Wolf Barrel 5.56

From the gap between the trees, the starry sky peeks.

Under the beautiful and brilliant stars - there was a filthy discussion going on.

Beautiful stuff is up, shit is down. Wherever you go, this rule remains the same.

"Bruno, come on"

When I was called to talk about something important, I went to Cerios with Lau, who was also called. Slope lowlands, quite far from the troops. Depth is about 3m. Bring it in for a secret conversation.

Surprisingly, Celios did not bring Pedro. Shut up and face Lau. I would have let you chase your own ass like a kogamo at any given time. How much I don't want you to hear, or 'for insurance'?

I only had a bad feeling.

And I get that feeling a lot.

Celios brought a certain 'suggestion' when we got it all together.

Tomorrow morning, we raid a bunch of those carriages.

Aim is not loading. The purpose of Cerios is to...

This unit is completely destroyed.

I bit my umbilicus to keep it out of my face.

I came when I scouted that hill, and it turned out to be the worst scenario.

Celios continued his conversation pale with a missing eye of emotion reminiscent of a deep well.

Returning to the organization like this will not absolve Pedro of redemption where he has elucidated how much. Because there are 20 witnesses alive. In front of the other executives, it's impossible for the boss to forgive Pedro. Waiting is death. There's no way Cerios wants such a future.

So what are we gonna do?

Easy.

All you have to do is kill an inconvenient person.

Initial prospects said he intended to hit the Cannibal State Border Guard with this force to reduce the number and poison the rest. But I got lucky, no, I got unlucky, I slipped across the border, and I walked into a trail by myself.

You can't take forceful measures. You're going to deal with 19 people, and me and Lau, essentially Celios alone. It's impossible. As we wriggle our hands like that, the time limit is imminent.

For Celios, a pack of Lucca was the last card to come down and gush.

In short, I want to seal my mouth so I can help.

……

I look at Cerios in frigidity.

So much talk with Bella Bella in the belly to make her trust this one? It's too naive and the other way around it is like wanting to look behind you. But that's all I can take off the feathers.

Well, fine.

I waited to separate the conversation and then asked what I cared most about.

"So, what are you going to do with us?

"If anything happens, go away. If you don't even show up before me again, this one won't imitate wild either. I promise you that. And I'm going to have a lot of money on hand."

"Are you sure? Keep us alive."

"You're not stupid enough to say inadvertent words and strangle yourself, are you?

Well, you sure are.

If you blow it poorly, the Manuke Yakuza family, who killed the boss's daughter in a whorehouse, will come running their eyes bloody. And doing that won't do me any good.

Celios connects stories with an emotionally invisible look.

"Keep going back to the organization, you idiot. Honestly, it's not gonna be a lot of money, is it? It wouldn't even be enough to set up a brother-in-law. You guys are disposable. I think we should make a smart choice."

You're a perfectly good business man.

I know. I just brought these guys home like this, and all I get is a contract reward, and I get about as much change as a tin piss. It's stupid to poke at this guy for something like that. Conversely, you get a lot of money just by letting your men die.

I don't even need to think about which one to get.

……

Lough, standing beside him, kept his mouth shut to see how I got out. When you look sideways, you give me the choice.

After much reticence,

"Fine."

I briefly said yes.

The tone also reverts from the previous polite to the original. That was an indication of willingness to abandon its previous position.

Lough is turning his eyes round in quite a bit. I suppose you thought you'd disagree. It was the same for Cerios, with a slight surprise on his face like the neck of the mannequin he had made. So is that. Because it's about 'flushed by emotion and considering the possibility of taking my brother hostage'.

Cerios tells me to suspect.

"That's pretty light. Didn't you have an attachment?

I give it back in a cold cut voice.

"That's just what I set out for. You can do the same thing if you want to, right?

"Well indeed," Cerios nods as he agrees.

"And you haven't forgotten?

"What?"

Eyebrows like they stick on me bounce pickly.

"Me and you, you're a dark elf."

"Do you have anything else to think about besides your own interests?

What Cerios presented as a reward was a grain of treasure, hidden in the knife's patterned head.

Bloody Eye is a monstrous diamond that mixes blood. A type of magic ore that is refined in the body, such as demons that live deep in the underground labyrinth.

It boasts a magnificent accumulation value that is not comparable to a common magic crystal and is used primarily in the core (nucleus) of luxury weapons and magic instruments.

Bloody Eye, in the hands of Celios, was decorated like a wire worker. That's not just a decoration, it's a device for preventing outbursts. If that hardware breaks, the perimeter will blow up 50 meters.

Even if I flushed it to the dark route at the bottom, it would be a lot of gold.

Me and Lau were finally convinced by the terms and the deal was concluded.

There is no contract because it is a deal with Yakuza.

Incidentally, we exclude the possibility that Celios will betray us at the end. This guy is not that stupid. Even if it strikes a surprise, 'Lau has hidden balls'. There's no stopping Lau except for Celios ramming Brady Eye for a co-fall. This man is not foolish enough to make the wrong choice to spare money.

We took care of tomorrow's meeting and broke it up first.

Me and Lau, we're going to have to kick and move our guys' asses and get to the raid point. I can't use my horse, so I'm marching all night. Now, I'm figuring out how to tell my men.

"So, what's the real deal?

Until then, Lau had not uttered a word and asked.

It's like you're saying you want it to be.

I blinked a lot of eyes and surprised him.

"What's wrong? It's not even like you. Does it hurt your conscience?

"Hey, don't tear it up."

There's no sign of anyone but us around. Will it be okay if we get this far?

I dropped my voice for caution and explained 'another plan' I was working on in my head. Having finished listening, Lau grinned with a nymphomaniac smile on its stern face, poking her shoulder small.

"What's in your interest, you bastard?"

"Don't put it on your face. Celios has a good nose."

"Oh, my God."

While I take Lau, I walk toward the troops.

Before you know it, there is strength in the bottom of your belly.

The kind of guy who gets emotionally flushed and misselects is an idiot. Then I'm an idiot. Anyway...

Tomorrow is the day.

"Aniki, what am I gonna do, me, me, I'm gonna stay like this?"

There was a pitiful cry in the space where we paid people and were alone.

Pedro frowned and stuck to me. There was no busy color on that face, only anxiety and childhood. The moment I saw that look, I felt a sense of fullness similar to pleasure, like warm water filling a chilled iron vessel in my chest.

I sigh one thing, and I squeeze that hair.

"Don't worry. I'll figure it out."

Say that quietly so as to calm you down.

"Me... I don't want to. Hey."

"I'm fine. You won't let me die."

"Oh, but hey."

I'll wipe the tears from later on with my hands.

I'll stay a child at all times.

When I made him look up, I stuck my forehead against Pedro's forehead and peered into his eyes from up close. And as I spoke directly to my heart, I slowly uttered words.

"Don't cry. You're nothing wrong. That woman who laughed at you is bad. You did the right thing. So don't worry. Everything will be back to normal when tomorrow is over. Let's go home."

"Back to me... back to me"

"Oh yeah. Let's go home together."

I looked into the void, stroking my trembling brother's shoulder.

Don't worry.

You're the only one I can protect at any cost.
