Vol. 4 - Chapter 27 - The situation behind the scene
The blue haired woman, Sylphy, spit out the words of rejection she has repeated many times with a sour look.
"I also think so. Is there any need to keep it hidden from lord Grey? Rather, isn\'t it much better to speak about everything to him and seek his cooperation?"
The red haired Brave, Caesar, agreed with the words of Sylphy and claimed at the creature perched up on his shoulder.
[No, No! How do you plan to explain? I don\'t think I need to remind you how sharp his mind is one by one, do I? If he heard "his" name in this reality, I\'m sure he would find out something. No, he will definitely find out everything. It will be the end of everything then.]
The Black bird on Caesar\'s shoulder shouted in a strangely high pitched voice while flapping its wings and shaking its head.
"You\'re talking about the aforementioned "person"?"
[Yeah. He should be vaguely aware of this world\'s contradiction already. I swear that if the existence of that "person" become clear to him in this situation and recognised it, their encounter will be inevitable]
To the black bird who interrupted in between,
"I can\'t believe in this by any means. How can our powerful Lord be defeated by him?"
[Well yeah. Because the current him isn\'t the "History\'s strongest" brave 一一 Brain. As long as he isn\'t Brain, he can\'t win against him]
"Brain...... It\'s that black haired lord around the time when attacked by a monster called Ogre?"
[That\'s right. If it\'s him, he would be able to deal with him properly. To put it another way, it\'s impossible for anyone in this world to win except him. That\'s why we need to get him some time. As long as there\'s enough time, he will become strong on his own. Yeah, as he used to be]
"That\'s why, why do we have to go through this nonsensical charade!?"
[To harass him, of course]
Sylphy was dumbfounded for a moment with her opened mouth but instantly, her face was filled with fiery anger,
"Don\'t joke around!! You are putting the Lord\'s life in danger by doing this. We have been following your instructions because you said so!! So you were having us accompany you in doing nonsense things until now!!"
And she bellowed in a voice that almost shook their eardrums.
"Sylphy-dono, how about you calm down for a moment? I don\'t think Greed-dono meaning is everything was nonsense"
[As expected of you, Horus-kun. That\'s right! His ultimate goal is to rule over this world. Moreover, to achieve the goal of world domination, there are lots of troublesome conditions that need to be fulfilled. In addition, he also has his reason why he can\'t clash head on with our council, so he can\'t openly move his subordinates. In other words, he have to conclude world domination while his cheat ability is sealed]
"So if our empire\'s wealth and power can be materialized, we can defend against his ruling goal?"
[Yeah, that\'s why we had to resolutely carry out a reformation of the Empire\'s biggest education institute, Magic knight academy. Caesar, you must have understood why we abandoned his G class and entrusted you with the management of S class, right?]
"The participation of Grey means for better or for worse, all forces of the empire paid attention to that game. The leftover G class played a high level fierce fight with their rival S class. He made everyone recognize how much education can change that much and he appealed to all the powers about the need for reform. Is that right?"
Caesar gave his opinion as he rubbed his stubble.
[Correct. Empire\'s government, or I should say even that stone headed Iskandar should have understood the need for reformation]
"Fumu, then there should be a reason why you didn\'t carry out the insurrection immediately, right?"
[I said it right? We need time. If the insurrection is successful, he will have no choice but to pay attention to him. If that happens, the chance of him noticing that Grey is Brain will increase. I want to avoid that point as much as possible when he\'s still a green horn.]
"What if he realized that Grey is Brain? What will happen then?"
At the query of Caesar,
[THE END. He will be killed and the world will be over with him devouring it out]
Black bird, Greed, replied Immediately.
"If they are such a strong and troublesome bunch, isn\'t it alright to leave their extermination to the organization called council!?"
When Sylphy pointed out the plausible option, Greed let out a self deprecating laughter from his beak,
[Our council isn\'t monolith either. Specially if it comes to light that he\'s in this world, I\'m sure the most horrible pervert among the seven Braves, The fiend Dorksell will jump in joy and intervenes. If that happens, it would be a real hell. The suffering will not be limited to this world only. That\'s why一一]
"You closed something called a gate and forced [Him] to stay in this world?"
Caesar is an emotional person. His tone is always passionate and florid. However Caesar\'s current voice was weirdly devoid of contempt, anger or any other emotions.
[Sorry]
Greed just muttered this pulled back his beak.
"You should have already closed that gate, right? So I am not going to start condemning Greed-dono at this point. We have to find out what we have to do now, isn\'t it?"
"Well...... Yeah. Greed, what\'s the urgent issue?"
At the suggestion of Lord Horus, some emotions finally returned a bit in Caesar\'s voice.
[Our current priority is now to earn the time. That\'s why Caesar, I want you guys to stretch out the dispute between the Amuzreth kingdom who is already suppressed and eastern equestrian tribe. In that mean time, Horus-kun will be secretly proceed with the Empire\'s reformation as much as possible]
"Intentionally stretching the way, is it? It\'s just simply a scoundrel move."
Caesar laughed dryly.
[Also, Caesar, there is something else I want you to do.]
"What\'s it?"
[The confinement of the cowards from this empire]
Greed opened his mouth and started a new plot drama.
