Chapter 86.1
Chapter 86.1. Zephyrus
-???’s POV-
Zephyrus was fighting a battle to torture the Kongo party. His real name is Takano Arashi. Until recently, he was the man who was the next head of Takano County.
Zephyrus’ name was chosen by him arbitrarily because it is related to the origin of Anemoi. His name comes from the mythical god of the wind.
“Zephyrus. My name is Zephyrus. Hahaha, that’s good, that’s good! I am a god! All you fly buzzing around, I am the god Zephyrus!”
Arashi laughs as he spreads his red Anemoi wings and flies at high speed through the air, saying it’s a perfect name for him. That’s his life. It’s ridiculous that he’s been dealing with these flies, noisily buzzing about management, deficits, and the fact that they were important business partners. Why does he need to do that?
Arashi is a wind magician. But he has studied business administration from an early age. He’s a competent manager.
He got a fancy Italian restaurant to add ramen to its menu. For some reason, the sales price per person and the number of customers decreased.
A chain of family restaurants stopped offering a drink bar. Selling one drink at a time would have been far more profitable, but his subordinates were fools. The number of customers also decreased.
Then, they cut labor costs in the pubs and fired employees. It was supposed to be a surefire way to increase profits. But it must have been a conspiracy to bring down Arashi. Many part-timers quit, the izakaya chain lost a lot of money when they were short-staffed, and the service was poor.
From then on, he thought of ways ordinary people would not have thought and fired executives who were too loud. He also cut off suppliers who were kind enough to express their opinions. The dramatic management strategy should have resulted in a steady increase in sales, but instead, the company ran up a huge deficit.
He tilted his head and wondered why, thinking that someone was getting in the way, but only recently did he finally understand. A kind friend told me. He didn’t remember his name, but he was a baron who was rescued by Arashi a long time ago. He tells me about him when we were drinking in a bar after he had been disinherited and had no bodyguards.
He said, [It’s all because of Yoshiyuki].
It seems his trash’s younger brother, who can’t use magic, was secretly laying the groundwork behind the scenes to take revenge. He’s a cunning guy. He must have been working with Duchess Ryusui as well. That old hag was kind enough to suggest he showed him the power of the head of Takano County at the party, but when he showed him his power at the party, she betrayed him.
When he told me it was all Yoshiyuki’s scumbag fault, I felt right at home. And along with the anger, a calm part of me spoke to me.
That I, a powerful magician, wasn’t good at political battles and scheming. It was my way to sit back and display my mighty power. Sneaking around and acting behind the scenes like a winged insect was impossible from the start.
Once he realized this, the rest was easy.
“It was wrong for me, the best wind magician, to be bothered with such a trivial matter! My magic shines only in battle!”
He was furious when removed as the next head of the family, but he doesn’t think so now. On the contrary, he can even thank the emperor and the little girl. he’ll kill the little brat who set me up and happened to be lucky enough to get the holy attribute.
That’s why he was aiming for today. He was planning to kill Yoshiyuki and the others who came to the mansion by secretly using the magic armor Anemoi, which incorporates Takano County’s secret treasure, Wing of Anemoi. Before leaving the mansion, he wanted to say sorry, so he bowed his head, which he did not want to bow, and entered the mansion with a load of money. He then waited for Yoshiyuki and the others to visit.
However, a servant who had not given them the money happened to notice the hidden Anemoi and began to make a fuss, so he had no choice but to accelerate his plan. Luckily, Yoshiyuki and the others were already right in front of the mansion, and he laughed, saying God loved him.
“You fallen ex-noble!”
A female magician with a shield raised her axe and attacked, but she couldn’t keep up with this Anemoi with the speed of a commercial float board.
“Fool! I’ve left the aristocratic framework myself! My magic only shines on the battlefield!”
There is no way that the axe of a stupid big woman who isn’t accustomed to three-dimensional combat will hit anything. This Wing of Anemoi has wings, but it doesn’t float by the power of its wings. The treasure itself gives it flight ability. And its ability to do any acrobatic movement is possible.
He deliberately takes a half step to avoid the axe. The sound of the buzzing of the insects is music to my ears. The other friends also thrust out their spears and shot arrows at me, but I hit them just before they crossed my small arms and bounced them back.
“Damn! This guy’s pretty good!”
“Of course it is! He’s a mercenary Zephyrus-sama of the battlefield, come on!”
The name Zephyrus fits. Here, here was where he was to live. From now on, he would live as he pleased. His heart dances with joy. My heart is elated.
I will kill them, kill my stupid brother and the little one. After that, I will live as a mercenary. I can make as much money as I want. My kind friends have already made arrangements to shelter me. I’m free to go.
“Well, the fun is over!”
He doesn’t want to drain his mana on this opponent. And he wants to use another hidden treasure that he’s only been able to use a few times before.
He takes the hidden treasure from his hip pocket and shows it to the axe-holding woman.
“Hmm? What’s that?”
The big woman frowned when she saw the magic, but her expression was bewildered. Those who see this for the first time will indeed be puzzled.
Zephyrus took out a feather broom about 10 cm long. It was a small feather broom, perfect for removing eraser shavings. The old-fashioned feather broom had a beautiful emerald inlaid at the tip, but that was all. If only it didn’t contain powerful magic that would make a magician frown if they saw it.
