Episode 193. I won't be friends with you. (2)
It's a fu*king mess.
I bit my lip as I gradually noticed that the royal family was focusing on the 'Yeongmyeonghoe'.
'fu*k.'
It would be nice if it came after 'Tennellon' died.
And it just so happens to be the Black Star.
I was so dizzy that my head started hurting.
Who was the one who originally disbanded the 'Dawn Society'? It was none other than Geomseong.
The news that the game's protagonist was returning to destroy the 'Dawn Society' I was a member of was like a death sentence.
'But it would be impossible for him to find anyone related to the Dawn Society right away.'
The problem is the whereabouts of 'Tenelon' and the feeling of suffocation slowly escaping.
'First of all, how much does the Black Swordsman know about the Yeomyeonghoe?'
Probably less.
As the story goes, instead of staying in the empire to investigate, he suddenly left for the Holy Nation.
'Then, are the only people who know about the Yeomyeonghoe right now just the stalkers of Geomseong?'
'Baragi'
Within the work, those who share the same views as 'Geomseong'.
Some of them were like the 'Dawn Society', and some were open and open.
The best example is Linne Rondbell. She is one of the members of 'Baragi'.
'I guess I'll have to check them out and see how much they know about the Dawn Society.'
That way, we can prevent any unfortunate incidents that may occur when the Black Sword comes.
***
The main base of those who follow the sword, known as 'Baragi', is a huge tavern in the island called 'Wish of Abundance'.
This tavern is quite large for a tavern, and has three floors. It is the most popular tavern in the island, but it is also a place that provides a resting place for 'baragi'.
The reason why this is possible is because the owner of this place, 'Igdur', is someone who owes a favor to 'Haydn Reich'.
Of course, it was not the result of Haydn Reich urging him to 'pay his debt', but rather the arbitrary action of a character named Igdur.
'Tsk.'
When I saw the exterior of the building, I shook my head and clicked my tongue once.
If he were to go inside, it was obvious that he would get involved with the 'baragi', and in the worst case scenario, a fight could break out under the pretext of a fistfight.
Of course… … .
Those guys called 'Baragi' are the ones who blindly follow 'Geumseong'.
Although it is said to be harmful now, 'Linne' is a representative case.
Even excluding her, there are countless people who have seizures at the name 'Yurien'.
'That might be good.'
People who are emotionally aroused tend to reveal the truth more easily than others.
To be exact, I know that 'method'.
You should have tried it once or twice.
Because 'Yurien's' face is just a guarantee check.
With that in mind, I entered the 'Wish of Abundance' alone.
“Come on in…….”
As I entered the building, an unexpectedly quiet atmosphere greeted me. At the same time, the face of the employee who was greeting me crumpled.
First of all, this guy… …, ‘Baragi’ is confirmed.
'Well, since time is short, there will be few 'guests'.'
It is now broad daylight, with the sun high in the sky.
Considering that this place functions as a 'tavern', it is only natural that there are not many customers.
But, looking at the startled employee's face, I thought to myself.
'I should have brought Zahat.'
No, I shook my head.
Zahat will have to show off his skills at the upcoming 'Bishop Selection Ceremony', so for now, we should leave him to prepare for rehearsal.
I am…….
Well, I guess I'll just do what I always do.
He approached the startled employee, smiled, and opened his mouth.
“Phu, welcome to the wish of abundance. What does Lord Yurian have here…….”
“I heard that this place is a gathering place for impure organizations that do not have the royal permission.”
In fact, no orders were given by the Imperial Family, but the 'Imperial Family' is mentioned.
The reason I came here is to reveal a coercive meaning, 'to perform the work of closed eyes.'
'Actually, it's the Yeomyeonghoe's business.'
I'm talking about the 'side' where the baragi are chasing their whereabouts.
The person concerned came to find out how much he knew about 'that side'.
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand what Sir Yurian is saying at all…….”
“Followers of the traitorous Sword Saint who fled to the Holy Nation. It seems the Imperial Family has decided that it is not good to leave such people alone.”
Of course, this is also a lie.
However, it is a well-known fact that 'Yurien' only listens to the royal family's orders and only does things related to the royal family.
I won't mess around with a noble name. This is also a strategy.
The misuse of socially pervasive perceptions.
In the past, I used to tremble at the thought of using the name 'Royal' without permission, but now I'm starting to get the hang of it.

“Don’t worry. There is no order for immediate action. However, we need to first investigate what kind of organization they are and what they do.”
“……How about removing the malignant tumor that worships demons at that time?”
The employee whose expression turned sour at the negative remarks about 'Baragi' soon revealed his true colors.
A strong belief in 'Baragi'.
At the same time, endless trust in 'Black Star'.
When I saw them, I laughed because it was so absurd.
'I'm telling you, the swordsman you know right now isn't the swordsman you know!?'
Ah, it's so frustrating.
Even if I say that, how will this guy react?
You will dismiss the words 'Imperial Hounds' and 'The Laughing Squad' as nonsense, as unbelievable.
Even if you weren't 'Yurien' in the first place, there wouldn't be a single person among the Baragi who would believe you if you said something like that.
The belief in the sword was almost fanatic.
So, we have no choice but to quietly test his 'beliefs'.
"……yes?"
I wiggled my fingers, telling him to come closer. Then, the employee who looked like a 'baragi' brought his face towards me with a suspicious expression.
“I am deeply moved that you have so much faith in a master who has left the system.”
“Sir Yurian, you are excommunicated… ugh!”
I grabbed the guy by the scruff of the neck and held him there with force, preventing him from talking nonsense.
“However, wouldn’t it be okay to clear the way here?”
“Ugh……!”
“As for the tumor of the empire you mentioned, it is not the Sword Master but an imperial agency that will judge it. Do you understand?”
“That, that level of authority is beyond my eyes……!”
“Then, will you send me back like this? If you can take full responsibility for the ‘risk’ that arises after that, then I will do so as well.”
Although he didn't say it directly.
'If you keep interfering, you too will become 'heretics.'
When I threatened him with this kind of nuance, the employee's face turned pale.
Since 'Geomseong', which served as a breakwater, is no longer in the system, my words will cut into his heart like an even sharper knife.
“Oh, I see… I see.”
Eventually the clerk agreed and handed me a small card.
It is an item similar to a key that allows you to enter the stairs on the third floor of 'Wish of Abundance', which is used as a gathering place for the Baragi.
"thank you."
I simply thanked him and smiled.
But the color of 'fear' appeared above the head of the employee who saw that smile.
It's none of my business.
After finishing the conversation, I headed straight to the third floor.
Every time I climbed the stairs, stepping on the creaky wooden steps, I felt like I was stepping in the footsteps of the 'Black Star' and laughed in vain.
Within, we arrived at the 3rd floor.
Even without using 'Mana Detection', I could tell that there were quite a few people gathered on this floor.
The largest crowd of people is beyond the large door in front of you.
'This is definitely it.'
It's a gathering place for the baragi.
However, as the presence of people was felt, a commotion was also felt inside.
It looks like they're talking about something.
'Shall we go in?'
No, if it's an important discussion, it's not good to interrupt and pour cold water on it.
The perception of 'Yurien' is not good to begin with.
I stood with my arms crossed and leaned against the wall at the entrance where the door was visible.
Probably, the conversation won't be long.
Because I personally made a 'popular' sign.
It will probably be over soon, so please wait a few minutes.
Because, unlike Yurian, I am a generous person.
***
A tavern in the island, 'Wish of Abundance'.
On the third floor, where the 'Baragi' gathered, Linne was taking up a spot.
In fact, ever since she started to have doubts about '검성', she had been worried about '바라기's' future actions.
This is a group that follows the 'Black Star' and is also hostile to the 'Yeongmyeonghoe'.
It was only natural that such a 'hope' would be exposed to greater danger when the pillar 'Geomseong' disappeared.
'It is true that the Yeomyeonghoe must be punished.'
It is natural that he is a social evil trying to revive the demon, and on top of that, the Dawn Society is the enemy who killed his father.
However, there are doubts about the existence of 'Baragi'.
'The master has betrayed me.'
Even if he returns, I don't think 'Baragi' will return to normal behavior like before.
“This is top secret. The most top secret of top secrets that only you guys can know.”
With that thought in mind, Linne, who had been sitting in her seat, raised her head at the words of Sebion Lennox, the swordsman acting as Baragi.
“Your Majesty, His Majesty Haydn Reich is expected to return to the system.”
The room became noisy at the words of the swordsman Sebion.
“Shh, be quiet.”
As their murmurings began to grow louder, Sebion brought his index finger to his lips to silence them.
“Why?”
The first one to question Sebion's words was Linne.
After being exiled to the Holy Land, he is the only person who has faced the Sword Master in 'Baragi'.
As she opened her mouth with such a negative tone, everyone's attention turned to her.
“Rinne, aren’t you glad that the Sword Master is returning to the system?”
“I just have a question. The Master didn’t even tell me what his business was and just went into exile in the Sacred Kingdom.”
“I’m sure there are circumstances that Mr. Geomseong has. This is the opportunity to hear them.”
Linne shook her head at Sebion's words that it was nothing.
These are 'circumstances' that I really don't want to hear.
“If you, a disciple, react like that, even the Sword Master will be disappointed.”
Despite Sebion's harsh tone, Linne couldn't hide her displeasure.
“I was disappointed in you too. You didn’t say anything to me when I went into exile or when I went to the Holy Land.”
“As I said before, it’s a personal matter…….”
“You only thought about your own circumstances and didn’t consider my circumstances.”
Leaving Sebion behind to defend the sword, Linne made her intentions clear.
“……Linne, I know what you’re thinking, but let’s talk about that later.”
Sebion continued after refreshing the mood once.
“First of all, the reason His Majesty is returning to the system is probably related to the ‘Dawn Society.’ Even if he leaves the empire, he will definitely want to remove the tumors that remain in the empire.”
'no.'
Linnaeus denied his words.
Clearly, that is the teacher's 'personal history'.
If it had been the teacher of the ‘past’, he would have taken steps according to his lofty beliefs, but the teacher of the ‘present’ is different.
“Anyway, what we shared here today is confidential. Don’t reveal it anywhere, especially!”
Sebion opened his mouth cautiously, as if he was telling an important story.
“Don’t tell that damned executioner anything. If he finds out, there’s no telling what might happen.”
The excommunicated executioner.
There is probably no one here who does not know that it is 'Yurien Kraifat Prasson'.
'I'd rather tell Sir Yurian… … .'
Linne, who was thinking, shook her head from side to side. As expected, it would be better to remain quiet for the time being, considering that there would be a sword fight.
“Then let’s disband. When His Majesty returns…….”
Sebion, who had been speaking, seemed to sense something and headed towards the door with brisk steps.
Bam──!
A familiar face appears as you open the door.
“……You bastard.”
A cross-eyed man, the 'excommunicated executioner' just mentioned, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
“Surely you were eavesdropping!?”
In response to Sebion's question, Yurian slowly raised his head.
Shh.
After that, he showed his emotionless eyes and smiled slyly.
