Marquis' Express Butler

Mustang has brought us something simple to drink. It was more of a drink near water than a tea.

“Let me formally introduce myself. This is Mustang, my right arm. He plays an important role in the mystery meeting. Think of most of the information as coming through this person once. ”

“This is Dylan. Take good care of him. ”

“I really am.”

Mustang glanced at me with a sparkle. He even has a smile on his mouth. I don't feel so good seeing a man like this.

“It's an honor to have someone to see next to you in person. ”

“My information is already circulating a lot, isn't it? ”

“It's a big deal to leave information and let the king out, too. in our industry. ”

I nodded. There's an infomercial battle going on in the unseen. I heard that the Emergency Council also has its own military organization.

“What the hell happened in the Kingdom? Otherwise, the National Intelligence Agency is noisy with this kind of information. ”

When Mustang asked, I took a look at Chris. The fact that he nodded is probably only a few people who know Chris' secret.

The answer came from Chris' mouth.

“It may seem like a business partner to us, but it's no different than my savior. ”

“You mean the mercenary? ”

“I restored my Mana circuits. ”

“Yes?”

Mustang was surprised. He looks surprised for a while. It is great, no, unbelievable, that you have restored Manacles that much.

“You didn't know the savior. ”

The Mustang stands up toward me and suddenly kneels down on one knee and takes an example.

“Your joy is my joy. Thank you for your hospitality. Lord Dylan.”

“You don't have to do this. I had help, so it's just a deal. ”

“But……. ”

“I know. Me too. Whatever information you bring in, Susie's not in the right business. But I also want to invest as a merchant. with the possibilities of Chris and the mystery society. ”

Mustang smiles and nods several times. Kneeling heavily, I get up and grab him by the hand.

Fortunately, Mustang rises from his stubbornness.

“We'll see each other often, so let's not be too hard on each other. You look older than me. We must protect what we protect. ”

“What good is age on this floor? Ability is important."

“That's not what I meant. Let's be friends. I'm uncomfortable with this. ”

I led him back to the table. I felt like they were holding me back, but I was also jealous that all of this was loyal to Chris.

I have Eluna and Calmond, too, but I can't help but notice someone else's cake looks big.

When I sat down, the story returned to its origin. Chris smiled and asked.

“You don't have to introduce me to Dylan, do you? ”

“I have enough information about Lord Dylan. But what don't I know? ”

Chris looks at me and gestures. I made a Demibeast and developed fire magic.

“Oh…! Oh, my God!"

As he couldn't believe the fact that he was facing two Mana users, Mustang glanced at the fire magic I had developed.

I can't see any sign of an open mouth.

For Mustang's jaw joint health, I've harvested Mana and destroyed the fire magic.

“You must be Mana! I was wondering how you recovered your Mana Circuit, but I didn't know there was such a secret! ”

He's got a big mouth. But the fact that my circles are located in the heart, not in a short circuit, is very high-end information. Not to be leaked to anyone.

I plan to open up to people around me that I am Mana User, but I don't intend to let them know that I have a circle in my heart.

It'll be bad enough to prove you're a Mana user anyway. There's nothing to gain by telling me that there's a circle at the heart.

“Perhaps we should discard the user information. Somehow I always thought the men who were after Lord Dylan would be swept away, but there was this secret. They had no choice but to be humiliated. ”

“Don't throw it away, just keep it. Because that's good for me. But what other information do you have? about me. ”

With Chris' permission, Mustang remembered a story from my apprenticeship.

The anecdotes that defeated Arthurs in the duel and defeated Sir Laurentz. He and Arthurs did a tax investigation there and even told them that the Black Pig tribe had been wiped out.

Subsequently, there was a role in Mathis. He developed fountain pens and ball pens to attract the attention of the nobles by capturing the commercial powers around him.

That's amazing.

I couldn't help but be surprised.

Is this a million-gold detail? It was as if Lohan next to me had briefed someone.

“That's interesting. It's in my information for the unexpected. ”

“If you're an informant, that's all you'll have. because the length and accuracy of information is directly related to life. ”

“My information is expensive. It will be more expensive in the future. I mean, you know what I mean? ”

“Hahaha. Of course. Don't worry too much. One day you will pay for this information. Trust me."

That's when Chris interrupted.

“From now on, treat Dylan's words as my orders. ”

“Yes, my lord. ”

In Chris' words, I was surprised, but I did not refuse his favor. It is also inappropriate to refuse in this situation.

In a word, I ended up in the same position as the mystery man. In his organization.

After the introduction, we got to the point.

Chris asked Mustang.

“How are the Secret Service doing these days? ”

“Well, to be honest, it's not unusual. There's no clear movement, but we seem to be paying attention to the impact of this blackness. ”

“Well, you never thought a fireball would fly. Did they notice? ”

“We don't know that yet. There's no response from the blackness. ”

Chris sighs with his arms crossed. It looks like there's still some loose ends to your use of fireballs.

But I don't regret wearing a fireball at all.

“It's a good thing we can distract them. ”

“What are you talking about? ”

“In a fireball. It would be a lot more convincing for us to mobilize a wizard than I would have guessed. ”

My words narrowed Chris' eyes. He looked at me and waited for the next story.

“My information has been going on since I was born, right? He's a deacon of Adeline, after all. Everyone knows you didn't even go near the tower. ”

“That's right. ”

“Then under the Eradication Act, the possibility that I am Mana User will be eliminated. ”

Chris and Mustang agreed. I was a horse.

“Then all I have to say is that I got some magical kid involved. That would make their heads more complicated. Where the hell did you get a wizard? ”

Chris nods, thinking for a moment. It meant admitting.

“It'll be a lot easier to tell stories that way, I'm sure. ”

“So I have a question, is there any way to use a wizard? Seems like the only way to escape or end up dead is if you're strangled in a horse tower. ”

“It's not impossible. In fact, there are people who secretly make magic tools and sell them, and there are very few people involved in assassinations or raids. ”

“That's gonna cost you a fortune. ”

“Those people don't move with money. Usually it burns with vengeance, so it moves on its own. That's why it's harder to mobilize. The situation needs to fit perfectly. ”

“Isn't that better? Neither do I, so I can't conclude. ”

Chris reserves the answer, and Mustang intervenes instead.

“Surely Lord Dylan is right, given the silence of the Dark Lord's network. It was too quiet. ”

“Have you heard the rumors of their base being destroyed? ”

“I wrapped it nicely and sprinkled it on all the secrets. ”

“Response?”

Mustang's jaw rises.

“The atmosphere is unbelievable, but you might find this interesting. If the blackouts were to be completely broken, wouldn't the ranking of the Secret Parties change? ”

“How high is the Black Blade? ”

“Our information is third. not in the kingdom, but in the whole continent. ”

So it's a pretty high ranking story. Do you think there's a secret society in Adeline? While thinking about it, Chris asked.

“Could that have been part of another squad in the Black Death? ”

“As you said, we did our best to get the information into Red's command squad. He should have heard by now. ”

Mustang then kindly explained to me the characteristics of Red. Pride is strong and temperamental, but loyalty to the organization is high.

“It's one of the two anyway. If Red is moving because of his pride, maybe we can dig a trap and get rid of him. So an arm of the black star flies away. There are other members involved in a private relationship with Red who will take revenge one by one, so it's easy to get rid of the rest. But if he is more loyal, he will be patient. No matter what rumors you hear. ”

“So the conclusion is that we have to leave it in the sky. ”

“For now. ”

The silence subsides for a moment. We spent time thinking about each other, trying to come up with good ideas. No one interfered with each other.

I was the first to break the silence.

“I have no choice but to go to Barista and sit there. Waiting for the basics, but we have to give him a chance to make his move. ”

“What are you going to do? ”

“If you walk around in dangerous places alone, won't he jump in? I don't think I'll be able to stand by if someone wants to kill me, either. ”

“The only problem with your plan is that it's always risky. ”

Chris sighs, but no more nagging.

I had the support of the Starfleet military and was able to refine more specifically what to do in the commercial city of Barista.

But an unexpected plan came out of Chris' mouth.

“We can't just sit here. Mustang, give me a false lead. ”

“Yes, go ahead. ”

“A renegade at the Delfino Merchant Guild with a grudge is rampaging. Someone very good. Identification should be adequately disguised. Can you do that? ”

“Interesting plan. Very well, I will give you a satisfactory result. ”

After the operation was set up, we left the house with Mustang.
