[MHCISQD] Chapter 357: Information
🕑 Added 2023-08-10 20:44:48 +0000 UTCRenault hadn't expected Kaijin to be so spineless. It seemed that Shocker hadn't managed to defeat the Riders until now, and there was a reason for it.
With a smile on his face, Renault nodded. "Of course, as long as you tell me everything you know, I promise to spare you any harm. But if you utter a single lie, don't blame me. Understand?"
"Got it! Got it!"
Mummy Kaijin vigorously nodded, then began to recount the details.
As Renault had guessed, shortly after the Shocker Organization arrived in this world, they immediately encountered the League of Villains and clashed with them.
Then, with the intervention of the 'Doctor', the fighting ceased, and they began to cooperate. Shocker lent some of its combat soldiers to the League of Villains, and in return, the League of Villains provided assistance when needed.
Their first collaboration was to choose a base for the Shocker Organization in this world, which aligned with Renault's speculation.
"Well then, tell me, where is your base located?"
"Um..."
"You're not going to tell, right?" Renault's smile remained as his right hand slowly rose, fingers curling in a slow motion, black energy flickering at his fingertips, making Mummy Kaijin visibly tense.
He knew that this power was what had sliced Spider Kaijin in half just moments ago; the body was still lying there as a testament.
"I... I only know it's underwater, in the sea area off Tokyo Bay, at a distance from the actual bay. Only a few of the executive members know the exact coordinates! I swear, I'm not lying!"
After hearing this, Renault glanced at Tsukasa standing nearby.
Tsukasa nodded. "This should be true. Shocker's hierarchy is very strict. member like him hasn't reached the level of casually entering the base unless summoned."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Mummy Kaijin nodded desperately. "When we went to that base, we were directly teleported. The same happened when we came out. I just heard the Doctor's description and got a rough idea of the location!"
Seeing that the fellow didn't seem to be lying, Renault moved on to the next question.
"So, which executive members from your group came this time?"
"Dr. Shinigami, and Ambassador Hell... the Great Leader also came..."
Tsukasa looked surprised. "I didn't expect these three. Even the deceased Ambassador Hell has been resurrected, and instead of going after Rider No. 1, he came for me?"
Mummy Kaijin explained, "I'm just an underling. But I heard that Great Leader discovered Decade's presence in this world and saw an opportunity for Shocker to grow stronger."
Presumably, it had to do with the unique powers called 'Quirks' in this world.
With the information gathered, Renault stood up, ready to conclude tonight's operation.
While they only had a vague direction for the Shocker Organization's base, it was enough. The base couldn't escape, and as long as they didn't relocate within a short time, they could find it.
However, they needed to be cautious during the search.
Seeing Renault's attention had shifted away from him, Mummy Kaijin sighed in relief. He cautiously asked, "Can I go now?"
Looking at Spider Kaijin's lifeless body, he didn't want to stay another second here.
"Of course, I promised not to lay a hand on you, so I'll naturally keep my word," Renault said as he turned and headed towards the direction of the small town. Passing by Tsukasa, he patted his shoulder and said, "I'll leave it to you."
Tsukasa rolled his eyes at Renault, "You're quite something, aren't you?"
Even someone as clueless as Mummy Kaijin understood Renault's intention by now.
"Wait! How can you go back on your word like that?"
"I didn't..." Renault replied without looking back, walking ahead. "I promised not to intervene, but that's just my promise to you. I never promised that Decade wouldn't take action, did I?"
"This... this... can't be..." Mummy Kaijin wanted to run away, but with his severe injuries, he wouldn't get far even if he tried to escape.
As he was about to move his feet, he saw a gun pointed at him.
*BANG!*
In an instant, an energy bullet pierced through Mummy Kaijin's head, ending his life.
Putting the weapon away, Renault looked at Kaijin's body on the ground, as well as the bodies of the Nomu and Shocker fighters. Tsukasa knew that Renault wouldn't help clean up.
'Never mind, I'll do it as a senior. I will need his help when we go to Tokyo later.'
With a wave of his hand, Tsukasa cleared away the debris and bodies, restoring the scene to how it was before the battle.
Then, he quickly caught up with Renault's pace.
"When are we going to deal with Shocker's matter?" Walking alongside Renault, Tsukasa inquired.
"No rush. Since they've entered this world, considering Shocker's nature, they'll definitely cause trouble. We'll just wait and follow the trail. If it's just the level of Kaijin we encountered earlier, higher-level Pro Heroes can handle it without major issues, maybe just a few injuries."
Tsukasa chuckled, "I thought you might say you'll handle everything."
"Just me?" Renault shook his head, "I'm not a god. Why should everything be my responsibility? Shocker needs to be dealt with, but isn't Decade here too? They're after you."
"I'll definitely take action, especially since even the Shocker Great Leader has come." Tsukasa pondered and said, "In a few days, I'll resign and head to Tokyo. I'll be counting on you to support me then!"
"...The esteemed Decade needs my support?"
"Isn't this a different world?" Tsukasa slung his arm around Renault's shoulder, grinning. "And this time, it's just me who came here. I don't know anyone here, so I can only rely on you, the junior!"
"Well, we'll see when the time comes. Your identity won't be a problem. After all, you get a new identity in every world you visit. I'll figure out a way for you to become a Pro Hero too. When Shocker starts causing trouble, you can legitimately step in and make some money."
"That idea doesn't sound bad at all. I'll leave it to you then!"
As they spoke, the two had already reached the front of the inn. Just as they were about to enter, Yuriko leaped down from the roof and approached them.
"Is everything resolved?"
Tsukasa patted Renault's shoulder, then walked past Yuriko and entered the inn.
Renault glanced at Yuriko's thin clothing, although he knew she wouldn't feel cold. Still, he ushered her inside.
"Let's discuss inside."
