Academy is frowned upon but not dark-Episode 146
Episode 146
146fury. 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's door didn't open..
Boom boom! Clink-!
All I can hear repeatedly is the sound of something breaking and breaking inside..
Luna frowned slightly..
“……What the hell is going on in there??”
“Hmm, looks like they are busy hiding their illegal activities. Why not give it a try? If only it were possible to avoid my eyes.”
“hot… … ! Seniors! Could it be that he is trying to run away with evidence of a crime? There's a hidden back road or something.?”
“hmm… … ! It's quite possible. Miss Luna, can you help me for a moment? We need to check and block the escape route..”
“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 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 long bangs, sparkle..
Leger took out several thick cardboard boxes, looked at the colors, then chose one and got to work..
I started working on making a box that matched the pattern on the wall of the bar..
A situation where the party has no control at all.
But I could say it was a good situation..
‘I needed some time to sort out 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. 'Cause I know that.’
I need to know the exact time, so we'll have to talk, but I won't be able to deny the information I have..
So Scarlett is no problem. The problem now is.
‘They say they don’t know what Charon’s goal is.…….’
Charon is the epitome of efficiency.
I'm not the type of person to waste time on useless things..
This can be seen just by looking at the selection and deployment of the most appropriate 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, she probably brought me here because I pretended that the bar was 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, but.
‘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 interior of the restaurant was clearly visible..
He was busy walking around there, preparing for business..
“no. That can't be possible. She'll run away soon. Everyone, don't relax!”
When Rodelin's tension and anger were rising with no end in sight,.
Squeak-.
“Sorry for keeping you waiting. Come in..”
Scarlett opened the door and welcomed us..
It was clear that it was a pretty rough time for him as well as for us..
Although I was trying to smile, I couldn't hide the sweat dripping down my forehead and neck..
“what? It's cleaner 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. The exterior looks like a bar..”
“Sir, you have great insight. This is a restaurant with that concept. Due to operating cost issues, 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. I almost got killed by Charon..
“……This can't be happening.”
But Rodelin doesn't seem to agree..
“Owner, you must have a business license to operate.?”
“Hehe, sure, 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 pay my bills faithfully. Tax evasion is more dangerous than an invasion by a military commander..”
Scarlett took out a folder and handed it to Rodelin..
I took a quick look, and it was full of receipts I received after paying my taxes..
“Hmm… … You paid faithfully. Can I look around the kitchen for a moment??”
“Hehe, you can watch as much as you want..”
Rodelin enters the kitchen.
After a while she came back and looked at Scarlett and said.
“……There's nothing wrong. Cleaning is perfect and materials are managed neatly..”
“It's a restaurant, so it's natural. Now, everyone, please sit down. Appetizers will be served soon..”
As Scarlett disappeared into the kitchen, Rodelin came to us 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 wait and see..”
I sat down in a well-lit place..
A four-person table, which can be considered the basics 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. It's a place where you can face me.
And naturally, in the diagonal direction, Leger… … didn't exist.
“……?”
The place where Leger was located was next to Luna..
How can I sit next to Luna again when I'm sitting next to her??
I took a seat on Luna's right, and Leger took a seat on Luna's left..
Yes. Instead of sitting on the chair, I sat on the floor on the left..
It's not on the bare floor since it's in a box, but anyway..
4The extraordinaryness that shattered the general idea of being at the 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 left to me..
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 it nicely..
Anyway, today is the day I work on raising Rodelin's favorability towards me..
It is convenient to think of this as part of that..
“Hehe, Ms. 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 seat is close enough..”
“Then why are you there??”
“That's right…….”
That's right?
“Well, you might get attacked..”
It's an attack. Right.
It can happen anytime in this tough world..
but.
“Hehe, this is a restaurant. It's a place where you can't be attacked or anything like that. In the first place, we were the only guests..”
“An attack can 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 glanced at our faces.
She immediately lowered her head..
“Well, I still want to stay here. Joe, I like small places..”
Yes, I see. Are you going to stay there? Then I can't help it.
I have no choice but to pull it out.
“Hehe, come out here. Don't be afraid.”
“Hee hee hee hee!”
Leger began to protest, waving his arms..
Is it because of the training these days? The counterattack is quite fierce..
‘But I also trained.’
Ten days of hellish sparring with Lucia.
Is it thanks to that? I was able to find a gap between the wildly flailing arms..
‘thread of gap!’
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, ahhh…….”
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..
‘Soon there will be no choice but to come out of the box..’
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. Is this a treatment for behavior correction?.”
“Oh, I see. It is a treatment for behavior correction..”
Luna's eyes lit up..
“Then, try some treatment too..”
Wow-!
Terrible pain hit 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 to do now is.
‘Finding out who the cute kid you mentioned is.’
noisy table.
Scarlett's eyes quickly scanned them..
There is 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 is a girl with long bangs covering her face, who is confused and doesn't know what to do..
‘Right. That child is the one that Karon told me to take 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 rat.’
Of course, it could be another child. But that twintail will definitely not be a joke..
Cute, attractive, popular kid.
Because there is no way such a violent child could be like that..
The most urgent work is done. Now all that's left is.
‘5Providing food comparable to a star restaurant, and getting information from that boy..’
Scarlett's hands moved busier than ever..
* * *
“Appetizers are here! Please enjoy until appetizers are served.!”
Something that looked like pudding was placed in front of us..
“Hmm, something refreshing tastes good. The skills are quite good.”
“surely… … ! It's much better than the place I originally went to.?”
It was just as Rodelin and Luna said..
Even though I have a taste for Yellowy, I was able to feel the quality of the taste..
If anything is strange.
‘What's in front of Leger is a little better.?’
From color to freshness and even 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..
Puuk!
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.
