Episode 80: Killing Three Birds at Once
“ouch.”
Elwin, who seemed to be rummaging through the subspace, suddenly pulled his finger out in a hurry as if he had been bitten by a wild animal like a snake.
Unlike his gesture of pulling out mugwort, his tone was flat, but his eyes were rounder than usual, as if he was surprised in his own way.
“What? Why?”
When Gale asked curiously, Elwin closed his mouth as if lost in thought for a moment and then tilted his head.
Then he opened the subspace again, looked inside, and said.
“Hmm. I guess… … .”
“I guess?”
“It seems like you don’t want to come out! I guess you don’t want to show yourself in front of Gale.”
“Eeeeek!?”
“No. Do you just not like Gale?”
As Elwin spoke, his expression seemed to be one of hesitation, and Gale’s eyebrows rippled as if they had been hit by a storm.
“What the hell! What did you get?! Show me! You acted like you were going to show me until just now, but if you don’t, people will be curious!”
“I originally planned to show it to him, but what should I do if he doesn’t like it?”
“Hey? You’re talking as if you have an ego? Are you a living thing?”
“It’s not a living thing, but… … .”
Elwin thought of the ‘thing’ he had placed in the subspace that was his share. The soul poison he had received from the fairy, Gluagaho.
This soul poison was born in a mythical realm, so it appeared to be nothing more than a murky liquid.
“There is something similar to an ego. It seems like it can’t think in a higher order. If I had to make a comparison, I would say it has the intelligence of a small parrot.”
“What on earth is that… … . This old man, you must be curious.”
“Ahaha! You will learn it little by little. The day will come when you will be able to use it.”
Thinking about that day brought a smile to Elwin’s face.
“When that time comes, the thing that knows who I’m going to kill will have to come out. Then Gale will be able to see it too.”
“Huh, I see there’s something there after all? Is what’s inside that subspace also related to your revenge?”
“of course.”
Soul poison is an ugly and vicious thing that erases the immortal and eternally circulating soul from the world forever.
‘That’s why… … .’
It was the only way to kill a fairy, a spiritual being, a pure soul.
‘I finally have a way to kill that woman… …!’
The sixth of the 13 highest executives of Familia.
‘Sesto.’
Because she was a fairy.
Since even Elwin could not learn how to annihilate the soul, acquiring soul poison was a very important task.
Because in this world, only three races were granted the power to manipulate souls.
A fairy. Or a witch.
finally…….
‘gentile.’
We will also encounter this sooner or later.
The presence of the ‘stranger’ cannot be left out in ‘Rampas’.
‘Anyway, it seems like this soul poison has recognized me as its master.’
Even now, beyond the subspace, Soul Poison was rubbing its body against Elwin’s finger and showing off all sorts of cuteness.
It is an expression of regret for refusing to go out.
‘The reason why he doesn’t want to come out strongly despite his master’s wishes is probably… … .’
In fact, Elwin could roughly guess why the soul poison had shown such an abnormal reaction.
“… … .”
Gail Garib.
“I heard you have a knack for making people curious.”
It must be because of that guy who looks like a thug.
It goes without saying that the main character in every piece of content must be ‘special’. There must be something unique that sets them apart from other bland characters.
The same goes for Gale, the ‘main character’ in “Rampas”.
‘Poor thing.’
That specialness is what makes Gale, Gale, but it is also what causes him to fall into the pit of pain and despair.
“Then what was that parchment scroll? You just took a quick look at it and closed it by yourself.”
“Really. You’re so curious, Gale.”
“Ahem! Ahem ahem~”
Gail, who was stung by those words, whistled and tried to avoid the conversation.
Although Elwin became more comfortable with her as they lived together, Gale was still a mercenary hired by him.
Again, curiosity was like poison to a mercenary.
The more information you don’t know, the more it will come back to haunt you, so these days, Gail can’t hide the curiosity that’s welling up inside her.
It was a new change in myself that surprised me to the core.
“Well, that… … If it’s difficult, then don’t worry.”
“Don’t be shy because you’ve been timid for a while. There’s nothing wrong with it. Now, look.”
Elwin opened the jewel box he had been carrying at his side and took out the parchment inside.
He untied the delicately tied ribbon and revealed the contents inside.
“… … Wow, this is awesome?”
Gale slowly read the contents written on the parchment with his eyes, then opened his eyes wide and vomited out his pride.
The words written on the parchment had such power!
“Dalton Pactio… … That gentleman really showed great sincerity. That’s right.”
Dalton Factio.
He was a direct descendant of the Pactio family, but strangely enough, he left the family on his own and became famous as a lawyer.
However, that did not mean that his power as a direct descendant had disappeared. The current head of the Pactio family was very fond of his younger brother who had left home.
He gave the certificate that allowed him to ask for anything from the ‘Factio Family’, staking his lineage and rights on it.
Unless it was a truly outrageous request, such as handing over the family line or asking to go to war with a certain country, the Pactio family would be obligated to grant Elwin’s request.
“If this is true, then we’ve just gained another huge boost!”
“Right? This one piece of paper is the biggest takeaway from this incident.”
Elwin, who had been waving the certificate, soon rolled it up carefully and sealed it.
Then, he placed the certificate and the red clover inside the jewel box, and put the entire box inside Elwin’s subspace.
“Safety first!”
The Pactio family, which holds the world’s golden rope.
Now Elwin has a blank check to take care of most of his problems!
Maybe, depending on the person, this one piece of paper could be a panacea.
Because most of the problems that occur in the world are related to money.
Of course, some people say that there are many things in the world that money can’t solve… … Let’s think about it again carefully.
Isn’t it not that the problem couldn’t be solved with money, but rather that there wasn’t enough money to completely solve the problem?
“Hey, what are you going to wish for with this? This is the wish of a special hunter who already has enough money and power! I’m really curious about this old man.”
“Well… … I can’t think of anything right now.”
It was a lie. The wish for this certificate had already been decided.
‘With this… … I can expand my scope of activities in the Western Continent later.’
This was also just a preparation for the later fight with Familia.
Because Familia had occupied most of the Western Continent, there were many things that had to be prepared in advance.
“Wow… … Kid, you’re really no joke. I want to take a peek inside your head. How did you manage to plan such a huge plan?”
“Haha! Don’t keep doing that. Anyone can do it.”
“Hey, humility! If even dogs and cows could do this, the world would be crazy.”
Gail, who didn’t know that, just kept exclaiming in admiration.
Clover Company Incident, I wonder how many benefits they gained by solving just this one problem.
Red Clover and Dalton Pactio’s certificate, and something inside Elwin’s subspace.
But Gale thought that Elwin had gained more than just these material things, he had also gained many invisible things.
‘The complete trust of Clover Company, the connection with the Pactio family, and… … .’
Spero’s fame!
‘As soon as we launched, we solved a major incident, made Spero known, and gave him a good reputation and the perception that he was competent.’
Moreover, the official movements of the special hunter Hwang, who had been in hiding for five years, were suitable for attracting public attention.
The world will be watching Spero’s future achievements!
‘… … This is seriously scary.’
Although Elwin was younger than him, his foresight and insight were truly extraordinary.
Gail suddenly asked, reaffirming her resolve that she would never cheat on the brat.
“So where are you going now? What kind of knot are you going to tie with that guy earlier?”
“That’s right! We did interfere on our own, but since we started something, shouldn’t we finish it cleanly?”
Elwin said, looking towards the entrance to the deck where Gale had come out earlier. Gale also followed Elwin’s gaze.
“The bad relationship with Deficio.”
And there… … there was a woman in pure white walking out slowly.
“… … Right, Yana?”
“Yes, Llewin. But I don’t intend to simply tie it up and call it a day.”
The woman, Yana, smiled gently, her eyes full of life hidden beneath her crescent-moon eyes.
“We have to kill them all. So that the worms never crawl out again.”
“Haha! You already have great ambitions! I’m sure you’ll be satisfied with the results!”
“Thanks to Darwin’s help.”
“… … .”
Gail, who had been watching the two people laughing and chatting amicably, soon began to shiver with fear.
“Eww! What kind of people are so cruel… …. Just looking at them makes my bones shiver.”
Sercia too, and the woman named Yana who was introduced as a new member for a short while.
Even from a distance, you could tell at a glance that it was no ordinary thing.
‘Also… … Both of them seem to have a serious story behind their revenge.’
Since the two people have similar calm and cool vibes, it seems natural that they would have the same goal, but… … I thought it was a little bit pitiful.
“So. Where are we going?”
“It’s a tunnel.”
To Gale’s question, Yana answered in a soft voice instead of Elwin.
“… … A tunnel? Could it be the tunnel I know?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Gale’s mouth fell open. Because the tunnel was a space that was only allowed for ‘interspecies’.
“Can we go in there? Our group looks completely like Rampasians.”
“Don’t worry! I’ve already prepared the method.”
Elwin shouted brightly as if telling Gale to trust only himself, and Gale groaned without realizing it.
“Oh my… … . This time it’s going to be tough again.”
I had a feeling the smell of blood wouldn’t go away for a while.

Kugugugugugugu!
The place where the airship that had been floating diligently in the sky stopped was the ‘high forest’ of the Kingdom of Batevils.
Even the shadow of the giant airship was completely obscured by the forest that seemed to pierce the sky.
“Nar, then please.”
“Yes, master. Have a nice trip.”
Elwin, the Spero members, and Yana, who had left the airship to Narhan, walked deep into the forest.
As soon as their new form disappeared, the airship also disappeared. It must have switched to transparent mode.
As we reached the depths of the tall, dense forest, surrounded by tall trees on all sides, Elwin explained.
“There will be comrades waiting for us nearby to join us in this operation. We will join them and then head towards the tunnel.”
“Another colleague?”
At that moment, a cautious sound came from far away. That person was… … .
“Huh, huh-!?”
“you!”
“… … !!”
It was ‘Hake’ who was said to have died during the Rampas Hunter Exam!
