Arifureta Extra Coate Lord of The WorldFuh, who am I you ask? I am――
London outskirts that rapped in thin mist In a corner of a retro street where it felt like old fairy-tale or folklore , there was a splendid residence where history could be felt from it conspicuously
It appeared to be prudently arden that was spreading out at the front, the sravel and the flower bed where seasonal floere bloo, all of those were first class work that gave elegant impression, from them it could be understood that really, really much labor, expense, and time were spent
And that was how it should be, the rey was a famous wealthy person even at Britain He was froe that was titled as the so-called "Real Estate King" that for generations possessed countless plot of land and building, buying and selling theeneration Allgrey family also properly inherited the business talent from his ancestors, not only that he also seemed to possess political talent, he was a capable hued in two trades of political world and real estate nate at the same time
The residence of such Jefferson was nor was varied If there were people fro, then there were also people from real estate co ere his personal friends
Anyway, it was a house where the flow of people visiting it never ceased, and it was also a well-known fact for the people at the surrounding area
Today too, a few hours already passed since the sun set, there was also the shrouding mist that it was a time where darkness had cohted with brilliant illu parked nearby the
Although, each of the visitors today were definitely well-known characters, but it seemed they weren't friends that were invited for siuests who came for work-related matter to speak about politics or business
「Now then, chief Don't you think that we should get down to business soon? For you to assemble more than half of the society's upper echelons……it uess that it ed h quality in a glance, with splendid moustache and belly h Jefferson was called with that designation that wasn't used that often in general, but he still behaved naturally Looking from that attitude of him, it could be understood that it was only the matter of course for him to be called like that by the people ere called to this place today
Jefferson slowly ran his gaze at the surrounding It seemed that he had finished his meal, there was only wine put in front of hirey fauest
Tonight there were nine guests gathered Everyone of theure that owned phenomenal result in their respective field, but the fields they participated in were co that really couldn't be understood, the biggest possibility was that these people were the personal friend of Jefferson Even if there was an outsider who knew of this , then surely they would only be able to think of this as aof fellow friends all the sa at the seat of honor while the others were sitting around a long table, it see order here And that became even clearer from the at」
A short sentence For people who didn't know the circu what he was speaking about But, all the people at the dining table were instantly going astir from that sentence that was said by Jefferson with oppressive tone
「Is that……is that, really true?」
「Wasn't that just a ……」
「Certainly it was a inexplicable case, but……」
「A case of that degree is not that rare Chief, do you have any basis saying that?」
While theirwords where confusion and expectation wereat Jefferson
「There is still only circumstantial evidence But, I have no doubt of it ……I have confirate were returning to their daily life without getting any inforet even the society」
「No way……」
「However, just with that…… It's not as though method to induce such situation doesn't exist you know?」
「Yeah, I know Of course, I didn't make my conclusion just with that ……This is the situation that can be currently confired that it is already at the level where there would be no probleed a servant with his gaze to distribute written report, the upper echelons sent their eyes to it After they did that, they went astir once more
The content that ritten in that written report was,
It wrote, the house of the target group that had been confirmed once for some reason couldn't be approached for the second tiin circle at a completely different place
It wrote, the observer was observing froaze would et that shouldn't exist until a few days ago was registered before they knew it
It wrote, that abnormality wasn't noticed by anyone in the ad was out of place
It wrote, everyday, their partners were disappearing one by one
And then,
――It wrote, the people ere tasked to investigate, without exception all of them would have blank in theirreporter right nohether it was really true or not……was unknown
Surely everyone was scanning the report until the very last sentence Silence descended on the dining table Everyone was fixated on the content of the report
But, after a while……
「Fu, fuha, fuhahahahahaha-」
One person raised a laughing voice looking like he couldn't hold it down It was a hideously distorted laughing voice that was co voice that would grant discoradually spreading to the other upper echelons too
「Finally, we found the real thing! Magnificent! I wonder just what kind of supernatural they are knowing!」
「At the very least, it seemed they have the skill to interfere with hu beyond the position of mere students」
「It cannot stay like this Chief! We have to immediately send assault force and secure one or two sa over the place It was a mad excitement, just like how someone who lost in a desert finally found an oasis, that feeling of insane arousal before their craving could be fulfilled
Perhaps this was only natural for the, searching for "that" through so many years andall of you that is i Then, everyone agree of the plan tosas if we completely kidnapped all of theroup disappearance once you know, chief Even if it happened for the second tie Not tothem who didn't return before this」
「The ability possessed by the sa matter but……they are just children after all It shows fro such power We can do whatever we like if we involve their fain to prepare the experiment site」
「The returnee, they obtained supernatural while they disappeared……I'm bothered with the whereabouts of those that doesn't return Perhaps, they are in the place that have to do with supernatural? If we grasped that, even us……」
The upper echelons let out their opinion after Jefferson's words The ht was obviously filled with passion that was never seen before
Like that, when they had decided the most of their plan from here on, Jefferson opened hismeticulous attention for the sake of the accoet for securing sairl who is called as "Yue" as the first in the list――」
「About that, I think it's better if you stop with that though」
And also the girls who aren't Japanese that are around the returnees――Jefferson was about to say that, but his words were suddenly cut off
For athe upper echelon who cut him off, but he immediately discard that idea as iroup disappearance in the itated the society――if it was asked as the aspect that was clearly different in the that would attract the attention was the existence of the not Japanese girls who suddenly appeared
Thinking froister was created before anyone noticed too, then it would be valid to think of them as "visitor from the supernatural side" Then it was natural to prioritize securing the between Jefferson and other upper echelons that they obtained fro the series of turroup disappearance For that reason, it was impossible for anyone to object here And above all, the voice of young manwhich cut him off was a voice he wasn't fah his spine while raising an angry voice that questioned the identity of the person
「Who! Where are you!?」
「No, I ao I was nornation resounded At that moment, not only Jefferson, the upper echelons, the servants, and then the bodyguards too, they all finally aware
「Yo」
With a really light mood, at the chair that was positioned at the opposite side of Jefferson, with histhat Jefferson and others were eating just noas a Japanese young htly raised!
「You bastard……where did you enter fro?」
The upper echelons and the servants were greatly shaken, the bodyguards were in the un in order to recover fro the before he opened his mouth calmly It see back his ht to be said just as expected froed thisaura overflowed fro intense, if an ordinary person felt it then not only they would wither doithout being able to say anything, they would undoubtedly trickle cold sweats while getting all flustered
But, that young……or rather, in the first place the youngthe cooking of Allgrey residence with gusto while talking
「Nguh You asked u nored」
「……That, seeh?」
「It's awfully delicious As expected fro There was leftover in the kitchen, so I loaded it onto a plate by myself ……I, I pretty much asked okay? I took silence toyou know?」
For so like「It's true you know?」 Jefferson knitted his eyebrows at such youngman looked like a normal youth No, in a sense, he was too normal in presence and appearance that if he didn't concentrate it felt like he would naturally forget hi man wasn't normal in that sense……
「Who are you……or perhaps it's too unsophisticated for me to ask that? That remark of yours just now in this situation And then that ability that ed to infiltrate here without anyone able to notice You are……a returnee huh?」
Jefferson spoke his conjecture with conviction, but for so man who heard his words frowned and his face looked a little sad While Jefferson was perplexed fro man asked with a voice that also sounded sad
「A returnee huh? you asked, if you investigated about us, then shouldn't you know about me too? I expected a reaction like『You bastard-, you are a returnee huh!?』, but……」
