“”””Bockmati!??””””
The family na of “Shitnei”, the infamous man at the other end of the magic crystal.
Even I recognized it.
『He is…… Inai’s son… I was unaware of the existence of such a person.』
The na, which surprised even Tre’ainar, was that of the boss of a once-infamous organization in the human underworld, and a man with ties to a Great General in the Demon King’s army.
“The rumored Shitnei…… is a Bockmati……”
“This is beyond shocking, Son of Inai Bockmati…… the boss of the Bockmati family that Hiro and Solja destroyed…… goodness, it’s shocking enough to learn that Onii-san is actually Hiro’s son Earth-kun, just what is happening right now.”
Naturally, Espie and Koujiro were also surprised by the na, and at the end of the day……
“”””WHAAAAAAAAAT!!!??? B-BOCKMATI!? WAIT, THIS IS THE FIRST TI WE’RE HEARING LORD SHITNEI’S REAL NA!!!???””””
“Wait, you guys didn’t know either!?”
Even the hunter-like n recruited by the Shitnei were astonished.
[Hahaha. I try not to use my full na too often because it’s troubleso. But I wanted to give you my na. As a fan.]
It was definitely surprising and unexpected.
But I don’t understand.
“W, wait a minute. You’re my fan…… Shouldn’t you hold a grudge?”
[Hmm? What do you an by that?]
“Don’t play dumb. It was my father who wiped out the Bockmati family. If that’s the case, then you must have a grudge against as well, not just my father. So why are you calling yourself a fan?”
I don’t know the details, but I do know that my father crushed the Bockmati family.
So why ?
But, at my words, Shitnei on the other side of the magic crystal laughed happily.
[Hahaha, apparently people think I’m so petty. Well, I’m not conceited enough to think I’m great, as a man or otherwise… but still, I’m a little hurt.]
“What?”
[Why pass on the sins of the father to the son? Don’t get wrong. I don’t hold any grudges. Not against your father… and certainly not against you. No, in the first place…… you rejected being the ‘son of the hero’, right? On top of that, you publicly denounced the Empire, and punched the great hero, Hiro, in the face.]
“Nuh…… Hmmm……”
[You should have been raised in an environnt of privilege and wealth that anyone would envy, and guaranteed a future of happiness, yet you rebelled against your father and the Empire, and even chose a fighting style completely different from that of the hero, Hiro. You demanded the world acknowledge you as you are, not as the hero’s son.]
“…………”
[Furthermore, in Cacretale, an environnt where no one treated you as the son of a hero, you were able to defeat the disciples of the Six Supremacy Jamdi’el through sheer effort, seize the glory, and make everyone recognize you as Earth Lagann and no one else. That’s really cool. I’ve co to admire this young man half my age.]
Wh, what? That’s a really generous complint.
He’s an enemy…… I think, but I’m a little embarrassed.
“Un, un…… I see, you know a lot about Big brother…… but I didn’t know about the Cacretale Tournant…… I’ll have to ask about that later.”
“No, Espie-jou. He just casually ntioned Jamdi’el of the Six Supremacy… what is happening? I’ve heard that Hiro’s son, Earth-kun, had run away from ho, but what’s going on?”
Moreover, Espie nodded deeply in agreent with Shitnei.
[That’s why, although I dislike Hiro Lagann, in the sense that he gets in the way of my work, I don’t have anything against you… or Bro Glenn, who fought against my father’s organization. In fact, I actually like you both. You both have cute butts… no, never mind.]
I could feel my cheeks getting hotter.
But if he’s not lying, then this situation is……
[Well, that aside, I accepted a request to dispatch our company’s hunters to Japone. The objective was to capture and eliminate Koujirou and Outei, the younger brother of King Umashika of the Japone Kingdom who left the royal palace when he got married… and his wife, Kagerou, the female head of a prestigious ninja clan… but given how… unfeasible that’s proven, and considering we’ve stalled them long enough, I’d like to withdraw our Hunters.]
“Huh? What a convenient thing to say!”
[If you allow us to withdraw, I’ll share valuable intel with you… as a trade.]
You’re really asking to let them off the hook here? What a convenient thing…… Hmm?
“You’ve got to be kidding … eh?! …The king’s… younger brother?!”
“Huh!?”
“What?”
Once again, so outrageous words ca out of Shitnei’s mouth.
“…… I was going to talk about that later……
“Seriously?”
When we turned around, Otei looked down a little, but didn’t deny it.
This is bad. I really need to sort this out or I’ll lose track of things……
“Geez…… Ah~, this situation is already getting ssy, and now you have information? What the hell is that? Even if you say you’ll retreat, if those Hunters ever set foot on this land again….”
[I understand. Our company will not be involved in that area from now on. I do not lie in my deals. Besides, this request ends here. We will not interfere in Japone’s internal affairs any further. We will do nothing. Or do you want to kill them? A thousand Hunters.]
“Nuh …… mu… well… in that case…….”
Anyway, if these guys are going to leave and not interfere with this land in the future, is that okay?
Sohow, I get the feeling that this guy isn’t lying. It has nothing to do with him being a fan of mine or anything.
It’s quicker than beating up a thousand people for nothing, and Espie didn’t seem to have any particular objections as she nodded.
[I am much obliged to you. So, the intel I have…… concerns Ms. Norja… and the investigation team from the Empire and the Demon Realm that was in Shiznautmy.]
“”””Huh!??””””
That’s exactly what we and Koujiro wanted to know the most.
How did Norja beco like this? And what happened to the investigators?
That is……
[The investigation team was annihilated by an attack from a certain demon.]
“Wh…… What?”
[And it seems that this person brainwashed Ms. Norja. This person also commissioned the request this ti. I can’t tell you who it is, contractually …… In any case, even if Koujiro and his people try to defect to the Empire, there is no longer an Imperial investigation team in Shiznautmy. And while we stalled them, all the major ports and ships on the continent have been seized by the Kingdom of Japone.]
“”””Eeeeh!!???””””
[You can’t escape this continent…… soon…… a large-scale barrier will be erected by a certain Archmage…….]
This information was not just for , but also for Koujiro and the others standing next to .
But at the sa ti, Fu’s father, whom I had often seen since I was a child, ca to my mind……
“What about Uncle Ben?! Is Uncle Ben okay?! Who did this!?”
[He’s not dead. I don’t know if he’s safe though. And I can’t say who the client is. Simply…… give a hint… he’s the strongest in the Demon Realm right now… maybe?]
“Wh, what!?”
This is bad. Do mother and father know about this? What are they doing? What about Uncle Ben?
What the hell is going on?
This isn’t just a problem within the Japone Kingdom, but sothing much… much bigger?
And while I was confused, Tre’ainar, who had been silent the whole ti……
『The current strongest in the Demon Realm…… who annihilated the investigation team… which comprised not only Norja, but also Benlinerve, one of the Seven Heroes… all things considered… I can only think of that man.』
He muttered with a confident expression.
