Chapter 302 – Retribution
Jun quietly watched Viktor’s back as he slowly walked away.
And the same was true for Number 2, Paul, and other gang members who were notified of his release.
Perhaps they thought that if they followed him, they would forever lose their chance to escape from the shadows to the sun, or perhaps they were just offended by the insult they received from Victor. The members of the organization, including Number 3, were busy keeping an eye on Jun, whether Victor moved away. .
Paul seemed to want to follow Viktor, but he couldn’t take a single step even when his back completely disappeared from sight.
This is because Viktor told him in a murderous manner that if he followed him, he would cut off his head for no reason.
When Victor’s back completely disappeared from sight, Number 3 quietly approached and asked in a low voice.
“Um… Cardinal. Are you going to let the leader, or rather the leader of the terrorist group, go away without catching him? With the Cardinal’s skills, he could easily overpower you…”
“Such nonsense! Hey you bastard! I’m encouraging you to capture the captain you trusted and followed just a moment ago! And yet you’re still a human! Oh!”
Number 3 proposes to carefully capture Victor.
Paul, who was nearby, heard the suggestion and got angry and grabbed his collar.
Number 3 chewed his lips and listened to Paul’s criticism in silence, as if he thought this wasn’t a good idea.
But even for a moment, I closed my eyes tightly as if I could see someone’s image in front of me…
“… Konde.”
“What! “Stop muttering and speak loudly!”
“What if that guy holds a grudge and harms my family? “I will even bring you back to life!”
I cried desperately.
“Captain, that can’t be possible…”
“How can you be so sure! This is a person who is so crazy about revolution that he even cuts off a comrade’s head without asking questions!”
“… Shit!”
Paul couldn’t bear to refute Number 3’s point.
Number 3, riding on his momentum, roughly shook off the hand that was holding his collar and knelt in front of Jun and begged.
“Cardinal, please catch Victor. I don’t mind if you catch it too. Instead, the Cardinal please protect my daughter, who just turned 5 years old. That kid is not guilty of anything. Yes?”
“My mother too…”
“My wife…”
“My younger brother is nothing…”
The number of people kneeling before him increased one by one.
At the same time, men’s pleas to protect their families also increased.
‘… Foolish guy.’
Listening to those pleas, Jun criticized.
I saw myself looking at those people who seemed overly humane with disgust.
Their overly human appearance was a struggle.
A man who is powerless and unable to keep his family safe makes a truly miserable and bitter struggle to keep them safe.
“Do not worry. If you are a person who has not committed any sin, even if your family is a sinner, the church will protect you safely.”
“Then get Viktor right now!”
“That… Just wait a moment.”
Jun said that and remembered.
Victor’s face as he looked wordlessly at the gang members who claimed that they were petty criminals.
That face was clearly the face of someone in charge who had made a cruel decision.
What decision did he make?
I couldn’t figure it out. For some reason, Jun Hana intuitively knew only one thing.
Sooner or later, Victor will meet his end.
With his organization, the Resistance.
――――――
After spending an hour soothing the gang members who were anxious that their family would be harmed, Jun led them to the Resistance’s hideout.
“As expected, he was hiding here.”
“Huh? Junie, I was expecting it.”
“Okay then.”
Fantasy country rules.
The secret organization’s hideout is hidden in an underground sewer.
The Resistance’s hideout, which I couldn’t find no matter how hard I searched, was located in a corner of the underground sewer system that spread widely beneath the Academy, according to national rules.
And Jun had been expecting that to happen for quite some time.
“But why haven’t you found it yet?”
“Of course it’s impossible.”
“Why? “Juni has radar.”
“That radar doesn’t work in underground sewers.”
The Imperial Academy was constructed under the orders of Emperor Shi Huangdi shortly after the founding of the empire, and has undergone numerous expansions and renovations until its present state.
Naturally, the underground sewer system that disposes of sewage has also been repeatedly expanded and remodeled, but as its importance has lagged behind that of buildings, the arrangement of the sewer system has inevitably been messy.
Nowadays, the underground sewer beneath the Academy is nothing more than a huge maze.
“Is that the only reason the radar doesn’t work?”
“That’s not true.”
Even in a labyrinth full of demonic energy, Jun’s radar finds the exit.
No matter how complicated the road was, there was no way he wouldn’t be able to find the exit.
Nevertheless, the reason why Jun did not find the Resistance’s hideout in the sewer…
“There are magic circles for purifying sewage and double or triple barriers to prevent the smell of sewage from spreading throughout the sewer.”
“Ah!”
Radar can penetrate most objects, but it cannot penetrate one type of mana.
As a result, he was unable to demonstrate his power properly in the sewer where magic circles were scattered everywhere.
To add insult to injury…
“Due to the influence of unpurified filth and the supernatural abilities I have received over a long period of time, this underground sewer has also become one of the mysteries of the Academy. The danger isn’t that high, perhaps because of its size, but the entire sewer contains mana, so it’s completely opposite to the raider. Now you know why I didn’t search this place when I expected it, right?”
“Huh! But it’s not easy for even our Junie to find his way here, so how do those kids find their way?”
“I know. “I’m curious about that too.”
Jun and Fortuna got along well and looked at Paul as if telling him to answer quickly.
Paul was still a little dazed by Victor’s sudden behavior, but he couldn’t resist his gaze and answered by scratching his cheek.
“Thanks to my superpowers.”
“superpower? Even my superpowers of exploration would be useless here. “What kind of superpower do you have?”
“It’s no big deal. Just creating a slightly special yarn.”
After saying that, Paul slowly raised one hand.
At the same time, the transparent thread wrapped around Paul’s hand turned translucent and revealed itself.
Bang! Bang!
“This is a transparent thread, one of the threads I can make. Even I can’t see it, I can only feel it, so it’s perfect for secretly connecting to something.”
“Then the end of that thread is…”
“It’s connected to the end of our hideout. “I will start guiding you now, so please follow along.”
Paul entered the sewer with a transparent thread wrapped around his hand.
Jun followed behind him and asked.
“I’m suddenly curious, what is your hobby?”
“… Making stuffed toys.”
It was a hobby that seemed really fitting, but wasn’t.
Hey! Good luck!
“How is it that there is no place for you?”
There were all kinds of people in the sewer.
From the swarms of rats that naturally come to mind when thinking of a sewer, golems created by mixing all kinds of reagents, various animal-type skeletons, and even one or two goblins.
It seemed like a colony had been built in a corner of the sewer.
Like some people.
Sigh!
“Huh? What is that gaze?”
“I think I have a bad relationship with my cousin.”
“Silly! “If you are neighbors with these guys, then of course you don’t get along, so how can it be good?”
Paul built blood vessels in his old hair and got rid of his bad neighbors.
No matter where he was, a neighbor with no manners was someone I wanted to get rid of.
After about an hour, Jun was able to see the Resistance hideout he had been searching for.
Resistance members were located in a wide cavity created by overlapping passages.
Roaring Roaring Roaring
What happened?
Those presumed to be gang members are gathered in the center of the pupil, all with serious expressions.
Paul and his companions, worried that their family might have been harmed, ran to them in a panic and asked.
“Hey! What happened! Why are they gathered in one place!”
“Ah! Commander, welcome. “I was already wondering whether I should go look for it or not.”
“So why! “Don’t hesitate and talk clearly!”
“Atta. I have a very impatient personality. Okay. So, the captain came about an hour ago…”
According to a member of the organization, Victor returned to the hideout about an hour ago.
The gang members, who were anxiously waiting to see how the push and pull with Jun would end, immediately gathered around Victor out of anxiety when he returned alone,
It is said that Victor, who quietly looked around at the gang members gathered around him, hurled all kinds of insults as he did at the gang members who had been involved in the push-and-pull, and then expelled them all from the resistance.
“And! “What did the captain do then?”
“He disappeared with the members of the organization who were opposed to being affiliated with the church. I couldn’t do it because I thought it would cost me four months if I followed. “I’m sorry.”
“… No. Is there anything wrong with you? First, tell everyone to gather together. “Let’s do a personnel check.”
Under Paul’s command, personnel inspection began.
After hearing the results after a while, Jun nodded and said.
“Is that really how it comes out?”
“We’re smart Juni, don’t just keep it to yourself, teach it to Por too.”
Jun didn’t tell me.
You will find out soon anyway.
――――――
So the next morning,
“For the revolution! For Prince Leon!”
“… Huh?”
As Jun expected, Fortuna found out about Victor’s intentions earlier than expected.
