183rd Episode – The puppet Taishi

((it’s funny, as I didn’t know it was Taishi’s name my first trans was “The puppet’s ambition”…))

「Kehaha! That’s right, I’m Kokurou～! Kehaha!」(Kuro)

—

—

Sticking out his tongue like a complete fool the man turned around, now facing them.

—

—

「…..is that the reason for you to be here? If you only do such things, how dare you came back that nonchalantly!」(Branza)

「I thought I said it already～? I’m working～!」(Kuro)

「……if dead father saw you now, he certainly would be grieving because of you.」(Bran)

「Ke, don’t tell me stories about a father that was killed long ago. Does murder make you nervous～?」(Kuro)

The unthinkable amount of he blood lust in the air was almost stirring. However, as one could think that most of the blood lust settled down for an instant –

「Well yes～, I nearly planned on killing you a moment ago, but you don’t need to show resentment to that degree～. Where is……..」(Kuro)((Lib.))

「…….my husband, you mean?」(Bran)

「Kehaha…… I’ll definitely kill that guy without fail as soon as I spot him.～」(Kuro)

「If that’s the case, why didn’t you come to kill my husband then? Even more, shouldn’t even someone like you be afraid of my husband and the《three beast warriors》?」(Bran) ((Lib.))

「Who would be scared by those people～! The plan is the plan～! Just now I’m under that guy, carrying out his scheme, meanwhile having this convenient time～」(Kuro)

「Did you misunderstand me? It’s just by chance that I follow his orders, as our interests match, and moving is the last resort～. Of course I’d only work for myself～」(Kuro)

「You’re still the same self-centered thinking Kokurou.」(Bran)

「Ha, I thought that’s the proper behavior for Gabranth～」(Kuro)

As they mutually stared at each other, Kokurou suddenly noticed something as his eyes narrowed and a smile floated across his face.

—

—

「It seems like the job was perfectly done.」(Kuro)

「…….what……..」(Bran)

—

Hearing his words, Branza looked were Kokurou’s line of sigh was previously directed at. There was the pride of 【Passion】, the 《Tree of Beginning・Aragorn》. But in the next moment –

Shuuuuuuuuuuu…………… (SFX)

—

—

Suddenly a lot of the overgrown green of 《Aragorn》 withers, taking the shape of a dead tree in winter.

—

—

「W-what the-!?」(Branza)

—

—

Her cry was involuntary. It was due to 《Aragorn》 being a big tree covered with fresh green leaves all year round. The leaves hadn’t withered even once until now.

—

—

For this reason of course she became increasingly confused as the situation occurred now.

—

—

「Kehaha, the honored me is going home now～」(Kuro)

—

—

Before they became aware of it, Kokurou already jumped upon a branch above, but hearing his vice she came to her senses, sharply looking at him –
