Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 405

Rafa had finished talking with Amon and was visiting Elba in his room at his call.

They were sitting on the sofa across the desk from each other, and Elba was looking over the "report" that Rafa had compiled.

Eventually, he placed the document in his hand carelessly on the desk.

'Rafa, your intelligence work in Bardia. Thank you.

No,I enjoyed it a lot, brother."

Elba's mouth relaxes without hesitation when Rafa speaks to her intimidatingly.

But Elba, on the other hand, gives her a suspicious look on the cheek.

"But I told you to take a few of them if you could. Why couldn't you do that? It's unlike you."

It was an unexpected 'interruption."

"An interruption ......?"

Elba twisted his head, and Rafa explained the sequence of events that followed the raid.

The attack went well, but the coordination between the air monitoring by the bird tribe and the movement of the knights was unexpected.

The air monitoring was something they knew about in advance, and they had thought of countermeasures such as smoke screens and going through the forest.

However, the information obtained by the air monitoring was somehow conveyed to the knights on the ground, and they were too quick to respond.

In addition, an unexpected move occurred that had been seen as unlikely.

"Ammon and Rid Bardia were fighting together?"

"Yes. I staged an encounter between them, just as my brother had instructed me. But when he found out about the attack, he said he would cooperate with Rid".

Elba nodded his head in agreement when he heard this.

"I see. So you changed your original plan?"

Given his character, it was unlikely, but I had assumed it would happen. So I staged the rescue so that the two of them would get to know each other better. The trust we gained from Rid over this could be used in an emergency, couldn't it?"

Elba's mouth relaxes into a grin as her eyes narrow curiously and he tells coldly,

"That's my sister, You know exactly what you're talking about.'

'I am glad you appreciate the compliment. Brother".

Rafa smiled, and Elba turned the conversation around, "By the way, .......

What was the real 'Bardia' as you saw it with your own eyes?

"Yes, it was good. First of all, the head of the estate, the frontier count Rainer Bardia, is quite a skilled man. He manages the territory, maintains security, leads the Order of Knights, monitors neighboring countries, and conducts diplomacy. He is doing well in all these areas. They have also developed things like lotion and charcoal trucks, and their development is very strong. In a few more years, they may develop to the point where even we can't touch them."

"Hm. " Reiner Bardia, frontier count. So, being called the "Sword of the Empire" is not a mere title'.

Elba hit the mark, and Rafa smiled wryly.

"Hmph, my brother. I have noticed something in my own way about that."

What is it?

"I used the art of transformation to infiltrate various facilities in Bardia and gather all kinds of information. Using the art of incarnation, I infiltrated various establishments in Bardia and gathered information about the originator of the lotion and the charcoal wheel that would lead to the development of Bardia. But I found a dwarf who claimed to have invented the charcoal truck. The elves who invented the lotion. No matter who I looked into, it didn't seem like the person who had the spark."

Elba hummed "Hmmm ......" with interest at her words.

"That's odd. According to the information we received from the empire, the idea of the charcoal truck was conceived by the sister and brother dwarves in the service of the Bardia family. The products, such as the lotion, were produced by the Christie Trading Company and the researchers working for the Bardia family. I have heard that each developed them under the direction by Reiner, but that's different ......, is it?"

Nodding, Rafa continued with a serious expression on his face, "Yes."

, "The imperial aristocrats only see what's on the surface. Once you get inside the Bardia family, you'll immediately see the discrepancy".

"I see. I see. You have your eye on the person who came up with the idea, don't you?

"Of course. Perhaps the one who is at the heart of the development of Bardia is that boy. Rid Bardia."

Rafa assured confidently.

The Bardia family's related facilities were heavily guarded.

There was even a fear that an effort to easily transform the family's identity would be exposed.

However, the strictness of the system was proof that there was that much information to be kept secret.

However, no matter how much time and manpower were devoted to the project, no information that would allow the " inventor" to be confirmed came to light.

Instead, information that the eldest son of the Bardia family, Rid Bardia, was "an unconventional person" was gathered from all over the place.

Rafa put together the various pieces of information gathered and came up with a hypothesis.

The central figure involved in the development of all the products is not just out of the public eye, but is not visible.

That is why the dwarves, elves, and Bardia, who are involved in the development and sales of the products, are in the forefront.

And it is the frontier count, "Rainer Bardia," who is leading the movement.

If that is the case, then his son, Rid Bardia, who is rumored to be an "unconventional person," is most likely the central figure, right? Rafa concluded.

Elba looked skeptical and asked, "What ......? Elba twisted his head skeptically.

"That's an overestimation. Rid Bardia is a child, not even old enough to know what he is doing."

"I agree. I wasn't sure until I was face to face with him. But now I've changed my mind."

Rafa said, and then she turned up the sleeve of her left arm.

She had a terrible wound on her arm that looked as if it had been burned.

Elba stared at the wound and marveled, "Oh ......."

"This is from the magic that Rid Bardia had cast on me," she said. Though it was beastly, it could have killed me if I hadn't done it right."

"I didn't know it would hurt you that much, "but you're still in beastification. I see, Rid Bardia certainly looks like he's no ordinary man.

Rafa put back the sleeve of her left arm and continued talking.

I wonder if it was a robe? The imperial aristocrats behind him have yet to realize the boy's true worth. So why don't you bring Rid to his knees and take him into yours? That way, we would truly have Bardia's power."

Hearing her suggestion, Elba leans forward and smiles wryly.

'That's interesting. We can tell the empire that we killed Rid so that we can outsmart them if they later realize his value."

"Yes, and he seems to have a lot of things he wants to protect. So it should be easy enough to get him to give ".

Rafa's eyes narrowed suspiciously at that.

Then, Elba sniffed with a look of disgust on his face.

"Hmph. You talk about it as if I have no blood or tears in my veins."

"I meant to say so. Don't tell me you're mad at me?"

"You're a rude person, aren't you? There are not many gentlemen like me. I'm not sure what you mean by that. I will let you be the cornerstone of the high road at best."

As if he had mastered brutality, Elba smiled happily.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

"It was Malbus. I have brought a letter from the Bardia family. May I?"

"Yes, of course."

Elba replied, and he quietly opened the door and entered.

Malbus looked at Rafa, raised his eyebrows, and nonchalantly handed the letter to Elba.

Elba looked at the letter and grinned.

The answer is as I expected," he said. Now, Malbus. We'll be out of the territory soon."

"Is that ......? Well, where to, may I ask?"

"Bardia, of course. Besides, I want to see the goods with my own eyes."

Malbus, who had been looking at puzzled, rolled his eyes in surprise.

"......⁉ You're going there in person? And what in the world is the purpose of the evaluation ......?"

Heh, that's very typical of you, brother. But I spit on her first. I hope you get that."

Rafa glanced at him suspiciously, and Elba cowered and nodded.

"Oh,After you get him to kneel down, you can do whatever you want to him."

"Oh, that'll be fun."

'Oh, I'm not sure I understand what you two are saying. ......"

Malbus, who had come in the middle of things, was puzzled by the words of brother and sister.
