Chapter 311 – Preliminary Announcement
A little way off the flat, unpaved road, at the forest’s edge. As Myrril had said, it was a fawn that had fallen. It had been shot in the eyes and neck and was bleeding.
If we’re going to eat it right away, what do we do with it? Do we drain the blood before we skin it?
“Yoshua, we’re being watched.”
Myrril-san bent down in front of the fawn and whispered to me. Could it be that she shot the deer on purpose?
“No. Of course we’re going to eat it properly.”
Myrril-san pulled out a small knife and, with practiced ease, made a cut in the deer’s carotid artery, then quickly tied it to a branch.
“There was a man about a quarter of a mile ahead, acting like a spy, trying to hide his presence. There were signs that snow had been dug up in this area, so it’s likely there are traps along the trail.”
“What should we do?”
I ask, pointing at Ural.
“For now we’ll leave it as it is. If possible, we want to capture him alive and get information from him. When I give the signal, I want you to close the distance by teleporting while leaving ‘Uraru’ there. He’s behind the fallen tree at the end of this road.”
“Understood.”
We return to the motorcycle with the bloodless fawn.
“Well, let’s have a barbecue somewhere with a nice view!”
She wiped the blood off with a towel, then wrapped it around the deer’s neck and loaded it into the sidecar. Her eyes looked at me, but her expression was blank as if trying to read the situation. Myrill was already in a state of readiness. I sat in the front seat of the motorcycle, and Myrill sat in the back seat.
“The speed should be about the same as before. He’ll probably trigger the trap. Stop in front of it and teleport.”
“Got it. I’ll leave the timing up to you.”
I started the Ural and accelerated like a chicken race to the trap, which was 400 meters away.
“Idiot, he’s clearly getting ready.”
I can’t see anything. There are two hundred meters to go. I can see the tracks of the snow that have been flattened in the designated area. How did she know about this?
“Now!”
I slammed on the brakes, and the motorcycle slid off the road. I saw Myrill’s hand on my neck, and I teleported to the shadow of a fallen tree. There was a small man, his eyes wide open and frozen. In his hand was a wand. The man’s fate was decided by hesitation in whether to use an attack spell, signal an explosion, or physically attack.
“Guh!”
The man collapsed to the ground as if to prostrate himself after being deeply pierced by the satisfying “Noja Loli Hook.”
He doesn’t seem to be from the Imperial Army. Maybe he’s the Emperor’s Shadow?”
“A special unit? Well… something like that?”
“I think so, but we should ask him for details.”
The man who had been tied to a fallen tree soon woke up. He looked frustrated to find that his hands, feet, body, and mouth were all bound, but he quickly wiped the look off his face and braced himself.
“I’m going to ask you a question. Just shake your head up or down. If you don’t obey either, that’s okay too.”
“Mmm, guh.”
“Ah, I took off your collar. I don’t know if you can do it or not, but your determination to blow yourself up is useless.”
“!”
He probably couldn’t believe it, and he couldn’t even see his own neck, so I made the collar I had removed appear far up in the sky. From the man tied to his back, he would have seen the collar explode at the end of his line of sight. Small pieces fell in all directions.
“If this is the signal for the Imperial Army to come to your aid, then so be it. In any case, we’ll march into the Imperial Capital and kill the Emperor.”
“…..”
“Now, I have a question. How far will you, the lowly Imperial Army, go with this old man?”
The man’s body trembled.
“I see. That useless old man is listening to this, isn’t he?”
His eyes darted around. It was hard to tell if he was agreeing or disagreeing, but his excitement was clear.
“Hmm. Maybe he’s not just telling the Emperor, but making a proclamation to the entire Imperial Capital. Maybe he’s telling everyone that he’s going to make a blood sacrifice of the Demon King and his wife.”
The man shakes his head slightly, but it doesn’t mean much.
“We’ve already told the Emperor that we’re going to kill him. No matter what you do, the result won’t change. To be honest, we don’t really care what you lowly people do. If you stand in our way, we’ll kill you. If you hide, we won’t look for you, and if you run, we won’t chase you.”
“…..”
“The longer it takes for our beautiful journey with the Demon King to end, the better. That’s what I think, but the result won’t change. Yoshua, wave your hand.”
“Hmm?”
“Compared to Rinko’s ‘Doron,’ this is a pretty pathetic thing.
It’s like a relative of the golem. A doll-like object with a magic stone embedded in its head appeared from the shadows of the forest. The body is probably made of goblin. With its deformed limbs, it limps off into the depths of the forest.
“You are no longer needed. Go where you will.”
Myrril unties the ropes that bound the man and turns away. We start walking toward the Ural, which is still stuck at the side of the road.
“I can see through the minds of idiots right from the start.”
As she turns, she fires UZI, and the bullet shatters the man’s head. The pavement explodes with the signal the collapsed man must have sent out in his last moments.
“Well, that’s the way it goes.”
The bike was undamaged, and neither of us was scratched. Still, there was a sense of frustration.
“After all, it won’t be over until we kill the Emperor.”
“That’s right. There seems to be no point in prolonging it. It might be better to get it over with quickly.”
