CH 395
I’ll go first, he said, so King Afmand steps forward, gets down on one knee, and opens his mouth in front of Geiri, who rolls over from the beating.
“Now, Geiri. You’re going to tell us where the treasure is so we can free the slaves. It would be easy to kill you, but that’s what I’m after. The throne is honestly secondary to me, unlike you.”
“…… You have good look in your eyes now. That’s a big difference from when you captured me, isn’t it?”
“Thanks for that. I’m sure you’ll change your mind after the attack on Darva and the loss of the soldiers. I don’t want to say I let my guard down, but I thought I was prepared.”
King Afmand mumbles to himself, and Dibit-san lights a cigarette and calls out to King Afmand’s back.
“But the way you deployed the troops and the orders I heard were excellent, you know? You are making good use of your skill. So, Geiri, do these hidden treasures exist? I didn’t think you’d need that to free the slaves.”
“The treasure …… exist. The “Wise Man’s Soul” is the one that the nasty man there was referring to earlier.”
“……! Where the hell is that!”
“Well, fine. I’ve lived too long, and the coup d’état has failed. It’s about time for Pluto to come for me.”
When the name “Pluto” was mentioned, Retzel’s eyebrows twitched. And then, without losing his smile, he said to King Afmand.
“Oh, it seems that King Afmand and I are talking about the same thing, and that Lars-kun’s question is going to be answered at the same time, isn’t it? What do you mean when you said that the “Wise Man’s Soul” is a treasure?”
“I’m sure that he’ll point to his own crotch and say, “This is the treasure”!”
“……”
“You’re disgusting!?”
“Isn’t this what Basleighs-sensei always does?”
“What are you saying!? Basleigh-sensei, shut up! Radia.”
“Grrr.”
“Ahh, Radia-san–.”
“Geiri, keep talking.”
I took care of Basleigh-sensei who suddenly interrupts and disturbs the atmosphere, and restores the flow. Retzel silently smiled through it, and Irumi was screaming. Reiss is right, it’s the same as usual, but I want you to stop for now ……
“Huh. I never thought I’d get done in by these happy-go-lucky bastards. I’m a bit pissed off myself …… The treasure is definitely the “Wise Man’s Soul”. I was not going to tell anyone about this until I die, but I think it would be quicker to start with the story of the little boy and the doctor. All right?”
“…… if you’ll finally tell me.”
When King Afmand nodded, Geiri slyly dragged his body, resting it against the wall, and began to speak.
“…… Born the eldest of three brothers, I was a pretty normal guy. We didn’t get along too badly. However, a hundred years ago, the king, my father, was a picture of dictatorship, forcing us to kill slaves to train with the sword, and even destroying a village because of low taxes.”
“He’s quite a scumbag. It’s not surprising that you’re in this situation if you’re the ruler of a country with his blood in your veins.”
“Well, yeah. Now, let’s talk about Pluto. He’s not like me and the third son, Hindel, he was a guy who could do a lot of things with his [Jack-of-all-Trades] skill. He was a humble guy, but he was definitely gaining strength step by step. Kid, it’s the same for you too, right?”
“…… Yeah.”
Geiri looked at me and said that, so I gave him a short reply.
“Basically, the eldest son would take over the throne, but he definitely had the ability to do better than me with only a sword. But my father began to fear Pluto, who was …… bringing forth one reform after another.”
“Fear? If it’s good for the country, shouldn’t he accept it?”
“The little girl was right, the talk of freeing the slaves, working with other countries to bring greenery back to the wilderness, and creating jobs was appealing and realistic. But what do you think will happen when the slaves are gone and the jobs are properly arranged?”
“I think it would be a good thing ……”
He shook his head and replied to Makina’s reply.
“Some of the wealthy, such as our royal family, will not be able to live in luxury. They are just enslaving and exploiting their people without taking any measures. You can get more than that in the long run …… but my father didn’t even think about it and scolded Pluto harshly.”
“So you’re saying that it was your father who caused what happened to Pluto? I heard it was you.”
“There’s more. My father thinks that the present is good enough, and Pluto thinks that it’s not good enough. The two sides of the story remained parallel, and then the incident happened. Pluto’s girlfriend has been murdered.”
“…… Hoh~.”
Retzel stopped smiling, put his hand on his chin and narrowed his eyes. “It’s not what I was told”, that’s the kind of face he’s making.
“The main culprit is of course my father. My father, who took the shallow and foolish step of thinking that killing his girlfriend would make him more quiet. No, my father, who could not even do politics properly, was a fool to begin with. Of course, Pluto was never going to be quiet, and his gentle nature changed completely. ……”
The first time I saw him, his blank expression turned into one of self-mockery, and he shook his head again to get rid of it before opening his mouth.
“After that, he spent most of his time in his room or out of the house. Even though he knew he was the culprit, he never mentioned my father, and I never knew what he was doing. But one day, he told us, smiling for the first time since he lost his girlfriend.”
◆ ◇ ◆
(Hahahaha! Brother, I finally finished it! Now I can kill that guy!)
(What is this thing, Pluto?)
(It’s a stone with mystical powers. With it, I can kill him and free the slaves …… Maybe I can even bring back the dead Nyaia–)
“Hey, Pluto! Pull it together! Dead people don’t come back to life! I know you hate father. But he’s still the person called the [God of War], not someone you can kill in a fight–“
(Kuku ……)
(Brother, that is!?)
◆ ◇ ◆
“–The first time he had smiled in a long time, Pluto had grown stronger. Magic, sword–“
“But if he’s like Lars, he can get stronger with training, right? [Jack-of-all-Trades] is that kind of skill, after all.”
“Fath-san is right. What about it …… no, did Pluto say it was “finished”? No way ……”
“I’m sure it’s what you’re thinking about. I’ve heard that Pluto created the “Wise Man’s Soul”.”
“That’s right …… He didn’t get strong through training …… He got strong through external methods. What is needed to create the Wise Man’s Soul is something of equivalent value. He paid for it with the life of a …… slave.”
I seem to have forgotten Afterword lately ……!!
