Ch XX Ep XX
At a certain place in the Dragonmen Empire, 4 people that look like humans are discussing something.
The first person who starts the discussion is a slender man of about 170 cm, without many distinctive features. His only distinguishing features are his string-like slanted eyes and shady smile. His name is Hisomi.
He reports in a slightly tired voice as if he had just suffered a painful experience.
"I lost contact with the puppet I worked so hard to create. Most likely, his investigation failed, and he was killed..."
"Is there a possibility that Hisomi-san's puppet just forgot to report or was attacked by locals or monsters?"
"Hiro-dono, that possibility is zero. He always contacted me regularly, even if only briefly. He is the result of an experiment I created by fusing high-level adventurers. Above all, I created him and used my 'Family Creation' gift to share my level with him. There is no way the locals or monsters could defeat a level 5000 fighter like him."
The person who asked the question (Hiro) is wearing a luxurious outfit as if he is going to play a prince on the stage. Ordinary people would look weird in such an outfit, but Hiro looks great.
His face is so beautiful that it could be mistaken for a woman. He is tall and slender, without any fat.
If he stands side by side with Claw (the prince of the human kingdom), people will mistake him for the prince.
That is how radiant, and charming Hiro's prince-like aura is.
Hiro sighs lightly at Hisomi's report.
"Then maybe that was the winner after all? If Nano the dwarf had been eliminated, would it be certain...?"
"The possibility is high, but I think we should refrain from making hasty judgments. We cannot yet rule out the Mislead Cult's possibility."
"Hisomi! Don't talk about those worshippers in such a noble way! Those guys are either crazy doomsdayers or blind suicide seekers!"
"Calm down, Kaizer-san. I understand what you are trying to say, but you can't bite your comrades."
The group leader (Hiro) spreads his hands to calm his friends.
The man called Kaizer has blond hair, and his upper body is naked. He wears something that looks like work pants. He wears a golden collar, bangles, earrings, rings, and other jangling golden accessories.
He looks like an adventurer who just returned from a dungeon wearing all the treasures he had found there.
He is tall, muscular, and toned, so he doesn't look weird, even when he wears golden collars and bracelets.
After being yelled at, Hisomi shrugs his shoulders and continues to speak.
"Anyway, I am almost certain that my puppet was destroyed. Other than that, I have no other information. We can speculate on how the puppet died, but that’s a different matter. I can't handle this alone, so I would appreciate it if someone could help me......"
"I'd like to help too, but I have negotiations and other work. ......"
"If you can do my job for me, I'd be happy to help you."
"If Kaizer-dono is not around, P.A. will stop completely. It's not fair to make such a suggestion knowing that no one can replace you...."
Hiro and Kaizer smile bitterly at Hisomi's reaction.
They all agree that "P.A." is a very important thing for them. No one can take Kaizer's place, who is at the center of it.
He knew this and said it jokingly.
After smiling for a moment, the three turned their eyes to the last person.
“…………”
“Umm, Black-dono, won’t you help me?”
The man called Black is standing behind Kaizer and blending in with his shadow.
As his name suggests, his appearance is black from head to toe. His eyes are covered with black cloth, and a tied string hangs long down his back.
He does not answer Hisomi's question immediately but draws everyone's attention to him.
After some time, he responds in a whisper.
".... I refuse. My duty is to protect Kaizer."
