Chapter 171: Talking To Yale
"WWWHHHHAAAATTTTT!!!!!"
"Ssshh…" Albert tried to stop him from shouting even though his reaction was as he expected.
"Teacher! Do you know what your statement implies?" Yale gritted his teeth. The headache became even stronger.
"Something like the braves?"
Yale covered his eyes while answering, "Yes. In the past, only humans could summon the braves. They only summon them if they are in a perilous situation like fighting against the demons.
"That's why they're called the braves… They're the savior of humanity. If you truly come from another world, that means you are the first demon from another world. Just like the braves, you're basically similar to a savior of the Demon Kingdoms.
"There are various meanings like the demons are actually in a dangerous situation or the demons are preparing for human's annihilation. Either way, the other Demon Kingdoms will try to control you.
"And if they learn about the fact you have trained two anomalies while being an anomaly yourself… I can't imagine what they will do." Yale let out a long sigh.
"Ugh. Somehow, I'm sorry." Albert never expected there were so many things that needed to be considered. He realized why Yale was so frustrated when he heard the truth.
He realized he never measured his own worth.
"No, there's no need for Teacher to apologize." He shook his head. "This is not your fault. Even the braves are 'kidnapped' from another world. So, it's not within your control. It's just your existence itself is a bit troublesome."
"Yeah. After listening to you, I noticed how ignorant I was."
"I could think like that because I was a former royalty. I know what's going on within the family and your worth. That's all." Yale sighed. "Anyway, I can accept your engagement with Lilith.
"Although it looks like she wants to marry you because she sees you as an asset, she also wants to protect you. Just by declaring you are hers already makes other demon kingdoms hesitate from controlling you. The humans might aim at your life, but Lilith should be enough to give you some protection.
"So, why does she want to marry you anyway?" Yale asked, wondering if Lilith explained her real intention or not.
Albert thought for a moment and said, "She didn't say anything, but from my perspective, I haven't experienced the so-called love even in my previous world. Well, I don't want to explain much about my life, but yeah, it's quite tragic. As for Lilith, she doesn't have someone who can see her as a normal woman. They'll always be charmed by her.
"I'm the only one who can do that. And I think she also respects my decision and stuff, so I think I will try to find what I couldn't in my previous life? That's the gist of why I agreed to the engagement." Albert explained with a calm expression.
"I see. With your status as a 'brave' of the demons, you're qualified to marry Lilith. Who knows about your identity for now?"
Albert recalled for a moment and pointed at him. "You and Lilith. Though, in Lilith's case, she deducted everything."
"I see." Yale thought for a moment. "I guess we need to hide your status for the time being. Unlike the braves, I don't think your summoning is something official like the heroes. So, who summoned you?"
"I am not very sure. The next thing I realized, I already came to this world."
"As expected, this means you're still an unknown entity. If they're aware of your real status, the situation will become even more troublesome. For now, it's better to hide it. Since you're engaged to Lilith, there's no way she's spreading that information… At least for now."
"Lilith knew a long time ago."
"Kh. How smart is that woman?" Yale gritted his teeth. He had some pride in his brain, and with how close he was with Albert, he should have known this earlier than her. To think Lilith could deduct Albert's identity this fast, she was unfathomable.
"Rather than intelligent, I think it's her feeling. She knew something weird about my appearance and investigated it?"
"Anyway, I know everything now. At the very least, Lilith seems to be serious about you. So, in the worst-case scenario, we can seek refuge in the Lust Kingdom."
"Yeah." Albert also came to the same conclusion after listening to Yale's words. He knew he wasn't that smart, especially since he never had formal education on Earth. This made him rely on Yale and Shella.
Yale truly excelled in politics as he considered every aspect of his identity to the implications. Meanwhile, Shella was smart enough to decipher his Bonk power as Albert didn't mention anything about the system itself.
"By the way, is the reason why Teacher wants to participate in the war is because of this engagement?"
Albert shook his head. "I already thought about going there before the engagement. And after I found out about the brave coming to the battlefield, I think I should deal with him… Of course, I still haven't thought of myself as a savior of the demons."
Yale frowned when he heard about Albert's answer. "But the moment you participate in the war, you can be branded as someone from the Lust Kingdom. This is especially true when your opponent is the hero."
"I know. But this is something I need to do." Albert nodded. "Most of the time, I will just stay in the rear and bonk the demons together with all of you. When the hero comes, I'll head there to handle the hero myself. After that, I think I will return to the rear.
"After it's done, we'll go to another town near the Gluttony Kingdom. That's my plan. What do you think?"
"I don't have any problem with that. Depending on the situation, you need to prepare yourself from being targeted."
"I know. Anyway, our interference will greatly improve the demons, so I think they'll be the main focus. As long as we can stay quiet about our power, we can disappear without anyone noticing."
"Stay quiet… After bonking thousands of people, do you think it's that easy for us to stay low?"
Albert smiled and said, "I have a plan."
"Hmm?"
"I will tell Lilith to send Raisa to greet us not far from the camp. After that, she will bring us without anyone noticing and have her prepare a few tents for us under the pretense we're a reinforcement from the kingdom."
Yale looked down and contemplated for a moment before understanding Albert's plan. "I see. We're going to pretend to be mysterious."
"Yes. And we can ask them to wear a blindfold for the treatment. And no one can come in. Although our bonk will be quite rough, we can use that to bonk them to the outside to tell them the treatment is over. If there's someone strong and horny, we can use the Horny Jail to reap all the benefits."
After hearing more about his plan, Yale couldn't help but agree. There was one big reason.
Bonk wouldn't injure someone as long as they didn't hit them too hard. After all, the bat would be the one wounding them, not the bonk force generated after that.
After the treatment, the demons wouldn't care about the charm of the succubus anymore. So, the succubus could charm the enemy soldiers while other demons attack them. This way, the Lust Kingdom will get a huge advantage.
This was Albert's plan. Not only could he bonk thousands of people, but he could also remain anonymous.
It was a simple yet effective plan. Although some areas could be improved further, he didn't have any problem in following this plan.
"I see. The only problem is how to exit the tent when the hero appears." Yale raised the biggest doubt in this plan.
"From what I know, the hero will bring women with him. So, I might need Jessie and the others to help me." Albert nodded, thinking about it.
"Well, we can use the darkness to exit. And tell them that we're tired and need some rest. I believe everything can be settled within a day, no?"
"Indeed."
"One last question. Do you plan on taking the braves to the jail?"
"Hmm. I haven't thought about it." Albert shook his head.
"In that case, please don't 'kidnap' them."
"Why?"
"After getting summoned, the braves split into five kingdoms. We're facing against the Risourin Kingdom, so we might need to face the Great Sage. But we're still not aware whether other braves will participate or not. Seeing the situation, it won't be weird for the hero to join.
"If we eliminate both of them… or at least kidnap them for more than a day, the human side will become crazy. There's a chance they will lose their minds and start slaughtering the people on our side without thinking about the consequences. As I said earlier, the 'brave' status is far higher than you think."
Albert considered Yale's advice seriously. He nodded and said, "Okay. I'll just bonk them until I can't get any more EXP and leave them. I might even use a mask and robe to hide my appearance."
"Yes. Depending on the situation. For now, we can ask Raisa to give us the information."
"Indeed."
"I guess that's all. When will we leave?"
"There are a few preparations, and we also need to give Raisa time to respond… So, I guess we'll leave in four days."
"Understood. In the meantime, I'll try to polish our plans a bit to make sure it's flawless."
"Thank you as always, Yale."
"No problem, Teacher."
