“Just so you know, it’s not just kids inside the other birdcage. A hundred of the best I picked are in it too! All of them known ruffians!”
“A hundred!? How did you get so many…!?”
“By just becoming an umbrella for criminals with nowhere to go. Groza the powerful, a repeated violent criminal! Christopher, the one known as the vampire, who had the cruel modus operandi of killing people by draining their blood! Jingi the assassin, the Celeb brothers who hunted people for sport… Isn’t this a magnificent lineup?”
The names Regen mentioned were all violent criminals wanted by the guards.
It made sense for them to be under him, but if they started to rampage, the damage would be substantial.
Jinba and the others turned pale as they pictured what would happen to the people they attacked, and Regen continued.
“Kukuku…! It’s too early to be surprised. Among this hundred people, there is the mad dog Gabejin! Who received the power to turn into a monster armor beast!”
“Gabejin…!? That Gabejin!? He’s under your control too…!? Regen! Stop that other group! You should be able to order them!”
“Hey hey, you got that backwards. I give the orders, and you obey!”
The situation turned again. Not only did he have half the hostages, but also another group, and Regen spoke to Jinba with a cruel smile as he revealed this.
As his underlings’ morale swelled, Regen took a communications device from somewhere and yelled his demands to the guards.
“Everyone throw down your weapons! You’re free to ignore this command… but I’ll let you listen to something as reference.”
He said as he showed off the communications device, and many screams could be heard.
Those voices were painted with fear and despair, making everyone tense up when they realized they were people being attacked by the other group.
“Kukuku…! This is only the start. I’ll show you real hell if you disobey me.”
“Damn you Regen…!”
“Are you frustrated, Jinba? Then be frustrated! That’s all you guards can do! I’m so much better!”
Regen let out a vulgar cackle, leading his underlings to also make a ruckus.
As he provoked Jinba, his underlings also spoke with amused voices.
“That’s our boss! They can’t do anything!”
“Let’s torture the guards to death too!”
“Boss~! We got some brats with nice faces and bodies too~! Can we have them here? We can, right!?”
“Do as you want. Kill! Assault! Run wild! You have permission to do it all!!”
They wanted to hurt people, assault girls. Nothing but destructive behavior.
Regen approved of his underlings’ desires and yelled it at them, turning around towards the guards as their excitement swelled to the maximum.
“Again, throw down your weapons and obey me! If not, the hospital will be a picture of hell!”
“…Hn?”
Yuugo was listening with his face completely tense, but… hearing one thing changed that.
The villains were moving to attack the guards and tear the clothes off Melt and the others, but he raised his hand and spoke to Regen.
“Hey, you! What did you just say…?”
“Ah? Didn’t you hear me? Throw down your weapons and…”
“Not that. The other part.”
“You… Are you making fun of me!? I can kill you first!”
“Fine, just tell me. What will become a picture of hell?”
Regen was annoyed by a question that could only be interpreted as provocation in this situation.
But he controlled himself, telling himself it was pathetic to let himself be thrown out of pace in this overwhelmingly favorable situation, and answered the question even as he felt a bit of despair.
“The hospital. Hospital! Doctors, patients, visitors, all will be killed if you don’t obey me!”
“Hn…? The hospital…?”
“Wait? The hospital…!”
Regen yelled where the other group would be attacking.
Angel and Sakura faced each other when they heard it.
The others also remembered something… as the one who asked the question raised his fist and clenched it.
“Yes! Lucky!!”
“A-ah!?”
Yuugo pulled a triumphant pose and yelled loudly.
Regen was surprised by that reaction, and the flustered Jinba spoke to the happy Yuugo.
“What are you doing, Yuugo!? You might have an idea, but don’t provoke them even more!”
“It’s okay Jinba! We don’t have to obey that guy! He’s in the hospital!!”
“He? Who’s he… Ah!!”
Jinba yelled and trembled when he realized what the excited Yuugo was talking about.
Regen seethed with irritation, and gave his underlings orders through the communications device.
“Hey Gimoul! I don’t care who it is, bring someone and torture them to death! We need to teach these idiots a lesson!!”
Regen wanted his underlings to brutally kill a hostage to show off his advantage, but… no one answered the boss’ orders.
He was irritated, and repeated the order, and again, until someone finally responded, but something was not right.
“B-boss! Mister Regen!”
“What’s wrong Gimoul? Can you hear me?”
“H-help! Send reinforcements! Please! Help!!”
“Hey, what happened!? Report! Are the guards there already!?”
Regen pressed his trusted underling to report, but the panicked Gimoul did not respond, and wailed instead.
“Monster! There’s a monster! Just one but all of us…! H-help gyaaaaaaaaah!!”
“Gimoul!? Gimoul! Respond! Gimoul! Gimoul!”
Regen continued to yell for Gimoul, who went silent after his last yell.
He was shocked by this unusual situation, but Yuugo spoke, since he knew what happened.
“When scumbags try something, they’ll mess it up… They’re not words from a hero, but true.”
“What…? Something’s not right. We have mad dog Gabejin!?”
“I don’t care about your mad dog, there’s someone scarier in the hospital. Your luck ran out when you targeted that place.”
“Screw you! What kind of monster is in the hospital!?”
Regen understood the insurance policy he bet on was quickly snuffed out.
He lost his cool and yelled, and Yuugo answered from under the helmet.
“Scarier than a mad dog, the watchdog of hell.. Watch dragon.”
