Chapter 102: Mona's Information...
1069 Words
"I'm sorry, Master. But, My father leaves this matter to me. So, if you wanted, I can immediately explain to you what's been wrong with Coggs Villa."
"... I see... I guess that's something that I should see coming too. Very well then, Mona. Please explain it to all of us what's been going on with Coggs Villa."
It's naturally regrettable for me to not being able to see face to face with the King. After all, it would be nice for me to see what kind of a person the king is. Because all problem should be taken care by the king. If the king doesn't want to take care of a problem that means that the king is also a part of the problem.
So from now on, I need to plant a seed of hypnosis in Mona to not to be too attached to her father so that when the scenario asked us to kill her dad, we can kill it without feeling too guilty...
"My father stated that the problem in Coggs Villa has been going on for one hundred years. He said that one hundred years ago... There's something happening right beneath Coggs Villa... At first, he just said that it's a monster egg waiting to hatch. Because it constantly throbs and can only be felt when we're serious. Usually, Monster egg doesn't hatch that long. Not too mention, this area is too safe for something like this to go unnoticed...
That's when he decided that it's too late and send a few troops toward it... All of that troops, is eaten alive by the egg... It's concluded that the egg is some sort of a Demonic Creature egg... We don't know what's inside of it, but Father told me to not say to anyone..."
Everyone was mesmerized to hear such stories. Very interesting flow of story indeed. Due to how good her voice is, it's easy to memorize and even imagine what's going on from nothing but a mere description...
Anyway... It's time to plant a seed of hypnosis.
"Say, Mona... Is it natural for the king to refuse to talk about this to anyone?"
"Hm? Ah, yes. Father doesn't like to talk about it too much because he said he had sacrificed too many troops stupidly trying to investigate what's beneath. But from what I know, it's all safe when I come down there to see what's been going on... There's indeed some sort of egg, but when I'm there, it's not really that alive..."
... My parties look at each other trying to understand the means together... Not everyone immediately understand. But Mercy and I immediately understand what this means...
'OneSec.'
Mercy immediately texted me something. Of course, I know the flow of the conversation is going. I just go along with it and stated.
"That's weird... For a monster that's been going for a hundred years to not do anything to you despite it's eating so many things in the past."
"... That's true... I've found it quite weird as well. I don't know the reason why, But it's very weird that Dad tries to keep it a secret."
... She calls her Dad... Good, something has immediately changed when I pointed that out. I immediately look at Mercy and everyone started to notice what I'm planning to do.
"So, do you think that it's possible that your Father has anything to do with the appearance of the egg itself? Because I think that it's weird how your father has never tried to get rid of it."
"That's right... My dad never really once attempted to properly get rid of it. The most he sent is just six people..."
Yeah... It confirms my suspicions already... He's definitely someone behind this. I don't know what role he plays or what benefit he gets from helping a human. But this is not something that I accepted. I hate stuff like this and I will definitely make them pay for it...
"It seems like my hunch is correct... Thank you for your information, Mona. I will talk to you again later."
"Ah, yes, Master. Thank you for having me."
Everyone has grasped the picture from a wider and bigger, better angle. There's nothing that we cannot see in this plan... Obviously, we've planted some suggestion in Mona's head. It's pretty easy. But the thing that we needed to do now is investigate the King...
It's easy with Mona, but it's risky with Mona. Since I don't know whether she's on our side or his side... Since this has come to it...
"Fangaztaz."
"It's my turn?"
"Yeah... You're the only one who can spy on the both of them from a very special distance... It's hard to believe in Mona right now. I know that she's been doing well with her explanation. I still think that we cannot take this step lightly with her..."
"Understandable... I am a Portal Gunner anyway. But since that has come to this... I need someone who's capable enough to continue making me go ape s**t!"
"... Ammo?"
"No, a distraction!"
If distraction is something that he looks forward to have... Then he's the only one who we can rely on.
"Kaixen."
"I'm on it. Let me be on the same team as this wonderkid and then you protect Blossom and Mercy, yeah?"
"Of course. I'm going to stay clear on the coast and let you guys do your thing. Just know that I will back you up the moment I see something is not right with your condition. So don't ever worry about something that might happen in battle. Since I will be prepared to do anything to keep you guys alive."
"Understood, Leader!"
Everyone understands their assignment. Kaixen and Fangaztaz are going to be the scout. Me, Blossom and Mercy are going to keep guard all behind them so that when they do encounter anything. They didn't need to worry about anything...
"Now, please start your task right away. The more time we spend on investigating, the more clue we got. The more clue we got, the easier it is to determine what we needed to do!"
"Aye aye!"
Kaixen and Fangaztaz immediately disappear from the room to scout the situation.
"You two go to the roof. I'll keep an eye out from inside the castle."
"Understood!"
Everyone got their task. Now, it's just the waiting game.
