McGillis, the Older Brother, was troubled by the argument between Ovai and Kuhaku, who might be brothers or perhaps rivals.
With the transfer (paint) of special abilities.
The faces of the newly born Dungeon Master of the new Dungeon appeared, painted in the air.
“!!”
The argument stopped as the two of them distanced themselves from the image in the air.
Immediately, a celebration of victory.
A messenger appeared for the man who was being praised as a guardian who had belittled his Older Brother in the middle of the night, and was currently overjoyed.
“Report! From Suurl-sama!”
It was that they captured several fleeing soldiers.
And they learned that they were trying to escape by ship to the East Sea.
Dispatched Alexy, capable of long-range cannon fire.
Go and inform the rear base.
And to another guardian.
Hubbub!? Hubbub!!
We protested to the messenger.
“What do you mean by assigning such a trivial task to my Aniki? Hey, do you want to die?”
“Are you mocking my Anii? Huh~?”
“Heh, do you want to become food for pigs (orcs)?”
“Older Brother♪ Can I kill this person?”
“Eek!”
The messenger, confronted with our smiles and words, sensed death.
“Now, now, it’s not that big of a deal, right?”
My kind Older Brother.
He replied to the messenger that he understood.
“Eh!!”
Ovai and the others, along with the messenger, looked genuinely surprised.
I had transferred a blank expression onto my face, so I wasn’t showing my idiotic grin.
The messenger, with a “Haa,” took off like a startled rabbit back to the front lines where the guardians were.
“That bastard~”
“Mmm~”
“Tch, they escaped.”
“Ah, ah. I couldn’t kill them.”
Gnoxia holds grudges.
I’ll need a substitute later, or my life will be in danger.
That messenger will die soon.
The victory celebration was interrupted.
An impromptu musical ensemble was formed.
We asked our Older Brother if we truly were the most wonderful, and before we knew it, dawn was breaking.
It’s almost time.
“Older Brother, you’ve had a bit too much to drink♪”
I stood up from my seat.
“Ah, I need to use the restroom, hohoho♪”
Gnoxia also left her seat after me.
I glanced at the direction we were headed and saw it was the opposite.
However, there was nothing strange about it when ordering subordinates.
Let’s hurry.
“Welcome back, Boss.”
“Mmm, what’s the status of the prisoners, Pepe♪?”
“Yes, the interrogation is complete, and an interrogator who has learned some of their language is waiting.”
I asked the guards protecting my Family’s tent about their preparations.
Well, it’s fine if they’re just late; appearances are all that matter.
If you embed a magic tool into their vocal cords!
I met with the interrogator and came face-to-face with the prisoner.
“You! Gūha!”
“What kind of attitude is that to the Boss!”
“Pepepe, you’ve got spirit♪ This way, you won’t break too soon and attract that woman’s attention♪”
“…Kuu.”
The high-ranking prisoner cut his lip and glared at me, drawing blood.
Pepepe, even more useful as a substitute!
“G-go ahead, stop him!”
I instructed the torturer to proceed, wounding the prisoner’s body with a saw and nails,
and then gradually using healing magic to reshape him to resemble my appearance!
“Mmm~~, full of spirit, that’s good♪”
“Gorogaga, bukkoro, gyaaaaa, shison no gaaahhh”
There isn’t much time.
The torturer briskly scraped and pierced the prisoner’s body, adding flesh.
And now, the throat!
“————ッッ?!!!”
If there were anesthesia, would the pain have lessened a bit?
Gyaaa! Waaa!
The sheer screams seem to have agitated the other prisoners!
“Well then, I’ll leave the rest to you♪”
“Yes, leave it to us.”
Seeing the multiple cages where other prisoners were confined,
I smiled, thinking my Family was excellent!
“Boss! What are you doing!!”
“I will take the torture in your place—!”
“Elder Sister!?”
The guard apologized to me.
“It’s fine. More importantly, what is this one’s name?”
“Haa.”
Katsuhide Masami.
Hmm, this will be perfect to satisfy my Older Brother’s desire for conquest!
“Move this woman to a different (special) cage.”
“Haa.”
“Hey! What are you talking about!? It’s not manly to whisper like that! We know you’re harming our Boss!
With the screams of pain that can be heard unceasingly even now! Let’s have a duel! If I win, release everyone else!”
“Elder Sister!? Are you planning to stay? You mustn’t!”
Things are progressing rather arbitrarily.
Me? A duel? Pepepe, pepepe♪♪
“Pepepe, what an amusing joke♪ I can’t help but laugh, pepepe♪”
“How could you possibly win against the Boss! This woman… Ugh?! B-Boss, Gurujiii!”
“What did I say I would do to this woman?”
“Haa, or-or-origii, that’s hah, hah.”
The guard was about to strike the woman… Katsuhide with a punishment rod.
If my Older Brother saw any bruises, he’d think I did it!
“I-I a-apologize.”
“Hurry up with the woman.”
“Yes! We will move her to a (special) cage with utmost care!”
“Mmm.”
As I was talking with the guard.
“Don’t ignore meeeeee!!”
She’s sulking. Still, her Shalsal language is good?
I thought the enemy was also learning languages from prisoners,
but she’s more talented than the torturer.
My Older Brother or Father (the King)’s child must be talented♪♪
“Boss! It’s complete. Could you please confirm?”
The torturer appeared, announcing that the substitute was finished.
The guard looked relieved, a sense of laxity.
However, I wouldn’t blame him as long as the prisoner didn’t escape.
I just strangled him earlier♪
Breakfast time has passed.
Well, if that woman is floating around, complacent, at my Older Brother’s side.
“It’s better than dying♪”
Pesword muttered with satisfaction as the substitute was completed.
Several days later.
The substitute was found as a mangled corpse.
“Pesword—!!”
“Nya♪ (Stealing my Older Brother… Oh? Chii, it’s a decoy!! Kuuuu)”
Gnoxia was furious at being overjoyed for nothing.
However, it became even more difficult to lay hands on Pesword next.
Reluctantly, I gave up on revenge and agreed to a temporary truce.
I conveyed this through Pesword’s conversation.
“Pepepe♪”
“Fufufu♪”
The two of them were smiling,
but their true selves showed a face burning with anger, thinking about the next time.
McGillis and Kuhaku were unaware and oblivious.
