Side story, Code Ha – Rirushu of the Rebellion
“…… I see, so there were such circumstances”
“Yes, su In short, the reason he was arrested was just because he was caught in the conspiracies of the second son, su”
“Screw off How did Shuri get involved in that”
“Seriously”
In one of the inn roo
It was a si to kill time with
Having five commanders crammed here, it’s a room which makes you feel it’s cramped
We were being confined in that inn
We, Ganglabe’s Mercenary Corp has been ordered on house arrest at the inn for disrespecting the Feudal Lord of Sounity
The reason for that, lies in Shuri
Things were running sly roasted pig came out, I had raised both arms in joy because I finally possess land
However, Shuri suddenly knocked the Feudal Lord’s wineglass to the ground
Shuri was imprisoned for disrespect, and ere ordered to be in house arrest in the inns prepared for us until they get to the bottom of the matter
It’s obvious but, the contract between Sounity and our mercenary corp had already ended Because e had won the e had fulfilled the contract
So it would have been fine to immediately take a firetting ement
And then, my subordinates were locked up in a different inn, and that’s e are being crammed like sardines in here
“According to that, then that means Shuri saved the Feudal Lord”
And then I thought after I was been confined in the inn
The other commanders too, they couldn’t say it but, I think they’re thinking about Shuri’s actions
It’s not a lie that I feel Shuri is to blaht about now I should have land and be building a town on it, I should have one foot in my dream already
And that, because he did such a thing, it’s become complicated and became ruined
I had thought that if I met him I’ll confess to him all my pent-up frustrations
However, noup My complaints as well, they well up and then instantly sink and end up disappearing
Shuri isn’t a guy to do that sort of thing without a reason
Despite how he looks, he has a surprisingly stubborn side to hi with me, or Newbyst, or even Alturia, he conquered it with his wits and cooking skill
Such a guy, I don’t think he would be disrespectful without a thought or cause
That, the other coreed on
Riru said that Haet it at all
Cougar said that for noanted to eat his cooking Me too
Ahrius said that there’s still ree
Teg said that he can’t ignore his close friends That’s true
Close friend Comrade Family
That’s good enough for a reason
That guy is a person who can walk side by side with us five childhood friends
To h by my side
That’s enough reason to believe in him
Once that was decided, it was quick
First we started by constructing a method to contact our subordinates
Stripping the floorboards of the inn’s rooms, Riru and Ahrius made a hole which connects to the outside
Once that was open, Teg and Cougar went out, being vigilant about the surroundings With Teg’s scouting techniques, Cougar was sent as his guard
Once it’s confiro around to the inns and contact our subordinates For this purpose, they use the paper that Riru invented
This paper was soo It’s so where you write letters with so the juice and the letters raise to the surface Perhaps I should say that it’s too childish or it’s too si which can’t be used in wars at all but, it seeh inspiration
Re-engineering it ically, it became a special secret code paper Even if it was stolen, they probably would have no idea what’s written on it
Carrying that, Teg visited each inn Getting in touch with our subordinates
What we understood at that time was the difference between the veterans and the newcomers
The newcoers at Shuri without even trying to hide it
The veteran subordinates were trusting Shuri, and laughing at him, that ‘he just can’t be helped’
I see, Shuri had unexpectedly deepened the bonds with the subordinates who had been with hiood direction
Within the subordinates, with the cooperation of the Teg’s archery unit and Riru’s ineer unit, they constructed a contact network and information network Afterwards we shared various information with each other
First, Shuri is ok He hasn’t been killed yet He is under surveillance in the castle’s dungeon
There was no further inforht-lipped orhidden from us intentionally
The first prince and second prince were in a political strife It’s concerning Shuri’s punish him live, the second prince is for him to be killed Most likely, this has to do with the matter this time The one who can win over this will extend their influence Perhaps however, if I had to say it, I wouldn’t call this a political strife
I think this is just a clash in opinion
However, the one who is seriously attacking this political strife is the second prince Extending his influence, perhaps he is using this opportunity to try to move up in the ranks and become the heir
The first prince? When I ask about hi his wealth
That wealth however, seems to be split with the poor
Contrary to the first prince who has gained the popularity of the citizens, in order for the second prince to gain the support of castle’s subordinates heto the inside (TL: 内側へ意識が向いている)?
Taking advantage of that, I polished my plans
Despite going along with the castle’s fight, despite turning the public opinion to support the first prince
For the sake of when the time comes, I leak out some of Shuri’s information
With 80 lies and 20 truths though!
The 20 that is true is that Shuri is being confined
The 80 lies are
When the kind chef called Shuri on the request of the Feudal Lord showed off his cooking, the second prince found so to nitpick on and confined him, then he tried to force hi purposes, but Shuri refused and said that even if he nity as a chef, proudly enduring this, thus his hteousness are standing up for him
Or so spread about
The popular opinion is slightly spreading between a revolt and support for the first prince but, I think that by the time Shuri is released it’ll turn for the worst I won’t be taking responsibility
And then when our infor, who had infiltrated the castle to gather intelligence, gained information about Shuri and the First Prince Ekress
The simple summary of it is
The reason why Shuri knocked over the wineglass is because the detailedly erous to the Feudal Lord’s body
And the one who us
The First Prince Ekress has requested that in exchange for saving Shuri, he wants Shuri to take him and run away
That’s the gist of it
“However, ould’ve thought the first prince was female”
“I was surprised too, su I had thought that the first prince was gender neutral, but he was actually his subordinates little sister, su I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard their conversation
The rest was thanks to hi attention, su Since I was able to also look over the report carefully, su”
“Most likely but, if so much information was handed to him behind the scenes then, that subordinate person was probably quite confident in his spying skills
Because if he wasn’t, he wouldn’t be able to be a double agent”
“If that was found out, he’ll definitely be killed Since the Second Prince will definitely flip out”
That’s true
That ’s presence Whether he didn’t pay attention or nervous, it’s noruy’s presence erasure to be undetectable
After Shuri ca techniques Teg’s skill surpasses experts There had also been hich had been saved with his information
However to have actually noticed him
“Regarding where Shuri is being held?”
“I think it’s just like we heard, under the castle, su Here, it’s si a map, su”
Looking over the paper that Teg handed to me, the route until where Shuri is held has been drawn
Since I’ve indeed had a tour inside the castle during the tih if I have this much information
“Ok Now, regarding the matter with the First Prince Ekress but
That guy is saying that he wants to join our mercenary corp
Most likely, it’s because ouldn’t have known his true self, he probably thought it would be si a woman
However, he ht”
When I get the information and attack, I will definitely cause harm to the entire clan of Sounity
It was probably an insurance for that ti I can praise
And this is probably how he suggested it to Shuri
I’ll help the e, help me escape from death
I grinded otiation
It’s true that unfairness is sootiations Since even I, a riots
However Shuri has no history fighting, furthermore he’s a prisoner There’s no way he could’ve refused
If even the first prince turns to the faction for Shuri’s execution, Shuri will die
There is no way I can approve of such a person to be our comrade
“For exalabe”
Cougar was also tightening together his folded arms
There’s no doubt he’s angered by Shuri’s current situation and Ekress’ negotiation
“Let’s see It wouldn’t be strange for the second prince to take a firm step anytime now
At any rate he tried to hariven even if he is part of the clan There’s a possibility he ht of heir
Before that, Ekress will take Shuri and run away
The one who noticed the information leak was Ekress’ subordinate, Gann
When we begin toare only those two
If they even have Shuri, with his skill in cooking, they can escape as many times as they want
It could be a food cart or a shop, since they’re fine as long as they can keep wandering around while having that guy cook”
This is one of the depictions I have of it going in a “Bad directions”
Shuri’s cooking ability is recognised by everyone here
Truthfully speaking, it’s not once or twice that we thought that if he didn’t join our corp and set up a shop, he would probably flourish with success
However if in addition to that skill, he also has specialised subordinates who are good at business calculations and can get infor the food cart however many times he wants
