He spoke to Charon, who still had a disapproving expression on his face.
“Hehe, you still don’t believe me?”
“… … of course.”
“okay. But this is a problem that can be solved very simply if you think a little differently.”
“what?”
“Believing what I say is true. “Wouldn’t that simply prove my existence?”
A child who dreamed of becoming the Leicester family’s rat.
Renia made an unknown deal with the boy and passed on the family’s secret secrets.
Then one day, the Leicester family was exterminated and fell apart.
What if you live for revenge?
“… … “There is no evidence.”
A tone of voice that makes it impossible to admit it.
But there was clear evidence.
There is clear evidence that even Charon has no choice but to admit.
“Hehe, you saw Ilseom, right? Do you need more solid evidence than that?”
A flash that is much better than Luna.
There was no way to explain it other than that I had been taught directly.
After a while, Charon opened his mouth.
“… … “I narrowly passed.”
“yes?”
“I knew from a long time ago that you were related to the Leicester family. “I was just testing to see if it could handle that weight.”
Charon says that it has been tested so far.
But from what I saw, he was just trying to pretend to be cool.
‘What is the narrow passing? … ‘There was no other way, so I used force.’
Anyway, the first duel between Goinmul and the Imperial Rat ended in a complete victory for Goinmul.
But I had no intention of ending there.
“Let’s make a deal.”
“transaction?”
“Yes, we exchange information with each other. Let’s help each other as much as possible.”
“what? Haha!!”
Charon started laughing so hard that his lips became crooked.
It was an obvious ridicule. Why?
“Do you think the level of information you have would be helpful to me?”
The value of information.
And it was talking about the gap in information each person had.
The value of the information I have about Charon, who is working secretly behind the Empire, and me, who is only 15 years old.
There is a huge gap between the two.
I.
If it weren’t for the stagnant water.
“Hasn’t there been a hole in the cesspool recently?”
Stop.
The smile disappeared from Charon’s face.
You must be surprised. So much so that I couldn’t even think of hiding my expression.
A cesspool.
A place where food called information is mixed up and rats come and go without rest.
It was a slang term for the imperial intelligence department managed by Charon.
‘How dare you wrinkle in front of a stagnant water?’
And that too with information?
If I tell you all the information I know, Charon will turn a blind eye.
Because the information contained in stagnant water is terrifying.
“… … “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Hmm~ Are you going to come out like that?
I muttered as I passed by Charon.
“Then I can’t help it. This information will be destroyed… … .”
“… … Try spreading it somewhere. “It’s probably just something we made up anyway.”
Charon caught me.
If there is a hole in the cesspool, it means that there is someone among the cesspools who is stealing information.
Is there a rat like that in the intelligence department, especially the empire’s intelligence department?
It was a self-evident fact that if they could not oust the traitor, they would suffer great disaster.
“It’s Hus. “They were providing information to warlocks.”
Charon frowned.
It may also be because the person you are handing over information to is not very good.
It’s probably more because I know the exact name of the secret agent, which is one of the most confidential secrets.
‘At this time, Charon was also aware that information was leaking.’
I just couldn’t find who it was.
In the game, you will find it near the end of Chapter 1, so there won’t be any major problems if I tell you now.
‘We won’t even deal with it until we find clear evidence that Hus is a traitor.’
Charon must have chosen his own suspects.
I just lend a hand.
You don’t have to worry about the butterfly effect that will drastically change your future.
“Where does the information come from?”
Of course.
“Hehe, it’s a secret.”
“… … .”
Charon wasn’t angry.
Not disclosing the information provider is a basic rule for spies.
This was probably intended to test my level.
“It’s a deal… … .”
Charon muttered.
My request to trade information we have with each other.
At first, I thought it was just a boring joke, but when I looked into it, I realized it had a lot of value.
It was not unreasonable for him to be worried.
Due to its nature, information has a wide range of values, from trash to thousands of dollars.
But sometimes information is a thing.
It has a value more important than life.
‘You’re probably thinking about it because you know its value.’
Because we don’t know what kind of butterfly effect it will cause when we trade information with each other.
It is not good to worry for too long.
I decided to alleviate the worries especially from my side.
In order to find out Charon’s secret story, building a relationship of trust must come first.
“Hehe, this information will be provided as a service.”
“… … service?”
“Yes, he is an indispensable person in business relationships. This is especially true if it is your first transaction.”
Anyway, from Charon’s perspective, it’s not clear that my information is real.
It’s okay to give up this much to gain trust.
Only then did Charon shook his head.
“You’d better not think about running away.”
This means that false information was spread to overcome the crisis.
Of course, it seems like the probability is low.
furthermore.
“Hehe, I’m confident in my information, so I won’t run away. “You’re going to keep your eyes closed anyway, right?”
Putting people together.
Was this expectation too natural for me?
Charon no longer even pretended to be surprised.
instead.
Pisik-.
Charon sighed and laughed.
It’s not acting, it’s real laughter.
I couldn’t believe it. That Charon is laughing.
“They said I dreamed of a gutter rat… … “But it’s still as good as a baby rat.”
Baby rat?
Does that mean it’s smaller than a rat?
Well, it seemed like I passed the passing mark.
“I wasted so much time. “I will return quickly.”
“Hehe, I don’t know if the kids are okay. Isn’t that right, Teacher Charon?”
“… … Don’t smirk. The word ‘Mr. Charon’ is also creepy. “Whenever I refer to you as you.”
Did I do that?
It was such an intense psychological battle that I don’t even remember much.
Well, the [cringing tone] may be the result of saying the appropriate words for the situation.
“Hehe, you’re mistaken.”
“… … .”
“Then what shall we call it? you? Gutter rat? Either that or… … Respected senior?”
“… … .”
“okay. I would like you as a senior. “Because I’m a rat recognized by my senior.”
Charon frowned.
“If you call me senior one more time, I will break your neck.”
“Then Lord Charon?”
puck!
Craddangtang!
Charon’s kick came out of nowhere.
Strangely enough, it didn’t hurt. This means that it was not the intention to cause injury.
Charon said to me, who was pinned upside down against the wall.
“Roll more.”
“yes?”
“Isn’t that right after a fierce battle over there? “If your clothes are sloppy, you will arouse unnecessary suspicion.”
This space, where traces of [Ilseom] remain, cannot be made public.
You have to act as if you were in the group from beginning to end.
For that, camouflage is essential.
-That was Caron’s thought.
The problem is that that’s not a good enough reason for kicking?
He said while giving a thumbs up.
“okay. “As expected, you are a senior.”
“… … “Let me help you especially this time.”
Then he started rolling me around.
With your feet, not your hands. Very sincerely.
‘What on earth did I do wrong?!’
What did I do to harass Luna?
Did you decide to lie?
Did you threaten me?
I didn’t want to treat you like a senior!
You did all four?
That would be an illusion.
Because there is no way a pure person like me could have done such a bad thing.
“Your face is so clean too.”
Charon smeared mud on my face.
Is it my imagination that he seems to be smiling?
“Hehe, you look happy.”
“It’s an illusion.”
ah-ha, I see.
mistaken.
After all, this guy is the root of all evil.
* * *
He returned jointly with Charon.
It was easy to guess the timing to get out of the fantasy magic circle.
This is because Charon saw the timing was right.
It was perfect timing that even the instructors didn’t notice at all.
“Transport the seriously injured here!”
“Minorly injured, this way!”
Instructors and children were busy carrying the injured person.
The battle seemed to be over.
The corpses of ants scattered throughout the cavity testified to the fierce battle.
“Please refrain from doing anything that stands out from now on. “I mean, act like a street rat.”
“I’m a little rat, right?”
“… … .”
I felt Charon’s gaze glaring at me.
Yes, if you don’t look, it’s okay~.
What can you do in a place with so many people?
“And one more thing… … .”
I tried to listen, but I couldn’t hear what was said.
what? Is this a new type of voice phishing to turn my head?
I desperately tried not to turn my head.
But I had no choice but to turn my head.
This is because shocking words came out of Charon’s mouth.
“Don’t be friendly with Luna.”
“… … ?”
Did you like it that way? What is the age difference before personality?
I looked at Charon with pitiful eyes.
This is because I became increasingly disappointed with the character of Charon.
“… … “I think I’m misunderstanding something.”
“… … “It’s an illusion.”
Sasasak-.
But unlike his mouth, his body was honest.
My body stayed away from Charon.
“… … “It’s a real misunderstanding.”
“The explanation must be given to the noble court. “I feel like I’ve already eaten it all.”
“We made a deal! “I also made a deal with Renia!”
Charon shouted urgently.
You made a deal with the head of the Leicester family?
“What was your deal?”
“… … “It’s a secret.”
Wow, you’re using my speaking style arbitrarily?
This is truly shameless.
“Zero!!”
It was a time when they were trying to corner Charon.
Luna appeared from nowhere and shouted.
No, if it weren’t for the voice, I wouldn’t have even noticed it was Luna.
My hair is all over the place.
Her face was full of dried tears and snot.
Because his entire body was stained with green fluid.
“Zero!”
Luna… … No, a green monster came running and hugged me.
Yes, I see. Are you saying I want to become a green monster too?
“you stupid! Where have you been!”
“Hehe, I was struggling to survive. “I think that’s it.”
“Are there any ants left? where? “Where are you?”
You’ve become a green monster instead of a human, right?
And even if it weren’t for that, I think I’d die, Luna.
Burning blazing-.
I feel like Charon is going to kill me with his eyes.
“You idiot! fool! sea anemone! “Hwaaaaa!”
But Luna wasn’t even 1mm away from me.
He just shed tears while hugging me tightly.
“Charon! “There are three seriously injured people!”
“Tsk! wait. “I will see for myself.”
Charon left us with his tongue clenched.
Yet his head was turned towards us.
What is that monster? Can an assassin’s neck be bent up to 180 degrees?
“Miss Luna, you’re a little off… … .”
“no! you stupid!”
The kids are whispering that it’s a good time.
The worst situation, properly captured by Charon.
Still, it’s nice that someone cares about me.
It didn’t feel too bad.
