'Take it gracefully, play the fool skillfully... Don't crumble, alright?'
"Hey...!? Oh no!!?" L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
Before I could complain, Tengu released his grip on me. The ropes had somehow come off as well. Like a detached aerial bomb, I was pulled into the treehouse by the remaining kinetic energy. Can I handle this? It's obviously impossible...!!
'What the!?'
'Stop...!!?'
"Can I stop!!?"
Before crashing into the treehouse, Tengu-like gatekeepers appear, but they escape from the direct hit course before my angry voice.
There was nothing blocking me from the treehouse anymore. So...
"Uh, gulp, gasp...!?"
I dive into the window, rolling two or three times, and finally crashing into the wall in a position with the body upside down. My butt hurts...!?
"Damn it, Tengu...!! What the hell...?"
While stroking my buttocks, I curse in tears. I open my watery eyes. And... there were several Tengu pointing weapons at me.
My sense of caution reaches its maximum.
"...Oh, hello?"
'Oh, you are the monkey captured by the Aka-bouchou group, right? How did you escape...?'
The Tengu with the blue hood pointed his staff at me and asked. No, wait. This is...
"...Escape?"
'Don't play dumb. We confiscated your weapons and left the watchdog! And yet you managed to escape and even came to attack our council of leaders. I let my guard down...!!'
A Tengu wearing a yellow monkey mask shouts. "What's that? I don't know..."
'If there's been an escape, that Aka-bouchou should have made a move, shouldn't he?'
'If he doesn't show up for the council meeting, then... surely, you!?'
Two more Tengu speak with disbelief. No, I still don't know anything about that.
'Oh, really. Quite the mischievous monkey, indeed.'
A swoosh, the sound of wings. Eyes turn towards the figure entering the room. It's the leader from the incident who barged into the room.
...Clutching his bleeding arm.
"Yes?"
'Aka-bouchou, what happened to that injury!?'
I'm astonished by the unfamiliar wound, and one of the surrounding Tengu exclaims in astonishment. Aka-bouchou speaks with a slightly exhausted tone.
'He tried to escape, so I set it up... but I underestimated, thinking he was bare-handed. He even stole my weapon.'
Saying so, he shrugs. The Tengu's gazes once again focus on me, at my waist. I'm also intrigued and look down.
The blood-stained Tant and its sheath were at my waist.
"What...?"
I didn't understand the reason. But it felt really bad. The word "set up" flashed through my mind.
'I knew it!'
'You monkey, no, beast! Did you come to target our necks while having a hostage!?'
"No, this is...!!?"
It was bad. The tense atmosphere. It wasn't just my life at stake. The lives of the Middle Counselor and Inaba were also in danger. I tried to defend myself... but in this situation, I couldn't imagine that anything I said would have any effect.
'Wait. Please wait... Ouch. It's true that I shouldn't be careless, but please wait for now. I wanted to explain about that issue this time. It's a bit unexpected, but don't rush.'
Aka-bouchou declared to appease the other Tengu present. The Tengu in the area looked at Aka-bouchou with puzzled eyes.
'But, however...'
'I understand, I understand. But it's not possible now. More importantly...'
Aka-bouchou, restraining the hesitant Tengu. And addressing everyone.
'One look is worth a thousand words. Now, take a good look at it. Carefully, attentively, thoroughly.'
'...'
Upon the words of the Aka-bouchou, the Tengu simultaneously observe this direction. I remain silent, frozen. That was all I could do. I never thought I could overcome this situation with just a Tant. Above all, I had to grasp the situation.
'Huh, who is this...?'
'This presence. Could it be?'
Several Tengu gradually begin to notice something, and the Tengu who realized it increase to three, four people. What is it? What's happening...?
'The one who captured that individual is the Aka-bouchou, perhaps...'
'Yeah. He deceived us quite skillfully, but I noticed him fighting on the outskirts at midnight. That's why I chose this person. There was also a good hostage.'
'I see. I wondered why it had to be this person... But now I understand.'
The Tengu began discussing without me. Their conversation completely excluded me, as if I were invisible. It was truly characteristic of Tengu and their arrogant and self-centered nature.
"What... are you talking about?"
Although my muttering was mostly to myself, it strangely echoed in the room, causing the Tengu to pause their conversation and focus their gaze on me.
'Oh, my apologies. I suppose you, with your monkey mind, can't understand. You want an explanation, don't you?'
In a mocking manner that seemed almost representative, Aka-bouchou stepped forward and rudely addressed me.
'We have a wish.'
Binding his own arm wound, most likely self-inflicted, Aka-bouchou spoke about it.
"A wish, you say?"
'Oh, yes. If you can fulfill that wish for us, then we will return that Middle Counselor. Of course, even though we have had some problems, I am willing to give up some things.'
While grasping the robe, Aka-bouchou speaks.
'Well, it's the same as your usual work. Just exterminating monsters, that's all.'
Tengu takes off the surplice. As Tengu shakes his head, the long hair that had been tied up spreads out. His skin is revealed. The color of flesh itself is exposed.
'They've been causing a ruckus and causing trouble. We were discussing whether to perform a ritual and invite a rare person... It's just perfect to select a good assassin from the monkey group. There's no way we wouldn't use this opportunity, right?'
The tone of his no... her voice changes. The recognition alteration by curse ends. The voice, which had seemed lifeless and muffled, transformed into a clear stream of water.
"Huh..."
"Besides, someone who seems to fit the conditions has come. It's unthinkable to miss this opportunity. Isn't that right?"
Tengu's mouth curls up more than ever before. She twists her neck, seeking agreement.
"It's snake extermination. ...What's the big deal, just kill the remaining eighth. It's simple, isn't it?"
The woman, who was very much like a human, licks her lips and demands in an irresistible manner.
"It's all because you monkeys couldn't finish it properly. Don't even think about complaining."
With a smirk filled with malicious mockery...
