As Long as You Have the [Shop] Skill, the Dungeonized World Is a Breeze ~The Bullied Youth’s Payback Lifestyle~ - Chapter 219
Chapter 219 – Just a Siscon
“That’s why we don’t need any more changes. If Sayuri-neesan changes any more, this religious order will fall apart.” (Aoyama)
I suppose it was pretty unbecoming for a head to simply change the rules of the order and invite in a man, all the while pushing for the extermination of men as well.
After all, Sayuri-san was only granting the wishes of others all this time. Unless she personally made the decision herself from the bottom of her heart, she wouldn’t be able to stand firm in those beliefs.
“I’m very sorry, but I would like you to leave this place immediately.” (Aoyama)
“Wouldn’t it be easier to just try and kill me?” (Torimoto)
“…Men are indeed only worthy of contempt, and I truly do wish death upon all of the men who try to get close to Sayuri-neesan, but…” (Aoyama)
That’s more than enough reason to want to kill me, isn’t it?
“But I won’t go out of my way to try and kill you, as long as you don’t do anything to harm Sayuri-neesan.” (Aoyama)
It seemed that for Aoyama, everything revolved around Sayuri. Then again, it made sense. The reason why Aoyama hated men was because she had heard about Sayuri’s experience. Aoyama herself hadn’t been harmed by a man.
“Then what about the ongoing conflict? You no longer intend to form a temporary alliance with the Inochi-shirazu and the Apostles of Peace?” (Torimoto)
“……No, that’s not it. Just this time, we won’t be able to get through it alone. But if it turns out that there’s still nothing we can do in the end, I’m planning to have Sayuri-neesan escape by herself.” (Aoyama)
“She will definitely resent you for that.” (Torimoto)
“Whether she hates me or feels resentment towards me, my wish is for Sayuri-neesan to live.” (Aoyama)
“….You really love Sayuri-san, don’t you?” (Torimoto)
“Is it strange to want to protect your family?” (Aoyama)
“No, I know exactly how you feel.” (Torimoto)
“Besides, Sayuri-neesan is the only family I have left.” (Aoyama)
“What about your parents…?” (Torimoto)
She shook her head lightly from side to side.
“What about you?” (Aoyama)
“My parents aren’t around anymore either. I don’t have any human friends, for that matter.” (Torimoto)
“A lonely one, are you? Are you just a loner? What do you find enjoyable in life?” (Aoyama)
“Whoa, that’s harsh.” (Torimoto)
If she were a man, I would have punched her in the nose for that.
“I travel because I get to meet all kinds of people. In passing, I also happened to be of service to a certain strange religious order.” (Torimoto)
“Traveling, huh…? That… sounds nice too.” (Aoyama)
“It’s really great. I feel that being able to experience new landscapes, food, animals, and plants enriches your mind. Meeting people, too.” (Torimoto)
At least, that was true of the trip my father had taken me on. It was an experience that expanded my previously narrow view of the world.
“I understand how you feel now. But unfortunately, I can’t leave here just yet.” (Torimoto)
“May I ask why?” (Aoyama)
“Of course. That being said, the reason is clear. It’s because of the conflict that I mentioned earlier. At my proposition, it may be possible for the three forces to form an alliance and take on the yakuza. It would be irresponsible for me to run away from here at this point.” (Torimoto)
“That…” (Aoyama)
“Don’t worry. After the war is over, I plan to leave. Regardless of whether Sayuri-san tries to get me to stay.” (Torimoto)
“…..!” (Aoyama)
“I’m a rootless wanderer. I don’t stay in one place for a long time.” (Torimoto)
Besides, I had somewhere else to return to.
“….I understand. To tell you the truth, it would be of great help to us if you were here during the war.” (Aoyama)
“Ah, but just so you know, I’ll still be demanding compensation for healing your wounds.” (Torimoto)
“It would’ve been preferable if you showed some sympathy here.” (Aoyama)
“You would prefer the sympathy of a man?” (Torimoto)
“Oh, buzz off.” (Aoyama)
At that moment, Aoyama suddenly smiled. Her gaze still looked like one that she would direct at a piece of worthless trash, but at least there was now a charming smile on her face.
But she must have noticed that I kept on staring at her face, as…
“…What is it? Why are you ogling me like that? I’ll poke your eyeballs out, you know?” (Aoyama)
Scary… It looks like she’ll seriously do it…

Then, Aoyama turned around and put her hand on the doorknob.
“…I think I understand why Sayuri-neesan trusts you so much now.” (Aoyama)
“That’s an honor.” (Torimoto)
“Don’t get carried away. In the future, I will never trust a man. Well then, please excuse me… It’s already quite late in the night.” (Aoyama)
After that, she left the room.
I sighed deeply, letting out the breath that I didn’t know I had been holding the entire time.
“The situation seems to be getting more and more complicated, isn’t it?” (Shiki)
“Yeah. I can’t believe there are people out there who want to make me the founder.” (Torimoto)
“This one sees bright prospects for those people.” (Shiki)
No good, no good. My Familiars would only endorse this kind of situation. After all, those guys admired and idolized me.
“Milord, may I have a word?” (Kaza)
At that moment, I received contact from Kaza, who was outside surveying the perimeter. I told him to continue speaking.
“There are a few people watching this place from a little distance away. Should I deal with them?” (Kaza)
They were probably from the Hosen Group. The fact that they were doing surveillance here meant that there was a very high chance that they would be attacking this place in the near future.
The church grounds were protected by a high outer wall, making it an ideal place for a siege. Rather than going out and fighting them, it might be more advantageous for our side, which was smaller in size, to undergo a siege.
However, they were likely still in the process of gathering their numbers. They had already lost a skirmish and therefore were probably preparing greater numbers to ensure victory this time around.
But regardless, it was better to have as much information as possible.
“Alright, Kaza. Get close to the people watching us and gather information. If necessary, interrogate them. You can be a bit rough if you need to.” (Torimoto)
“Understood. Please await the good news.” (Kaza)
For Kaza, something like this would be as easy as taking candy from a baby. That was still true even if they were armed. There was no way an ordinary human being could defeat an A-Rank monster.
To do that, they would need nukes or battleships. Well, there was no way the yakuza would be able to procure a battleship, and a nuke was just suicidal.

Their misfortune was having me as their enemy.

I’ll be making a lot of money off of you guys.
I chuckled at the poor yakuza as I laid back down on my bed and closed my eyes.
