292 – [5] One Wish
#292
“Oh, absolutely not!”
“Oh.”
Unfortunately it was rejected.
However, it was a situation where I did not give her the ‘right’ to refuse her teeth.
This means that the result is already fixed regardless of Shannon’s will.
I immediately shook her head slightly.
Shannon, there is no other way.
Of course, she spoke in gibberish and expressed her opposition more actively.
“Why on earth did you use my competition prize…? ….”
“Because there is no other way.”
“Well, still! In the first place, that was the competition prize I won…… ! “I don’t agree with this plan.”
Fear of losing her own things.
But is it okay for people to only think about themselves like that?
We should all eat well and live well together.
Moreover, strictly speaking, Shannon was currently in a relative ‘B’ position.
I’ve been living comfortably for about a month, so I don’t know.
It was as if a necklace was hanging around Shannon’s neck right now.
“No. “I’m sorry, but you have to follow my opinion this time.”
“Ah, anyway…… !”
I jumped up and down.
It was so stubborn that its tail got twisted.
“And Shannon, do you know what?”
“What is it?”
“Mr. Shannon owes me a debt.”
“Debt? “I have never received a loan from Mr. Xian—”
“Not a loan. “What I’m talking about now is the housing-related part.”
Living together after the flood.
It was a remark that pointed out that.
Currently, Shannon came into the house where I and Cheonmae live for free.
However, because it was convenient for me, I did not pay any down payment or anything like that.
The only thing she had to pay for was the cost of water, electricity and other food ingredients she used.
She even signed a separate contract saying that she would not be expelled on her own.
It was impossible to get rid of her for a while, so even if she behaved shamelessly, there was no way around it.
At least in material terms, that was the case.
In terms of her conscience, she was at a considerable disadvantage.
Shannon probably doesn’t know that we are providing convenience.
If it was done this forcefully, it would have been impossible to refuse.
Perhaps recognizing this reality, Shannon fell into silence.
“If you say this, you’re no different from a really bad person…… There is no other way for us.”
“… ….”
“Can you please understand just this once, Shannon? “Right now, the dreams and future of five people, including me, are at stake.”
“Huh…” ….”
He swept her face down.
Her gloomy appearance was evident.
Immediately she placed her hand on Shannon’s shoulder.
She moved back slightly and tried to shake it off.
If she really steps down here, Shannon’s heart will be hurt for a while and will not be able to recover.
I handed over a piece of candy in return.
“Instead, I will grant you one wish later.”
“…… “Wish?”
“Yes, it doesn’t matter anything. “If you have any wish, I will grant it.”
“Uh, anything?”
“Anything.”
One wish.
Shannon’s expression gradually brightened at that one factor.
Eventually, her mouth opened slightly and she pursed her lips.
It was a bonus that her saliva was gurgling and falling heavily.
…… I don’t know why, but it didn’t seem like a good idea.
Surely she wouldn’t ask for something extravagant when she said she would grant anything?
“Of course, this excludes telling people to die outright or give up all their assets.”
“Heh, heh…… “Then, could you please increase the number of wishes to three?”
Brightly shining eyes.
This is something that even the magic lamp genie would hate.
“Of course not.”
“I heard you will listen to anything…” ….”
“Oh, if you grant that wish, I will become Mr. Shannon’s slave for the rest of my life.”
“Hey… ….”
“Still, I’ll listen to anything except those strange things. “It doesn’t matter if I buy a luxury bag or anything else.”
“I don’t really like that kind of thing… ….”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s something completely different.”
Anyway, Shannon’s expression brightened.
It definitely seemed like a candy I liked.
“This should be enough as compensation for us to borrow Mr. Shannon’s competition prize, right?”
“Yes, I think it’s enough.”
Now that you have permission, all you have to do is use her courier service.
She didn’t seem to care much about the plan since everyone had agreed to it anyway.
But someone touched my shoulder from behind.
There was Syaoran, who tilted his head slightly.
“Wait a minute. I understand how to use her package as bait to track it. “What do you plan to do next?”
“What…… Because they must have headed to their home base. “We’ll have to raid there and retrieve our stuff.”
“Going in is…… Are you saying you’re fighting?”
“If you attack me, it would be right to fight right away. But wouldn’t there be almost a 100% chance of fighting due to the nature of criminal organizations?”
Cheonma-ri answered for me.
I nodded, saying that was correct.
“Mr. Syaoran, are you having trouble making plans for tomorrow?”
“No. That’s not it…… “If you are going to fight, I think it would be better to prepare a little more thoroughly.”
Are you saying we should do more information gathering?
Then it wasn’t a bad opinion.
Rather, it was a common sense and standard opinion.
The only problem was that the current situation itself was difficult to use common sense and principles.
“That is correct.”
“Then it would be better to investigate a little more─”
“But will they leave the contest prizes alone while we investigate?”
Actually, even if that wasn’t the case, it was a problem.
Her opinion is to just track it and wait for the future, but in this case, the exchanged package could become a problem.
“What would thieves do if they found out that the package had been stolen?”
“Ah.”
“You see what these guys are doing right now, right? “If they find out that the package has been stolen, they will 100% come to your house.”
“Well, they are the ones who beat us as a group…….”
That radicality.
That planning.
It was not something to ignore.
You could have been stabbed while sleeping.
“You can’t deal with these bastards until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, right? “Then you won’t be able to sleep with your feet forward.”
“Could it possibly lead to something like that?”
“These guys have already committed a crime, so why not? The first time with anything is difficult. “Now that we’ve gotten rid of our first experience, attacking us at night won’t be difficult.”
“That’s right, that’s right. “Something like murder is difficult the first time, but the emotional burden is less from the second time.”
The parable of a thousand birds may sound like shit, but it is still true.
Even if it was an attack at night, they would have an overwhelming advantage, so there was no reason to refuse.
“So, unless there is a better alternative, we will unconditionally begin collecting it tomorrow.”
“… ….”
“I have to win the competition prize. This is a legitimate product that we should have. “It’s not like stolen goods that thieves can sell and make money.”
The only option is to start work tomorrow.
If I had said it this much, everyone would have understood.
“If there is anyone who does not want to participate in collecting competition prizes, please raise your hand now.”
It went straight to voting, and no one raised their hand.
They were people who truly valued their belongings.

Basic preparations were completed, and the next day arrived.
As soon as the lecture ended, we gathered at my house as quickly as possible.
In the middle of the living room with the curtains drawn.
A variety of personal equipment was piled up there.
“Everyone brought all the equipment, right?”
“””Yes!”””
“Did you take the shield generator, primary weapon, and secondary weapon?”
“””Of course!”””
“Then, please keep your main weapon and change your secondary weapon to this.”
“””Yes?”””
I rearranged my acquaintances’ equipment.
The difference was that each of the different secondary weapons were unified into one.
“This…… “Isn’t it an electric baton?”
“Yes, it is an electric baton for suppression.”
The reason for replacing the secondary weapon with an electric baton was simple.
Hunter’s main weapons were basically weapons that could be used for murder purposes.
It is said that although it is suitable for fighting and winning, it is not suitable for the purpose of subduing.
Because the situation could have turned into an unwanted murder, an electric baton was provided.
“An electric baton made by Nartica?”
“This is an electric baton made by the company my grandfather runs. “The branch had some spare, so I brought it with me.”
“Everyone, please bring the elixir here too! “Put this on the area that was injured yesterday!”
After preparing personal equipment, it was time to prepare for delivery.
To be precise, it was a process of checking for fake packages to be replaced.
“Mari, is this a fake package okay?”
“It’s a fake package made by people in our company’s security department. “There won’t be any major problems.”
“What if the tracker breaks down or falls off?”
“They said there were plenty of trackers and sensors installed, so don’t worry.”
“If that’s the case, I’m glad.”
When checking to see if tracking is going well.
The front door opened and a familiar woman came into the house.
“Oh my. “She thought she was going to die because it was uphill.”
“Oh, Ines came too.”
A woman who decided that additional people were needed and lured her in with an appropriate reward.
Once we got home to Inés Corseiro, everyone finally gathered together.
“Oh, Mr. Ines. What on earth is that on your waist…? ….”
“Ah, as you can see, it’s guns and bullets. “They told me to come heavily armed, so I scraped everything I had at home.”
But the child was a little confused.
When I said to come heavily armed, I meant to come armed with a hunter weapon, not to bring out her muggle wand.
“Huh? Ines? “Why did you suddenly bring a gun?”
“Why did you bring it here? “Didn’t you tell me to come heavily armed yesterday?”
“No…… That’s true, though. Why the shotgun…… “Just one spear is enough.”
There may have been fierce fighting, but it did not reach the point where guns were used.
Even if a situation came where she had to use it, she should not use it carelessly because it could lead to problems.
“Uh huh, I’m going to instill etiquette in criminals. “As a patriotic citizen of the United States, can I just pick up a spear?”
“… ….”
“There is no better weapon than a shotgun to instill manners in gangsters.”
I’m sorry.
If we instill etiquette with such a weapon, wouldn’t the bodies of criminals not be able to withstand it and go away?
“If you instill etiquette with a gun, people will die…” ….”
“Are you worried about gun murders? Huh…… “Sian, that’s what vigilantes or militias are.”
“?”
“When we pursue justice, pursue states’ rights, and improve public order, there are bound to be some sacrifices.”
“???”
As Ines kept talking about tearing and killing someone, those worries grew even more.
Maybe we should have just started tracking with the six of us.
From Noble mtl dot com
“And if murder becomes a problem, it can be resolved through repentance. “Jesus will look upon you favorably if you say you killed a criminal.”
“Crazy Dixie… ….”
“What a crazy Dixie. Please correct me and make me a proud southerner.”
Speech like a Southern Christian.
Is it better to just send him back now?
But the more people there were, the better the situation was.
Furthermore, as the delivery completion time of the parcel was approaching, no major changes were made to the plan.
