Defeating the Mitsugoshi Chamber of Commerce assassins, I spent the night as a shady agent, living my life as usual by day.

Keep in touch with Yukime in secret, while helping distribute counterfeit bills and eliminating anyone who tries to find a source.

There has also been an increase in the circulation of counterfeit bills, and Yukime said it was time for suspicious people to show up at the Grand Chamber Federation.

But the current situation is only found out by the Mitsugoshi Chamber of Commerce, so my work is small.

Did the Mitsugoshi Chamber of Commerce also alert, no movement?

I am free.

I want to act cool like an agent.

It was me hiding and guarding a fake bill-carriage every day with that in mind, but the day finally came.

A slight sign of approaching the carriage running on the night lane without sound.

- Assassins.

That's pretty hands-on, too.

Little sign of it. I know only one person who can erase the signs so well. [M]

And a recognizable black shadow emerges from the darkness.

A woman dressed in a black bodysuit. supple muscles and soft body looks.

Definitely, she's a - a delta.

I see, because those three have been repelled, you put in the strongest fighting force.

But they're bad. Yarn man John Smith has a combat style that goes well with his brain muscles. Good luck tying Delta with concealed steel thread. No, she's only sharp for nothing, so maybe she'll avoid it all.

Rather, it could be at all.

That, on the other hand, isn't Delta the least compatible person?

Ma, no. I'll go in real mode if I have to.

With that in mind, I showed up in front of Delta.

"I'm John Smith. Ahead..."

"- Boss? What are you doing?

Delta said that as she snorted her nose. The tail is happily bumbled.

"Oh, I'm John Smith. Your boss."

"Boss! Hunt with Delta?

"... I don't hunt"

Akan, he's totally found out.

I took a bath and sprinkled with perfume, but I watched Delta's nose sweetly.

I took my mask and showed up. [M]

"The boss is John Smith?

"Oh, yeah."

"Ooh, you can't beat John Smith in Delta. We have to let Master Alpha know."

"Wait!

I grabbed Delta's tail and pulled it back. I'm sorry. I lost a little hair.

"Cane! Tail no!

"I'm sorry, Delta, I'm finally listening. I'm on a secret mission right now."

"Secret mission?

"Yes, a secret mission is a secret, secret mission that no one should know about."

"Cool! Delta too!

"No, I'm the only one who can do this. But when Delta reports to Alpha about John Smith, the secret secret mission fails. You know why?

"I don't know!

"Because it's no longer a secret. So don't tell anyone about this."

"But Delta has Alpha's assignment..."

Delta looked at me with her ears down.

"It's okay, I'll give Delta a new assignment. You remember the rules of Shadow Garden."

"I don't remember!

"The task I give you will take precedence over anything else. From Alpha's mission."

"Don't you get mad at Master Alpha?

"I won't be offended"

Don't get mad at me for sure, I thought.

In the first place, Delta is currently working on a Mitsugoshi Chamber of Commerce assignment, and it's totally out of line to bring in the shadow garden rules I used to decide there that don't matter.

I'm sorry, Delta, because I'll apologize with you when it's all over.

"This is for the world too..."

"For the world...?

"Yes, for the world"

"For the world!

"Yeah, I'm sorry, Delta. I'll reward you when the mission is over."

"Do anything!?

Delta bungled her tail as her eyes sparkled.

"I won't do anything. Do what I can, and do what I can, as little as I can and as little as I can and as little as I can afford."

"Listen boss!?

"Within what I just said."

"Yay! Assign!"

"I wonder what the mission will be. Yeah, straight from here, there's a lawless city, and there's a black tower. The Jaganote in that tower is a bad bandit, so keep hunting."

"A lawless city, a black tower, a juggernaut? Shall we hunt?

"Yes, yes."

"Okay! If you hunt, you listen to the boss!

"Within what I just said. You don't have to hurry, so take your time and go slow."

"Lawless city! Black Jaga! They're coming hunting!

That's what Delta went for in the dash.

I feel a little different, but no.

Let's just let Delta get away from the king's capital. Delta can't act, so I don't know if she's hiding anything, but she'll find out soon enough.

With all that information, it'll take you a while to find out, and it'll be just fine.

Fake bills are not yet in circulation, it's too early to find out who they are.

Well, do you want to continue guarding?

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

"We were chasing John Smith. Delta's message has been interrupted."

"- Huh!?

Having heard the gamma report, Alpha dropped her pen and looked at the gamma.

"At the scene, this is..."

That's what Gamma showed me was Delta's tail hairs. Alpha's anger crept up on that hair like she was forced to pull it off.

Gamma's eyes were calm. But an uncontrollable rage is burning behind it.

"Yes... Delta..."

Realizing that his voice was weaker than he could have imagined, Alpha calmed down a little.

That's what I was ready for.

Someday, someone will be sacrificed. That's what I visited today.

"I don't think Delta will relinquish Master Alpha's mandate. He's... he's stupid, but he only has power, and what Alpha says..."

"It's okay, I know."

Alpha comforts the gamma that squeezes out words with a trembling voice.

Delta is always entrusted with a dangerous task because of its high level of combat power. She was always the one doing the most dangerous work in Shadow Garden. If she ever doesn't go back, that almost means her death......

It has not yet been decided that this is the case. But hopes will be dim......

"Continue your search for Delta. At least just recover the body..."

"Yes."

And Alpha received Delta's hair. I take care of that. I get numb with a cloth.

John Smith's danger was heard from 664. I shouldn't have let Delta go alone.

If Delta ever loses, we just have to be set in a trap.

"John Smith...... ugh!

Low, a deep voice gushed out of Alpha's throat.

Gilli and her back teeth rang.
