2-6. Arguments and the Extermination of the Hidden Evildoer Afternoon (2/2)
”Kill the demon!!”
””Oooooo!””
”You damn fake priest!”
Good, only 2 more remaining.
I bring them down and roll them to the alley.
Before I set up the stages with Uusu, I got into contact with the loud-voice-kun to prepare for the event.
>[Conspiracy Skill Acquired]
”Please stop this already. No matter how many of you throw the stones, I will prevent it!”
”You bastard, do you intend to interfere this holy conduct! Foolish one who goes against God!”
The fat priest shout to the point bubbles fly from his mouth, but people who support him are sparse. Even those voices are disappearing 1 by 1 now.
I tap on the shoulder of Uusu.
”It's your turn now.”
”Wh, who are you bastard! Oi, Banze! Crush this bastard!”
While surprised, Uusu ordered the big man behind. But he fell into confusion when he look back and couldn't find the man from earlier.
”Banze? Where's that halfwit gone to!”
”That big man (Banze) has gone somewhere with a woman.”
In truth, he's currently fainted in the alley though.
I twist the arm of Uusu and take him along up to the stage.
”Everyone, please disband here. If you keep this up, the army will really come! If you are anxious then go to the temple, I'll listen to your worries no matter how much!”
”You bastard, do you intend to interfere this holy conduct! Foolish one who goes against God!”
Aren't you both priests?
I throw Uusu in the middle of them.
”Oh, Uusu-dono! You bastard! What have you done to this pious person who provided the demi-human for this holy conduct! You apostate!”
”Zena-san, please use magic to isolate voices from outside for the slaves.”
Before Uusu get up to command the slaves, Zena-san has completed the spell.
”Dog, Cat, Lizard! Beat these guys up!”
Since command didn't reach the slaves, they're tilting their necks looking puzzled.
For once, I pick up a holy stone (lol), and throw it at the solar plexus of the man. Oh, he faints in agony.
”Zena-san, thanks for waiting. Thank you for your hard work too, handsome middle-aged priest (the priest over there)-san. This guy is the ringleader.”
”As expected of Satou-san. You're not just nimble!”
”Who are you”
Your praise vector is a bit strange, Zena-san.
”Zena-san, if you still have some magic left, could you cast a spell to make our voices heard throughout the square?”
”Okay! ■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■ ■■■ Whisper Wind.”
I raise the fainted Uusu with both hand to make him visible.
I plan to use the handsome middle-aged priest as cover to make me look inconspicuous.
Wa, don't move priest-san.
”Everyone, can you see him? This man is the culprit! This man lent his slaves to this Zaikuon temple's priest, agitated your worries and sold common stones to steal your precious money!”
>[Condemnation Skill Acquired]
”'GIVE OUR MONEY BACK------!'”
An especially loud voice comes out from the crowd. Fueled by that voice, series of, ”Give our money back”, shouts begin.
”Furthermore, these guys have other goal! To gain small profit and to use the Zaikuon temple for their true purpose! They want to incite everyone's here and start a revolt on the Earl! They are actually worshipers of the demon!”
Scammer skill at its peak! orz.
The small profit part is probably true though. The remaining two were just something I made up.
In fact, even until now I don't understand the purpose of this man so I'm shaking his up to spit it out.
>[False Charge Skill Acquired]
If his purpose is to sell holy stones, even if 100 stones are sold, that's 4 silver coins. It does not match the price of 3 demi-human slaves. From Market skill's judgment, the three are worth for about 6 silver coins. If they had continued the throwing just before, the slaves would undoubtedly be dead.
See? The calculation doesn't fit.
”'That guy is being manipulated by the demon from the shadow, is it.....!'”
That guy, I did ask him to put the priest in disadvantageous position, but read the air. This could become another riot.
”I will deliver this man to the lord for attempted revolt. Fat priest (Zaikuon Temple), you were being deceived by this man isn't it?”
The priest's eyes are swimming.
”Ye, Yes, I was deceived. So he was a demon worshiper! I, I'm not in the wrong... noble-sama! I was deceived. That's why I don't have the slightest bit of revolting against the Earl...”
”Yeah, that would be right. Then please give the money back to the people. That will surely give you better treatment.”
Of course, it's an empty promise. Scammer skill is scary. Words are coming out fluently...
The fat priest is unwillingly gives the disciples instruction to give the money back. Group of two or three people are leaving the square. Later, a quarrel between people who didn't buy the stones and the disciples break out.
Kukukukuku.
Uusu who got his feet trampled down and can't move laughs creepily.
Did he go crazy, or does he have some kind of plan?
He wouldn't convince anyone with arguments full of holes. He looks like someone who loves to use violence anyway.
But, it was different than what I expected. Even while lying face down and completely unable to move, an attack from a swing of black hand came out.
I was able to dodge by a hairbreadth but the poison claws teared through the fat priest.
