The Evil Organization’s Recruitment Ad Chapter 24

I’ll Leave It To You Guys Then

Neito immediately noticed something after arriving.

The Okinawa branch office had too many problems.

Firstly, the morale was at an all time low. The guys from general affairs, as well as the branch manager, were not even motivated to conquer the island.

I don’t blame them…  After all, they’re facing two powerful forces…

[Ah, you’re the new section chief? How unfortunate that you got sent away to this far away island. But it’s going to be okay. If you can hold out for two years, you’ll be transferred again. You don’t need to do anything here.]

He mentioned that his name was Oos.h.i.+ro. From the looks of it, he was a native to the region. Smiling without a care in the world, he was always in a good mood.

[Ah, good work today chief. What? Training? Well yeah, we do it, but I doubt we’ll be encountering any battles soon, so…ah, no, we’ll fight if it comes to it.]

So far, they go out threatening local businesses and gangs for money. If they screw up and reveal themselves carelessly, the Santana would immediately hunt for them. Also, if Ramone found out about them, there’d be no guarantee of their safety. They were in no position to act against the two strong forces that were situated on the island.

This got Neito thinking.

We’re dealing against a strong enemy, but I mostly have weak subordinates. The branch office is not functioning as it should, and we have no reliable support from the main office… I might as well rot on the island like these guys…

What’s the purpose of this branch anyway? They’re practically useless…Thoughts entered his mind, but seeing as how Metallica considered Santana as a huge threat to their operations in the region, there must be a reason why he was sent here.

Neito understood their situation after being a.s.signed for a few days as the Branch Chief.

However, he didn’t plan on rotting on the island for the next few years. He thought of saying [Get your spirits up, men! We’re conquering this island!] as a way to boost morale, but he doubted that it would work.

After giving it a thought, he came to a decision.

It’s not like you can force someone to be motivated. That was obvious. That’s why he needed to find a way – a way to defeat those two powerful forces in the island.

But in reality, Neito didn’t have the required fighting power to deal with both threats. He was more suited for office work than for being on the field and fighting.

[…And that’s why, I’ll be giving you individual tasks from now on.]

He needed all the help he could get from his team. The heads of the branch were him, Tsurugi, Anice and Niina. At once, they held a meeting to discuss their plans.

[Eeh? Senpai, are you really serious on taking down that Ramone? That’s normally impossible… Let’s just go with whatever happens…]

Niina was quick to adapt to his environment. He already was used to swimming in Okinawa waters.

[Don’t say that, Niina. I’m not asking you to go one on one with Ramone. The only thing I want you to do is gather information.]

[And a.n.a.lyze it?]

[Yeah, it has been a few years since Ramone and the Santana appeared in the island. They’ve fought each other on more than one occasion. After fighting each other for many years, there should be some footage and records about them. I want you to search for those and report to us anything peculiar that we must know, anything we can use against them or any strategy that would be effective. I know you’re smarter than me, so I doubt you’ll have a hard time.]

[….Aah, well, I’ll do it, but… what about the information not revealed to the public?]

It was clearly a question that someone who wasn’t used to the ‘evil’ ways of the company would ask.

[That’s easy. Just find the one in charge, and force it out of them. How do you think someone would react if dangerous looking people from our branch suddenly surrounded them with weapons? They’d immediately spill the beans.]

[…Woah, you’re a real vicious one, Senpai. I’m not even sure if I’ll be able to do it…]

Niina was expressing himself light-heartedly. Perhaps it’s because he adapts so easily.

[And that’s where you’ll come in Anice. You’ll be going with Niina as a team. Lay down the honey trap and wait for your targets. Anice will handle the execution, while Niina is in charge of a.n.a.lyzing the information gathered.]

[Yeah! But, I wont be too reckless. Will you still be fine with that?]

Anice certainly had high fighting capabilities. She was also used to doing evil while looking innocent. On the surface, she was just a cheerful and beautiful young lady (well, that was the impression everybody got) and she can easily move around without raising any suspicion.

[For you, Tsurugi-san… Ah, wait. Tsurugi, for now you’ll pair up with me. We’re going into town. We’re going to investigate the places where the Santana was seen and the places where Ramone fought with them. This may sound dangerous, but are you up for it?]

The intel they had before arriving was becoming more useful. The Santana had mostly been attacking strong people such as sports athletes, Guardians and, in rare cases, professional Knights. Again, these attack were mostly done near the seash.o.r.e.

In other words, the possibility of them being attack was also quite high.

[Hmph, Boss. I’m entrusting my life to you.  I’ll go with you. If you say “do it”, then I’ll do it with no questions.]

Tsurugi’s voice was calm and clear. He didn’t hesitate at all.

[… Is that so?  Then I’ll be in your care.]

[Understood.]

With this, their meeting came to an end. In order for them to spread the grasp of evil, they needed information. Information against your enemy was very important.

[Alright, I’ll leave to you guys then. This is our first step. If we don’t succeed in this, then we can’t move our guys in our branch. I’m counting on you guys.]

With betrayal, lies and surprise attacks as the basics, Neito was used to crus.h.i.+ng opponents who showed any form of weakness.

Hi Guys, First of all I want to apologize for not posting chapters on time, there are too many distraction in RL for me to focus on translating alone. For now, I won’t be posting posting 2 chapters a week (I need to restock my chapters) so bare with me .

Secondly, We’re trying to renew the site to fit everyone’s need (Let’s face it, n.o.body wants to read with white backgrounds). We are currently trying to come up with an idea to make the site more easy to access for the readers.

And finally, I’m going to be working with Panda-emic to improve the reading quality (I know, my English sucks). I want to thank Panda for being our Novel editor as well as thank him/her all the other contributions given to the site.

(Anybody who wants to join my Discord server?)

Stay close, ‘cuz this arc is really d.a.m.n good.

Cheers
