The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

Episode 053: Stopped Waterwheels

The company house around the waterwheel cabin was congali by the time it was brilliant.

I guess it didn't burn because it was wet, even while the house and roof were burning.

Only the water wheel immersed in the river is so awesome that it keeps the prototype, but otherwise the roof and the door, all the wooden parts, were burning off.

Of course, even if it was set on fire, people were staked out by the river, too, so if it was on fire right away, there's no way it could burn like this.

I told him not to put out the fire.

Both Lachramanus and the parchment guild need results that can appeal to the outside world.

If you give it to him, the way he drinks down will be different than not giving it to him.

What burned was a building that was no longer necessary for me and Howe.

"Did it take?"

"Oh."

When asked when she arrived, the cuff answered briefly.

More than twenty human beings, including the cuff, are on the site of a burned-down company house, even though it's already midnight.

Is it deeply thoughtful, seeing the house that became ashes, some are crying?

The area was brightly illuminated because of the massive burning fire in the middle of the ruins.

By the burning fire, there is only one person who is not well.

He is covered in monkeys and tied with rope in the back of his hand.

That's what dragged him all the way to me.

He got bogged down until he was half dead, and his face was swollen.

Looks like this is one of the arsonists.

Nevertheless, it's not just because of the trauma that things are going wrong.

He had a black headscarf on his black outfit and was dressed like a ninja.

I don't get it well because my face is allergic, but it looks old man's age.

"Hmm, that's gonna take... take him off the monkeys"

"I'm gonna hurt myself."

Are you going to die?

"Oh well. Then stop."

Don't let them bite your tongue off.

"You tried to die."

"'Cause you tried to stick a knife up your belly, and before you did, you bumped it with a stick of wood and bit a monkey."

Cuff's voice seeped with an unhidden rage.

After all, I guess I have something to think about arson.

"You're in the mood."

Enemies and allies.

"You're not staying asleep, let him sit down"

The man was forced by one of his employees to get his upper body up and sit down.

I haven't been roped to my feet, so I can sit or walk.

but you won't even be able to escape in this situation.

The man sat quietly in a hush.

"Do you want to start interrogating me for now?"

I crouched in front of a man.

"Are you from the Second Division Army? Nod or shake your neck to the side."

……

The man keeps staring at us.

"So you're a private soldier from Lachramanus?

Even if I ask, I still don't react to anything.

Is that it? Is he exercising his right to remain silent?

"Fair enough. No, I wonder which one of you is caught in this trap."

A trap is a simple people-capture trap.

Enough thick branches of trees near the factory and keep them connected to the ground with rope.

Round the connecting tip and cover the clasp with the ring you are playing with.

When the bender kicks the clasp, with the force of the branches that have become returning, the wheeled rope rises, his legs tied up by hanging procedures, making the human a single fisherman.

I thought it was night that they attacked me anyway, so I let them make it in half funny.

This one, it took it.

Attempted self-harm would be while hanging upside down.

I struck down there with a long stick.

If they used a blade to fight back, it wouldn't be weird if the injured came out, so it's the right way to hit him with a long stick.

"Hmm..."

But I don't know what to do.

Nothing, you don't want me to throw up.

Kill.

If you kill him and bury him, he might confuse the other side.

The disappearance of a person who should have been taken prisoner is a difficult thing to deal with.

I don't know if I betrayed you, vomited you, or killed you from the other side, so I'm worried about what happened.

Or, if I let you go, will you be one of the lenders to the witch house?

I don't know.

Hmm.

"Take off the monkeys."

After getting lost, I said.

Do you mind?

The cuff was a surprise.

It would be because I would commit suicide.

"It's funny to torture you, but you don't have a story to ask. I don't care if you're a second-division soldier or a private soldier. The key employers are cracked."

"Or so it is."

You seem convinced.

"I'll tell you before I take off the monkeys, I don't expose them to corpses. It's nice to bite your tongue to death, but then you naked it and bury it in the woods. Then you'll be treated as a missing traitor. For me, that's what I get the most out of it. Don't feel bad."

I mean, you don't have to make me throw up anyway, so I don't mind killing myself.

You don't have to bother putting your hands down, you're going to die from yourself, so you can work less.

"All right, monkeys."

I tried to tell him to take it off, and I stopped saying it.

Why did this guy try to kill himself when he was suspended?

From this guy, it's obvious that it would be more convenient to have your people confirm your death than to be killed in the form of a missing person.

I don't know what kind of organization it is, but he actually ran away alive. Or betrayed me. You don't have to think about the possibility.

If that's the case, aren't you in the mood to be sure which one you fell on?

"Hey, well, I figured we'd do it in a burnt water wheel cabin"

"Why?

"Someone could be lurking in the distance and looking at this one"

The moonlight is bright tonight, and I can see it all the way, but if I can lay low on the grass, I can't see it from here.

The burned water wheel cabin is full of coal and falling ceilings inside, but with burnt walls on all sides, it can be separated from the spy's eyes.

"Carry it."

Dragged by employees, the crooks were put inside the factory.

Lights lit with pine tips stuck in barrels of heavy oil are also carried.

It's hard to get black smoke so flashy...

It stinks.

"Build a hedge at the entrance"

The entrance door is burnt down, so if it is open here, it is visible.

"All right, take the monkey off."

When I checked to make sure I had a pedestrian hedge, I gave the signal, and the monkey was removed.

……

I'm staring at this one, but it doesn't bite my tongue.

Why?

In this guy, you need to reveal the body to your buddies, and I guess you can't choose self-harm in a situation where it might not be exchanged.

"Yeah, won't you die...... I see."

There are two possible motives for self-harm.

One is that if you don't do yourself harm, you will have a worse afterlife than harming yourself, so cut yourself off raw.

This includes common suicide, that is, suicide with pessimism about life.

For example, the Krah caught me, so I die.

You have to live your whole life as a slave and, in the case of a woman, as a sex slave. Make it bitter and die yourself.

Or, if they are caught by people torturing people that don't keep their form, for example a witch house, either way, they only wait for pain, so they cut their own lives off.

No matter how stupid this guy is, he won't think we're animals like that, so these don't apply.

Another is a case of fear that living will undermine something important.

Cases such as suicide to leave a family member with insurance money would also apply to this.

Or, by being tortured, you throw up information and die for fear of betraying your companions and those you serve because of it.

But if that's the case, this guy should have chewed his tongue the moment he untied the monkey.

That means another reason is possible.

If a betrayal is known to an ally, what you want to protect is compromised by the ally.

So they put a line on me saying, "If I die, I'll work like you betrayed me," and I'm hesitant to die.

"Come on, I don't know what to do. When you betray me, will Ka-chan die, or at that age, even the kid will not kill you?

When I said that, this guy looked a little surprised.

Outreach, you're the type to put it on your face.

"That's the way they like it."

Well......... what is it?

You can keep missing it, but I can't show you that.

I'm a lot angry about cuffs.

"All right, I'll miss you. You will be asked to bring back the hostages held by the witch family."

"... what?

I talked.

It's hard to hear because of the beating and swelling in my mouth, but I did talk.

"Live and hell, die and hell. As a traitor, you're on the run protecting your family."

………

"Hey, Yuri"

Cuff didn't seem convinced to go.

"If I put this guy back, he'll just fit right in his original sheath."

"I know. So if this guy doesn't come back, I'll run a rumor over there. Howe Co. got the traitor. The information is out of hand."

………

The old man's complexion was stiff.

"I went back with a bumpy twat, nothing. I was missed. So you think they'll believe you over there, too? Plus, if this rumor spreads, this guy will be confirmed as a bribed spy. Not very much, but I can't live."

That being said, the cuff looked difficult.

"But why is it so hard around here?"

"Nothing, you're just clearing up where you killed him."

"... well, yes"

"I don't know how much evil he has worked in the past, but if he worked evil, he just worked, and he knows better than to know. That's all there is to chase. It should be easier for him to get killed on the spot and exposed to the trees there. At least you don't have to be treated like a traitor."

"... if that's what you mean, I don't like it either."

All right.

"Hey, you. You can go. Get up quick."

When I kicked him and made him stand, the old man ran away, tied with a rope in his back hand.

"So I guess the underground warehouse is safe?

"I guess."

"Probably? You're not sure?

A rare clue to cuff.

The underground warehouse houses separating devices, roughly seperated barrels of oil, and a variety of things, starting with girders.

The door is a fire protection specification sprinkled with water over soil, and the holes are built deep, so no matter how vigorous the ground burned, it should have been okay inside.

As long as we have the equipment to evacuate to the underground warehouse, we can quickly resume operations elsewhere, even without such waterwheel huts or digging huts.

"The burning house is falling and it feels natural. When you open the rubble, it becomes obvious that there is a door."

Oh, you mean that.

"Hopefully by the end of the day, I'd like to take the carriage to HQ."

When I said that, the cuff tilted its neck.

"The underground warehouse won't find out. Can I leave you alone?"

"In the flow, I provoked them more than I had to. You might retaliate with your thoughts."

Possible enough.

Even though the underground warehouse won't find out, it's not hard to find the door if you look closely.

The fire door is also locked, but if you knock it down with an axe, you can put it in normally.

I couldn't say enough.

"Oh, you won?

"I won. Then, because he's been taking an asshole provocation on the seat, he's going to crush his mentes all round."

Really, why did this happen?

If I lost him, the stash over there would go down, and I was wondering if it would be okay for another two months or so.

"Well... then maybe we should just keep an eye out"

"Unique. If that thing goes away, it'll be a lot late to re-run."

"Well, once we get back to the city, we'll get a carriage."

They still have the twats to ask for.

"If it's a Cakedri for two, it's right away. Get behind me."

I haven't even spooked the night yet.

Then you can buy some booze, and you can have it.

"Before I do, I just have to say one thing."

"What?

"You're sweet. Be careful not to get stuck."

It was harsh reprimand.

Oh, I knew you weren't fooled by Colo.

I know it with me.

That man is right to kill and bury him.

I told him to live, hell, hell to die, and so on, but he has the option to go straight to the front door of Lacramanus' mansion and do whatever it takes to cut his belly off his life.

That way, I can prove my innocence.

In that case, the psychological effect of killing and burying them makes them undesirable.

Even if he brings hostages to the tail and then on a vagrancy journey, there's nothing for me.

But if you kill him, you can expect one thing for sure, one effect in my favor.

I thought the hostages were being taken, and I had feelings for them.

"I know."

Even so, it didn't involve a real feeling.

Will the time truly come to understand?
