The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard - Chapter 114



114. Elves (1)

It’s already been a few days since we arrived in the north.

“Let’s synthesize the information we found through the Crows and my personal intelligence.”

The party members gathered in the dark underground conference room used by the crows.

Although it was a short period of time, it was intended to synthesize and share the information gathered diligently.

Hanna pointed her finger at a picture of a person on the wall where things were written in a chaotic manner.

“The elf kingdom in the west has previously had enormous financial power from the tourism industry, but they were unable to pull a trick on the empire itself. The reason they began their activities in earnest was largely due to the role of the crown prince, the first heir to succession.”

A man who is also Hannah’s older brother.

Hannah explained, glaring at his painting

Even though they had financial power, they needed high-ranking figures within to exert influence throughout the empire,

After compiling the information, we were able to point out the first prince as the mastermind.

As everyone agreed and agreed, Koyono raised her hand

“I understand that the royal family strictly regulates drugs. But how can the crown prince help an elf who is distributing drugs?”

“That is correct. Currently, the empire considers the distribution of drugs and other drugs a serious crime and punishes them severely. However, it seems that the crown prince wants to establish a drug cartel with himself at the center, even if it means taking that risk. From the elves’ perspective, they are trying to loosen the restrictions on drugs that have been in place since their ancestors through their friendship with the crown prince.”

Eventually, what Hannah added was something that not even I knew.

It was the same story as the imperial family’s history, so it was natural that I didn’t know.

The current crown prince has the right to succession, but he is outside the eyes of the emperor.

Accordingly, in order to gain the upper hand in the battle for succession rights with the second crown prince, the crown prince,

He also formed a cartel using drugs to rebel against his father, who disliked him.

“As a result, the elves plan to set up the crown prince as a puppet and reclaim his power.”

“Then what should we do? Mr. Hannah.”

The one who spoke was Arlot, who had been quietly listening to the content.

The seriousness of the situation was fully recognized.

Drugs distributed by the Elven Kingdom were already floating around in many areas, and there were even a few addicts in the northern part of the country.

“Luckily, we were able to contact the second prince. The Crown Prince, who was feeling uneasy about her holding hands with the Elf and taking over her power, requested our cooperation. To be precise, all he is saying is that he will become a supporter on the premise of his throne.”

“I’m glad I have a cause just to that extent.”

Waking Hannah up was definitely the right answer.

To bring in good allies by contacting the second prince in the capital of the empire in a short period of time.

If we take the second prince, who is the bloodline of the royal family and has the legitimate right to succession, as our successor, there will be justification for what we do.

Of course, even if Hannah is there, she cause she will still be there, but to put it bluntly, she doesn’t have many followers.

Hannah stretched out her finger again and pointed to the clearly organized contents.

At the top of the text she pointed to was ‘Western surprise patrol operation.’

“To deal a major blow to the Crown Prince’s drug cartel, we need evidence. Drug addicts are brought in, distribution is strictly kept secret, and security is also tight. “The plan is to find evidence of drug distribution with the help of the 2nd prince in a short period of time.”

“…What happens if I fail?”

Koyono’s anxious voice rang through the conference hall.

While everyone was silent for a moment, Hannah quietly pondered.

“Maybe… Security will become even tighter, and the 2nd Prince’s agreement to help will lose trust. Please think that you only get one chance.”

Afterward, she took the time to detail her plan to uncover evidence of drug distribution.

Since the situation was already advantageous for the elves, there weren’t many opportunities given to us.

In order to turn the tables, I will have to risk my life in this attack.

The meeting became longer and the plan was revised several times as everyone was cautious.

The final date of action will probably be about a week later.

As an assassin, I, who specialize in undercover operations, will be put into operation.

“Whoa… “I can’t really calm down.”

After a long, long meeting, I walked around the northern city to cool off for a while.

Although it was less lively than in the past, there were still quite a few merchants and people wandering the streets.

I walked alone on the market floor, listening to the friendly voices of merchants.

And there I met an unexpected person.

“…Certainly Mr. Kate?”

“Huh? No, who is this?”

I thought it was her with blonde hair tied up in a tight ponytail, but when I looked at her face, I knew she was right.

Her face was no different from before and now, as if she was eating healthy foods.

Kate, who was giving orders to several merchants, saw my face and her eyes widened.

“Wow, the little boy has grown up a lot. “In the past, it was small.”

“Not much has changed between the past and present… Please stay a little away.”

“Haha, it bounces. It’s nice to meet you like this.”

Just like in the past, it was very painful to be put in a headlock.

We may have only met briefly, but they are really happy to see us.

Somehow, I was led by her hand and we ended up having dinner together.

“You helped me after I lost money due to gambling. “I thought he was just a little kid, but in the end I only got help.”

“I want Kate’s carriage, because Kate needed money. She was a good deal.”

“Haha, yes. Let’s do something like that.”

After leaving the noisy restaurant, Kate let go of her thoughts.

From what she heard, after being bullied by her red-haired uncle, Kate went back to working hard to save up her money.

Perhaps because of her experience of losing all her money, she has accumulated more money than she used to, so much so that she is nicknamed ‘Kate the Rich.’

“Just as there is a saying, “To take one step forward, take two steps back.” I also learned from failure. Haha!”

“You haven’t gambled since then?”

“Ugh… Just hearing the word ‘do’ in gambling can trigger a game. Alcohol, gambling, drugs… “I don’t even touch the bad things.”

“Hmm… “Drugs?”

The story of drugs came from an unexpected place.

Could it be possible for Kate, a wealthy person, to obtain some relevant information?

While I was racking my brain for a moment, Kate looked troubled, perhaps interpreting my silence differently.

“Hmm… I’m saying this because I’m like your younger brother, but don’t ever touch drugs. These days, there is a drug-like powder circulating around the empire, so it’s not a big deal.”

“Of course I have no intention of doing drugs. But I’d like to hear the story in more detail.”

“It’s a boring story… “

Kate seemed upset because work suddenly came up.

I also wanted to spend some time chatting with her after meeting her for the first time in a long time.

I wanted to secure at least a little bit of information as I was standing at an important stage in seeing the ending of this world.

I was able to ask for Kate’s understanding of her and get information about drugs.

The drugs that have such a grip on the empire are, of course, a problem for merchants as well.

This is because once you get into drugs, you focus solely on it, so unless you are a drug dealer, you are bound to suffer losses.

“It’s not just that. Even if my business partners tasted drugs once or twice while distributing drugs… I’ve already lost several close colleagues at work. Really, who makes and sells things like that? “

“That’s an interesting story. So, Kate, are you in a position where you want to eradicate drugs somehow?”

“Well, my mouth hurts if I say it twice!”

“Then I have a suggestion… “

“Huh?”

He put his face close to Kate’s ear and whispered something.

Kate, who has a strong standing among merchants, would be of great help if we had her join our plan.

For a while, Kate and I talked face to face.

* * *

“Kate decided to help too… “I need to get help from as many people as possible.”

There was something I felt after meeting Kate today.

We are not the only people who have a negative view of the elf kingdom and the drugs they distribute.

Gathering as many helpers with the same interests as possible can increase the success rate of the operation.

After gathering my thoughts, I sat down on the bed in my room with no one around, gathered myself, and called out to the devil.

“How have you been, Mr. Chakanbaatar?”

-I’m bored without you. Please communicate more often.

“I have so much to do that I don’t have time.”

-Do you think it should be better than me? But communicating at a time like this, does it make you miss the demon world?

A communication spell cast in the devil’s head. When I cast it, it was the devil who responded within seconds.

After calming down the demon king who was grumbling for a while, I said what I wanted.

“There is something I need help with.”

-I even watched the demons and released them, so what more help do they need?

“The Demon King will also be happy. This is revenge on the crazy people who drink demons.

-…Please explain in detail.

Unlike my expectation that he would burst out in anger and be indignant, the Demon King calmly listened to my story.

The Demon King, who had been listening to the plan for a while, smiled brightly and spoke.

-That’s interesting. There were already rumors that there was a professional human operator who hunted demons and took their bodies. I never thought something like this would happen.

“Are you cooperating?”

-First of all, I don’t think there’s anything I can help you with. I guess we were underestimated too much.

The Demon King’s voice was filled with madness that even felt a sense of euphoria.

Even though it can be wiped out in an instant, maintaining the front line with humans is just the devil’s pastime.

The Demon King seemed very angry at the fact that he had been looked down upon.

All the pieces that can be used have been collected.

We are supported by a huge support force that they cannot handle…

All that was left was ‘execution’.
