Zongman: Harem's Music

What Rod Reis didn't notice in his joy was a bright red silver particle sliding into the cup!

"Cooperation..." Nishimiya Tsutomu chuckled as he held up his wine, "Happy!"

……

An hour later, as arranged to bring Nishimiya Tsuyoshi to the palace, Rodreis asked Aliana to take Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, who had already received the appointment letter as the commander of the First Military Police Regiment, back to the training corps headquarters.

After getting off the carriage, Xigong Siyi whispered to Aliana, "Tonight, it's up to you!"

"Don't worry!" Aliana nodded slightly.

After watching the carriage go away, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi turned and walked towards the Survey Corps headquarters, his heart filled with excitement: Tonight is the night to complete the [Power of the Founding Titan]!

……

Just as Nishimiya Tsuyoshi was heading towards the Survey Corps headquarters, two men dressed as military police stopped him in his tracks. "Master Nishimiya, President Zakre wants to see you!"

Following their gaze towards the street, I saw a carriage parked there.

Have you been following me all this time? I've become a very popular person! Xigong Siyi smiled and said, "Let's go!"

……

Ten minutes later, the carriage stopped in front of a small two-story house in the center of the royal capital.

......

Chapter 122 Happy Cooperation (Part 2)

If Rod Reis took a solemn and formal approach, then President Zakre undoubtedly took a friendly approach.

This not-so-big house is Zakre's home. Inviting people to visit you makes you feel closer, doesn't it?

Following the military police who led the way, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi entered the two-story villa... As soon as he entered the front yard of the villa, the Zakre family came out to greet him. They must have heard the movement of the carriage.

Zachary, dressed in casual clothes, was holding a delicate little girl about 5 or 6 years old. Next to him stood a young woman with short hair that reached her shoulders, who was about 30 years old.

It's normal for a woman in her thirties to have five or six children, but when paired with a father named Zach "Five Nine Three" Ray who looks like he's over fifty, things get a little weird...

Looking at Nishimiya Jiyi with a strange expression, Zakre was not surprised. In fact, everyone who came to his house had shown this expression!

Zakre: "I am from the Garrison Corps, and my wife Roman was once my subordinate!"

"Oh! I understand, I understand. You don't need to explain!" Xigong Siyi gave Zakre a meaningful look, turned to Roman, gave him a noble salute, and extended his right hand, saying, "Hello, ma'am. I'm Xigong Siyi."

"The renowned benevolent nobleman, the hero who presided over the battle to retake Trost, I didn't expect him to be so young!" Roman complimented Xigong Si politely and extended his right hand according to the etiquette.

Nishimiya Siyi gently lifted her soft hand and kissed her.

"My name is Mirabelle!" The little girl held in Zakre's arms stretched out her little white hands, imitating her mother.

Looking at the little girl with emerald green eyes in front of him, Xigong Siyi couldn't help but laugh and shook hands with her, saying, "My dear La Belle, right? Etiquette is something that needs to be differentiated among different people!"

"Hmm~" Mirabelle tilted her head, "What do you mean?"

This little Loli is not afraid of strangers at all!

"Kissing the hand is a sign of respect from a man to a married woman. It's rude to an unmarried woman, including an underage girl like you!" Nishimiya Tsuyoshi finished his explanation, not forgetting to jokingly say, "If someone tries to kiss your hand before little Honey La Belle and her sweetheart take their vows in the church, that's just rude. Just slap him in the face, okay?"

"Oh!" The little girl nodded, not quite understanding. Suddenly, she thought, "Does that include Daddy?"

Xigong Siyi was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself: Unless he wants to be a ghost father, he will never do this!

"Cough cough!"

If this continued, Nishimiya Siyi would instigate his precious daughter to slap him. Zakre said with a dark face, "Come in first!"

After entering the house, Zakre handed his daughter Mirabelle to his wife, and then led Nishimiya Tsuyoshi to the second floor.

After entering the study, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi spoke without waiting for Zakre to speak: "President Zakre, what do you think of the aristocracy?"

Zakre was stunned. He originally wanted to take a roundabout way to find out the truth about this noble boy who had caught his attention five years ago and was a little different. Unexpectedly, Nishimiya Siyi was so direct and pointed.

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi had a calm expression and a smile.

He was familiar with the plot and knew that the president in front of him, who came from a commoner family, had long been dissatisfied with the aristocracy, but he had always kept it in his heart and had never expressed it.

"Please sit down!" Zakre looked at Xigong Siyi deeply and raised his hand.

"Thank you!"

The two of them sat down on the sofa.

At this moment, Roman knocked on the door and entered the study with a pot of black tea. Seeing that her husband looked unusual, Roman poured a cup for Zakre and Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, then left on his own initiative.

Under Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's expectant gaze, Zakre didn't dare to reveal too much, so he asked tentatively, "What do you want to say?"

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi took out a letter of appointment from his bosom and gently placed it on the table. "You invited me here as a guest, probably because you want to know what I have gained from my visit to the palace. This is a letter of appointment. Starting tomorrow, I will be the commander of the First Military Police Regiment!"

Zakre glanced at the appointment letter and subconsciously frowned.

The First Military Police Regiment, an independent institution of the royal government, was directly subordinate to King Fritz... This powerless nobleman, once merely a prestigious figure, had truly entered the core of the royal government...

"I'll get straight to the point!"

Looking at Zakre's uncertain face, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi smiled. "King Fritz and the Grand Dukes have given me a huge piece of cake... But even so, I still believe that the power of the aristocracy is too great, and King Fritz's power is too great... The development of the kingdom has fallen into an extremely long period of stagnation. If possible... I want you and I to put an end to this!"

Seeing that Nishimiya Tsuyoshi had made his point clear, Zakrei no longer concealed his true intentions. "You've only just been given the title of commander of the First Military Police Regiment. Can you control the troops in that regiment?"

"Don't worry about that..." Nishimiya Tsuyoshi smiled mysteriously, "After tonight, the situation will become clear... Without the true king, these pretentious dukes are nothing but a bunch of clowns!"

Zakre's eyes darkened. "The real...king?"

"Yes... the real king!" Nishimiya Tsugumi 1.8 smiled, "The real secrets about the giants and the royal family that even you, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, don't know!"

……

Ten minutes later, Nishimiya Tsukasa left Zakre's house.

After gaining Zakre's attention by using a large amount of intelligence as bait, the handshake that symbolizes a pleasant cooperation is Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's real purpose.

When circumstances permit, the content of Nishimiya Siyi's [Thought Manipulation] on Zakre is not a step-by-step strategy like Erwin and Pisis, but a one-time [deepening of impression (loyalty)]... President Darius Zakre has become an absolute supporter of Nishimiya Siyi, even more staunch than Pisis and Erwin!

......

Chapter 123: Interlocking (Part 1)

Under the fading sun, the building's shadow shone obliquely towards the east. Between the pitch-black reflection and the golden glow of the illuminated surface, the royal capital of Mithras appeared exceptionally tranquil...

After about ten minutes, the setting sun disappeared... and the world began to change from day to night.

In the palace.

"Hmm~"

In the light of candlelight, Rodreis, whose forehead was obviously dark and cheek lines were sunken, shook his increasingly heavy head, and before he knew it, he fell on the desk and fainted.

Chronic mercury poisoning!

After the extremely exciting candy coating evaporated, the central nervous system disorder caused by excessive mercury intake finally broke out. In just about 60 minutes, Rod Reis's life activities completely stopped.

Tread, step, step...

Accompanied by the sound of approaching footsteps, a heavily made-up woman emerged from the darkness, her appearance revealed by the candlelight, and smiled a sly smile as if her conspiracy had succeeded.

……

A hall in the royal palace.

"Ahahahaha, drink, drink, drink!"

15 Duke Baruth, Duke Savoy, and Duke Merovingian each embraced a young woman, enjoying the protection of romance, mountains of meat, and forests of wine.

boom! boom! boom!

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire rang out outside...

"Ah!" The beautiful woman who was being hit in the chest by Lord Barut's big hand felt pain.

Barut was too busy caring about the beautiful woman he had just been with. He stood up and shouted to the door, "Someone, what happened?"

A moment later, a military policeman rushed in and said, "Oh no! Captain Aliana of the First Military Police Regiment has kidnapped Lord Reis!"

Duke Barut, Duke Savoy, and Duke Merovingian exchanged a fierce glance. Duke Merovingian turned to the vomiting gendarme and shouted, "How dare you lie? How could Lord Rhodes be so easily held hostage?"

"It's absolutely true, sir. Captain Aliana has already escaped from the palace with Prince Reis, and the First Military Police Regiment is pursuing them!" the military police explained hurriedly.

"How could this happen..." Duke Morowen, who had been full of aristocratic airs a second ago, sat back powerlessly. Although he still didn't understand the situation in front of him... he could vaguely guess that the backer he believed in, who was as unshakable as a god, did not seem to be as reliable as he had imagined.

The Duke of Savoy shouted, "Immediately mobilize the Survey Corps, the Garrison Corps, and the Military Police to search the entire city. Make sure Lord Rhodes is safely rescued!"

A few minutes later, the long alarm bells from the clock towers every 500 meters from the palace resounded throughout the entire royal capital, Mitras.

……

The Survey Corps headquarters dormitory.

"what sound?"

Mikasa, Annie, Historia, Sasha, and Mina, who were assigned to the same dormitory, noticed the frequent bell sounds at the same time.

Not long after, Petra Larue (a member of the Survey Corps' Levi's squad) pushed open the door to their dormitory. "It's the highest-level warning bell. Everyone, follow me to the square!"

……

"Has it started yet?"

Zachary, who was still in his study at home, muttered to himself as he listened to the incessant ringing of the bells, then stood up and put on his coat.

He is the key to clearing Xigong Siyi's suspicion, and he must act immediately according to Xigong Siyi's pre-arrangement.

……

The slums in the southern part of the royal capital.

With his hood covering his face and a black robe on his body, Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, dressed as a mysterious clown, stood alone on the roof of a building, waiting quietly.

A moment later, Ariana, carrying a Rod Reis on her shoulders, appeared in Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's sight, and behind her, dozens of First Military Police were vaguely seen chasing her.

Apparently, the pursuers were afraid of accidentally injuring Rodreis, so they just gave chase and used their shotguns. However, it was also because of this that Ariana was able to break out of the heavily guarded palace on her own.

"There's someone ahead!"

"Aliana's traitorous accomplice?"

"Capture him and use him to force Aliana to hand over Lord Rhodes!"

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi discovered them, and the pursuing soldiers of the First Military Police Regiment also saw Nishimiya Tsuyoshi.

"The distance is enough, let's go to Avici Hell to see your boss Kenny!" Nishimiya Tsuyoshi shouted after calculating the timing, and then raised his hand and snapped his fingers!

Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~whoosh~

Under the power of [Superpower: Metal Control], the [Three-Dimensional Mobile Device] that the First Military Police Regiment relied on was instantly transformed from a reliable companion into a surprise force that turned against them. The iron wires that were originally piercing in a straight line suddenly turned back sharply, and then 597 began to strangle them with indiscriminate blades!

The thin iron wires cut at high speed, like extremely sharp blades, cutting into the flesh and blood of the First Military Police without any hindrance. In an instant... blood, broken limbs, minced meat, and rotten organs were all over the sky, splashing onto the ground!

But in the blink of an eye, all the pursuers were wiped out!

As Ariana landed beside Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, carrying Rodreis, several ordinary gendarmes, further behind the first gendarme, made an emergency landing on the roof of a nearby building. Their minds were already preoccupied with the bloody scene of a dozen people instantly reduced to a pool of blood and shredded flesh. "What happened..."

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi extended his right hand, and the [Type 92 Pistol Unlimited Bullet Version] instantly fell from the storage space of [Sumeru Jiewei] into it, "Metal Control Six Consecutive Eightfold Speed!"

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!

Six bullets, which were accelerated three times in a row by Nishimiya Tsuyoshi's [Superpower: Metal Manipulation], were fired out with the power of a sniper rifle.

In response to the gunshots, in the distance, exactly six ordinary gendarmes were shot dead and fell from the roof.

......

Chapter 124: Interlocking (Part 2)

"It seems like I only have one breath left!"

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi turned around and looked at Rodreis, who was dying on Ariana's shoulder. He raised his left hand and placed it on his forehead, then closed his eyes.

After a while, strands of millimeter-sized mercury threads that were invisible to the naked eye and glowed with five-colored soft light under the bright moonlight converged from Rodreis's pores to Xigong Si's fingertips and became the size of a soybean.

Nishimiya Tsuyoshi, who was a bit of a germaphobe, threw this thing aside, then grabbed the back of Rodreis's clothes, threw it into the air, and jumped out...

boom--

A flash of lightning flashed across the buildings of the royal capital at night, followed by a loud thunderclap that spread throughout the capital!

……

"Erwin!"
