I Don’t Need a Guillotine for My Revolution - Chapter 134
Episode 134 Iberica – Gremory
“Deal?”
Show that and then make a deal.
“I think you are well aware that trade with Abyss Corporation is prohibited in Franzia, right?”
“I know, Marquis. So, this is a transaction not with the Rust company, but with Gremory personally.”
“CEO of Rust, a subsidiary of Abyss Corporation. “How can you become an individual like that, devil?”
“That’s right…”
Gremory answered after a pause, twirling her long golden hair with her hand.
“The deal I’m going to ask for from now on is against the Abyss Corporation’s regulations.”
Ah, so it’s Gremory without mentioning Abyss Corporation or Rust Corporation?
I don’t know if it’s true or false.
The succubus is a race that specializes in deception and arouses lust by toying with humans from the beginning. Can you really believe this?
I stared into Gremory’s golden eyes.
But the devil is looking directly at me with calm eyes, without showing any emotions.
This is really it. Is this the same person as the succubus that was fluttering around?
Which one is real? Is there anything real?
I had a snowball fight with Gremory for a while, but soon gave up wasting time and nodded.
…Apart from being angry when I saw those damn things, it’s also true that I was at a loss because I couldn’t find an answer.
“I’m just a little bit interested. say it.”
Gremory bowed slightly and bowed to me with a calm expression.
“Thank you, Marquis.”
Then, with a slightly smiling face, he raised his head and opened his mouth.
“What I will propose is a law to destroy drones.”
“drone?”
“ah.”
Gremory looked away for a moment, seemed to think, and then opened his mouth.
“This is the Abyss Corporation’s common name for magical engineering products made by processing humans, orcs, and other primates. “This is the enemy the Marquis fought against in Ciudad.”
“…It’s a magical engineering product.”
Drone worker beetle.
It’s a bug created by processing humans and orcs through magic engineering.
You gave them a very dirty name, you devils.
Although I expected it, it was still in the serious stage, but Gremory’s words confirmed it completely.
Gremory remained silent for a while and then cautiously opened his mouth.
“Can I continue?”
Is this consideration? Or is it even just an act to disguise it?
“The CEO of Abyss Corporation Rust wants to tell you about the weaknesses of his company’s products? I said it was a deal. “Then what do you want?”
“Firstly, defeat the drones, secondly, I hope you don’t make this a public issue, but secondly, do whatever you feel comfortable with.”
“under. Why don’t you make something like that using humans as material and then make it a public issue? Why should I do that? “If we just expose that drone or something, we can make the Abyss Corporation a public enemy of the continent.”
Gremory seemed to catch his breath lightly and then opened his mouth.
“Because that’s not going to happen.”
“what?”
“Didn’t you think the Emperor of the Germanian Empire was a bit strange?”
“What are you talking about?”
“The electors of the Germanian Empire and the influential people of Porto Port. “It’s definitely beneficial, but don’t you think it’s too easy to jump into something risky?”
When I heard that, it came to mind. The empire’s actions were strategically incomprehensible.
When I realized that and glared at Gremory, the succubus caught my gaze and calmly opened her mouth as if she wasn’t showing off at all.
“Being able to hide in their dreams and show them what they want means that it is also possible to induce their actions or emotions.”
I immediately kicked my feet and pulled out my sword.
When the sword was swung, Gremory spread its wings and jumped back to avoid it.
“Marquis, I- Ugh?!”
Before Gremory could finish speaking, the dagger I flew tore off one of the succubus’ wings.
He said that since it was a dream, physical force had no meaning, and even when he broke Paimon’s neck, it had no meaning.
I thought it was like that at the time.
In fact, the person in charge was scared and ran away to avoid my attack. I also got rid of my sword and dagger.
I just couldn’t think straight because of that succubus’ foolish behavior. With the world humming and shaking with the magic flowing through my body, I ran towards the falling Gremory and shouted.
“It seems that you, the organizer of dreams, cannot avoid the influence of physical force!”
I swung my sword filled with all my magic at the falling succubus.
…and it bounced off.
“Tsk!”
Gremory sighed lightly, tidying up his messy hair and clothes with his hands as they fell to the floor.
With one hand stretched out towards me.
“what?”
Centered around Gremory’s outstretched hand, a magical barrier –
no, a golden barrier similar to the one used by Eris – was shining.
“Divine power?”
The divine power is the polar opposite of that of the demons.
That is why it was possible for Christine’s consecration bullet to instantly shatter the powerful magic barrier of Halfas.
But the demon succubus uses divine power?
There’s no way something like that would be possible.
Gremory slowly stood up.
Each and every action was overflowing with lust, but it wasn’t something he specifically intended, and it felt like it was something as natural as breathing, so it actually became more unpleasant.
When I saw her wearing a nun’s uniform, I thought it was just the devil’s vice, but she uses divine power?
“Have you calmed down a little, Marquis?”
“What are you.”
Gremory slightly tilted his head and answered.
“A half-demon who can’t use demonic magic because of his divine power?”
“How do I use my divine power? “Holy power is not something that demons like you can use.”
The principle of divine power that Eris spoke of was not something that demons could use in the first place.
Gremory shook his head and answered.
“I want to save you from getting sick. …I want to protect it. “Can’t anyone have that kind of feeling?”
“Huh succubus?”
Gremory chuckled and laughed.
“Is it a problem because I’m a succubus?”
Then he stretched out his hand and it began to shine.
The succubus, whose light was as brilliant as Eris, bent her golden eyes and spoke again.
“As you can see, God lends strength regardless of whether you are a succubus.”
While I was speechless, Gremory withdrew her light, looked at me, and opened her mouth.
“I have divine power, so I cannot use the devil’s magic, Marquis. At most, I can only intervene in dreams, which is the natural ability of a succubus, so even if the Marquis attacks me like this, I have no way of harming the Marquis. “For the second time, it’s already difficult to play around with dreams with the strong-willed Marquis.”
Then, he smoothed his golden hair with his hand, looked at me, and asked.
“On the other hand, I don’t think I will be attacked even if the Marquis attacks. “I’m still a little more skilled than the marquis’ young saint.”
“…You are dealing with a divine power that is stronger than that of a saint? “A succubus?”
Gremory slowly tilted his head and smiled.
“Believe it or not. “Anyway, there’s no way to hurt each other, so it’s a bit of a waste of time, so can I hear the answer to the deal?”
“Tsk.”
I clicked my tongue and sheathed my sword.
I’ve never imagined a succubus using divine power, but it’s absurd that divine power actually adds credibility to this succubus’ words.
The corrupt priests of the Holy Church also use divine power, but it is nothing compared to Eris. She’s not a saint for nothing.
So, if this succubus came with malicious intent to deceive, it cannot be explained that she can use divine power as brilliant as Eris.
…Or maybe we misunderstood the premise from the beginning.
Gremory smiled slightly as if he was satisfied and opened his mouth.
“I’ll say it again, Marquis. What I will give you is the method of destroying drones. The Marquis can defeat the drone with that. “The public opinion is… it won’t change much no matter what you do, but if you don’t believe it, you can try it.”
“There are so many people who have seen it that it would be useless for me to hide it, right? “If Krafte or the Eastern Empire found out, it would be possible to make the Abyss Corporation public.”
Then Gremory smiled and answered with a pretended friendly face.
“If the Marquis is defeated in Iberica, King Crocs’ country is destroyed, and the drone army advances to the continent, then that will happen. However, drones disappear when their magical power supply is cut off. “The upper classes of each country bought by the Abyss Corporation have enough influence to make the groundless cries of distant pagan peninsulas and seditious revolutionary countries ring hollow.”
“Do you think all human nations are your puppets?”
“On the contrary, the Marquis overlooks human greed and selfishness too much. I may be a little busy, but there’s nothing I can’t do to drive public opinion into the disastrous manner in which Francia dragged in pagan barbarians to avoid a war with the Kingdom of Krafte. … I don’t really want to do that either.”
I gritted my teeth quietly.
It’s a damn thing, but this succubus’ words don’t seem like bravado. If we win, we will not be a threat or anything to other countries and will become someone else’s problem.
Yes, if the human nation had been so united, those bastards wouldn’t have been able to cause trouble for hundreds of years.
As Gremory said, unless Crocs is abandoned here, there is no guarantee that using drones to make the Abyss Corporation an achievement for humanity will work out well.
I looked at Gremory and asked.
“reason.”
He said he was requesting a transaction not as the Abyss Corporation or Rust Company, but as an individual succubus, Gremory.
“Hearing what you say, it looks like Paimon is here too and the drones are running rampant. “Abyss Corporation’s position is to release drones here, so why are you asking for a deal that is completely opposite to Abyss Corporation’s position?”
Whether this deal with the devil helps me or not, at least I don’t want to end up like the idiots in the empire who were taken advantage of without knowing why.
“…I want coexistence with humans.”
“The guys who said that are good at making things like drones. “You said you sowed the seeds of discord on the continent with your mouth.”
I scoffed as much as I could, but Gremory still answered with a calm expression.
“It is better to be criticized first than to hide the truth and lose trust later when it is discovered.”
Then Gremory took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
“As you may have already guessed, the Abyss Corporation’s main enemy is the Eastern Empire. “Only there is a navy that poses a threat to the Abyss Corporation, and we were content to sow discord in the central continent, engage in trade, and make a profit.”
This is a fact I also know.
“However, the Marquis and other uncertain factors have pushed the Abyss Corporation into a corner. Well, it’s not that it’s on the brink of destruction, but its position of absolute superiority, always earning huge profits, is being shaken. Then I would just have to give up a bit, but I don’t want to do that, so I’m doing more and more unreasonable things. “Since we can no longer supply drone materials, it’s like a crazy idea to release drones to save humans.”
“so? Aside from Abyss Corporation’s position. “Why you?”
“If we achieve victory in Iberica with that drone, the entire continent will know about the existence and threat of drones. If that happens, the hostility that has been diluted over hundreds of years will be revived at once, and as the Marquis said, it will be made public and the Abyss Corporation will become a public enemy of the entire continent, just like Pandemonium did in the past.”
“You don’t like that?”
“Yes, I am a moderate. I don’t like the drone technology itself that treats humans like that, and I want to stop sowing discord to make humans fight each other. “If we lose here and decide that the drone’s utility value is not comparable to the risk, the headquarters may change its mind.”
“Oh, you’re a devil who respects humans very much. I don’t know if I can believe this. “I don’t think the devil’s respect is very trustworthy.”
Gremory frowned slightly and answered.
“Then, according to your taste, Marquis, I will speak a little more devilishly.”
And then the momentum changed.
The succubus, who had been talking seriously just now, smiles lustily and licks her fingers with her tongue.
“Humans also empathize with livestock and raise them with care. I feel sad when I die. “Is there any reason not to call him a devil?”
“…are you mad because you fucking understand?”
Gremory chuckled and laughed.
“I am a succubus who makes a living by taking on the emotions of humans. “If you buy their favor, you buy it, but if you buy their resentment and hostility, nothing good will come of it.”
“Well, it’s a bit questionable whether I really need to buy favors. Didn’t you beg me to give you some energy? “Even if you were an enemy devil, if you decided to seduce someone with that kind of appearance, there would be plenty of people who would get horny and cling to you.”
“Hmm. “Humans misunderstand succubi so much.”
Gremory, who said that, slowly tilted her head and answered.
“Marquis, do you think the meal will be delicious if a really unpleasant-looking woman invites you over and prepares you all kinds of delicacies, and then you sit across from them, drooling and panting?”
“….”
“I’m the same. If I had to ask, I think the Marquis would be really delicious. excuse. Still, good feelings are more delicious. “Like admiration, admiration, deep gratitude, and pure love.”
“I think I understand why a succubus learned divine power.”
Gremory finally smiled with a truly satisfied face.
“Wow, I think I finally understand a little bit. Yes, we really picked the wrong industry. “If you just do something nice, you’ll be rewarded with all kinds of delicious emotions, so what’s the benefit of only buying people’s hatred?”
I looked at the golden succubus in front of me with a confused feeling.
There are many questions and feelings of resistance.
First of all, the puzzle pieces fit together.
The Abyss Corporation’s situation is all about that succubus’ motivation. If it even deals with powerful divine power, it may have some credibility.
But isn’t even that an idea planted by this succubus? How much can I trust?
As I was pondering, Gremory spoke again.
“Let me tell you something to make it easier for the Marquis to make a decision.”
“what?”
“The Abyss Corporation, which was born out of a civil war, fundamentally prohibits all disputes between the seven companies. “This is No. 1 among Abyss Corporation’s regulations. It is a taboo that must be absolutely observed.”
As he was wondering what he was talking about, Gremory put his hand on his chest and opened his mouth again.
“In other words, if the Marquis informs the Abyss Corporation headquarters of my actions that are currently hostile to Sloth Corporation’s Paimon and the Abyss Corporation…” the
golden succubus added with a deep smile.
“I am being disposed of.”
