Mob Protagonist ~ Mob in the Novel But There is a Problem

Chapter 96.2

Chapter 96.2. The Fools Who Calculate

-???’s POV-

“That Enraku boy doesn’t take any risks in that regard. Small bets, small profits. Well, that’s why he has a lot of assets, he has some power, but he’s a seamless partner without any rumors of dirty work.”

“The old lady is right. Perhaps Masatoshi-kun’s muttering was a message from Enraku-kun. That’s what Duke Kanna was plotting, though I don’t have any proof. It’s a troublesome and far-fetched message, isn’t it?”

As if tired again, the Emperor leaned back languidly. The noble society is troublesome. Even Aguni Enraku, who is known for his boldness and open-mindedness, sends such incomprehensible messages. The old man becomes disgusted and says, “I think it would be better if he conveyed the message a little more straightforward.”.

“I see, so Masatoshi-san’s muttering was still in the stance of [I happened to hear it in front of my father’s office], wasn’t it?”

Without saying it, Sena understood that that was what he meant. He must have been secretly instructed by his father. He wanted her to convey some message to the Emperor under the guise of a coincidence.

There was no way he could have eavesdropped in front of the office. In addition to soundproofing, high-ranking nobles are wary of magic and take various measures. Even if it were his son, he wouldn’t be able to eavesdrop. It is only in fiction that they happen to be able to eavesdrop, in reality, they are very cautious.

“I heard that Masatoshi-kun is very smart, even for a child. A child who can do such a thing, huh? I guess Nobu-kun’s future is going to be tough. I’ll be cheering for you from the shadows. Do you want to become Emperor while you still can?”

“I don’t want to be Emperor for another 10 years, so please do your best. You need that much to make your entourage and build your ground.”

“Oh no, my boy is a safe driver too. I don’t know who he’s like.”

“Better than my sister who keeps stepping on the gas pedal.”

“Bwahaha! You’re good at that, aniki!”

“Mwah, that’s terrible. My car is safe to drive.”

With the father and son of the emperors exchanging pleasantries, Duchess Ryusui continued her explanation.

“Enraku boy must have also been working to his benefit in case the strategy of that Kanna idiot worked at that party. He’s worse than a bat. He’s not wagging his tail to either side, but he’s trying to make a bite into both forces.”

“I think the message is also that it’s useless to probe Duke Kanna any further on this matter. You didn’t get any more information at all, did you?”

“I heard that the tank battalion commander was ‘asked’ by Duke Kanna to keep the tank fire down, but it was not ‘An Order’. Therefore, there is no record of it in the military records.”

“Since around the time of the party, many of the informants in the Imperial City have disappeared. It seems that we were on the back foot.”

There is no credible evidence of Duke Kanna’s involvement in the reports of the chief ministers. It’s all about evasive talk. Everyone made a bitter face, thinking that it would be impossible to pursue the party any further because the Duke’s household was too big to be punished by speculation alone.

Perhaps after all the evidence has been disposed of. They must get wiped out the informers to prevent them from getting even the smallest evidence.

No way, the Emperors made a mistake. They had no idea that some god was behind it. But it was understandable. The timing was too good.

“It’s inevitable. Well, let’s interfere with his next job a little. He’s an opponent who cannot let his guard down. I want to reduce his strength as much as possible. Hey, Sena-kun? Where’s next?”

“Yes, father. According to Masatoshi-san’s estimation, they will do flight testing and druid hunting.”

Sena and the others think Masatoshi’s guess is a message from Duke Aguni. And they also imagined that it was all connected to Duke Kanna’s vicious and devious plot.

They don’t think there is a shred of doubt they’re dealing with someone who has been reincarnated from another world and also knows this world as a novel. Anyone who realizes a reincarnated person is involved should probably go to the hospital. That’s how crazy this story is.

As a result, the people who were too accustomed to conspiracies ended up turning their thoughts to the direction of the day after tomorrow in an extremely serious way.

“Druids,……. Like the neglected Tokyo, so his plan related to the druids now. Ouga, your son is coming back from studying abroad soon, isn’t he? Wouldn’t it be just right for him to be a foil for you to lead the warriors in the future? You should take him on an excursion with our Nagamasa.”

“Understood. Then, I’ll have a small elite men head there so Duke Kanna won’t notice us.”

“Yes, thank you. Ah, please don’t let him do anything too dangerous.”

“I’ll tell him to be careful. When you’re young, you want achievement.”

Ouga nodded with a serious expression at the Emperor’s light tone. Satisfied with his answer, Emperor Touya changes to a serious face and looks around, then changes his tone to the grave and gives his instructions. His appearance was rightly that of a man at the top of Japan, he was standing above others.

“Then, I look forward to your continued success. I believe the people I trust are competent, so I entrusted them to you.”

“Hah!”

Everyone bowed their heads, and this secret meeting ended.
