Before leaving Elden village. I asked Reville about the plan.
“But do we have to sneak in?”
“Of course. If the guard finds out who you are, the red molars are likely to notice. The existence of the three must not be discovered.”
“What next?”
“I’ll somehow get them out to the gate. Then, you three, who will be hiding in the city, save Miru from their hideout.”
I asked with a questioning look.
“What if they didn’t leave their hideout? They could send someone out for negotiation.”
“Don’t worry about that.”
Reville said with a confident look.
“The more greedy they are, the simpler their thoughts will be.”
In the dark backstreet of Kaldinium, where the narrow, winding roads like labyrinths intertwined, was the home of the Red molars.
Having been kicked in the butt by Reville, Buckteeth hurried back to the hideout and found the head of the organization.
“Boss! Boss!” We’re in trouble.”
In the middle of the room where the Buckteeth was in, there was a huge table, and food was piled up on the table like a mountain.
A Pig Beastman with a large stature, dark brown skin, and large protruding molars was sitting alone in front of the table.
He was the leader of the Red Molars – Balik.
“Munch Munch, who the f*ck is disturbing my mealtime?”
“Hey, Buckteeth! Do you want to die? How dare you interrupt our boss’ mealtime!”
The men standing around the table growled savagely and pressed Buckteeth.
Buckteeth explained what he had seen in a quivering voice.
“Br… Brothers… that’s not it. They’re really here.”
“What?”
“They’ve got a bunch of strawberries, just like Derick said.”
Bump!
Balik’s hand dropped the meat he was holding in his hand.
For the first time, he took his eyes off the food and looked at Buckteeth.
“Tell me more about it.”
“Right now…”
Buckteeth quickly confessed what happened at the gate a little while ago.
After hearing the whole story, Balik glared at him with suspicious eyes.
“Really? Really, Reville, the traitorous b*stard came filling the carriage with strawberries?”
“Yes, Boss. I’ve tried it myself and it’s clear that it’s the rumored strawberry.”
“Did you try it yourself?”
“Yes! Boss.”
BAM BAM BAM
“ F*cking retard. If it was such a delicious strawberry, you should have brought it to me right away!”
Balik angrily flung the leftover food bones at Buckteeth.
“Ahhhhh! I’m sorry. I’m sorry! Boss”
Buckteeth freaked out and immediately stuck his head on the floor.
Balik looked at him pathetically, and then he turned with a skeptical look.
Balik, who was worried about something, ordered his subordinate next to him.
“Hey, bring that idiot.”
“OK, Boss.”
A moment later, Derick, who was tied up, was brought in front of Balik.
There were traces of beatings all over his face and body, and his eyes were filled with fear.
“Derick.”
“Yes, boss!”
“As you said, they brought strawberries. They want to exchange it for the girl you kidnapped.”
Derick’s face, which was dying, began to come alive.
“Didn’t I tell you, Boss? The owner of the strawberry field cared so much for my niece that I knew he would move!”
“I don’t understand. Why the f*ck is he giving up on all that strawberry to save a useless Beastgirl’s life?”
“Maybe he also has some weird hobbies like some Nobel Demons. He must have had a fetish for little Beast-girls ?”
“Hmm, I see…”
Balik winked at the man next to him.
Then the subordinate released Derick’s tied hands and feet.
“Thank you, boss!”
“You go and look after the kid. It’s our very precious hostage.”
“Alright, Boss.”
Derick bowed his head and hurried out of the room with a smile on his face.
“Buckteeth. How much backup did that guy bring?”
“Backup? There’s no such thing as a backup, Boss. Except for the two guys who looked like little boys, Reville came alone.”
“Only three….?”
Doubts rose again on Balik’s face.
“What makes him provoke me with that much confidence?”
‘Did he prepare any trap?’
‘No. There wouldn’t have been enough time to prepare for a trap…’
Balik couldn’t figure out what Reville intended.
Balik, who had been agonizing for a long time, decided to stop worrying and think simply.
“Whatever he’s up to, it’s true that he brought real strawberries. It’s a gain if we can just take away the strawberries.”
Balik smiled happily at the thought of taking away the strawberries in the carriage.
After deciding to take away the strawberries somehow, he began to feel sorry for the strawberries they gave to people.
“I can’t let those peasants touch my precious strawberries. Get ready.”
“Are we taking the hostage with us, Boss?”
“No, I’m leaving the hostage behind. If the owner of the strawberry field cares so much about that Beast-girl, it’s a waste to pass it over. There’s got to be a way to get some more.”
“Yes, Boss.”
Balik recalled Reville, who betrayed him and left the organization.
He smiled so joyfully that all his molars were exposed at the thought of meeting Reville soon.
“I need to show everyone today what end awaits the guy who betrays the organization.”
The back streets of Kaldinium became bustling.
Moments later, many Beastmen with ferocious momentum poured into the streets from many places.
The three of us hid behind a wall and watched the scene closely.
“Everything’s going according to plan.”
“Yes, Reville’s plan seems to have worked.”
I nodded at Andras’ whisper.
So far, it was flowing as the plan that Reville had set up.
“I don’t think there’s much time left. My hands are already itchy at the thought of moving my body after a long time.”
Alfred could not hide his excitement while smoothing the handle of his sword.
“Akum, hang in there a little longer. It’s almost over.”
I kept looking at the movement of the back alley, soothing the frustrated baby Yakum.
Soon after, silence came to the bustling back alley.
At last, all the Red molars members seemed to have gone.
“I think we should get moving now.”
“Akum, it’s your turn now. You know what to do, don’t you?”
I held out Miru’s hair ornament once again.
After sniffing and checking the smell, Akum went out to the street vigorously.
“Let’s go.”
We began to move after Akum.
