Chapter 208 Should We Inflict Suffering? Or Not?
If I look closely, apart from he's a Celestial Race and 'Abductor Bergalide,' this person has a handsome face. I bet he's had a good time in that other country, which makes me a little angry.
Thinking like that, I sit him against the wall as if he's supported, and now we're almost ready. Just a little more to go.
"Rev Recover."
Bergalide's body jerked. He must have regained consciousness from the intense pain.
"Hey. Are you awake?"
He probably doesn't know what happened to himself. He nods in response to my question.
"Now, let's get an answer to my question again. Is it true that you kidnapped 'the princess of this country'?"
He doesn't seem to want to nod.
"Huh? That's strange. I heard you threw up earlier, didn't I?"
"......"
"Oh, I see. In that case, should we drilled it until it becomes a loose, flowing stream? Or should I take away what hangs from your crotch like a feather? Hm? You know what I can do, right?"
"--Eek!"
Bergalide curled up on the spot and screamed. It must have been traumatic for him. Being attacked by a man, yeah.
"Or maybe, until your sense of self disappears, we should have you killed by people in Duchy Capital? There must be plenty of people in this country who hold a grudge against you, right?"
"Wow..."
"Even that..."
Jillietta-san must have imagined it. Grotesqueum-san is probably grossed out too. Still, Jag-san seems to be nodding as if to say, "It's only natural."
"Uh..."
"What? Be clear about it."
"She is definitely in our hands. If you want your safety, Dragonkin must become serfs for the Celestial Race and pledge loyalty..."
I stopped Jag-san from attacking. I told him, "You can do as you please later."
"So, is that your opinion? Or is it the opinion of the Celestial Race?"
"I-it's for our friend from that side."
"Hoho, I see. What's your country's stance then? I'll listen to that too."
I gestured to Jillietta-san and whispered to her.
'This is probably serious.'
'I see. I'll tell senpai...'
'Please come back soon. We'll make the rest talk too.'
'Okay.'
Jillietta-san went to Failroud-san once, then returned while facing Grotesqueum-san and Bergalide with me and Jag-san for a while.
'Where is the Head of Security-san?'
'He hasn't come back yet.'
'I see. Well, I can't help it then. Can you write a report?'
'It's okay.'
I turned to Bergalide.
"Now, I understand your side of the story."
"When will you release me?"
Does he not realize he's a prisoner? Such a selfish guy.
"Well, if you tell me everything, I'll consider it."
"What do you mean by everything?"
"Everything. What happened to all the people who have been kidnapped, including Her Highness, your country's size, basic military strength, and other various things. This important female officer wants to ask you some questions."
"I don't know."
"Okay then. I guess you'll have to take a little nap. 'Rev Middle Recover'."
"--ugh"
He collapses. Time to prepare while he's out.
"Jillietta-san, do you have a sturdy and long stick around this size?"
"Yes. If a training wooden sword is fine."
"Can I have the one that's okay to dirty and throw away?"
"Yes, that's fine..."
Jillietta-san went up once and came back down.
"What are you going to do with this?"
Not just Jillietta-san, but Jag-san and Grotesqueum-san also looked puzzled.
"I'm going to put this like this, and this guy in a 'M' shape... Oh, you don't know 'M'? Anyway, I'm going to wrap it around with cloth so the wooden sword can't close the legs, then fix it by tying the wrists and ankles together, and there you go, done."
"It's quite a funny look."
Jag-san said curiously, but looking at Jillietta-san and Grotesqueum-san, it seemed they understood what I meant.
"I see, Tatsuma-sama wants to do that."
"Yes, please wait a moment. 'Rev Recover.'"
Bergalide woke up in pain, probably realizing he was in a strange position.
"Well then, Grotesqueum-sensei, feel free to attack as you like."
"Oh, I see. So this is the setup for that."
"Yes. It's easy to tear pants with a knife, right?"
"Wait, what are you planning?"
"I'm just asking you to, you know, do some stuff. Just relax and attack until it's all loose and flowing. It'll surely open up a new world."
"That sounds great. I'd love to see a new world. Oh, I'll make a report, of course."
"Why not just spill everything if you don't like it? Either way, you can't go back to your old life."
Jag-san and I decided to go back downstairs. But man, Jillietta-san really has the qualities of a fujoshi...
"Oh."
"Master, are you okay?"
I remembered halfway down the stairs.
"I didn't ask why he kidnapped me..."
"Master..."
As I debated whether to go back or not, I heard a groaning sound from below.
"Ugh."
"Could it be..."
"It might be his last breath..."
"Scary..."
Whether it was before or after, it didn't matter. Anyway, it was a mess. Choosing between a man's dignity or betraying comrades. It's his choice. I don't know anymore.
"Tatsuma-sama, what's happening downstairs? I heard some terrifying screams..."
Failroud-san realized something and asked. Jag-san and I nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. That's probably some new torture method."
"That's right."
"So scary."
He knows that Bergalide and Jillietta-san are still down there, along with Grotesqueum-sensei, the prince from the other side that she brought. I can imagine what might be happening down there, and it's so scary.
"Oh, that's right. The Head of Security has returned, so he asked you to come to his room."
