Chapter 99 – Episode 99 – Sexy ☆ Raina ☆ Beam!
* Sexy ☆ Raina ☆ Beam!
Orvie.
I wonder if Alex, who was inaugurated as a lord, is indulging in an evil plan again today… Things weren’t going well.
“I don’t know what happened… Tripol, which decided to import drugs, was in an uproar, possibly due to the devil’s army, and the nearby city was also punished by the second prince’s faction… It looks like they haven’t reached this point, but there’s more work to be done here. If you do it, you might get caught… “
With short brown hair and sharp black eyes like a fox, he looks like he’s planning a plan just by looking at him. He is not a normal human being, as he once made a contract with Reina and asked her to kill her father. He also planned to do it cunningly today, but what to do with the territory itself was more difficult than when he formed a band of thieves.
‘More than anything, it’s about creating a land where you can fulfill your desires while avoiding the eyes of the country… As we are on the verge of war, the surrounding atmosphere is tense, and it is difficult to move no matter what we do. If you’re not careful, it would be difficult to be misunderstood as a stooge of the devil’s army and hang yourself. But if I stay like this, I won’t be able to keep what I shared with Raina.’
Her promise to her
Making this land a land of desire in Alex’s eyes and confining Raina there.
You can use your lordship’s privileges to deprive her of her human rights, cut off her limbs, order her not to wear clothes, tie her up with a formal contract… If you make her the most insignificant being in a city full of desires, Reina, who has a desire for destruction, will close her eyes happily as if that were the only thing that has entered her cradle.
But…
“The outlook is dark. Once the war is over and a new system is introduced, the darkness will be eradicated, led by the second prince. I think there is no chance to change this land if not now, but if the most important Tripol falls and that does not happen, the beret they were planning to use is an enemy country. It’s going to be difficult if we don’t find business partners somewhere… But in the current situation, we can’t attract merchants who are moving within the territory…
I laid my head down on the office desk and lamented for a moment that I had more fun when I was a bandit, but I immediately shook my head as if I wasn’t sincere.
『Lord, are you inside?』
Just like that, he reacted to the woman’s voice coming from outside his office.
“I’m there. I’m up. What’s up with you all of a sudden?”
『A guest has arrived.』
“Guest?”
He didn’t even knock on the door and his voice was so flat that it was rude, but he didn’t even care and showed his curiosity.
“What, where and who? I guess no one asked to see me today?”
『He is said to be a merchant from Vere. She says she wants to meet with the lord and talk closely, but what will you do?』
‘Bere… The reason he mentioned that city was because he was a merchant who interacted between the empire and the kingdom… This situation is difficult for the merchants who were acting as intermediate bridges, and it is no wonder that they are nervous, but why did they come to such a remote place… ?’
『─Lord?』
‘… No, whatever. I also wanted to talk to the merchant across the street. I guess I’ll just think of it as a good opportunity.’
Nod.
“Let them in first. As the situation is critical, conduct a thorough body search.”
『I understand.』
The woman’s voice on the other side of the door disappeared and remained silent for a while. Even though he was a lord, he probably didn’t have many employees, so he got up and got into the car himself. He left the position where he was working and sat down on a chair to greet guests. As he was waiting for the other person, a woman who was not very friendly for a maid left a comment, ‘This is Alex’s office.’ The line has left.
“Is this the merchant who wanted to meet me?”
“Yes, Lord Orvie. Given the situation, please forgive me for coming here somewhat rudely.”
A middle-aged man with no notable features was sitting in his seat, wearing thin clothing that had nowhere to hide a weapon. The formal conversation that follows is enough to sting Ales’ ears.
Your name, the place you came from, what kind of business you are a merchant, why you came here…
A perfunctory, perfunctory answer like, ‘This is the situation, so I came here to save some money before something big happens’… Then, when she seemed to have lost her voice, she put the tea to her lips, looked around, and smiled.
“Anyway, it’s really a red room. I don’t know if I can say it like this, but it’s unique… Are you aiming for the throne?”
“It’s my lord’s taste. I’ve modified it as much as I can, but there are limits. It’s a filthy hobby, isn’t it?”
“I don’t think so much… I wonder if it might be a bit flashy…”
The corpses were removed, the floor was repaired, the smell was removed, and all the places that had been decorated with red lights and accessories to resemble a throne were torn down and remodeled, but even so, not everything could be removed. In particular, a lot of red remains on the walls and among the remaining ornaments, which are traces of the past. The unfriendly maid I’m currently writing about also has a twisted feel to it because I’m using the exact same story as the victim of Alex’s father, Lawrence.
“So… That’s enough of trivial talk, let’s move on to the business story. I think the reason I mentioned it as a herb dealer was to see my reaction, but am I wrong?”
“No, that’s not true. I’m sorry for the delay, but my life is at stake, too. But I think it would be easy to talk to Lord Alex, so I’d like to get to the point.”
The merchant smiles with a friendly face. It’s a laugh that Alex’s maids would like to see and learn from.
“I want to sell hallucinogenic and detoxifying herbs in bulk quantities.”
“Let me hear the story.”
This is exactly what Alex wants. The timing is so good that it’s natural to be suspicious, but I can’t help but ask. Although he continues to be on guard, he seems to have anticipated such doubts and first makes excuses.
“The current imperial capital area is in dire straits as demi-humans and monsters suddenly invade the area. Information seems to be blocked here, but the royal family of the empire issued an imperial order to join them, citing a symbiotic relationship and all.”
“So?”
“A symbiotic relationship. It sounds good, but right now there is still discrimination against demi-humans in this country. But suddenly it’s all about monsters and demi-humans… Thanks to this, the inside of the empire is in shambles. Monsters and demi-humans are running amok, and people like us who were dealing with drugs are in trouble. Damage is starting to come to merchants as well, so everyone is leaving.”
“As for customers, even if they are demons, aren’t they merchants who do business with them? I don’t think there’s any reason for them to run away just because they’re monsters and demi-humans.”
“Isn’t that also a story when you have money? Most of them are a bunch of thugs, so looting occurs frequently in remote areas where public security is poor. Now that we are on the verge of war, they are trying to attract soldiers, but security is the worst, so there is no one to stop them. No, even if you try to make them guests, most demi-humans and monsters are resistant to poison, so drugs don’t work well for them.”
In other words, he took off, saying he wasn’t even a guest.
“Where did you hear about me?”
“There is a merchant connected to Tripol, and he came over here and gave me some information. I can’t tell you his name in case you don’t know, but he looks like he has a protruding stomach and is a needless womanizer…”
“… Slave dealer?”
“You know! Yes, it’s him.”
It reminded me of a merchant I often traded with during my bandit days. This is the guy who heard Raina’s moans and left, feeling dumbfounded.
“I came here by bypassing Beret with everything I had, but I wonder if we can make a deal…”
“It’s ambiguous… What I want is a method of growing it. I want to grow the crops myself and make drugs out of it.”
“I also have that information.”
“Oh, can you sell it?”
“I want to get out of this business at this point, so if you buy everything I brought with me…”
‘They’re trying to get rid of all their inventory. The situation only seemed pitiful, but he was, after all, a merchant who sprayed seeds.’
It would be a big expense, but it was exactly what Alex wanted, so I nodded and was about to hold his hand.
『Mr. Alex.』
“What? We’re talking about something important right now. If it’s nothing special, talk about it later.”
『That’s not it.』
“It’s noisy and noisy… Was there a village festival today?”
『No, that’s not it… 』
Boom!
Before I could finish speaking, a loud bang was heard from around the mansion. Alex’s eyes narrowed, and his gaze fell on the merchant in front of him. Aside from the timing, the only person who could have doubts was this person.
“What did you just say?”
『It’s an attack. A group of assassins is wreaking havoc on the mansion.』
“Raid! My carriage is okay, right?! That’s all my property…!!”
‘What, isn’t this a joke?’
Nevertheless, he was genuinely flustered as if it was not a joke from a merchant. Since he came from the empire, it could be said that he was at the forefront of the Demon King’s army, but that wasn’t the case.
“What is the situation? The enemy? If you are going to do anything, report it straight away.”
『It looks like a group of dark elves belonging to the Demon King’s army. The security team is currently fighting, but the opponent’s skills are good, and they will come here soon.』
“Is it that strong? What are the numbers? Hey, why didn’t I just tell you to report straight away instead of talking…!!”
“Sorry. The number is approximately 50… I am watching the situation at the mansion using search magic, but the guards are being swept away like fallen leaves. After all, it might have been better to hire a skilled security guard even if it meant spending money.』
“Don’t talk casually in a situation like this! They just remodeled the building and blocked all the secret paths… Thanks to that, I’m like a rat in a poison!”
『The way I see it, it’s not a situation to make such a fuss about… 』
“… What? What do you mean?”
『I’ll cut off contact for a moment. Please excuse me.』
“Hey, hey! You’re not going to run away, right?! Hey! You cheap maid!”
I know that there is a blunt side to him as he was a victim raised by Lawrence, but I was rather puzzled because he was not the kind of person who would speak in such a tone in a situation like this. The tone is as if reporting on something that has already been completed. I wondered what the situation outside was like, so I calmed down, and the explosion I had just heard quickly subsided.
“I don’t know what happened, but the surroundings seem to have become quiet…”
“You spoke in such a dangerous tone, but you were so carefree… Is something happening in a place that I don’t know about…?”
Just in case, if you carefully go to the window and look down, you will see that the yard of the mansion is caved in and lined with corpses. I didn’t know what was going on as it was so splendidly destroyed that the guards had responded.
‘I can’t see anyone… ‘
That was all I could see from the window. I was feeling eerie because it had been a while since the battle and I couldn’t see anything except corpses. At this time, I heard the sound of something running through the hallway.
‘-Enemies?’
Even though he looks like this, he is the leader of a group of thieves. As I was holding the decorative sword that was hanging on the wall, the door opened with a kick and the enemy broke in.
“Heh! Heh, heh, heh! Heh!”
A black-haired dark elf covered in brown robes. My whole body is covered in scars. The sight of someone rolling forward with their feet out and then looking around is somewhat pitiful.
“Hi?!”
“It seems like an uninvited guest. I don’t remember ever accepting a scruffy bastard like you as a guest.”
When the merchant hid behind the sofa and Alex pulled out his sword, the dark elf only saw Alex in his eyes. Since he didn’t come into sight right away, he seemed like he was being chased by something and had no time to spare.
“Yes, yes, you are Alex Orvie, the lord of this place! I am the leader of the Black Fog, a group of assassins belonging to the Demon King’s army…! I came to get you!”
“I don’t know what happened, but seeing as you’re so tired, I’m not scared! Just sit there! I’ll make you some tea myself!”
“You brat leader! Don’t waste your time! Your life is at stake here!”
Chang!
‘Ugh, I wonder what the situation is… ‘
The sword Alex pulled out shattered right away. Even so, the user of the decorative sword was a thief, and the opponent was a real assassin who rolled in the mud… Even though he had won, the dark elf assassin hurriedly turned around and put the dagger to the nape of his neck. His nervousness was conveyed to Alex and made him colder.
“Whoo… Whoo… Whoo… Whoo… Hey, you must be there! Come out! You monster bitch!”
He shouted at the door he had kicked in, holding Alex hostage, and soon all questions were answered.
That… That…
That… That…
I saw a red-haired monster quietly appearing under the red lamp that still had the taste of the former lord…
“Hey, my dear darling-♡”
“Reina… Indeed, how come everyone was so calm…”
“If I came, there would be nothing to be afraid of, right?”
“Beyond that, it’s excessive power. Why is the assassin trembling like a newly born deer?”
Since not much time had passed since we broke up, there was no saying that it had been a long time. The same goes for Raina, who wore the bunny girl outfit he gave her and acted like her friend who had just come to visit yesterday. Among them, the dark elf assassin was the only one who seemed to have lost her composure.
“Why are you here? How did you know in the first place! Where did Mr. Sloth’s plan come into play?!”
“No, no no~! Think about it! You guys have always been like that, right?”
“What did you do!”
“Taking our precious people hostage and threatening them! What a disgusting circle pattern! Wow, it’s stupid, but effective… Thanks to that, the hero ended up like that… If there was a next time, I thought it would be mine this time, so I came back for a short time as a homecoming. Oh, I never dreamed I’d meet you like this on that day!”
“You’re returning home just in time for our attack. I wonder if that’s such a coincidence!”
“It’s because of such coincidences that our party survived. Well, even if we think about it, it’s irrational luck. It makes us wonder if there’s a god watching from somewhere. So, does escaping from the empire this time seem like a miracle?”
She laughed and said that similar things had happened during the war with the Demon King’s army, and as she approached, she pushed her blade deeper to scare Raina, who was taking a step closer.
“Don’t move! If you move even one more step, this man’s life is gone!”
“Wasn’t your purpose to kidnap Alex and threaten me? But if you kill him, that’s the end.”
“Would you like to know? My life comes first!”
“But if you really kill me, you’ll just die to me, so isn’t it the same in the end?”
“Even so…! No, don’t try to buy time by saying that! I’m not fooled!”
“Oh, is that so? Then, since I can’t get closer, will you just look into my eyes right then and there?”
“What are your eyes-“
“──Sexy ☆ Raina ☆ Beam!”
At that moment, Raina’s eyes shine, and a beam shines from her eyes!
“Mut?! Mbuhoaaaaa!!!!!”
My head pops-☆
Hooddudddddddddddduk-!!
“Yuck!”
“That damn bitch really…”
The dark elf was holding Alex hostage, with only his head blown off. His brain matter was scattered, his eyes were rolling on the floor, and Alex, who was right next to him, was not only covered in blood, but the (former) dark elf was stuck to his head.
“Sexy Rayna Beam! Effect! If hit, the opponent dies! Instead, I have to condense the breath into the eyeballs and tear ducts and charge it, so it hurts a lot too!!”
The idiot dragon, who suddenly shot a beam from his eyes, saying it was the best for hostage rescue or surprise attack, laughed while rubbing the smoke rising from his eyeballs with the back of his hand, and only Alex, who was covered in blood and was in a grotesque state, gritted his teeth.
“Are you really human…”
“Ugh, I’m a human, so of course I’m a dragon!!”
“Do you think there’s another dragon like you? You’re so damn… Uncivilized… You crazy bitch with your head turned…”
“I did my best to save you. Wouldn’t it be nice if I praised you?”
“Please go out and die… You fucking bitch…”
With his eyes closed, blood dripping from his forehead and down the bridge of his nose…
The dead body of the dark elf whose head exploded right next to him was still holding onto Alex, and this cannot be described in words as unpleasant. In this case, it would have been 100 times better to have been kidnapped, he said. Reina was upset and refused to help him, so he had to stand with the corpse for a while until the maids came back.
It’s been a while since I met you… A reunion that doesn’t seem like it’s been a long time…
In this strange atmosphere, only the unrelated merchant was crying, but no one cared.
