Otome Game Mob Villain Chapter 379

According to a report from Salvia at the intelligence division, I learned that the unit of unknown affiliation that attacked the workshop was using "hakoujutsu" (the art of transformation).

Judging them to be more troubleso than I had imagined, I asked a boy I t in the city, who called himself Almond, a fox-man who had keen insight and seed to know sothing, to help .

I briefly explained the situation of what was happening, but I couldn't give too many details in a town with a lot of people coming and going.

So we move to the place where they are staying, which is the most exclusive inn in the city.

Almond told that he ran a trading company in Zubera, the Beast Kingdom, but there must be sothing more to it.

When I arrived at their room and entered, I was greeted by a young man.

"Welco back, everyone".

Almond answered as if he were about to say, " Hello, Rick," and I thought I saw a look of concern in his eyes.

Then Almond continued.

Rick, I t these guys in town,, and they're in trouble, so I thought I'd help them out.

When he introduced , I cleared my throat and stepped forward.

Rick had yellow hair and kind brown eyes, but his ears were slightly different from Almond's and the others', and they stood up straight.

His clothes were like those worn by Capella and Garn.

I'm Rid, nice to et you. And this is Diana. She's my bodyguard.

"Pleased to et you."

Rick's brow wrinkles as I introduce myself.

"Thank you both for your politeness. But what in the world is this ......?" He looks at Almond, a little puzzled.

'Well, a lot of things. But more importantly, before we hear what Lid has to say, let's spread out the map we have on the desk there. Rick, help ."

'...... awe.'

Almond says, and he and Rick walk into the back of the room.

Rifa and Ridley picked up the drinks provided in the room and sat down in the empty chairs.

Not long after, Almond and Rick brought a map from the back of the room and spread it out on the largest desk in the room.

When Diana and I saw the map, we couldn't help but roll our eyes.

The map was almost identical to the map that the Bardia family kept.

No, the map that Almond had brought might be a little more accurate in terms of the details of the border areas.

In my previous life, maps were available on the Internet and could be easily purchased at bookstores.

But a map is essentially very important information.

In a military context, knowing the detailed geography of a country, whether attacking or defending, allows a country to move more efficiently and to a greater advantage.

For a country, having a detailed map of its own country in another country is a considerable threat in itself.

Almond smiled at and Diana, whether he knew we were worried or not.

I'll help you,......, I promised, didn't I? There may be things we can't say to each other right now, but I want to say this again. But I want to reiterate that I am on your side. I am on your side."

Diana's eyes change color at the map spread out in front of her and the implication in her words.

She instantly assud an atmosphere that could be described as a warlike attitude.

But so did Rick, who was standing by her side.

As the air in the room becos tense and heavy, my thoughts wander.

Once again, I wondered if I should believe Almond's words or not.

But if he really intended to antagonize , there was no need to go to the trouble of showing him to the inn where I was staying.

I could have just ignored him.

And there was no need to show or Diana the map spread out on the desk.

If Almond was really one of the enemy, his behavior was inexplicable.

Eventually, I nodded my head.

"All right, Almond. I believe you. But if anything happens to the children you tricked into kidnapping, I ...... will never forgive you."

As I said this, the air in the room beca even heavier and the walls of the room creaked faintly, as if my feelings for the attacker had responded to my magic.

Almond gulped with cold sweat on his forehead, as if he had been hit by the magic power emanating from .

"...... That's scary. I'll keep that in mind."

After that, I explained the details of the abduction case to them again and told them what I thought.

"I think the most likely culprit in this case is soone who belongs to Zubair."

What makes you think that?" Almond nodded his head.

It's a process of elimination. First of all, if an Imperial noble is behind it, the risk of exposure is too high. The children of beastn are too prominent in the empire. Besides, it would be easy to find out if the products made in Bardia ca out from another territory in the sa country. Also, considering the relationship between Barsto and Bardia, there is no need to take such dangerous asures. The sa goes for Renalute. The other countries are too far away from Bardia, so it's like, inevitably, Zubera is more likely."

"I see. ...... If you know that much, why don't you just seal the border leading to Zubera?"

I shook my head at Almond's suggestion.

"The entire border is too large. Besides, the attackers would not necessarily go directly to Zubera. It is also possible that the attackers will enter Zubayrra via Barsto. As I said before, the attackers were divided into five groups. I am sure they will et once in Bardia. The question is where ......."

Hm,......," he said, and turned his attention to Rifa, who was holding Ridley in her arms and playing with him.

'Sister,...... what would you think?"

"Oh? Why are you asking ?"

"I'm just wondering what kind of plan you would co up with if your 'sister'...... were the attacker. For your information, I would like you to tell ."

I felt sothing strange in their conversation, but Rifereleased Ridley from her embrace, got up from her chair, and ca over to .

She glanced at the map spread out on the desk and looked at Almond with narrowed eyes.
