To Be a Power in the Shadows!

The fact that John Smith's identity was the beloved Lord became a secret only in the Seven Shades.

It was decided that if this fact spread, Shadow Garden morale would be lost.

And, perhaps, the decision was correct, Gamma thought as she saw Alpha laying her eyes down worried.

The fire in the fireplace was burning patchy.

"I'm sure there must be some reason..."

"I think so too"

"He didn't abandon us..."

"Absolutely."

"Right...?

The conversation had been repeated many times already.

But no matter how many times I repeat, my anxiety doesn't clear up, and Alpha gets a more and more sad look.

The thought is the same as gamma.

But the way the always resolute Alpha rocked so far, on the contrary, was to calm the gamma.

Alpha doesn't have normal judgment left anymore.

It's gamma that can currently lead Shadow Gardens, and that's why gamma couldn't shake.

Gamma was under uninterrupted heavy pressure and worked almost insomniably.

Makeup tells the story of a neighborhood beneath the eyes that can't be hidden from you, and of a chiseled cheek, near the limits of gamma as well.

Gamma listened to Alpha for a while and calmed her down before cutting out the story.

"The collapse of the creditworthiness of the Great Chamber of Commerce has begun. It looks like a large number of folks have pushed to redeem banknotes at the Grand Chamber Federation since this morning. Perhaps tomorrow more people will push…"

"Yes..."

"It's not as good as the Federation of Grand Chambers of Commerce, but the Mitsugoshi Chamber of Commerce is also being visited by the people who want to redeem it. Probably will continue to grow beyond tomorrow, pushing at once as the Great Chamber of Commerce collapses."

"Yes..."

Alpha was listening to reports of gamma with a vain expression. And a word.

"Do you think I can stand it?

I asked.

Gamma saw the look on Alpha's face, stuck in words for a moment, and then uncovered it.

"As the Mitsugoshi Chamber of Commerce, as the Bank of Mitsugoshi, we have done everything in our power to collect gold coins. But... suppose they were asked to exchange all the banknotes of the Mitsugoshi Bank in circulation in Wangdu... not enough"

That was reality.

Collecting an uninterrupted amount of gold coins does not reach the increased amount in credit creation. But not everyone asks for money.

Whether you can stand it or not is quinquennial...

"Yes..."

Alpha smiled.

When I saw that crying smile, my gamma eyes also wept.

"I'm sure it's okay. If you show me gold like a mountain, I'm sure..."

"That's enough."

There is no guarantee anywhere that the people who saw the collapse of the Great Chamber of Commerce Union will stop with it.

I know all about gamma and Alpha.

"That's enough..."

"Dear Alpha..."

Alpha stared at the gamma with a crying smile.

"That's what he wanted. He wanted us to be cut off..."

"Oh no... that's not true! Master Shadow abandoned us.

"We didn't have the strength to live up to his expectations... that's the result"

"I don't... I don't... uhh"

I couldn't say I didn't...

The Lord's fighting power, creativity, and wisdom, what one thing very much. They couldn't outdo him. The best environment and the best knowledge were bestowed upon him, yet he could not reach the realm of the Lord.

The Lord has limited their abilities.

"Son... na..."

Power fell out of Gamma's knee.

She collapses on the sofa fluttering.

"If he wants it, I'll do what he wants. Because what I promised. If he tells me to die, I will die..."

"Dear Alpha..."

Alpha's face was sad. But there was an unprecedented determination there.

"Let's do the final job"

And she gets up.

It was then.

"Dear Alpha!

Without even knocking, Beta jumped into the room. She has a piece of paperwork in her hand.

"I was letting the lab ETA decipher Master Shadow's cipher - I've cracked it!

ETA is the seventh Seven Shades specializing in research. Speaking of which, Beta said she received the cipher from the Lord and left the decryption to ETA.

"This is it!

Alpha receives the documents provided by Beta.

As we continue to read that text, the delightful colour appears on Alpha's face.

"Dear Alpha...?

To the sound of a suspicious gamma, Alpha responded with a sneezy grin. There are no more sad faces there.

A glimmer of tears flowing down her cheek is tears of joy.

"We weren't abandoned..."

Gamma receives and reads the documents that were given to him.

"Ko, this is- Whoa!

There were amazing facts written in ETA's handwriting.

'Sorry, I'll betray you.

I decided to work with Yukime from the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce to collect gold coins.

Remember that?

I'm building a fake billing factory in the basement where I rescued my sister with you, and I'm collecting gold coins there.

I can't get enough gold to fill the vault just now.

But, you know, this isn't just betrayal. It's also to save you.

You know why?

If you noticed, there were tears in the cheeks of the gamma too.

Alpha, gamma, and beta.

We were all snoozing and laughing and crying.

"Everything, Master Shadow has prepared."

Beta said in a respectful voice.

"You're not supposed to write that the people you're going to betray are going to betray you on purpose."

With a slightly frightened voice from Alpha.

"You're not stupid like that, are you? After all, Master Shadow is kind."

With a slightly tired voice of gamma.

"Beta's right, he's got everything ready for us. There's no way Shadow Garden's relationship with the Mitsugoshi Chamber of Commerce could have leaked. Instead of us, he moved behind us"

"Yes, Master Shadow has prepared a large quantity of gold coins that we need by redeeming counterfeit bills."

"After that, we just have to collect the gold. It's a very familiar place for us, and it even says where the safe is."

"Even though we were the only ones who could endure this ordeal, he made enormous gains to Shadow Garden through it with ease. With this gold coin, the credibility of the Mitsugoshi Chamber of Commerce will not collapse. On the contrary, it leaps further."

A deep sigh leaked out of no-one.

"Damn, that's exactly what it says here, a betrayal to save us..."

"To deceive your enemies, start with your allies… you will learn"

"From the beginning, you've been reading through everything. That's Master Shadow...... but if so, what about Delta?

It looked like an anxious gamma, but Alpha's eyes don't shake anymore.

"I'm sure you don't have to worry about him."

At that time, there was noise outside.

And the window slowly opens. There, there was a Delta figure somewhere where the rashes seemed bad.

- There you go.

"Delta!? Good......"

The face of gamma is filled with joy.

"Ugh... Dear Alpha... Delta is on a secret mission... the..."

Delta was freaking out as she watched Alpha react.

"I know. He must have left you with something, didn't he?

Delta brightens her face and snorts.

"Delta has a black jaga......! Ah, it's a secret secret mission, so I can't tell you..."

"Delta, use the word correctly. The secret secret mission is overlapping."

"So, but the boss...!

"That's not what he's supposed to say. But I'm glad you're safe..."

Alpha said something. He strokes and hugs Delta's head like that.

Gamma, and Beta hugged Delta, and they wiped their tears and smiled.

"Now, let's collect the gold coins he has prepared"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Uh-oh."

The shadow garden moved that night.
