Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Episode 370 Fujorde
The three people we caught have already had their blood sucked many times, and whatever the probability, their memories will have been read.
"From everything I've seen, it looks like you don't have any other useful information.It seems that only Zana had all the important information. "
It didn't seem wrong that Noble was Zana's one-man manager.In the end, I didn't even give important information to the last people to rely on.No, after all, if you think you didn't pass us over, maybe you're smart... but you're lonely.
"Well... if you can't get the information anymore, you don't have to keep it alive, so let's get rid of it.It's mine. "
"No."
As with Nil, I tried to deal with Heineken and Pilte as usual because I didn't want Heineken and Pilte to kill the irresistible, but Heineken stopped it strongly.
"Apart from Niru-chan being Sinya's partner, we cannot rely on Sinya there.No, I don't think so. "
Heine has no idea what she's trying to say.
No matter how many pans you lose, no matter how close you get, Heine and I will never be more connected than Nil.That's what I know for myself.
Me and Nil, Heine and Pilte. There is such a delimitation.
And that we and Heine are allies fighting together to save the demonic world.There must be no vertical relationships other than as a party leader.That's because it's not a fight, it's the earliest shelter.
"I can't just leave it up to Sinya and the others.We have a duty to do the same. "
"Your mother is right. We'll take care of those men."
"... okay, then I'll leave it to you."
They're trying to be them and build relationships with us.In that case, it would be better for each other to build relationships in the same direction than to say so.
Leave the three men to themselves, and when they come back, go back to Zana.Perhaps this will be the last conversation with Zana.
………………
Even after returning to sanity, Zana regularly developed withdrawal symptoms, screamed, tried to outrun, and said things she didn't understand.When it calmed down, most of the time, it was stunned with impatient eyes, and it is still in that state.I wonder if I can say that I'm alive now.
"Hey."
Pacify!
Slightly slap Zana's cheek in order to turn her consciousness towards us.
…………………
Zana looks at us, but do you understand what she's looking at...?
I do it when it is very firm, but it is always like this when there are mountains and the timing is bad.
Bashabasha!!
"... huh?!"
When Nil sprays water generated by water magic over her head, her eyes focus on it.I'm slow to react, but I think I'm back.
"Looks pretty spicy."
"Uuuuuuuuuu...."
I'm trying to be rebellious, but I don't feel intimidated at all because I'm not feeling too well.
"Well, it's time for us to move on.I don't have time for you all the time.I'm going to make this my last chance to talk.
If you don't tell me anything, I'll have you die here.
But if you're going to tell us something useful... let's do this. "
I'll give you a cigar.Sweet scent. Zaraine cigar.It's a genuine, brand new cigar, not the Yoreyole cigar I showed Zana before.
"Nh!!"
He instructed Heine and Pilte to show Zana how they dared to take the three of them out.The three men who were taken out leaving Zana are not with Heine and Pilte, who have returned.You know exactly what that means because you're a bandit.
With the three of them gone, Zana was helpless, and the spirit that was trying to preserve herself collapsed.Therefore, Zana can't afford to look at the cigar and make her eyes shine.
"Yes, give it to me! Please!"
"I told you. If only I could speak properly..."
"What do you want to hear?!"
It's like everybody knows that dependency is hard... but I didn't expect you to be so obedient...
Nil said that there was an old slave companion who became dependent and started to do anything, but I'm sure it was really anything...
"About Hunters Larrabay, about Balabanta, about the Black Dog."
"Black dog?"
"The names may not be the same, but there are people who have come into contact with Hunters Rabbi recently, right?"
"I don't know what they call black dogs... I'm sorry, but I can't talk about black dogs or varabanta.You won't be able to suck it if you talk. "
"... you can talk about Hunters Rabbi, right?"
What do you want to know?
"Anything."
"... there are five major bandits in Hunters Rabbi, including us Noble."
"Five... a lot."
"No matter how strong you guys are, there's no chance of winning from the beginning... ghihihi..."
"... what do you know about the remaining four bandits?"
"The names of the bandits are Puppet, Fear, Handyman, and Tempest."
Fear of the puppet, anything, and the emperor... Tempest in particular is too much for the bandits.
"Puppet is a slave bandit, Fear is a murder bandit, Handyman is a bandit who pays for anything, and Tempest is..."
"Bandits in Balabanta."
"That's what it is."
"What are the names of the people in charge?"
"The head of the puppet is the Minor of Frenzy.Fear's leader is Ganatharis the slayer.The Handyman is headed by Rox the Gold. "
There seems to be something like a street name for each.It's a really embarrassing street name... but I think it's anchored as a word for a specific person.Same name, eh!so that It's the same as "2-chome" when you say "2-chome people."
Among the adventurers, some of the talented have something like that, which is normal in this world.
"What are they like?"
"I don't know. It's almost impossible to face each other.Basically, it's an arrangement that doesn't interfere with each other... ghihi... "
You don't look like you're lying.I don't think I can afford to act, and it's probably true.
Is there a relationship between the bandits that would prevent the area of activity from being affected...?Or is Noble out of bed nets...
"Don't you know the area of activity?"
"All I know is that the Handyman's area of activity is northwest of here.I don't know about the rest... hey, that's enough!Give it to me! "
"Not yet. I still need to ask you something."
"There's nothing to talk about anymore! Come quick!!"
Though I thought I had become quite obedient, Zana, who couldn't stand it anymore, ran her eyes bloody and screamed as she spat.
"Not yet. Finally, I'd like to ask you about the man who arranged Zaraine."
"... I don't know. I'm just a nobleman."
I immediately realized that this was a lie.It's not even an act.
"Fujorde."
"Hmm?!"
"Well, which nobleman means Fujorde, right?"
"You said you didn't know."
"Isn't that the kind of guy who would take shelter?Or... are you afraid of retaliation? "
"Fuck, I don't know anything."
Is this like going through something I don't know...?
I look at Zana's face and it says I will never talk to her.Why do you cover so much?I don't honestly think Heine would be afraid to know what she told me.Zana is a man who has been cheating on his noble opponents.If you're afraid of retaliation, you won't be able to commit a noble bandit.
I want Zaraine so much, and I wonder if there's any other reason to hide it...
I wonder if that's why Zaraine doesn't talk.
If we betray Fujorde here, it will be very difficult to get Zaraine.That way, Zana will lose her path to Zaraine.Are you afraid of that?
"... is Zaraine's path so important?"
……………………
Silence can be affirmative, Bingo.
Even so, he's such a pathetic man.He still thinks there's a way to save himself.
I'm worried about the access route because it's premised on us being released alive.Well, if you don't talk, I'll kill you, if you talk, I'll kill Zaraine, and if you don't, it's to make you think that you might be alive, and I made you think that on purpose...
If I had a normal judgment, I would have known I'd be killed anyway.After all, things like Zaraine can be a waste of people in many ways.
"... okay? If you don't talk, I'll tell Fujorde about the deal you made with him?"
"Hmm?!"
"Then, of course, Jorde won't stop the deal and forgive you."
"You bastard...."
He stares at me with an amazing figure, but it is his fault that I was messing around.
"Talk and I'll shut you up."
…………………
"I see. I'm sorry."
I'm going to put Zaraine in a waist bag.
"Well, wait! Okay! I'll talk!"
"Tell me everything, everything you know."
"Hmm... Fujorde is the lord who rules the town of Janoya, which is northwest of here."
"Janoya..."
It's the name of a city I've heard of in Rangebi.I hear it's a pretty big city.If you were a lord of such a city, you would have considerable power and wealth.
"I've never met him. I don't know your face or your voice.But I only know his family crest. "
Family crest?
"If you killed one of my men, you'd know.There must have been some people carving similar marks on their bodies. "
"That mark."
There were some of the bandits.They're the ones with the "Σ" tattoos.
"That's one of Fuyolde's men... uhihihihi..."
I mean, we killed Zana because we thought he was one of them, but he was actually one of them.Some of them were acting with Zana's men, so it's probably more like a loaned soldier… than a direct report to Fujorde.
"You turned Fujorde into an enemy... ghihi..."
I'm sure he turned a big aristocrat into an enemy, but he's a bandit in the first place.I've decided to deal with Hunters Rabbi, so I'm sure I'll bump into him somewhere.You might say it's inevitable.
If you think positively... it would have been lucky to find such a scumbag nobleman before the war with the Knights of the Holy Order.
If these guys come into the big alliance, there's more friction everywhere.That said, wars cost money, and the help of nobles should be essential.Exclusion of all scum nobles can be very disadvantageous in financial terms.Then, of course, we will lose the war.
In order not to do so, it is necessary to pull out funds well, but to put them in a less important, influential position, so that they can be well controlled.
I don't know the details, but I think the kings of each tribe and the people around them are doing well.However, whether it is a scum nobleman or not is subtly hidden so that it is not obvious from a little research.I am a virtuous aristocrat!There's no normal guy who waves his hand.Some of them are like that, but most of them are like gold, or the seven lights of their parents.The man who goes up there to be called the Grand Noble lives so well.
I know one of those guys who's alive so well, I guess I'll take it as a plus.If you really want to stand in our way, then we'll have to take care of it... but if there's a letter from the King, it'll make you look like a boulder.
"It doesn't matter.What else do you know? "
"I don't know. I don't need to know anything else."
"... I see."
As far as I'm concerned, he's a pretty big nobleman, and I think he's working with the Hunters Rabbi rather than just Noble.
I regret not being able to extract my memories from the people with the tattoo of Σ, but there is nothing I can do now.Next time I get a chance, I'll ask Heine and Pilte to read my memories.
"Enough!? Please!"
Zana, who wants to smoke Zaraine quickly, is staring at my cigar while drooling.
We have everything we need first.I didn't know about varabanta in the boulders, but I was able to learn about the breakdown of hunters' larabai and the involvement of the nobility of Fujorde.There are still opaque parts, but that's the limit to what Zana can ask.
"Yes, it's about time."
I'll put a cigar in Zana's mouth and use my magic to set it on fire.
"Ahh....."
Zana stares at the cigar and fire with her gentle eyes.
As the fire approaches the tip of the cigar, it breathes heavily and sends smoke into the lungs.
"Ahhhhh......"
Sweet smelly smoke slowly leaks out of your mouth and nose.
"... uuu!"
Just before Zana tried to smoke again, she twisted her face and suffered.
"Oh, you... gosh, gosh, gosh, gosh!"
Zana coughs up and throws up a lot of blood.
"I can't help but breathe Zaraine when I'm dying. Isn't that what you want?"
The new Zaraine cigar was acquired by Heine and Pilte when they went to various cities to gather information.I thought it might be useful for something, so I got a few.
Then, in one of the cigars, I mixed the spores of the mushrooms that bloom in the woods of the mycelium.
Chickpea mushrooms are an instant and powerful poison.I inhaled it with all my heart, so this is natural.
"Kill... huh?! Gopo gopo!"
I try to speak, but the blood that comes out blocks the airway and makes a sound, not a voice.
The area around Zana's mouth, chin (jaw) and neck are dyed bright red.
Zana used to talk to me, so I gave Zaraine a reward and then I let her go? No way.
This man is a man who worked as a fraud and killed a guard.In addition to the crime, there have been many injuries.If there's a reason to kill, it's rotten, but there's no reason to keep him alive.
"I'll put out the fire."
Ju!
I use my magic to put out the fire that arrived at the cigar.
By the way, Nil is magically protecting us from smoke right after the ignition.
"I'm afraid of a fire."
For Zana, I dare say something that doesn't matter in order to humiliate her.It may be easier to die for someone called the Great Villain, but the end of life that has been deceived is not bad because it ends with deception.
"Gopo......"
Zana spits out her blood and stares at her with a grudging face.But I'm not going to go out with you.He immediately cut his gaze and stood up.Don't let your opponent hate you, you'll die of loneliness.
Some breath still remains, but the poison is already all over the body and remains tied up on top of it.Survival is impossible.We leave Zana alone and leave.Even if it's undead, it's near where Noble was based.People hardly come in, and since it is a place full of monsters, there is no change to the extent that the number of undead has increased.
"You've given me a lot of information."
Heine, Pilte, and Nil stayed with me, but I left everything to Zana.Heine suggested and I accepted that it would be better to leave it to me than to talk to the four of us.
Heine's proposal is to consider the complexity of the information.
"That's all, Zaraine's effect is strong.It's a pretty dangerous medicine. It's a drug-influenced conversation, so I don't know how far to believe it, but it's not a big deal of information, and I'm sure you'll be able to get it straight away. "
"Yes, we'll look into that.
Still... when I saw Zana, I got Zaraine, but she didn't want to use it at all.I don't want to use it anyway. "
"Whatever happens, don't use it."
"I know. No, absolutely not."
Ah.
No, absolutely not. Heinez and the others will be fine because we preached. Definitely not.
"Nevertheless... I found out it was Fujorde who provided Zaraine to Zana, but does it have anything to do with the black dog?"
"You should think about it.Zana seemed to know about the black dog, and found out that Hunters Larrabee and the black dog were connected.Then, in time, we should assume that the black dog crossed to Fujorde, from Fujorde to Zaran. "
"It's the richest possibility you have right now to keep your memories from reading, right?"
"That's right. That's a good way to do it.I can see from the outside that Fujorde is medicating Zana and trying to manipulate her as he pleases.It's a trick that people who don't know about black dogs don't notice. "
"That's a nasty way to do it..."
"That's a smart way to do it.We can hide ourselves.It's like a black dog. "
"You're such a pain in the ass.I will definitely have you pay for this one day. "
