“That man also made some unintelligible claims about me, didn’t he? It’s the same thing, isn’t it?”
“Tsuki. Calm down.”
The same as when we met in the morning, the beastman deputy head doubts me and I hold Tsuki who is about to attack him at any moment.
If I could hit him here, it’d be easier for me too.
“But this is the second time you’ve doubted me and Tsuki. There won’t be a next time.”
It’s true that I’d get in trouble if I hit him, but it’s also true that he suspected me and Tsuki.
The first time is unavoidable, but a third time …… I won’t let it go.
“…… W-Whatever. So, what proof do you have that I’m involved with the Dark Guild? If you have something like that, show it to me.”
“We have it-pon. This girl is the proof-pon. The slave crest on her waist is connected to you by magic power-pon.”
“Waist? Yeah, it really is there. But I can’t see it even if you say it’s connected by magic. Even if you say that crest is the proof, it just sounds like a false accusation to me …… Ah, I can see it too. That slave crest is connected to that man there. So he’s the guildmaster of the Dark Guild.”
“…… Phew. Alex …… can I hit that guy-pon?”
I know how you feel Mami, but don’t.
I mean, I’d like to hit him too.
“Hmm. It seems that the slave crest is real. If so, I have something like this for you.”
“Mr. Ryuho. What is it?”
“I got it through a little secret in the past. If you put it on a slave’s crest, you can identify the owner of the slave crest. It does not work unless the owner is nearby, but let’s give it a try.”
Ryuho, who had somehow disappeared from the room, came back with a small vial in his hand.
When the powder in the vial was sprinkled on Kate’s slave crest …… the white powder turned purple and flew in a line toward the beastman.
“Ryuho. What’s this!? I’ve never heard of an item that can tell who owns a slave!?”
“Slave crests tell their owners the location of their slaves, you see. It would be impossible to do that without some kind of magical connection. I’m told this is a drug that makes that magic power visible.”
“…… Tsk! So much for that. But you’re going to regret hunting me down. This is a dark potion made by the Dark Guild that quintuples your abilities. It’s still a prototype, but the effect is …… Heh heh heh! Fuhahahahaha! If you can catch me, try it! The high physical ability of a beastmen has become even higher. I’ll kill you guys one at a time …… Bugeh!”
Huh? He’s weak, though?
No, his body has gotten bigger and he says his abilities are five times greater, so I hit him harder than the guys who attacked me, but …… Oh, he got up.
He’s trembling.
“Damn you …… I’m going to retreat for now, but I’m definitely going to kill you someday! I’m going to kill you, your daughter, your wife, your whole family! The entire Dark Guild will retaliate against you! Remember that!”
“[Closure]”
“Wha- ……? No, wait …… you, aren’t you a grappler! How can you use a skill like this?”
“No, I never said I was a grappler.”
At any rate, he still look fine, so I was thinking about hitting him one more time, but…
“Father. How about we make this one go insane by applying a shinobi’s medicine on him …… No, I’d gladly touch Father’s thing, but I don’t want to touch this guy’s.”
Tsuki says something scary.
I mean, I thought that Shinobi medicine doesn’t work on men?
You know, the medicine that was coated inside Kate’s …… Kohon.
At any rate, since there’s no change in me …… No, I’m fine since status abnormalities doesn’t affect me, but would it have been bad if it was a normal guy!?
“Oh, look at him-pon. The drug made him bigger, and his pants ripped-pon. And yet his thing is not even half the size of Alex’s-pon.”
“Oh, that’s cute. So the drug didn’t make him big there, huh? Oh …… you don’t mean that he got bigger and that’s it, do you? That’s not so much cute as it is pitiful.”
“Ahahaha. What’s this? It’s obviously smaller than Sir Alex’s! Don’t tell me, you’re actually a girl?”
Uh, Mami, Julie, and Kate, stop it with the mental attacks.
Maybe it was because his heart was broken, but he’s now sitting with his face buried in his knees.
A-Anyway, let’s leave the rest to Julie and Ryuho.
