Book 7 Chapter 6 Annette's Confessions

“――Could you please take my life as well?”

Those words that came from Anette’s mouth left me speechless.

What kind of punishment did she endure to ask a complete stranger like me to kill her? Even with all my experiences, I couldn’t even imagine it.

Anyway, I’ve got to do something about her.

“Y-you’re mistaken, milady. I am not a robber and I have no intentions of taking your life. It’s that……”

As I paused, wondering where should I begin to explain, Lady Anette stared at me like I was nothing. For a moment there, the languid beauty was a bit scary.

“I’m not planning to have you arrested, so please rest assured. In the first place, no one will try to help me capture you anyway.”

“Please, listen to me first. My name is Tomoaki. I came here to see you, Lady Anette, because I have something I want you to help me with. Well, firstly, I’m very sorry for suddenly barging in without notice.”

I slowly lifted my head, which was lowered beforehand in apology. Anette rolled her eyes on me as if she’s seeing something very strange.

“Well, I really wanted to talk to you, but it seems that they wouldn’t let me see you unless I do it from the back.”

Of course, it would be much better they also allowed Suzette to meet with her head on.

However, since that was very unlikely, we had planned this strategy in advance.

“You have a business with me? Really?”

She looked straight at me and I stared back at her as well. We kept those gazes for a while, until she finally nods and opens her mouth to speak.

“I see. Pretty unusual, but still acceptable. Carry on.”

Though still half-suspicious, it seems she’s willing to listen to me now.

From there, I told her the purpose of coming to see her. That I had come to see what her ex-husband, the minister, is doing and to learn about the movements and secrets of the faceist faction and why are they so into promoting the discrimination based on appearances.

“Hmm, I see now.”

She murmured, but her tone indicated a lack of interest. Her large breasts shook as she crosses her arms under them.

Then, she opened her mouth, while looking at me in an appraising manner.

“And why would Sir Tomoaki want to know the weakness of the majority leaders? You’re too young to be the next minister. Still, I’m sure you’ll get a pretty good spot if you fill in.”

“There will never be such thing.”

I denied it straight away.

I came here not to play their political games.

“My aim is to end the discrimination of appearances, which is their movement. If they can accept that, then I don’t mind the ministers being the way they are.”

“Is that so?”

Annette looked at me with incredulousness.

In response to that, I continued my speech.

“You see, I have seen women who have been discriminated against for their looks, just to name a few. People who have been driven out of the city where they were born and are wandering around looking for a place to go. People who have done nothing to deserve this but are suffering because they are being looked badly.”

I sucked a bit of air, then continued.

Even though they are strong, their appearance was a hindrance, making some of them kill their own sense of self in order to survive. Even among elves and beast people, there are people who were persecuted for their looks and have nowhere else to go. I want to change the system that makes these people, who are already miserable in their current state, to become even more helpless they are now. In order to do so, we can’t just leave aside the current majority faction that promotes discrimination based on the way people look.”

I concluded my speech, still staring straight at her.

Annette nodded deeply and let out a small sigh.

“I see your point, Mister Tomoaki. And I can see that you really do want to eliminate discrimination based on appearances.”

I guess my feelings were understood. Well, at the very least, Annette seemed to believe me.

“Besides, you didn’t even look away from me while we were talking, not even once. You yourself, at least, don’t blatantly avoid people because of their looks.”

“Okay?”  

I agreed, but Annette’s slightly bypassed way of saying it bothered me.

“Alright, I’ll agree to talk about it. However, in one condition.”

“What is it? Whatever I can do to help, I’ll do it.”

As I said it, Anette gave me a strange smile. Like there was something amusing about it, and she was holding it back inside.

“I still can’t remove my suspicions on you. For that, would you allow me to test you out?”

“Of course. My thoughts on the matter remain true.”

“I have the minister’s information. I can give it to you. However, you have to take(fuck) me in return.”

I immediately looked back at her in surprise by the sudden conditions.

A melancholic beauty which emits a sense of immorality that is different from her juvenile nature. Along with a lithe body and a pair of very large breasts, her beauty is one of a kind, that I was already trying my best not to reach out for her from my spot.

In this world, women have stronger desires than men, and now that she’s officially separated from her husband, her libido right now must be raging.

As long as it’s with a beautiful woman like Annette, she would always be the most welcome in my arms.

“I understand. Rather, I really want to ask that question for a while now.”

“Oh, I don’t mind. It’s not like I’m expecting you to agree to it anyway. I won’t snitch on you to get yourself arrested. Just go on your way and ――eh? Mister Tomoaki, can I hear that again?”

“I will do it with you, Lady Anette.”

I walked up to her and took her hand.

Both of them, which are slightly cold, allowed themselves to be wrapped, as if its occurrence was natural.

Annette looked at me in surprise and defenselessness, and I almost forgot that she’s older than me.

Her hands began to heat up with my own body heat.

Vermilion flashed across her cheeks, and after opening and closing her mouth in a small way, she let out a meek voice.

“Y-you know, it’s bad manners to tease an adult……but, oh well. Thank you.”

Lady Annette pouted. The way she’s embarrassed is like a young girl.

‘W-well, then, I’m going to tell you about the minister now, but can we keep it like this for the whole time?”

As she has been sitting and has never moved from her place since I entered the room, it was inevitable for her to look up from her position. Due to that, however, her eyes were now upturned, making her more pitiful and hard to refuse, not that I intend to refuse her in the first place.

“As long as you’re fine with it, I don’t mind. Now, could you please tell me about them?”

I shrugged my shoulders as I stared at Annette. After clearing her throat lightly, she began to speak.

“Now where should I start…… that man, the minister as you all know, is a racist, conservative and radical person.”

I squeezed my hand tightly to encourage Annette, who’s eyes are almost losing its color as she said this.

“He was the one who spearheaded the push for appearance discrimination, and now that he’s gained strength, he formed his own faction and established himself as their leader.”

Annette’s ex-husband is the leader of the “faceist” faction, which consisted of the majority of the country’s powers at this moment. With a connection this close, she should have an idea of their secrets, or at least, their movements at the bare minimum. 

Still, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for Annette who has married to such an extremely faceist man.

“All sorts of people came in and out of this place. First was――”

I began writing down the names that came out of her mouth. The alphabet I was diligently taught by Edith came in pretty handy.

Although a lot of things has happened before I was able to properly learn them……

These names are all unfamiliar to me, but soon as Suzette and Irene take hold of them, it will be useful in grasping the central government from below.

“On the other hand, there are some who may not be necessarily be on their side, but they didn’t seem to like ――”

I write down the names again.

Who knows, maybe one of them might become our ally.

After I finished writing down my notes, I took Annette’s hand in mine again.

“The most important thing is his secret. He wasn’t a very influential man to begin with, so he…… did things……lots of things to get to where he is now…including making a wife out of someone he didn’t like the way she looked. Yes. Even our marriage is nothing but a political move.”

I put my strength into my hands that were wrapping hers to melt the loneliness in Annette’s eyes.

“Among the countless of underhanded stuff he has done, the biggest one, which he’s still doing even today, is the embezzlement of funds from the government. He uses his position to launder funds to pull out his all sorts of schemes.”

Embezzlement, eh. Typical.

I wasn’t shocked when I heard this.

It’s pretty common, but still a clear-cut crime, even in our world. A single bullet that has ended countless of politicians’ lives.

“Yes, it’s so typical that it’s disappointing. However, even with that, no one would believe me even if I made a fuss about it. The faction he created is just that powerful.”

She murmured to me in resignation.

“It’s also the very same reason he’s leaving me, someone who knows most of their moves, in here, all alone.He’s grown too confident be believes he’s indestructible.”

But not anymore. We――Irene and the others, may be able to turn out situations upside down based on this information.

We will make a world where people are not discriminated against because of their appearance, and an even fewer people to grieve over.

“I just hope that it helped you out a little.”

“Yes, it was very helpful indeed.”

I nodded emphatically.

“I see. That’s good. Now then……”

Annette discontinued on what she has to say. She even averted her eyes a little bit. I offered my hand and made her stand up.

“Now the, please let me embrace you, Annette.”

I let Annette to the bed on the side, her face full of anticipation for what’s about to come.

She took my hand, then after pulling her over, I led her to the center of the bed.
