Chapter 89 – Little Red Riding Hood, Charles Pellet – 1

We chatted while waiting for Little Red Riding Hood to wear off.

When I’m hungry, I go to a restaurant to eat, then I discuss the future direction over a cup of tea.

Since this was our residence, there was nothing that we, El Balom executives, couldn’t do.

After about an hour and a half, Little Red Riding Hood finally opened her mouth.

“Bad guys… “

As soon as we heard that, we burst into laughter. There’s no greater compliment than being told bad by a bad guy.

Also, since I was so hard on a guy who couldn’t speak, it was a bad thing. The situation was just funny.

But is it because it’s been a long time since my mouth was pierced? Was it because there was too much resentment?

Her story didn’t stop there. Little Red Riding Hood pointed at me with her chin.

“I only lost to that guy. I have never lost to you guys and I have no confidence in losing. I remember the guys who hit me earlier. Let’s see.”

Hmm, Cheshire stretched out and slapped Little Red Riding Hood on the cheek. The chair fell to the side with a bloody thump.

“Are you crazy? What future do you have for you? I still don’t understand the situation.”

Denia snaps her finger and mentally pulls her chair back up.

“Yes. I guess it was a blessing for this guy to have been able to keep her mouth shut.”

I stopped the officers who were about to start beating again.

“It’s getting late, everyone go back to bed. I will take care of this personally.”

“…”

Everyone stood up from their seats, glaring at Little Red Riding Hood as if to kill it.

Most of them also had a slight smile on their faces, but they seemed to be thinking, ‘If Florian handled it personally, he would surely suffer a very cruel thing!’

‘But not necessarily.’

Being a human being, I like to get things done quickly.

Beating, letting Ellis know that he is above him, beating again, and letting Denia know that he is above him—the morning will be bright after all these procedures.

‘So this is better.’

No matter what, he admits that he is weaker in front of me.

After a while, only Little Red Riding Hood and I were left in this wide space. The red hoodie over her bothered me a little, so I shot it with a trivi.

Pan-!

A bullet glided precisely between her hair and her hood.

The hood flutters, making a sound and falling to the floor like a person.

“…!”

Little Red Riding Hood’s eyes widened. I continued as I put Trivi on top of her thigh.

“You understand. We are a group of people with no fundamentals who come together and come together. Still, everyone graduated from the academy. It’s real.”

“Can I tell you everything about what contact you have with him?”

“No no, there is no need for that.”

A look that still builds self-esteem. How far do we have to talk?

It is useless even if I tell these guys how far to talk.

It’s because I’m trying to roll my head here and there with the baseline you pointed out.

Just like if you want money you shouldn’t cry for money.

Just like if you want love, you shouldn’t cry out for love.

Keywords to get what you want always exist separately.

The keyword to obtain information is, of course, ‘fear’. I lifted the tribbie from his thigh and fired a few shots at the wall.

Grasp! Pak! Pak! Pak! Pak!

I drew a rabbit using bullet marks stuck in the wall. Then, he turned Little Red Riding Hood’s chair so that it faced him.

“There is a rabbit that slapped you on the cheek earlier. A guy with an unusual laugh.”

The boy nodded.

“Remember when I restored your body? My stigmata ability is restoration. I completely turned his body into a beehive and then restored it.”

“…”

“He’s not the only one who survived that way. The cat was almost skinned and restored, and the Queen of Hearts passed out every night.”

The fainting of the Queen of Hearts was a bit different type of torture, but anyway. I looked at the guy.

“What will you do? Shall I cut out both arms first?”

“…No.”

“I think it will help you spread the welcome sword. Come to think of it, swinging a sword without using your arms is kind of cool.”

“…”

I picked up a knife and he tried to jump up while still tied to the chair. He had tears welling up in his eyes.

“Sah, save me. No, you meant to save me. I will tell you anything about him.”

“No no. Come to think of it, I think I would get angry if I just listened to it. I don’t really like Elfriede.”

“Save me! Oh no. Help me. I will be polite to the executives from now on. I will treat you politely.”

If you want something like this, you don’t have to say that you want it. You can take the whole thing only when it comes out of the other person’s mouth first.

“You are talking about it like a condition. Everyone here except you behaves like that. Oh yeah.”

I put the knife in his mouth. And he nods his head as if he realized something.

“You have such a cheeky mouth. Live more boldly in the future. I’ll tear your mouth on both sides so that you have a smirk on your face. They won’t even restore it.”

“Ugh… Black! Ha, haha… ! (Help me)”

“Okay~ I’ll tear it up from now on~”

“Eek… “

Little Red Riding Hood bit into crab foam and passed out. The chair rolls backwards with a thud.

“Tsk tsk.”

I will swallow the knife, I will swallow it. I took out the small knife I had stuck in his mouth.

Occasionally, the smell of food pierces the nose. A balrog pulled a cart and brought out some food.

“What?”

“Do, do, Dodo gave instructions. Florian-sama must be hungry too, and the person being interrogated said that it would be better to be interrogated while eating something to eat… “

“Okay?”

Also, Dodo has a bit of sense.

But there was one thing that stood out to me, especially the dingy pasta that I couldn’t figure out what it was.

“What’s this?”

“Ah… That’s the pasta Alice-sama made herself.”

I put a needle in A masterpiece created by witch Zeke with great care. A needle that changes color when touched with an aphrodisiac substance.

Unsurprisingly, the color of the needles had darkened. Like dingy pasta.

“Take this back.”

“Yes.”

After the Balrog backed away, I looked at Little Red Riding Hood lying on the floor again.

“Hmm?”

However, there were elements that could cause a sense of incongruity. There was a change in her appearance.

Her hair color changes in real time.

The black color spreads like food spreads through her blonde hair. Just in case, I pushed my eyelids upwards, and the color of my eyes also changed to blue.

And that’s not all.

‘Your entire face is changing.’

Could it be because the owner who passed out didn’t distribute mana? The camouflaged face loses its shape.

The eyes become sharper, the bridge of the nose changes, and even the size of the lips changes. Perhaps what has now been revealed is her true self.

“Uh.”

Without realizing it, I spit out the simplest exclamation.

… Because I knew this face.

◈

Wow and goo—

“I’ll pretend.”

Wah-gu-wah-

“I think you can eat slowly.”

After coming to his senses, he regained his freedom in his hands and started eating whatever he could find.

Forks and knives were eaten with their hands as if they had no time to use them.

This is what a thirsty deer will look like when it finally finds a spring. It was a pity to see him eating with all his might.

“Thank you.”

He bowed his head, stuffing food into his cheeks like a squirrel.

Also, the voice that said that was already different from before.

This means that in addition to camouflaging your appearance, you can also alter your voice.

I drank a glass of water and opened my mouth.

“Pellets. Is that your name?”

Took, the bread he was holding in his hand dropped to the floor. For a while, her body loses function.

After all, Pellet is right. Swallowing her saliva, he looks at me with a ‘really frightening’ gaze.

It was a natural reaction.

This guy’s unique ability is 『Disguise』

Since she overwhelmingly uses pseudonyms and false appearances rather than her real name and real appearance, it was surprising that she was suddenly called by her true name.

Come to think of it, she should have noticed since she was wearing the red cape. Because this guy’s code name is Little Red Riding Hood.

It’s similar to ‘Red Riding Hood’, but it’s different, and it’s different, but it’s similar.

“Charles Pélite. That’s right.”

I pointed to the mirrored wall.

Only then did she realize that her stomach had loosened.

“That, that, even so, uh, uh, uh, uh, how… ? How do you know who I am… ?”

I put the bread she had missed back into her hand.

“Relax. ‘Cause I don’t want to kill Feel free to answer while you finish eating.”

To be precise, after figuring out her identity, her desire to kill or torture her completely disappeared.

“Yes… ?”

“I understood that it was not a lie that I had a connection with Elfriede. Are you working as a blackjack executive now?”

“What, what is it? How did you know? Interference… Do you know how to deal with interference series? Did you read my mind?”

He stroked his hair like he couldn’t believe it.

Of course, I don’t know how to handle interference magic.

No matter how much she stumbled, her crumbs of bread only got on her jet-black hair.

“You belong to Blackjack now, right? You run a business in Blackjack’s name.”

A silence close to emptiness and futility.

Violent waves were raging in Felit’s blue eyes.

He licked his lips as he scrutinized my eyes with a terrified face.

“Yes… Car, I’m playing a casino… “

A place where money makes money. Casino.

A demon who sacrifices people who are driven into a corner, or who seeks to make a fortune, and uses the money of rich people whose money is rotten as a catalyst to run money like crazy.

The amount is so huge that it is safe to say that it was the skeleton that fed blackjack in the early days.

Even now that the organization is somewhat established, it will still be making huge profits.

“I must have met Elfriede because of the mention of shadows. She must have been invited to a meal.”

“Uh… Uh? Exactly. Uh, how do you know? Maybe a shadow? Are you a shadow… ? Eh, was this an entrance exam?”

She is a character who is revealed as a shadow very later. In a way, my junior.

If you made Pelite an ally, or if you completely destroyed the casino and erased the existence of the casino, no matter how Blackjack and Elfride were, the blow would be enormous.

However.

What I am feeding her now is what makes her determined to save her life.

It wasn’t the only reason why she would coax her and inflict her blow on her Elfride.

In a way, there was a more important reason.

“Just answer lightly and eat comfortably. Can’t you hear me?”

I forced the bread into the boy’s mouth. Pellette forcibly mumbles the bread.

“I’m sorry.”

Suddenly, there was a voice in my ear. Even after returning, the voice was vivid.

– Oh, senior! Leave it to me! You have loyalty, you have loyalty.

-Loyalty?

-If you pronounce it like that, it doesn’t feel right. Like this! I will pass the time as a senior. Let’s go!

Like starlight scattering, scenes from that time come to mind and then scatter.

As if not understanding why, Peltte looked at me and mumbled. Like an idiot, like a child who doesn’t know anything, bury everything and eat it.

“If you’re hungry again, tell me.”

“Yes? Ah yes.”

Charles Pellet.

She is the only shadow I didn’t turn my back on the day I was betrayed.
