294 - - Episode 20 The Rage of Aoyuki

I was reading a report in my office at the lowest level of "The Abyss.

The report was about the Diablo operation.

It seems that the operation is going quite well.

Yes, thanks to the efforts of Mera, Mohawk, and the others on the ground.

May, who brought the report, smiles and agrees with my statement.

-When I went to check on Lilith, who had taken the throne of the racial kingdom, I received a one-sided notice from the demon kingdom. The content of the notice was truly terrible, and although it was blurred to avoid direct expression, it declared, "We will enter the territory of the racial kingdom and plunder wheat, hunt racial slaves, burn villages, and commit robbery and massacre as an example.

Lilith, the queen of the racial kingdom, who did not have the strength to fight off the soldiers of the demon kingdom, asked us to defend her.

I came up with a plan to use that request to harass Diablo and put pressure on him that would lead to his destruction.

The contents of the plan were: "We will treat Diablo's people well and send them back to the Mage Kingdom. In exchange, we would execute anyone else who committed the crime of attacking the village on the spot as an example.

Thanks to the efforts of Mera, Mohawk, and the others, Diablo is being suspected by the First Prince of Volos, who is taking charge in place of the bedridden king, as per my plan, and is being heaped with harsh words.

I even burst out laughing while reading the report, as things are going completely according to our plan.

The only complaint I have is that I can't see Diablo making excuses for his behavior when he is being chastised by his superiors.

I wish I could have seen the scene with the "SSR Clairvoyant" card, but I don't have that much time on my hands, and because of the distance, I can't see him from the lowest level of the "abyss" (here). ......"

There were zero complaints, but the results were generally satisfactory.

After a full round of enjoyment, I put down my papers and moved on to the next topic.

Sorry, Aoyuki, for keeping you waiting."

No," he said. If the Lord says to wait, my men will wait forever. No problem."

I'm glad to see everyone's loyalty, including Aoyuki's.

I almost let out a faint giggle at the too high level of loyalty. It doesn't have to be that extreme.

However, I could not afford to put a damper on the situation, so I responded in a safe manner.

Aoyuki, who had also appeared in his office to say that he had a report to make, was unusually tense the entire time.

He is holding back because he is in front of me, but inside he is on a killing spree that seems to be overflowing at any moment. The air was so heavy and sharp that it felt as if it would break if you touched it.

If level 9999 Aoyuki leaks his killing spirit, this is what will happen.

(But it is rare to see Aoyuki so angry. What in the world happened to him?)

I ask her, twisting my head inwardly.

She says she has something to report. ......

This is--this."

When Aoyuki voices her agreement, she immediately speaks up with a report.

The content of the report is--a call came in via Aoyuki's Taimonster on an urgent basis.

Apparently, some people are investigating the "Black Clown" party, especially "Dark.

This is a report from one of my subordinates who has infiltrated the Adventurers' Guild.

If it were simply a matter of gathering information to request quests from the "Black Clown" party, there would be no need to report it, but ...... it seems that the people who are probing are not legitimate people.

They are not only asking for information from the Adventurers' Guild through the proper channels, but they are also gathering information through illegal methods.

From their tactics, I could guess that they were gathering information for the purpose of assassinating me, Dirk.

The reason why I know that they are gathering information for the purpose of assassinating me is because they have gathered information for the purpose of assassinating me several times in the past.

Since there are many similarities with their methods, the purpose of the information gathering was soon discovered.

（Because the human race, which is despised as an inferior race in the world on earth, stood out as adventurers, there were many people who tried to assassinate us out of jealousy or to make an example of us so that other races would not be put on the spotlight. ...... (Of course, we had countermeasures in place, so we didn't have to deal with them at all.)

All those who have tried to carry out assassinations in the past are no longer with us. All have been dealt with.

Surprisingly, however, the most common reason for assassinations and attacks was not so that the race (humans) would not get carried away, etc.

Rather, it was "those who wanted to get rid of me and Gold, who were in the way, in order to get Nemumu, who is as beautiful as a fairy princess.

Can we call this a 'love affair' as well?

'The scoundrels who hold my destiny in bondage!

'Princess Nemmu!　Your prince is here to help!

I will rescue you from the prison that surrounds you!

More than once, adventurers, fat merchants, craftsmen's apprentices, and other men who were enthralled by Nemum's beauty, came screaming at him with weapons in their hands.

In a manner of speaking, this was also an assassination. So, taking all this into account, the number of "Nemum-related assassination cases" is much larger.

As one would expect, these men could not be killed, so Gold mainly beat them unconscious and handed them over to the guards in charge of the area.

This may be one of the reasons why Nemumu has become so stubborn and ill-tempered toward the people on the ground.

However, listening to Aoyuki's story, the assassination this time was not such a "love affair" kind of funny story.

I heard that there is a very famous assassination group behind the scenes that is after my life.

I heard that one of the best assassination groups in the world, the "Assassination Executioners (Blow)," or ......, is trying to kill me. I may or may not have heard that kind of urban legend at the drinking table during the "Gathering of Tribes" days. ......

I try to remember the past while holding my temples grimly with one hand.

But I may be mistaken, because there are so many different urban legends of that kind.

May asks me back.

Is it true that the skilled members of the assassination society Blow are trying to kill Mr. Wright?

'--This. The "Morte Spada," as it is called, is a group of men and women who are not aware of their own position and are trying to kill the Lord.

Aoyuki's murderous intent increases.

Apparently, she has been furious all along when she heard this information, 'they are trying to kill me'.

I was so happy to hear Aoyuki's angry feelings that I almost started to smile.

She advises, leaking her murderous intent without concern.

Lord, please give Aoyuki the order to kill all these irredeemable fools who have no sense of humility. Like the hounds of hell, I will seize every last one of these fools as they hunt for their lives, and I will bring them before the Lord and show you how I will feed them to the dogs while they live.

I would like to know what you would like me to do. Aoyuki and I will take the heads of all such tactless people and give them pain, despair, and death so that they will regret whose life they have aimed at in front of me.

Aoyuki hides her eyes with a hoodie and tells the story with a calm, angry, and murderous tone.

Mei sympathized with her line and ran for office herself.

I let out a wry smile and wave my hand to calm them down.

If you two are serious, I know that those who are only capable of assassination are no match for you, and I'm very glad that you are angry with me for my sake. But for now, I have to catch them as usual and get them to give up the information about who commissioned them first. ...... Honestly, though, at this point in time, I don't even need to find out who the client is."

I looked into the distance and caught sight of Diablo, who was supposed to be invisible.
