Chapter 383 – 33. Turning the Country Upside Down
“It has become ridiculous.”
“…”
“It’s such a pity that you played a prank and then ran away like this…”
“I know very well, ugh. Could you be a little quiet?”
“Heh. I understand.”
Demon Prince Hume turned his head and gritted his teeth.
The voice of Onihime Tsubaki I heard in my ear was really annoying.
‘How dare you talk about the bitch who is playing into my hands…’ !!’
In my heart, I want to get up and leave this country right now.
But that’s nonsense.
Futashima’s inclusion was essential for his future.
‘Damn it. How did I end up like this!’
Needless to say the cause.
Saint Han Si-woo. And his party members and companions. Among them, Hero Baek Hye-yeon.
Thanks to the transfer magic I had prepared in advance, I was able to retreat quickly, but I still took a hit in the process.
It wasn’t a wound that would interfere with movement, but the location wasn’t very good.
“How, is it okay there? If you think it might be dangerous…”
“It’s loud! … It’s loud…!”
“Hmm. That’s because I’m worried. It looks like he’s aiming for the throne, but if he can’t produce an heir, it won’t be a fatal reason for him to be eliminated.”
“…!!”
Hume’s desire to block Tsubaki’s mouth with his fist grows stronger.
He forced himself up, paying tribute to his superhuman patience.
The wound near my groin area, where I had not given birth, was throbbing, but I couldn’t show it.
“Sexual harassment.”
“Oops. I was rude.”
“And… It’s not a big deal, it’s a wound…!”
“It certainly seems to be fine.”
Tsubaki looked at Hume’s body and nodded.
Just because she was her, she didn’t provoke him by making this point for no reason.
A small revenge for having toyed with both Futashima islands, including themselves.
And they want to place the responsibility for the not-so-small failure entirely on him.
Even though Humet knew that fact, he endured Tsubaki’s actions in order to protect his pride, which had been supported and succeeded throughout his life.
“Good. Shouldn’t we do it right this time?”
“…”
Hunt gritted his teeth.
This time. Properly.
Both words had nothing to do with him.
But he has no intention of continuing to complain and let go of his anger.
Although it was not entirely her own power, her moment of revenge was approaching.
“… Is there any information from the spy?”
“Unfortunately, none. They were probably all caught. But don’t worry.”
Huh ─ Kwasik!
“For the sake of our god, we will cut down everything that stands in our way.”
Hehe. That’s reliable.”
Hume smiled darkly as he saw that the statue was closer to being torn than cut.
Onihime Tsubaki.
An Oni female warrior who became a pillar of the Onihime family, the great lord family that rules Oni Island.
The reason is that he is truly trying to attract Futashima to the demon side.
Although she was not well known to the outside world, her talent was no less than that of female warriors.
This is a fact that not even the other families within Futashima, that is, Fox Island or Oni Island, are fully aware of.
I was quite lucky to learn about Tsubaki’s talent.
Therefore, Hume considered this a God-given opportunity.
She said it was her chance to become the pinnacle of the Mystica Empire, of the Confederacy, and of the entire continent.
‘Stupid bitch. They may be smiling on the outside, but they don’t even know that they are still fooling me. They are just a fighting people with only honesty, uprightness, and loyalty. So, let me use those forces that have no proper direction for us, no, for me!’
Hume and Tsubaki looked at each other and smiled broadly.
A mountain valley located at the northern end of Oni Island.
The woman who returned from secretly scouting out the village flopped down on her chair and frowned.
“Ah, what on earth is going on!”
How did things end up like this?
The situation is not very good.
She was just trying to get something for her friend as a favor.
Why was she suddenly trapped on the island?
It’s not a problem if she escapes on her own, but if she does, she will be caught illegally entering the country.
“Just hit and destroy everything… Ugh, no. Cheong-ah said I shouldn’t do that.”
She shakes her head and sighs.
When her simplest method was blocked, the warrior felt extremely helpless.
“What should we do? Considering that the blockade has already been going on for several days, it seems like it will last quite a long time…”
As troops were concentrated on the coast, it became easier to move around villages, but on the contrary, it became difficult to get out.
However, the inside is not always easy for strangers.
If she didn’t have skills like her, she would have been caught by someone a long time ago and reported as suspicious.
“Ha. I don’t even know what the situation is right now. It doesn’t seem like the villagers know anything either.”
It was a hero who had sneaked into Oni Island almost fifteen days ago and was looking for an item for her friend’s favor.
Originally, I wasn’t very good at rumors or information, so I had no idea how Futashima was going.
How can we predict that a rebellion broke out in a country, let alone the visit of Saint Han Si-woo in the first place?
Since there was not enough information, I could only guess that something was going strangely.
“Are demons invading? But in this remote and remote place? Then a calamitous demon? That doesn’t even make sense.”
No matter how much you think about it, there is no answer.
After hesitating, the warrior pulled out a special move.
“Ugh. I don’t want to look for a new house.”
She takes out an object similar to a microphone from her arms.
The warrior wearing the secret disposable artifact attempted to communicate with his friend just beyond.
-Beep beep. Beep beep. Bibibig.
‘Hurry. Get it quickly. I can’t use it for long because I’m sure it will catch on!’
Did her earnest prayer reach?
-What happened suddenly?
In just a few seconds, the other person received a call.
A voice as clear and beautiful as a jade bead rolling around, just like my name.
It’s always nice to hear, but now it’s an even more welcoming and happy voice.
“Ugh, Cheong!”
-… ? What is it?
“Listen to me!”
She told her friend about her situation.
In any case, her friend Cheong-ah had a large part in why things ended up like this.
She believed that she was capable, that she was not she, that she would somehow provide a means of escape for her.
-… An ironclad blockade.
“Get me out quickly!”
-Wait a moment.
“Quick, quick! If the call lasts too long, you’ll definitely get caught!”
-I know, so just wait.
A fairly long period of time passed in silence for both sides.
Of course, it’s just a feeling, and in reality, it’s only about 2 minutes.
The warrior who contacted us as a secret weapon believed that his friend would soon come with a good plan.
-Sorry. Nothing came in here either.
“Huh…?”
-There used to be little information about Futashima, but it’s even worse recently.
“Well, then do I have to stay trapped here?”
-…
She was troubled.
Futashima is a friend who went into hiding in her remote country in place of her inability to move.
I want to get it out somehow, but the situation is not very good.
‘Should I ask the imperial family for a favor?’
I don’t want to be in debt, but if there is no other way, I have to do this.
However, I wanted to postpone this as a last resort.
-… Sorry. I’ll find a way, so please wait a moment.
“Yeah, okay. I’ll move to another place first.”
-Uh. … I’m so sorry.
“Don’t be sorry between friends! See you later!”
-Yes.
The warrior who broke off contact first put the communication artifact back in his bosom.
In the end, I didn’t get anything, but the call wasn’t short, so it was right to leave this place.
‘If the entire island can be blocked and controlled, communication will be similar. First, shall we go to the cave we discovered last time? … No.’
She packs her luggage and quickly leaves her place.
Soon after, as expected, the Oni tribe attacked the hideout.
“Ugh. Looks like he’s already gone.”
“What about tracking?”
“It seems difficult. There are almost no traces left and directions are scattered here and there…”
“You don’t know the number of people, and you can’t distinguish between real and fake.”
The thought of the leader of the tracking team going back and getting beaten up by his superiors gave him a headache.
It’s such a dangerous time that something like this happens.
“By the way, Captain.”
“What.”
“Are these fox bitches right?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Well, I heard that it was decided to meet in two days. It’s a secret communication…”
“They were probably trying to catch us off guard. In this situation, who else would communicate like this other than the Saint and the Tsukitsune family?”
“That’s true, but…”
“That’s it. Just in case, I’ll ask for more people and go after all the remaining traces.”
“… I understand.”
Soon all the Oni people dispersed, leaving only one or two to investigate the place in detail.
If you can’t distinguish between the real and the real, just chase them all.
Although they don’t like to turn their brains around, the Oni people had an innate body and stamina.
And a few minutes later, a shadow carefully left the hideout.
It was the hero who owned the hideout who used a last-minute trick and hid in the ceiling.
She racked her brain with the little information she managed to get her hands on.
‘Saint and Tsukitsune family. What does this mean? The saint is also an ally, but isn’t the Tsukitsune family the other side that supports Futashima? Could it be that there was an internal conflict? Wow. What on earth is going on? Things have become too complicated!’
A situation that is difficult to understand.
Thanks to this, her head hurt, but her interest also rose.
‘Be a saint. It must be that guy named Han Si-woo, right?’
A man whose ears are covered in rumors, but whose face is unknown.
Even when he came to the Cheonan Empire just once, we couldn’t meet him because of bad timing.
It’s only been a little over a year since he came to this world, but isn’t he a celebrity who has achieved all kinds of accomplishments?
Of course I wanted to meet you.
Moreover, he said that he had already met all three other SS-class warriors except himself.
‘I said two days later.’
Amarindra, the SS-class warrior of the Cheonan Empire, twitched her lips and smiled slightly.
Although she didn’t have the chance, she was very interested in Han Si-woo.
A saint for the first time in hundreds of years and a new S-class male hero who has not been around for a while.
Amarindra just kept rising and became SS level.
He has no regrets or competitiveness about being an SS-class hero.
However, I really liked rumors and such.
Strangely enough, I heard that Han Si-woo is as close to him as the other three.
A formal stepmother-child relationship with the current strongest hero, Han So-young.
He was known as an evil friend who often bickered with Adlen, another SS-class hero from the Glazer Empire, and Ariel from the Holy Empire was said to be strangely close, at least in contact.
In comparison, he has a hostile relationship with other S-class male warriors.
One was practically pushed out, and the other was in political conflict.
The other one is at the level of a scoundrel, but the relationship is a bit unfair.
‘And our Cheongah is jealous of the saint.’
How can one not be curious about a person like Han Si-woo?
“Okay. You said two days later, right? I’ll hide for a while and see if I can find an opportunity~.”
Amarindra smiled and looked forward to meeting two days later.
