Chapter 13 Secret Maneuvers 2
Well then, how about I ask him again after this sudden attack, yes?
Rena: 「Will you listen to me obediently this time?」
Aniki: 「……alright.」
He obediently nodded after I asked so while playing with the dismantled person who had attacked me just now. If you do that from the beginning, this won’t have to take a lot of time, you know?
Rena: 「Uwaah, you’re surprisingly meek, I see…」
Aniki: 「Please, just talk to me and make it as convenient as possible, and I’m asking you to stop torturing my men…」
Rena: 「? Torturing? …Well, alright. I will stop playing with him, so shall we talk?」
Aniki: 「…………thanks.」
I was finally guided to the back room this time. Are they the escort of this Middle boss (Temp)? There are quite a few of them who are following us but, all of them are looking at me as if I’m a monster, aren’t they?…………it makes me want to kill them because they remind me of my father.
Aniki: 「………You guys, don’t look at the guests that much.」
Aniki’s men: 「『WE’RE SORRY!』」
As I thought, this is the best game I have ever played. This atmosphere really helps me a lot.
Aniki: 「This is the place, come on in.」
Rena: 「Sorry for disturbing.」
The place is located somewhere where you could just go straight from the back alley and passed through a location that is completely filled with a sense of cleanliness.
Aniki: 「Sit there.」
Rena: 「Alright, I will do so.」
Ooh, This feels as if I’m drowning… and suddenly a woman appeared and withdrew out of nowhere after placing the tea and sweets on the table.
The Moonlight Family’s financial strength is reflected from this place. As expected, do antisocial forces still yield profit?
Aniki: 「So, what do you want to talk about?」
Rena: 「Would you like to become the Feudal Lord of this city?」
Aniki: 「……………………Sorry, I didn’t hear you. Can you say it one more time?」
Oya? I thought I have told him properly….
Rena: 「…Shall I cut you as well?」
Aniki: 「W-wait a minute! I heard you! I heard you!」
I can’t believe you suddenly joke like that.
Rena: 「You’re surprisingly a humorous person, yes?」
Aniki: 「Haha! Right?」
But it seems he’s not accustomed by saying so that much. He also has a twitching smile plastered on his face right now.
Aniki: 「S-so, what’s this about becoming the Feudal Lord? I want you to explain it in more detail.」
Rena: 「Let’s see. The truth is, I’m a wanted person, that is for causing a big riot on the surface world.」
Aniki: 「……….so it was you (*facepalm*)….」
Rena: 「Due to that reason, I couldn’t go shopping at the surface world and I can’t use the facilities either. two of my inn owner’s fingers were already been sacrificed so that I could actually stay at her inn.」
Aniki: 「……」
Rena: 「It’s still fine if it’s about 『Playing』 but, I think it won’t be that fun if the people have to be in such a bad mood, and my time would also be wasted as well.」
Aniki: 「…………」
Rena: 「Therefore, because of this occasion, I have thought that I should make a puppet that is convenient for myself, how is that sound?」
Aniki: 「…………wait, I can’t judge it by myself, so I can’t decide right away. I know you’re serious, but give me some time.」
Rena: 「I see, that’s unfortunate but I’ll wait…However, the deadline will be next week.」
Aniki: 「Alright.」
It seems that it will take some time for him.
He looks really reluctant about it but, thankfully he accept it.
Rena: 「And there’s one more.」
Aniki: 「……there’s still something else?」
Rena: 「Yes, there is. If possible, I wanted some good equipment and good medicinal tools and materials」
Aniki: 「Take as much as you like in the basement.……」
Ohh! What a generous person! This is a great favor, yes?
Rena: 「That is truly great, thank you very much.」
After saying so, I got up from my seat and immediately went straight there, butーーー
Aniki: 「Wait a minute. let me tell you one last thing.」
Rena: 「? What is it?」
Aniki: 「While waiting for a week, where and what are you planning to do?」
Let’s see, because I have nothing to do in those days, what should I do?
Rena: 「Hmm……. Well, I could crush the Yagan Family, you see? Let’s treat it as an advance payment.」
Aniki: 「……T-that’s really grateful but, I haven’t decide whether I would like to cooperate or not, you know?」
Rena: 「…………You refuse?」
Eh? What? I thought it ended in a good mood but it was only me, huh… It’s unfortunate, truly unfortunate, butーーー
Rena: 「----Let’s hope for the next person after you.」
ーーーI said so while brandishing my dagger.
Aniki: 「W-wait a minute! I didn’t say I won’t cooperate, did I!? I’ll talk over with the higher-ups so that I could absolutely work with you! So please!」
Rena: 「As I thought you’re not the boss after all, huh? Or rather, are you someone who had just been promoted? Well, I’m not interested if you will cooperate or not, though…」
Aniki: 「I-I’m not lying!」
Rena: 「I know, well that’s fine…….One week, please look forward to it, yes?」
After saying so, I left the room and went straight to the underground warehouse to take all of the things that were stored in there and went back home.
The person who guided me to the underground warehouse had a twitching face but did not complain at all.
Let’s log out around here for today. I will crush the Yagan Family tomorrow in parallel with raising the level of my Medicine skill.
Junior: 「……Aniki, is this fine? 」
Aniki: 「……Can’t be helped, You and I still don’t want to die, right? 」
Junior: 「That’s right but……」
The other party that I had been talking to is now gone and I feel tired only because of her. My men are worrying about me when I lean on to the sofa.
I responded to all of them while discussing on how to tell this situation about the cooperation from her to the boss and the other leaders. Not long after, one of my men who was guiding that woman, came back.
Junior: 「Aniki.……」
Aniki: 「How was she?」
Junior: 「She was humming in a good mood from beginning to end.」
Aniki: 「……is that so? I wish I could be like her.」
My stomach hurts because of her, you know………….
Aniki: 「And? What did she take? You have confirmed it, of course? I want her information right now even if it’s just a little bit.」
Junior: 「That is……」
Aniki: 「……What is it? Don’t you dare say you forgot to check it, okay?」
He pressed a question to his men who is being evasive, while in annoyance.
Junior: 「That’s not it, it’s……」
Aniki: 「What? Don’t waste my time, quickly speak.」
Junior: 「………..of it.」
Aniki: 「Ha?」
Junior: 「She took all of it.……」
Aniki: 「…………What did you say? 」
Junior: 「Like I said, she took all of the things that is stored in the warehouse even the light bulbs and candlesticks, everything……」
And so, I fainted because of too much stress. Please give me a break, geez…….
