Thanks for reading~
I can"t hold back my excitement.
I"ve already forgotten the unpleasant feeling I had from seeing those disgusting people and that scene.
"Oi, bald macho. Where did you get that katana?" (Velt)
I didn"t think I would get a hint so quickly.
By the time I realized it, I had become talkative.
"Geh!" (Sea Thieves Member)
"Wha, what is this brat saying to aniki!" (Sea Thieves Member)
"Kukuku, how stupid are you, you’re totally dead now." (Sea Thieves Member)
Now now, don"t say that.
No one can understand my current feelings. Not even Ura and Farga can.
This feeling is the same feeling I had when I reunited with "ramen" and "karate" in this world.
"Gahahahah! Kid~, that"s qui~te an interesting thing you"re saying. Do you not even know who my great self is?" (Jeed)
Stupid dialogue is just a waste of time for my current self.
"Fuwa fuwa merry-go-round." (Velt)
"Ah? Wh, what, my body, is." (Jeed)
"Enjoy a hundred circles for now." (Velt)
"Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Wha, what, ey, eyes are, why is my body." (Jeed)
I just floated his body up a bit, and just spun him in a clockwise rotation round and round.
"Wha, aniki! Aniki is!" (Sea Thieves Member)
"Wait, why, what happened, aniki!" (Sea Thieves Member)
"Uwaaaa, it"s, it"s not stopping! Some, someone stop me-!" (Jeed)
It would be better not to stop him, since I"m spinning him at a high speed like a spinning top.
Recklessly touching him would just send you flying.
"Ugyaaa!" (Sea Thieves Member)
"Guwaaa." (Sea Thieves Member)
See.
The underlings got blown off easily.
"Stupid younger brother. Even though you didn"t have that much interest, you were unexpectedly fast to make a move." (Farga)
"What"s wrong, Velt?" (Ura)
It seems the two noticed my change of state.
But just let me off for now.
Since right now, I"m feeling good.
"Ugee, eye, eyes are spin, ugeee, disgusting." (Jeed)
At a speed that he wouldn"t lose consciousness, I spun him a hundred times.
In exchange for staying awake, the world probably became all flabby, his mind would be spinning, and he probably feels unpleasant.
Even a man with a muscular, big body, is staggering more than a drunkard.
"A, aniki was, thi, this d.a.m.n brat!" (Sea Thieves Member)
"Kill him!" (Sea Thieves Member)
I told you not to disturb me.
"Fuwa fuwa panic." (Velt)
By the way, there is a difference between fuwa fuwa merry-go-round and fuwa fuwa panic.
Fuwa fuwa panic is a move to make the opponent lose consciousness in an instant.
By simply moving my finger, all the hoodlums in the tavern fainted in an instant and fell over.
"Uoo, wha, what is this! What did that lad do?" (Shop owner)
"Who? What kind of person is he, sca, scary." (Daughter)
Ahh, well, I don"t feel like I saved her, but am I irregular enough to make the woman that was getting attacked, scared of me?
Well, I don"t really care though.
Ah, but I can clearly see your panties from your ripped up clothes, so at least hide that.
Since my body is going through p.u.b.erty, it was somewhat on my mind. By the way, it was a strawberry design.
However, my mind was so full with what was in front of me that my eyes weren"t s.n.a.t.c.hed away by the strawberries.
"Yo~, aniki-san. How are you feeling?" (Velt)
"U, da, dastard, who da h.e.l.l, are you? Wha, what kind of magic did you use." (Jeed) (TL Note: Misp.r.o.nouncing words because he spun too many times.)
"Who the h.e.l.l cares about something like that. Well, while I"m at it, I might as well say that I don"t care or know who you a.s.shole are and what kind of business you"re running. What I"m interested in, is the katana you"re holding." (Velt)
Drawing the katana from Jeed"s waist while his visual point still hasn"t settled, I entered the main question while putting the blade against Jeed"s face.
"Kuh, what do you want, b.a.s.t.a.r.d, are you trying to threaten me?" (Jeed)
"Don"t worry, I’m not going to use this, I just want to ask you something." (Velt)
"A, ahh?" (Jeed)
"Where did you get this?" (Velt)
"Hii!" (Jeed)
"If you don"t answer, I"ll spin you another hundred times." (Velt)
Where did he get it. Who made it. Who thought of it.
There are plenty of things I want to ask.
However,
"I, I don"t know! I don"t know anything!" (Jeed)
"Fu~nn, then another hundred times it is." (Velt)
"Wa, wait! I"m serious, I seriously don"t know anything! That was a weapon the demi-human I fought with the day before yesterday had, and I stole it because it was unusual!" (Jeed)
It was quite a cornered shout. He"s probably saying the truth.
Rather, that reminds me, he was saying something like that at the start too.
He called it a samurai sword that a demi-human swordswoman had.
"Fu~nn. Then, where is this demi-human swordswoman? Where did you meet her? Like, did you kill her?" (Velt)
"Why, why do I have to say that much to-" (Jeed)
"Fifty times." (Velt)
"Gugyaaaaaaa, eye, eyes are, uoeeee." (Jeed)
"Answer me before you get covered in vomit." (Velt)
"O, okay, I get it, I"ll tell you! It was near the undersea tunnel I pa.s.sed by the day before yesterday at the old Bolbardie! Since we heard that smuggling ships occasionally appear in the undersea tunnel to get seafood you can"t get near the Demi-human Continent, we went and caught them!" (Jeed)
Bolbardie? That"s quite nostalgic.
The country that Samejima and the others destroyed, huh.
However, this is my first time hearing of the undersea tunnel.
"Wait a minute, hasn"t the undersea tunnel that Bolbardie dug already been sealed up, like the underground, continent tunnel?" (Ura)
"Ura, do you know something about it?" (Velt)
"Yeah. Bolbardie specialized in tunnels. Not only beneath Humanity Continent, they even dug tunnels in the seabed………… no, rather than dug, they made them. Because that extended to the Demon Continent, it became a cause for war against the Vesparda Kingdom." (Ura)
I see. In other words, they made a tunnel to the Demi-human Continent too.
However, if they find out, that would certainly become dangerous.
"I"ve heard of that story too. They did actually seal some, but Bolbardie made them connect everywhere, so to be honest, no one knows all of the tunnels." (Farga)
I understood from Farga"s words.
Certainly, unsealed tunnels means that no one knows about it.
Since Bolbardie was destroyed, if you use an unknown tunnel, you can get great profits.
Well, Vesparda, that Samejima lead, was faster than anyone, and it seems they had their eyes on them anyways.
"I see. However, how did hoodlum corps like these guys notice that tunnel and the existences of demi-humans there?" (Velt)
"No, isn"t that why they knew? Stupid younger brother, the information network of a commerce guild is a lot better than you think they are. From behind the scene information, to even information on other races are collected, depending on the money paid. They creep around the ground much more than the management of a country filled with elites, and gain information." (Farga)
"Ho~, so they gain information through legwork. That"s such a waste, even though they could have become fine businessmen as long as they didn"t work for bad people." (Velt)
Oops, I derailed form the topic too much. This isn"t the problem, it"s the weapon made by copying a j.a.panese sword.
"So, where"s that demi-human? Or did you kill her and the others?" (Velt)
"I, I didn"t kill them! All of them, well, ah, um, I failed to catch them." (Jeed)
His eyes are swimming. This is a lie.
"Fifty times." (Velt)
"Ple, please, stop, I"m begging you, just that!" (Jeed)
"Then say it. What did you do with them?" (Velt)
"Uuu, tha, that is, um." (Jeed)
Rather than him telling a lie, this is him not wanting to say something he"s guilty of. That"s how it looks.
Just looking at the cold sweat coming out of Jeed and his eyes, I can somewhat feel that.
He probably didn"t kill them, but the fact that he let them go was a lie.
Then, all I can think of is……
"Oi, you d.a.m.n baldie." (Velt)
"Hi, hii!" (Jeed)
"If I remember correctly, demi-humans and demons sell at a high price in the slave market at Shiromu, right?" (Velt)
"Guh, uuuuu." (Jeed)
"Especially female, well proportioned people from other races are priceless treasures with those d.a.m.n rich pieces of trash that grew tired of human women." (Velt)
I see, so he doesn"t want to say it.
"I see, so you"ve imprisoned them to sell them, huh." (Velt)
"You really are a hopeless low life." (Ura)
"You piece of s.h.i.t." (Farga)
What laws do you treat slaves and prisoners of war again?
Well, I"m not interested in that, but if I get careless, I feel like Farga and Ura might kill Jeed.
If eyes that look like they"re looking at garbage waste are pointed at you, it"s scary enough to make you fall from shock.
Sure enough, Jeed became more frightened of the other two, and his body is trembling in a way that looks like it’s jiggling.
Gross…………
However, it would be troubling if he got killed now. Like, rather, I don"t want my friends to kill people so easily.
"Oi, bald macho. Let us investigate your cargo right now. She"s there, right? The owner of this, inside the ship." (Velt)
"Wa, wa, wait! Please let me off for that! We already messaged the auctioneer that we"ve received demi-humans! There are already a flood of applicants! If I mess this up, I"ll be killed, and you guys won"t be let off so easily either! There are already lots of high rank n.o.bles from various countries giving good deals. If you"re careless, many countries will become your enemy!" (Jeed)
"Isn"t it better than going through something disgusting enough to die right now?" (Velt)
"Don"t, don"t f.u.c.k with me! In the first place, slavery is a rule that"s approved by the Humanity Continent!" (Jeed)
Eh, seriously?
I thought slavery was out since it"s a country where they do illegal transactions and have a pleasure quarter, but was I wrong?
When I look back with that kind of face, Farga closes his eyes and nod.
"Certainly. It doesn"t fit well with the Elfarshia Kingdom that"s in such a d.a.m.n remote region though. There are also job placement roles for prisoners of war and defeated soldiers." (Farga)
Job placements, huh. Well, the meaning is probably completely different to h.e.l.lo Work, but it"s quite a strong culture shock. (TL Note: h.e.l.lo Work is the name for the j.a.panese government"s employment service center.)
"Fine, I get it. I can just meet her then. All I"m going to do is ask her a question. I"m not particularly interested in slaves, and I"m not such a softhearted person that would save a demi-human out of pity." (Velt)
"Velt! Are you seriously saying that?" (Ura)
"Well yeah, I would save you if you were about to be sold, but this time is different. It"s legal, and it"s better than making something troublesome our enemy." (Velt)
"Tha, that is true, but, u~nn, but I still have complicated feelings about that." (Ura)
It"s understandable. If Ura had made a single mistake, she might"ve been living such a tragic life too.
Well, I somewhat understand what actions I should be taking as a person, but that"s a j.a.panese peace idiot’s way of thinking.
As long as this world finds this as common sense, trying to correct that every single time, questioning it, and swinging around my "justice" is foolish.
"Uu, are, are you sure?" All you"re doing is meeting her! Letting her escape, or taking away the slave is-." (Jeed)
"I won"t do that. I hate demi-humans anyway." (Velt)
That"s right. I don"t feel like letting them escape, and I don"t feel like saving them.
Of course, that would depend on how important the thing that demi-human is carrying though.
"Ah, while we"re at it, we want to go to the empire, so let us ride the ship until midway." (Velt)
"Haa?" (Jeed)
For the time being, we"ve gotten a means of transportation, so that should be fine.
