Chapter 888

[My ko-fi link:- https://ko-fi.com/punisher87 ]

Kinzelo New Headquarters.

Since the day Orgal provided support at the defensive wall, Yona had been infiltrating the land of Kinzelo after leaving the Lutero Magic Federation.

"Kukuk, Lady Ainas! Please take a look at this. It's a giant ant! The giant ant we've been searching for has finally shown itself."

"Wow, Bubare. A real giant ant...! It's huge! It's almost the size of a forearm, right?"

Of course, the actual size of the ant was about half an inch.

"Let's report this to the leader."

"Hehe, alright, Bubare! Surely we'll be rewarded handsomely for this!"

Seeing the two people sitting in the front yard of the new headquarters every day watching ants, Yona became curious.

'What exactly are those foolish guys doing here in Kinzelo?'

She clearly knows about Bubare's role. With his ability called 'Sculpting,' he created various artifacts, including Demon's God's Orb, and thanks to that, he always received special treatment no matter how foolish his actions were.

But Ainas Kaligo really did nothing.

She only had a high status as Bianca Kaligo's sister and the princess of the Kaligo family. Aside from those facts, Ainas seemed like nothing more than surplus manpower.

'Hehe, I hope I can gather some information today that the youngest would like.'

While Yona's energy waned further, Bubar and Aynas sealed the ant in a glass jar.

"Hahaha."

"Kikikiki. What reward will we receive?"

Although the two fools of Kinzelo were oblivious, Yona was aware that Orgal was not in the headquarters at the moment. Earlier that morning, Yona had roamed the inside of the headquarters and verified that Orgal and Zephyrin had gone somewhere through a steel door.

Therefore, within the headquarters, there was absolutely no one capable of recognizing the stealth of Yona.

'If I were to enter the meeting room, the only dangerous ones would be Bianca, white wolf meat, and red tiger meat.'

Bianca, Berakt, Badray.

Yona thought about these three for a moment before deciding to enter the meeting room. The potential risks were worth taking to acquire new information.

Of course, Bubare and Ainas, who were closely followed by Yona, remained entirely unaware of her presence. This was true for the numerous beastmen and demons they encountered on the way to the meeting room as well.

"Leader!"

"I can finally show you the giant ant!"

The two of them energetically shouted as they entered the meeting room. Bishkel touched his forehead as he saw them, and the other executives sighed and raised their hands.

During this time, Yona hid behind a pillar in the meeting room. It was the most dangerous moment.

'Heh, if those foolish meats hadn't briefly caught their attention, I might have been caught. It seems that white wolf meat and red tiger meat aren't around.'

While most of the key high-ranking figures like Orgal and Zephyrin were absent, Yona wasn't entirely sure about the exact battle prowess of the executives gathered in the meeting room, so even Yona was a little nervous.

Fortunately, the executives present didn't seem to notice anything unusual and were engrossed in reprimanding Bubare and Ainas.

"A giant ant? You said giant ant? What are we supposed to do with such a thing? Bubare, how long are you going to keep prying into my affairs...?"

"Huh, Sir Bishkel. What are you so frustrated about? Didn't the leader say that if we brought something like an ant the size of a forearm, you would reward us."

"That's right, Vice Leader!"

"Well... is that so? Isn't it just an excuse because the leader was frustrated with the actions of you, Ainas."

"What are you talking about? Seriously, what? Are you deciding things on your own based on your mood just because the Leader isn't around?"

"Ha, that ant wasn't even the size of a forearm to begin with."

"That's just a figure of speech, you know that, right? Where's the Leader?"

"The Leader is currently meeting with the Red Plutonian Tribe."

Good information had already come in.

'Hehe, he went to meet the Red Plutonian Tribe.'

Yona continued to listen with a sly smile. Bishkel was trembling and sighing heavily.

"Hey, Ainas. We're in an important meeting, so get out of here."

"What's it to you whether I leave or stay, Ranke?"

"Is that so, you want to fight?"

"Heh, a challenge? I'll take it any time."

Ranke stood up abruptly but then suppressed his anger.

"Enough, forget it. If I hit you, it'll only cause trouble..."

"If you're afraid my sister will find out, there's no need. Don't worry, I won't tell her."

"Do you think I'm afraid of Bianca? If I were to strike you, the Chief of the dreamwalkers would kill me."

[T/L: Changing dreamwalker to dreamwalker]

Upon hearing the term 'Chief of dreamwalkers,' Yona recalled the information Jin relayed to her.

-[Understood. I will look for information related to Shagal Bachma, whom the lord young patriarch subdued at the New Headquarters. He belongs to the dreamwalker Family.]

In that case, the Chief of dreamwalker must have been the patriarch of the Bachma family.

Ainas screamed in a huff as if her pride was hurt.

"Even my father wouldn't interfere! You are really pissing me off!"

It was the moment when it was revealed that Ainas Kaligo is the daughter of the Bachma family's patriarch. And then, as the meeting room doors swung open, a new figure entered.

"Ranke, did you dare to harm my daughter?"

"Chief of dreamwalkers, it's not like that. Ainas challenged me to a fight."

"I see."

"Have you come, Sir Pirops?"

Pirops Bachma, that was the name of the chief of dreamwalkers.

"Yes. You've been through a lot, Vice Leader."

"Sir Pirops, what you've been doing lately is no small matter."

Yona was getting more and more excited. After entering the meeting room just once, she was already being flooded with valuable information.

However, as Pirops entered, a sudden surge of tension also came over her.

'That "Chief of dreamwalkers" they call would probably sense me quickly.'

The only fortunate thing was that Pirops seemed exhausted. If Pirops had been in good condition, he would have immediately suspected something.

'I can only hope that the Chief of dreamwalkers won't stay in the meeting room for long and will leave. Hehe, my heart is racing after a long time.'

Soon enough, Yona was able to hear the reason behind Pirops' exhaustion.

"That's right, it's quite a bit of work. People who are not part of my tribe may not understand, but peering into someone's dreams is truly tormenting... You can easily get lost in someone else's dream. In fact, this time, the three dreamwalkers, who entered the dreams of the Zipfel leaders, still haven't returned."

Upon hearing those words, Yona immediately realized how Kinzelo had acquired information about Zipfel recently.

-The information about Elona was likely obtained through something other than a trade, Lord.

-I think the same way. The fact that they have some breathing room despite the invasion of the True Demon World... Let's gradually find out what tricks they have up their sleeves. Jet, contact Nameless and request to send elder sister Yona to the Kinzelo side. Since we can't break through to Elona's side anyway, it's better to investigate the Kinzelo side.

-Yes, my lord!

-One thing for sure is that there is something in Kinzelo that must not be revealed to the True Demon World right now.

After Orgal decided to support the defensive wall, there was a conversation among Jin and his companions. 

At that moment, Jin was puzzled about how Orgal had learned about Elona's injury. Yona was currently glimpsing into that secret.

"Will those three ever regain consciousness?"

"Unless I personally rescue them, they won't. The demons with dream abilities are very rare even among our tribe, so they must be rescued. That means I'll have to enter Elona Zipfel's dream again."

"I apologize for not being able to help."

"What would you have to apologize for, Vice Leader? Ainas, my lovely daughter, I only hope that you awaken your dream ability soon and help your father."

"Oh, I prefer swords like the Kaligos. Swords are much cooler than dream abilities! Just like Sister Bianca."

"Oh, Ainas... You have about as much talent with a sword as Bianca's nail. Even an ordinary human who has been training with a sword for about ten years could probably beat you. On the other hand, with dream abilities, you could surpass even me if you develop them to their fullest."

"Ugh, how can you say such harsh things, Dad."

"We need your dream abilities for our great cause. With my abilities, infiltrating Lokia Ganesto's dreams is quite difficult. So stop being stubborn and follow your father. Throughout history, demons with dream ability have always been treated in the highest regard."

The potential to surpass even the Chief of dreamwalkers in dream abilities, that was the value Ainas Kaligo held in Kinzelo.

"Ugh, last time, when you practically begged me, so I reluctantly entered Kelliark's dream. It was not really fun at all back then. How can you ask me to do that for a lifetime?"

"Only you were born with that level of ability, Ainas. If you keep refusing your father's requests, the Leader will have to give you orders. I hope nothing like that happens between me and my daughter. Rather, Ranke... you brat! How dare you threaten my daughter?"

"No, chief of dreamwalkers, that's not what happened!"

"Die, die, you brat!"

For a moment, the sound of Pirops beating Ranke could be heard. Yona's eyes widened as she recalled the information she had just heard.

'So Kinzelo has already made contact with Kelliark Zipfel through dreams?'

The moment Yona thought this. Suddenly, Pirops narrowed his eyes and halted his fist that was reaching towards Ranke.

'Hehe, was I caught...'

Yona couldn't see Pirops as she was behind a pillar, but she sensed a change in the atmosphere.

"Sir Pirops?"

"Shhh, I have a feeling... as if there's a little mouse hiding somewhere."

"A mouse?"

"Hmm, maybe not? Anyway, everyone, stop moving. Don't even breathe, let's search the meeting room."

Pirops slowly began to survey the meeting room. The distance between Yona, hidden behind the pillar, and Pirops was about fifty paces. Any slight movement would have exposed her.

Even if she stayed still, she would inevitably be caught within about ten seconds. Yona put her hand on her sword 'Death'.

Suddenly, just as Pirops was about to move towards the pillar.

Unexpectedly, someone hurriedly entered the meeting room.

"What's going on?"

"Vice Leader, chief of dreamwalkers! Miss Margiella is rampaging!"

As soon as Pirops received the report from his subordinate, he turned around without a moment's hesitation. It seemed like a matter that couldn't be delayed even for a second.

"Ainas, come with me!"

"I am also coming!"

After Pirops and Bishkel left, Yona released her grip on the hilt of the sword.

High-ranking members, including Ranke, searched the meeting room thoroughly, but with their abilities, they couldn't find and capture Yona.

'Hehe, that was a close call... I should quickly go and inform the youngest."

About twenty minutes later, Yona left the headquarters, humming a tune.
