now, shall we proceed with the interrogation?

As Lanka nods toward the water tiger, the water in one's mouth wooshes down.

Untie him! Who do you think I am?

An elderly man with black hair mixed with gray hair, black eyes and wrinkles.From the attitude, this is Tanashita.

"You're just an informant.Do you still think that Fu (Kazu) who is in your position is on our side?

"May fly! Untie me!

"... that's not what I'm talking about.

Unusual, I feel the anger mixed with Lanka's voice.

"As a person who also stands up, I feel very angry with you.If you don't answer what you need quickly, you'll be begging me to kill you.

"Shut up, blind!

……………

I feel Lanka's anger voltage rising.

My hands and feet seem to be ripped off as they are.Before that happens, I'd like to get some information out of you...

"Yes... you did.

Those who were there listened to me.

"Rat, can you make me numb to the point of not dying?

Easy!

Bee!

A simple magical formation appears at Rato's feet.

Was it Tanashita?You think it's better for you to cut your mouth off early?

"Ha! I'm not weak enough to give in to such threats!

"Rat."

Okay!

Tickle!!

The magic of Rato is activated, and the lightning runs toward the water holding Tanasita's body.

"Although there is, but there is!

Rat's electric shock strikes Tanashita, making her body stiff and painful.

What was unexpected was that not only the water holding Tanashita's body, but also the water holding others, was electrocuted, and everyone looked painful.

"Ah... but..."

Although alive, it seemed like it had been a rather painful time, and Tanasita's eyes were out of focus and she was looking at the void.

"Perhaps Lanka and Rato go very well together... exactly Watertiger and Rato...?

"Fufufu, as long as I'm happy that it goes well with Rat-sama.

When he heard his asthma in pain, Lanca's sip dropped a little.

"Now... are you ready to talk?

"Ha... ah..."

"Speak quickly.We still have a lot to do.

Sena is also angry.I don't suppose we can afford to spend too much time on this guy.

"First of all, is there a trap in this room?Answer me.

"... gu... no!I didn't set a trap!

"... are you lying to the blind person?I'm not impressed.

"Rat."

Yes!

Tickle, tickle, tickle!

"Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Don't throw up an easy-to-understand lie in front of Ranka.

"Looks like you're setting a trap.Ladies and gentlemen, please don't step in.

"" "" Yes. "

Shinobi and some of the people who had arrived lowered their heads to Lanka's words.

"It's an armory… If a trap is activated, the castle may even collapse.We need to disarm it or handle it well.

Large quantities of combustible materials, such as oil, are also stored in the armory.Although it is a room made of iron, once the fire turns, it will be a big deal.

"It wasn't Tanasita who set the trap.That's right.... "

Lanka reads everyone's signs and frees some mouths.Instead, Tanasita is restrained again around her mouth and ears.

"Tanasita spoke.I hear there's a trap in this room.

If you release it, you won't have to hurt me any more.What do you think?

Lanka's smile is a little scary at times like this.

Those whose ears were covered with water do not know how far Tanasita spoke.He seems to be trying to derive a solution while successfully guiding it.

"I don't know!It's not me!

"Neither am I.

Men screaming indiscriminately that they are not themselves.

"... I'm in trouble... if they're all different, I'll have to kill them one by one.If everyone dies, they'll be disarmed... that's fine.We don't need to take this many prisoners, and we just need Tanasita.

Lanka's words have a backward meaning.

First, Tanasita said...And they kill themselves trying to keep secrets.

What do the men think when they hear these two things?

Most people are killed when the man who talks with fear of death survives and tries to protect himself without fear.That's cunning.

I think so.

It's easy for Lanka to tell and lead a lie.

Maybe Ranka is a little scary...?

……………

Men who still don't talk.

"Then please die one by one.

After Lanka's words, the water that was entangled in a man's neck slowly twisted.

"Stop... stop! Stop it! Stop it!

The man's face slowly... slowly turns back.

"Why me!No, no, no!I was just threatened!

………………

Whatever the man says, the water doesn't stop moving.Because it's not the information I need.

"I hate it... I hate it!It's him! My two right guys set a trap!It's not me!

Listening to the words, the water stops moving.

"It looks like it's true.

The eyes of Lanka, with her eyelids closed, face the pointed man.

"What do you want to do?Do you want to unlock it yourself?Or... "

The water is tightly entangled in the neck of the pointed man.

"Okay! Unlock!I'll disarm you. Don't kill me!

"Fufufu. I can't... I'm not lying.

The man's neck turned slowly behind him.

He said he was going to unlock the trap and activate it the other way around.

That's why you can't lie in front of Ranka.

Michigan, Michigan, Michigan!

The neck of a man facing backwards makes a nasty noise.

"Unlock! I'm not lying!I'm disarming it!

"It was a little late for that.

Lanka smiles at the man...

Bagibiki!

The man's neck makes a loud noise and turns completely behind him.

"Hyi!

The man directly behind shouts a pathetic voice.

Shit...

The man with the neck facing backwards was released from restraint and fell on the floor.

"Are there no more traps?

"Nothing! It's gone!I'll tell you anything! So don't kill me!

"Oh, you knew I shouldn't lie to you.I'm glad. "

Apparently, after seeing one sacrifice, his mouth became lighter.

When Lanka smiles, everyone's face turns pale.

"Nevertheless, I can't be alarmed yet, so I'll keep asking you questions.If you give me a quick and accurate answer, I won't take my life as a prisoner.

Do you understand?

Men who are demons shake their necks vigorously and vertically to Lanka's words.

"Now, please tell me the names of the other informants in this castle.

You're not alone?

The men answered Ranka honestly.Quickly and accurately.

The names that came up from the men will be written down immediately.

Of course, I don't know any names at all, but from the reaction of the people who were listening, it seems that there were some names of executives as well.

Until then?! There were several reactions like this.

"This is all we know!All I know is Tanashita-sama!

"I see. Now, what were you going to do standing here?

"Our goal is to hold the weapon and wait here until it's over.That's all. "

"... I wonder if you were going to look at me and do something in the meantime..."

"So, is there anything you can think of?

If you want to break the enemy from the inside, you should be cautious about behaving as if they were enemies.

It is likely to be a diversion, but what are you going to do with it?

"... is it possible to think of a fire thief...?

"Fire thief?

"If you turn your eyes to this disturbance, you won't be able to see the small movements.

In the meantime, you steal something... or you get information... "

"Could it be a secret passage?!

I am not familiar with this castle, and if I choose from the knowledge I know, I can think of a hidden passage that leads from this castle.

If the hidden passage is broken, this battle will be settled in an instant.

"... it's possible.

"That's tough!We must inform the demon emperor immediately!

"We'll arrange it.

Immediately one of the Shinobi said so and sent others.

"But... hidden passageways aren't that easy to find.I wonder why... "

"The man would know something.

A man named Tanasita can only stare at us and keep looking at Ranka.

"We'll talk about Tanasita later.

I'm sure you want to get as much information as you can to advance your story.

"Then, after all, what is the goal of the Demon Squad?

"... all we know is that we're trying to overthrow the demon emperor...

"The overthrow of the demon emperor...?

At the apex of this island's state-of-the-art triangle is the Demon Emperor.Overthrowing it means overthrowing everything on this island.

"That's what anyone can expect when they target this castle.

But why are you gathering people with magical eyes?

"I don't know the details.All we know is what it takes to overthrow the demon emperor...

……

Gathering the possessors of the Magic Eye is necessary for the overthrow of the Demon Emperor?

I don't understand the meaning. I don't understand what you're saying.

From what I've seen, Galak seems to have been planning this for a long time.

It should take a long time to find out who owns the Magic Eyes.

It is hard to believe that the owner of the Magic Eye was gathered meaninglessly.These men don't take what they say seriously, but it's obvious that it means something.After all, there seems to be no other way to get more information from Tanasita.

"Should I hear from Tanasita..."

"That's right. With this information, it will be difficult to get ahead of the Demon Squad...."

"We talked about talking!Is that enough?!

"Dear Ranka, We'll do the rest.

"That's right. I'll leave them to Shinobi.

"Stop it! I can't believe I'm giving it to Shinobi!I made a mistake!

"What I promised was that I wouldn't take anything but my life.I haven't made any promises about your treatment.

Oh, no!

The Shinobi are professional interrogators.If there is any other information, they will pull it out.I can't expect it...

Well, I wouldn't take my life, and I didn't make a mistake.

"Take him away.

Ha.

The ninjas enter, and take the men captive.The water that had been held there disappeared and only Tanasita remained.

"Assembling this information and hearing from Tanasita is... a bit subtle.

"If we can find out, we'll definitely get closer to their target.Conversely, if you don't hear it, the whole island, rather than the city, will be in trouble.

"That's right... let's be careful not to make mistakes and ask questions.

When Lanka unravels the water that was blocking Tanasita's ears and mouth...

"You bastards!

That was the first voice after the water was dissolved.

"Which scum is it?

Do you have any idea how many lives you've lost?

"Ha! How many civilians and people have died, nothing will change!

They're gonna grow anyway!

"... it's not a matter of increasing or decreasing.

Lanka continues her conversation while holding back her anger.

Too much scum and nausea.

As far as Sena was concerned, she was about to pull out her sword and slash it.

"Well, let's continue.

"... I don't talk about anything.No matter how much it hurts.

"Something seems wrong… I don't want to hurt you.

"Ha! That hurt just a while ago, I often say that.

"It wasn't you, it was to break their mouth.

"I haven't heard a lot from them.You will not go beyond the Demon Warriors until the end.

You're watching this island roll over with your fingers.

"Fufufu, I see.That's a shame.

………………

Lanka says that with a smile and a spare time.

Tanashita shows a surprising response to the thought that the reaction will not return.

"It's fine.I was able to ask them everything they needed.

I was about to talk about your treatment.Let him live or kill him. That's all.

"Well, do you think I'd believe that?

They don't know anything.I can't even listen because I don't know.

"Do you really think so?

……………

Tanashita's face looks a little impatient.

He could afford it because he had important information and thought we wanted it.

If you kill him, you won't get the information.Because I knew it, I thought I wouldn't be killed... but if I didn't have the card, I'd change my mind.

"They are demons, and people involved in politics.

I understand how important information is and how important it is to save my life…

You think they're just using it without knowing anything?

"That's a lie. That's a lie.
