Chapter 80.2. Duke Kanna’s Miscalculation

-Duke Kanna’s POV-

“I didn’t expect Loki to betray us. How many jobs were they working on at the same time? I heard that they’re also trying to kidnap a girl who is a recovery magician.”

“We don’t know who asked Loki to kidnap Takano Miu. Or rather, there are too many suspects to narrow down the list.”

“She’s a commoner without power or fortune. Moreover, she’s a girl who is likely to be able to use powerful recovery magic in the future. Many people in both the front and back worlds would think of kidnapping her to get her. We don’t need to pursue the matter of Takano Miu anymore.”

“Yes, I am honored, Duke.”

Either way, he can’t reach her anymore. The girl is now the head of Takano County. Even if we tried to kidnap her, she has the power of the family. It’s now much more difficult than before. It’s better to leave her alone. In any case, what Duke Kanna is after is Genshin Sena.

He won’t do anything nonsensical to kidnap and try to kill her. Without being able to use her on the surface, the value of a recovery magician would drop dramatically, and the disadvantages of being exposed would be too great. The person who tried to kidnap her must have been either a fool who did not consider the demerit of being a viscount or a group of backstage miscreants.

Losing interest, he forgets about Takano Miu and talks further with his subordinates.

“Did Genshin Sena and my son get along?”

“Yes, I would say moderately. It seems that before Shin-sama saved him, a legitimate son of Duke Aguni saved her, and there are rumors that they’re playing incognito with that eldest son.”

“It went well until he bribed the maid of honor to lead Genshin Sena to the commoner’s side, but after that, it was different from the plan.”

When scissors mantis stampede wreaked havoc, the Teijo Marquisate lost influence due to inadequate security. Duke Kanna, who moved to help people during the chaos, was supposed to increase his influence.

Genshin Sena also created a pinch due to her training wizard, and he planned to help her at that time. He also told his son he should help her when he was working with the princess. Duke Kanna had also given him a magic tool for this purpose. He didn’t seem to activate it, but if he could activate it, he could save her successfully. He thought that if he could help her successfully, he would be more favorable to him.

But it all went wrong. The bribed tank battalion commander struggled unexpectedly, so there was no chaos, and Teijo Maquisate could go to the commoners’ section to rescue them.

If Duke Kanna had been asked to defend the noble section just in case, he couldn’t refuse. If he had forced himself to go to the commoner section, the emperor would suspect him.

He should have bribed the tank battalion commander more firmly, but he didn’t go that far because he thought he was lazy and the type to flatter superiors. Partly because he didn’t want him to think he was involved, to lay the blame on him later.

He never expected the tank commander to make such a wise decision. He thought he was an incompetent fat pig, but he guess he could say guess he was a member of the ancient Sakuma family.

He stopped thinking about his failure and spoke of what was to come.

“How about laying the groundwork for the Susanoo unit?”

“The establishment itself is likely to be possible. However, it’s not likely to be a unit independent of the military or the warriors. With the Emperor’s prestige so high at the moment, none of the nobles have responded favorably.”

The negative report from his subordinate, who shook his head emphatically, didn’t frustrate Duke Kanna as he had expected.

“It’s impossible for us to be an independent unit. It’s also impossible to make them powerful. We have no choice, we’ll aim to put it under the direct control of the military.”

“I’m sure the Teijo Marquisate and other nobles will spearhead it..”

“I’m sure they’ll see it as a danger, and they’ll put in a watchdog as well. I don’t think personnel will be limited to those I’ve worked with.”

Susanoo’s unit. It’s a unit independent of both the military and the warriors to hunt monsters. It was to be an elite unit under Duka Kanna’s direct control. It’s a unit he had planned to use to defeat political opponents who stood in his way.

That seems to be impossible. However, if he puts it under the direct control of the army, he might be able to give it more power later. He was going to set it up.

“Whatever it is, it won’t all work. …… If Solomon has been destroyed, does that mean the dungeon stampede is no longer possible?”

The plan was also to have Solomon cause stampedes in dungeons around the country to foil the Susanoo unit, but that was impossible as well.

“There’s something wrong with everything… Speaking of which, did you find the group that attacked the ant dungeon?”

Duke Aguni is the secret owner of the ant dungeon. Duke Kanna was secretly trying to bring down Duke Aguni. He had planned to use it for a stampede one day, but that has been conquered and is now impossible.

“I can’t find that either… It’s, you know, been a little crazy lately.”

“Crazy?”

“Yes. One after another, the crimes of the informants behind the scenes have been discovered and arrested recently. They’ll probably go to jail for at least a few years. Information is rapidly becoming hard to come by in Tokyo today.”

Backroom informants, including hackers, are committing no small number of crimes. They’re being found and arrested more and more often.

.

“An informant… Did some big organization come to Tokyo?”

Duke Kanna was attacked by vague anxiety. Something is wrong. Yggdrasil… No, those who claim to be Nidhogg Titans? For that reason, the method is different from before. It’s sophisticated.

“I don’t understand. We have no choice. We’ll rethink our future strategy. Also, perhaps some organization has entered Japan. Start investigating.”

“Ha! Understood!”

With his subordinate saluting and leaving the room by his side, he tapped his fingers on the desk.

“I don’t know which organization it is, but I will make them pay for interfering… Besides, my ambitions willn’t be crushed just because one operation failed.”

His narrow eyes widened slightly, and Duke Kanna Yamato sneered.
