Episode 276: Don't mess with Japanese people(Third Party Perspective)

"They're gone."

"Ah."

The two men mutter to each other while seeing off the backs of four Japanese women and one man. The other members are staring at the entrance to the dungeon.

Their names are Jack and George.

They are members of the explorer party that got involved in the dungeon in the United States where Fuhito, entering a dungeon at Nanami's request looking for her classmate Alice-chan, transferred to after entering a teleportation trap.(TN:Sentence breaks are important, they make long sentences not ridiculously confusing, author ...)

Although the two were beaten up by Fuhito, they weren't beaten up by the power of Fuhito himself, so at first they thought that he was like a decorative master of a demon.

However, this time, they changed their minds when they accompanied Fuhito and the others on their trip.

"Japanese people are ridiculous. Because he's a D-rank, you know?"

"Isn't that right? A Japanese D-rank is stronger than an American SSS-rank, right?"

"That's right. Moreover, there were B-rank and then S-rank in Aniki's party. Those two are stronger then Aniki. I have to properly tell the members below us, or else they'll all be beaten up by Japanese explorers."

"That's right. Don't mess with Japanese people and be nice to them. We have to do this thoroughly."

In fact, they are the top executives of a guild called the Bloody Destroyers, which has many gang-like explorers.

They were beaten by Luck, but they had the ability of B-rank, and it was a big explorer guild around here.

"Of course, it's forbidden to act criminally like before."

"Understood."

They were doing whatever they wanted until they were beaten up by Fuhito, they were doing whatever they wanted, but when they met Fuhito last time, they started to try to do legitimate activities.

Until they met Fuhito this time, they felt reluctant, but this time they saw the true strength of Fuhito, and they didn't feel like going against him anymore, but rather, because he had a strength that they admired, from now on, they decide to change their minds to live like Fuhito.

"First of all, is how to persuade them."

"If it's just that, we'll be fine. We'll just show them the video we secretly recorded."

"Well, that's right."

In fact, when the two persuaded the others in the parking lot, they showed the four of them a video of the whole story that happened in Destinyland, captured on a smartphone camera.

By doing so, they made them understand the abilities of Fuhito, and made them thoroughly understand that they should never go against him. Even without saying that, the four of them shook their heads just by watching the video.

"For now, let's bring them back to reality and talk while eating somewhere."

"That's fine, I'm just getting hungry."

After grinning at each other, the two call out to the four who still haven't returned to reality and go out to eat.

Not long after that, the Bloody Destroyers are reborn as a well-behaved group of people, helping the weak, crushing the strong, and never forcing themselves on others, a completely white group.(TN:Stemming from the Japanese White and Black companies where white means a good one, while black means a bad/evil one.)

Gradually, the overwhelmingly unpopular rumors fade away, and one day it grows into an organization that the local residents admire.

Then, for that education, a video showing Fuhito defeating Kaiser and drilling a hole in the mountain will be used, but the person himself doesn't know.

"Commander!!"

"Hii hiiiiiiiiiiiii!?"

When a subordinate comes to report to the command room where there is only one person and calls out to the commander, the commander trembles and crouches under the desk.

"Wh, what happened!?"

He runs up to the commander who has an unusual look and rubs his back.

"O, oh, it's you ... No, it's nothing ..."

"It doesn't look like nothing, but ..."

The commander is relieved when he realizes that it isn't a black shadow, and immediately stands up to hide his foolishness of before. But his perfectly watching subordinate is only puzzled by the commander's demeanor.

"No, really, don't worry about it. So, what do you want?"

"Umm, yes. The members of the Zero Unit were discovered earlier."

The subordinate who answers the commander's question is persuaded to do what his superior officer says.

"So everyone's dead after all ..."

In response to his subordinate's answer, the commander mutters with a bitter expression while imagining that they would have been given a cruel death.

"No, they were all completely unharmed and knocked out."

"Is that so ... What did you say!?"

Even though his subordinate was plainly saying that they were safe, the commander looked into the distance, feeling dejected that they had died because of his prejudice. However, after a few moments, the commander understands in his head what his subordinate is saying, and looks at his subordinate's face with tremendous force.

"All of them were found lying in the wilderness without a scratch. No one lost their lives."

"No way ..."

When the subordinate rephrases his words, the commander sits down on his chair with a dumbfounded expression.

Then, the commander remembers the black shadow monster.

[ There is no next time. ]

There is no next time, means he'll be forgiven this time. In other words, they were forgiven by the monster.

"What happened to the soldiers who participated in this operation."

"They, too, were found unharmed just a little while ago."

"Really ..."

After hearing about the soldiers who participated in this operation, the commander deepens his conviction.

"Let's back off from that monster. Let's retreat."

"Is that okay!?"

The commander gives an order following the warning from the black shadow. His subordinate reluctantly interrupts the commander's orders.

"Yeah. That's someone we shouldn't mess with. Don't mess with Japanese people. I don't know what will make our target feel bad. If that happens, what awaits us is our destruction."

"I understand. Raise all troops. In addition, I will tell them not to take a tyrannical attitude towards Japanese people."

The commander mutters earnestly, and his subordinate also responds with that feeling.

"I'm counting on you."

"Yes."

The subordinate nods at the commander's reminder and immediately leaves the room.

[ Won. ]

"Hii."

The commander feels like he hears a cry as if to say, 'You understand, don't you.', and his body shakes.

But, he looks around and sees nothing.

"So, you're always watching me ..."

It is an auditory hallucination, but the commander is terrified that its weapon would always be pointed at him, and he looks up at the ceiling.
