Chapter 27: Searching for Kermit
"I can't believe Emma turned out to be the villain..."
"Well, your deduction might be slightly incorrect," Marianne said.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"While Emma certainly does unpleasant things, is that truly her desire?"
According to Marianne, it seemed that Emma might not genuinely commit evil deeds of her own accord.
At the very least, Marianne believed that there must be someone assisting her.
Upon hearing this, Aelusdro grew suspicious of the monkey Emma was accompanied by.
"Then we should head to Kermit's place next."
"Why?"
"He's likely the most troublesome one. If we deal with him first, things might work out."
"Is that all?"
There were no objections to Marianne's proposal.
The group set off towards Kermit's mansion.
"Oh, you've done it again, Tiffany."
Thanks to Tiffany, the back entrance of Kermit's mansion was open.
According to the information they received, Kermit had headed towards the basement.
"We're going downstairs. It seems to be a training area..."
As Aelusdro and the others descended to the basement, they found a locked iron door.
"I'll take care of the traps."
Shuu approached the door and attempted to disable the traps.
As a precaution, they also checked for any other traps besides the lock.
Then, they discovered the Cleric Buster, a trap that would attack any strong-willed individual.
"This is bad... Ellie, you might get hit by the attack."
"I'll disable the other trap as well."
Shuu safely disabled the Cleric Buster, and the door leading further opened.
"Let's hurry ahead then."
They continued down the corridor, and soon found a room.
It appeared to be a training area.
The floor was sticky, but there were no other notable features.
"I wonder if there's something hidden in this sticky floor..."
"Let's investigate."
Shuu and Marianne entered the room to assess the situation.
"...Hm?"
Shuu noticed a trap in this room.
The floor was rigged with traps, and it was filled with slimes.
If they hadn't noticed, Aelusdro and the others would have been ambushed by the slimes.
"These annoying slimes need to be taken care of."
Saying that, Shuu readied his two daggers and fought against the slimes with his companions.
However, since they didn't fall for the ambush, they easily succeeded in defeating the slimes.
As the group passed through the training area, they caught sight of a new room.
Sounds resembling those of a factory could be heard from within.
"What are they making in here?"
Upon entering the room, they discovered a large machine.
Creepy blue masses of flesh were flowing in on a conveyor belt, and when the machine operated,
Blue brooches were being produced one after another.
"Whaaat? So this is the raw material for those charm brooches!?"
"It's so disturbing..."
Miro and Yumir were left speechless after witnessing the raw materials and manufacturing process of the charm brooches.
Even for the two who had lived for a long time, this was their first time seeing something like this.
"No doubt, this is an evil item. Ah! Someone is over there!"
Suddenly, Ellie looked over and saw Kermit entranced, gazing at the scene from the back of the room.
Kermit's eyes were filled with madness.
"So beautiful..."
Marianne attempted to capture Kermit in order to hear the details from him.
Kermit must have been careless because he was easily caught.
After Marianne bound Kermit with a rope, she safely removed the charm brooch from him.
Then, Kermit's eyes returned to normal.
It seemed that he had regained his consciousness.
"...! Where am I...?"
"You were making charm brooches under Emma's orders, weren't you?"
Upon hearing Rudolf's words, Kermit nodded.
Kermit had set up the machine that would transform the flesh given to him by Emma into charm brooches, just as she instructed.
"If the charm brooches spread, people all over the world will fall in love with Emma. Regardless of their gender."
"I don't want any of that! Anyway, Kermit, hide yourself in the Nagal region."
"Yeah, thanks for helping me."
And so, Kermit was protected by Marianne and safely became a resident of the Nagal region.
"We need to confiscate these."
"Yeah, let's ask Tiffany to take care of it."
And thus, the mass-produced brooches were seized by Tiffany and her team.
"Now, let's hurry and secure Hivell."
"Understood."
The group set off towards Hivell’s house.
Personally, the villainess character is a bit hard to dislike, you know. That's why I had Marianne take such actions. Next time, we'll go and arrest the final stupid noble.
