296 Episode 22 The Box

"Welcome back, 'Black Clown' party girls.

When you enter a high-class inn, a man of the demon race, more than 190 centimeters in height, clad in sturdy muscles, calls out to you in a female tone.

That alone makes him distinctive, but he also wears a small round red ball on his nose, his hair is colored seven colors, and his face is painted white with stars and the moon.

He's dressed like a joke, but the smell of blood and death seeping into his body that seems to drift up here can be felt in the atmosphere.

It's not an atmosphere that can be soaked up by 100 or 200 people.

But for some reason, this oddly dressed person approached me while standing behind the back of a sofa in the meeting space of a luxury inn.

(?)　(Why is this guy standing behind the couch?

The high-class inn has a reception area at the back of the entrance, next to the stairs across the corridor to the second floor accommodations, and on the right side, there is a dining room where you can eat and drink, and on the other side, on the left side, there is a meeting space where a man with seven-colored hair is standing.

In the meantime, he pretends to be cautious so as not to be suspected by the other party.

The seven-haired man, pleased with our reaction, shouts out in a good mood.

It's really been a long time since you've been able to intercept us so quickly, and I'm the most worthy prey to kill you. And I'm the best in the world!　It's true that if you're doing well, luck is on your side. I'm so happy!　All you have to do now is lift your prey, Dirk's head, and you'll be the second best in the organization.

A six-foot-two man with seven-color hair wiggled his hands on his cheeks.

His seven-colored hair rustles with the movement.

I can't help but point out to him.

'Second place?　Isn't that number one?

The first one is our boss, and he is the most powerful assassin in the world. He's the most powerful assassin in the world, so you'll never be able to surpass him: ....... Our boss is really strong. I'm in love with him!

You're the world's most powerful assassin. ...... I'm not really interested in that, so I don't really care. So you're the assassin who came to kill me?　If that's the case, was it okay for you to show your face this openly?

They didn't surprise us from the shadows, which seems to be an assassin, and rode in from the front.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

I'd like to point out that despite this, they still showed up in person.

The man with seven-colored hair lets out a sigh of dismay, "You're impatient," he says.

'You're already impatient. You might not know it yet at your age, but girls won't like you if you're too impatient, right?　It's meaningless advice, though, because I'm going to kill you right now. Because the game is already decided.

When he finishes speaking, he pulls a handkerchief from his pocket.

Gold stepped in front of me with his shield at the ready, while Nemm sat back and strained his legs, ready to move at any moment.

The seven-haired man, unconcerned with their actions, picks up the handkerchief with both hands and unfolds it, moving it several times to show me the front and back sides of the handkerchief.

This is just a handkerchief. As you can see, there are no seeds or traps. But you can put it away with both hands like this: ...... 3, 2, 1, yes!

He unfolded the handkerchief he had wrapped in his hands - it became a large furoshiki size and wrapped the sofa in front of him.

When he removed the furoshiki again, he found a high-class innkeeper woman lying there.

The sofa should have been empty.

The employee woman is not injured at first glance. You can see that she is only unconscious because her chest is moving up and down.

(Why did you want to do this if you're standing behind the sofa? ......)

Maybe it's a level of street art that we should applaud .......

Afterwards, we frowned at the line from the guy with the seven-colored hair, "Boy, that's some stupid whore 'bigotry' with her 'racial (human) absolutism'.

I'm sure you're on good terms with the 'Witch of the Colossal Tower', the whore with the stupid principle of 'absolute racial (human) independence', right?　Then am I going to leave this child behind?

The furoshiki was gone, and a large knife was in his hand.

She seems to be a hostage to us.

Gold reveals his displeasure at the statement of a man with seven colored hair.

'Fair enough, just when you think you've shown up, you do a prickly thing: ......

"Oh no, I'm scared~ The knight is scaring me~

However, the other guy makes a noise to tease us about Gold's discomfort.

In addition, the man with the seven-colored hair threatened us.

"And, too. You can't get caught up in what's going on in front of you. She's not the only hostage! I've set up magic items that contain poisonous gas throughout the Racial Capital, and I'll be ready to help you as soon as I give the order. They've been set up to release the poisonous gas as soon as I give the order.

"............

Not only the woman sleeping on the couch, but the man with the seven-colored hair declared to us, 'We're taking more hostages.

The game is already decided as soon as I appear in front of you. You'll be able to use your own personal computer to create your own personal computer, and you'll be able to use your own personal computer.　Nice name the boss gave me, "Mad Clown"!　I'm the Mad Clown from The Deadly Sword (Morte Sparda)!　This is fundamentally different from all the monsters and mediocrities you've been fighting!　Hey, are we desperate?　Are you desperate to know that the game is already won?　Hey, tell your sister~

The seven-haired man - the Mad Clown - believes he is completely dominant and agitates you with a look of amusement.

He'll agitate you until he's satisfied, then he'll turn his sniveling, teasing gaze on his prey and make a suggestion: "What do you think?

What do we do now?　If this is the case, not only this girl, but the entire city will be destroyed. And if you're willing to give up your head, Dirk, I'm willing to back off without killing her or the humans in the capital city. Hey, what are you going to do?　Dirk-chan is on good terms with the "Witch of the Colossal Tower", a whore who stands for the ridiculous principle of "absolute racial (human) independence". Hey, what are you going to do?　Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

"Give up the neck?　I wouldn't waste that much time.

"...... Oh my goodness, you're surprisingly heartless. I thought you would be a little more distressed or have an interesting response, but you're so quick to give me an answer.

Mad Clown shows his amused demeanor at my cold attitude, which is not the reaction I expected.

He shrugged his shoulders as if to mock us.

You can scream about 'absolute racial independence,' but after all, your own life is the most important thing. It's so boring that you realize you can't win against me, the demon race.

I don't want to be misunderstood, but I'm not despising 'absolute racial independence' for the sake of my life, because-- Because--

From the item box, I spit out the "magic item containing poison gas" that the clown in front of me said he had installed all over the capital of the racial kingdom, and dropped it on the floor.

The square box rattles and makes a small mountain to the floor.

The poisonous gas inside has already been neutralized.

...... Heh?

In front of the magic item spat out in front of me, the mad clown made a puzzled face for the first time, as if to say, 'I don't understand.
