The Story of Demon Hunter
Dragging his Junior
The same day.
Arthur and Daiki sat in the lounge. They sat on a tatami with a short table in front of them. In addition to sake, there were some snacks that accompanied them.
“Do you really have to go tomorrow? Don't want to come to the branch headquarters for a vacation? I guess you guys worked too hard lately, didn't you?”
“Not that I don't want to take a vacation. Actually I was planning to complete three other missions and then take a winter vacation. However, it seems that such a thing cannot be done.”
After saying that, Arthur immediately let out a long sigh. A tired expression appeared on his face. Clearly, it seemed that the plan he had put together was no longer useful.
“Is there a problem? If there is, I will help you. Speak up, didn't you say you treated me like a brother?”
“Not so, Brother Daiki. The thing is, this has something to do with Senior Arima. It seems that he got some trouble, and I was asked to sort it out. Do you really want to help?”
“...”
Daiki. For some reason, he immediately broke out in cold sweat. The man immediately forced a smile on his face.
‘Please don't joke with me, man. I am not happy enjoying life. Absolutely not planning to die in a short time.’
Daiki complained inwardly. Something related to Arima must be dangerous. Even if told to help to fight some creatures, at least they were at the gold level.
Division 9 is a group of people who like to profit and play it safe. If not for the reward obtained from the Frost Wyvern being quite tempting and outweighed by the risk, they had absolutely no intention of doing so.
After all, that was also the reason why they had asked Arthur to come to help.
“Quiet, Sister Daiki. I won't get you involved in this.”
“I'm sorry, Arthur.” Daiki took a long breath.
“It's okay. Other than to help Senior Arima, there is also a reason why I insist on doing so.
You were drunk all night and just woke up this afternoon. Try to check the information provided by great leaders. It seems that the Garden of Death is becoming busier than ever.”
Hearing Arthur's words, Daiki immediately checked his emblem.
After some time to digest the information, Daiki was stunned in place. The man did not seem to believe the information he received. It feels like everything is a dream. Only one word came out of his mouth.
“Crazy.”
Arima, one of the powerful palm figures in the Garden of Death receives a large-scale extermination mission. The request was made by four kingdoms. The desired task was the extermination of the demon clan in the great forest that was located between the four kingdoms.
At first, the preparation went well. However, everything goes awry when the information provided by the four kingdoms turns out to be wrong.
According to the information provided, there was one platinum-level demon and ten gold-star-level demons 7-9. But the reality is really far away.
The enemy had 2 platinum-level demons (the clan head and vice-chairman), 12 gold-level demon generals, and 4 gold-level monsters.
The difficulty almost doubled!
Division 6 and Division 7 work together to carry out the mission, but it ends up in chaos. The 6th Division killed 1 platinum-level demon and 3 gold-level demon generals. The 7th Division suffered heavy losses due to being hit by a trap, but still managed to kill 2 demon generals.
Now Arima is chasing after the demon clan head who is a platinum level demon along with the members of the 6th Division. There were 7 gold-level demon generals and 4 monsters that escaped from there. They spread out in all directions, clearly making a large-scale mess.
Arguably, this disaster occurred because people were too rushed and asked to attack without confirmation of the truth of the information. Therefore, instead of just being hit by a calamity, the four kingdoms had actually received the wrath of the Garden of Death.
Now, another mission is put out, which is to hunt down the demon generals and monsters that escaped. However, the situation is still not optimistic.
Of the 12 enemies, 3 went west, 2 went north, 2 went east, 4 went south.
Other divisions were far from the location. Division 9 and Division 10 were also quite far southeast of the scene center. But due to the demand of the great leader, some divisions ended up giving face and coming to the location closest to them.
The 7th Division suffered enough still to push itself to the east. There were two other divisions that were planning to take part to finish off the demons that were moving north and west.
“You said you wouldn't involve me, Arthur?”
“I didn't involve you, Daiki. It's just, not me, but the great leader who asked us to do it.” Arthur smiled wryly.
Daiki was feeling very depressed. Since joining the Garden of Death, it was extremely rare, there had almost never been such a huge mission. Even if anything, everything must have been handled by Division 1 to Division 6 neatly.
Taking a deep breath, the calmer Daiki said.
“We are in the southeast. However, our position is closer to the east. So I suggested going east and intercepting two demon generals. After that, we finish them off with the help of Division 7.
After that, we move south. Supposedly, the division that took care of the west was finished then and there. We can call them for help. The south can be destroyed by four divisions.
Even if there is no help from the west, I think the three divisions can still destroy 4 gold level enemies, right?”
“...”
“Why are you quiet, Arthur?”
Hearing that, Arthur put on a wry smile. Sipping on sake, the young man said in a melancholic tone.
“That's what I think, Brother Daiki.”
“Then why are you sad?”
“The problem is, if we go east first, the kingdom in the south cannot survive, right? Although it is not our fault, but such a thing cannot be allowed. However, going south is also quite dangerous, I feel a bit reluctant.”
“I know how you feel, Arthur? However, you must strengthen yourself-“
“Not so, Brother Daiki! The thing is, Senior Arima asked me to go south! He also gave several warnings in the letter of request.
The mission reward was excellent, and Senior Arima even gave me an extra reward if he could complete the mission. That kind of thing makes me doubt. Not to mention, the person also said,
‘I believe in your strength, Junior!’
Trust your father's head! That guy told me to take on a mission that might kill me! What if I refuse? Not only did I feel guilty for the deaths of the people in the kingdom, but I was also definitely targeted by that lunatic!
Oye! Isn't he more rebellious and unreasonable than me? Why do I have to be the junior of such a person? It's disgusting!”
Hearing Arthur's words, Daiki broke out in cold sweat for the young man. Targeted Arima is definitely not something good. He was sure that Arthur had also gotten rumors of how that fellow dared to fight fiercely against Division 4 due to some kind of trouble.
There was absolutely no fear of breaking the rules made by the great leader!
“Then, after I finish the enemy in the east, I will help you soon, Arthur.”
“You didn't come directly with me to the south?” arthur asked with a surprised expression.
“Not that I don't want to. Perhaps the 2 enemies in the east were less threatening, but they still endangered the dying 7th Division. You know, the arrogant nobles in Division 7 are really stubborn. They were obviously seriously injured, but were still chasing for reasons of pride.
I'm afraid they're in an accident and Division 7 is wiped out. If such a thing were to happen, everything would become even more chaotic.
Besides, you have incredible strength. Killing one and holding three was absolutely no problem. You can keep those creatures from bringing destruction.
After helping the east, I will drag those foolish nobles south to help you.”
“...”
Hearing that, Arthur was speechless. Although he knew Daiki wanted to run away from trouble, the annihilation of the 7th Division was indeed not allowed to happen. So the young man absolutely could not resist ‘glorious choices’ made Division 9.
Therefore, Arthur could only blame Arima. A senior who likes to drag his junior down to die!
