Chapter 255 – State of Emergency

“Alright, this size should be good enough.” (Bouchi)
I landed in the middle of the island.

The size of the island wasn’t very different from Joysprout Island, but it was an island with only gentle, rolling hills and mostly flat land. There also wasn’t much vegetation, which made it super cheap.

It still ended up costing me ¥15,000,000. But by now, I didn’t consider that kind of expense painful to me anymore.

I teleported back to Belzedor’s location.

“Ah! Don’t show up out of nowhere like that! You scared me!” Oremia exclaimed in a somewhat exaggerated-sounding level of surprise.

“Belzedor, Oremia, I’m going to take you there now. Is that alright?” (Bouchi)
“Yes, I don’t mind.” (Belzedor)
“I’m cool with it too. I’m excited to see the place! It’d be the best if there were strong guys there!” (Oremia)
Sorry, Oremia. It’s kind of a creature-free zone at the moment, so I’m not sure it’ll meet your expectations.

This time, I teleported with Belzedor and Oremia back to the island I had just purchased.

“―?! Hohoh, well, well… There’s… nothing here.” (Belzedor)
“What the heck, there’s seriously no one here, huh?” (Oremia)
“It’s more convenient that way. If there was anyone around, a conflict might break out.” (Bouchi)
“I’d prefer that though.” (Oremia)
“Sorry, but you’ll have to find your sparring partner on your own. Belzedor, is this place alright?” (Bouchi)
“Hmm… The ocean is nearby. It’s a bit empty, but it seems that I’ll be able to spend my time in a peaceful and relaxing manner.” (Belzedor)
It seemed to be to his liking.

It was unlikely that anyone would come here, and even if the encroachment started again, the damage would be minimal. If that happened, well, sorry to those living in the ocean.

“Bouchi, I am free to use this island, right?” (Belzedor)
“Hm? Well… Yes, of course.” (Bouchi)
“Mm. Then…” (Belzedor)
Suddenly, the barren plains were transformed into lush greenery, and trees and grass began to sprout and take root.

In a few breaths of time, the entire island, several thousand square meters in area, was transformed into a dense jungle.

I-Incredible… If he wanted to spread the jungle of his own will, this is how fast it would be, huh?

If he had used this power in the city, Japan would have been reshaped into a forested country in a matter of days.

The ability to change the entire landscape in the blink of an eye… As expected of an S-Rank Monster. Even having half of this power was way too overpowered.

“All good now. I’m settled in.” (Belzedor)
“Geezer’s island… That means it’s my island too! Then let’s get to it, Kaza! Let’s have a good battle! We’ll definitely be able to go wild here!” (Oremia)
“Do you have any objections, milord?” (Kaza)
“It’s fine if you want to, Kaza. Belzedor, are you alright with this?” (Bouchi)
“Well, if the forest is destroyed, I can just immediately regenerate it again.” (Belzedor)
What a useful ability.

“Then Kaza, let me give you this just in case.” (Bouchi)
I handed him some life-saving items, including a [Teleportation Crystal]. This way, at least he wouldn’t die.

“We’re going back to Sayuri’s place. For now, I’ll have Sol stay here just in case. Sol, let me know right away if anything happens.” (Bouchi)
“Leave it to Sol!” (Sol)
Sol lifted her wing into an adorable salute.

“Come on, come on! What are you doing, Kaza! Let’s go!” (Oremia)
“It seems he is waiting, so I will be going ahead.” (Kaza)
With that, I parted ways with Sol and Kaza. After assuming the form of Torimoto Kentaro, I returned to the base of the Maiden’s Rebirth Order.

But if I returned directly to my room, I might come into contact with someone other than the [Copy Doll] that was disguised as Torimoto Kentaro. I gave the [Copy Doll] instructions not to invite anyone in until I returned, but some of those guys could be pretty pushy, so I decided to teleport into the closet of my room.

Naturally, Shiki was hidden in my shadow, and the closet was big enough for me alone. After teleporting into the closet, I decided to peek out and look around.

…No one’s here?

Just in case, I had given the [Copy Doll] instructions to not go out if at all possible, so it felt like something was out of place. If the [Copy Doll] had received a strong impact, it would turn back into a doll.

At that very moment, I heard a gunshot.

What? A gunshot?

There were screams and shouts coming from outside. Clearly, something out of the ordinary had occurred.

What in the world is going on?

I immediately left the closet and looked outside through the window. What I saw left me shocked.

There were men with guns invading, firing at the followers.

The followers also had weapons in hand and were fighting back, but many had already died. The scene was like a painting from hell.

“What is happening… Who are those guys?” (Torimoto)
“Milord, there is someone approaching.” (Shiki)
“What?” (Torimoto)
I pressed myself up against the wall and decided to wait. A man kicked down the door with tremendous force and came in, gun at the ready.

“…Hah? No one’s here? Tch, looks like this place was a miss too.” (Man)
I decided it was a good opportunity, so I ordered Shiki to restrain him, but not knock him unconscious.

Shiki leapt out of my shadow and pinned him down from behind.

“Gyaaah…! W-What the hell?!” (Man)
I ignored the man’s confusion and closed the door while telling Shiki to drag the man further in.

Now that he couldn’t move, I decided to start questioning him.
