Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Episode 368 Zaraine (2)

I know very well how frustrated and irritated I am several times.

"Even though your husband said so, I will not point the blade at you.But... even if I keep on hanging out with that lunatic... "

"It's been half a month... maybe it's time to give up the discussion with Zana..."

If you can extract any information from Zana, it will make sense in about half a month... but there's not much time left for Zana alone.I told Heine that I would definitely pull out the information, but I wouldn't dress up, but I would need a line pull.

"Next time Heinez and the others come back, we'll discuss what to do about Zana."

"Let's do that..."

Nil and I made that decision with a little regret... but then I noticed a gaze coming from behind.

"Hmm?!"

I look straight back at him, but there's nobody there but Zana.

……………………

Zana just stares at the void with her eyes as closed as I've ever looked back.However, the current gaze is not a mistake.

"Master...?"

"... Nil. Apparently our patience was not in vain."

I get closer to Zana, bend my knees in front of me, and keep my gaze high.

"Hey Zana, how long have you been out of your mind?"

"Ah... uhh... uhh..."

Looks as crazy as ever.A boulder is a genius con artist.If I hadn't noticed his gaze, I would never have noticed that this man was regaining his sanity.

"He was really good at acting, but he was distracted.You didn't think I'd notice your gaze? "

…………………

Zana turns her gaze back on my words and turns towards me.

"How long have you been sane?"

……………………

Zana's eyes are sane to answer my questions silently.To be precise, Zaraine seems to be more effective than ever.

"... ghihi... two days ago..."

"I see. Well, that doesn't matter.I think we can finally have a conversation. "

"You wanted to talk to me that much? Ghihi...."

The first person has changed to me, not me, and the tone has been corrected.It seems that this is the personality that approximates the true appearance of Zana.

Like Zana, Nil and I were surprised in our hearts, but we wouldn't put it on our faces.

"Well, there's a lot to ask."

"Do you think he'll talk?"

"I don't talk... no, is it right to say I can't talk?I wonder if you're also magically bound? "

"Ghihi... I guess I'm not stupid."

Zana has a reluctant attitude and is confident that she will never speak.Even if you hurt yourself, if you don't talk, you can say confidently because what you lose by talking is your life.In other words, Zana has a death contract with someone.Well, I knew someone was getting it when I was soaked in medicine, so this is what I expected.

When he thought he might be killed, he made us realize he was sane.If we find ourselves sane, we can't kill Zana to get information.I dared to create such a situation.A man of wisdom.

Sure, me and Nil want information from this guy.I mean, you can't kill him easily.Until we get a good lead...

If this happens, it means that Zana's operation will be followed... but it doesn't mean Zana will be saved anyway.And yet, why does this man have so much room for manners...?Now that you're out of your mind, does that mean your head is broken?Or is there any chance that it might help...?

"Ghihihihi...."

"Shit, you're a nasty bastard..."

Zana and I laughed ugly at Nil even though she said she was in an advantage.

Nil and I will talk a little bit away from Zana.

"Master, would you like to hurt me a little?"

"... no, you're wasting your time.Know your situation and act on it.If it hurts a little, I won't break my mouth. "

So, what do you want to do?

I don't know if Zana is sane, but she abandoned her friends and ran away.It's impossible to extract information about your men as bait.In the first place, they are like people who are seeding the misfortunes of others, so it makes no sense to bring others into contact.

Your life is guaranteed if you don't give up information.

When this happens, you'll need something to extract information from...

"Master, why don't you flick the cigar?"

"Zaraine's cigar?"

"Yes, Zana always seemed to want Zaraine after the effects had expired.I think it would be quite a mental attack just to flick it in front of you. "

It's one of the hands I've been thinking about... Nil has come to know what psychological attacks are.No, I've lived in a world like that, so I'm sure you understood.You would be right to say that you learned how to do that to others.But... that's not a very complimentary technology.If you think about Nil and me, I might praise Nil, but I think it is the greatest happiness that I can live without this kind of technology.

With unspeakable emotions, I take out the cigars I took from Zana.

Once it gets wet in water, it becomes jazzy, but the sweet fragrance still remains.

"This is a delicate place to talk, but should I use something that I can use?"

"Yes."

I'll get a cigar and go back to Zana.

"I told you I wouldn't talk. Ghihi..."

Confident Zana. Very angry, but let's go calmly here.

I see.

I'll drop a cigar in front of Zana.

"Hmm?!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, my hands slipped."

The moment I saw the cigar, I could see that Zana's eyes had changed.He wants this cigar so badly that he can't act.

What's wrong?

"... hah! When I show you something like that, nothing will change!"

"Looks like your voice is trembling and upset."

………………

Zana seems to be talking to me, but her gaze is nailed to the cigar.

"If we have any useful information, I will return it to you."

…………………

"Hey, are you listening?"

"Hmm?!"

Zana finally responded to my words, but she can't afford it.

"... you want to smoke?"

"Ha! You don't want to smoke!There's no need for that! "

"Really? Then we don't need it, either, and we throw it away."

"Nh!!"

"What is it? Is there something you want to say?"

"Yes, it's very expensive."

"Really? But once it gets wet in the water, it's useless, right?"

"That's not true!"

Huh.

Zana raps a lot, and her mouth goes round and round.

"Zaraine can't get wet enough!Don't throw my stuff away! "

"This looks like a lot of anger.Do you want to smoke so much? Dependency is scary. "

"I'm not an addict!"

Dependent people often don't recognize themselves as dependent.You know it from the bottom of your heart, but if you talk about it, it just falls off.That's what you think.When I couldn't get out, it was already falling...

"Either way... if you want to talk, you can give him back. What do you think?"

"I don't need that. Get lost!"

"Well, think about it carefully."

I leave the cigar in front of Zana.

If there is a substitute in front of you that makes you want to smoke and go crazy, you will change your mind.

Nil and I will observe Zana and the cigar a little further away.

At first it was Zana who was meditating without looking at the cigar, but I wondered if she really cared. After a while, she turned her eyes away from the cigar and began to repeat.

After a while, the next time I try to move my whole body and touch a cigar that I can't reach.

When this happened, all I had to do was observe Zana try to smoke a cigar somehow.

"... you look like a vain life."

Nil's relentless remark sees Zana desperately approaching a cigar.

"I don't know what happened to Zaraine, but if it was the black dog, he might be a victim in a way.Well, that's why I'm not going to forgive you. "

"You're a sad man.If you could find another way to live like me, you might have had a better way of life. "

"Such a winner would not be a bandit."

I dare not mention Nil's survival, and I rise to the point that it is time for Zana's patience to be at its limit.

"You've worked hard, Zana."

"Eh!?"

If he had been as normal as we were observing, he would have understood right away.

"What do you think? Are you ready to talk?"

"I told you not to talk! Get out!"

There's plenty of room in Zana's face.If you shake it this way, Zana will fall close.

"Master."

Nil calls me and sends a gaze behind me.Looks like Heine and Pilte are back.

"Nil, thank you for a moment."

"Yes, leave it to me."

Leave Zana to Nil, and I'll head back to Heine and Pilte.

"Mr. Sinya."

"Hi, Pilte. Good day. How was it this time?"

Heine and Pilte laughed at me.

"Actually, I got a little information."

"We've finally got results!It just got a little rough... but I've been as calm as I can, so it's okay. "

I don't know if the words... as calmly as possible... are what I think they are, but... if Pilte is okay, I'll believe it...

At least he doesn't seem to be chasing me, and he's got to have a little skirmish. Maybe...

"Thank you for that.So, what kind of information is that? "

"About the aristocrats who would have arranged Zaraine."

"Hey, that would be the earliest core.Aren't you on the level? "

"No, I don't understand the core."

"Hmm? Then what do you know?"

"Recently, the family name of the nobleman who dealt with Zaraine is Fujorde.

I don't know if an aristocrat named Fujorde arranged Zaraine. "

"But you definitely bought and sold Zaraine, right?"

"Yes, that's for sure.But that's just a story in a city or village around here.You can buy it from somewhere else, and I don't even know if this Jorde is helping. "

"I see... but there's plenty of possibilities.Maybe I could put a sickle on Zana... "

"Has he gone insane?"

"It's subtle if you're sane, but now you can talk to the point where the conversation is over."

"That's superimposed. How about that?Something to talk about? "

"It's time to feed on Zaraine and hunt down the spirit.It was really just now that I realized that he was ready to talk.I knew I wasn't going to be killed, and I was being very arrogant.

When I showed Zaraine the cigar, I didn't think I could afford it anymore...

Something's hooking me up... "

"What do you care?"

"Zana is in a state where she can't escape without being killed.Even in that state, for some reason, I'm showing some room... "

"Are you sure you can escape?"

"I don't know... I don't know if all my men are destroyed, and I was wondering if it was connected to spare time, but I felt something different."

"... should we join forces and be on alert?"

"I see... it would be helpful if you could do that."

I am very concerned about the nobleman named Fujorde.I'm curious… because it's likely to be a trap, I decided that I should stop Heine and the others from investigating because if I sniff around too much, I might get into trouble myself.

Given the size of the Hunters Rarabai, the nobleman named Fujorde is undoubtedly a nobleman of great power.If you move without knowing anything, you will be unable to move.Before that, I want to get information from Zana.

"Okay, then, our investigation is on hold.

Pilte. Let's start with a nearby safety check.Don't miss anything. "

Yes!

Heine and Pilte leave the area to check on the safety of the surroundings.

If Zana's leeway was based on the idea that someone could help her, she probably thought that someone was around…

I will return to Nil and tell him that a nobleman named Fujorde is involved and plans for the future so that Zana doesn't hear me.

"Okay, so for a while, you're going to focus on dropping Zana."

Ah.

"... Master, may I ask you one thing?"

"Hmm? What?"

"It was Zana's castle… were they really the best of Noble?"

"... Nil was worried too."

"... yes, Zana's arms were quite good, so I felt that the difference with my men was too big...

No matter how much of Zana was created as the apex, it is too weak.

To protect Zana... or to protect Noble, without more skilled people, our very survival would be in jeopardy... "

A castle where 300 people gathered.With Zana there, I'm pretty sure most of Noble's men were in the castle.However, even with noble bandits who don't need combat power, if they can't fight at all except Zana, they won't be considered bandits at first sight in Hunters Rabai...?I was thinking about it too.

Besides, it can also be said that the main business is aristocratic bandits, and the skilled ones were away from the castle to do their work.In other words, the people who stand up with their arms are different from the people in the castle.

"Had that been expected, there might be a raid soon..."

"Depends on how many there are… do you want to move the location?"

"That's right...."

Shinya-san!

Heine and Pilte came back in a hurry thinking about relocating their base. You're home early.

"Did you find anything?"

"Yes. Just west of here, there were traces of some campers."

"I wonder how far you've come... I've been looking around..."

"I hid it well, so I shouldn't have noticed.We wouldn't have noticed without the burning smell of the fire. "

"I don't know how many people were there..."

"Yeah, it could be a big crowd, it could be one."

"The smell of burning means the enemy is close.....

I was thinking of relocating the base… but it would be more dangerous if we were so close.I want to avoid being targeted on the move. "

"Isn't there a line called Black Dog, not Zana's?"

"That's not true. If you were a black dog, you wouldn't even leave a burning smell."

It's a black dog that keeps chasing us, but we've never seen a black dog's trail.They won't leave such a simple trail.

"When that happens, it seems good to think that Zana's men survived."

"Yeah, but it's a good chance.Let's go carefully. "

"I don't know what Zana expects, but I'll show you something."

We gave up the transfer and decided to pick it up. We'll get ready soon.Trap, line up, and hide Zana.

"Ghihihi... no matter how hard you try, there's no way you can beat them... Ghihihi..."

Whatever. Besides, they're not alone.

Zana's noise will ruin our operation, so cover it with a soundproof wind and keep it quiet.

"You know Zana's with us, and we're pretty close to the fire.It's supposed to be tonight.It's time for the sun to set. Let's tighten up. "

Yes!

After Pilte and Nil have both responded well, they will each move to their place of assignment.

Soon thereafter the book of the night will descend.

There is no light because I don't want my enemies to know where I am.For that reason, Heine and Pilte's eyes depend on it.

Nil and I are going to join after the battle begins.

Tension floats in the dark, in the woods where nothing can be heard but the voice of insects.

"Gwah!!"

"Gyah!!"

Someone screams in the quiet forest.

Apparently Heine and Pilte are using the darkness to attack their enemies.Nil and I don't see each other at all, but the battle has already begun.

From the cry of the enemy, I can understand the position of the enemy to some extent, but the others do not speak each other, and I do not know where they are at all.The difference between those in the castle and the cloud mud.
