Part 4[แก้ไข]
—Five days after that incident.
The location being at the Five Digit region of Little Garden, Outer Gate Number 26745, [Thousand Eyes] Number 88th Territory.
Outer Gate Number 26745 is one of the Outer Gates managed by the [Floor Master] Shiroyasha who lived a level above it.
And located within her sphere of influence was the territory of [Perseus] that was similarly affiliated under the flag of [Thousand Eyes]. However, currently the flags hung around the white palace of the [Perseus] territory was only that of a white base depicting a ‘Medusa’s head’. On the other hand, the flags with a red background depicting the Twin Goddess were not hung out.
This is because Shiroyasha had exposed the conflict between [Perseus] and Kuro Usagi and the others while making known the dishonorable incident. Hence [Perseus] had been ordered to put away all flags of [Thousand Eyes] indefinitely.
Standing at the balcony of the highest floor in the white washed palace while looking down at the lower floors, Laius murmured to his trusted aide who stood by him to await his orders:
“It’s been five days since that time and I thought that Kuro Usagi would be sure to find me to negotiate. In the end there’s not even a sign of it happening. It sure is unfortunate and I had thought that I would definitely be able to obtain the [Moon Rabbit] this time too.”
“But is it really okay like this? We of [Perseus] being able to stay at the territory located at the five digit Outer Gate is all thanks to [Thousand Eyes] that has acted as our support. Since there now comes the order issued for us to stash away the flags……”
“Ah~Hm, the worst possible result would be the order for us to move our Community’s territory down by a level I guess. Forget it, it’s nothing to worry about. Or should I say that it’s better like this? After all dad has already passed on and to go to the root of the problem, just depending on us to continue staying in the Outer Gates of the five digits is indeed quite troublesome right? Or are you willing to support this whole Community?”
The male trusted aide revealed a dejected look. Although Laius had said all that, but it wasn’t impossible if they really wanted to stay in the five digit Outer Gate because Laius possessed the strongest Gift that holds a power that Demon Lords needed to be careful around.
As long as Laius used his leadership to bring all the members of the Community together, they who were his subordinates would also be able to receive a twelfth of the reward be it joining as a [Host] or a Participant.
However, Laius had never shown that sort of motivation even once.
“But seriously, that rabbit’s really cute! Although she has that baby face, her voluptuous breasts and beautiful thighs are really sexy! Willing to sacrifice and contribute for others, strong-hearted, cute and a beauty that’s really sexy, it sure fits my type of taste! Originally I had wanted to take this chance to leave [Thousand Eyes] and use the rabbit as my substitute brand name but it would really be a waste to display her before the other people! If only I can get her on my bed to make her moan a few times for my ears to relish, I swear that I will never tire of it!”
“……Oh……”
The male trusted aide replied while giving a deep sigh. The only three topics that Laius would enthusiastically talk about were only women, money and enjoyments in food and drink. He was just similar to the personification of the meaning of Hedonism.
And it was especially worse during the last five days. Perhaps that Kuro Usagi really did catch his eye? He had spent both day and night talking about it while the documents of the Community had already piled up to form a small mountain-like stack in the office and Laius would not even take a look at them.
Even though it’s an emergency in the Community that was caused by him, he still intends to push his responsibilities to others to settle for him.
(Even if this goes on, we must not set a precedent by processing the documents for him…….As I thought, we can only wait for him to take initiative in processing the official documents?)
The male trusted aide gave a shake of his head forlornly. Just at that moment, a female voice sounded on the balcony that was supposed to have only the both of them.
“Sorry for the intrusion in the night to disturb you, Laius-sama.”
“WHO’S THAT?!”
The male trusted aide drew his sword as he shouted out, suddenly alert. And the person who lightly landed on the balcony was none other than Kuro Usagi of the [No Name].
Laius immediately pushed away his trusted aide to greet her happily:
“Woah! What brings you here so suddenly today?! You’ve finally decided to join us over here right?”
“……Kuro Usagi came regarding that matter for tomorrow we would be hosting a discussion between our Community representatives, may we ask you to spare some time to attend?”
Kuro Usagi had a worried expression as she relayed her message. In comparison, Laius was really overjoyed as he spread his arms.
“OKOK! If that vampire isn’t enough, I might be able to add some other conditions!”
“Laius-sama! The [Knight of Little Garden] is already in the final stages of the trade deal……”
The male trusted aide hurriedly stepped forth to protest but Laius only gave him a kick in the chest to cut him off.
Maintaining her pained look, Kuro Usagi had nodded once more before leaping off from the balcony to take her leave.
On the other hand, Laius had started to laugh and whoop as he spread his arms to happily spin in a circle.
“Hahaha, this is great! With this, there won’t be any more need to show adulation and shower flattery over our advertising medium of [Thousand Eyes]! Luck’s finally on my side!”
He showed no civility as he roared in laughter while looking at the skies, looking as if he had lost his mind.
His trusted aide could only give a heavier sigh as he watched his master spinning around continuously while laughing like a madman.
(But to think that Kuro Usagi would be willing to accept the negotiation is it really impossible for them to escape their bloodline that compels them to sacrifice and contribute?)
Although the severing from [Thousand Eyes] had been a big loss to them, if they could really obtain the [Highborn of Little Garden] in return, it would still be quite a good deal. As long as they could form a Community that had that ‘golden plated signboard’, they could even find the Evil spirit of Rakshasa of the North or even the Eudemons of the South to negotiate a Game of equal footing.
If they were to become an independent community, this might just be more beneficial in results.
Although Laius may be violent and lustful, but after using Kuro Usagi as a toy, it would at best last a month before he gets sick of his toy.
Normal women might not be able to last till then but strong hearted rabbits shouldn’t have such a problem right? As long as there’s still life in her, it would still be usable as a mascot no matter what the situation might be.
Maybe they could just completely teach her body until it became obedient to their commands.
The loyal male trusted aide poured another cup of wine into his master’s empty cup as he took another dissatisfied but forlorn glance at the mountain of documents on the table.
