...Ya bastards are the assailants, huh... That figures... Tch, ain't ya da ones from da list. Shia and Tio was it? Da other one is the lil' one, Yue... Indeed y'all's appearances are first rate. Oi, y'all's lives will be saved if ya surrender now, y'know? Don't tell me, ya think ya can return alive after putting ur hands on Flithof's headquart—!?" Swiiiish "UGYAAAA!!!"
Hansen, who began to speak while looking at Shia and Tio with lust, was coldly cut off by Shia, who fired the shotgun, since there was no need for discussion. The numerous iron balls blew off Hansen's right arm, which spun and crashed into the wall behind, while guy himself screamed and crouched.
Though the organization members who heard the commotion came running, Tio used fire magic to burn the stairs and they could only stand still because they lost the only way up. Furthermore, she used the scaled-down version of "Breath," casually mowing them down, and everything on seventh floor turned completely charred except Hansen's room. With that, there was an unobstructed view of the Flithof's headquarters. Tio fired Wind Blades and Fire Bullets, just like a machine gun, towards the organization members who could do nothing but vacantly look up at the upper floor. Because of the merciless attacks, the organization members tried to disperse and scattered about in escape... but only few survived.
While Tio handled the people outside, Shia shouldered Doryukken, approached the screaming and writhing Hansen, and pushed Doryukken to his abdomen. "Guwaa," he let out sounds of agony as he tried to move the sledgehammer away, but his right hand was useless against the super heavy Doryukken. The only thing Hansen could do was ungracefully pleaded for his life.
"P-Please. Spare me! You can take as much money as you like! I don't want to be involved with you anymore! That is wh— Gekk!?"
"Please don't speak without permission. You only have to answer my question, understand? If you don't, the weight will increase every second... so I recommend you answer everything before your organs burst."
"... Shia. Thou art Master's companion after all... Thy speech and behavior are the same."
Tio, who retorted from behind, was ignored, and Shia asked Hansen about Myuu. When she mentioned Myuu, Hansen showed a dumbfounded expression for a moment. But when she asked about a child from the Sea-dweller tribe, he frantically answered with an anguished expression because Doryukken getting heavier by the second. Apparently, she had been transported to the basement of a hall where the underground auction would occur this evening.
Hansen's subordinates, who probably heard the conversation between Shia's party and Myuu, were the ones who planned on kidnapping Shia. They probably thought that by kidnapping her, they could raise their position inside the organization since she was already in the organization's list to be kidnapped.
Shia touched the telepathy stone on her choker, activated it, and contacted Hajime.
"Hajime-san, Hajime-san. Can you hear me? It's me, Shia."
"...Shia. Yes, I can hear you. What's wrong?"
"I just got the information on Myuu-chan's whereabouts. Hajime-san is currently in Sightseeing Ward, right? Please go ahead because it's around there.
