Now I had a new enemy, a young man who had previously been a fan of mine.
I don't know how to feel about something like that.
Hilda and Romira confessed to us everything that happened with Nolan and told us about their own experiences when talking to Hitogami.
At first, Orsted was openly hostile toward them, but I was able to convince him to listen to what they knew before retaliating.
and Orsted trusts me enough to follow my suggestions
and fence that worked in addition to being somewhat intriguing since it seems that both Hilda and Romira are somehow immune to Hitogami's influence which allowed them to doubt him and not join Nolan.
We decided to have Hilda and Romira start wearing the bracelets that hide them from Hitogami's sight.
at the moment
Orsted, Alek, me, Sylphiette, Roxy, Romira, and Hilda are wearers of those bracelets.
We also decided to keep them in the company with an ultimatum.
-If you ally with Nolan you will die- Orsted said while looking at them with a clear murderous intention that even made me shudder.
"Ah.....and don't let them remove that bracelet at any time," I murmured while looking at them.
They nodded with pale faces and cold sweat.
I felt sorry for them momentarily but it wasn't the time for that now.
..
-Rudy! We heard what happened!- Sylphie said breaking into Orsted's office along with Nana, Lara, and Alek.
"Is that true?...there is a new apostle?" Sylphie asked, looking directly at Orsted.
The most surprising thing is that Orsted was not wearing his helmet.
Although well, I guess after so many decades she and Roxy got used to the curse.
Orsted returned his gaze but without any trace of hostility.
-I'm afraid so, his last appearance was in the sacred land of the sword- Orsted said seriously.
notice Nana and Lara's reactions
Nana was thoughtful and Lara was frowning.
"Do you know who he is?" Nana asked.
"That's the problem....it seems like we met him very closely," I murmured.
At that point, Alek brought more chairs, and Sylphie and Nana sat next to me.
"Who?" Sylphie asked with concern.
-It was Nolan, do you remember the guy who came to the house a few days ago, that guy who was a fan of mine...it was him- I murmured.
Sylphie opened her eyes wide and looked directly at the girls next to me.
-You...you knew it! you knew it!... I let that bastard enter my house!!- Sylphie shouted while pointing a finger at both girls
they just lowered their heads in sorrow
I have no reason to defend them
-Miss Sylphie...at that time we were not involved with Hitogami!- Hilda tried to defend herself without looking at Sylphie
"What do you mean?" Sylphie asked in a calmer tone.
Suddenly in the middle of her own mention, Hilda's eyes widened as if she were putting together a puzzle in her mind.
Suddenly after a moment of hesitation, Hilda looked Sylphie in the eyes.
I swear for a moment that Sylphie looked at Hilda's huge breasts with a trace of envy, although it was momentary...
Hilda suddenly looked at Orsted with all her willpower but quickly regretted it and looked at me instead.
-Mr. Rudeus...I swear in my life that we did not come to Sharia with bad intentions! After...after visiting him that day.....after that day Nolan changed for the worse!- Hilda said in a desperate cry
I didn't know what he was talking about but it seems that Orsted was analyzing what he was saying very well.
"Do you mean that after visiting us Nolan changed overnight?" Sylphie said in a questioning tone.
At that moment I made Sylphie sit down and I made her lean against me, which was effective since she snuggled into me more than necessary, which I didn't think was appropriate for the situation, but since no one said anything I decided not to stop her.
-hmm I see, that bastard Hitogami saw a crack to sneak through and took it without thinking- Orsted said with a smile
"What do you mean, sir?" I asked, intrigued.
-Don't you realize? Hitogami is currently desperate as we see, so desperate as to choose that brat without the slightest sense of caution as an apostle- Orsted said with a smile that seemed chilling to me.
"Ah...I see, you mean that dealing with Nolan will be easy for us, right?" I asked.
-hmmm probably, with Gesee we only discovered that he was an apostle because he admitted it, if that hadn't happened he would have caught us all off guard- Orsted murmured
-But now with Nolan it is different, he is careless, impulsive, immature, and does not know how to plan much less is he meticulous, he left clear evidence in your house and the sacred land of the sword- Orsted meditated
It's true, if he hadn't destroyed Anne or left Orsted Corp so suddenly we wouldn't have discovered him so quickly.
In short, Nolan is a desperate attempt by Hitogami to weaken us
I could tell since I was doing the same strategy as with Gesse.
assembling a team of supervillains against the main hero or something like that
Now that I was in the equation, Hitogami's plan went overboard.
which was a total relief
this gives us a clear idea
If we catch Nolan and stop Laplace before he resurrects, it will only be a matter of time before we defeat Hitogami.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Do you have any photo or portrait of that Nolan guy?" Lara suddenly said, pointing her finger at Hilda and Romira.
"Eh? W-why?" Hilda asked with a murmur.
"Like, what for?! To put an arrest warrant on that idiot all over the world!" Lara said with a frown.
-ah...and I see...-Hilda murmured and I could see that Romira looked sad.
But I couldn't afford to feel bad for them.
"Yes, in fact, we have several photos of him, do you want me to bring them to you now?" Hilda murmured.
-immediately- Orsted said with a serious expression
..
After that time an arrest warrant was issued for Nolan to provide any information on his whereabouts with a reward of 100 gold coins if he was found alive.
first through all the headquarters of the Orsted Corp with teleportation circles and then with the kingdoms around the world
I also contacted all my children and told them to be careful.
We also contacted the sacred land of the sword
-Rudeus, it seems that our pilgrimage around the world is not over- Orsted said in an apologetic tone.
I could only sigh at this
I'll be sure to kick that idiot's ass when I see him!!
