The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power

7 – The Peaceful Way – 1

“Bottom. Then there must be something in the sewage treatment plant. I can’t go in there.”

“Then what should I do?”

“I have the key to the mansion. I’ll be right back so wait for me.”

Leaving me alone, she ran fast. In an instant, as she moved away, I crossed my arms and thought about it.

If you use jidunjutsu, you can dig in, but it’s a headache to clean up after that.

Especially it could harm the scenery of such a beautiful city. So let’s focus on other things for now.

For example…

Things like those clumsy guys walking over there.

“Hey, bro. It seems like you’re new to this town… Are you a tourist?”

“So you have some money? Why don’t you share some?”

The big guys came near me, openly messing with me. What was in his hand was a sharp dagger.

No matter how peaceful a place is, these guys are everywhere.

“Don’t do this here, let’s go over there and talk.”

The big guy, who casually put his arm around me, took me to the back alley. Could the back alleys of a beautiful city have shadows as dark as their beauty?

As soon as they entered a deserted place, they raised their swords in earnest.

That’s why I smiled and said kindly.

“As a pacifist, you can’t skip an attempt at dialogue. Yes, dialogue. Why are humans human? Isn’t it because we share our opinions through dialogue and want stability and peace through dialogue? I think it’s human kindness.”

“What bullsh*t?”

“So let’s talk first. Could you leave everything you have?”

“…You crazy bastard!”

A breakdown in conversation. I’m sad.

Then what needs to be done is clear.

– Perouk!!

A blow to the chest of a hulking 1. He hit the wall with the sound of his leather popping, and while he passed out, I aimed my sword at the big 2’s neck.

“Huh, huh.”

“Okay. I’ll say it again. Opportunities like this are rare.”

I usually don’t say it twice.

Still, I am a pacifist in this world. If so, I think we should show mercy enough to say it twice.

“Would you like to give everything you have?”

I don’t know what the value of money is in this world, but if there is gold, silver, or copper, gold is probably the most expensive. Unfortunately, what I got was three silver coins and seven copper coins.

I don’t know how much I can do with this. Still, I shaved as much as I could.

“Looks like you’re not just a rogue thug or a bully. You’re someone who belongs somewhere.”

“Ugh. How could I…”

“Tattoo on the wrist. Judging from the fact that he also has a tattoo, he seems to be organizing his own organization. Is that correct?”

I pointed at a man who had been beaten and passed out. He had the same tattoo on his wrist.

In general, these tattoos are inscribed for a sense of belonging.

What Lucy asked me to do was keep the peace.

These are the guys who disturb public order.

So, if you go to the base and convince them to disperse, then security will naturally improve, right?

“Come on! Let’s go to your home base!”

“What, what?”

“You keep asking me for mercy. I don’t want to say it twice.”

“…Yeah, but over there.”

– Seoguk

I swung the sword again, and it cut off a little of his ear lobe.

He was in a daze for a while, but the moment he burst out screaming, I held his mouth with my hand and laughed.

“Hush. Quiet. If you scream, the next thing I’m going to do is cut the most useless thing out of your body, like that tongue that keeps talking nonsense…”

“Kuk. Kkeuk. Kuk…”

Nodding. He nodded his head with difficulty, and after I told him to wait a moment, I touched the joints of both arms and legs of the man who had passed out earlier and dislocated them.

“Okay. All right. Can you guide me now?”

Until I put it back on, you won’t be able to move after you wake up from fainting.

“Let’s go!! hahahaha!!”

Walking through the back alleys with our shivering friend, Big 2.

How long did it take?

When we arrived in front of a small building with a musty smell, men with tattoos similar to those of Big 2 were sitting and started to get up.

“Oh. Did you bring one?”

“The customer just said he needed someone new.”

“That, that’s…”

“Need someone? What do you mean? This doesn’t look like a manpower office.”

“Fran. What is it? That guy.”

“Go, the strong!”

“…What?”

The eyes change. I looked around and nodded as the weapons were in the hands of the tattooed guys.

“Ah. Really. I don’t like fighting. Let’s try to solve it through dialogue. Would you like to surrender peacefully? Isn’t it nice that you don’t get tired of each other?”

“…What are you saying. Knock it out and bring it back!! The customer said he needed a new one…”

– Puck!!

I kicked a stone on the floor, and the stone flew quickly and landed in the face of the loud talker.

I raised my finger at the bewildered people as I watched him end up fainting after adjusting his strength appropriately.

“You guys are very lucky. If I wasn’t a pacifist…”

I think it started with just a couple of people left.

But now I am different from when I killed everyone like in the past.

Sure.

“Should I just dislocate the limbs?”

“Damn it! Hit it!!”

It didn’t take long to deal with about twenty giants.

You can hear the groans of those wriggling on the floor in a dissatisfied state.

Of course, it’s noisy, so I pulled out some people’s tongues so they couldn’t scream. I’m trying so hard, but you have to watch me moan.

Yes. After all, people have to solve things through conversation. How nice I didn’t see much blood either.

“Heehee. Heehee. Heee…”

“You seem to be the captain of this place… But since you’re like a captain, I’ll have to put up with pulling out my limbs.”

“Thank you! Thank you!”

The grim man who had talked about killing or saving me when we first met sent him tears in his eyes as he thanked me.

That’s right. How could he say thanks like this without cursing me for defeating all his men?

What kind of world is this world full of angels?!

“And this is the ledger…”

When he opened the book he was looking at, the sales details were written on it.

Fortunately, I was able to read the text as well. Is it a different world special? I don’t know why, but let’s be thankful.

Anyway, when I read the details of the ledger, the things handled in the ledger were, of course, people.

Whether it’s an outcast in the city or a refugee. They caught travelers and sold them somewhere.

The caveat was that there was only one recent customer.

“Who are these regulars?”

“That, that’s it. I don’t know…”

– Pogak!

“Aww!!”

I broke one of his fingers, and his face went white in no time.

Why do these people not willingly respond to a solution through dialogue?

I have a question. The academy is also a place where academic research is conducted, so if you ask there, will you get an answer?

“Shh. Quiet.”

“Keuk… Kuk…”

I covered his mouth with my hand as he was about to scream in pain, and I smiled at the weeping man and asked again.

“Who are these regulars?”

“I, exactly. I don’t know, I don’t know. I was just a person wearing a black robe…”

“A black robe?”

The clothes of the black alchemist I met in the monster forest were black robes, right?

The fact that these people caught and sold people who would not be strange even if they went missing.

I’ve heard before that a black alchemist uses humans to create something called a chimera.

Yes! Everything followed!

As expected, there is only one truth!

“Your customer was making the person you sold into a chimera.”

“…Ugh. That’s…”

“And judging from your reaction just now, you seem to have known that… Hey. I guess you weren’t just a knave?”

Catching his hair, avoiding my gaze, I made eye contact and erased the smile.

“Isn’t it?”

Fear began to creep into his eyes as he met my eyes.

When I returned to my previous seat, Elan was waiting for me. It looks like he’s been waiting for quite a while.

“Where the hell did you go?!”

“I was doing some policing for a while. Why are you here anyway?”

“What? It might be different…”

“Oh my God! How many traces I left for you to come after me!! Didn’t you see that?!”

“Huh?! Heh, traces? Ah… I saw it?! But I was just waiting because I didn’t know?!”

Ah. I see It’s not that I couldn’t find it, it’s that I didn’t find it. Come to think of it, it is. If I did it wrong, the roads could have diverged.

“Then I can’t help it. It’s more interesting than that… No. Actually, I found a rather boring fact.”

“What’s going on?”

“Can you guess?”

“…..”

“I’m kidding. hahahahaha!!”

“Not funny.”

My high-level jokes don’t work.

“It looks like the black alchemist is in this estate.”

“That’s also not funny… What?”

“It looks like the black alchemist is in this estate.”

After hearing my words, Elan’s expression hardened.

She wants to check her right now. I took her to the service office in the back alley of her.

People scattered here and there were groaning. I laughed at the sight of human worms wriggling with dislocated arms and legs.

“How is it? I took it down without killing a single one.”

“Uh. Hmm. I think you have a bad taste. Didn’t you say you’re a pacifist?”

“You didn’t kill him.”

Isn’t this a very peaceful response?

“Is that so? I didn’t kill him, so it sounds like he’s right… Let’s go inside.”

I took her and headed inside her. The inside was also similar. Seeing the former owner of this place tucked away in a corner, I stroked his head.

“Hey, hey…”

“This guy solved it in a more peaceful way, didn’t he?”

I just tied them up so they couldn’t escape.

Of course, we had a deep conversation, but I don’t think it’s necessary to say that.

“Yes, yes! Yes!”

I could see how great the power of conversation was from the way he nodded his head while answering hastily. After all, people have to communicate.

“How are you?”

Elan broke out in a cold sweat while watching me.

“It’s more frightening that it was handled peacefully…”

What a sad word.
