Episode 46. Seo Hoon-sik (1)
“uh······.”
“Are you here, Hurt Locker?”
Walter Bank Basement.
The Hurt Locker, who entered another base of the intelligence service, stopped with his mouth open.
A chunk of meat covered in blood was tied in chains before his eyes.
Even though it was a corpse, it was visually believable, and it was making a wheezing sound from time to time.
“I’m going to die there.”
“Don’t worry. People don’t die so easily. Don’t you know that I’m an expert in this field.”
“······· By the way. What did you find out?”
Hurtlocker turned his head away from it.
I’ve seen numerous corpses on the battlefield, but it was the first time I’d seen such a horribly deformed body, so I thought I’d get nausea.
“I’ve found out a lot. The problem is that he’s still lying.”
“Yes? Even in that state?”
“Yeah. You’re talking nonsense that Schlus Heinkel burned the material and threw it away.”
Eric shook his head.
If Schlus Heinkel stole intelligence from him, there was no reason to destroy it.
If you hand it over to the Imperial Police, you will become a national hero and at the same time receive a huge reward.
It is a good bargaining card that can threaten the kingdom even if you have it without having to hand it over.
And yet you burned it on the spot?
There were no such obvious lies.
“No, but… For what reason would he lie until he got to that point?”
“You don’t know that. You haven’t dug out the eyeballs yet? Let’s dig them out and ask again.”
“It may not be a lie.”
“What do you mean? Schluss Heinkel really destroyed the data?”
“No. At least that’s what he believes. That’s it. Schlus Heinkel used magic to show him an illusion, and he must have known that he had burned the material after seeing it.”
“Ohhhh?”
When Eric clapped his hands together, Hurtlocker sighed in exasperation.
Didn’t you think of this simple idea while making people go to that level?
At this point, I wondered if I was deliberately pretending not to know because I wanted to continue the torture.
“Child. I’m sorry about this. If I had thought of that sooner, I wouldn’t have cut off my tongue.”
“Can a person live by cutting off his tongue…?”
“Uh. If you set fire to the cross section immediately after cutting it and burn it, the blood vessels will ripen and become clogged?
Hurtlocker heard in one ear and let it out in the other.
It was information I didn’t want to know.
“By the way. What about Schlus Heinkel?”
“Ha… well, that’s it…”
Eric and Hurt Locker sighed deeply at the same time.
Schlus Heinkel has information about the heights of intelligence agents.
Seeing that the imperial police have not yet come to this place, it seems that they have not been confounded by the imperial police.
That meant he wanted to do business with the spy agency.
With a weakness that could destroy the spy agency.
“Shouldn’t we get rid of it right now? I’ll kill him even if I’m willing to sacrifice my life.”
“No. Schlus Heinkel is not an idiot. He must have made the data public when he died.”
“then······.”
“There’s no way to deal with him. Now we’ll have to wait and see what he’ll ask for.”
“············”.
Hurtlocker clenched his fists.
Schlust truly holds the lifeline of the spy agency.
In fact, he was in a position where he had to obey Schlust.
What is the guy really asking for?

Just imagining it has given Eric and Hurt Locker chills down their spines.

“ha ha ha.”
Laughter kept leaking out.
Now the sun is shining warmly. The current time is 11 o’clock.
And Seo Hoon Ceremony starts at 1 o’clock.
From now on, even if you catch a carriage and run to the imperial palace, you will arrive at the limit.
But the problem is-
“Hey. George, this.”
The condition of the clothes now is not a word.
Perhaps it had rubbed against Hurt Locker’s sword earlier, and his side was torn.
How could you stand in front of the emperor wearing something like this?
No, I’d rather not attend without permission than that.
I can’t help it.
I have no choice but to go to this little one.
It was a moment when I was looking around the street thinking that I should catch any wagon.
“uh?”
A harsh sound of horseshoes was heard from behind.
The moment I turned around, a wagon stopped in front of my nose with the sound of a squeaking wheel.
It’s right in front of your nose.
At the end of the day, it almost got crushed by the wheel.
“Mr Heinkel!”
At that moment, the carriage door opened and Emilia appeared.
Did you pick me up?
But how do you know I’m here…?
“Emilia-san. How do you know-“
“How would you know?”
“············”.
At the voice of the person who appeared from behind Emilia, I kept my mouth shut.
A girl in a nun’s uniform with a seemingly benevolent smile.
It was Iris.
I have seen the future.
I’m thankful, but I don’t like having debts like this all the time.
I think I’ll ask for something bigger later…
“What are you doing? Don’t ride fast. Are you sure you won’t?”
“・・・・・・It rides.”
Feeling very uneasy, I got into the carriage.
The carriage with me soon began to glide down the street at full speed. towards the Imperial Palace.
By the way, carriages were not usually luxurious.
The interior was spacious enough to fit 6 people, and it was equipped with a soft sofa.
Even if the moving expenses were paid by the imperial family, there was no way Emilia, a thrifty woman, could arrange such a carriage.
Then, the owner of this carriage is reduced to one.
“Is it the Plechet family’s carriage?”
“Oh my. The family pattern must have been removed, how would you know…”
“Thank you. Thank you.”
“What? I couldn’t hear you.”
“············”.
Iris showed a playful smile. That’s what you’re doing while listening to everything, that.
I really want to know what to do after paying off debts to me…
He’s a guy who doesn’t know what he’s thinking.
“Really. It was just as the saint was concerned. It was good that I brought extra clothes!”
Emilia looked at my torn side and pulled out a jacket from her bag.
Apparently, Iris had given me a hint.
Read at noblemtl.com
Just in case you don’t know, take a pair of clothes… like this.
Because I probably couldn’t have told Emilia about future poetry.
“Thank you. I hope you both close your eyes.”
“Gee, will you change now?”
“Time is running out. You will have no choice but to change on the go.”
Iris gently closed her eyes, and Emilia hurriedly covered her face with her palms.
I didn’t know that I would make such a shameful game in front of these two…
The situation was not favorable, so there was no other option.
I changed my ripped shirt as quickly as possible.
But for some reason, Emilia’s eyes seem to be visible through her open fingers. Is it because of her mood?
“Now it’s done.”
“Whoa. Can I ask you now?”
“What do you mean?”
“Where the hell were you and what were you doing all night?”
“············”.
I was speechless at Emilia’s direct question.
I couldn’t bear to say that I beat up your brother, dislocated all the bones, and then threw it in the dung water.
but what about this
You’ll find out later if you get in touch with a spy agent.
“It’s a secret.”
“ah······.”
Even if you make a mistake, you’ll find out soon anyway, so I decided to just ignore it.
I’m a little afraid of the aftermath when Emilia finds out about today’s events.
Could it have been more than an hour?
Suddenly the wagon stopped.
When I rolled up the curtains and looked out, it was already in front of the Imperial Palace.
Unexpectedly, there were about 30 minutes left.
can i go early
The moment I opened the door thinking-
“Mr. Heinkel. I forgot something.”
“what is that.”
Emilia pulled my sleeve.
Leaving me bewildered, I looked through my bag and pulled out a box.
When I opened the box, there was…
It was full of makeup tools.
“Did you forget? You were supposed to get me for makeup.”
“Did I?”
“Yes. I did.”
····· Now I remembered.
why did i do it
I must have been crazy back then.
okay. Let’s say it doesn’t matter if you give in a hundred times and get makeup.
But Iris, who is splitting the threads from the side, is very annoying.
“What’s so funny?”
“It’s nothing, fufu.”
“············”.
He has a knack for saying that very bluntly.
I had to put up with wanting to squeeze a single honey chestnut.
If you move now, your makeup will be messed up.
Has it been about 10 minutes?
“It’s done, Mr. Heinkel!”
Emilia smiled as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.
I don’t know what I was brushing on my cheeks, what I was touching my eyebrows, and what I was putting on my lips.
But let’s look into the mirror Emilia gave us-
“Um, not bad.”
“Is that right?”
I couldn’t help but feel quite satisfied.
Nothing radically changed.
Even though I don’t know much about makeup, I could tell that this has the effect of making the features more distinct.
Looking at it this way, it seems that Schlust’s face is also quite handsome.
I thought it was just a normal face.
“It’s enough to save points like this for men’s makeup. How about doing it every day? I’ll do it for you.”
“I will decline that.”
Anyway, I do it every day, it’s a little bit like this…
Besides, I felt very uncomfortable because Emilia seemed to think of me as a makeup doll.
“Then let’s go now.”
“Wait······.”
As I was about to open the door, Emilia grabbed my sleeve and pulled me back again.
When I turned around, Emilia was breathing heavily and raising her hand to her chest.
Am I acting like I’m nervous?
At first, I thought that it wasn’t acting, but the idea that it wasn’t acting grew stronger.
Last time Arya came to visit. I didn’t notice it at the time, but now that I think about it, Emilia’s reaction was too much for an act.
Who would pretend to be nervous and give the wrong car to the Crown Prince?
Maybe Emilia is really having a hard time dealing with the people of the imperial family.
“it’s okay.”
“···········?”
“If you’re really nervous, just look at me. Don’t look anywhere else. Emilia-san has come to assist me.”
“yes······.”
Suddenly, Emilia’s trembling subsided, and the sound of her breathing gradually stabilized.
Slowly, the tension seemed to have subsided.
“Shall we get off now?”
“Yes. It is.”
“Thanks for lending me the carriage. Thanks again.”
“Yes? Yes, yes….”
As I got out of the carriage, it was strange that Iris was not responding.
If it was normal, you would have tried to embarrass me by being condescending.
I think I was a little surprised to see her eyes widened.
Why is that?
The answer to that question was quickly resolved when I saw Emilia glancing at me.
‘ah.’
I just realized what I’ve done.
I was just stroking Emilia’s hair.
Like a habit, unconsciously and unintentionally. naturally.
That too in front of Iris.
Wow. Damn I’m too shy
I want to die.
Damnnn
