332話 鬼姫の正義とお誘い
「スキルを奪った?」
】、それ以外にもスキルを奪えるシステムがあるとは驚きだった。
「やはりタロしゃんもそこに目がいくかの。そうじゃ、大罪スキルは
カラカラと笑ってすらいる。
仮に俺たちがこの場で彼女を襲ったとしても......いや、いついかなる時に戦いを挑んだとしても、絶対に勝てるといった圧倒的な自信を滲ませている。
「闘技場イベントで優勝する以外にも、『フェイト・ノストラード』と『殺人請負会社リトル・マッドハッター・インク』から大罪スキルを奪えれば、この都市の支配権簒奪もありえる?」
先ほどまでの自身に満ち溢れた態度はなりをひそめ、代わりに限界まで研ぎ澄まされた抜身の刃のような空気をまとわせる九霧さん。
「【狂気の殺し屋】の首席幹部『アルヴェルト・アナスタシア』は何かと逃げるのが上手い奴でのぉ、うちでも仕留めきれなかったのじゃ。『ラッキー・ルチアーノ』の方は......勝負すればうちに負けはないんじゃが、絶対に勝てない相手でもあるのじゃ......そもそも会えんのじゃ」
だからこそ、『オルトロス
「特に『オルトロス一家』は、『フェイト・ノストラード』と組織の規模が近差じゃからの。ただでさえ、前ボスをキルしてからは全面抗争中じゃし、必死になっとるんじゃろうな」
対してうちらは、まだまだ力不足と嘆息を吐く九霧さん。
「所持する大罪スキル数こそは対等でも、【夜叉組】は構成員の数からして他の三大組織と比べれば弱小なのじゃ」
「なるほどです......」
「しゃて、この都市についての説明は終わりでよいのじゃ?」
「ありがとうございます。とてもわかりやすかったです」
「ならばここからは、ぬしらと対話をしたいのじゃが――」
九霧さんはこれまでの会話を仕切り直すように、砕けた姿勢からあぐらをかいては前のめりになる。その瞬間、周囲に
とのやり取りがあったばかりだった俺は、九霧さんの言い方に妙な引っ掛かりを覚える。
「できれば、タロしゃんとは仲良しのままでありたいのじゃ。だから、『
ざわり、と風が揺らいだ気がする。
「なにせここは、【夜叉組】のお膝元。抵抗すれば、ただじゃすまないじゃろ?」
その言葉が互いの緊張を一気に上昇させる。
場が静けさに包まれるなか、中庭の池からカコンッと、ししおどしが鳴り響く。
それが合図であったかのように九霧さんはカラカラと笑い、俺たちに要求を伝えてきた。
「うちらと手を組み、大罪スキル奪取に協力してほしいのじゃ」
平皿に入った飲物をグイッとあおり、九霧さんは語る。
「うちらがこの都市の支配権を握れば、搾取されるだけの
をボロ雑巾のように扱う歓楽街の仕切りもじゃ」
リリィさんやトワさん、ミナも彼女に同調するように不快気に顔を曇らせる。
「うちらが【鉄と鎖の腐敗都市ギルディガリオン】の支配権を握ったならば、いずれはここを【薬学都市】にしたいと思っておるのじゃ。ほれ、まがりなりにもヤバイ薬を生産してるのなら、治療の薬だって作れるかもしれん」
それに――と、何かを言いかけた九霧さんは、自分を嗜めるように深呼吸を挟んだ。
まるで焦る自分を律するために、鼓舞するために自身の両頬を叩く。
「こやつらの欠けた手足や消えぬ傷すら完全に癒す、
彼女の言葉を皮切りに、俺たちの緊張は更に高まる。
だって九霧さんがリアルモジュールであり、現実改変を認識している側であると決定づける発言だったから。
さて、ぬしらの返答はいかに?
圧をかけてくる彼女から、そう問いかけられているような気がして、返答次第によってはこの場での殺戮も厭わないといった覚悟はヒシヒシと伝わってくる。
「............」
「なーんてな。本心から協力してほしい相手に、脅しなんてのはもってのほかじゃ」
しかし予想とは違い、九霧さんはピンと張り詰めた空気を薙ぎ払うかのようにしてカラカラと豪快に笑いだした。
「別に断られても、
だが、すでに俺たちは彼女に借りのある立場になってしまっている。
だいぶ貴重な情報を彼女の口から、無償で聞いてしまったのだから。
彼女は終始あっけらかんとしているが......かなりのやり手でだろう。
それに九霧さんは現実改変を把握している貴重な人物であり、できれば俺たちの味方に引き入れたい。
かといって今すぐ、協力に値するほど信用のできる相手だとも言い切れない。
みんなの顔色を窺ってみても、3人も俺と同じく決断を下すか逡巡しているようだった。
支配権の抗争に明け暮れていたら、1週間や2週間はすぐに経ってしまうだろう。その間に現実では多くの殺傷事件が起きる可能性だってある。
彼女に協力する、その選択が果たしてベストなのか......?
その確信が持てずに俺が返答しあぐねていると、屋敷内を揺るがす怒号が響き渡る。
ぁ! 宴会中に失礼しやす!」
俺たちが会食するお座敷に乱入してきたのは、恰幅の良い隻腕の女性だ。
顔には誰かの返り血らしきものが飛び散っていたが、ここは気にしたら負けだろう。
九霧さんはその報告を耳にして般若の如き笑みを浮かべた。
「どうじゃ? 協力の話はひとまず置いて、この都市の男共が果たしてどんな奴らなのか、一緒に見物にでも行くかの?」
336 Episode 332: Princess Oniji'S Justice And Invitation
"Did you take the skill?"
It was surprising that only mercenaries with titles (players) could perform each other [Noble Resolutions (Duel) Fighting Areas (Dams)], and that there were other systems that could take away skills.
"Do you still have eyes in your balls?Well, the Great Crimes Skill is the kind of special skill that the killer can (...) take from the possessor. "
She's even laughing.
Even if we attacked her on this spot... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
"In addition to winning the arena event, can you take control of this city by stealing the Great Crimes Skill from 'Faith Nostrard' and 'Little Madhatter Ink'?"
The attitude that was full of yourself just now was a distraction, instead, Mr. Jiufo gathered the air like a blade that had been sharpened to its limit.
"Albert Anastasia, the chief executive of [Crazy Killer], was such a good runner that we couldn't get rid of him.Lucky Luciano... if we win, we won't lose, but some of us will never win... we'll never meet. "
That's why two members of the Orthos Family are looking bloody for prizes for arena events.
"Especially for the Orthos family, the size of the organization is not nearly the same as that of the 'Fait Nostrad'.But even after killing the former boss, there's been an all-out struggle, and you're going to get desperate. "
On the other hand, we are still lacking in strength and sighing, Mr. Jiufo.
"The number of felony skills is equal, but [Nightforks] are weak compared to the other three organizations based on the number of members."
"That's enough....."
"Now, can we finish explaining this city?"
"Thank you, it was very easy to understand."
Well then, I'd like to have a conversation with Nushira from here...
Mr. Jiufo was upset from his shattered posture to reorganize his previous conversation.At that moment, the female NPCs who were surrounded by samurai (samurai) corrected their positions.
I just had an exchange with the Orthos (family), and I feel strangely caught in Mr. Koufog's way of speaking.
"If possible, I'd like to remain friendly with Taro.That's why I don't say "no."
I feel like the wind is shaking.
"Anyway, this is the knee of [Night Fork Team].If you resist, I'm sorry. "
That word raises tensions between us all at once.
As the field is wrapped in tranquility, the courtyard pond sounds crispy and delicious.
As if it was a sign, Mr. Kunigi smiled and conveyed his request to us.
"I want you to join hands with us and help me seize the Great Crimes Skill"
The drink in the flat plate was flickering, says Mr. Kunigi.
"If we take control of this city, we can help more women who are just being exploited.If you put a city under control, there should be a huge increase in the number of businesses you can do.Lucky Luciano is actually using people in the city to produce firearms and drugs. "
It's also a pleasure town partition that treats girls like rags.
Lily, Towa, and Mina were also uncomfortably clouding their faces to match her.
"If we took control of the [corrupt city of iron and chains, Gildigarion], we would eventually like to make it a [pharmaceutical city].Look, if you're producing a bad drug, you might be able to make a cure. "
Besides, Mr. Kunigi, who was about to say something, took a deep breath to his liking.
Tap your cheeks to inspire yourself as if you were in a hurry to discipline yourself.
"How romantic would it be to make a panacea (elixir) that completely heals even their missing limbs and vanishing wounds?"
Her words make us even more nervous.
Because it was a statement that determined that Mr. Jiu Mist was a real module and that he was aware of the reality modification.
Well, how's the clumsy answer?
I feel like she is asking me that, and depending on the response, I am willing to kill on this occasion.
............
Hmm. There's no other way to threaten someone you really want to cooperate with. "
However, unlike expected, Mr. Jiufo smiled happily as if he was squeezing out the tight air.
"Even if they refuse, they won't do anything.This is not a free dissolution. But I want you to think a little bit about the proposal to slash the painting. "
But we're already in a position to owe her.
I heard a lot of valuable information from her mouth for free.
She's always in the dark... but she must be pretty good at it.
And Mr. Kunigi is a valuable figure who knows how to change reality, and hopefully he wants to be on our side.
Anyway, I can't tell you right now that I'm trustworthy of cooperation.
When I looked at the faces of everyone, it seemed that the three of them were making the same decisions as I did.
A week or two would soon have passed if the struggle for dominance had dawned.In the meantime, there could be many killings in real life.
Is it the best choice to cooperate with her...?
If I reply without being sure, the anger that shakes the Mansion will echo.
"I wonder if you'll excuse me during the banquet!"
It is a well-armed woman who has entered the sitting room where we dine.
Someone's blood was scattered on his face, but if he cared, he would lose.
Nine mists smiled at the report.
"Why don't you put aside the story of cooperation and go see what the men in this city are like?"
