Episode 155 Bad relationship (3)
Scarlett was restoring the bar to its original state after Zero and the others left.
As he was closing the curtains, he suddenly realized something. That someone is looking at them.
Two eyes shining in the dark. It was obvious even without looking who it was.
The leader of the Rats, the shadow of the Emperor, and the one who gave him this mission.
It’s Charon.
“Are you here?”
Charon appeared in Scarlett’s greeting.
Although it looked no different from usual, Scarlett realized that something was different.
‘You came before nightfall?’
Yes. The village is currently bathed in a deep sunset.
This was a very unusual thing.
This is because gutter rats usually become active after darkness falls on the village, when they can avoid people’s attention.
There is nothing different about Charon. No, you should actually be more careful.
Not only does it attract attention because its face is full of scars, but it is also because it is so large.
‘Besides, he’s a very busy person. Like last time, it would have been enough to send someone else… … .’
And yet, even before darkness fell, he came in person?
This means one of two things.
Either Charon had nothing better to do, or… … .
‘This mission was that important.’
This is important enough to require a report quickly.
Scarlett tensed up internally.
The mission given by Charon was also a mission, but Scarlett decided to join Zero.
If this fact is discovered, not only will the eternal snowflake disappear into the distance, but your own life will also be in danger.
‘Of course, I haven’t completely changed my mind yet.’
Does Charon have information about the eternal snowflake or not?
This will clearly tell you which side you should choose.
The problem is that you didn’t know Charon would come so quickly?
When Scarlett swallowed her saliva, Charon’s mouth opened.
“Okay, I guess you accomplished your mission well, right?”
“Hehe, who am I? Of course, it performed perfectly.”
“Hoo… … .”
A strange look appeared in Charon’s eyes.
Not only did you treat Luna to delicious food, but you also found out information about Zero?
‘It would have been easy to serve food to Luna… … Did you get information about that sneaky guy?’
If so, we can say that we have achieved tremendous results.
I don’t think it’s because Scarlett’s skills are outstanding.
‘In fact, it would be the opposite.’
Scarlett was so sloppy that she let her guard down and made a mistake.
That was highly likely. Well, it doesn’t matter because you can get the information anyway.
“Okay, what kind of information is this?”
“Not only did he know that I was a rat, but he even knew my name. “He must have ties to a manager-level rat.”
“… … what?”
The number of people and names of the rats is the highest level of information known only to managers.
If what Scarlett said is true, it would be a big deal.
Because someone is in secret with Zero.
Charon’s head turned quickly.
‘Currently, only five people have access to the rat’s personal information.’
Among them, there is no rat worth betraying.
If there is one, it is a case of trading like yourself, but everyone except one is not in the empire.
‘I gave Scarlett the mission about two weeks ago. So time is running out for those far away to give information to Zero.’
Moreover, since this person is an early member who went through hardships and hardships with him and has no family, Zero has no means to threaten him.
‘If it weren’t for Luna, I wouldn’t have done a deal with a guy like that.’
Since he doesn’t go out much in the first place, he doesn’t have anything to do with Zero.
I made some assumptions for a while, but there is only one conclusion.
Charon glanced at Scarlett.
He looks proud that he has completed his mission perfectly.
Charon frowned inwardly.
‘He made a mistake and didn’t know it.’
When a novice rat is active, such cases sometimes happen.
After revealing the name with one’s own mouth, people say, ‘No, how did you know!?’
Every rider shows up one or two times, and he couldn’t have guessed that it would be Scarlett who gave him the mission.
Charon felt a headache growing.
‘I’ll check with the managers, but… … .’
It was impossible for those five people to betray themselves.
It’s like you made a mistake and then you pass it on as great information.
‘I was a fool for expecting it in the first place. ‘How hard is it to get information out of him?’
It was a daunting task for the lowest level to accomplish.
After giving Scarlett a quick glance, I asked about the next mission.
“… … I will check the inside myself. “You must have successfully completed other missions, right?”
“You mean serving a delicious meal to a child named Luna? Of course, they performed it perfectly.”
Charon nodded. Because this wasn’t a difficult mission to begin with.
Of course, it was not a task worth entrusting to a rat.
‘As compensation, I’ll give you a good mission next time.’
Luna lives only on the meals provided by the academy because she has no money.
It’s not that the quality is bad, but it’s clear that you can’t eat expensive food.
Serving such high-quality food to Luna?
It was when Charon smiled inwardly with satisfaction.
“By the way, please tell me to cut my bangs.”
“hmm?”
“It was frustrating just to look at it. “It’s true that the cute appearance is fading, but don’t you need to see the eyes to have a conversation?”
“… … ?”
Charon suddenly realized something strange.
This bastard… … .
“… … “What does a child named Luna look like?”
“yes? “You’re the one covering your bangs, right?”
“… … !”
“He’s cute, popular, and I don’t know if he’s attractive, but people around him always take care of him. “It was difficult to stop the hands of that insidious bastard.”
… … Yeah, it looks like it’s going to be hard to stop my hand from reaching you.
A ‘tap’ sound was heard from Charon’s hand.
“… … “It’s a different kid.”
“yes?”
“That child is Regé, and the one with pink hair and twin tails is Luna.”
“Uh, that babbler is Luna?”
It’s not a joke. What a cute kid!
Eventually, Charon couldn’t stand it anymore and grabbed Scarlett’s head.
“What did you accomplish to carry out your mission? “I couldn’t accomplish a single thing!”
“Kwaaaaak!!”
A tendon sprouted from Charon’s forehead.
Rather than carrying out the mission perfectly, both missions failed. That too was a huge failure.
‘I didn’t know he was such an incompetent guy. Of course, he wasn’t an easy opponent… … .’
Charon clicked his tongue and said ‘Tsk’.
Charon is not humble enough to judge a person based on just one mission.
This is partly because the Rat’s mission is so difficult, but there are also many who need time to grow.
‘Three chances.’
That was the number that Charon could endure and the opportunity given to Scarlett.
The first opportunity was completely lost.
If she fails two more missions, Scarlett will not be able to live as a street rat.
‘We should give them a proper bar.’
Although it is a courtesy to someone who has lived as a street rat for a while, it is more to do with information gathering.
A gutter rat who is forced to retire cannot access information or even get promoted.
You become a being who only provides information to the rat.
“Whoa… … Anyway, you had a lot of trouble. “Please wait here until the next mission.”
Scarlett, who was recovering while covering her face with both hands, brightened her eyes.
‘It’s just as the guy named Zero said.’
I succeeded in pretending to be clueless. Now Charon’s interest in himself must have faded a little.
Although I now know that the child I knew as Leger was Luna, and the child I knew as Luna was Leger.
Now there is only one thing left for you to do.
I spoke to Charon, who seemed to be leaving at any moment.
“if… … Do you have any information about the Eternal Snowflake?”
“Eternal snowflake? As far as I know, none.”
Charon gave the answer very easily.
There was a lot of disappointment, but the eternal snowflake… … .
“Besides, I’ve never even heard of it being real. “Isn’t this a flower that only exists in folktales?”
“As expected. I knew that too, but… … .”
Scarlett’s quivering mouth.
Charon’s eyes lit up when he saw that.
“By any chance, Zero, was he looking for that?”
“Yes, he said it was something he really needed.”
Scarlett nodded and responded.
Please note that this was discussed with Zero.
Zero’s ploy to confirm to Charon that he has no information about the Eternal Snowflake and at the same time increase his trust in himself.
However, Charon and Scarlet, unaware of this fact, had no choice but to fall for Zero’s trick.
“It’s an eternal snowflake… … Was that real? “It might be worth looking into.”
Scarlett couldn’t help but be surprised.
It’s one thing that Zero has information that Charon doesn’t know, but he not only inferred that Charon doesn’t know… … .
‘When I told him, he laughed it off and said it was a tale, but when he said that Zero was looking for him, he immediately accepted it as fact… … .’
Only then was Scarlett able to decide on a direction.
Works under Charon and cooperates with Zero.
‘If you want to betray Charon… … .’
You can do that as much as you like. If only I could cure my younger sister who has cirrhosis.
Scarlett clenched her fists and made a promise.
Although Charon is very perceptive, he did not notice Scarlett’s thoughts.
It was partly because he had just become a novice rat, but it was more because Charon’s head was spinning like crazy.
‘You asked Scarlett for information, not me?’
This is behavior that is difficult to understand. This means only one thing.
‘He didn’t want me to know that he was looking for an eternal snowflake.’
It’s probably because eternal snowflakes have that value.
then.
‘If I get my hands on it first… … I guess I can give it up for a good price.’
Of course, it could be a zero trap.
But it’s well worth looking into.
“Yes, Scarlett. “This is it.”
“yes?”
“This is exactly the information I wanted. “I will consider the mission a success.”
The most important mission was actually a mess, but if you can plant a spy in Zero, you will have a lot of business.
“Don’t let him know that you told me.”
“Yes, of course. “I don’t think we’ll ever meet again from now on.”
“Maybe it’s because you’re a junior, but they seem to look at you funny. We will provide opportunities from time to time. “Get information from Zero.”
With those last words, Charon left.
He muttered as he remained alone in the bar.
“… … “This is shit.”
So Scarlett.
I unintentionally became a double agent.
* * *
“We go first.”
“Hehe, come in.”
Leger was struggling to digest food while still maintaining his tadpole stomach.
Luna carried her on her back like a piece of luggage and headed to the dormitory.
‘It’s late.’
It was so late at night that the sky was full of stars.
I was delayed returning home because Luna was talking about it being a long break.
That was when I was heading to the dormitory. A corner of the dormitory building, a dark back alley.
I could feel that someone was targeting me there.
This is because [Extra senses] were activated.
And of course the person there.
Coo coo coo coo coo-.
… … It was Charon.
I’m not sure why it’s giving off such strong energy.
“Hehe, I’m not feeling well today. I need to quickly rest in the dormitory… … .”
But my wish did not come true.
Because Charon grabbed my backside.
Wow!
I was hit by a wall in a dark back alley.
I was able to feel Rodelin’s feelings, even if only for a moment.
“Hehe, no matter how handsome I am, it’s difficult to confess like this.”
“My confession means sticking a dagger to your head. Do you want that?”
Wow, amazing.
As far as I know, there is an agreement in society to call something like that a murder.
Charon’s society appears to be quite different.
“You did something very interesting.”
Scarlett misunderstands Leger for Luna.
They’re probably asking why they didn’t release it. but.
“Hehe, is it my business? “It’s because he’s stupid.”
“That’s right.”
Charon quickly agreed.
You’re confusing Luna with Leger. Charon would have been dumbfounded too.
“Why didn’t you report it all this time?”
“Because I had nothing to report.”
“What about Lucia?”
I could vaguely sense it.
Charon came today not just because of Scarlett.
“Did you know that you were training? “It’s not worth reporting.”
“I know. But don’t you know why Lucia is teaching you? That Lucia teaches the children. “It’s impossible.”
“Hehe, maybe it’s because I’m cute?”
Ppuing ppuing.
She puffed out her cheeks and showed off her cuteness. OK.
Ttduk-.
There was a sound of something breaking in Charon’s head.
Oh my. Was it so cute?
“… … “It looks like you’re trying to see the limits of my patience, and I want you to know that I’ve just surpassed it.”
“Actually… … .”
He slowly began to explain what had happened.
Because I am a very good student who follows the teacher’s instructions well.
