The Organization Collapsed on My First Day of Infiltration Episode 203
What Happened in Garden (7)
“I’ll do anything that’s within my capabilities.”
“Within your capabilities….”
Ziel is someone who operates by principles and rules.
So the given conditions are more important than anything else.
‘Something that Head of Deshaf Family Remil can do.’
“Then may I tell you when it’s time to visit the family?”
“By all means.”
Remil smiled brightly.
He felt a strange uneasiness, but figured how great could the request possibly be.
‘A sword? A spear? A shield?’
When he thought about it, this person was his benefactor.
Even if it wasn’t 10 million cel but 100 million cel, it wouldn’t be too much.
Of course, he didn’t have that kind of money, but if needed, he would borrow to pay it.
Because his one and only son in the world had returned.
Meanwhile, Ziel had already thought it through.
‘Gourmet dining.’
The purpose of coming to this Western Region!
The goal was to taste as many foods as deliciously as possible!
So he had decided.
To request gourmet dining.
However, he put it on hold for a moment since he didn’t know what menu to mention.
But he did give a warning in advance.
“Ah, I hope the ingredient storage will be well-stocked.”
“Excuse me?”
“A lot. As much as possible.”
“Uh….”
Remil wondered why he was suddenly talking about another family’s ingredient storage, but nodded as if entranced.
‘Ah.’
Meanwhile, Gilbert suddenly remembered a fact he had forgotten.
A story about the Deshaf Family that he had heard in passing.
‘Didn’t they say it was a child obtained after almost 20 years?’
Remil Desharp had a face that looked quite aged.
Considering the lives of nobles who married relatively early, this was truly a precious child obtained at a late age.
And it was his only child at that.
He had lost all his children to a plague that had briefly swept through.
’10 million cel makes sense now.’
It was truly a situation where even giving billions wouldn’t be too much.
Gilbert, who had wondered if there might be some conspiracy behind the huge sum of 10 million cel, felt ashamed.
“And Kyle Deshaf needs to rest for several days.”
“Yes, since he went through such an ordeal, physically too….”
“The mental impact will be greater. Just watch carefully to see if any side effects from the brainwashing appear.”
“…Brainwashing?”
This was content he hadn’t heard in the telegram.
He still didn’t know who the culprit was.
The message only contained instructions to come quickly to the Guild Hall since his son had been found.
“Yes. This city’s mayor kidnapped children and brainwashed them.”
“…!”
Remil couldn’t speak for a while due to the shocking truth!
“The mayor… So Mayor Alglen… kidnapped children and… brainwashed them….”
“It seems strange that the culprit is the mayor. Everyone had the same reaction.”
Ziel was still tilting his head in puzzlement.
To Ziel, it just meant they caught the culprit and it happened to be the mayor.
But to other people, especially Remil, it had a completely different meaning.
“How could that person… Just the day before yesterday I met him and he got angry saying he would definitely catch the culprit….”
Apart from the absurd fact that the mayor was the culprit, Alglen had actively cooperated with Remil.
He was also the person who had been jumping up and down saying he would tear the culprit limb from limb when caught.
But that person was the culprit?
“Really… is it really true, Teacher?”
“Yes. You can ask the Guild Hall employee for evidence or go to City Hall to see for yourself.”
One side was calm, while the other still seemed to be denying reality.
“….”
It wasn’t just shock.
Remil was also feeling a sense of betrayal.
While others felt like ‘how could the city’s mayor do such a thing,’ what Remil felt was a more direct sense of betrayal!
“Why on earth….”
“He was trying to turn them into assassins.”
Shock upon shock.
He felt like he was getting dizzy.
“Boss, you’re layering too many shocks….”
“It’s a fact he’ll learn soon anyway.”
“That’s true though….”
In any case, Ziel had said everything he needed to say.
“The mayor, where is the mayor….”
“You can ask the Guild Hall employee.”
“Ah, I understand.”
Then Remil staggered.
He was getting dizzy from receiving big shocks one after another.
But just before collapsing.
“You don’t look well.”
Ziel lightly caught and supported Remil.
“Ah, I have a chronic condition….”
“I see.”
Before he knew it, Ziel had activated the Polar Night Breathing Technique to quickly observe Remil’s body.
“It’s your lungs.”
“How did you know?”
“I just know.”
“….”
“I knew from the moment I first saw you.”
Even though he had rushed here urgently, his breathing was strange when it should have stabilized over time.
He could also hear what sounded like air leaking.
And when he was gasping for breath, the degree of his upper body swelling and the changes in his expression.
While it was natural for chronic conditions to develop with age, Remil’s seemed severe.
“Starting today, get some roadside flowers, crush them, and mix them well with water to drink. You need to take two flowers at a time.”
“Are, are you a doctor?”
“I’m a teacher.”
“….”
“I know more about medicinal herbs and flowers than doctors do.”
Because he’s an assassin.
Incidentally, he knew even more about poisonous herbs.
“If you take it for about 10 days, your breathing will become much easier. Then stop taking it for 2 days to remove the toxicity, and repeat taking it for another 10 days.”
“Ah, I understand.”
Remil nodded as if entranced.
If he hadn’t heard the story about Ziel, he wouldn’t have believed it.
‘Roadside flowers.’
Whatever it was, it seemed like he should try eating it, considering it as being deceived.
“Um, I heard earlier, but are you really an academy teacher?”
Then Kail asked with sparkling eyes.
“Yes. I’m really an academy instructor.”
“Then can I learn from you later when I enter the academy?”
“Do you want to learn from me?”
“Yes! You’re an incredible expert, right? You saved me!”
“No.”
“What? I’m not?”
“I’m an incredible expert beyond imagination.”
“Wow!”
Ziel asked.
“How old are you?”
“I’m 10 years old! I’ll turn 11 this year!”
“Calculating it, by then I’ll be in charge of 6th years, not 1st years.”
“Ah…”
“If you want to learn from me, enter one year late.”
“I will!”
“Train in swordsmanship too.”
“I will!”
“Your body is very flexible and well-balanced. Find and learn suitable swordsmanship.”
Remil asked with a pleased expression.
“Does Kail have talent?”
“Yes. He has the talent of an assassin.”
“A-a-an assassin?”
“That’s why he was kidnapped.”
“…!”
It seemed like Remil’s chronic illness would flare up again.
“Boss, please…”
“Knowing one’s talent is important, Gilbert.”
Ziel continued speaking regardless of what Gilbert said.
“But that doesn’t mean he needs to become an assassin.”
“O-of course…”
Ziel’s words should always be heard to the end.
“Having the qualities to become an assassin means it’s also advantageous when learning swordsmanship, Family Head Remil Desharp.”
“…Ah!”
“I hope you educate him in ways that make good use of his flexible and well-balanced body.”
“I understand, Teacher Ziel. Thank you.”
Remil probably didn’t know exactly about Kail’s physique either.
‘I should find a swordsmanship instructor as soon as I return.’
10 years old is a bit late, but it’s not an age where he can’t start.
“But how did you know that my son’s body is balanced and flexible?”
“I can tell by looking.”
“Ah, as expected of a skilled teacher…”
“It’s because it’s me who knows.”
“Ah.”
Why was it?
It didn’t feel arrogant.
‘This must be the mysterious part that Family Head Daren mentioned.’
Perhaps it was because he gained so much from just exchanging a few words.
He had even rescued his kidnapped son and was accurately pinpointing his talent.
“I will definitely send Kail to Edelwein Academy. I was originally thinking of sending him to Telvir Academy, but I’ve changed my mind.”
“Yes. I will teach him then.”
“Thank you, Teacher. Please be sure to visit when your schedule in the Western Region is finished. If that’s too difficult, I’ll come to the Capital.”
“I’ll write a letter before visiting, then.”
With this, the strange incident that occurred in Garden was concluded.
It turned out the kidnapper was the mayor, and the bounty of 10 million sel wasn’t strange after all when you thought about it.
Gilbert muttered while watching the backs of Remil walking with Kail.
“What will happen to the mayor?”
“Under Imperial law, kidnapping is a serious crime. It says the maximum punishment is death.”
“Hmm. Since he made an enemy of the Deshaf Family… it’ll be hard for him to live in the Western Region at least. Of course, he’ll have to stay in prison for a long time.”
Ziel wasn’t particularly curious.
What mattered was the fact that he had obtained the huge sum of 10 million sel.
“For me, 2 million sel minus taxes… wow, it’s still a huge amount of money. What should I do with this?”
“Buy a bed.”
“Then I should start with renovations when we return to the dormitory! And go to Mortis Boutique too!”
Gilbert was full of dreams!
“What about you, Boss?”
“I’ll think after receiving the money. I have something to do now.”
“Ah. Right.”
It was time to leave the Guild Hall.
The two headed to the alley where they had laid down those two guys earlier.
“They’re safe.”
“Mm.”
The previous fight came to mind again.
They were definitely strong guys.
Though they were nothing in front of Boss.
That made him even more curious about Boss’s identity.
To make such guys unconscious without moving a muscle until now!
“Set up alarm traps nearby, Gilbert.”
“Yes, Boss.”
After completing all preparations, Ziel finally woke the two up.
Of course, they just woke up.
They couldn’t move their bodies.
‘Just like me.’
The day he first met Boss.
Exactly that state where nothing could move except his mouth!
“From now on, answer what I ask.”
One of the men snorted at Ziel’s question.
“Do you think we’ll talk?”
“I’ll make you talk.”
Stab.
“Grrgh.”
Gilbert turned his head away at that terrible sight.
“From now on, I’ll gag your mouth again and pull out your fingernails and toenails one by one. However, I’ll let you move your jaw. If you feel like answering, move your jaw.”
“Wait… mmph.”
Ziel, who mentioned that horrific act in a calm, monotone voice, did exactly as he said—gagged the mouth, freed the jaw, and then—
“…! …!”
Started.
And before he could even pull out the third one, the jaw was moving frantically.
‘As expected of Boss!’
Ziel freed his mouth again.
“Had a change of heart?”
“I, I’ll talk.”
Indeed, nothing stands before pain.
Formal speech automatically came out.
Unless he was the type who couldn’t feel pain.
No, wait.
‘Boss would probably make even those types feel pain, right?’
Anyway, the information obtained after losing fingernails and toenails was as follows.
“I’ve never heard of it before, Black Spirit Order? Boss, have you heard of it?”
“Haven’t heard of it.”
Black Spirit Order.
These two belonged to that place.
Their purpose was to absorb the know-how and power of ‘Black Sky’ after its destruction and create a new assassination group.
“But why Black Spirit Order?”
“The, the Young Master heard the legend of the Dark Ghost in the capital… and came up with the name from that inspiration.”
“…”
“And the Young Master also likes specters…”
Gilbert looked at Ziel.
For some reason, Ziel had a proud expression.
‘Why do these kinds of follower groups keep appearing, Boss.’
“When was this Black Spirit Order created?”
“Two months ago…”
“…”
“So it was a newly formed group.”
It felt like the steam was completely deflated.
“They don’t seem very strong either.”
At those words, one of them got fired up.
“Our Young Master is different! He’s an incredible person!”
“Is that so? I’ll see for myself then. Where is he?”
“Th, that’s…”
While Ziel gagged both of them again, Gilbert fell into thought for a moment.
‘Normally you wouldn’t think of creating an assassination group… The Black Spirit Order group probably isn’t that big, and this Young Master guy must be someone with some money and high status?’
Then Ziel delivered some slightly disappointing news.
“It seems there’s a prohibition spell. They won’t talk about the Young Master.”
“A prohibition spell?”
“It’s the assassins’ method. There’s making it completely impossible to speak, and there’s causing pain or death just from attempting to speak. It seems like the former. They probably saw some materials from Black Sky and applied it.”
“Can’t that be undone?”
“If it’s a basic level, it can be undone, but if it’s at the level applied after seeing Black Sky’s materials, only the person who cast it can undo it.”
“That’s terrifying.”
“It’s not like there’s no method.”
“What is it?”
“I don’t want to say.”
“…”
Ziel had been under one too.
But Ziel was the only one who undid it himself.
Along with the brainwashing.
“Will they interfere with our work?”
“I don’t know. But if they interfere, I’ll deal with them.”
Ziel had no intention of seeking them out.
“Wouldn’t it be better to deal with them in advance?”
“They don’t seem very strong, so I’m not worried.”
Boss who won’t even bother with them for an unusual reason!
“These two are quite strong though…”
“That’s by your standards, Gilbert.”
“Ah.”
Why is it?
Why doesn’t it look like arrogance and instead makes me nod?
‘As expected of Boss!’
All the information that could be extracted had been obtained.
Ziel gagged both of them again.
“Now we leave this place. We need to move to the next location.”
“Yes, understood. But what about these guys?”
“We leave them.”
Of course, he didn’t forget the cleanup.
Can’t leave any future troubles.
Thwack!
The two fell unconscious.
Though he hit them a bit hard.
“Did you erase their memories again this time?”
“Erased and scrambled them. All their memories would have become a mess.”
“How exactly do you do it? It’s really amazing.”
“I don’t want to tell you.”
“Ah.”
And so the two left the city.
For house visits.
