102. New quest (1)
“Come on, ride.”
Coco said in front of the car parked at the entrance to the restaurant.
A stylish car with a straight bonnet, it looked expensive
A female driver in a uniform and a hat was waiting there.
There were no gaps in his short hair, but looking into his eyes, he didn’t seem like a simple driver.
The driver looked at Oliver with sharp eyes and politely opened the car door.
“Thank you, Penny.”
A woman called Penny bowed her head slightly.
Coco sat down in the back seat and spoke to Oliver again.
“What are you doing. Come on board.”
I went to my seat as Oliver told me to.
The interior of the car was designed with the seats facing each other, and he thanked the driver, Penny, before entering, but Penny only nodded her head coldly.
“Have I done anything wrong?”
“No, it’s just that Penny doesn’t like men, so don’t worry about it. There are quite a few of our members who don’t like men.”
Oliver nodded.
Before leaving the restaurant, Coco introduced herself as a member of a women’s group called ‘Sisterhood’.
Sisterhood is a women’s survival organization, where life is rough, and it is also an organization where women who have no place to lean on from the bottom come together to rely on each other.

Now, the scale has grown, and it is said that all walks of life, including businesswomen, shopkeepers, hotel maids, bar clerks, fixers, s*x workers, and widows, have joined.“It’s great to think about it again. Sisterhood.”
“Boo
“It’s bigger than I thought. It used to be a horse-only group, but now it has started to have some influence at Landa.”
Oliver nodded.
According to Coco, members collect money to lobby city councilors and civil servants.
He said that he was constantly demanding things like crackdown on stores, less discrimination against s*x workers, and the right to vote for women.
“Well, I’m more interested in business than women’s voting rights.”

Now the gist. Oliver asked.“Who is the client?”
“I am a wealthy person in Area R. It’s a giant. It’s not at the core, but it’s on the outskirts of the big world.”
“·················ogue.”
“He’s pretty dynamic. I was from a bottom-up worker, but suddenly he showed up with a large sum of money and jumped into the Landa dump and touched the money a few times. But in the end, I invested in ‘Prometheus’, a magic stone company, and made a once-in-a-lifetime jackpot.”
“What is Prometheus?”
“under····. It looks like you really lived in the basement. Read something like a newspaper. These days, even a solver can’t be ignorant.”
“Good advice. I will follow you.”
Oliver responded that way to Coco’s sarcasm. There was no malice, but Coco didn’t like it. He made a terrifying face.
“…Prometheus is a company that deals with magic stones, which are the core of the magic industry. With some foresight, I bought a land of worthless garbage in the new continent, and after a few years, a large amount of mana stones were found there, and within a short period of time, it became a leading enterprise in the United Kingdom. Of course, the class of investors has also changed.”
Oliver nodded curiously.
I was indifferent to such things as I was only concerned with black magic and the work of a solver, but it seemed that I really had to read the newspaper and study the world.
“After that, the client settled in Area R, bought a large amount of real estate there, and lived like a medieval lord. I am one of the sponsors of the city council member in District R, so even the police can’t be reckless.”
“He’s a great guy.”
Then Coco said.
“But as great as he is, he has a eccentric personality. Look out.”
“Yes·····. But can you really get a book?”
Oliver asked cautiously.
Even though I didn’t know who the client was or what the details of the request were, the reason I followed it was because of a book about the devil that I had as a reward.
“Yes, the client said. He’s a good liar, but you can trust it as much as the situation is the situation.”
“What is the situation?”
“Yes, it would be faster to see for yourself. Don’t worry, we’ll be here soon.”
What Coco said was true.
The scene outside the car began to change, and the building became more lively and bright, unlike the normal street.
I’ve seen a similar street before… ah! The atmosphere was similar to the street where Murphy’s Secret Tavern was located.
“Doesn’t this look like a residential area?”
“Of course it doesn’t look like that. This is Street 66 in District O. It’s called the street of joy. In many ways.”
In fact, as if to prove it, there were several smiling men on the street.
In a car with the lid open, the fedora man kissed hotly with young ladies dressed as pretty as Coco.
A woman in a colorful dress on the side of the road walked profusely and seduced men on the street.
On the second-floor terrace, young girls leaned over and shouted at young men who looked wealthy to play, and even joked with them on the spot.
“It seems to be a place for people to play.”
“What····. Is that so?”
“Is the client here? I thought I would see you at home.”
“Well, this place is like home. I’ve been here longer than I am at home.”
Then, the car came to a smooth stop.
Penny’s driving skills were pretty good, and she even got off and opened Coco’s car door.
“thank you. penny.”
Penny bowed her head.
“thank you. Mr. Penny.”
Penny bowed her head briefly.
“Come on, here it is.”
Coco spoke in front of a building.
It was an old-fashioned rectangular building, built with elongated sides, and the roof was painted dark red.
There was a large sign in the form of an arch at the front door, and a light bulb was attached to the rim.
“…the house of angels?”
“Yes, it’s an angel’s house. They send guests to heaven.”
Saying so, Coco walked towards the front door, and Oliver followed.
As the large red door gently opened, the splendid interior caught my eye.
A thick carpet was spread seamlessly on the floor, and on one side was a bar filled with colorful magic wine, and on the other side there was a seating area where you could quietly relax.
Other than that, employees in tight clothes were waiting for them, sitting in the window, smiling and kissing a passing man, but I had no idea how the hell they were playing.
After all, Oliver was bullied at an orphanage as a child, so he didn’t know anything about play.
“Mama, Coco is here.”
A clerk who was carrying a drink saw Coco and Oliver and ran to somewhere.
She had fake wings on her back.
“Coco is here?”
A woman came down from the second floor.
A woman who had reached old age, Marie was young, and she was graceful as she looked after Forrest.
The clothes were neatly dressed according to the dignity, and the hair was neatly arranged in a burnt hair style, and although the years were stained on the face, it still kept the beauty of youth.
She lightly walked over to Coco.
“You have come too late.”
“Absolutely. It’s me, Mama.”
mama. I thought it was a name, but it was a bit strange to call it a name.
“Is that person over there…?”
An old woman named Mama pointed to Oliver.
“Yes, my name is Dave, the dark horse from Area T. Dave, you are the owner of this store.”
“hello. Dave Mr. My name is Mama Elizabeth, the owner of this house of angels.”
Oliver bowed his head politely.
“My name is Dave, the solver. Nice to meet you.”
Elizabeth smiled softly.
“As Coco said, you are polite.”
“I just do what I was taught as a child… But is Mama your name?”
Coco’s expression wrinkled slightly subtly.
But Elizabeth, who was the party, was only explaining with a soft smile.
“Mama is a kind of managerial title. It’s kind of a job that calls someone to help multiple members.”
“ah····. okay.”
“You’re as stupid as I heard.”
“is that so?”
“…do you know about the request?”
“I just heard what the reward was. I haven’t heard anything about the request.”
“It’s good. It is what the client wants.”
“I don’t understand, where is the client?”
“You are in the VIP room. I will guide you.”
With those words, Oliver followed from Coco to Elizabeth like a baton touch.
The VIP room was at the top of the 4th floor, and a muscular woman and a man with a sharp impression stood at the entrance.
‘This is a special treat.’
It was actually soundproofed so I couldn’t hear any outside noise at all. After passing through the many rooms, Elizabeth stopped in front of the most expensive room.
There was a small wired communication device in front of the door, into which Elizabeth spoke.
“Mr Rock. I brought… Yes, I understand.”
Elizabeth said, putting the communication device in place.
“please wait for a moment.”
Oliver waited as he was told, but before long the door opened and eight women emerged.
They held quite a few bills in their hands, mixed with unpleasant emotions and the joy of earning a lot of money.
I was like, what the hell did you do?
“Come in.”
A dying voice could be heard in the room.
Oliver looked inside and saw an old man like a pale pig, looking very tired.
“Is your ear canal blocked? Come in.”
***
Oliver entered the room with Elizabeth as instructed.
Inside the room, a machine that looked like a lamp was constantly emitting sweet-smelling smoke, and the machine as well as the smoke had a subtle magical power.
あ.あ.
Oliver smelled the smoke and sensed that it was a potion.
I’ve never drank a potion, but I smelled a potion in the mage workshop, and it was similar.
‘Why are you drinking with smoke? It was said that the potion’s efficacy is treatment and recovery, but there are also side effects from drinking it… What causes secondhand smoke with smoke? It is necessary, but is it burdensome? Where are you sick?’
Oliver quickly shook his head and thought.
The reason I came to such a thought was because the man in front of me looked sick, and the vitality radiating from the inside as well as the appearance was irregular and blurry.
‘I’m almost dying.’
“I was staring at something unlucky. Do you like men?”
Said the pale, fat old man angrily. He was only wearing panties and running,
I struggled to put my pants on, but after I was tired- I sighed and put my pants on again.
After two or three attempts, he tucked his legs into his trousers, and whether it was difficult beyond that, he sat with his panties unzipped.
He looked really tired.
“ha····. Is your clogged ear canal?”
“Yes?”
“Did you ask? what are you staring at? If you ask my question, you have to answer it.”
The old man asked with a stern expression.
Annoyance turned into anger, not just that, but also a malicious intent to discourage Oliver.
Either way, Oliver just responded as usual.
“ah····. sorry. I saw you change your pants.”
“·················ogue.”
“·················ogue.”
The old man and Elizabeth looked at Oliver with puzzled eyes.
It was as if there was something crazy about this.
“Such a brat, I see all sorts of crazy people in my life…. Ellie, is this guy the right guy?”
Elizabeth said with a puzzled smile.
“Sure. Coco brought it.”
“Or that poor little boy is over. Women are as fragrant and delicious as fruit, but the shelf life is damn short. under! Isn’t it?”
The old man thinks his joke is funny! under! under! laughed
Elizabeth laughed too, but Oliver was the only one who didn’t.
“Why aren’t you laughing? It’s a very funny joke, isn’t it?”
The old man suddenly frowned and asked. It was quite daunting, but unfortunately it did not impress Oliver much.
“sorry. I can’t smile well.”
“You mean you can’t laugh?”
“Yeah, I’ve been practicing, but I’m not good at smiling.”
“If you smile, I’ll give you a billion. How are you?”
sudden offer. 10 billion. It was enough money for Oliver to take a break from working as a solver for a while and focus on research.
“Well······. Wait·····. Well·····. sorry. I can’t either.”
Oliver answered after a sincere effort. It was very difficult to laugh.
“under······. You’re crazy. just fine Ellie, get out. We will talk alone.”
