Chapter 280 – #62_Interlude(2)

#278

One.
What images often come to mind when you think of Mexico?
Drugs, gangs, insecurity, slums?
This is a generally correct image.

As in most countries in Latin America, corrupt politicians and cartels with power and force beyond the central government.
They built their own empire on the basis of a smuggling industry that imported drugs from Colombia and Venezuela.

He laid the foundation for a reign of terror by brutally executing opposing hostile organizations, politicians, journalists, and the military and police.
Even if it is a normal person, if the voice of criticism is heard, it is brutally executed and the body is laid out on the road.

Taking the border city of Ciudad Juárez, which is on the border with the United States, as an example, about 10,000 people are killed every year due to the drug war. The perception that ‘Mexico is dangerous’ originated here.

However, the story is limited to the border area where the struggles of various cartels and the war on drugs are fierce, and the story is a little different when you go down to Mexico City, the largest city in the south.

Mexico City, where the federal government and embassies are gathered, has achieved considerable stability and prosperity because it is an area that is burdensome even for cartels.

In particular, if you come to Polanco, the heart of Mexico City, European-style buildings and statues of the 16th century are naturally blended between skyscrapers, and you are enjoying prosperity that you would never think of as dangerous Mexico.

In the center of the city center, there is a lofty building that even smog, which has a reputation for being the worst, cannot reach.
The witches’ meeting began on the top floor of the hotel ‘Saint Rey Mexico City’, where you can look down on a beautiful night view like a cluster of stars blooming in the dark.

A total of 4 people attended the meeting.
Even though it was not a formal meeting, but a personal call, the number of people was less than half compared to the days when the public group ‘Qliphort’ was raging for a long time.
In the process of invading Gehenna in 1883, countless achievements were lost, so it’s no big deal.

“You don’t know how long it’s been since we’ve been together like this? Was it 20 years ago?”

Not all the invitees arrived, but ‘Bianca Belle Lily, the Witch of Desire’, who confirmed that the time had passed, smiled as she twirled her side hair.
Her abundant ivory white hair gracefully flows down her shoulders, and her jade-colored eyes do not lose their luster even in the dim light.

“Why are you a senior?”

At the same time, Bianca responded leisurely to the witch’s voice pointing out in her shrill voice.

“Since you’re in my city and I’m the host, isn’t it natural for me to sit at the top? ‘Clerch Asmode’.”
“I cannot understand. Either move the chair right away or serve something nicer, even if it’s a drink. Whose tongue are you trying to put this cheap on?”

No one protested except for one, Clech, who expressed his displeasure in a sharp voice.
Starting from the large-scale cartels in Mexico, it was none other than Bianca that unified the small cartels that spread throughout the province and made them into one force.
It is hard to believe that her words are exaggerated as she placed the throne on top of a mountain of tens of thousands of tons of drugs and a hundred times that amount of corpses.

However, the reason for Clech’s dissatisfaction was that the relationship between the two was antagonistic.
To be more precise, Clech hated Bianca one-sidedly.

Clech is the owner of a Colombian drug production plant, and in the process of distributing drugs to North America, greedy Bianca extorts a huge amount of money, so good feelings cannot arise.
No matter what, magic research requires a lot of money.

“Are we fighting as soon as we meet after a long time? The kid is always full of energy~”

The witch in the nun’s outfit, who was leisurely leaning on her, spoke weakly to the woman with a smile.
Although the hem of her dress was rather baggy, it seemed difficult to hide her voluptuous figure.

“Shut up, big titty bitch.”
“You talk too much. Who do you think is providing weapons for your war games?”

Klech immediately started arguing like a cat jumping on her tail.

It was not a friendly atmosphere by any means.
Can not help it.

The witches gathered here are the great witches who have the achievements belonging to the notorious ‘Qliphort’, especially strong power and magic.
They are the worst achievements that have formed their own forces despite having avoided the purges of the Dukes of Keter and Tiphareth and having countless enemies.

Due to interests, they are forced to ride in the same boat and cooperate from time to time, but basically each other is hostile to each other.
Considering that the witch of Aquarius, who was immediately involved as a member of Qliphoth, was bitten and disintegrated as soon as her death was confirmed, it is only natural that they be wary of each other.

“I want to ask the reason for the temporary convening.”

A dry, calm voice cuts off the turmoil.
She was a witch with black hair, as if it had been painted with a brush.
The cool gray eyes seemed to not want even a second of meaningless waste of time.

“Isn’t it obvious? Everyone must have been watching this situation with their eyes on.”
“It’s fucking disgusting to be squeamish.”

Everyone ignores Klech, who is sarcastic towards Bianca, and the conversation proceeds naturally.

“A cowardly witch?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”

The cowardly witch had no ties to Qliphoth.
Unlike the four gathered here, she wandered around alone without carrying the power she deserved, and her purpose itself was completely different in the first place.
Therefore, it was a feat that did not require cooperation and consultation, nor did it require mediation of conflicts or disputes.
Even so, the reason they were keeping an eye on her cowardly witch was because she played the role of a lab rat very well.

“I caused a disaster with a four-digit number of casualties in one of the largest cities in the world, and conducted a magic experiment in the middle of the city that was sure to cause a large number of casualties. But Keter did not move.”
“As the Witch of Whispers said.”
“It’s information stolen from a prophecy agency, so the reliability itself was high from the beginning.”
“I don’t like that bitch.”

Even though the witches here have great power and power, they only acted secretly under the water and did not appear to the world.
Needless to say, when it comes to where that deterrence came from.
Duke Keter, whom all witches fear, cannot be denied that it is because of her existence.

“If you look at the situation of the cowardly witch, you can see that the prophecy did not go wrong, right? Keter is not motionless. She ‘can’t’ move.”
“But isn’t it too risky to be that confident? It’s not once or twice that Lilith has been lying around.”
“She even told the truth. It is also true that she helped Qliphoth in various ways. Although she can’t be trusted.”
“Is everyone crazy? Do you know what year it is? It’s funny to say that I don’t trust you now.”

Clech’s sneer, laughing as if it’s absurd.
But aside from Clech’s overtly sarcastic tone, her words themselves were reasonable.

Lilith was never a trustworthy witch.
A witch of whispers whose purpose no one knows, yet who promotes all sorts of confusion and confusion.
He is someone who cannot give even the slightest amount of trust to be a partner.
No one even knows what her witch name is.

“If you heard that bat bitch and invited me to brag about it, then I’ll go. It’s not even worth listening to. Dumb.”
“Hereafter alumni~ Do I still want to watch?”
“Come on, don’t do that. Listen to me.”

Bianca clapped her hands to clear up the chaotic atmosphere as if she was about to leave.
In the center of her attention, Bianca calmly and weakly continued her provocation.

“Aren’t you tired of living trembling in fear of Keter? Honestly it’s funny She used to have no concept of merit or anything. It was only natural for a witch to do anything for magic. Are you going to crouch down forever, fearing the shadow even at the moment when the culprit who pushed us into this inconvenient and oppressed world is silent?”
“It is a repetition of the same words. I still can’t believe the ‘prophecy’.”
“Yes, I know you mean that one case isn’t enough. That’s why I summoned them like this.”

Bianca started to get down to her point.

“If you still don’t believe in the Witch of Whispers, I’ll be the second lab rat. He said he would hand over the stone bridge that everyone is afraid of.”
“Is that good? I wish I could just throw it away.”

Clech sat back in his seat as if he were tempted even though he was pouring out curse words.

“I will prove the prophecy once again.”
“I can’t lift the Holy Grail that might have been poisoned with my bare mouth, aha~ that’s it.”
“In return for taking the risk, I want all of you gathered here to guarantee convenience.”

Yes.
Now Bianca is talking.
Instead of verifying the prophecy that Duke Keter is no longer able to move, ask for various benefits.
All the witches gathered here are directly or indirectly connected to Bianca’s business.

“If you show simple kindness, I will do my best to produce plausible results.”
“…….”

As soon as they realized Bianca’s intentions, the other witches started banging on the calculator in her head as well.
To the enemies, Keter’s presence is more like an anti-tank mine under their feet.
Right now, they are running around from above, noticing, but in the end, they are shackles and walls that don’t know when they will burst.

The prophecies of the ‘prophecy agency’ delivered by the Witch of Whispers are not to be taken lightly.
It is an institution that gave a prophecy that has never gone wrong in its history of more than a thousand years.

Of course, Lilith is a witch who can’t be trusted at all, but what if she acted on her whim and gave the exact facts?
What if she could freely carry out magic experiments and business that she could not carry out because of the burden?
Besides, what if someone took over her trial and error risking her life?
It’s a tempting offer that you can’t refuse, and you’re willing to pay for it.

“I like it~”
“I am good too.”
“If you die, I will eat your puppet too.”
“The talk is fast.”

Everyone accepted Bianca’s offer.
If a little more people gathered, more things could be ripped off, but Bianca was satisfied here.

After that, things went smoothly.
Bianca’s request was modest compared to the cost of her life, and she even promised half her price after certain experiments.
It was a negotiation that ended in such a low attitude that the other three witches were puzzled.

“Okay, since we’re not talking face-to-face and chatting amicably, shall we end it here?”
“Because I don’t want to hear any more of your disgusting voice, do I?”
“…….”
“Don’t talk like that~ But we’ve been seeing each other for quite some time~”
“Then, see you next time.”

-Match!

The commotion subsided as Bianca clapped again.
The conference table that had been dimly lit turned on the lights throughout the hotel.

“Ouch… Gurgling… !”

The three witches who occupied the table loudly, quietly, and leisurely are no more.
Instead, Bianca sat unconcerned in front of three dying humans with blood frothing from her mouth and eyes.

Divorce magic through pseudo-corps.
Except for Bianca, the other witches did not walk all the way to Mexico City, but were present through magic.
Of course, it is impossible for ordinary people to receive the witch’s enormous knowledge and magic with their bare hands.
The poor scapegoat would die with her brain crushed as soon as the spell was over, but that didn’t matter.

“Huh… !”

Bianca suddenly let out a hot sigh.
It was because someone who had crept between the hems of Bianca’s skirt, invisible to the witch at the other table, had been licking a secret place throughout the meeting.

“Whoa, I almost couldn’t stand it. That’s it. Come out.”

Someone crawls out between the legs that were wide apart.
The bobbed hair that broke below her shoulders, the lines of her body like a pitiful flower.
Her blood-soaked ruby ​​eyes look up at Bianca Belle Lilly fearfully.
A pitiful face that can only be possessed by non-witches, and cannot be faulted anywhere, looks very vulgar with steamy love juice and saliva sticking to it.

“You’ve improved a lot these days, haven’t you? Our ea.”
“……. “

Bianca’s pet dog, which everyone thought was dead.
The identity of the witch is Ea Sadalmelik.
She was the infamous Aquarius witch.
