Breakthrough with the Forbidden Master-Chapter 402: Exchange Conditions
“”””Th…… !?? The Black Sage””””
That cry came from everyone except Amicus and Norja, who didn’t really understand “the Six Supremacy”, and Shinobu, who knew the situation.
“Wh…w…what is going on, Big brother?!? Why, what is this, what does, huh!?”
Espie frantically grabbed my collar and shook me violently.
“Erm, why is Paripi alive…… And what’s more…… What’s more, he’s …… with Big brother.”
“B, Brother…… Speaking of the Black Sage…… if Hakuki is the strongest of the Six Supremacy, then the most diabolical Six Supremacy is said to be the Black Sage……
“H, his subordinate?! General Paripi is Earth Lagann’s—!?”
“Ah~…… Young man…… what manner of madness is this?”
I hadn’t told anyone about this, not even Espie and Slayer, who proudly told me about my past exploits, nor Larou’iph, formerly of the Demon King Army, nor the knowledgeable Mr. Chieftain.
So it was only natural that everyone would be surprised along with Koujiro and the others.
“Onii-san, ‘what the hell’ doesn’t begin to cover it! Him being alive is shocking enough… but why?”
“Wh, what… what am I hearing? One of the legendary Six Supremacy still lives, and he’s the subordinate of a man barely older than Shinobu?”
“…Hmm, Shinobu… you really fell for an unbelievable man, didn’t you?”
Koujiro and the others seemed tired and worn out from all the surprises, but they still had the same reactions and expressions as before.
Well, there was no way they could get used to all these surprises… and the impact of this bombshell was too much.
“I am yet to comprehend in full, but does Sir Earth truly count such a mighty vassal among his followers? As expected, Sir Earth is beyond wondrous…”
“Grrrrruru, Konkon”
Everyone was flustered by this, except for Amicus, who barely understood the situation, and Norja, who was totally feral.
Then again, it would be an understatement to say that Paripi had a bad reputation.
[Oh, you’re a super busty, sexy fairy. Listen, I’ve got some lucrative gigs, you can earn a ton of money by just enduring a little embarrassment. How about it? There’s Oppai Pub where you just jiggle those beauties, or my Magical Mirror Carriage series—a personal invention that’s wildly popular―――.]
“”””DON’T TALK TO AMICUS LIKE THAT! I’LL BEAT YOU UP!!!””””
[Huh? So mean~. Where’s the trust? And even you, Larou’iph? You’ll beat me up?]
“Ah, n, no, um, well, I, I just…”
[Hihahaha, I guess that can’t be helped. Well, trust and credibility are built up through accumulating experience, so I’ll have to work hard to prove myself from now on. Yeah, I’ll do my best ♪.]
That’s why Espie, Slayer, Larou’iph and I immediately shouted that we absolutely couldn’t let the innocent Amicus get involved.
[Hihahaha, well, that’s how it is, Espie dear and Koujiro. We’ve got a lot of history, but I’m way past holding grudges against the Seven Heroes. That’s old news.]
“Don’t joke around…… Then why come to us…? No, more importantly—why Onii-san?”
[Because it sounds fun ♪.]
“F, fun?”
On the other hand, Paripi was just laughing, playing up his responses to our shock, making a mockery of us.
Well, whatever he does, I don’t think he’ll earn any trust and credibility……
“Haa… jeez, this guy…….”
“…… Big brother…… Why ……?”
“Ah, well… actually… well, well, a lot of things happened… well…….”
Well, to explain it all……
A story from when I was in Cacretale. Cacretale was actually the land ruled by Jamdi’el, but she wasn’t a tyrant, she was adored by the people. Not only Jamdi’el, there was also a goddess named Kron, who was born from the genes of the Great Demon King Tre’ainar or something, but suddenly the Heavenly Realm attacked and took Jamdi’el with them.
Under Kron’s command, the residents of Cacretale and I joined forces to invade the Heavenly Realm, engaging in a massive battle with the Seraph Tribe.
At that time, Paripi, who had been operating secretly in the Heavenly Realm, appeared.
Then I defeated Paripi……
“…Hmm… How should I put this…….”
If I were to explain it from the beginning, it would take a long time.
To be honest, we don’t have much time right now to explain it all……
[Hihaha, it’s simple. I was utterly defeated by the boss, so I have no choice but to follow this guy~~]
No, no, we were the ones who got completely defeated! I couldn’t have won without the strategy that Tre’ainar came up with.
[Well, I’m sure ‘someone’ came up with a master plan, but even without that, I had no choice but to bow my head in defeat at the boss’s overwhelming power, panay~]
“B, Big brother… i, is that true?”
“…Well, it’s not surprising considering that Brother did reach the level where he could defeat a Six Supremacy, but… even…… Even the Black Sage?”
“My goodness…… you…… please don’t casually drop achievements that even we were unaware of, such a legendary one at that…… it’s bad for the heart.”
“…Hold, truly. I am more stricken by the fact that Paripi still draws breath… but… huh? If we count aright … aside from Gouda, are all the Six Supremacy not still living………?”
Everyone was surprised, even Larou’iph, who said, “We were unaware “. But Espie and Slayer didn’t seem amused, as they glared at me with strangely fierce eyes.
To be honest, there are other things I haven’t told those two yet…… or rather, there’s something I really need to tell them.
But now was not the time to talk in detail. I need to get back on topic.
And somehow it seemed that Paripi understood this too.
[Well, we’re short on time right now…… so let’s save the juicy details for later. I’ll even throw a big reveal party when I explain everything.]
“D, don’t say unnecessary things! Anyway, let’s get back on topic! Um… you said you would investigate what happened to Uncle Ben and things like that……”
[Yeah. They’re probably on that continent… or at least haven’t gone that far, so Boss, with my power, it’ll be a breeze Panay ♪. By the way, I also know someone from Hakuki’s old Demon Heaven Wrath(Kitenretsu)Great Hundred(Daihyakka) squad who’s still alive. I’ll fill you in on that too~]
It’ll be a breeze, huh?
[You really think I’d lose to some greenhorn like Shitnei, panay?]
To be honest, I’d rather not rely on this guy’s help, and if possible, I don’t want to have anything to do with him for the rest of my life.
But, this guy might have found out a lot about me, and more than anything, this was really no time to hesitate.
Then……
[But, I do have one condition. It’s nothing big.]
“Ah?”
At that moment, Paripi added one last thing.
“Condition? Nothing big? I have a really bad feeling about this……”
[Not at all. The condition I’ll give you is simple. See, after eavesdropping earlier…… this magic crystal…… you’re probably sick of it, right?]
“Ngh……”
I wondered what he was talking about, but it turned out to be about the magic crystal I was currently using.
Certainly, now that I knew he’d been eavesdropping, I was thinking of smashing it up and throwing it away.
But……
[You see, I’ve made special modifications to that magic crystal… so basically it’s irreplaceable. So… don’t throw it away, just give it back… that’s my condition.]
“What?”
[See? Easy. My assistant will swing by to pick it up later. Okay?]
At first I had a really bad feeling about it, but I thought it wouldn’t be a problem, so I agreed without giving it too much thought.
So if this guy was going to do the job…..
