Chapter 93.1. Rumors Of The Takano Family
-Masatoshi’s POV-
Somewhere on the corner of the city center. There is a store in a clean residential area. But people don’t know how many decades old it is. It has been there for a long time, and although it sounds elegant, it’s simply an old building. The walls are cracked and so dirty that it is hard to tell what color the original walls were.
The restaurant’s interior is good, with oil stains visible on the walls, and each pillar is shiny. There are 8 tables with embedded griddles, indicating this is a restaurant deal in food. It’s an old store, but it’s clean and tidy, and the fact that it does not look dirty makes it so appealing.
What the restaurant sells can be seen from what is being grilled on the teppan (iron plate). It’s monjayaki. It’s a slightly luxurious monjayaki topped with cheese, curry powder, and noodles.
The sound of cooking on the teppan is heard, and steam rise to the top of the restaurant. The smell of oil was coming up to his nose, and he thought he would have to change his clothes later.
“Anemoi was taken away from Takano County?”
“That’s right. I heard that Wings of Anemoi, the sacred treasure of the Takano family for generations, were robbed by the disowned Takano Arashi. Moreover, that night, in one of the warehouse districts. It’s not something you talk about too much at dinner.”
The one who tilts her head slightly and speaks without effort is Genshin Sena, who has changed her appearance into a dull-looking girl with a magical device of [Disguise]. Those who know her true identity can see her real form without the magic of [Disguise] working. In other words, they can see a beautiful girl with beautiful polished silver hair, red ruby eyes, pale skin, and a fragile-looking atmosphere.
She’s the world’s leading recovery magician, the princess of the Japanese magic empire, and the heroine of the Night of Magic, a girl who is right up Masatoshi’s alley. His favorite type of woman was a beautiful white girl with silver hair and red eyes, but there was no way he could meet such a beautiful girl in real life. I thanked god, but I never awakened to the holy attribute.
“No, don’t worry about it. I can only thank Sena-san for giving me the information I don’t know.”
The man imitating Shin laughs and utters a pretentious line. He’s a reincarnated man who has recently become ecstatic that he might be in love with Saint Sena. The self-proclaimed god, who knows all the important events of this world, gives Sena a smile that he thinks is refreshing. It’s a refreshing smile, Masatoshi has recently stopped punching and kicking the servants. They then applaud and praise him for being kind.
“Thank you. You’re very kind, Masatoshi. I heard Mr. and Mrs. Takano’s bodies had become indescribable due to magic.”
Sena’s cheeks are slightly red as she smiles at him, and Masatoshi clicks his iron, thinking she must be in love with him, but he quickly pulls himself together. He had to take the story seriously, he thought. Or it would be bad.
“Did they catch the culprit?”
“No, they haven’t caught the culprit. I heard it accidentally when I stopped by my father’s office, and it’s a scary story.”
It was the work of Zephyrus. Masatoshi, the god, saw right away. Anemoi is the favorite machine of Zephyrus, the mercenary. In the original work, its first appearance was in volume 3, where it toyed with Shin and showed its overwhelming fighting ability. Moreover, when he thought he had defeated him, he was his alter ego, a hot turn of events.
In the original story, he had done such treacherous things but had survived and was traveling around the world with the money he had saved.
It seems that Takano Arashi was incompetent. In Masatoshi’s mind, Takano Arashi was a fat pig with a lot of flab on him, and he was fixed as a character of a fool who was fooled by Zephyrus in a good way and lost Anemoi. He was probably a common template stepping-stone little villain in novels.
As a fan, he’s thrilled and excited to see that the story of the original work is gradually beginning to unfold, as was the case with Shin’s activities at the party the other night and the robbery of Anemoi this time.
A group of mercenaries wearing mass-produced flying magic armor based on Anemoi. They will command a mighty flying squadron and go on a rampage. And now on, Zephyrus will become famous. He feels like a fan who feels superior because he knows a future great star who has not yet become popular.
Of course, Zephyrus was killed by Miu and her friends and no longer exists. But Masatoshi will never know that. Although Arashi called himself Zephyrus in the first battle, Kongo and the others who confronted him knew that his true identity was Arashi, so they didn’t tell the warriors the name of Zephyrus. That’s not surprising, since it is a blatantly false name.
Therefore, Masatoshi has a grand misunderstanding. In his assumption, the incompetent fat man used Anemoi, then easily repulsed by the guards, and was betrayed and killed by Zephyrus, whom he had hired, saying he’ll use it better than the fat man. He predicted that it would have been such a template story. He expected the story to be a template one since Zephyrus was only described as a wind mercenary, not as Takano Arashi, who was originally a mercenary.
Zephyrus was one of Masatoshi’s favorite characters. He’s a maniacal villain and does whatever he wants. He was a strong character that even the hero, Shin, couldn’t completely defeat. He was numb to his villainy.
“Has Anemoi been taken away from him?”
But somewhere in the back of his mind, anxiety and frustration arise. He becomes thoughtful. The reason is Zephyrus is a bastard. His work is all dirty work. He made a lot of money, but his dirty work included assassinations and kidnappings.
