259 - - 18th episode: Big Brother

(It's not good, it's not good - ....... If this continues, Mee will be ......)

While the Wrights were touring the Principality of Six, the young elites of the Majin Nation were sitting together at a table eating lunch.

The top ranks had already finished their meals, and they were having lunch afterwards.

Sharing a meal is also a way for the young people to get to know each other better.

During such a meal, Diablo looked so pale that he looked as if he was about to collapse.

He was worrying about how to deal with Dirk - the light that survived the "abyss" by sacrificing his face to burns.

If he makes a bad move, the "Witch of the Giant Tower" will make a move, and if he leaves it alone, his superiors will find out that Light is still alive and he will lose his job.

He thought of a way out, but nothing came to mind.

I thought of a way out of this, but nothing came to mind. If you're not feeling well, perhaps you should rest?"

Fried, the second son of the Countess of Majinokuni, who is the leader of the young elites, calls out to them.

Even though they are rivals, Diablo's current condition is worrisome.

He also wanted to avoid making the mistake of having Diablo fall at an important moment, which would raise doubts about his own aptitude as a leader.

Diablo's body trembles at Freed's words, and he hurriedly puts on a smile.

Thank you for your concern, Sir Fried. I've been having trouble dreaming lately, but my physical condition is fine.

I hope so. The reason for my bad dreaming is that I saw a human (inferior species) kid's face the other day, which was too ugly. That was really bad."

Freed remembers Dirk's burned face, scowls grimly, and picks up his wine glass.

The other young men followed suit.

That was terrible, that's for sure. It could be said that the originally ugly human (inferior species) just got uglier.

"That's as a result of Lord Diablo calling him off, though. ...... Why he did that is beyond me.

............"

Diablo is silent in his sarcasm.

I can't tell him, 'I saw a guy in front of me who had the same habits as the light I was supposed to have killed, so I wanted to make sure I saw his face.

Diablo, who does not seem to be amused by Diablo's lack of response to his sarcasm, shifts the subject to the younger guys.

Speaking of ugly, my younger brother often tortures his slaves to death when he throws tantrums, saying, 'I don't like the ugly faces of the humans (inferior species). I understand how he feels, but as a person in a higher position, I don't think it is right to kill human beings (inferior species) just because they are ugly. If you kill them, you can't make them work until they die.

Yes, we are the future supporters of the Majin Nation. It is a problem to kill every single human (inferior species), no matter how ugly they are, and to reduce their labor force.

'Quintessential Sir Freed!　If my brother had even a shred of Lord Fried's wisdom, he wouldn't be wasting his time like that. ...... I guess we spoiled him a little too much because he is the youngest brother in the family.

Haha, I can understand spoiling the younger siblings," he said. I find myself spoiling my younger siblings. Even my father gets angry with me, saying, 'Freed, don't spoil your younger sisters so much.

Your sister is a very beautiful, intelligent, and accomplished woman," he said. As an older brother, I can't help but spoil her.

The laughter of the Freeds echoes through the dining room.

If one ignores the content of the conversation, it was truly a friendly luncheon.

However, Diablo was the only one not laughing and peering into the conversation.

He said, "...... Ladies and gentlemen, I've remembered something I have to do, so I'll leave you here now.

?"　Sir Diablo."

Ignoring Fried and the others' voices, Diablo leaves the cafeteria with quick steps, ignoring the too abrupt departure from his seat.

(Brother, sister--brother!)

The conversation he had just had hit him like a lightning strike, stimulating his brain cells and reminding him of a fact.

Returning to his room at the maximum speed possible to avoid the displeasure of those around him, he dumps the contents of his bag of papers on the table.

The documents in the bag were those of his own fiefdom, of which Diablo is the head.

He has a lot of paperwork to do since he has ousted his brother and the ascension to the throne.

He has no problem with it because he knows that this is necessary for him to become the head of the family, but there are so many that he even brought them with him to this meeting.

But he had so much to do that he brought it to this meeting as well. It was a desperate measure, because it was an important meeting and he could not just ignore us and devote himself to the paperwork.

I threw all the documents on the table.

Diablo's eyes widened and he checked the documents with bloodshot eyes.

No!　This one's different too!　This one is different too!"

With a devil-may-care expression on his face, he checked the documents one by one.

After checking all the documents, he checked them again, one by one, to see if he had missed something, but he still found nothing.

Diablo held his head down with one hand.

I'm sure I didn't find anything in these documents?　But I'm sure Mee has identified the name of Wright's brother somewhere - ......."

Yes, I heard the words "brother, sister, brother" at the luncheon just now, and I remembered that the name of Wright's brother was written on the document.

For reasons unknown, he remembered that Wright's brother had been brought to his own territory as a slave.

There was no doubt that it was not the same name, and that Wright was being investigated by the whole country.

Finally, he determined that Wright was 'an ordinary person who got a slightly different hazing benefit (gift) as a conclusion. But the investigation went all the way to his relatives, and his brother's name was also shared with some number of people as information.

Diablo is confident in his memory and remembers his brother Wright's name, and when he saw his age, place of birth, and general height and weight on the documents, he asked, "How did my brother Wright end up in Mee?" I remember wondering why.

I was busy at the time, so I let it slide normally.

I don't know what time it was that I saw the document - ....... It's been a few years, but if they were still alive, they would be a bargaining chip for Wright, wouldn't they?"

But I can't remember what time the document was.

The fact that it is not at hand means that it must return to its own territory.

However, he is currently in the middle of an important meeting.

If he were to leave at this point, it would obviously damage his career.

I don't know when Wright will reveal that he is alive," he said. If he does, Mee is finished. I can make up for the damage to my career as much as I can later!

Diablo inspires himself to make a hard decision.

Every minute was too precious now.
