Chapter 226 – Betrayal

“But this also means that this war will drag on. I don’t have any intention of staying involved with this matter forever.” (Torimoto)
If the war ended up taking longer, I might’ve been able to make more money as the arms dealer and the Restorer, but there were many other things I wanted to do.

I wanted to meet with new otherworlders, make new business deals, and have another go at clearing an advanced-rank dungeon. It might even be interesting to get out of Japan and have a look at the world and maybe see if I could establish a parhway to making even more money.

So I didn’t want to stay here for long.

If a [Copy Doll] was capable of completely replicating my abilities, it would be really nice to send multiple clones of me to different places to get the job done, but it didn’t have such convenient capabilities.

“What if I just say ‘screw it’ and set the entire jungle on fire…?”
But if I did that, I wouldn’t be able to get confirmation that I killed Hosen Touya. Maybe I should just kidnap him and get it over with? Like I kinda did with Nike.

After selling the weapons and getting money as compensation, I’d have a pretty good amount.

Right… I could ‘get in touch’ with Torakado Shiina and ask her to do a job for me, to kidnap Hosen Touya.

I suppose that would be a bit too convenient to the point of being suspicious.

“Master, Master! There’s trouble!” (Sol)
“Sol! Again?! What is it this time?” (Torimoto)
“Hosen Touya left the office and was surrounded by monsters!” (Sol)
“What?!” (Torimoto)
It seemed that Hosen Touya was frightened by his surroundings suddenly being transformed into a jungle, so he tried to escape with his subordinates.

Apparently, they were using guns to fight against the monsters coming at them, but they probably had limited ammunition and would eventually find themselves cornered.

I had given a [Camera Marker] to Sol in advance, so I decided to take out the monitor and see what was going on.

There was indeed a dense tropical rainforest, and about 10 men were fighting against monsters on the muddy ground.

It looked like some of them had already been killed by monsters.

Agh, damn it! Why couldn’t they just sit tight for a moment?! Couldn’t they see from the situation that they’d only be in danger if they made a move?!

At this point, it would be extremely troublesome if a monster ate their boss up.

“…There’s no helping it. Sol! As distasteful as it might seem, protect him for now.” (Torimoto)

This war would only reach a meaningful conclusion if Sayuri and the others captured their boss and ended him. Well, it already seemed like they were hardly in the condition for a war.

“As you command!” (Sol)
Sol flew at a breakneck speed undetectable by the average person and pierced through every monster, taking them all out in a single blow. Hosen and his subordinates seemed to have no idea what was happening.

In the blink of an eye, all of the monsters in the area were wiped out, and Hosen managed to successfully escape from danger.

“I-I don’t have any clue what’s goin’ on, but… I’m safe.” (Hosen)
The dumbfounded Hosen let out a sigh of relief. His subordinates also followed suit.

“A-Anyway, let’s get out of here, young master.”
A large man next to Hosen spoke. According to our investigations so far, his name was Akagiri.

I instructed Sol to escort Hosen out of there safely. I told her that she could ignore it if his subordinates were attacked by monsters.

The monsters kept on coming at them, and Sol kept on saving only Hosen. Before long, his subordinates surrounding him were dropping one after the other.

After about 3 hours, only Hosen and Akagiri were left.

“”

“Ohh! I can see the way out!” (Hosen)
Hosen was so happy to finally see something that looked like the exit, so he cried out in excitement and started sprinting straight towards it.

But the moment he dashed out of the shade of the jungle canopy and stepped into the light of the sun, his expression froze.

And that was because… just as he had exited the jungle, a gunshot rang out. Hosen realized that he had been shot in the back.

—BANG, BANG, BANG!

Three shots rang out in rapid succession, each one sending a spray of blood flying out of Hosen’s back.

Slowly, Hosen dropped to his knees and fell forward onto the ground. As he gasped for air, his expression distorted with shock and pain.

Behind the monitor, I stared at the scene with wide eyes. Even Sol hadn’t expected this in the slightest.

After all, the one who shot Hosen was none other than a subordinate under his direct control, the aide of the young master—Akagiri Shingo.

“M-Master! W-W-What should we do?!” (Sol)
Sol suddenly became panicky. I quickly provided instructions in response.

“For now, we wait and see!” (Torimoto)
In order to get a grasp of what was really happening, I told Sol to keep a careful eye on the situation.

“Gahh… What in… the…” (Hosen)
Hosen was confused as he lay there sprawled on the ground, blood gushing out of his mouth and body.

Akagiri slowly approached him from behind. Hosen caught sight of him with a gun raised in his direction and frowned, finally grasping the situation.

“Aka…giri… You… bastard… What are… you…!?” (Hosen)
“I had to act earlier than planned, but it’ll be fine. Here, no one else will see your end. It worked out in the end that all of our men are gone.” (Akagiri)
Akagiri squatted down and held his gun to Hosen’s head.

“You’re not lookin’ too good now, are ya, young master?” (Hosen)
“…What are… you planning…?” (Hosen)
“Well, to put it simply, a coup… Or rather, overthrowing the top. It’s a shame, young master. You can’t be so trusting of other people.” (Akagiri)
It seemed that Akagiri originally had plans to betray Hosen.
