Chapter 20 (2/2)

Maybe it’s best to use my authority to eliminate potential dangers……

……However, how will I differentiate them? If I eliminated someone normal, what will I do about his life?

Am I to take responsibility?

The more I think, the more cornered I feel……

That evening, I barely ate. My stomach was not normal.

Seeing Louis, he too seemed to have lost his appet.i.te. He barely touched his meal.

As it was meaningless to stay in the dining hall, I silently apologised to the farmers and left the hall.

To us who returned feeling very disappointed, Daniel gave us some sweet-flavoured royal milk tea.

“Sugar is good for the brain, sir.”

Words overflowing with benevolence and a smile……

Today we saw an awesome man’s smile!!

“Hey, Louis, were you able to organise your thoughts?”

“Not very well… shall I say? How about you?”

After enjoying the sweetness that seeped down to our soul, we started revising the facts.

“There are many things I am not sure of, but…… first, there is the possibility that we are targets of Brad’s mad s.e.xual desires, and there is the possibility that there are more so-called ‘reincarnators’.”

Pretending to not have understood everything, I carefully chose my words to the level that Louis can understand.

This was probably the limit he could process.

“Right…… and also that Mich.e.l.le wanted cooperation because she felt endangered. We can make some countermeasures, at leat.”

“Is that so…… then, would the only choice left be to use my authority to eliminate them?”

“……How much of that do you think will work? We are not even sure who are the strange ones……”

Louis was against the use of my authority to eliminate people. I felt greatly relieved that he was against it.

I also didn’t want that to happen. I’d like to refrain from abusing my authority.

There are too many consequences, and it is too easy to make mistakes.

“Even if we do it, we have to observe more and purge them all at one…… If there is one suspicious person, it would mean that there are actually about thirty people, so we have to be thorough, won’t we?”

……No, it wasn’t that he was against it, he’s just merciless.

He said so with contempt as if he were crus.h.i.+ng some c.o.c.kroaches, while smiling darkly.

Still, as he said, it’s inefficient to eliminate people one by one, and even if there are other reincarnators I can’t hastily conclude that they are all weird.

If they do not harm us, it really doesn’t matter what they do.

Then, for now we should prioritise discerning who the enemy is, sounding out potential enemies.

A part of me wants to just leave her be. However, since she was now providing valuable information, I should a.s.sist her however I can.

“What do you think about Mich.e.l.le?”

“Hm…… I don’t think it’s good to suddenly separate her from those guys. If Henry’s personality is indeed like what she described, his volatile personality may just become very dangerous.”

That is true.

That guy is so possessive, to the point of being morbidly obsessed. In the game, too, one wrong move sent you straight to his bad ending.

“Then, should we ask her to continue acting the fool and report to us of the suspicious people who approach her?”

“Right. I believe that may be the best plan for now. Why don’t we also make her act as if she is interested in us, and exchange information then?”

“Ah. Then even if there are misunderstandings over her visits, we will have an excuse, and it will be a bit easier to deal with those guys…… though I really don’t to be involved with them in any way.”

So we have to satisfy Henry’s possessive desires and quell his jealousy, while building a relations.h.i.+p with Mich.e.l.le……

It sounds easy, but it will be very hard to do……

TN: One more before I sleep.
