Chapter 192-3
[Part 3/4]
"..."
He senses a presence on the other side of the door leading to the room.
Even with soundproofing, he can faintly hear the commotion.
Hana casts a suspicious glance in response to the premonition.
"Good grief. This is why the mid-range models are like this... Handle it quickly."
"Understood."
Hana quickly responded to the lord's instructions regarding the management and collection of plants.
She opened the door.
But before she could take another step, she immediately struck, breaking the giant arm with her invisible staff.The sound of bones and flesh tearing echoed through the air.
A short scream escaped the girl, rising in panic.
At the same time, other figure collapsed to the floor with a heavy thud.
"Ouch, ouch... my butt hurt? Can you put me down more gently?"
"Reflect on your actions. You were surrounded because of your stupid appearance."
For some reason, her nearly n*ked colleague (Kaya) landed on her behind... Hana spoke harshly to her colleague.
Then she casually look around.
Especially glaring at the big guy with 2 horns whose arm she had just broken.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch... You really have no mercy, huh? Even if you want to stop the fight, couldn't you do it a bit better? Right?"
"Are you guys seriously fighting it like that all together? Is this a joke?"
With a cold gaze, she looks around, noticing a thing that stands up just slightly below her line of sight.
They're ominously sticking out even from under their outfits.
"..."
Feeling the boiling presence and a gaze looking down from above, she glares up.
Through the gaps in her bangs, she look towards those who hasn't cold eyes, as if looking at dirt.
One of the secret unit, 'Rasetsu (localization of Rasetsua) Group', consists of 5 superhuman warriors from the undocumented bloodline of Juuyaku.
All of them are over 8 feet (240cm) tall, and especially their heads must exceed ten feet (300 cm).
And this is no mere intimidation based on size. Although in 'production order' and 'manufacturing technology', they're newer and more advanced, their original purpose is different.
Their operational philosophy is different.
They are purely specialized in combat.
In terms of direct violence, she is inferior to them.
That said, she has no choice but to stand her ground.
She need to issue a warning against their violent actions.
"Tetsubota. If you push any further, I'll bite you in half, you know?"
"You're not supposed to bite it, right? Eh? I heard that it's not well received by customers, right?"
"Hey, listen?"
"Sorry. Coincidence. Coincidence"
The leader of the Rasetsu unit smiles with a flippant smile at his frivolous words.
"How about it? Since I have the chance, I'll act as a substitute. I'll use it before it expires."
"If you want to play, use the ranch. Even if the negotiations fail, you're the third one."
During the production of the 7th generation, which corresponds to the Rasetsu, this particular aspect wasn't given much importance from the planning stage.
The test results using 'chills' also turned out to be disappointing.
Productivity, however, is a function set to be emphasized and specialized in the upcoming 8th generation.
But it's not something they should have a say in.
However, the big person himself seems to have some objections to the situation.
With a firm point of his healthy arm, he chokes back his words, clearly struggling to contain his frustration.
"Hey there, over there. Rather than testing that useless hunk of meat, I want you to challenge us instead?"
"That's right. If we hit it off well, we might be able to help the lord even more."
"Hehehe. We're way more experienced, you know? We can really satisfy you guys!"
With a devious grin, Tetsubota and Kashamaru, along with Kamino-Zaemon, start talking nonsense.
Now, just how much of this is a joke, and how much is serious...? Either way, Hana's answer is just one.
"Get lost, you useless one. ...Are you planning to question the lord's policy?"
Hana shoots a sharp, serious glare at the rude bull.
The air around them grows tense, heavy with danger.
A low growl rumbles, the sound of a beast ready to strike.
It's a threatening growl, vibrating with menace.
The silence that follows is icy, like the edge of a blade brushing lightly against the skin of a neck...
"...Heh. Don't make that scary face, okay? We're all part of the same family, aren't we? Let's get along!"
Then, Tetsubota, whose arm had been twisted awkwardly, cracks it back into place and moves it.
He spreads his palm and rotates it to check how it feels.
It looked completely back to normal.
"Hey, Kaya. If you're going to walk through the hallway, at least put on some proper clothes, okay? If you get misunderstood again, I won't know what will happen!"
"Nyahahaha... I'll be careful!"
Tetsubota warns the half-n*ked girl with a beast-like glare, and the person in question scratches her head and laughs it off.
It's like a playful puppy cuddling and being affectionate.
How to flatter a female....
"Haa"
The Rasetsu, led by Tetsubota, snort in displeasure at Kaya's attitude and leave the place.
In places and places not open to the public, their duty is to behave in a way that is beyond human comprehension. In their free time, they either train in a way that is steeped in killing, or eat and sleep excessively, and release their rage.
Given that anger, they knew where they were heading.
"...Why don't you hurry up and put on some clothes? You'll catch a cold. "
"Oh, you said the same thing♪ You're worried about me♪"
"Same... Ah. That's right"
Kaya accepts the warning and cheerfully puts on her wrinkled clothes, while Hana tilts her head and belatedly understands what he said.
Hana sighs and holds it out to her carefree colleague.
"Huh? What's that?"
"Reply. Please write it up by next time"
"Ah, I will♪"
Kaya receives the scroll entrusted to her by the head of the family.
She unties the ribbon and looks at the contents while still in the process of getting dressed.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm... nyaha! This is almost a full amount answer! I'm surprised! I thought there would be a lot more corrections!! Can you believe this?" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"I feel the same way. Honestly, I thought it would be much stricter."
The contents of the scroll... Kaya is amazed by the response from the head of the family, and Hana agrees.
Both of them share the disbelief that the usually strict head of the family approved such lenient conditions.
"With this, do you think we can make it?"
"Hmm? ...That's unlikely?"
"Is this still no good?"
"No way. Probably?"
Hana trusted this person's comments based on experience.
Even if there's no solid basis, if this person says it, then it must be true.
Then....
"Let's try being a bit needy. If we're eating, they might relax and agree!"
"Do you actually think that will work?"
"No way!!"
"I knew it."
She shook her head at the overly energetic response and gave up.
So it's the same opinion after all.
Then....
"We need to prepare Plan D."
"Sounds good. Can I get the materials later?"
"We'll do it while recognizing the agreement. When is meal time?"
"Well, I woke up pretty early... around 9:30?"
"Got it... That should give us enough time."
Seeing Kaya, who finished putting on her clothes, Hana began to walk.
Following her partner, Kaya danced behind her.
The two of them walked down the deserted stone corridor.
Towards the guardhouse assigned to them.
"Hey, hey. Hana"
"...What?"
After walking briskly down the impersonal stone corridor in silence for a while, Kaya called out to her.
Hana, standing beside her, is as cold and cold as ever, and asks again.
She glances at her comrades.
"Thank you for earlier. You were very helpful."
"...If you're grateful, learn. Don't bother me."
"Meow!"
"First, please respond seriously..."
Hana sighs for the umpteenth time today at her coworkers' attitudes, which are the same as always.
No matter how much she says it, this guy is like this, so it's a problem.
What do you think?
