27. In a world of villains where manipulation of power is rampant, a clumsy person cannot survive (3)
I ended up living in a former studentâs house longer than expected. This is because the Demon King, who seemed to be about to charge, stopped at the border.
Maybe the shuttle is cheating?
If not, wouldnât the God of Nature be giving false information to fool me?
So when I secretly received information from my former student, it was said that it really stopped at the border.
Did he say he was collecting troops?
As far as I know, the national power of this country is not that strong.
It is known that during the Great War, the Fernes Empire fell and even its soul was robbed by the Karan Empire while holding hands with the Fernes Empire.
In addition, even after World War, the funds were dried up by compensating neighboring countries for damages.
Why are they collecting troops when they have not been treated as a nation but have also swept away the Rubella Urban Union, which has the highest military power?
It was a mystery.
âHehe! Master, is this enough?â
Well, thanks to that, I am living a comfortable life receiving various help from my former students.
âThank you.â
âIt is natural for a student to serve a teacher.â
He was smiling and spouting nonsense lies.
-Do you have no confidence in your disciples, or do you think about what youâve done so far?
-Both.
Thatâs how itâs supposed to be from evil organizations.
I could understand that the disciples hated me because they had taught me all kinds of lessons as a villain, so I couldnât believe it at all, and I did a lot of terrible things in the process.
What a sad thing. I worked so hard to raise him!
But there were no fatalities like the other instructors!
Youâll understand once youâve been an instructor!
I canât understand because none of my students have been instructors.
I donât think theyâll understand if I do.
Is that so?
I lift the fruits that my former student peeled for me.
Trade with the outside world is not being done properly.
What a fresh fruit.
âCome on, eat.â
I handed over the finished fruit to the warrior and the shuttle.
ââŚâŚ.â
ââŚâŚ.â
I thought about it and handed over the fruit, but the gaze is strange.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âThis isâŚâ
âIsnât it a test?â
âWhat are you testing?â
I frowned slightly, but the brave man answered without hesitation.
âItâs poison.â
I donât like quick-witted kids.
âI hope it canât be. More precious than anything else⌠A colleague.â
âI thought I just heard the slaveâs ânoââŚâŚ.â
âItâs just my imagination.â
âI donât think soâŚâŚ.â
The sight of a warrior looking at me with his eyes narrowed makes me sigh.
But this is my student. If the disciple does not understand the language, it is the teacherâs duty to explain it again.
âItâs just my imagination.â
âI suppose so.â
As expected, you understand me well when I say it again.
Go now.
I seeâŚ
Itâs Chewy.
The brave man sighed when he saw the iron beater going back to bed, smacking his lips as if it were a pity.
âThank you⌠for the food.â
The warrior, who glanced at his former pupil, began to eat fruit with suspicious eyes.
Well, itâs not poisonous.
âIs it good?â
âYes. Itâs a fresh fruit, so itâs delicious.â
âReally?â
After watching the warrior and shuttle who ate about two or three fruits for a while, they stole the plate.
âYou ate a lot, didnât you?â
âIâve only eaten three yet.â
âThatâs a lot.â
After waiting enough time for the poison to spread, he handed over the fruit to his daughter.
âEat a lot.â
âYes!â
He smiles and begins to eat fruit with an iron beater.
âIs it good?â
âYes! Itâs so sweet!â
He is healed by the way he smiles while chewing apples.
I donât know whose daughter it is, but sheâs so cute!
âIsnât that too muchâŚâŚ?â
I can hear the voice of a grumbling warrior in the outfield.
âAdults should be able to sacrifice for their children.â
âIs that so??â
Perhaps he couldnât get his senior to work, or maybe the senior didnât want to peel fruit for his junior, the warrior who was chewing the entire apple gave an answer that didnât contain even 1 percent of his soul.
âHow long do I have to stay here?â
It was a question from the shuttle, who was crunching and chewing apples together next to it.
I have a lot of questions because Iâm waiting longer than I expected.
We wait until the talks proceed or the devil crosses the border.â
âYou mean thereâs no timeâŚâŚ.â
Iâm sorry to the shuttle who sighs deeply, but it canât be helped.
This is because Mira, who has to control the imperial army, cannot move unless the devil moves.
This is because all the messages he will receive must follow the devilâs path to get connected.
I left this city alone when I was walking around with a warrior.
Oh, come to think of it, did I release the guys I kept in the warehouse?
âBeral.â
âYes, sir.â
âThere were some kids in your organization in the warehouse where we stayed⌠âDid you go to see him?â
ââŚyes. I did get it from my junior.â
I see.
Thanks to this, unnecessary lives could not be sacrificed.
I couldnât tell if it was a villain or a warrior when I saw them in custody.
Still, seeing that he had the intention of saving people, he still seems to have the heart of a warrior.
âYou told me in advance.â
âI talked to my senior a little bit It just came out by chance.â
Oh, was it a coincidence?
âI see.â
A warrior has no intention of saving a man.
Should I say that I feel sorry for the god of nature who chose this guy as a warrior, or should I say that I feel sorry for the warrior who was chosen by the god of nature even with this personality?
First of all, my conclusion is that they are both similar, so I donât feel sorry for them both.
The god, the warrior.
âWell, isnât it enough if youâre alive?â
âThatâs right. As long as youâre alive.â
I nodded at the warriorâs words.
Yeah, you just have to be alive.
Theyâll get caught trying to get behind others anyway.
Thereâs no way the guy who was my student could have taught me a secret passage to make a little money, right?
Does it?
âOh, thatâs true. We didnât create it, we were trading using a secret channel created by another organization in the past.â
âReally?â
âYes, itâs true.â
It was real.
âOriginally, if itâs an evil organization, itâs standard practice to seduce people with such rumors, enslave them, and then send them back after only stealing money!â
âHahaha! How old are you talking about? How hard it became to sell slaves after the Karan Empire cracked down on slaves. If you sell it incorrectly, you have an imperial army that cooperates with the kingdom. Howling was also rooted out within a month, but a weak organization like us canât do it because itâs scary.â
What do you mean, by a small organization? It is based in this kingdom, but it has occupied the surrounding kingdomâs organizations, and there are dozens of affiliated organizations.
âThe devil has recently popped out there, so you have to be more careful. The kingdom is doing everything in its power to eliminate all possible internal trouble. If you steal money for no reason and get reported, the organization will be ruined.â
âAre you not going to use the good means of murder and destruction?â
âItâs usually possible, but not now. It is difficult to dispose of the body because external control is prohibited. Itâs cheaper to just let the body out for money than to move it into a secret passage.â
Well, that makes sense.
but,
âWhy donât you just lead him to the end of the secret passage, take care of it there, and bury it around you?â
âWhat?â
It was an expression that he hadnât thought of this way.
âAs expected, Master.â
I think people who have buried them are complimenting me for asking. Is this a compliment? Itâs a compliment, right?
Ah, but if you praise something like this, is it a compliment?
âBy the way⌠Isnât it convenient not to do it if itâs so annoying?â
I think youâve done it with considerable thought, but you work to make such a small sum of money. Was it necessary?
âWhatâs the point of playing?â âI canât even work properly, so I have to make a small amount of money and pay the childrenâs salaries.â
âReally?â
That was a pretty bossy answer.
âOh, and I have one more thing to tell you.â
âWhat is it?â
âWeâve reached an agreement. He asked me to have a meeting with my colleagues after a long time ago.â
Oh, youâve been here all this time to say that.
âNo, wait! You should have said that first! When, where, how!â
I thought it wasnât a big deal because you said it so casually.
Did you aim for it? You did, right?
âOh, Iâm getting ready in ten days. All three of the other guys are coming. I think itâs tempting because everyoneâs business is hard because of the devil.â
10 days? All of them? There are so many things to tackle.
âIs that so?â
âYes. Iâm getting everything ready. The instructor can wait in peace.â
Wow, itâs so uncomfortable. I think itâs going to be full of traps.
âI see. Iâll trust you.â
But you donât have to make it obvious.
Iâll have to deal with it on my own first.
But⌠Why am I so nervous?
#3 Their Situation: The Situation of Some Soldier
Iâve escaped the organization of evil that Iâve been staying in for quite a long time.
Sneaking out through the underground passage, we crossed two cities and arrived at a small village.
âIs it here?â
âYes, it is the town we have created.â
Creating a village was also like an evil organization called the best in a kingdom.
And all the people Iâm going to meet now are the disciples of the instructor and the ones who came out of Howling and created their own organization. In other words, each and every one of them is a formidable group.
That means you may have a chance to escape!
However, it seemed very difficult to seize the opportunity thanks to the iron beater who was walking in close contact with me.
Damn it! Iâm usually stuck with HillâŚâŚ.
It means that the instructor knows that the current situation is not so good.
âHere you are.â
While checking around and thinking about the escape route, we arrived at a place that looked like an ordinary inn.
Is it because the apostles of evil spirits are walking around? Or is it because itâs an artificial village?
The streets of the village, as well as the inside of the inn, were empty.
âYouâre here.â
An ordinary man who appeared to be the innkeeper bowed to his senior.
âWhat about the others?â
âEveryone has arrived.â
Nodding his head with an expressionless face, he is indeed the boss of an evil organization that rules a kingdom.
There was a sense of discord with the instructor, but this is probably the usual way.
Itâs just⌠I guess I got hit a lot during training.
Our rider learned from the instructor for just over a year after Howlingâs fall.
Beaterâs time was only a few months.
His seniors are said to have been beaten by beater for four years, many times, or tens of times.
If you think you were about the same age as us⌠Thereâs no reason not to get traumatized.
No, even an adult would have it.
âHere you are.â
The senior, who had appeared as the boss of the evil organization, went down to the basement, not upstairs.
âItâs big.â
It was what the instructor said as he went underground.
As I went down, it became so large that I couldnât think of it as an ordinary inn.
Roughly going down the second floor of the building, you can see a colorful door. Maybe if you open that door, there will be people of the same age as your senior.
It was a moment when I was slightly looking forward to what kind of people they would be.
âYouâre here?â
âYouâre late.â
âAre you doing this because itâs your house?â
And inside the room, there are three men who are full of individuality,
âIâve been waiting.â
I saw a senior who was waiting for us with a bright smile.
The problem is that the seniorâŚ
âWhy are you hereâŚâŚ?â
âThatâs because Iâm the one who manages these four evil organizations, or most of the evil organizations on the continent.â
It is not the person who was the second disciple of the instructor, but the person who was the third disciple.
