“Oh, eternal snowflake! Do you have it??”
Scarlett's grip on my collar became stronger..
But it's not as cruel as before..
A firm hand full of earnestness.
Scarlett's earnestness was conveyed through her hands..
“Sell it to me! I'll pay whatever the price is!”
How did I find out about my sister's existence, how did I know that I had Scabies Disease, and how did I know that the cure was Eternal Snowflake?.
The attitude is that everything doesn’t matter. but.
“Hehehe, none..”
“shit! Well then! There's no way a guy like you has it!”
It didn't take long for eyes full of hope to turn into despair..
And this is also true the other way around..
“For now..”
“……?”
“Spring returns after this winter. It will be in my hands then.”
You might have to push yourself a bit, but it's not impossible..
If Scarlett faithfully helps me during this time, the chances will be even greater..
“……Are you saying you will hand it over to me then??”
“That's right. If you work for me until then, I'll hand it over to you for free..”
“under! Do you think I'm a fool? You have to say something that makes sense! The eternal snowflake…….”
“A mysterious flower that seems to come out of folk tales or fairy tales, a flower that is questionable as to whether it really exists. So you can't believe me. That's what you wanted to say?”
“…….”
Scarlett closed her mouth. He probably said what he wanted to say because it came out of my mouth.
I said, lightly pushing away Scarlett's hand that was still holding my collar..
“Eternal snowflakes are real. It's hard to get, but it's not impossible..”
“……If so, I just need to save it. I don't need your help.”
“Hehe, are you sure you're okay? You probably haven't earned anything so far..”
“They say you can do it, but there’s nothing I can’t do. Thank you for giving me the information that it is real. Get out now.”
No, Scarlett cannot be saved..
Eternal snowflake, younger sister, and.
Even his own life.
“Hehe, what is the current progress??”
“Progress?”
“A sculpture bottle. How fragmented is it??”
“……lie down.”
“1I guess there's about a year left..”
“That's enough time. That's more than enough to save snowflakes. Charon will definitely have information. Even if you do not have permission to access the information, if you state the circumstances,…….”
I shook my head.
“It's going to be hard. This is information that Teacher Charon does not have..”
“what……?”
To put it bluntly, Charon does not know where the eternal snowflake is..
How do I know that? very simple reasoning.
The fact that Scarlett was a gutter rat is information that wasn't in the game..
In other words, he betrayed Charon and quit being a gutter rat for some reason..
The reason is most likely the eternal snowflake that Scarlett is looking for..
With time running out, Scarlett eventually told Charon the truth and asked him to save her sister..
Charon would have answered that he did not know such information..
It was natural for Scarlett to quit being a rat after hearing that answer. The most important thing to him is saving his sister..
‘It is unknown whether Charon left Scarlett alone or maimed her in the process.…….’
Anyway, Scarlett survived and wandered around the continent, finally finding her eternal snowflake..
But all that greeted him was a stiff statue of his sister..
So Scarlett wanders the continent, half-mad..
Scarlett lived without being able to die.
Was it resentment that he couldn't save his sister because of insufficient information?.
It shows the madness of being obsessed with all the information and ‘mysteries’ in the world..
In particular, he will go to any lengths to obtain mystery, and will not hesitate to kill..
But the most serious problem is.
Scarlett did not hesitate to make a deal with the ‘devil’..
Did he think that the devil had the same situation as himself, or was he trying to take revenge on the humans who controlled the information?.
I gave them whatever they needed..
As a result, the power of the demon army grew stronger, and the human coalition executed Scarlett for her crime..
There is no way for a person who lived without being able to die to be afraid of death..
Scarlett wasn't sad. just.
In the past, I was just sad that I couldn't save my sister..
‘This is Scarlett’s storage, a panoramic store.’
The legendary anecdote that he sold rare items even before he was executed is a bonus..
Anyway, Scarlett won't be able to save her sister..
Unless I help.
Scarlett burst out laughing..
“That's funny. I can't believe you have information that not even I, or even Charon, know about. There's no way a kid like you would have that kind of information.!”
“Hehe, so it is possible to make a deal with Teacher Charon. unlike you.”
“…….”
“I haven't been able to find it so far, there is no information from Mr. Charon, and there is only about a year left..”
[[Open eyes] skill was used to pressure Scarlett..
“Hehe, can you really do it? I'm curious..”
“…….”
Scarlett closed her mouth, lost in thought..
Charon, the rat, and me and the eternal snowflake. They are probably weighing the two..
‘But in the end, you'll have no choice but to take my hand.’
If I were not careful, it might have sounded like a threat, but now that I know that Lucia and Charon are protecting me, I will look like a big deal..
The hand extended by a big man is not a threat..
It's a 'helping hand' extended to the unfortunate..
“……I told you to work for me. Exactly what kind of thing it is?”
“Control of information about Teacher Charon, and a simple errand? Hehe, how do you feel? It's no big deal, right? Wow, she can only do something like this and save her sister. I would have done it a million times more..”
Tingling-.
Scarlett rolled her eyes. I also glanced at him..
I don't know if it's visible due to narrow eyes..
“Phew…….”
Scarlett stroked her red hair and sighed..
It looks like he's finished organizing his thoughts. Of course his choice was.
“……It won't be easy to clean up afterwards. I have to betray Charon..”
“Hehe, it's not betrayal. This means that when you have something to say about me, you have to check with me first..”
“That's what betrayal is?”
is it? Well, it's none of my business..
Because that's Scarlett's responsibility..
“What should I do? Oh no. What can I do??”
“You can speak comfortably. 'Cause it's a deal.”
“……Then let's do it. Now, what should I do from now on??”
“First of all, it's a secret that we made a deal. Of course, the fact that we talked about eternal snowflakes will also be a secret..”
“Are you saying it's okay for me to ask about eternal snowflakes in private??”
After all, it is a future all-purpose store. know how things are working around.
When I nodded, Scarlett looked satisfied and at the same time gave me an admiring look..
The satisfaction that comes from knowing that the route that asks Charon is alive..
And it's my admiration for the fact that I'm sure Charon doesn't know about the eternal snowflake..
“I wish I could hide my skills as much as possible. It would be good if you make small mistakes so that you can be fired from the gutters within a year..”
“Are you telling me to pretend to be incompetent??”
“Yeah, I guess I'd better just say what you guessed earlier..”
“Reasoning? Are you saying that a manager-level rat has ties to you??”
“Yes, I found out your name through a different route. There's no way they would sell me information in the first place..”
“……Was it a stupid guess? Well, that's it. It’s actually easier because you don’t have to make excuses..”
Besides that, we kissed and talked about a few other things..
Because Charon is not a soft being..
“Don't pretend to be disheveled and don't attract Charon's attention. And is there anything else??”
Of course, there are some things Scarlett would do well to do right away. but.
‘It's not a completely trustworthy relationship yet..’
We've just made the first connection.
Scarlett says her sister is precious to her, but if she had tremendous power or a reward in front of her, she might try to take it..
‘You may be thinking, ‘I just need to use this power to find the eternal snowflake.’…….
‘Because humans are inherently faithful to their desires..’
I know what kind of life the character Scarlett will lead, but I don't completely know her personality and tendencies..
It means that it can change at any time, for better or for worse..
A relationship that is just about to come together for the first time.
In some ways, it's a more unstable relationship than if you didn't know each other..
And this.
‘The same goes for Scarlett..’
We need to build trust.
Eternal snowflakes are a type of ‘mystery’ that cannot be explained by magic, engineering, or theology..
In other words, the easiest way to gain Scarlett's trust is.
‘It shows the ‘mystery’..
“Approximately 3km to the southeast. There will be a small shrine..”
“shrine?”
“Yes, bow before it three hundred times and then destroy the shrine. Then a small tombstone will appear. please bring it to me.”
“……It's an unpleasant thing, but it can't be helped. I have to avoid Charon's gaze, so it may take some time..”
“It doesn't matter.”
The monument contains mystical powers..
I know the location of a mystery that is difficult to find.?
Scarlett will feel that there is something to me, and her hopes of obtaining an eternal snowflake will naturally increase..
And this is why I recruited Scarlett.
Unlike Charon, who doubts everything, you can get what you want without pressure..
‘There are a few mysteries that will be painful if you lose them. If Scarlett steals it…….’
Just kill and take it..
If he stole it somewhere else, he'll use Charon to get it back..
What about Scarlett's younger sister??
……What do you know?.
‘I'm not good enough to take care of a traitor's sister..’
It has been like that until now, but from now on it is just a series of choices..
Scarlett's decision to turn her back on Charon was his choice, and my decision to hire him was also my choice..
In the future, betraying each other is also a kind of choice..
I just hope we don't regret our choices.
I asked Scarlett, who was scribbling down my instructions..
“Oh, by the way, did Teacher Charon give you any instructions??”
“instruction?”
“Yeah, because I have no idea why they sent me here..”
“There is no such thing. I was just ordered to feed you some goodies..”
Charon just used a street rat for a meal.?
It may be so. but.
“Then why did you attack me??”
“Ah, that's right. I forgot. You told me to make an example of Luna every time you tried to put your hands on her. Well, maybe it's because I misunderstood you as a newbie rat..”
Luna? But didn't Scarlett attack me every time I approached Leger??
“Who is Miss Luna??”
“huh? Cute, popular, and attractive. He's the only kid like that. One was imitating a soldier, and the other was no better than an animal..”
Only then could I understand the whole situation..
‘what… … Then, I used the rat to feed Luna a delicious meal.?’
A man named Charon. The more I look at him, the more I don't understand him..
It seems like Scarlett is misunderstanding something.…….
‘It looks fun, so let's just leave it at that..’
I left the bar with a slight smile..
* * *
As soon as I came out, what met me was the image of Luna and Leger lying on their tadpole stomachs..
Luna glared at me. Eyes full of suspicion.
“Hehe, Miss Luna? Why are you looking at me like that??”
“No, I was just wondering if one more guy would come out..”
“yes?”
“You made three women come out. So I thought the owner would come out too..”
Was it like that? Now that I think about it, I think it was like that..
Euridia, Rodelin, and Siscon Lucia.
It's really a world where everyone is abnormal except me..
“Is it enough for a woman to do perverted things? … That's new information. I thought it was natural for men to do this too..”
What on earth do you look at people for? I like women! Also, a slim woman!
“Hehe, what a pervert. I'm only guilty of talking.”
“well? Alex, Raimon, Teron, Dyke. Everyone is busy looking at you, right? Same goes for Teacher Caron..”
Luna continued powerfully..
“Especially Teacher Caron. My intuition is screaming! I'm very interested in you!”
I wish you would just throw that intuition away. Because nothing is right.
“It would be a big deal if you were caught perverting both men and women like this... … What do we do? Should I at least be shackled??”
“Hehe, don't worry. Because I like women. Of course, except for Miss Luna..”
“Why are you leaving me out? Put it back right now.”
“Yes, I understand. I also like Luna a lot..”
“joy! I guess I told you before not to fall for me? Anyway, even if you're too pretty, it's a problem?”
“…….”
I don't know which beat I should go to..
It was a time when I was holding my dizzy head..
The bar door burst open behind her, and Scarlett screamed..
“Always take care of yourself! Because I will dedicate my body and mind to you until this is over.!”
Then he goes back into the bar..
What is it? Have I done now what I was unable to express thanks to because of my embarrassment??
After scratching my cheek, I looked back and could see Luna and Leger far away..
What's unusual is that Luna's eyes are shaking like an aspen tree trembling..
“Miss Luna?”
Sasasak-.
As I took a step towards them, Luna and Leger hurriedly walked away..
“It's okay, zero. I'm a person who respects my friends' tastes..”
“yes? what is that…….”
Sasasak-.
As I walked one step further, the distance increased by that much..
what. What is this street!? They said they would respect me! Oh no. But that doesn't mean I have that kind of taste(?)!
“Come slowly! We'll walk a little ahead.”
So we headed to the dormitory while maintaining a considerable distance..
It was a day that made me want to cry.
