Episode 53 – Mors and the Four Pillars of Hell

“It’s the boss. Where is he now? Tell me now”

The man called Zangetsu asked in a casual tone.

And he was talking very superiorly.

Mors, a.k.a. “Rokatta,” was annoyed, but he managed to hold his temper and feign calmness.

“According to the report from the spy raven, Seti is heading for Yggdrasil, a remote region southeast of the continent.”

“Yggdrasil, ……, that’s pretty far away.”

” …… it is the center of the world, and the surrounding forested area is supposed to be home to ‘ancient elf ruins’.”

Kale, the slender woman, answered.

“Yeah, I know that because I’m an elf myself. The retired elves settle there. They don’t want to interfere with the other races.”

“That’s right, Pasha. It’s unclear what his purpose is…is he just enjoying his harem, or…”

“Or?”

“…… No, it’s nothing. It’s just a hunch. Speaking of which, there is one woman among the harem members that I haven’t seen. She’s all white and wears a robe.”

“Robe. A traditional dress in the Central of the Euros continent. The highest ranking executives of the assassination organization, Dark Nine Dragons, called dragons, like to wear them. ……I envy and hate this dirty cloak. ……I hate, I hate, I hate! Hateful, hateful Hiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Shut up, Kale. I can’t figure out where your hate switch comes on anymore. By the way, that’s a new, high-end cloak I made for you guys! It’s not dirty!”

Mors pointed out in disgust to the exclaiming Kale.

“I don’t care about that! So boss! So Seti is in league with the Dark nine Dragons, huh?　That’s great! I’ll kill him! I’ll kill them all!”

This time, Drake, a giant of a man, became excited, revealing his fighting spirit and killing intent.

Mors let out a deep sigh.

“Oh dear, more freaks…… already, you guys are exploding with so much individuality, I can’t stand the grass. But Drake, the Dark Nine Dragons are after the Empress Hina, the rightful heir that Seti is bringing. That’s not very likely, is it? Besides, he’s already taken care of the Black Dragon. You people just won’t listen to me! You little kids!”

Mors is getting angrier and angrier.

It seems that the “Four Pillars of Hell” are getting very angry.

The Supreme Head was also stressed and emotionally unstable.

Only Pasha, who is the only one with common sense among them, is quiet and says, “Well, well”

“Don’t be so angry, boss,……, but I hear that unlike us, the Dark Nine Dragons are not monolithic. If the black dragon dies and another dragon becomes the new boss, things will change, won’t they?”

“Circumstances. …… It is true that the highest ranking dragons other than the Black Dragon may know who I really am. No, you know that,…… one of them sent the “white woman” to get in touch with Seti,…… perhaps she could be a “dragon” as well.”

“Don’t tell me they’re trying to find your body, the ‘source of infection’? If that’s the case, it makes sense that they’re headed for the Ancient Elf Ruins…because that’s where the previous Spirit Queen is retiring. I’m sure there is a grace-based Foresight skill ability?”

“A skill like foresight? I see. …… bad intuition is often right -. The Four Pillars of Hell is ordered to take care of Seti, the God of Death as soon as possible. I don’t care how you do it, even if you kill the women who are accompanying him. …… But bring me back only the girl, Hina, alive.”

“Boss, what is your intention to let her live?”

Zangetsu asked in a hushed tone.

“It can be used as a bargaining chip between the Dark Nine Dragons and the Emperor of Japan. If we make good use of it, we may be able to obtain the entire continent of Euros.”

“Nonsense. At the very least, if the objective is to kill the fierce people of the Euros continent, I will cooperate with you.”

Mors was annoyed by Zangetsu’s words as if he was going to spit them out.

“I thought you’d say that, you battle fanatic! If a brain like you were the boss, the organization would have collapsed long ago! Come on, you should learn to manage it!”

“Stop it now, Boss. Okay, I and the others are heading over now. Also, take care of my Pomple!”

Mors began to breathe and calm down as Pasha followed up.

“…Pomple? Ah, I know… He’s also using his Bad Luck skill and I gave him a special mission. I’m sure he’ll come into contact with them soon.”

” …… No way!? Hey, don’t do that! Pomple has my most prized possessions!”

“- If you want to hide a tree, use a forest. Don’t worry, Pomple’s annoying character will be able to win over them. Well, that’s the only thing he’s capable of (lol).”

At the mocking Mors, Pasha snorted, “Hmph!” and put on her hood.

“Well, okay. If anything happens to Pomple, I’ll kill you at the source of the infection!”

“I’m with Pasha on this one! Boss, after Seti the Reaper, you’re next!”

“Next, I have to fight the main body of the infected.”

“Hate …… Bossu, you’re next after Seti, hate, hate, hate hiiiiiiii!!!”

Hmph.

The “Four Pillars of Hell” disappeared from the scene at once, uttering only the lines they wanted to say.

The room became silent. Mors is stunned.

He slowly gets up from the sofa and goes to the window, looking up at the full moon in the sky.

He looked up and saw the full moon in the sky.

“Do my …… subordinates hate me by any chance?”

Mors tries to soak in the heartbreak of being declared killed by the four top executives.

For a virus that has evolved since ancient times to the point where it has a will, it seems to have some delicate aspects.

Mors looks up under the full moon.

An owl is flitting about.

For some reason, it seems to be circling the royal castle.

The owl is imbued with a mysterious magical power.

The reason is that visual information, which is said to be eight to ten times greater than that of a normal human being, and hearing comparable to that of a sound collector, and were linked to a certain person.

In a certain room in the royal castle, a man wearing magic clothing is keeping watch.

The crystal ball in the man’s hand shows the image of King Rokatta looking up at the full moon.

“–As I thought. There’s something about His Majesty Rokatta…..”

The Great Sage Magus.

He is Manisa’s father and the only court magician who distrusts the current Rokatta.

He thinks secretly.

No matter how drastic the diet is, it is hard to believe that he would transform so drastically.

Why has he grown so tall in the first place?

His tone of voice has also changed, and he is no longer the same insightful person he used to be.

–He is clearly a different person.

Or something that has taken over King Rokatta’s body and is controlling it.

Magus can’t help but think so.

However, it is worrisome that the Duke of Murand, who is the king’s advisor, and other important figures and knights are accepting him without distrusting him.

Even though he was worried about the disappearance of Queen Eliza, whom he had been relying on, it’s funny, isn’t it?

As long as the people around them accepted him, the wise magus thought that he shouldn’t make a fuss and watched him.

And just now.

The four people who had been invited into the king’s room were guardians whose identities were unknown.

The only one with her hood off was a woman of the dwarf fairy tribe, and the other three were a mystery, but appeared to be of different races.

However, all four of them exude an atmosphere that makes it hard to believe that they are knights at all.

Perhaps they specialized in concealment?

–The true devil is said to charm, deceive, and corrupt people with his appearance and sweet words of convenience.

(Did any of those four perform powerful magic? I couldn’t hear their conversation, but …… if I leave His Majesty in this state, he may bring disaster to this kingdom of Grateka. Should I first consult Pope Leila of the Temple of Mersana here, and inform that child Manisa …… or ‘him’…)

The Great Sage Magus was thinking.

By the way, it goes without saying that “he” is “Seti,” the owner of the lunch wagon that his beloved daughter has feelings for and has admitted to dating.
