Chapter 113 – 113. The Other World Summoner’s Second Counterattack (6)
– One –
“Brother. Why did you torture me so excessively?”
“Brother, I’m not sure because I have real evidence, but no matter how I look at it, I think he has the highest rank here.”
“Why did you think that? Even if there is no physical evidence, wouldn’t there be a basis for that judgment?”
“Your body is of a fighting species. Even when I was cornered by the Regal hounds like Mamang before, the highest-ranking guy was like a monster who gave up being a real human being. Even if he was an operative, he was created with the assumption that he would eventually fight. Since it’s an organization, wouldn’t the one who could be called a commander be the one with the most superior fighting skills?
“The rationale for deducing that she might be her field commander is plausible. What does that have to do with excessive torture?”
José watches Monohorn with dark eyes as he organizes his thoughts for a moment.
Ada and Honeywett, who calmed their stomachs, and Octopoda, who calmed their tremors, focused their attention on him.
“Brother, I think. I don’t think the other guys know much anyway. I didn’t think that a terrifying guy like Regal wouldn’t have sent the commander in the field to his head. He probably knows the context best. , It must be the year that was most deeply involved in raising the rebels.”
“Hmm… Sister, do you think Regal sent one of the commanders who was training fake rebels in the north right here?”
“Yes. Let’s say that the communications of the bastard bastard were intercepted through the court agent. If so, that must have happened in the Islands? Connect and send the ones closest to you, not the ones further away.”
“I’m sure. If you’re already training fake rebels in the North, there’ll be a lot of operatives there too.”
Listening to the conversation between Monohon and Jose, Octopoda and Estrus nodded their heads.
Ada couldn’t keep up with their conversation, but she definitely agreed that Monohorn’s guess was very plausible.
Benison glances at Tullamore.
Jose, noticing his gaze, draws a curtain of breeze around Tullamore.
Monohorn continues the conversation casually.
“That’s just fine for Regal. We don’t have to waste time dispatching operatives from afar.”
Octopoda agrees with Monohorn.
“Yes. Regal obviously didn’t raise these rebels in a day or two. He could have raised them right after joining Eros Paradise in order to get his hands on the empire from the beginning. Maybe, he’d have raised them even before that. .But we appeared in this area. The saintess and our participants.”
Monohorn’s gaze scans the surroundings.
Ada swallows dryly.
“Regal must have thought that the use of the rebels has increased in the heart. Because they can weave even saints. Besides, we have to kill the fucking bastards. .In the name of the saintess! Exterminate all the aristocrats of the system!”
“… The public opinion of the empire will be completely overturned…”
Ada conveyed her impressions with her sad eyes.
Mono Horn nodded his head.
“Yes. That will happen, Sister Ada. It will be difficult for public opinion that criticized Regal to be favorable even to the armed rebels. And they will also vehemently criticize Sister Ada. Then the emperor, the imperial faction, the imperial army, and even the pope The waves can’t stay still. They’re all going to run to the North. Will the Regal stay still after that happens?”
Everyone’s expression becomes serious.
Jose opened his mouth with a heavy face.
“Are you saying that he might be trying to stir up a rebellion in various parts of the Empire, including Jedo, by encouraging the rebels he raised?”
“Yes. Regal will come running this way, so he has an alibi to deny that he has any connection with the rebellions that have occurred throughout the Empire. Guys like Regal will never act to achieve one goal. Obviously, two things. , I will move to satisfy all three objectives at the same time, so I am sure that bastard will incite a civil war from behind.”
“Huh~ That’s an interesting opinion~”
Estrus intervened.
It was a conversation that was too daunting for her to follow, but she didn’t miss her key points.
Her survival instincts were furiously sending out warnings.
“Then~ here catching and killing the fucking uncle~ is a very important thing for Regal~ isn’t this~? If only that uncle is killed~ the rest will go along with the big flow, and things will go smoothly as Regal wishes~?”
“Yes, Sister Estrus. So, Regal would never have handled this carelessly.”
“Then, since earlier, the horse has only been on its side legs, tearing those cubs apart so violently, what is the real reason for keeping him alive~?”
As soon as Estrus went to work, Monohorn grinned.
Benison and Octopoda felt more frightened as Monohorn’s bright smile contrasted with the madness from before.
“Me. I’ve already let Regal fail once.”
“Is that so~?”
“Then, Regal is also a human being, and despite the risk of failing once again, why did he send such a small number of people? Seeing that he organized a large number of fire-type shaman and mage during the war, I was sure that I was here. It seems like you’re doing it.”
“Eh~?!”
Estrus blinks her eyes.
The others look at Monohorn in amazement as well.
“Surely, there must be a large army stationed not too far from here.”
“Heh, heh…”
“And her role is to wait until the large army marches around here in case the mission fails. Ask Margarita-nee when she wakes up later. If you look carefully, there will probably be a large army stationed around here. ?”
Upon hearing Monohorn’s words, they were seriously contemplating whether they should wake Margarita right away.
Shit.
“Now, pay attention.”
Monohorn claps his hands and draws everyone’s attention.
“I think that orangutan has a sending device that transmits vital signals. It can transmit audio and video, but it doesn’t make sense that there is no magic tool that transmits a simple signal about survival or not, right?”
“Theoretically, it’s a device that can be built enough. If you make it work inside the body, it’s not that difficult to make such a magic tool.”
Octopoda’s words further solidify Monohorn’s conviction.
“That’s the number one reason I didn’t kill that orangutan bitch. The moment she dies, a large army will march this way right away.”
“I hear that there is a second reason, brother.”
“Of course. I have a lot of questions to ask him, how big the Regal raises the rebels, what their detailed plans or ultimate goals are, how to escape brainwashing, how to prove that the rebels are fake. .”
“Have you created her fear in her to make it easier for her to answer her?”
“Yes. He’s seen with his own two eyes how crazy I am. Whether you vomit or pass out, I’ve been fucking out all these operatives. To him, I’m a really dumb psycho, right? “
“I guess so…”
“Then, as soon as he wakes up, he will definitely activate emergency protocols.”
“Hmm~? Emergency protocol~? What is that~?”
Thanks to the people who listened to him, Mono Horn gradually regained his confidence and self-esteem.
In the days when he was confident, he was gradually regaining the appearance of the days when he fought against absurdity without fear.
His eyes were shining brightly, as if they were pouring out light.
“I’m alive, but I’m in a very dangerous situation. Come here without hesitation. Well, won’t the promised signal go away like this?”
“Hmm… Usually, such a magic tool for generating a signal has an emergency signal system in case of an emergency.”
“Doesn’t Octopoda-nim look reasonable?”
“That’s right. There is absolutely no place to refute it. Even if it was just a groundless rumor, I think the contrast of the Monohorn was very appropriate.”
Mono Horn nodded his head, thanking Octopoda for appreciating his own guess.
Making eye contact with everyone, he lowered his voice.
Of the eight rebel prisoners Jose knocked out with a vacuum trap, fearing that someone would wake up and hear his plan, Monohorn whispered to them in the lowest possible voice.
“He, obviously, when he opens his eyes, he will obediently blow on us.”
“You mean all the secrets except for the late ones?”
“Yes, brother. If you capture us alive or kill us anyway, you won’t have to worry about leaking any secrets. The plan is to hold us here for as long as possible until the second party closes the encirclement on us. We’ll have to make sure we’ve achieved all our objectives and won’t leave, so we’ll do our best to survive anyway, and we’ll be careful not to provoke us in any way.”
“Then, in your opinion, what do you think is the most reasonable thing to do in this situation?”
Monohorn whispered to them.
They constantly poured out admiration.
Monohorn did his best to communicate his plan, even though he smiled awkwardly at their compliments.
They finally agreed with Monohorn.
Ada woke everyone up to share Monohorn’s opinion.
The awakened also agreed to it.
And they finished all the preparations to feed Regal.
– 2 –
“Mu, muul…”
Tup.
Clap clap clap clap clap.
“Paha! Whoa, haa, haa…”
Tullamore catches the water pouring into her mouth and opens her eyes.
“Kyaaaaa!”
Mono Horn stood in front of her, holding her water bag.
Although she struggles in fright, she refuses to think that the tree trunks that perfectly bind her body will ever break.
“Sah, save me! Help me!”
“Why are you so scared? Even if you don’t kill me?”
Mono Horn bluntly sarcasm in front of her.
She dared not meet her eyes with Mono Horn, and quickly lowered her eyes.
“Anything, whatever you ask, I’ll cooperate with everything!”
“Ttsk, if it had been like that from the beginning, wouldn’t it have been nice and fine.”
“…”
She trembles her body
“Why? Do you want to pee?”
“No… In fact…”
She blushes on her face.
Monohorn grins.
“What the fuck, you did well in front of others earlier, do you want to pee while avoiding other people’s eyes?”
“Oh, no… That’s…”
She hesitated, trying to find something to explain.
“Even, I wonder if it’s different between friends and enemies…”
She blushed as she thought to herself that she had no excuse for herself.
When Mono Horn saw her blush, she couldn’t help but feel disgusted.
“Fuck! A bitch like an orangutan who seems to have evolved! If you make that face just one more time, I’ll grind your face finely, knead it, and fry it up and eat it!”
“… I get it…”
She looks depressed
Is it because she has a complex about her appearance, and it was so hard to endure her verbal abuse that pointed out her appearance?
Or is it to arouse sympathy?
Monohorn didn’t know.
“So, are you asking me to pee?”
“Yes, yes!”
“If I let you go, will you run away right away?”
“…”
She was fully aware of the absurdity of the prisoner’s demand to release her restraints, and she had no words to argue with him.
“I’ll cover it, so fight inside. Our comrades are waiting nearby right now, so don’t think about running away. And I’ll call them right away, so cooperate with the interrogation as promised. It will make you sick.”
“I get it.”
Shureuk, shrrrr.
A mono horn wraps a thick tree trunk around her to make her dome.
Squeak, squeak.
And from the inside, the stems that bound her body are released.
But,
“Hey, how can I pee like this!”
The trunk of the tree that bound her feet was still there.
Monohorn was shameless.
“Why, you have hands, hands. What if your feet were tied up?”
“Oh, no…”
“Do it on your own. Who says you’ll see it? I’ve covered everything, so no one will know if I pee standing on my hands? Oh, I can’t stand on my hands because my feet are tied.”
“Still…”
“Ah done,”
Monohorn cut off her grumbling.
“Brothers! Sisters! Orangutan woke up! Come quickly!”
Then he called his companions.
A sigh came from within the wooden dome.
She muttered that she had given up and quietly went about her business.
Woo woo woo.
“Brother, is she awake?”
“Yes. I’m awake now.”
“Can we begin the interrogation now?”
“Yes.”
Monohon converses with Jose and Octopoda and winks at Margarita.
After she concentrates for a moment towards the inside of the dome, she nods her head towards Mono Horn.
– Put her hand down her throat. There must be a sending device in her lower left molar or a magic tool to manipulate it.
Monohorn winks at the others.
Margarita informs everyone.
Estrus smiles and presses her fingers under her left chin and pit.
“What about Benison?”
“Ah~? My baby~ went hunting for rabbits because she was hungry~♬”
“Can one rabbit fill all of us?”
“It’s okay~ If you boil the stew, we can share enough~♬ Huh~?
Monohorn nodded and smiled.
Everything is ready.
“Okay then, let’s interrogate together.”
Shureuk, shrrrr.
Slither.
“Kuk! What is this?!”
Tullamore screams in panic as her dome suddenly contracts around her.
Either way, Mono Horn contracts her dome around her, completely restraining her Tullamore once again.
She was wrapped all over her tree trunk, with only her head sticking out.
Monohorn thought she was like a matryoshka in the image of her ape.
“Ah, I’ve heard it all and subtracted it out. Now, as promised, it’s time for an interrogation. If I get caught groping, I’ll fly like this?”
“Kuh… I understand. I will cooperate with you.”
She bites her lip, impatient with her quarters.
Monohorn got the impression that she was waiting to see.
“How many rebels did Regal train?”
Jose asks in a heavy voice.
“Don’t call him carelessly!”
However, she does not answer meekly and expresses her anger at the fact that Jose called Regal by name.
“Do you see such a cheap bitch?”
Shuryuk, squirreureuk!
Koo Woo-wook.
Tree trunks wriggle.
From the outside, there was no way to know what kind of atrocities Monohorn manipulated tree trunks were committing.
But at least five people here could see what it meant.
They were the perpetrators, the victims, and Margarita and Honeywett.
Except for Monohorn, the complexion of the four people is pale.
“Kyaaaaagh! Kheuk! Kyaaaaagh!”
Blood seeps through the cracks in the tree trunks surrounding Tullamore.
Whoops.
Ada chants a lesser healing spell.
Since I hadn’t seen it myself, her expression didn’t distort that much.
Still, the mere imagining of what was going on inside the tree trunk seemed to upset her stomach.
“Keuk, keuheuk!”
The blood that flowed from the cracks in the tree trunk stopped.
Democy thought her skin was made of tree trunks.
“Don’t even think about wasting time with useless things. If you’re wrong, you’ll become an idiot right away, and we could end up on our way.”
“Ah, I see…”
Jose asked the same question again.
“A little over 30,000.”
“How many operatives are there?”
“500 3rd class, 100 2nd class, 10 1st class, 2 limited class.”
“Are you one of the express?”
“Yes.”
“What is your internal rank?”
“The rebels don’t have a rank, but in reality they’re being treated as second-in-command.”
Those who were listening to their conversation seemed to run chills down their spines.
30,000 rebels was by no means a small number.
Particularly astonishing, Viscount Uweboll, who had been silently listening to their conversation, was most surprised.
His surprise was even greater, for he had not heard anything of Monohorn’s reasoning while he was unconscious.
“What is your practical role within the rebels?”
Demosi came out.
“My role is to spearhead major operations. It is the role of my fellow commander-in-chief, implicitly, to make the actual plans.”
“Are you the highest commander in the field?”
“Yes.”
“What is the ultimate goal of this operation?”
Tullamore’s gaze turns to Viscount Uweboll and Ada.
“I am going back after cutting Viscount Uwebol’s head. Sooner or later, when I march to Jedo Island, I planned to put it on a flagpole, or pickle it in salt and send it to the imperial palace when war is declared. However, I never thought that the saintess would come here in person. It was unexpected. If I had known that in advance, I would have definitely thrown in the full force.”
“Oh my god…”
Viscount Uwevol’s face went pale.
He thought he was sufficiently wary of Regal, but when it was revealed that he was arrogant, he couldn’t hide his dismay.
Ada’s expression was no different from his.
It was because he felt how much effort Regal was making to kidnap him.
“What is the ultimate goal of the fake rebel created by Regal?”
Again, Jose asks Tullamore.
“… Marching to the islands and being defeated by the Imperial Army.”
“Suicide is the purpose?”
“Yes.”
Most of them couldn’t hide their doubts, but Monohorn, Margarita, the Octopoda couple, and Viscount Uwevol showed signs of nervousness.
“Why are you trying to commit suicide?”
Estrus could not hold back his curiosity and asked a question.
Octopoda answered her question.
“They’s ultimate goal is to sow the seeds of revolution in the people.”
“The seed of the revolution~?”
“Yes. They want to send a message to those who dream of republicanism that they are together, and prove that the Empire can be overthrown if everyone works together to resist the system by hurting the authority of the Empire and the Emperor. Means that.”
“Huh~ I don’t know~!”
Monohorn shook his head.
As always, the explanations of Octopoda and Demosi, while accurate, are overly difficult.
Monohorn, accustomed to eye-level education exclusively for Urmama, interpreted Octopoda’s explanation to Estrus.
“I guess the purpose is to make the viewers think, ‘Isn’t the Imperial bastard a big deal?’, Sister Estrus.”
“Ahang~! Thank you, monohorn~♬”
Estrus hums her.
Demosi sighs lightly and continues her question.
“Do you intend to oxidize the Regal operatives along with the rebels in the Islands?”
“The leadership was thinking of withdrawing from their bodies if confusion occurs during the battle. Some will not participate in the first place and will be dispatched to other areas.
“And you plan to train rebels in various parts of the empire to replace people, huh? You have no intention of achieving real republicanism, but you’re trying to stir up chaos so that the Regal can easily hold the imperial power, right?”
“…”
Tullamore made no excuses.
It was because I felt with my body that they would never know about their beliefs anyway.
“Dirty bastards.”
Monohorn denounces her remarks.
Estrus nods to confirm his comment.
Octopoda shakes her head and asks her a question.
“How to get out of brainwashing?”
“…Do I have to tell you?”
“That’s right.”
“…”
As her silence lengthens, Monohorn’s eyebrows rise.
“What? Is this orangutan bitch clenching her mouth? What if I don’t answer my question in time?”
“Hey, wait!”
“It’s a bamboo spear!”
Hooked!
Fufufufufufu!
“Kyaaaaa!”
Monohorn’s punishment was merciless and harsh.
Ada closed her eyes tightly and chanted the low-level healing spell again.
Woo woo woo woo.
“Hee-eok, hee-eok, hee-eok, hee-eoeok…”
Tullamore looks at Monohorn with a tired expression.
The pain and bleeding were a problem, but more than anything, she was terrified of Monohorn.
“Didn’t you try to tell me?!”
“Don’t think about wasting time. If you do it one more time, you’re forcing it to expand with a bigger one this time?”
“… I get it.”
“So what’s the answer?”
Gulp.
Tullamore swallows her saliva.
She was really afraid, not knowing how her own answer would be received by them.
“Inwardly, inwardly, ‘Long live Emperor Regal B. Whiskai!’ Turns away, and immediately the fabricated personality sinks and the original personality rises.”
“Fuck you, you crazy bastard.”
“Huh… Truly an arrogant person…”
Monohorn and Viscount Uwebol gnashed their teeth in anger.
Others looked very absurd and bewildered.
From the moment they realized that they were treating Regal with the truth that they had already become emperors, the keyword that triggers personality change made them feel very goosebumps.
“Then what is the keyword that makes the fictional personality emerge?”
Suppressing his displeasure, Octopoda asks again.
“… Diageo’s downfall will surely come.”
“Her…”
They could feel Regal’s deep greed for the throne by using the sentence wishing for the fall of the imperial family as a trigger.
Margarita, who has been quietly listening to their conversation, asks Tullamore a question.
“Are these the only two commands related to brainwashing?”
“…”
Tullamore averts her eyes and is silent.
Double wicks sprout in Monohorn’s eyes.
Tullamore winces and opens her mouth.
“There is! There are several more!”
“Then what are you doing not blowing fast?!”
“I get it!”
Unable to withstand Monohorn’s pressure, she uttered two additional triggers.
A cold sweat broke out on her back.
It was because I thought that if I couldn’t catch or kill all of them today, the situation might flow to the point where I couldn’t handle it.
Margarita, watching her reaction, opens her mouth again.
“Aside from the operatives, can all four triggers be used on those who have been forcibly brainwashed?”
“… Eh, except for the last one…”
“You bastards…!”
“Ah, mother…”
A sigh breaks out.
The companions did not feel that they were human beings at all.
A saddened Ada looks at Tullamore and asks a question.
“Last question. Is there any way to prove that the rebels are fake?”
“… All those who have been brainwashed believe that their lives are real. Even if you point out contradictions, they refuse to recognize them. Therefore, the only way to prove that they are fake is to release their brainwashing.”
“Is there any way for a third party to solve the brainwashing?”
“… I heard that when brainwashing, unless you activate the personality change system yourself through a normal trigger, the mind is unconditionally destroyed and a brainwashing scheme is created to make you an idiot.”
“No, damn it, but I heard that only the last command works for them?”
“…”
“Ah… Seriously, do I have to kill them all or turn them into idiots…?”
“… Yes.”
As she finished her words, her party’s anger exploded.
