It was an unpopular basement that Zach headed for.
He walks down the seriously mildew-smelling aisle and stops in front of a large door. And when he took the key out of his nose and opened it, he went inside to make sure there was no retrospective tail behind him.
As soon as the door closed, I heard a chirping lock closing.
I showed up to make sure there were no people around me.
Turning the knob is still locked.
I take out the slime and pour it into the keyhole to unlock it. I have learned the basics of unlocking well in my previous life, so I have no problem. It's only natural that a shady man can do it.
By the way, Slime keeps it hidden in her body so she can be physically examined whenever she wants.
I checked the signs on the other side of the door, and I felt like I should, so I opened the door and went inside.
It was a dim, wide warehouse.
I can see the lamp lights in the back. There were multiple men gathered there.
I disappear and approach, hiding in the shade of a nearby crate. By the way, the inside of the crate was empty.
The men seem to be talking around the lamp. I can also see Zach.
"Boss, we're all here."
"Right..."
A man called the boss leaves a step forward. I normally imagined him as the best balls of a chimp, but his appearance was unexpectedly young.
Age would be in the early twenties at best.
He's a clean, handsome guy with grey hair stretched out to his shoulders. It doesn't look like a chimp, rather it seems smart the other way around.
As far as physical fitness and standing, I'm pretty sure you're addicted to martial arts.
Neither appearance nor its atmosphere was ever visible to the prisoner.
There's a gap. This is good, right?
"Good luck, comrades. Comrade Doem was delighted with all the information you've gathered."
He says that in a voice that often passes, looking around at the men.
And each and every one of you speaks up and asks for the reward you want.
I see. Is it a lie that the guard is the contact point for information?
"Zach, what do you want?
"I want - to increase the quality and quantity of my meals. At least for two."
Zach, you're such a good man!
"Zach, you get fat if you eat too much!
Yaji flew from the surroundings, and Zach grinned bitterly.
"Boss, I'm having another strip party!
"Me too!
"Again...... That's about it."
The handsome man listens to what the men want one after another.
And when he had heard the whole thing, he sharpened his eyes.
"I request your help, comrades. There have been many recent incidents of comrades being raided in the Wang capital. An executive carriage was also raided yesterday, leaving seven dead."
For a moment, I thought it was about me, but I wasn't out of the camp yesterday. Looks like there's another killer.
"It's a sneaking hand at the target without sound. We read him" Owl. "
Owl... Hmm.
"Its an 'owl' but apparently there are traces of breaking into this camp"
Zach opened his eyes only for a moment.
"What's up, Zach?
"Yes, no, nothing..."
Zach lay his eyes down to escape the sharp handsome gaze.
"The purpose of 'Owl' is to make contact with Clara Oriana. Before he makes contact with Clara, make sure he finds it. You got it?
The men nodded at the handsome inquiry.
"That's the end of the story... no, I forgot one thing. Solemnity of the traitor."
The handsome man pulls out the knife and looks to Zach.
- It's you.
And a knife was thrown pretty fast.
No one but me would be here to react.
The knife thrown plundered Zach's cheek and pierced the man's face behind it.
"This guy is a fool who passed on comrade information to the Kings."
The men around him watched as the traitor bled down.
"You can go home. That's it."
To the handsome words, the men leave early enough.
"- Zach."
But Zach alone was called to a halt.
"Something - anything you're hiding?
He looks down at Zach with cold eyes.
"Yes, no"
Cold sweat runs down Zach's cheek.
"- Right. I believe you."
The handsome man pounded Zach's shoulder, slapping him out of the warehouse.
In a dim warehouse, Zach, alone, exhales heavily and wipes cold sweat.
I pounded his shoulder. [M]
"Ohhhhhh!? What the fuck!! It's you!! Don't threaten me!!
Zach, you literally jumped up and you were surprised, and you looked at me and you were gutted.
"I'm sorry. But you kept your mouth shut."
"Who says. If I say so, they're going to kill me."
"I see."
"I didn't know 'Owl' was you..."
I'm sorry, but I'm not the owl.
"... not?"
Zach looked at me suspiciously.
"I didn't move yesterday. [M] Probably other companies in the industry."
"No problem. If 'Owl' info comes in, why don't you flush it out to me, too? If you'd seen it, you'd know it, but they suspect it. Mostly because of you."
"We'll have the information soon. However, it's not always possible to flush. This industry is narrow... I know more or less hands-on people..."
This is how you insure when you don't know who the 'owl' is.
"Damn. Come on, really. As you can see, the boss is a scary man. You can use magic. You can handle it, but I can't handle it."
"Oh, by the way, his demon seal collar is fake,"
"Oh yeah!?
"Yeah."
"Seriously... then you can't win?
"- You think so?
I only open my magic for a moment and shake the atmosphere. [M]
"Yes, no. You might..."
"Ma, okay...... hmm? This..."
One old piece of paper fell before me because of the tremor in the atmosphere.
I picked it up - good idea.
"- I see."
I groan profoundly.
"Is something wrong?
"It's news from an agent. Now we know who the 'owl' is."
"Shh, wow! Isn't that too soon!?
"You can watch this."
I give Zach a piece of paper that says nothing. [M]
"Hey, it doesn't say anything!
"Advanced cryptography that reacts only to certain magic wavelengths. I can only read it."
"Seriously... I don't see it at all..."
Zach turns the paper upside down or waters it down into light with his face close.
"Let me tell you just a little bit about what it says"
"... okay?
I groan in a low voice. [M]
"code0"
"Come on, Kodo, what's up?
"Zero is the beginning number, that is -"
"One, that is?
Zach breathes.
"- It all begins"
At the same time, I completely erased the signs and disappeared on a super-fast trip.
"- Nah!? Gone!? You're lying, the door stays closed..."
I lurked my breath in the crate, Zach, and waited for you to leave.
