Chapter 483.2: Prison Island ⑦ |
I close my eyes and rub the corners of my eyes for a moment, then look at the giant man and say.
“Ahhh, it’s you. I remember you, I remember you, I was just kidding. How have you been since then?” (Cry)
“Guh………… How I have been, since then, you ask!?” (?)
Do you think I can get away with it?
Being imprisoned on the Prison Island means that he must be at least a very bad person. Jack’s face twitches too. But look, it wasn’t me who did it, it was Lucia……
The giant man is looking down at me from right up close. The sense of intimidation is overwhelming.
“Don’t mess with me. Because of you, my men have been stuck as frogs ever since. How are you going to make it up to us?” (Geoffrey)
Well, even if you say that…… I look at Jack. I don’t have an eye for judging a warrior’s power level, but…… Somehow, this guy seems stronger than Jack.
However, it doesn’t seem like he is going to attack immediately. What a rare type. I wonder how he wants me to make it up…… If you want me to do a Dogeza, I will do it tho’.
“I will have you spit it out――How do you turn those frogs back to normal. If you tell me honestly, this time only I will let it slide.” (Geoffrey)
“Hah? You bastard seems to have some skills, but do you really think you can beat 《Infinite Variety-san (Senpen Banka-san)》―― ?” (Jack)
“Eh? Is that all you want? I don’t mind telling you that tho’.” (Cry)
“What!?” (Jack)
Actually, I cannot believe they managed to stay transformed as frogs this long…… Lucia is really amazing.
I don’t know who this person is, but fortunately, I remember how to fix it. It is because it made quite an impact.
I raise my index finger to the giant man looking down at me and say.
“You just have to kill them to return them back to normal, you know. I don’t really get the logic behind it, tho’.” (Cry)
“!? Kill them…… You say?” (Geoffrey)
Well, that’s how he will take it as expected. But no matter what anyone says, that’s the only way I know to turn the frog back to normal. Lucia explained the logic behind it, but I have forgotten what she said.
“Hh…… 《Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka)》, I, of all people, will not fall for such a ridiculous lie――” (Geoffrey)
“No, it is not a lie, tho’…………” (Cry)
If you actually tried to kill one, you would see right away that what I am saying is true…… But well, realistically, you cannot really try that out, can you?
Jack grins at the man whose forehead is bulging with veins that looked like they are about to burst, and confidently says.
“Oh, cut it out, Barrel’s leader. Do you really think you can beat a man that even 《Absolute Ice (Zekkori)》 can’t get close to? Hah?” (Jack)
“Hh……………………” (Geoffrey)
The giant man slams his fist against the wall with all his might. A heavy, reverberating sound. A small crack appear in the metal walls.
To even slightly scratch a metal wall――If it were me, I would definitely hurt my hand. The man Jack called Barrel’s leader glares at me with savage eyes that look as if they are about to devour me, then, he squares his shoulders and disappears down the corridor. The men who claimed to be the Dontan family also flee in a hurry, looking flustered.
I really angered him, but it seems I managed to get away with it. That’s a relief.
“That guy, do you know him?” (Cry)
“That’s the guy who was with 《Absolute Ice (Zekkori)》 when she attacked us last night! According to Grand, he’s the leader of a notorious bandit group called the Barrel Bandit Group. You really don’t know who he is!?” (Jack)
“Hmm…… Doesn’t ring a bell.” (Cry)
You see, a lot of bad guys are often giant guys.
To begin with, we have fought countless bandit groups before. In fact, we have fought so many that the number of incident caused by Zebrudia’s bandits has actually gone down. I cannot possibly remember every single one of them, and besides, Luke and the others are probably fighting in places I don’t even know about.
“………… Seems like there’s nothing we can do about it. Rather, 《Infinite Variety-san (Senpen Banka-san)》, you’ve made far too many enemies. I was hoping we could somehow bring them over from under “Snake’s (Hebi)” or Fox’s (Kitsune)” control――” (Jack)
“Even if you say that…… I have no intention of being hostile or anything, you know.” (Cry)
Rather, what do you mean by bringing them in? I just want to get out of here as soon as possible, you know?
Jack continues with a subtle expression.
“If we can just somehow get Barrel on our side――Could you tell him how to turn the frogs back into human? Last night’s incident showed him just how powerful 《Infinite Variety-san (Senpen Banka-san)》 is, and the more people we can use, the closer we will be from escaping. If Barrel joins us, more people will surely join us too. Don’t you think?” (Jack)
No, no, no…… There are so many things to point out that I don’t even know where to begin.
Needless to say, that idea has nothing but trouble.
The goals, the means, everything about it is completely designed to be unsuitable for me. Why do I have to bring them over from “Snake (Hebi)” or “Fox (Kitsune)” to be under my wings?
Besides, I am sorry to say, but I am just a visitor. I should be able to get out without having to break out, and even if I could break out, I wouldn’t do it. It is just going to cause misunderstandings.
In the first place, even though I was only telling the truth to that Barrel? guy’s question, he didn’t seem to believe me. Do my words really sound that insincere……
For now, agreeing with what Jack said is a bad idea. But not agreeing with him is also a bad idea. It won’t be long now. It won’t be long before Gin-san comes back.
“………… I understand your point of view. Let’s take some time to leisurely think about it.” (Cry)
“Hh………… Yes.” (Jack)
Jack clenches his teeth and speak. However, his eyes show no sign of buying a word of what I said. I look around and I can see criminals glaring at me from a distance. For the first time in a while, I feel like I’m going to puke.
Gin-san, if you don’t let me out soon, I will become the figurehead of a prison break you know.
