I see your code (41)

“Take it off… … .”

suffocating sound.

He grabbed his stomach and convulsed. The whites are glistening in the eyes.

Actually, I am the one who is the most confused.

No, I threw it in consideration of blocking it, but I didn’t know it would not react.

I’m sorry, I’m waiting for you, but after a while, I didn’t see any sign of getting up, so I approached him and slapped him on the cheek.

Match!

“Cup!”

This time he grabbed his cheek and rolled it around. It’s cool to see it moving.

After all, once you hit something, it will be fixed.

“Roll up and get up.”

“Ouch… … Yes, you… … .”

“Man, the guy who came to tell me took out his sword. If it were me, I felt like I was going to fall behind and I would be forced to get up even if it hurts. You really might be behind.”

He said as he picked up the scabbard lying in the corner.

This one is also made of black iron stone, and it is crumpled here and there.

I’ll have to make a new one. Guess I’ll have to find a stronger material, so I made a bunch of spares.

He sighed and looked at him and stood up with his sword as a support.

“How could a guy with the same magic power as a rat’s tail… … .”

“I am tired of that repertoire. What about the little boy and what about his magical powers… … . It’s not like I’m learning how to say it.”

He continued, throwing away the crumpled scabbard.

“So, say the words you told me to tell you.”

“… … It’s an invitation to dinner.”

“Invitation to dinner… … .”

smirked I know roughly what the plot is.

“The condition is that the two of us are alone without an accompanying person, and the place and time are whatever we want. Right?”

“… … right. How… … .”

“Because I’m tired of it now.”

“… … .”

As if he didn’t notice at all, he immediately shut his mouth. Thanks to you, I was able to calmly fall asleep.

Byron’s dinner invitation.

This event occurs when the level of alert for the player rises to 80 or higher.

faster than expected

I don’t know if it’s because it’s the beginning, so I’m very wary, or if the witch trial gave me that much awareness. Because it wasn’t in the game.

After thinking a little, he opened his mouth.

“I want to meet you at ‘Royal Road’ this evening.”

“… … i get it.”

“for a moment.”

I caught the guy who was about to leave with his sword as a staff. Then he looked back with gloomy eyes.

“… … Kill me now.”

“What nonsense?”

It’s not that I forgive the attack, but it doesn’t mean that I’ve turned to the point where I can cut someone who doesn’t resist.

I looked at him with puzzled eyes, and looked at him with puzzled eyes.

“Didn’t you mean to say that one head is enough to cut off my head and deliver it?”

What kind of psycho killer do you see people as?

“I just called because I have something to ask you.”

“Something?”

Before opening his mouth, he hesitated a little.

I’m not sure if this is necessary. But you have to be sure. Because there is no description related to it in the game.

A world far from the social norms I knew.

It may be normal on Earth, but it may not be here.

So I made up my mind and opened my mouth.

“Of course, the guest pays for the meal, right?”

I don’t have much money because I spent all my fortune to buy a cart.

in a quiet room.

Byron was sitting in a chair, tapping the desk with her fingers.

tuk. tuk. tuk.

Each time the sound resounded, the body of the man who was prostrate in front of him trembled. It’s been a while since I worked for Byron, but this was the first time I’d seen something like that.

‘… … He is prudent, but he is quick to make decisions.’

It’s already been 30 minutes. doing that

It’s a habit he sees when he’s thinking about something, but he’s never seen that behavior last for more than 10 minutes.

Tuk!

louder than before. The man’s body trembled.

“It’s fun.”

“… … .”

The words were endless, but the man just remained silent. Because I knew Byron didn’t like asking questions.

“How can someone who knows me accept an invitation so docilely… … . You’re not stupid, do you have a plan?”

“… … .”

“It doesn’t matter. There is something else that is important.”

Byron got up and looked at the man.

The man tightly closed his eyes. The feeling of being dug all into one’s own. No matter how many times you try, you never get used to it.

Byron, who had been looking at the man for a long time, immediately closed his eyes.

like savoring something.

“Even if I had some special ability, I wasn’t capable of winning a grade of C… … Have you ever become that strong?”

Byron muttered, then sat back down and started hitting the table with her fingers.

“no. It would be more realistic to hide my skills. It is impossible to become that strong in such a short period of time.”

A smile spread across Byron’s lips.

cheat. A skill that is not appropriate for his age, and even a heart like this. Does this mean that the red blood vessels are blue?

I have always been educated about the greatness of my lineage from an early age, but I didn’t believe in it.

That’s because there were only false sounds, such as shooting the sun with an arrow and destroying a mountain range with a nose wind. I thought it was a made-up story in preparation for the rebellion of the collateral.

‘It could all be real.’

After the war, he was busy taking care of himself. However, it is impossible for a kid who was not even ten years old to grow up like that in Layton.

‘If those nonsense aren’t true… … .’

Is the direct line different?

Byron laughed cynically.

So what about that? Those great people are already buried under the ground.

The strong don’t survive.

The one who survives is the strongest.

‘If you kill the last remaining lineal, it proves that the collateral is superior.’

It’s a sound I’ve always heard since I was a kid.

A collateral cannot defeat a direct line.

It was a saying that had been going on for hundreds of years, but it was also true. In fact, the lineage has never exceeded the lineal line even once.

‘Hundreds of years later, it’s time to slowly change.’

The last remaining direct line is killed, and the collateral becomes a direct line. Reconstruction of the Empire. The emperor of the new world, he will occupy.

Byron grinned and thought as he looked at the man who prostrated himself.

It’s the first time I’m meeting my relatives, so I’ll have to bring some presents.

* * *

There are three reasons for choosing ‘Royal Road’ as the meeting place.

One is that Noblesse runs it directly.

It’s the hidden power of Byron. Anyway, it’s been a while since he revealed his power, so it’s a calculation that he won’t have to face Noblesse.

If it’s the original, it wouldn’t be too dangerous, but it’s better to be careful.

The second is that the ‘Royal Capital’ is located in the most secure place in Layton.

The main members of the Byron faction are criminals.

Even if you gather people with the intention of hitting the back of the head, you will naturally stand out.

If you can figure it out first, you’re confident enough to pull yourself out. And the third and last thing is food.

“It is a dish cooked with the chef’s special sauce with the fins of the pistries.”

Pistress.

It is a creature that lives on the northernmost coast, and it is a few months away by wagon.

“How did you get the materials? Even if I use the locker, it will be spoiled by the time it arrives.”

“The wagon has a dedicated wizard attached to it and uses cooling magic every hour.”

… … The cost of hiring a wizard would be 1 gold a day, but such a luxury. Dozens of gold food is understandable.

If it’s worse than that, what kind of life have you had before?

It was understandable that he was greedy for a noble position. Real life is more than that of aristocrats, but the position would not have fallen short of that.

When I ate the food, it tasted like shark fin.

I’ve never tried it, but it’s roughly set like that, so it’s probably right.

In fact, I didn’t really care about the taste.

Even if it was a taste that was difficult for humans to accept, he would have put it in. Because the fins of the Pistris have the effect of increasing magical power.

Although most of the residents here are unaware of it, most of the world’s high-quality ingredients have this magical power.

Had I known, it wouldn’t have ended with this amount.

As the soft texture descended down the esophagus, I felt a slight but accumulating magical power. It’s a really small amount, but from my point of view right now, it’s a big deal.

As I closed my eyes and tried to measure the accumulated magical power, the employee looked at me with a happy face.

“Does the food taste good?”

“yes. It’s delicious. I have something to ask you, is it okay?”

“Say whatever you want. I was instructed by the manager to treat him with utmost respect.”

“It’s not a big deal, but my companion is coming soon, so please bring me all the food before that.”

The employee had a puzzled expression on his face.

“that… … It’s not impossible, but in our restaurant, dishes are served in course order, so the quality of the food… … .”

“That one is fine. After serving all the food, do not come near.”

“yes? However… … .”

“It’s just that the companion’s personality is a bit crazy.”

When I spoke calmly, the employee smiled confidently.

“Don’t worry. My hospitality experience is 10 years. Any real guest is fine.”

Is it not that you are not qualified to serve as a customer in front of customers?

Just as I was about to say something more, the door opened and a man came in.

profit.

Black hair and golden eyes.

A man who digests combinations that do not seem to suit him at all. It is similar to the setting.

Medium boss Byron.

My eyes met, and he walked towards me with a faint smile.

faster than expected

Watching it, he sighed and said to the employee.

“When food comes, don’t come, just call me. I will take it for you.”

“Yes? Even though… … .”

“Because I’m fine.”

When he gestured to the employee, he turned around with a simple expression of incomprehension.

I should have listened.

“Hey, you were already eating. Did I come too late?”

Turning his head, Byron was standing there with a smile on his face. He didn’t stand up and just shook his head.

“It’s way too fast. I have dinner plans, so why come for lunch? You have nothing to do.”

“It is not polite to leave the other person waiting for me from lunch.”

I frowned slightly.

I knew they were being watched, but I didn’t know they’d even caught someone coming in here.

“Be careful… … I never imagined that such a word would come out of the mouth of a person who kept sending mercenaries to kill me.”

After speaking bluntly, Byron sat down with a friendly smile on his face.

It’s like a neighbor.

“That is a misunderstanding.”

“If you misunderstand me twice, how will you make a person?”

“It is an illusion that I tried to kill you. I have never given such an order.”

He laughed out loud at that.

“Cut off the tail… … . Seniors really like that, don’t they? You can’t manage one subordinate, do you have the qualifications to be a leader?”

I said it deliberately sarcasticly, but Byron was just calm.

“Cut off the tail. Admit that it might look that way. But it is true.”

“Well, Dino, it was an accident. Because we met by chance. But Sirke and he… … Mikre?”

“The lightning Mickelson.”

how do you remember that

“Micred or McCree. You are the one who sent them both.”

“It’s true, but I didn’t send it to kill. I told you to be respectful.”

“Since it doesn’t matter if my limbs are torn off, since when did it become polite to tell me to stay alive?”

“I want you to know that it was a very polite expression from my point of view.”

If it’s polite to rip off the limbs and kidnap them, then pad ribs would be like the sayings of adults.

As he was about to stare at him, Byron pulled out a small box from below.

“There may be differences of opinion, but this was really a misunderstanding.”

“This day?”

“The mercenary who sent me an invitation to eat. I used to cut my own sword.”

Oh, that. I forgot to win too vainly, but it could have been dangerous before I definitely built up my psychic powers.

“The uncle said that you made it.”

“No way. If my condition looked bad, I would only say ‘hello’ and come.”

“I must have said it in a way that could be misunderstood.”

I haven’t seen it, but I’m sure.

Among Byron’s talents, he also has the qualities of a ‘demagogue’. It’s a fact I know myself, so it’s common to mistreat people like that.

Byron replied bluntly.

“I can’t even control my misunderstanding.”

“Are you going to be awkward?”

After a blunt reply, Byron smiled faintly again.

“I understand how bad it feels. My subordinate’s fault is also my fault to some extent. In that sense, I have brought you a gift of apology.”

Then Byron opened the lid of the box.

Even when it was barely opened, an unpleasant odor pierced the tip of his nose.

The smell of fishy blood.

Soon all the boxes were opened, and I checked the code first before looking at the object.

[IT-1-254]

The meaning of the code is the head of an adult male.

“Aww!”

When I looked up at the scream I heard suddenly, the employee from earlier had fallen over, throwing away a plate of food.

“The training of the staff here is not good. You are such an idiot in front of a guest table.”

Byron, who was examining my face, frowned upon seeing it. But then he opened his mouth with a bright smile as if he had come up with something interesting.

“If you feel any guilt, bite your tongue and die right here.”

“OMG… … ah?”

With those words, the screaming employee’s expression went blank. Then he opened his mouth wide, sticking out his tongue, and closing it.

I quickly put my hand in and blocked it.

dump.

Byron smiled as he gently lowered his fallen body.

“Oh sorry. It’s a little unpleasant to see blood at a meal.”

Then he picks up his head near the waiter.

So, I threw him in front of me supporting him.

“I also brought this as an apology… … I think I made the wrong choice. leave it there When you wake up, I’ll tell you to clean it up.”

Byron smiled as he tapped the corners of the box with his fingers.

“So, you sit back. Should we talk?”
