Yobidasa Reta Satsuriku-sha Chapter 18 (2/2)

In the end, we still came back to a topic that reeks of blood(Sabnak)

Separating from Sabnak, Hifumi and the two returned to the town entrance Five soldiers were cleaning up the corpses

Co to a halt a suitable distance away, Hifu soldiers

「 What do you think? 」

「 Kasha and I, just the two of us are enough to kill thea)

…… I intended to ask them whether they wanted to kill or arrest, but…(Hifumi)

Was this girl always capable of such brutality? Hifumi was more concerned about her, conveniently blind to his own character

「 Well then, I’ll leave it to you 」

「 Leave it to us 」(Origa)

「 Yoshi+! 」(Kasha)

Seeing off the fired-up duo and watching them run towards the soldiers, Hifumi contemplated on how to deal with slaves

「 Is this event beneficial as well, I wonder? 」

His calirls

Several days after the event, Sabnak worked tirelessly; putting out an urgent request to the town guard toof the blood and bodies was begun under the co lord of the area

Moreover, time flehen Hifumi visited the Viscount’s estate everyday to ask Sabnak so or the other

When Hifuarden of the mansion, the employed servants orried

「 If I say not to co on the premises…? 」 (Sabnak)

「 Don’t twist your words If you’re worried, say what you want to say directly」 (Hifumi)

「 Twist my words…… They are your slaves,yes? 」

「 Even if that’s the case, without explicit instruction, theythehts in town recently, I told them to let their hair down 」

Fondness could be heard in Hifumi’s voice

Seeing his tender expression that contrasted with his everyday behaviour, and re of people, instead of amusement, Sabnak felt fear He had never seen such a warped and selfish individual like this before

「 The slaves adore you 」

「 I think I’d use a different word Come now, continue your instruction 」

Seeing Hifu the map, Sabnak was moved by his desire to learn and unintentionally smiled

The kingdorande, as the name implied, was ruled by nobles in a model similar to the feudal syste on the nobles in charge Apart frodom, it could be freely set by the lord of the area

Though each lord had their own territorial army in addition to the Imperial army, in terms of both financial power andinfluence Civil war did not seem to be a concern presently

Only the northern side of the country faced the sea, it touched borders with other countries on the eastern, western and southern sides

To the east was the merchant country, Vichy The country was run by a parliamentary system in which several city-states were represented by representatives in an asse called the merchant country, the country itself soldcountries, the profit foret As a result, many city-states proood quality metal could be excavated from it’s southern mountainous area A lot of dwarves lived there, so as to exchange and trade commodities made by the dwarves, it was a definite plus point

The western side did not exactly have a clearly defined border, thevast ion was filled ilderness over which were spreadnonexistent, it was said they lived off hunting, but no details were known Hu the race as a whole While Hifumi had heard they were “hostile to huht the derande one-sidedly invaded to get ainst them, became impoverished and withdrew

「 What a nonsensical affair 」

「 Beyond the beastht country, they too want the land in question After all, in the mountainous and wild areas, ores and crystals can potentially be mined Currently we have no choice but to one-sidedly buy them from Vichy To escape fro seeht that that land was necessary」

In a past story, the prince who succeeded did not have appropriate judge the country now did not seehts

「 The south? 」

「 The ic country, Horant 」

A genius athered apprentices to train and research for the country Most of the ned by Horant Also, ic wand is known to soicians, but the production methods are not released by Vichy

On the west of Horant, sharing only a little bit of border with Orsongrande, is the country of elves

「 Elves! Elves exist! 」

「 …… Uh, yes They exist, butthem is unlikely 」

It is said that most of the elves’ country is heavily forested, and the elves live quietly in the depths of the forest, not interacting with other countries Any stranger entering the forest is irande and Horant have tried several tiate some of the forest, to no avail Unfa in froicians could not fight properly, and had to retreat numerous times

「 For the ti, these are the state of affairs of our country and it’s neighbours 」(Sabnak)

「 You saved my time Thanks 」

「 Ah, apart from that, could you come here tomorrow? 」

Listening to the tired-out Sabnak’s reason, Hifumi smiled and stood up

「 At last reinforcements have come from the capital It see the ive you the information directly 」

「 Is that so… Very well 」

「 Gothras escaped 」

Pajou, who seemed to have ridden in considerable haste, found Hifureetings short and explained the situation

According to Pajou’s explanation, Gothras, aiting punishuard and disappeared

「 The Knight as guarding him, his neck was snapped The prison bars were bent, a feat of strength impossible for a human 」

However, Pajou’s place was broken into, and the report related to Hifu alone, he had to be receiving soht Corps reached

「 We believe that someone helped Gothras escape 」

Regaining her breath, Pajou finished reporting and straightened her spine She bowed deeply to Hifumi

「 This incident was coave us an opportunity to clear up our ement, we not only wasted it, but as a result you are deprived of information The responsibility is mine 」

Seeing her apologising with her head bowed and not hed

「 The apology is unnecessary Even if the information is concealed, soht be a guy holding enough power to bend prison bars, yes? 」

Looking up, Pajou’s eyes met a cold smile, the same one she saw at the Marquis’ estate A chill went up her spine

「 Ah, joy A fellow confident in their physical prowess, there’s this technique I really want to try out…」

Everyone froze seeing the expression of warped joy on Hifumi’s face
