Chapter 334 - : The Black Butterfly, and the Shadow Lily (1/2)

In a Different World with a Smartphone Chapter 334: The Black butterfly, and the Shadow Lily

“It’s a hard-to-believe story to say the least… However, if we accept it, it would solve a lot of our questions”

“Wow… I thought you were a weird guy already, but you’re even weirder than I had ever iined…”

“Leave me alone”

The abandoned fortress which serves as the hideout of the [Red Cats] Currently, I’ e tent set up in the inner courtyard

The fact that I’n of a dukedom over there, that the variants have appeared inwaste to this world as well, and that I’ in order to stop the a table in the center of the tent, four people—the [Red Cats]’s chief Nia, the vice- chief Est-san, and two executives, the ponytail girl Yuni and the fluffy wave girl Yuri—sat there with a duolden monsters… Variants, as you called the in this world from now on?”

“I’m afraid so In our world, we’ve made a cooperative structure where each member is informed of any appearances in advance But over here, there’s absolutely no counter about that This tiroup appeared they can easily destroy a country or two, you know?”

“B-by larger group, how o up to the ten thousands, at worst It’s not so any one country can deal with by themselves, no matter in this world or in ours That’s e took to cooperating to deal with the invaders fro this world, countries have no choice but to work together If we do not cooperate andus would be the destruction of the world

It’s not gonna be easy to start getting countries to cooperate over here too In fact, there was already that war between Pridom and Trihalan God-Empire that I had to deal with

“Wait just a s like those with that number!? There’s no way in hell we can win!”

“You reuys saw earlier? Those were originally developed to defeat the Phrase… The originals of the variants We have several hundreds of the by to defeat those variants if they ever appear”

“Several hundreds of that thing earlier… Is it”

Well, it’s not that we have a few hundred Reginleivs, though Unfortunately, since the only Frainleiv, I can’t show them other models

“And, what do you want to do now?”

“To put it siather information on this side, as well as countries that would be willing to lend th I’ve already dom and Trihalan God-Empire, but that’s only a portion of this world’s countries, so”

“But, would the other countries believe your talk so easily? Even if you tell them you’re froh at you…”

What Yuri said is true Excluding special cases like Primula, I don’t think there’s a country out there who can easily believe my talk

Still, they will be forced to believe in time When the variants attack their own countries, they’ll have no other choice

But that is too late a solution If the country perishes before I get the in my actions

“Let’s see… It’s not like we have no ideas of an information dealer that could serve your purposes…”

Hoho As expected of Est-san Seehts

“Was there such a place? Is it a place I know too?”

“It’s the [Papillon]”

“[Papillon]… The organization which runs the black market ent to the last tiacy goleroup I’ that gig was called [Papillon]

Nia said it was an organization that does anything for money last time…

“Actually, that [Papillon] is in a divided state at the moment Apparently, after that attack at the black market by the purple [Crown], assassins were sent after her in retaliation; but all of those attempts failed, and the top of [Papillon] were even hunted down and killed by [Purple]”

The purple [Crown]… Fanatic Viola, was it And its uys are a mass of chaos, basically A pair I would very much like to avoid

“As a result, [Papillon] split into two groups Broadly speaking, they are the surface group and the underground group, respectively”

According to Est-san, the surface group operates inns and brothels as their main business; under that cover, they do works such as infor rumors or news reports, and spy activities

And the underground group, as its naests, mainly deals with assassination or destruction activities, thievery, and illegal businesses The black oods fall under their jurisdiction as well

The executives in charge of the surface works and the underground works respectively have been openly opposing each other for a while, and the tension between the two groups are high A fight over the inheritance of the organization?

“As the previous leader had, unfortunately, no children, it’s expected for the next leader to be one of those two executives However, apparently they are opposed to the ideas of each other, and the situation is only turning worse, or so like that”

“I see And l should approach the executive in charge of the surface group…”

“Exactly They should beco The inns which [Papillon] has ties with are spread out basically everywhere within all the countries after all”

That is indeed very attractive With a network that large, they can probably acquire information with a speed and quality that isn’t inferior to the Adventurer’s Guild back in the Surface World

“—Wait a roup of Papillon…”

“Yes Silhouette Lily The ‘Kageyuri’” (Note: “Shadow Lily” I felt that it looksout every tiuys think otherwise, letsoo to that woht, you know!?”

Nia waved her hands around in a flustered hile voicing her objection What’s that supposed to roup executive is a woman?

“… Is she a scary person?”

“In a sense The woer of [Papillon]’s brothel business She’s a hell of a woman, apparently It’s said that there’s no man ould not fall to her charms

and wiles I’ve met her once before, and I’m certain the phrase ‘devilish woman’ exists to describe people like her”

A brothel, is it… Umumu I feel a bit daunted, but for the moment I still feel like I should have a talk with her anyway

“Kageyuri, who’s leading the surface group, doesn’t have much in ter the underground group However, their nuroup I’e to pull them to your side”

“And how should I meet that executive?”

“We can probe around for the location of Kageyuri using [Red Cats]’s connections After that, well… I think you can just go and o about this in a steadier way… I’d like to avoid asinto troubles so I don’t really mind, but…

In the northern lands, the second capital of Strain Kingdom, commercial city Cantarre

I arrived in front of the “Moonlight Parlor”, the city’s preh-class brothel situated in the center of the pleasure district
