Episode 146 My skills are top-notch, but my swordsmanship is third-rate! (7)
10 minutes have passed since then, but the bar is still… … No, the restaurant door did not open.
Boom boom! Clink-!
All I could hear was the sound of something breaking and breaking inside over and over again.
Luna frowned slightly.
“… … “What the hell is going on in there?”
“Hmph, it looks like you’re busy hiding your illegal activities. Why not give it a try? “If only you could avoid my eyes.”
“hot… … ! Seniors! Could it be that he is trying to run away with evidence of a crime? “Is there some kind of hidden back road?”
“hmm… … ! It’s quite possible. Miss Luna, can you help me for a moment? “We need to check the escape route and block it.”
“yes! Just trust me!”
Luna and Rodelin, who were absorbed in playing detective, disappeared behind the bar.
Normally, Leger would have followed suit, but he didn’t do so this time.
because… … .
“Hehehe… … Wow, this is my first time seeing this pattern… … .”
The walls of the bar are stained with various graffiti and dirt.
Was that amazing? Leger’s eyes, hidden behind his long bangs, sparkle.
Leger took out several thick cardboard boxes, looked around to match the colors, then chose one and started working.
We set out to create a box identical to the bar’s wall pattern.
A situation where the party has no control at all.
But I could say that it was actually a good situation.
‘I needed time to organize information about Scarlett.’
A puzzle about a character named Scarlett.
I started to put together the puzzle about him in my head, one by one.
Age, hometown, activities after the general store, reason for working under Charon now, hidden secrets, etc.
‘… … This should be enough.’
I’ve summarized only what I can remember right now, but this should be enough.
‘Information that Scarlett needs right now. ‘I know that.’
I need to know the exact time, so I’ll have to have a conversation, but I won’t be able to deny the information I have.
So Scarlett is no problem. The problem now is.
‘I don’t know what Charon’s goal is… … .’
Charon is the epitome of efficiency.
I am not the kind of person who is so careless as to waste time on useless things.
This can be seen just by looking at the selection and deployment of the most suitable rat for the mission.
‘There must be a reason why you sent me here and why I met Scarlett.’
Wajangchang-!
There was the sound of something breaking again inside the bar.
Maybe this situation itself, that sloppy attitude itself, was planned.
‘Even at first glance, it’s a mess. Is this a plan to undermine Luna’s trust in me? But I don’t think so… … .’
It was too sloppy.
From Luna’s point of view, I probably brought her here because I had disguised the bar as a restaurant.
In the first place, it’s not a relationship where trust can be lost because of something like that.
Luna would enjoy eating food from places like this. Well, I may grumble a bit.
‘Why did you send me here? ‘I don’t know the real intention.’
I was in the middle of thinking about this and that.
Rodelin and Luna approached, shaking their hands.
“They set up barricades on the back road. It won’t be easy to escape. No, I want you to run away. “Then not only arrest but also forcible execution becomes possible.”
But that didn’t happen.
When Scarlett pulled back the curtains on all the windows, the inside of the restaurant was clearly visible.
He was busy walking around the place, preparing for business.
“no. That can’t be possible. I’ll run away soon. “Everyone, stay alert!”
When Rodelin’s tension and anger were rising with no end in sight.
Squeak-.
“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. “Please come in.”
Scarlett opened the door and welcomed us.
It was clear that it was a pretty difficult time for him as well as for us.
Although he was trying to smile, he couldn’t hide the sweat dripping down his forehead and neck.
“what? “Isn’t it neater than I thought?”
It was just as Luna said.
A large hall flooded with light, a pure white tablecloth wrapped around the table, cutlery and cutlery without a speck of dust, and even a softly shining candle holder.
Although it was old here and there, it was quite neatly organized.
“That’s unusual. “It looks like a bar from the outside.”
“Sir, you have great insight. This is a restaurant with that concept. “Because of operating costs, we are selling alcohol in the evenings.”
“Hmm~ So that was it? How did you find this place? Zero, you must have had a hard time?”
Yes, I went through a lot of trouble. She was almost killed by Charon.
“… … “This can’t be happening.”
But Rodelin doesn’t seem to agree.
“Owner, you must have a business license to operate, right?”
“Hehe, of course, it’s hanging over there.”
“hmm… … It’s not a copy. Since I reported both the restaurant business and the liquor business… … Restaurants are legally allowed to operate. Are you paying your taxes well?”
“sure! I am paying my bills faithfully. Tax evasion is more dangerous than an invasion by a corps commander.”
Scarlett took out a folder and handed it to Rodelin.
When I took a quick look, it was full of receipts I received after paying taxes.
“Hmm… … You paid faithfully. “Can I take a look around the kitchen for a moment?”
“Hehe, you can watch as much as you want.”
Rodelin entered the kitchen.
After a while she came back and looked at Scarlett and said.
“… … There’s nothing wrong. “The cleaning is perfect, and the material management is neat.”
“It’s a restaurant, so it’s natural. Now, everyone, please sit down. “I’ll bring out the appetizers soon.”
As Scarlett disappeared into the kitchen, Rodelin came to our side and whispered.
“… … It’s such a perfect place that it’s suspicious. Most bars like this have poor hygiene. “They even gave me the tax payment receipt as if they had been waiting for it.”
“Hehe, definitely… … “It’s a suspicious place.”
“That’s right. It’s so perfect that it’s actually suspicious. “I’ll have to watch for a while.”
I sat down in a well-lit place.
A table for four can be said to be the standard of a restaurant.
Luna took the seat next to me as if it was a given, and Rodelin took the seat in front of me. She is facing me.
And naturally, in the diagonal direction, Leger… … It didn’t exist.
“… … ?”
The place where Leger was located was next to Luna.
I’m sitting next to Luna, so how can I sit next to her again?
I sat on Luna’s right, and Leger sat on Luna’s left.
Yes. Instead of sitting on the chair, I sat on the floor on the left.
Since it’s in a box, it’s not a bare floor, but whatever.
The extraordinaryness of shattering the general idea of a four-person table was enough to silence everyone.
Rodelin’s lips twitched, but she soon stopped. Then she winked at me.
‘You’re telling me to solve it.’
It wasn’t passed on to me, it was entrusted to me.
This is because Rodelin has a record of treating Leger harshly and then making him run away in order to change his personality.
It’s annoying, but it can’t be helped. I have no choice but to step forward and solve the problem nicely.
Anyway, today is the day I work on increasing Rodelin’s favorability towards me.
It is convenient to think of this as part of that.
“Hehe, Miss Leger? “What are you doing there?”
“Well, I’m going to eat here…” … .”
“Why? Isn’t there room left over there? “If you want to sit next to Miss Luna, I will give you my seat.”
“Well, that’s not the reason. “The front seats are close enough.”
“Then why are you there?”
“Well, that’s right… … .”
Really?
“Well, we might get attacked.”
It’s an attack. Right.
It can happen at any time in this difficult world.
but.
“Hehe, this is a restaurant. It’s a place where you can’t be attacked or anything like that. “To begin with, we are the only guests.”
“An attack could happen at any time.”
“Even if an attack happens, it will be okay. Don’t you have reliable people around you? There are seniors too.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Leger took a quick look at our faces.
She immediately lowered her head.
“Well, I still want to stay here. “Jo, I like small places.”
Yes, I see. Are you going to stay there? Then there is nothing I can do.
I have no choice but to pull it out.
“Hehe, come out here. “Don’t be afraid.”
“Hey, hey!”
Leger began to protest, waving his arms.
Is it because of the training these days? The counterattack is quite fierce.
‘But I also trained.’
A hellish sparring with Lucia for ten days.
Is it thanks to that? I was able to find a gap between the wildly flailing arms.
‘The thread of the gap!’
Both my hands went inside Leger’s arms.
At the same time, I grabbed both of Leger’s cheeks and pulled them slightly to the side.
“Ah, ah… … .”
Oh, it stretches.
Is it because I’m young, or is it because I can’t see sunlight?
The cute cheekbones stretched out on both sides.
‘I guess I’ll have no choice but to come out of the box soon.’
That was when Leger’s cheeks were being stretched here and there.
Someone stretched out both hands and firmly grabbed both of my cheeks.
Of course that someone… … .
“hmm? Miss Luna?”
“Who wants to harass my friend?”
“Hehe, I never bullied you. “I guess it’s a treatment method to correct behavior.”
“Oh, I see. “It’s a treatment for behavior correction.”
Luna’s eyes lit up.
“Then you should try some treatment too.”
Ahhh-!
Terrible pain shot down both my cheeks.
A scream came out of my mouth.
* * *
Even while she was busy cooking food, Scarlett’s eyes were fixed on the hall.
The first thing you need to do now.
‘Finding out who the cute kid Charon mentioned is.’
Noisy table.
Scarlett’s eyes quickly scanned them.
A girl who exudes elegance in every movement and speaks like a soldier.
A boy with narrow eyes being beaten.
A girl with brazen and violent twin tails.
and.
There was a girl with long bangs covering her eyes, who was confused and didn’t know what to do.
‘Right. That child is the one that Charon told me to take good care of.’
The number of girls is three.
However, Scarlett was able to immediately figure out who the child Charon was talking about was.
‘Hehehe, but you can’t fool my eyes. ‘Cause I’m an excellent gutter rat.’
Of course, it could be another child. But that twintail will definitely not be a liar.
A cute, charming, popular kid.
Because there is no way such a violent child could be that kind of child.
The most urgent work is done. Now all that’s left to do is:
‘Providing food comparable to a five-star restaurant, and getting information from that boy.’
Scarlett’s hands moved busier than ever.
* * *
“Appetizers are here! Please enjoy until the appetizers arrive!”
Something that looked like pudding was placed in front of us.
“Hmm, something refreshing is appetizing. “The skill is quite good.”
“surely… … ! “It’s much more delicious than the place I originally went to, right?”
It was just as Rodelin and Luna said.
Even though I have a picky taste, I could feel the quality of the taste.
What’s strange about it?
‘Do you like what’s in front of Leger a little better?’
From the color to the freshness and even the size, it is bigger. That’s twice as much.
“There are too many of you… … .”
“Our Leger’s stomach is too small. Well, since it’s a course meal, it’s best to empty your stomach as much as possible. “Let’s share.”
We began to share little by little the pudding that Leger had left.
That was when I brought the pudding that Leger had left onto his plate.
Phew!
A knife flew out of nowhere and got stuck on my pudding.
When I turned my head, I saw Scarlett in the kitchen, her eyes shining.
Did I mention earlier that you don’t get attacked in places like restaurants?
It’s cancelled.
This was a hunting ground. Charon’s rat… … .
A hunting ground to hunt me.
