How To Suck Honey With Extras [EN]: Chapter 191

“One down for now.”

I wasn’t about to miss out on these precious points.

I’ll squeeze them dry.

Isn’t this a world where you can do whatever you want to villains, as long as you don’t touch the good guys?

Then I should properly respond to that logic.

‘First, let’s get these guys out.’

I was careful this time, paying close attention to my surroundings to avoid being ambushed again, and I reached for the bars again.

Creak, creak, creak, creak!

Clang!

The sound of metal bending and breaking echoed as the bars were torn away in one go.

“Alright~ you’re free to go.”

I’m not exactly a prosecutor or a judge, but I’ll release you as I please.

You are free.

“…….”

But for some reason, no one came out.

What? Usually, in movies, they tear down the bars and shout, “Wow, waaaaaaaah!” and run out.

‘…It’s because of me.’

What kind of person do I look like to a third party?

Suddenly appearing, using strange powers, unharmed even after being ambushed, and even using strange powers in succession to defeat enemies so easily.

What kind of pervert is that?

‘Even I think I’m a weirdo.’

If such a guy suddenly tears down the bars and says, “You are now free,” they wouldn’t know how to react.

So, convincing them is also a task.

But unexpectedly, the elf youth Reltics, who seemed to be a friend of Dires, spoke up again.

He took a step over the bars, as if gathering his courage.

“What are you doing? Everyone! This is our chance!”

“B, but that person…”

“It doesn’t matter who he is.”

I waited quietly for the young man to speak.

It would be better to let him speak than for me to assert myself rashly.

“What matters is that we can get out. And I heard that others are fighting to save us!”

“…….”

“If we stay here, they’ll just put up new bars or lock us up somewhere else.”

Yeah, that’s right. That’s right.

I just nodded.

“More than anything, being captured will only cause trouble for our people. Even if we’re deceived… wouldn’t it be better to get out of here?”

Everyone seemed to be contemplating the young man’s words, and soon they began to rise one by one.

“Even if I die by the sword, I won’t stay here any longer.”

“…That’s right.”

“That’s right.”

“Yeah, we have to get out.”

Everyone seemed to be determined to come out.

Reltics bowed his head briefly to me, as if feeling sorry.

“Sorry for making you wait, unknown helper.”

“No, well… I understand, so don’t worry about it.”

“Anyway, we will leave as you suggested. I don’t know how far we can escape… but we’ll protect ourselves as best we can.”

He spoke as if determined.

The determination to fight and die for escape rather than cause trouble.

I was impressed by his determination, patted him on the shoulder, and then.

“It’s okay, just go.”

“…Yes?”

He said he would fight even if he died by the sword.

Even in front of me?

Who needs a nightmare?

I opened a passage connecting the space itself.

Reltics was genuinely surprised when I opened the passage.

“…A gate?! Were you a high-ranking mage?”

“It’s too much trouble to explain, so let’s just say it’s a similar brand.”

Even I wouldn’t do the crazy thing of roaming around the castle with them.

In fact, using teleportation would be the fastest, but there are too many people.

For a large number of people, it’s better to create a passage connecting space like this than to teleport.

“If you go beyond this and wait, others will soon come after you. Escape with them. Of course, if someone chases you there, you’ll have to deal with them on your own.”

“…….”

I urged those who were making blank faces as if their determination had been completely dampened, and one by one they entered the passage I had opened.

“Thank you.”

“…I’m truly indebted to you.”

“I don’t know how to thank you.”

Everyone thanked me as they passed, but let’s just say I couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticlimax.

Well, isn’t safety the most important thing~.

After sending the rescued non-humans to where Dires and his friends were ambushing, I closed the connected space.

Bye bye.

‘I wish I could follow them right away, but…’

I’m sure Dires and his friends will do well on their own.

More than anything, my second task is not over yet.

Rescuing them alone is not enough.

I left the body of the organization member I had just taken care of and snorted.

“Since I’m here, I’ll find and clean up the rest of you.”

I’m sure this isn’t the only one.

So I was going to clean them up tonight.

* * *

Around the same time.

Xelleus, the leader of the Continental Integration Assembly’s direct execution squad, immediately noticed the unusual situation outside and tensed all his senses.

“…An attack?!”

Sure enough, when he looked outside, flames were rising in various parts of the castle and he could hear the screams of soldiers.

“Damn it! How the hell do these guys defend this place?”

“More importantly, an attack? Who is it?”

Other organization members, who had also noticed the chaotic situation, hurriedly came out and showed the same bewildered reaction.

There was no need to wonder who the culprit was.

Judging from the circumstances, it was probably the non-humans that the lord was currently cracking down on.

Did they come to rescue their imprisoned comrades?

But the timing was bad.

“Where’s Karlpe?”

“He went down to the basement to pick out some guys to use as hostages and hasn’t returned yet.”

“…Should we call him back?”

“No, there’s no need. Rather, we may need to check the underground prison. That’s probably their goal.”

If they came to rescue their comrades, the intruders would definitely go down there.

“Karlpe wouldn’t be defeated by mere subhumans. Leave it to him.”

“Then what about the remaining intruders? Should we handle them?”

Even in the midst of the chaos, they didn’t immediately step forward because it wasn’t their role.

Their mission had nothing to do with protecting Count Ilanat’s castle.

Xelleus pondered for a moment and came to the conclusion that they should intervene.

“Subduing them is something we should do. Let’s think of it as a good opportunity.”

He decided to see it as a good thing.

After all, they had to carry out the plan that the lord of this place was having difficulty with, under the organization’s orders.

“They must have invested a considerable amount of force in the attack. …If we suppress them here, the subsequent mission will be easier.”

“Heh heh heh. We won’t have to worry about going the long way around.”

“Those guys are unlucky too. To start something at a time like this.”

Other organization members also wore sneering smiles.

What could be happier than having the target to be dealt with come to them?

“…Suppress them. But keep them alive if possible. …Killing one or two is unavoidable if they get in the way.”

“Understood.”

“Easy enough.”

They were about to intervene to suppress the intruders.

But as they were about to scatter and start acting, they suddenly stopped and all stared at one place.

“…Who are you?”

Xelleus asked as the representative.

A boy appeared from the darkness.

It was as if he was openly approaching them as if he had business with them.

He was not a soldier working here.

He wasn’t wearing armor like them, and his atmosphere was different.

More than anything, the boy was clearly aware of them and was approaching.

As if he had noticed their identities.

Their vigilance increased to the extreme.

“…But he’s human. Come to think of it, they said there might be a collaborator. I didn’t expect it to be a greenhorn.”

“Collaborator? Um~ well, I won’t deny it. I won’t deny that I’m a greenhorn either. I’m a bit young.”

The boy smiled lightly and answered as he pleased.

Honestly, it was unexpected.

To make such a lame joke.

Is he loose-lipped? Or is he just fearless?

“Or maybe you guys are pushovers.”

The boy once again spoke so easily, as if he knew their thoughts.

It was just a cheap provocation.

They weren’t so careless as to fall for something like that.

“Foolish. Are you planning to face us alone?”

The intention was obvious.

He must think he’s got some skills.

He certainly wasn’t an ordinary guy.

He must be the boy who led the non-humans like that, though I don’t know what tricks he used.

But it was reckless.

“You’ve made a mistake in judgment.”

He probably thought they were just ordinary aides to the lord, like those soldiers or knights.

He either rushed in to show off his skills, or he had other intentions, but it was a big mistake.

Not only that, but some of the organization members were wearing bitter smiles, as if everyone thought so.

But there was no need to tell them in words that they were not ordinary people.

“Take care of him.”

There was no need for everyone to step up.

As Xelleus nodded, two of his colleagues rushed in at the same time.

One person would be enough to deal with such a brat, but just in case, they were going to launch a sufficient joint attack to end it without him even realizing he was cornered.

The organization members who rushed towards the boy from the left and right each drew their weapons.

Both were skilled enough to easily take on an Aura Expert [someone who can manipulate their life energy].

If they really cornered him, the outcome would be decided before he could even blink.

“Ah~ well, if you underestimate me, I’m the one who’s grateful.”

But only then did they notice something was wrong.

The boy’s reaction.

Rather, he seemed to be taking pleasure in it, as if he was more than grateful for being underestimated.

‘…Could it be.’

Only then did he realize.

Which side had misjudged?
