Chapter 4: If Only He Had Hair……
It has been about 3 years since the establishment of Shadow GardenAlpha and I have both become 13 years old, and my older sister Claire is now 15There is no particular e 13, but that is not the case with the age 15When the children of nobles reach 15, they have to attend a school in the royal capital for 3 yearsNee-san is pretty enou baron fa up the farewell party and all thatYep, rising hope indeed
(T/N: 'Nee-san' is what the MC calls his older sister)
All that's fine and allReallyBut problem is, when it came day for her to actually set off for the capital, she up and disappearedThus the enorenou house at the moment
“When I came into the room, it was already like this”
So says my father in a dandy voiceHis face isn't too bad either
“There is no sign of a struggle, but the as indeed forced open from the outsideThe fact that neither I nor Claire was alerted means the kidnapper very skilled indeed”
My dandy dad places one hand on the sill and looks off into the distanceAll that's lass in his hand
And hair……
“So?”
A chilling voice is directed at hi it? Is that what you're trying to say?”
It'sthe facts……”
So answers my dad as cold sweat rolls down his face
“You STUPID BALDYYYYYY!!!!!!”
“Hiii, I'm sorry, I' is expected of me, and neither do I cause any troubleThat's the position in this fa to ood person, so it's a bit of a pityThe crie, so there was nothing that I could have done either
I quietly listen to et, return to ether in the direction that Nee-san had disappeared, then dive into my bed
Then
“You may come out now”
“Yes, htly, and a young girl wearing a black slime bodysuit steps out
“Beta, huh”
“Yes, irlBut where Alpha has blond hair, Beta's is silver
She of the cat-like green eyes and a mole under her eye was the third person to join Shadow GardenEven though I told Alpha “in s therowing
“Where's about Alpha?”
“Searching for traces of Claire-sama”
“Fast reactionYou think Nee-san is still alive?”
“Likely so”
“Can she be saved?”
“Possible, yes…… but ht require Shadow-sa me 'Shadow' Cus I'm the master of Shadow Garden, fufufu
“Is that what Alpha said?”
“Yes, e, it would be best to bring our full force”
“Heeh~”
To be frank, Alpha has gotten quite strongThe fact that even Alpha is asking for help nificant power is involved
“My blood boils……”
I clench ic to create a s to it, but I like this kind of theatrics
I can hear Beta“As expected……” with surprise
As of late, I haven't been in lack of a sparring partner, ith Alpha and Beta and Delta and the crew, but soood every once in a whileAbove all else, I want to play at being a power in the shadows, so this seeood opportunity
“It's been a while since I last got serious……”
Just like so, I've also gotten used to exuding the aura of a power hidden in the shadows
Also, lately Alpha and Beta have taken to fleshi+ng out our setting even further, so it's been a blast
“The criminal is, as expected, part of the Order of DiabolosEven more, he is one of their upper echelons”
“One of their echelons, huhSo why did they kidnap Nee-san?”
“They suspect her of being a Descendent of the Heroes”
“Hmph, those sharp-eyed bastards……”
So yea, like that
Furthers like “As expected, your words were entirely correct……” and “About a thousand years ago, Diabolos' descendents……” and “Frolean clues that point to the existence of the Order of Diabolos……” and other similar suchI mean, I can't read ancient letters so hoould I know? I bet Alpha can't really read thein front ofso the OrderI'm sure that must be it
“Please take a look at these docuht be held in, based on our latest intel”
After saying that, Beta plonks a huge pile of paper on my tableOk seriously, I have no idea what to do with all thisMore than half of it is in an ancient language and the rest is filled with indecipherable otten good at otten evenBeta's 'explanations,' I take out a throwing knife and throw it at the map on the wall
Thunk
With a dull sound, the knife pierces a certain point
“There”
“That place? What is there?”
“That's where Nee-san is”
“But that place, there's noth-…… no, wait, could it be……!”
Beta hurriedly ruh the
Uht?
Butyour acting is good, BetaI can see where this is going – you're going to tell me that there is a secret hideout at that location, aren't you?
“In conclusion, after coh possibility that there is a secret hideout at the location that Shadow-sama just pointed out”
Called it
“But still, to read through this enormous amount of materials in a split second and even deduce the location of a hidden hideout…… as expected of Shadow-sa, Beta”
“I shall double h I know it's acting, but I can still feel the eot all the important points down pat, Beta
“I shall inforht?”
