Playing the Perfect Fox-Eyed Villain Chapter 194

Episode 194. It's a misunderstanding. (1)

A man with crossed eyes.

The man was standing there smiling with the door open.

As if he already knew that this was the gathering place for the 'baragi'.

And as if he knew there was an important meeting today.

Yulian, smiling as if it was just natural, glanced around the room with her arms crossed as if she was mocking all the 'baragi' gathered there.

“……You bastard.”

Sebion, the agent of the blacksmith, tried to intimidate him by swearing, but his expression did not change.

However, it seems like he is thinking about it carefully.

Given his skill, he would have definitely heard what was being said internally.

and.

The return of the Sword Master system.

If you've heard that, then the actions of the 'Laughing Squad' aiming for the neck of 'Black Saint' Haydn Reich are quite predictable.

Right here.

Subdue all the 'Baragi' and make it so that there is no place for the returning Black Sword to stand.

Or, it can make them burn with revenge and turn on you.

It's not that they lack skill, but the executioners' skill is not low either.

No, it would be comparable to their idol, the Sword Saint.

It shouldn't be that difficult to subdue them.

The 'Baragi' who had thought that far felt their bodies stiffen.

In that unwavering smile.

Even though he did nothing, the spirits of the 'Baragi' were subdued by his still appearance, and cold sweat ran down their backs as if they were a bomb that could explode at any moment.

“Huh huh…….”

In the midst of such fear, the 'Laughing Squad' quietly laughed.

***

It was good that he intentionally made noises to get people to come out. I didn't like waiting in the first place.

That was the way it was, until the closed door opened and a very angry man came out.

'No, why is everyone so scared?'

I still can't understand this part.

The contemptuous gaze or the look of contempt and the atmosphere that seems to be looking at an insect are familiar.

Because it's 'Yurien'.

Because they hate Yulian.

Up to that point, it was within the 'category of understanding', but I didn't know that just meeting someone would create such a negative atmosphere.

“Surely you were listening to everything!?”

Even the guy who seemed to be the prosecutor showed his displeasure by suddenly asking, "Were you listening?"

What should I say about that?

It's annoying.

In times like these, I've found that it's better to smile.

I won't spit on a smiling face.

Sigh.

I smiled at the 'baragi' who spoke in a urging tone.

“Hey, this kid!”

Contrary to expectations, the situation actually got worse.

'Oh, I blinked.'

I should have thought about this damn table.

I felt like I was smiling for nothing.

An angry man. His name is probably Sebion Lennox.

He is remembered as a member of the Dauntless Knights and the younger brother of their leader, Theo Lennox.

'Hmm… … .'

Looking at Sebion like that, I was reminded of Theo Lennox, who I worked with in 'Finger Breakers'.

A guy who leads the knights with a hearty laugh.

I heard that he sacrificed his own body to protect the members who were poisoned by the 'puppet poison'.

'This is a completely different feeling from my brother.'

While I was thinking to myself, I had a strange feeling.

Obviously, the thoughts in the brain do not reflect the <formal speech> character, so why was it arbitrarily replaced with formal speech?

"……what?"

Oh, that's it.

I thought I was talking to myself, but it looks like I actually said it out loud.

Sebion was glaring at me with angry eyes.

Brother, two eyes that were tightly knit with a strong inferiority complex towards Theo Lennox.

I was amazed at the fact that my careless words had touched the other person's weak point.

'Something Yurian would do!'

Now, it has become natural, like breathing.

“What did you just say? Can you say it again?”

Iron griddle.

Sebion got up from his seat and slowly walked towards me.

Then, the sound of the sword he was carrying hitting the desk rang out.

'In other words, are you saying you're going to draw your sword?'

Oh my, this is so scary. What should I do?

“Mr. Sebion.”

Linne's voice broke through the tense atmosphere.

“Just calm down. There are other things more important than that.”

As she was also a member of 'Baragi', it was not strange for her to be here.

However, thanks to Linne's intervention, Sebion's tense gaze softened a little.

“……Phew.”

Sebion let out a sigh, collected his thoughts, and opened his mouth again.

“Yurien, have you been eavesdropping on our conversation so far?”

The topic returned again to 'Did Yurian overhear the conversation?'

Thanks to Linne changing the subject, Sebion's hostility had lessened a bit, but the 'Baragi's' disapproving gaze still remained.

“Haha, this is it……, this is difficult.”

I shrugged.

Actually, the reason I came here was not to be questioned, but to find out how much the 'Baragi' know about the 'Yeongmyeonghoe'.

'I don't know what they were talking about inside, though.'

I don't mind being accused of something a little bit, so I want to get to the point quickly.

“Is that so?”

Woot woot woot──!

As soon as I said yes, the 'Baragi' who were meeting in the room all stood up from their seats.

Those who are ready for battle.

Some even looked at me and clearly thought of the color 'fear'.

'Why are you doing this?'

Looking at that sight, one cannot help but have doubts.

“Everyone… calm down.”

Among the 'Baragi', the only one who is sitting is Linne.

“Hey, are you serious?”

“If that guy came here after hearing that the Sword Master was returning to the system, then of course he had something to do!”

Even with Linnaeus' mediation, there was no sign of improvement.

From what you're saying now, it seems like the 'Baragi' are also aware that Geumseong is temporarily returning to the system.

Indeed, Theo Lennox, the leader of the Dauntless Knights, is also a member of the Baragi, so he may have passed the news on to his younger brother.

'What does that have to do with me?'

Does this current overreaction have anything to do with the 'return of the black dragon'?

After thinking about it for a bit, I'm starting to get the hang of it.

'……hmm.'

Yurian wants to kill 'Black Star'.

Although, after many meetings and conversations, that image has been diluted for people like Linne and Zahat, it is still established in the world as that image.

'… … I shouldn't have said I heard that.'

shit.

I know what kind of secret conversation they had, but I didn't exactly 'overhear' them here, right?

'I came to hear how much you know about the Dawn Society!'

First, let's calm down the 'baragi' as much as possible.

“I don’t understand why you are so scared of the Master returning to the system.”

“Are you scared?”

“We can kill you right now!”

“Then why don’t you move?”

As I shrugged and spoke, Linne covered her face with her hands.

Here we go again.

That was the nuance, but for now I decided to proceed my way.

Let's talk about it in terms of introduction, development, turn, and conclusion.

Ki (起)

I impress upon the 'baragi' that I am free.

“The reason is simple.”

Seung (承)

After that, I make sure to imprint the 'gap'. Even if it's not actually the case, I show my confidence.

“It is because you all subconsciously recognize that even if you all combine your strength, you will not be able to inflict even a single wound on me.”

Okay, you're talking well.

With all this confidence, why was I trying to solve this with words rather than combat?

This part is an important link in revealing that there was another story to be told, one that was not related to 'Blackness'.

Next is Jeon (轉)

“Don’t make me laugh, you shameless bastard!”

“We will finish what the Black Star was unable to finish!”

The plot twist I had expected turned into a battle.

'Baragi', who is threatening to draw his sword at any moment.

'ha.'

Looking at them, I sighed inwardly.

Just… just throw it away once?

“Hmm. Why is it so noisy!”

At that moment, the giant opened the inner door of the room and revealed himself.

The tone of voice that almost sounds like a scolding is the same voice that we heard a lot in 'Finger Breaking' before.

"……older brother."

Theo, the commander of the Indomitable Knights.

“Sebion! Why are you making such a fuss!”

“Yurien has appeared.”

“What? Yurian!?”

After hearing his younger brother Sebion's words, Theo turned his gaze towards the entrance.

His body was covered in bandages from the injuries he sustained during the 'Finger Breaking', but he didn't show any sign of pain.

“Nice to meet you, Yulian!”

I smiled back at Theo, who was greeting me.

“But what does Yurian’s appearance have to do with this commotion, Sebion?”

“……Brother Theo.”

Sebion, who heard Theo's words, seemed to have a lot to say, but he kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

“Sir Theo is right. As I said before, how about everyone calm down?”

“Linne, you too……?”

“You know very well what kind of relationship there is between Kensung and Yurian!”

“The only master I know is Lord Haydn Reich, who is a member of the Adratan Empire.”

Her speech was just as broken as ever.

Since she, the disciple of the Black Sword, had told them to calm down, the 'Baragi' were no longer in a position to argue.

***

After the commotion died down, only Sebion, Theo, and Linne were left in the room.

'It looks like Sebion still doesn't trust Sir Yurian.'

Despite Theo and his own persuasion, Sebion's gaze toward Yurian was still not kind.

However, I didn't think of drawing my sword like I did before. Perhaps it was because my sharp emotions had calmed down, but also because my older brother, Theo, was there.

“So, you’re saying that you came here not to eavesdrop on the conversation, but because you wanted to cooperate with the ‘Baragi’!”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Theo, who had been talking to Yurian, briefly summarized the story and relayed it to everyone.

“Cooperate with us?”

Naturally, it was Sebion who reacted sensitively to Yurian's 'proposal for cooperation'.

“Yes, isn’t the reason why His Majesty is returning to the system because of the cooperation between the Holy Nation and the Empire for the investigation of the Dawn Society?”

“Yeah, okay!”

“I have information to pass on to you about that Dawning Society.”

“……How can I trust you?”

“If it’s information from the Dawn Society that Sir Yurian passes on, then we can trust it.”

This time, Sebion clicked his tongue as he turned his back on the blunt Sebion and agreed with Yurian's words.

I don't know about anything else, but Yurian is burning with anger towards the 'Yeomyeonghoe'.

Even if you don't know the exact reason, you can trust information from your enemy.

“Do you know that there are ranks in the Yeomyeonghoe?”

"yes."

“Then the story will be easy.”

Yulian smiled.

Unlike before, it was a creepy laugh, like a snake flicking its tongue.

“I have secured a list of the Bishops of the Dawn Society.”
