Sitting opposite Jae-ho, Dosie frowned at a stressful stomachache.
Why this man again?….
"Hey, what brings you here again this time?”
asked Dosh carefully.
I hope it's not a bother.….
"I only see and live today."
"Yes?"
"......I only see it today?"
"Suddenly, what...….”
"No, you know what. I only see it today."
"Suddenly, what...... Huck?!
Suddenly, Dessie, realizing what Jae-ho was saying, took a breath of air.
"I, I live only today."
I responded with a trembling voice.
"How much it is."
When Jae-ho stretched out his heavy forearm, Dishido put his forearms together and crossed them with an X.
"I'll show you if it's the same."
Jae-ho nodded at the subsequent words of Dessie.
This stupid act was the Axis Contact that Taylor taught me.
-It's a back alley anyway. It's like that. But it's no use doing it to the rootless punk. a bit thick You have to face those guys. Dish I've met before in the kingdom of Lassel. He's good enough.
Of course, I was going to visit Dessie in person, not in this way.
"Hmmm.... ...but why would you...….”
"You don't have to know that, do you?"
"Oh! Well, yes."
Desi realized his mistake and apologized.
The Axis is a distinct organization.
Even in the back alley, there was talk of not touching Axpace.
Nothing was more dangerous than an unknown secret group.
"But as I'm telling you in advance, we have no choice but to clarify the identity of the contact requester on the Axis side. And whether they meet or not is what they decide."
"Isn't it them who do all the lucrative work anyway?"
"Well, that's true. Let's see.... ...go straight back now and send us a contact request, and we'll be able to meet sometime tonight."
"Okay. Please."
in a hurry-
Perhaps he had a greater desire to leave in front of Jae-ho, but he left the bar with a sprint.
And as he said, I could get an answer right away.
[ Midnight. Old Red Tower Street ]
Fortunately, Axpace did not reject it.
'They have no way of opening the box either.’
* * *
At midnight that day, Jaeho headed to the appointment place with Tina.
Compared to the past, the streets where the red tower was located were gloomy.
It seemed to have become a ghost town because of the relocation of the red tower to the Elysia flower garden.
At the same time, it also meant that it was a better place for the gloomy and the poor, such as Axpace.
"Hey, what is it? What elf are you here for?"
One of the beggars who saw Tina made a fuss.
"Hey, Elf sister! Have a beer with me...... Huck?!
However, he belatedly found Jae-ho standing next to Tina and stopped talking.
"Ker, Kerhams. Drunk, drunk......... I'm suddenly sleepy...….”
He got lucky.
If I went further and said nonsense about Jae-ho, I'd have a hole in my head.
[Kojubu Bar]
Jae-ho finally found his destination.
Catchy-y-y-y-
He stepped inside with the sound of an old wooden door.
The light is only a few candles inside.
"Alsia."
In the dark, a familiar woman's voice came from the railing on the second floor.
"Goldtus."
Jabak- Jabak-
Slowly coming down the stairs, she had not put out a large gunblade, as usual.
"Because this position is not here to fight. Axpace makes sure it's built."
"That's good. Because I don't want to lose my strength for nothing."
Jae-ho sat opposite Goldus at the table in the middle.
Pachizik-
A flame that occurs in the middle of two people's gaze.
Chi-ji-ji-ji-ji-
Soon, however, Goldus slipped away first.
Goldus was so bold that he maintained his confidence in Jae-ho from the beginning, but that was not enough to keep his eyes open.
It's a matter of gut instinct...….
"Hmmm, so why did you want to meet us?"
"Well, didn't you know that? Just by looking at you, not someone else.”
"......okay. Well, I won't hide it either. That's right. You're here because we took Idran's treasure."
Goldus acknowledged with a nod.
"Because that stupid Wattis guy has revealed my face to the whole world because he's innocent."
"Oh, I saw it, too. Could you... ...laugh."
"......Will you die?"
"It's you who's dying."
“?!”
It's obvious that he pulled out a sword and aimed Goldus at his Adam's apple.
At the speed of the unseen search, Goldus broke into a cold sweat.
Suu-u-u-u-
Then, the members of the Axpace organization who showed up in the darkness around them.
"......Hey, honestly, you missed the timing, didn't you?"
“…….”
When asked by Jae-ho, Goldtus and the members of the organization were silent.
"No?"
"......no."
Someone in the dark snapped back.
"Ay, it's too late for anyone to see? If he really did, he'd be dead already.”
"Oh, I'm an Immodalian anyway, so I don't care if I die!"
"Hey!!!"
Goldus shouted in tears.
I'm sorry, but I'much.….
"No! That's not why we met!”
"Okay, Tina."
With Jae-ho's restraint, Tina put down the sword again and the members of the Axpace crew disappeared into the darkness.
a dead atmosphere again
"Go back and......that's right. It's a place I know all about. And you know why I'm here."
Jae-ho admitted to Goldus' words without a hitch.
"We each have what we need. We're treasure, you open the box. Don't you think a pretty good deal is possible?”
"Well... ...it's too brazen to say that after stealing things that originally belong to the owner.”
"Hoo-hoo, what are you talking about? In the first place, this treasure is the reward of a super-large quest with a global notification. It was in your hand, but there was no owner.”
"That's ridiculous."
"What, what can you do? We're the ones who already have the stuff. So I'm offering you a deal."
Goldus continued his horse, standing two fingers.
"8 to 2. Of course we're 8, right?”
"Huh? Even if I ask you to split it in half, you'll give me 20 percent when I say no? Are you out of your mind?"
"Oh, my. You'll be late if you're greedy and lose everything and regret it's too late. There's no agreement. It's eight to two unconditionally."
"Hah....!"
Srrrr-
As soon as Jae-ho was about to say something, the Axpace members reappeared.
“?”
Jae-ho questioned them.
I pretended to open my mouth. Why?
"Crrrr, khm."
With a cough they disappeared again.
"......is it because of my teasing earlier? So..."
"Loud! That's not what matters now!!!"
Somehow the red-faced Goldus shouted.
"Oh, yes. Well, what I was trying to say was not nonsense."
Jaeho got up from his seat.
"Well, I wouldn't have brought anything here, so let's get back."
"Is the negotiation broken down?"
"Yes, because it's impossible to trust you to give that two in the first place."
Jae-ho headed for the entrance with Tina.
"You don't have to worry about the back of your head! Axpace never sees blood in a tangent."
"Haha, thank you very much.”
Before leaving, Jae-ho last looked at Goldus.
"Take care of yourself. I'll go find it."
"Whoo-hoo, as much as you like."
Jae-ho and Tina, who left the bar, immediately left the streets of the old Red Tower.
"......you seem to believe it completely, don't you?”
Tina grinned and nodded at Jae-ho's question.
"You acted well, Alsia!"
"Ay, nothing compared to you. The knife-picking ad-lib was fantastic. Because it's made the atmosphere so bloody."
"Hehe, I meant it.”
"......good anyway!"
Jae-ho popped his fist at Samantha.
"What is it?"
"Oh, you don't know this? Fist bumps.”
"With your fists?"
Gwaa-a-
"Hey, relax."
The clear sound of Tina's fist in his ear frightened Jae-ho.
"It's a loose, light bump. A sign of loyalty."
"Ah!"
Talk-
Jae-ho struck Tina's fist lightly.
Tina was closer to Jaeho than any other Elf.
We were always together when Jae-ho went on an expedition.
It was Jae-ho's gesture to admit it.
"Come on, let's go!"
Jae-ho, who turned around and walked ahead of him, had never seen him.
Tina's eyes glistening anxiously intensely.
* * *
Jae-ho, who returned to the garden, looked at the garden with ease.
"You've made a lot of progress.
Beautiful scenery with colorful flowers spread out over the vast land, and above it, spirits murmuring.
It was completely different from the flower shop that Jae-ho imagined.
Originally, I dreamed of a local flower shop full of cute flower pots, just like the ones in reality.
But now it was completely different.
If I were to pick one that was similar to what I imagined, it would be like a small log cabin made of Monday and Tuesday trees.
But if I don't like it now, never!
Jae-ho was happier now.
In reality, I couldn't even dream of a flower shop because of my clumsy hands and allergies.
Life in New World was the best, and tears came from the fact that he created this ecstatic scene.….
"Hey, Alsia...….”
"Hmm?"
At May's call, Jae-ho was out of his minded.
"You know the passionate man we talked about before. I told you to watch."
"Oh, I did. Why? You see something fishy?"
"You've been muttering to yourself lately, unable to concentrate on your work. I thought Alsia should know.….”
"Really? I'll have to see him. Where are you?"
"I'm turning around the house and watering it."
After hearing May's story, Jae-ho went straight to find the passionate man.
'Hmm...... I don't have to leave any risk.’
After hearing from Taylor that he was a spy, he had been quiet until now, but it seemed that it was time to make a decision on the disposition of the passionate man.
But kicking him out would rather bring in another spy.
Well, then the way is...….
* * *
"Ha......."
a drooping sigh
The Black Bear Guild's Spy Man...a passionate man known to the guild as...
Somehow, he was credited with both within the guild and in the Elysia Garden, and he had recently been experiencing severe internal conflicts.
-Try fire again at the Elysia garden, dealing a blow.
The incident in which he was known to have set fire to the guild was actually a fire prevention.
"No. I wouldn't have been harmed if it wasn't for me in the first place."
At that time, I personally confirmed that setting the garden on fire could not deal a significant blow.
Flame magic experts, the Red Tower's wizards, had placed fire prevention magic all over the world.
However, the guild of the brown bear, which is not aware of the fact, has made demands again.
"Are you stupid? Why are you ordering me to do that without thinking about keeping a spy in here? I keep handing over the information!’
After hard work, Jeong Yeol-man, who succeeded in establishing himself as a worker inside the garden, was constantly conveying to the Guild about Jae-ho's recent status.
In particular, he played a big role in this "ideal" treasure hunt.
But suddenly, you started another fire.….
'You're not just annoyed by the missing treasure, are you?'
It wasn't true.
Suu-u-u-u-
At that time, a huge shadow cast before the passionate man who was lost in thought.
"Huck?! Ah, Alsia!!”
Instinctively aware of the opponent, the passionate man stood up and posed.
"Is he a passionate man?"
"That's right!"
"......Hey, can you relax?"
Jae-ho's position was rather suffocating when he was in the military.
It's like seeing Samantha in the early days.
"No! Say it!"
“…….”
Jae-ho quickly gave up.
I knew it wouldn't change easily if we kept talking about it anyway.
"I heard from Mei. I feel like I've been having some kind of trouble lately."
"Yes?"
What's wrong with you?
But then he became a stone.
"What did the brown bear guild say?”
Boom-!!!!
“?!!”
A passionate man who disappeared from Jae-ho's sight in a flash.
"Yo, forgive me!!”
It wasn't about running away, it was about kneeling down at light speed.
"Well, I would never do anything to harm the Elysia Garden! Rather, I love this place!"
"Uh, yeah. He, yeah."
More than expected, Jae-ho put in the words of persuasion he had prepared.
