〈Duty dictated that we gather intelligence of enemy’s war potential. We have to inspect the plans and equipment of Furutera Isshi and the homunculi. But, we as spies also carry another duty. You remember right?〉
To the whispers from the hooked-nosed man, the bucktoothed man nodded while holding his breath.
〈Of course. In the occupation of a spy returning alive is the first priority. It’s not permitted for the enemy to catch us, if by any chance we got caught, we shall end our lives before we could surrender any information.〉
After saying that, he continues to speak.
〈However, if no trouble arises, if the chance presents itself to give a decisive blow, we’re permitted to use exceptional judgment and act as we may see fit. In other words . . .〉
Satisfied, the hooked nosed man responded.
〈Regarding this infiltration, we can already see that the current enemy is nothing more than a foolish opponent. Nevertheless, if we bring back this intelligence, I think that the wise Duke-sama would still amass many troops and ascertain victory through battle. However, this battle is only to recover our lost territory and nothing else. The battle expenditure would only lead to making the taxes higher and causing the innocent people suffer.〉
Heavy taxation and poverty were what cause of the hooked-nosed and bucktoothed men to become members of the underworld.
For this reason, the hooked-nosed man can’t see any justice in the rebellion of Isshi and his girls.
In addition, it meant that hundreds or even thousands of people would starve, due to the conduct of one that they were completely unaware of.
That sort of indignation was born because the hooked nose concerned about the future policy.
〈This time, it rather unlikely that we would get caught in this situation. In the beginning, after taking the military intelligence and scouting out the enemy force’s equipment, I intend to withdraw. But, in the current situation our withdrawal would only cause people to cry unnecessarily.〉
While he passionately spoke those words he glanced towards the bucktooth man.
“It is as you say.” The bucktooth man sincerely agreed.
〈Tonight, will be a massacre. Even though we’ve snuck into the enemy base we have seen no sign of a patrol squad. It seems that they truly are idiots.Though I sympathize with those disturbed in the head, the world doesn’t allow this kind of indulgence to be permitted. Let us educate this sonuva bitch.〉
〈Hmm, then let’s go. I think that Furutera Isshi would most likely use Deanne-sama’s private room. We’ll get there first.
The two intruders were like the wind as they quickly and silently advanced through the corridor towards Isshi, the enemy ringleader’s location, and before long they arrived at Deanne’s former private room.
