I said to Charon, who was still looking disapproving..
“Hehe, you still don’t believe me??”
“……of course.”
“okay. But this is a problem that can be easily solved if you think a little differently..”
“what?”
“Believing what I say is true. Doesn’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 down the family's secret secrets..
Then one day, the Leicester family was destroyed and fell apart..
If you live for revenge?
“……Is there no evidence?.”
A tone that seems like it can't be accepted.
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??”
Much better than Luna.
There was no way to explain it other than that I was taught directly..
After a while, Charon opened his mouth..
“……I barely passed.”
“yes?”
“I knew from a long time ago that you were related to the Leicester family. I was just testing to see if I could handle that weight..”
Charon says that it has been tested so far..
But from what I saw, he was just trying to act cool..
‘What is it about passing so narrowly? … Because there was no other way, I resorted to force..’
Anyway, the first duel between Goinmul and the Imperial Rat ended in a complete victory for Goinmul..
But I didn't intend to end there.
“Do you make a deal?.”
“transaction?”
“Yes, we exchange information with each other. Let's help each other as much as possible.”
“what? Hahaha!!”
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??”
value of information.
And it was talking about the gap in information each person had..
Charon is working secretly behind the empire, and the value of the information I have as a mere 15-year-old..
There is a huge gap between the two.
I.
If it weren't for the stagnant people..
“Has there been a hole in your cesspool recently??”
Stop.
The smile disappeared from Charon's face..
You must be surprised. So much so that I can't even think of hiding my expression.
cesspit.
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..
‘Dare to wrinkle in front of a stagnant water?’
That too with information?
If I tell you everything I know, Charon will turn black..
Because the information held by stagnant people is terrifying..
“……I don't know what you're talking about.”
Hmm~ It will come out like that.?
I muttered as I passed by Charon..
“Then there is nothing we can do. This information will be destroyed…….”
“……Try spreading it somewhere. It's probably just something I made up anyway..”
Charon caught me..
If there is a hole in the cesspool, it means that there is someone among the trash rats who is stealing information..
There is a rat like that in the intelligence department, especially in the empire's intelligence department.?
It was a self-evident fact that if we could not oust the traitor, we would be in great trouble..
“This is Hus. They were providing information to warlocks..”
Charon frowned..
It may 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 a secret among secrets..
‘At this time, Charon also noticed that information was leaking..’
I just couldn't find who it was.
The game finds it near the end of Chapter 1, so there won't be a big problem if I tell you now..
‘We won't deal with him until we find solid 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??”
That's 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 now that I look at it, I realize it has a lot of value..
It wasn't unreasonable for him to be worried..
Due to its nature, information has a wide range of values, from trash to thousands of dollars..
But information is sometimes.
It has a value more important than life..
‘I guess you're worried 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's 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 shake his head..
“You'd better not even 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.?”
to stick people together.
Was this expectation too natural for me?.
Charon no longer even pretended to be surprised..
instead.
eat-.
Charon sighed and laughed..
It's not acting, it's real laughter.
I couldn't believe it. That Charon is laughing.
“They say I dreamed of a gutter rat... … Still, it's as good as a baby rat..”
baby rat?
Are you saying it's smaller than a rat?.
Well, it looks like I passed the passing mark anyway..
“I wasted so much time. come back quickly.”
“Hehe, I don't know if the kids are okay. Isn't that right, Mr. 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..”
“…….”
“So what should we call it? you? Gutter rat? Either that or… … Dear senior,?”
“…….”
“okay. I would like you as a senior. Because I am a rat recognized by my senior..”
Charon frowned..
“If you call me senior one more time, I will break your neck..”
“Then Sir Charon?”
puck!
Crunchy soup!
Charon's kick came out of nowhere.
Strangely enough, it didn't hurt. It means there was no intention to cause injury..
Charon spoke to me as I was thrown upside down against the wall..
“roll more.”
“yes?”
“Isn’t that right after a fierce battle over there? If your clothes are sloppy, it will arouse unnecessary suspicion..”
[This space, where traces of [Ilseom] remain, is a place that cannot be made public..
You have to act like you were there from start to finish..
For that, camouflage is essential..
-That was Caron's idea..
The problem is that's not a good enough reason for kicking.?
He gave a thumbs up and said.
“okay. As expected, you are a senior..”
“……Let me help you specially 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?.
Did I decide not to treat you like a senior?!
I 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 got mud all over 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..
* * *
Returned jointly with Charon.
It was easy to guess the timing to get out of the fantasy magic circle..
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.!”
“Minor injuries go here!”
Instructors and children were busy carrying the injured person..
The battle seemed over..
The corpses of ants scattered throughout the cavity proved a fierce battle..
“Refrain from doing anything that stands out in the future. This means acting like a street rat..”
“I'm a little rat?”
“…….”
I felt Charon's gaze glaring at me..
Yeah, it's okay if you don't see it.~.
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 behind it..
what? Is this a new type of voice phishing to turn my head??
I tried desperately not to turn my head..
But I couldn't help but turn my head away.
Because shocking words came out of Charon’s mouth..
“Don't be friendly with Luna..”
“……?”
Did you like it that way? Before personality, what is the age difference?.
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 now..”
“……It's an illusion.”
Sasasak-.
But unlike the mouth, the body was honest..
My body stayed away from Charon..
“……It's really a misunderstanding.”
“Please leave the explanation to the noble court. I feel like I've already eaten it all.”
“Made a deal! I also made a deal with Renia.!”
Charon shouted urgently..
He made a deal with the head of the Leicester family.?
“What was your deal??”
“……it's a secret.”
Wow, you use my speaking style however you like.?
This is really 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 scattered.
His face was full of dried tears and snot..
Because the entire body was stained with green fluid..
“Zero!”
Luna… … No, a green monster came running and hugged me..
Yes, I see. So, 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 for now though.”
“Are there any ants left? where? Where are you??”
You've become a green monster instead of a human.?
And I think I'd die if it weren't for that, Luna..
Burning Burning-.
I feel like Charon is going to kill me with his eyes..
“You idiot! fool! sea anemone! Ahhhhh!”
But Luna wasn't even 1mm away from me..
Just hug me tightly and shed tears.
“Charon! There are three seriously injured people.!”
“Tsk! wait. I will see for myself..”
Charon, who clucked his tongue loudly, left us..
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 whisper that it's a good time.
The worst situation, properly captured by Charon.
But anyway, it's nice to know that someone cares about me.
It didn't feel too bad.
