The Eminence in the Shadow 142 The b.l.o.o.d.y Demon King who betrayed his dream

They do not have the gold coins to cater to the ma.s.s of people who have come to redeem the bills, there're also some company that close their store and ran away in the middle of the night . Eventually the Knights intervened and forced the bank to open, what little gold coins they have stored inside their bank is very small compared to the banknotes in circulation .

The merchants are captured and severe punishments were given .

What the people who witnessed the collapse of the Great Commerce a.s.sociation did next was to make their way to Mitsugoshi Bank .

The morning after the a.s.sociation collapsed, people were gathered in front of Mitsugoshi Bank in the Capital .

It is said that the number of people gathered was enough to fill the main street of the royal capital .

As the bank open, they grabbed their bill and enter the bank only to be astonished .

There is a huge pile of dazzling gold coins piling up in the big hall .

The clerks responded to the people with a smile, the girls normally do their job against the crowd of people that came in .

They're handing out the gold to each and every person that came to redeem their banknotes .

And by the afternoon of that day, the crowd in front of Mitsugoshi Company almost completely disappeared .

The people who actually redeem their money were only about 30 percent of all the people lined up that day .

The people were relieved to see how Mitsugoshi Company react .

A mountain of gold coins, a smiling and polite clerks and the trust that Mitsugoshi Company had built until now .

That proof immediately ensure their customers who want to exchange their banknotes .

After the collapse of the a.s.sociation the credibility and standing of Mitsugoshi Bank and Mitsugoshi Company are raising up .

Their power was already so great that even a country can't touch them .

If Mitsugoshi Company were to collapse now, the kingdom's economy will also collapse .

After the turmoil, the kingdom regarded the credit system as dangerous . However, the truth is that Mitsugoshi Group and their credit system have brought an unprecedented economic propriety to the kingdom .

The kingdom has setup a talk with the representative of Mitsugoshi Group and Mitsugoshi Bank to make an arrangements about the credit system .

Thus, the series of turmoil has come to an end .

________________________________________________________________

I am digging a hole with a slime scoop .

Since then, I kept digging .

But, why—-has nothing comes out yet .

Why—–I can't get in contact with Yukime .

I have Yukime go and convert the gold coins in the capital and I would dig back the stolen gold coins and it would be a happy end . It was supposed to go like that .

However, the gold coins never come out and I lost contact with Yukime .

Then when I checked, Not only that Mitsugoshi Company's credit hasn't collapse yet but Yukikitsune Company also joined Mitsugoshi Group .

Why .

What happened .

What I know for sure was that my plan has already failed .

If it come to this, then Yukime have no choice but to giving in to Mitsugoshi Group .

Gununu… . .

[Boss, nothing is coming out . ]

Said Delta, who is digging a hole with her hand .

[I'm sure… . I'm sure, it's here . ]

I kept digging while saying so . If I only have to made a hole then I could blow the entire area away but doing so the gold coins would be lost too .

After all, there's no choice but to steadily dig it .

I also have Delta help me dig after she came here following my smel .

[Boss, is this also a cla.s.sified secret mission?]

[Yes, That's why don't tell Alpha and the others okay?]

[Understood . ]

[Delta, this is what called a dying message . ]

[diving message?]

[It's a word left by the dead . I finally come to an understanding with a hated enemy after a battle to the death . What he said was [Yuki(snow)] and he pointed his finger [here] . That mean he buried his precious thing underneath the snow . ]

[Amazing!]

[This is what called reasoning . ]

[Reasoning!!]

Delta is wagging her tail around with dazzling eyes .

[After the digging is over, Boss will do anything I say?]

[Hmm?]

[Boss promised!]

[Hmmmmm?]

[Boss already promised!!]

[Hmmmmmmm?]

[Uu~~]

Delta stared upward at me .

[Sorry sorry I did promised right . ]

[You did!]

[Even if you say I have to do anything you say but—–]

[You said you would!]

[But, there's a limit to what I can do . ]

[But you said you would . ]

It's no good, it is already a pattern that I have to do what she say inside her head .

[Delta, lying is no good you know . I didn't said such a thing . If there's a voice recorder then you would be caught lying you know . ]

[Boysrecorder?]

[It's a weapon of the shadow, if it is activated then the world will come to an end . ]

[Eehh!?]

[You wouldn't like it if the world come to an end right, that's why you shouldn't lie . ]

[Uu~ I don't want the world to end… . b…but Boss did said that…]

Delta has tearful eyes, rather she is on the verge of crying .

[Aaa I understand, I will do my best . Within my ability that is . But Delta, I'm not Santsan so I can't do the impossible you know . ]

[Santsan?]

Delta tilted her head .

[Santa Claus… . the wicked red Demon King who reign the world of shadow . ]

[Demon King!?]

[His costume is b.l.o.o.d.y crimson . He betrays people's dreams and gives them despair, A man wearing a costume dyed with blood… . ]

[That's horrible!]

[Yes, he's horrible . In the past I was also put through a horrendous experience by him . ]

[Boss too!?]

[I have a dream I needed to fulfill no matter what, so I prayed for it each day, but I kept being betrayed again and again . ]

[Dream?]

[I want to become a power in the sha—— No, let's stop . I have decided that I will no longer put the thing that's important to me into word . Anyway, I have been betrayed by him since I was a child and he left a scar in my heart . In other words Delta, what I wanted to tell you is that I can't make a promise to you because I am not like Santsan . ]

Delta somehow looked at my face, blinked her eyes and tilt her head .

[But Santsan didn't do anything? He only betrayed Boss's dream!]

Indeed it was like that .

[Are . ]

[Are!]

[Our talk doesn't make any sense at all . ]

[Doesn't make sense at all . ]

We both tilted our head .

Well fine, I can't promise anything but I will do the best I can .

[Uu~~]

[Now, I'm going on a journey, so until I come back think carefully about what you want to wish for okay?]

[Journey!?]

[Yeah, I am going on a journey to find myself for a little bit...]

Alpha and the others are definitely mad at me, so I need to give them some time to cool down . People's emotions fade with time . in other words I will let time solve the problem .

The school just entered a winter break, Oriana kingdom also seem like it will be in a turmoil soon, should I try infiltrating Oriana kingdom? . I'm looking forward to it .

Once I'm done with that I will meet with Alpha and the others, I will not apologize and act as if nothing happened .

Why? Because I've acquired the strongest secret technique in human relationship skill .

That is—make the other party give up . [Aa, I can't talking sense to him] like that .

No matter what a baby do n.o.body is going to say anything . That mean, if I can lower myself to that level it will all be okay .

But I have to be careful, that secret technique is a double edged sword .

Why? The reason is that if the plan worked it will count as both my victory and defeat .

[That's enough, Thank you for helping me Delta . ]

My plan failed . Thinking about it now even if I can get all the gold back I wouldn't become a power in the shadow anyway .

[With that said, I am going on a journey ! so, see you soon . ]

[Ah, Boss! Something came out—–!]

I heard delta called me from behind, but as to not let her state her [wish] I dashed away at full power .

Speaking of which, Today is December 24th . The first time Santa betrayed me was also a snowy night like this .

Haah…It seem like I can't become [A POWER IN THE SHADOW] once again .
