Otome Game Mob Villain

Chapter 474

"I didn't realize there was such an exchange. ......"

"Isn't it a masterpiece?"

Chris, you are reckless.

But that's as expected.

I guess they guessed Elba's character from what he said and did, and deliberately used the word "sell" and "buy" to get a word out of him so that no harm would come to everyone who was kidnapped.

When Rafa's story was over, Amon cut in, "But, sister."

Why did my brother ...... keep Chris by his side in this battle?"

"He intends to break her heart and bring her to her knees by making her witness the spectacle of crushing Bardia. My brother likes to break people's hearts, you know."

Rafa cowered frightenedly and shook her head.

Then she narrowed her eyes suspiciously again.

"The meeting is over now. I'll do you a favor. I'm looking forward to ...... seeing how far you can go against my brother."

"Please look forward to our success. And please, please, please give us your word."

When I reminded her, she nodded her head.

Yes, of course. See you later, Rid, Amon. We'll see each other again. If you guys survive, though, ....... Hmm."

She smiled and disappeared into the dark night with Piany in tow.

I sat there, my entire body relaxing as Rafa and the others disappeared completely.

'Huh. ....... Somehow, the meeting went off without a hitch, didn't it?"

"Master Rid. It was splendid."

Capella took out a water bottle from his bag and poured it into a cup.

"Thank you," I accepted the water and slurped it down in one gulp.

Actually, I've been thirsty for a long time.

"I am amazed that you were able to pull that much out of her,"

"Haha, but it wasn't just me. I'm not just a force to be reckoned with, It is the result of a mixture of everyone's power and various other factors."

I answered Amon with a wry smile and stood up.

"I've got to get back to the fort. We still have a lot of work to do back at the fort. Mia, please show us the way back."

"Yes, Master!"

She saluted and immediately started running toward the forest.

We started to move from the spot as if we were following her.

But I stopped and looked at the lights in the camp of the Grandek family.

Mel, Chris, and everyone else.e. I'll rescue you, I promise.

Soon after I muttered, "Master Rid. Quickly! I heard Capella's voice.

"I'm sorry. I'll be right there!"

And so we set out on our way back to the fort.

On the way back, Amon asked me about Noir, but I told him it was nothing to talk about on the move.

Perhaps she too will be the key to this battle.

All that remains is to pray that Rafa will do what we 'asked' him to do tomorrow. ...... No, we haven't done all the personnel yet.

I pray only after we have done all we can do.

I was so excited that I ran through the forest in the dark of night.

◇

After returning to the narrow fortress, I, Amon, and Capella were the first to go to the room where my father was.

" ...... and above. I can't say for sure until we see what happens tomorrow, but I can say that the meeting with Rafa Grandek was a success."

When Father heard our report, he nodded and said, "Well, thank you for your hard work."

"The renovation of the fort has been roughly completed as planned. Now you should rest well."

"Thank you, Father. Now, if you'll excuse me."

Just as I was about to turn on our heels and leave the room, he stopped me and said,

Yes, father. What is it?

I turned around to see my father with a clumsy look on his face.

What's wrong? I tilted my head and he shook his head.

"..... No, it's nothing. Sorry for stopping you."

".....? I understand."

I left the room without understanding his intention and headed to the place where all the members of the Second Order were waiting for me.

"Father. What was you trying to say to me earlier?"

"Perhaps he was concerned for Master Rid's safety."

I thought back to our earlier exchange on the road and muttered something to Capella, who answered.

I did not stop and turned my attention to him.

'Why didn't he just tell me directly?"

"I guess it's difficult for Rainer-sama to do so, given his position."

"Why?"

This time I stopped and asked him, and Capella was in awe.

"I am afraid to say that Master Rainer's personal feeling is that he does not want the still young Master Rid to go to the battlefield. However, Master Rid's help is necessary for the decisive battle against the Grandeks. As the protector of his country and his domain, he must have mixed feelings, which he cannot reveal."

"Ah ......"

I see. From my father's point of view, I am still a young child.

No matter how much it may be to protect one's country and territory, it must be heartbreaking to send one's children off to war.

"Hmmm, you two are such a good parent and child. I envy you."

Amon, who was watching the exchange from the side, burst out laughing and smiled gently.

Ummm...yes. Thank you. Tomorrow, I'll have a little talk with father before we leave.

I think that would be best."

Capella was awestruck and Amon smiled.

I felt somewhat embarrassed and scratched my cheek to hide my embarrassment.

"Oh, by the way, we need to get to the others as soon as possible."

I said deceptively, and proceeded toward our destination.

When we arrived at the encampment of the Second Order in the fort, I had each squad leader and sub-commander summoned to a room in the fort through Diana.

In the room was the commander of the Second Order, Curtis. He is assisted by Stein and Raymond.

As soon as everyone was seated around the desk, I coughed and listened attentively.

'Thanks for refurbishing the fort. Thank you for all your hard work. And I have a report to make."

I cut to the chase as I was met with the attention of everyone's stiffening faces and bated breath.

"Tomorrow, we will execute the operation as originally planned."

'Oh, ......⁉"

Everyone's tension dissipated a little, and there was a relieved murmur in the room.

The squad leader and deputy commander have been notified in advance of tomorrow's move of two different strategies.

That's if the meeting with Rafa succeeds or fails.

My statement now means that the meeting was successful, so tomorrow we will move with the strategy that has the best chance of winning.

No wonder everyone is relieved.

'Well then, we will now go over the final confirmation of tomorrow's operation'.

"All right!"

When the group members responded with a strong fighting spirit in their eyes, I, along with Capella, Diana, Curtis and the others, reiterated tomorrow's plan.

After some time, when we had finished confirming the strategy and arrangements to some extent, there was a polite knock at the door of the room.

"Master Rid, this is Rubens. May I come in?"

"Yes, please come in."

When I answered through the door, Rubens said, "Excuse me," and entered the room.

But he blinked his eyes as if he did not expect everyone to be in the room.

Unintentionally drawing attention from everyone in the room, Rubens seemed somewhat embarrassed.

"......? What's wrong?"

"Oh, no, it's ......."

Rubens scratches his cheek to hide his embarrassment and glances at Deanna.

Then he clears his throat and suddenly regains his composure.
