Chapter 142

CHAPTER 142 – TO DEPARTURE

I lightly kicked the man on the ground .

I kicked him making him front face up . It’s just a corpse . Nothing has changed in particular .

『This is the cause of what changed him after all』

Eleanor said . I’m still holding the dark thing using the aura arm .

There is no doubt that this is the cause that made the man strange .

「Delfina, gather all of your subordinates here」

「What are you planning to do?」

「I’ll clean them up . It doesn’t matter what you’re going to do, but you won’t be at ease if things like this are around right?」

「……I understood」

Delfina made a very unwilling look, and left the room .

After a while, I’m called out to the building’s inner yard .

It’s a beautiful garden, said to be used for business discussion .

The design and minor details are different here and there, but it somehow made me reminiscent of the Japanese garden pavilion .

In there were many men and women, lined up properly although making some noise .

「We have kept you waiting」

「Everyone’s here huh」

「Yes . Please take care of us」

「Alright . Let’s do it, Eleanor」

『Oi, wait a second, you, don’t tell me……』

「Yeah」

I grinned, raising the corner of my lips .

「It’s too troublesome doing it one by one . I’ll do it all at once」

『As I’ve thought, huh . Really, you’re saying it so easily』

「I’m saying it because it’s you」

『I don’t need your obvious flattery』

Although she’s saying that, Eleanor doesn’t seem like she felt bad about it .

『Well then, let’s do it』

「Yeah」

I lightly placed my hand on Eleanor, took deep breaths, and concentrated my consciousness .

I gathered up the Demon Sword’s power from deep inside my body, and released it outside .

The buzzing noise increased .

It’s because I shot out the Demon Sword’s aura at once, filling the venue, and enveloped everyone .

I imagined . The power that I created during Xiphos’s time, a power that almost doesn’t have offensive powers, a power that would only grasp the evil or dark things from their body .

I covered all of Delfina’s subordinates with that, and “lifted” them up .

There are near a hundred people who gathered, and I was able to grasp dark things from three people .

After those ones who were lifted up collapsed to the ground, they did not move an inch .

On the other hand, those ones who did not know what is going on got more and more noisier .

Delfina came to my side .

「Thank you very much, Kakeru-sama」

After saying that, she looked at the thing I grabbed, and narrowed her eyebrows .

「To think that we were this infiltrated……if Kakeru-sama were not around, it would have been disastrous」

「Really? You look like you would’ve done something about it」

「I would have done something about it」

Delfina said with a serious face .

「It would have been impossible finding them beforehand . It would’ve been impossible to understand the cause of the event, and those three would’ve been confined or disposed of」

「I see」

Well, the measure would’ve been like that .

「And to think that it would have been resolved in this manner……I can only say that it is as expected of Kakeru-sama」

『Or rather, it’s my powers though』

Eleanor claimed inside of me .

「Even so……these three」

Looking at the three who have collapsed, Delfina’s eyebrows moved .

「Do you have something in mind?」

「Just one thing……it includes the man from earlier」

That guy who attacked Delfina huh .

「All of them, they are people who were in Malonei up until yesterday」

「Malonei……your town huh」

「Yes . These two are Delfina faction’s official . They are stationed in Malonei . The other one, I have sent her for a different case」

「What’s that, Delfina faction?」

「I have bought Malonei, but nominally, it is still Aegina Kingdom’s territory . That’s why, there are officials sent by the kingdom’s side who doesn’t have authority, and officials that I appointed who actually holds authority . The former is called Kingdom faction, and the latter is called Delfina faction」

「It has gotten complicated huh」

「That is one way to call it」

「Well, whatever . Anyways……in short, everyone has something to do with Malonei, huh」

「Yes . And, Neora’s father, he is currently in Malonei」

「Now that you mention it . What about that man who attacked you earlier?」

「On the day before yesterday, on another matter」

「I see」

If they’re all that similar, then there’s no mistaking it .

「Something’s happening in Malonei」

「Yes . Most probably, something that had started in Aegina」

「……」

I looked at the dark thing that I’m still holding .

This hasn’t started in Aegina, this thing was also in Comotoria . It had already appeared in Comotoria before Aegina .

Either way, there’s no proof that one in Aegina is the same thing that was in Comotoria .

『It’s the same thing』

Eleanor said with confidence . I also think so .

It’s not logic . This feeling passing through the Demon Sword saying that it’s the same thing .

That, those two are the same thing .

「How far is it from here?」

「Kakeru-sama, are you saying……?」

I nodded .

「I’ll go to Malonei」

In Malonei……in Aegina, something is happening .

Aura, Iris, Neora, and Delfina .

For the sake of my women, it looks like there’s a need for me to go in person and resolve it all at once .
