117 – Pumpkin rolled in by the vine
what?
The hounds were embarrassed.
“We’re number 348. How are you? Didn’t someone bully you while we were away?
Sinia’s attitude toward Ceylon was somehow strange.
Should I be overly friendly, as if trying to please?
okay.
Let’s assume that since it’s Cynia, I can do that.
But Solar.
The hounds were finally taken aback by her attitude.
-The office must have been very hard. Seeing that your neck is very stiff. Are you tired of looking at this?
-This…! Where the hell did you get this information?!
-That’s not what’s important right now.
-Keugh… tell me what you need…
It was the appearance of Sola familiar to the hounds.
As an information guild master, Sola, who has been active in both the sunny and the dark world for a long time, naturally had a rough sense of intimidation.
One of the hounds described it as fierce, and another described it as fierce.
It was difficult for the hounds to imagine Sola courting others.
Since the hounds have been active with Solar for a long time, I have never seen Solar try to please others.
“Actually, if it’s rude, I’ve already done it. Ceylon. I’m sorry I doubted you. We didn’t appreciate you and acted rudely. I apologize on behalf of you.”
Sola was acting as if she was courting Ceylon.
It wasn’t particularly openly servile or low-key, but being friendly in itself came as a shock to the hounds.
‘Why is Mr. Solar like that-…!’
It was the time when the hounds were looking at her and Ceylon in turn with complex expressions at the unfamiliar appearance of Solar, whom they admired.
“By the way, number 348. We have something to share with each other for a moment, but-“
Solar carefully took her luck.
“Oh, is that so? Then I’ll sit down for a while-“
“No, there’s no such thing as uncomfortable. We’ll move, so you’re waiting here comfortably.”
“Uh… wouldn’t it be better for me to go through it alone than for all of you to go through the discomfort?”
Solar tapped Ceylon on the shoulder.
“Thank you for caring about me, but you are our guest. Here, I would like you to concede at least to save face. If it was the same as before, I would have had to offer you something to drink. It is not common to receive guests here. . ruler.”
The hounds were stunned by the appearance they had never shown even in front of a member of the Arien City Council, left the room following Sola, and entered another room.
It was the single-person room that Solar and Sinia had just talked about.
It was soundproofed, so it was possible to talk freely, but it was cramped for all the hound members, who basically had weapons in their arms.
The room is full even though you haven’t sat down yet.
At this rate, it was a platform where we had to stand and talk.
It was the opposite of Ceylon, who was wasting space by remaining alone in the hideout.
“Mr. Solar! Ms. Cynia! What the hell is going on!?”
The appearance of a group that became shabby in an instant.
The hounds eventually couldn’t stand it and expressed their doubts.
Now, Sola was obviously courting Ceylon.
Considering Solar’s usual appearance, it was at a level of subservience.
“under…”
Solar sat down on the table and crossed her long legs.
He then brought the cigarette to his mouth and lit it.
Sup.
under.
Solar stared at the dispersing cigarette smoke with a tired face.
Short hair and thin lines of features.
The sight of a beautiful woman smoking a cigarette, which creates a strange atmosphere with her neutral beauty and an eyepatch covering one eye, had the effect of making others stare at her in awe.
After clearing up the atmosphere again, Solar opened her mouth.
“I think we’re screwed.”
“Yes!? Suddenly!?”
“Is there a problem!?”
“Is it something to do with that guy?”
The hounds, who had already felt something unusual, all at once asked a question.
The hounds mentioned Ceylon, as if she had noticed something from her attitude toward Ceylon.
“Yes. Because of him. No. No. Not because of him, but because of this guy.”
Sola put her hands together and glanced at the distorted Sinia.
“From now on, I believe there will be no idiots speaking outside of what I am telling you.”
Sola judged that Ceylon’s work was at stake for the survival of the group called Hounds, and decided to share the story she heard from Sinia with them.
It was a dangerous job, but Solar and Sinia knew that the members of the Hounds wouldn’t reveal it.
It has been almost a year since they cooperated with the common goal of revenge against Harasin.
They trusted each other enough to be willing to risk their lives.
“The real Harasin…?”
“That guy is the true member of Harasin…”
“Sinia-san was able to bring that guy because he pretended to be an acquaintance of the monster called his right-hand man…”
The hounds, who had managed to organize the story, all turned their attention to Sinia.
Mr. Sina!!!
What the hell have you done!?!
It was a face called
“…”
Sinia scratched her cheek with a wry smile, saying she had no face.
“Don’t misunderstand and listen. I’m not talking about defending Sinia. In fact, Sinia’s actions aren’t entirely wrong.”
why?
Sola inhaled the cigarette once again, receiving the suspicious gaze directed at her.
“We are incompetent.”
“…”
“…”
From noble mtl dot com
The hounds were distracted by the sudden fact-range attack.
“It’s been almost a year since we worked on this job. What did we do during that year? Hey Cherry. Tell me about your biggest achievement.”
“…Seson’s Rendall.”
Rendall of Seson, the back alley solver.
We found out that he was Harasin’s direct disciple and identified his whereabouts.
That was the biggest income earned by the hunting dog over the past year.
“Yes. Rendall of Seson. That bastard, what happened in the end?”
“I missed it… I got it all…”
“Then what did we do for a year?”
“Yeah- but you succeeded in securing Harasin’s document this time, right? Solar-san said that the document obtained this time is real, so it’s worth putting your hopes on-“
“Yes. It was worth looking forward to. But, as you just saw, my interpretation was a misinterpretation. Not a single one of us would notice that the interpretation was wrong. If we had gone through with it, how would it have been?” Could it be?”
I would have wasted money and time walking in place again.
Perhaps he fell into Harasin’s trap and was in danger.
“Standing in place. That’s what we’ve been doing for a year. It’s also what we’re going to continue to do. But we’ve just gotten out of our way for the first time and taken a step in the right direction. Closer to Harassin.”
Sola pointed toward the wall—the hideout where Ceylon was.
“Thanks to that guy. Thanks to that guy for willingly providing tremendous information on how to decipher Harashin’s documents. And, the reason he was willing to provide such tremendous information must be thanks to Sinia’s madness. One word ro is this.”
Solar raised her middle finger and said.
“It means that one crazy act of Sinia was worth more than the stupid things we did while receiving Cynia’s support for a year.”
The hounds couldn’t argue with Sola’s words.
At least when it came to tracking Harashin, that one blind kid was more useful than all of them put together.
The hounds bowed their heads in humiliation.
“At least when it comes to tracking down Harassin, that one kid is more capable than all of us put together. So, it’s a clear opportunity for us to have contact with him. no matter what the circumstances were.”
“however…”
One of the hounds cautiously raised a hand and spoke.
“If he, the true Harasin, knew what we had done…”
Solar nodded.
“No matter how honorable a group is, they won’t pat those on the butt for doing good to those who deceived them. That’s why.”
Solar said with a determined face.
“We risk life and death this time and achieve one goal without fail.”
“what is that?”
Cherier asked cautiously, and Solar pointed to Ceylon, who was in the hideout by the wall.
“Should I handle it?”
Doo-eon, a hunting dog with an aquiline nose, said with a solemn face.
“what!?”
“What is the treatment?”
“f*ck, I asked where Harasin was and he was here?”
“You bawler bastard.”
Criticism poured in all at once.
The Hound was an organization that gathered for revenge for those who lost loved ones to Harasin.
As such, it was an absolute principle not to hurt innocent people no matter what.
“Dou-eon, have you been listening to the story through the back hole until now?”
Solar sighed and let out smoke.
“That kiddo is a guy who just made a bigger achievement in that short moment than we did in a year. What we need to do to him is not to harm him, but the opposite.”
“What do you mean-…?”
Solar nodded.
“Make Ceylon the chief of our hounds. That way, we can become a true Harassin affiliate through Ceylon. And even if they noticed that Sinia lied, they wouldn’t report it to the upper management. If you consider the hound as your own, you won’t do anything to harm it.”
“oh… ”
A true member of Harasin.
At those words, the hounds’ eyes lit up.
A leader at the level of transcendence.
The name of the true Harasin.
All of a sudden, the true God Hara has become a powerful group comparable to the god Hara, who is a ghost.
How big will it be?
It was not even measured.
I could only speculate carefully that it was on a scale comparable to that of Paraden and the ghostly Harasin.
Dozens of strong men in high levels and hundreds of excellent agents would be distributed across the continent.
Belong to that mighty group? As a hound, it was nothing more to wish for.
As long as you become a true member of God Hara, taking revenge on God Hara will not be a vague dream, but a clear goal.
the problem is-
“By the way, no matter how much, such a kid… ”
Cherier murmured in displeasure.
The hounds agreed.
They were the so-called single stranders.
Before joining the Hound, he achieved great achievements in his field of activity.
Even Doo-eon, who looked dumbfounded at the moment, was in charge of one of the escorts of the large corps before becoming a hunting dog.
In addition, as an instructor at Ain Academy, Sinia earned the respect of the warriors.
As the information guild master, Solar was a bigwig who exerted influence throughout the Onmyoji.
But Ceylon?
He was, at most, a freshman at the academy, and was the true end of Harasin.
I don’t know what will happen in the future, but right now I was just a kid.
It was an unbearable humiliation for a hound to have to support such a kid as the boss instead of Sina and Sola.
“That’s what it says.”
It was the same with Solar.
Although she did not intervene personal feelings in her work, it was not acceptable to have such a youngster as her superior.
“To make him our leader is a formality to the last.”
Ceylon will think of himself as the chief of the hounds, but nothing will change in practice.
in other words-
Solar’s story was about thoroughly roasting and boiling the character of Ceylon.
Make them mistakenly think that they are the head of the hounds.
So, I condone Cynia’s lies.
So that I can recommend the Hound to the true Harasin.
“Do you have any better ideas?”
Shinia’s complicated feelings were revealed in that expression.
Solar asked as if interrogating her.
Cynia couldn’t answer anything.
He couldn’t come up with a better alternative than to roast and boil his disciples right away.
‘Yes, maybe-‘
Rather, this might be better.
Because he belongs to the same group as Ceylon and can lead him right next to him.
Let’s at least let Ceylon live a better life than living as a true Harassin.
Ceylon is used for that purpose.
Sinia, persuaded by the excuse she came up with herself, nodded with a sense of shame.
Then the other hounds smiled meaningfully at the room where Ceylon was located.
It wasn’t even a chore to roast and boil a youngster like Ceylon for those who were worn out like hounds.
***
“What is this?”
I burst into laughter as I watched the whole situation with the mark I left for Sinia.
A large number of combatants skilled in 5-star operations.
6-star information guild master.
7 star academy instructor.
That many talented people wanted to be part of the true god Hara, who was ‘composed of dozens of strong men and hundreds of agents and exerted influence throughout the continent’.
‘This is how the saying that a pumpkin rolls in through its vines looks like this.’
