To Be a Power in the Shadows!

chapter 113 【Kyaaa! Not so rough!】

​

In the middle of the night, a carriage was traveling two days away from the Midgar kingdom capital.

While being illuminated by the light of a torch, a group was setting up camps outside of the carriage. There was a logo which resembled a mask engraved on the side of the carriage. No one understood the meaning of the logo, but that was proof that the carriage belonged to the Mitsugoshi co.

There were mountains of loads stacked in the rows of the carriages that have stopped quietly. It is said that the load of just one carriage of Mitsugoshi co carries more than 100 million Zeni. However, the best part was the figure of dozens of carriages lined up.

The lines of carriages were being delivered to the royal capital’s storefront. Every person was scrambling to the entrance to get their hands on the goods, thus the firm naturally blossomed with profits. Doing this Mitsugoshi co had achieved marvelous advancements.

Advancements to this extent were what painted the powerful figure of a trading company in a matter of years.

Many merchants had tried to hinder Mitsugoshi co, however, the commodities of Mitsugoshi co had greater demand, and to support the financial strength of their company, those individual merchants started working together to compete against Mitsugoshi co.

The merchants yielded one by one to Mitsugoshi co

As Mitsugoshi co were selling commodities comparatively cheap, the peddlers’ stocked commodities from various places there.

Mitsugoshi co have earned the support from most local citizens with mass-production that is oriented for the local citizens.

Until now, large firms only sold high-value items, those merchants mostly only cared about profits and not anything else. Then Mitsugoshi co emerged by dramatically improving the quality of their livelihoods.

A lively commercial network with tremendous amount of strength was formed naturally with the local peddlers.

Now the individual merchants, other companies and Mitsugoshi co are competing against each other.

The Mitsugoshi co’s position was thought to be rock solid.

However, even if those individuals cannot win by themselves, they can still be a challenge if they work together.

Finally, with the support of big companies lifting the weights, they can unite together.

And—.

In the darkness, there were several shadows overlooking the Mitsugoshi Co’s camp.

They were all in disguise, with swords visible on their waists. Their roles were bandits, but one thing was amiss.

All of them were magic swordsmen.

It was common for a magic swordsman who committed a crime to become a bandit, but it was impossible for all the bandits to be magic swordsmen.

They used hand signals to move, creeping into the camp of Mitsugoshi co.

Then they attacked simultaneously.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaa !!”

A feminine scream sounded.

Seeing a silver-haired elf about to be truncated, they began binding the hands of Mitsugoshi personnel.

The sound of massacre echoed throughout the night.

Even the Mitsugoshi co was not able to defend when multiple magic swordsmen attack.

Only the silver-haired beautiful elf was left.

She was dragged out of the carriage, with her cyan colored pupils flowing with tears.

“Please...... Please spare my life......”

They removed the mask of the extremely beautiful elf with a shady smile on their face.

“Hey, show it to me.”

“Kuku, this is nice.”

And then the bound elf got assaulted.

“Show it to me? What do you mean?”

“What is this? This feels so good, I can die in peace now.”

“Stop, stop it, don’t be so rough”

The man pulls out his sword, cutting the girl’s dress with ease. Exposing her beautiful white skin.

“You were unlucky to make Garter company angry. Many companies’ chairpersons and the big businesses that had been hostile till now are all working together. This will be the end of Mitsugoshi Co.”

“Aah... such... never... you......”

“As you’ve expected. The Garter company’s private corps’ military strength is rumored to rival that of a small country.”

Hopelessness was seen in the girl’s eyes.

The man let out a barbarous laugh, cutting the dress that was covering the girl’s breasts.

Two white bulges appeared from there——or they should appear.

However, there were black clothes closely attached to her skin.

And in the blink of an eye, it covers the whole body of the girl, hiding her naked body.

“Na......nani!?”

“Thank you for your information.”

There was no longer the color of hopelessness in her eyes. There was only the cold gaze of an absolutely strong person.

“You!”

The man swings his sword.

The girl did not try to evade it.

The man’s sword hit the girl’s neck, but it stopped there. The black clothes protected the girl.

“A cheap sword.”

And then, a thrust.

From the man’s heart, jet black blade protruded out.

The man glanced backwards and tumbled down with a bubble of blood bursting out. The girl pulls out her jet-black blade.

“Blade of sanctions.”

She voices out, the first silver-haired elf girl got up and slayed a nearby assassin, cutting him down.

Starting from that, the company’s associates who were killed started standing up one after another, eradicating the assassins. Those girls without exception, wore black clothes beneath their normal clothes.

The situation was completely reversed.

The girls slashed at the escaping assassins, killing them.

Screams of begging and noise of death, agony and ferry echoed. And a moment later silence again reined the night.

“Beta, report.”

A blond haired elf spoke to the silver-haired elf.

“Alpha, the assassins have been completely annihilated. There were no casualties or any wounded. Three people have been captured alive for information.”

Alpha, the beautiful elf, nodded to the report.

“Let’s leave this behind.”

“Ha”

Alpha and beta later disappeared into the darkness after dealing with the aftermath.

And when the night broke as the morning sun rose, they both stopped.

A peddler’s corpse had been crucified in a carriage stopped at the roadside. Broken Mitsugoshi Co’s commodities scattered all over his feet.

It was a warning.

“This is terrible......”

Beta covers her mouth with her hands.

“Alpha, like those——”

“More than thousands of peddlers within this country alone are dealing with items from Mitsugoshi Co, we cannot protect everyone.”

Alpha walked towards the crucifixion, embracing the dead bodies which have nothing left with her arms.

“Compensate his family”

“Yes......”

“The war, it has begun......”

Alpha stared at the sunrise with her blue eyes.
