“Cough! Cough!”
Scarlett came back to life, but there was nothing they could do right away..
Because I couldn't come to my senses..
Judging by the fact that he lost focus and was suffering, it seemed like it would take some time to recover..
“But why did you come back??”
“I came back because I had something to check..”
“Confirmation?”
“This guy threw a knife at you. At the time, I just ignored the situation, but no matter how I thought about it, it was strange..”
Now that I think about it, something like that happened..
My memory is vague because so many things happened, but I clearly remember Lucia catching the flying knife..
“But sure enough? He was trying to stab you. So I entered right away..”
The curtains on the window fluttered in the wind..
Lucia seemed to have come in through that window..
‘I didn't even feel like I was there, let alone smell it..’
When I peeked outside through the window, I could see Leger lying down using Luna's knee as a pillow..
Luna's gaze was directed in this direction, but she did not show any special action..
It means he didn't even notice that Lucia was back in the bar..
‘It's a ghostly move..’
As my level increases, will I be able to move like that? I got a little curious.
“But why is this guy targeting you? Do you know anything??”
“……It may seem like I know, or it may seem like I don’t know..”
“what. That ambiguous answer. Well, that's enough. Just ask directly.”
Scarlett suddenly came to her senses and started paying attention..
Lucia grabbed Scarlett by the collar and lifted her up with one hand..
“Why did you throw the knife at Zero??”
“Well, so... … Si, it's a mistake.”
“This is amazing. How dare you lie to me.”
Lucia's hand, which was holding her collar, moved like lightning to Scarlett's neck..
As gravity naturally caused her to become strangled, Scarlett's face became red and bloodshot..
Scarlett struggled and resisted, but Lucia did not move..
“I guess I looked like an idiot who couldn't distinguish between mistakes and intentions.?”
“Big, big, big.……!”
“Why did you aim for zero? If you don't want to die, you'd better speak quickly.?”
“Ugh!!”
Scarlett's eyes turned red as the veins burst..
It's not a good situation..
Even though she's at a low level, Scarlett is definitely a rat..
I'm not going to give in to these threats and reveal that I'm a gutter rat..
I have little to lose if Scarlett dies like this, but I can't let him die..
It is also someone who will be of great help to me..
‘Because it was my fault that Scarlett got caught up in the first place..’
If the game had proceeded as usual, Scarlett would have been having a leisurely life..
But the flap of my wings created a huge typhoon called Lucia, and I was sucked into it and died..
Can not help it. I have no choice but to intervene.
“Lucia.”
“why. I can't see you're busy right now?”
“It's a gutter rat..”
“what?”
“This is Mr. Charon's rat. That's the end too. If I kill him, won't he be in trouble in many ways??”
“……Tsk!”
Lucia thought for a moment and almost threw Scarlett down..
Scarlett is shedding tears and breathing heavily..
Lucia's eyes, which were looking at him, turned to me..
“How do you know that? The rat list must be confidential..”
“It's not certain yet, but it's probably right. Teacher Charon sent me here..”
“what? What does that mean? What does he have to do with sending you here??”
“I made a deal with Mr. Charon. I think I somehow got involved with that person..”
“……I made a deal with that bastard.?”
That guy, that bastard.
It is a term full of negative emotions..
‘What happened with Charon??’
This is information that wasn’t in the game. Because there are almost no episodes where Lucia and Charon get involved..
Curiosity as a stagnant object raised its head..
But now Scarlett is the priority.
It will be enough to find out later what happened between the two..
“Yeah, that's all I know..”
“But why were you doing that? If that bastard sent you here, there's no reason for him to attack you.?”
It's just as Lucia said. If you decide to make a deal, it's like an alliance..
Scarlett has no reason to attack me, and I can't think of any excuse..
But it's okay. I just need to show off my special skills..
He said as he approached Scarlett..
“Hehehe, we decided to be friends..”
“Cluck, cluck! What bullshit is that?…….”
Scarlett sharpens her edge even while coughing full of pain..
He put his hand on his shoulder and said with his eyes.
‘Hey, smile. Smile. I want to be beaten again?’
Did it reach my heart? Or maybe he didn't want to be beaten by Lucia again?.
“Ha ha ha ha ha…….”
Scarlett smiled awkwardly, putting her arms around each other's shoulders..
Anyone can see that this is an extremely flimsy excuse..
Lucia, who was looking at us, burst into laughter..
“These days, if you want to be friends, you have to stick a knife in each other's bodies.?”
“You know it well. Friendship tattoo… … No, friendship scars. Something like that.”
“Hmm~ Kids these days don’t know even if they know.?”
Lucia looked at me intently. Scarlett has already left her interest.
Rather, it was a transaction between me and Charon. Looks curious about it.
Making a deal with Charon means I have something worth giving to him..
‘You may have thought, ‘This guy might be worth more than you think.’.
“Hehe, let’s postpone our conversation until later. Because we have a lot of time.”
“…… I don't know what deal you made with that dirty bastard or how you did it, but you better be careful. His attitude is annoying, but he's the kind of guy who stabs people in the back..”
“Let's be careful..”
“Don't die and see you tomorrow. Because I have more questions.”
Is it because he hit the player? Lucia expressed her intention to step down obediently..
But I can't rest assured.
‘Because they can hide their presence and eavesdrop on our conversation..’
[[Extra senses] are traps, assassinations, etc. A skill that only reacts to things that can affect me.
They may not respond to Lucia who is simply trying to get information..
So, throw in the bait. A Lucia-specific bait called Rodelin..
“Come to think of it… … I have a favor to ask of you..”
“I do it in a variety of ways. What?”
“Senior Rodelin frowned. I wish you could free it for me..”
“……Delrin is upset? That can't be possible. She hasn't sulked since she was eight.”
Well, it's like Rodelin. She hasn't sulked since she was eight.
This is the first time I learned this, but it's even better.
‘Lucia, a siscon, wouldn't be able to stand it..’
He said this to Lucia, who still reacted in disbelief..
“Hehe, it's not a lie. I saw it clearly. ah… … But you might not see it. Rodelin is good at controlling her emotions..”
Huh-!
I closed my eyes due to the sudden rush of wind..
I opened my eyes right away, but Lucia was already gone..
There was only a gust of wind blowing through the bar..
‘Rodelin must be having a hard time too..’
Severe ciscon that appears to be incurable... … No, you have a pervert as your older sister..
Well, it's none of my business..
Rodelin specializes in dealing with perverts, so you'll be fine..
I just have to do my job..
He said to Scarlett, who was staring blankly at the window..
“Hehe, it's finally sorted out now. How about, let’s talk openly among friends..”
“……who is your friend?”
“Of course it's me. Didn't you save my life?.”
Scarlett raised her middle finger..
Well, it's big and beautiful. It's not as good as mine.
Of course, I'm talking about fingers..
‘I wasted too much time on Rodelin and Lucia..’
If I were alone, I would talk leisurely, but Luna and Leger are waiting outside..
No more time for jokes with Scarlett..
So let’s get straight to the point..
“first of all… … I'm not a rat.”
“what? Then what is it?”
“Didn’t you hear it earlier? I'm doing business with Mr. Charon..”
“……So does that mean it's true??”
“Hehe, wouldn't you know it from the fact that Lucia agrees and moves on right away??”
Scarlett's eyes changed. From eyes full of suspicion to eyes mixed with awe and admiration..
This is a natural reaction since I know exactly what doing business with Charon means..
perhaps.
‘You might be comparing yourself.’
The image of myself at the bottom of the gutter rat, and the image of me dealing with Charon, who is at the top of the gutter rat..
Even though I'm younger, I'm sure you're feeling extremely defeated by now..
“And I need your help.”
“……You need my help. That's such a blatant lie. Why don't you just be honest and say you want to get information??”
“Hehe, I can see it clearly. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Teacher Karon... … No, it's your image rising above that..”
Charon, who oversees the Empire's rat population..
But even Charon used to love Scarlett, who was called the jack of all trades..
Information is information, but it was because they had a lot of unusual items..
So it's not a lie to say that Scarlett will rise higher than Charon..
“……I can't believe I see it. I can't trust you at all because my eyes are narrowed..”
“Hehe, is that so??”
“It looks like he's trying to open my mouth somehow... … You'd better give up. 'Cause you've seen it before, I'll never open my mouth.”
Scarlett did not give in to Lucia's power or even in situations where her life was in danger..
Because he's a loyal rat? no.
The real reason why Scarlett didn’t give in until the end…….
‘This is because there is information that can only be obtained by working under Charon..’
And that information can be given.
me too.
“If you do this, you'll be in trouble. How can you treat someone who is supposed to be your lifesaver so poorly?.”
“Hehehe, a lifesaver? If you had saved me before this happened, I might have called you that..”
“Oh, of course I don't mean you..”
“……?”
A doubt appeared on Scarlett's face..
That's a nice expression. [Open eyes] said while using the skill.
“I'm talking about your sister..”
“How did you do that……!”
The fact that Scarlett has a younger sister is a secret that even Charon doesn't know about..
Since I know that, I can't help but be embarrassed..
Scarlett grabbed me by the collar..
“I don't know what your purpose is, but you'd better stop now! If you do something to my sister, I won't let you go.!”
Knowing my sister exists is like holding her hostage..
The right decision is to kneel rather than grab the collar..
But Scarlett didn't do that..
I was very excited. To the point where I lose my mind.
But it's still too early to be surprised.
“Eternal snowflake. Are you looking for that??”
“……!”
Scarlett's eyes widened..
That's why he became a gutter rat.
And in the future, it will be called an 'all-purpose store' and it will be an opportunity to collect all the mysterious items and information in the world..
‘sculpture bottle’.
Little by little, starting from the toes, the body hardens, and finally the head hardens, turning into a statue..
It is a rare disease among rare diseases that has only affected five people in history..
It is also an incurable disease with no cure..
No, to be exact, it is not an incurable disease..
About two centuries ago, the emperor of the Han Empire. There is a record of his granddaughter receiving treatment..
And the material for that treatment is.
This is the ‘eternal snowflake’ I mentioned a moment ago..
