Great Tent → Noble’s Mansion
Last night was the best day ever, with Big Brother rushing to my aid!
I wanted to thank him as soon as I woke up.
Feeling unwell? I’ll order my company’s medical staff to examine him.
“Now then, what are the investigation results on why nobles formed a gang and attacked?”
Cannibal learned from the employee in charge of the investigation.
A commission from King Father to confirm the corpse of a heinous criminal.
I decided to use explosives for that confirmation.
I never thought that…
Because they misunderstood and suspected I was harboring the criminal, they attacked me.
“So.”
“Yes. Integrating the reports from the citizens, that is correct, President.”
I praised the employees who investigated.
I plunged back into the sea of thought.
Last night, Big Brother was having a blast with my female employees, refreshing himself.
Yet, he’s feeling unwell.
Hmm, I need to call them and ask how they entertained him.
Cannibal rang the bell to summon employees, and together with McGillis, he gathered the female employees who had been violated.
Murmuring Murmuring
Summoned by the President.
Silencing their murmurs that something unpalatable might have happened.
Cannibal interrogated them one by one.
“Hmm. And then♪?”
“Y-yes, well, and then… ///”
The acts they performed to try and please the President’s Older Brother, McGillis.
They confessed them nakedly, and by the time they finished, they were so embarrassed they returned to their line, covering their faces with both hands, and turned bright red shouting “Forget it—”.
I couldn’t rest without the President’s permission. I wanted to look down.
But I knew what would happen if I acted like that.
I understood it instinctively.
(Ugh, I’m so embarrassed///)
I listened as my other colleagues started talking.
If they confessed to even more embarrassing acts than mine! Then maybe a little… embarrassment///
I tried to alleviate the embarrassment.
/// And then there was this…//////
The interrogation of all the summoned employees was complete.
“Thank you. You are free to go to your rooms.”
“…Yes, excuse me, President//////”
The female employees left one after another.
I reread the notes from the interrogation.
“There are many similar acts.”
This just means my female employees were very popular♪
I’ll boast about this joy to everyone in the Royal Capital♪
I still don’t know the cause of McGillis’s poor health.
However, we were able to have a heart-to-heart last night.
Cannibal, who was about to move to boast to his brothers and sisters in the Royal Capital and dispel his dark mood.
“Ah, um… it’s not connecting.”
The communication employee said apologetically.
The communication employee felt as if they undeniably heard a phantom sound of a crack in Cannibal’s smile.
“It’s not a malfunction of the equipment!”
He apologized profusely, vehemently denying that he had neglected equipment maintenance.
“Then what is the cause?”
“Th-that is… we’re investigating, ugh!”
Cannibal pressed him.
“The cause is~♪?”
“C-can I have a few minutes to pinpoint it!?”
“Really?”
“Yes, I will find it with all my might!”
The communication employee gained a few minutes of reprieve.
He turned back to the equipment.
Cannibal took out a throat candy imbued with his special ability from his drawer.
He put the whole thing in his mouth and crushed it with a “crack, crunch,” gaining the imbued high-speed action (Accelerate).
System scanning. Pattern-based communication network inspection.
Equipment status (re)confirmation. Checking if communication with neighboring towns is possible.
These were conducted simultaneously within a few minutes.
Awesome, high-speed action (Accelerate).
“…I’ve found it! I did it—I did it—!♪! Huh!? Ah, um… (averts gaze)”
“And♪? The cause is♪?”
The communication employee, having pinpointed the cause, turned around with high spirits, thinking he was saved.
But Cannibal’s smile made his face turn pale.
“The cause is—”
The communication employee told Cannibal everything he had discovered.
“Ohh.”
Something has happened in the Royal Capital.
The most likely scenario is that everyone is fighting over Big Brother.
“Investigate it in more detail. I’m going to go check on Big Brother. Bring the report to my room.”
“Yes! Yes! Understood!”
The communication employee deciphered the hidden meaning behind Cannibal’s instructions and repeatedly replied that he would absolutely not interfere with their business.
*Slam*
Cannibal left.
The communication employee’s tension snapped, and he slumped onto the desk, resting his cheek on it.
“That was scary… that was scary…”
Cannibal arrived in front of the room where McGillis was resting.
Before knocking, he put his ear to the door to gauge the situation inside.
“…”
*I… am… both hands…*
He could vaguely hear a voice and concentrated all his nerves on his ears.
*I finally… Aaaaaah…*
? ? ?
Big Brother has broken!!?
Damn, what kind of sincere apology would earn him forgiveness from the female employees??
With just ordinary apologies from the female employees, the current McGillis would never recover, judging only by his voice.
Inside Cannibal’s mind,
the bar was rising higher and higher. Limitless. What kind of absurd apologies would the female employees have to make…
“Breathe… In… Out… Okay.”
*Knock knock Knock knock*
Cannibal, having made up his mind, knocked on the door.
… …
McGillis heard it.
Because the mutterings, which could be interpreted as repentance or regret, had stopped.
“Big Brother? How are you feeling? Shall I call the female employees?”
… … … Ah … … Please.
After a considerable pause, McGillis finally gave permission to call the female employees.
Cannibal took the employee summoning bell he always carried out of his pocket.
*Ting! Ting-a-ling♪*
Within ten seconds, the employees who heard the sound appeared, sucking on the throat candy imbued with special abilities.
“President!”
“Gather the female employees who entertained Big Brother. Hurry.”
“Understood, President. I will not keep you or Older Brother waiting. I will summon them with all my might.”
Like a gust of wind blowing down the corridor,
within a few minutes, they reappeared, bringing the female employees (who seemed somewhat calmer) who were waiting in their rooms.
“President, I’ve brought them. Is there anything else you need?”
“No, there isn’t.”
“Then, I will be going.”
The employee turned and left down the corridor at a normal speed.
To their retreating backs, the summoned female employees.
(They ran away.)
(How heartless to disappear!)
They cursed them, unaware of this reception.
“Now, Big Brother is waiting. Apologize with sincerity.”
If McGillis’s condition doesn’t show signs of recovery after the apologies,
he declared it as their last chance, implying they would have to offer themselves in McGillis’s place.
“Y-yes! I will apologize with all my body and soul!”
So. Therefore.
(Please spare me from being discarded!!)
The female employees,
passed through the door that Cannibal opened,
and confronted McGillis, who was wrapped in sheets and blankets on the bed.
They immediately prostrated themselves on the floor.
The chorus of apologies from everyone.
The performance begins.
We apologizeeeee!
Something we did wrong! Truly…
