4. Detective Intrusion (5)
──────────────
-Spirit Siwoo: Guys. Are you using elemental magic well?
-Spirit Siwoo: As I said before, you must always be careful when using spirit magic.
-Spirit Siwoo: Spirits that are not summoned are in a spirit state, so they cannot have thinking and perception abilities without the Spirit King.
-Spirit Siu: The spirits of our world have a lot of summoning experience and there is a spirit king, so they each have a certain sense of self, but the spirits of a world without spirit magic are likely to be babies who have lived since time immemorial but whose ego has not yet been formed.
-Jeongryeong Siwoo: So, treat it very carefully and take care of it. Don’t regret that I taught you elemental arts.
-Spirit Siwoo: Every time you summon it, you have to give it time to accept and adapt to the environment. If you ask for something as soon as they are summoned, the children will feel confused because they will not be able to perceive the world properly.
-Jeongryeong Siwoo: It’s not okay to send it back as soon as you ask for it. Leave plenty of space and express your gratitude generously.
-Jeongryeong Si-woo: As soon as I granted the request, I lost consciousness, and when I woke up, I was in a different place, and as soon as I granted the request, I lost consciousness… Imagine living a life like that. Isn’t it exhausting just to imagine it?
-Jeongryeong Siwoo: Think of yourself as really raising a child, communicate a lot and convey a lot of positive emotions.
-Jeongryeong Siwoo: Especially don’t fight before your ego is properly controlled. It’s very bad for the child’s emotions. Then the child may become very crooked.
-Jeongryeong Si-woo: I know that there is someone in me who is so urgent that I cannot keep these words, and I also know that there is someone in me who does not have this much peace of mind. Since I was the original ‘me’, I can fully empathize with how difficult it must be for you.
-Jeongryeong Siu: But make sure to keep this for your own sake. Got it?
-Jeongryeong Siwoo: Just like I did, I will believe in the childhood innocence that exists within you as well.

A corner of the park visited by many citizens.
Siwoo summoned a gnome and made a suitable clay statue. The quality of them was poor, but they fit into the park’s structures so that one could hide one’s body without feeling out of place.
Isabelle looked at her gnome like she was going to dissect it. Eyes trying to figure out the identity somehow. Seeing that, Siwoo became nervous and immediately sent the gnome away.
Isabelle tried to find the missing gnome, but eventually she gave up and looked at her statue. Her statue, imbued with her elemental power, was a well-constructed cover that even she, wearing her armor, could hide under without problems.
But the real problem was with Siwoo’s plan.
“Is it really okay to just hide here?”
“Sure. “If we stay here, we can catch the drug dealers.”
Siwoo assured, but Isabelle’s suspicious expression did not ease.
It is understandable if it is a back alley that is not as easy to find as before. Just by looking at it, it looks like something secret and dark is going to happen.
But here. It was difficult to imagine drug trafficking taking place in a park visited by numerous citizens.
Within the area pointed out by the information dealer, there were definitely back alleys and buildings with suspicious symbols on them, but why was it here? Isabel couldn’t understand Siwoo’s choice, but she didn’t know much about the goings-on in the world behind her, so she quietly crouched in her corner and hid.
Siwoo gets his own awardHe whispered quietly for the purpose of amplifying the noise.
“Most shady transactions do not disclose the location of the transaction from the beginning. This is because it is a world where there is no trust between each other and no market order. Because these procedures are inconvenient even among themselves, large organizations such as the Serun faction are trying to establish their own rules… “
Isabel did not want to listen to the story, thinking it was a suspicious story from a suspicious person, but as time went by, she began to listen to Siwoo.
The stories Siwoo tells are from a world she has never heard of. Strange, unfamiliar, yet exciting stories. Before she knew it, she was immersed in the story and was asking Si-woo questions.
“So you’re saying the first meeting will be held here?”
“Yes. Since these places are very safe, they can also be places where people in the shadows can meet and let go of their burdens. Of course, there have to be places like the one we’re hiding in that are less crowded, but this place is also much safer than the back alleys.”
Siwoo continued to tell her story for a long time after that. The reason why criminal organizations run farms, incidents of people being caught trafficking like idiots, all kinds of bizarre drug smuggling cases, the story of how a play called ‘The Godfather’ changed the ecology of criminal organizations…
Some of her stories were passed off as if she were just a joke, but some of them were stories worth remembering from her as well. It didn’t seem to be a story about the Kingdom of Luzan, but it’s impossible to know when something similar will happen to the Kingdom of Luzan.
Isabelle was absorbed in Siu’s story for a while, but then she came to her senses when she noticed that the sun had visibly moved. Even though quite a bit of time has passed, Siwoo’s story has not dried up. The incredible power of information astonished Isabel.
From Siwoo’s point of view, she was possessed by noir and espionage, and was only interpreting the story she posted in the chat room, modifying it to fit the medieval era, but from Isabel’s perspective, it was as if she had everything in the world in the palm of her hand. .
Maybe she has this ability so she doesn’t know about it?
The scene that had been buried earlier came back to Isabelle’s mind.
“Now that I think about it, what did you do with that blue bullet (magic missile)? “She didn’t seem to have Aurors.”
“It’s a trade secret.”
Isabelle sighed as she saw Siwoo smiling meaningfully.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have caught him and interrogated him, but it was difficult to even touch Siwoo. Because I don’t know what he’s hiding and how much he’s hiding.
I thought she might be stronger than herself, the Auror Master, but she might run away using this ability she knew nothing about. So in the end, she had no choice but to wait for him to tell her.
To do that, he needs to keep Siwoo by his side.
While Isabelle was wondering how she could continue to drag Siwoo around, Siwoo pointed to a bench in the park.
“Knight. Look over there. Excuse me.”
“… ? Aren’t you an ordinary citizen? “He’s dressed normally and his face is simple.”
“No. I’m sure it’s that guy. “The clothes you’re wearing are okay, but your front teeth are worn down a lot.”
Isabel heard Siu’s words and looked at the man on her bench with Aura in her eyes.
Certainly, as Siwoo said, her man’s front teeth were worn down. But what does that have to do with being a drug dealer?
As I looked at Si-woo with a questioning gaze, Si-woo calmly continued his explanation.
“The reason my front teeth are worn down is because I eat hard biscuits or eat them at a restaurant.It is said that they lived by eating bread that was used as a substitute for dishes and was discarded. To put it simply, it means being a sailor or being poor. And that person’s body is not that of a sailor, and this is a world that does not provide opportunities for poor people to rise in social status.”
But I dressed pretty well.
So much so that it blends in with the clothing of people who are leisurely enough to visit the park during the day.
The proposition that could be derived from it was clear.
“So, that person is a person who raised money through illegal means. Since the drug dealer himself would not have appeared from the first contact, he would have been a broker or a liaison to the drug dealer.”
While listening to Siwoo’s story, Isabel suddenly realized that the man on the bench was quite far away.

So much so that she herself needed the help of an Auror to be able to see.
But how did Shiwoo even see the man’s front teeth without an Auror?
Isabel’s heart cooled.
If it was an ability she didn’t know much about, like those blue bullets from before or something about her making cover out of dirt, she was fine. Because the energy that formed it was not an Auror, she could not properly understand its identity, and her destructive power itself was not an exceptional skill.
But this time I didn’t feel that energy at all. It was natural. The internal energy used to strengthen eyesight was completely consumed within Siwoo’s body.
It gave Isabelle an illusion of her own.
What if Siwoo’s level of handling Aurors is higher than her?
So what if she used her aura to enhance her eyesight and she didn’t notice?
‘… ‘That’s a ridiculous hypothesis.’
At that level, he could have destroyed the country single-handedly, so why would he plan such a troublesome trick? She tried to think logically and push the hypothesis aside.
But the more it happened, the more persistent the hypothesis became. What Si-woo has done so far became proof of that hypothesis.
The hypothesis grew like a tree. A person who is related to the empire, but is from the same empire and is not familiar with it. He is a person who possesses the power of information that controls the world, but also possesses this mysterious ability.
Perhaps Siwoo was an agent of the Imperial Intelligence Service.
At that time, Siwoo suddenly stood up. Isabel, who was lost in her thoughts, was startled.
“Huh?!”
“They are moving. “Let’s chase after him quickly.”
“Oh, uh, okay. “Sure.”
“I’ll go first. Please follow me slowly.”
Then Siwoo crossed over a building with one leap.
Inhuman jumping ability using light air.
When Isabel saw that, she forgot to chase after the man and opened her mouth blankly.
“That… Model citizen? What I’ve seen so far is…”
Isabel imagined Siwoo receiving a plaque as a model citizen.
It was a thought that really congested her brain.

Siwoo stood on the roof of a building in her back alley and sighed. He had been nervous all day and felt like he was already going to collapse. How would he feel if he were carrying a nuclear bomb?
However, she did not show her relaxed appearance outside because Isabelle might be watching. What sets off the tension is that the incident is completelyAfter it was over, it was enough.
Siwoo revitalized himself with the power of Danjeon and called Sylph to get some cool air. So it seemed like his dulling mind was being sharpened again.
Today, Siwoo recalled everything he had done.
The role of the suspicious guy seemed to work quite well. Rather, it works so well that it’s almost a problem. When I think about it now, I wonder if it was enough for him to show magic, elemental magic, and martial arts that were not in this world.
He wasn’t bad at being a detective, and with just a little more he could catch a drug dealer. If this is the case, I think he achieved great results considering that he entered the main story as an extra.
Of course, since we haven’t caught it yet, we shouldn’t completely let our guard down.
“… Is … Go…”
“… As …”
Down there, a drug dealer and a drug buyer were meeting and talking.
Siwoo was worried. Will he make a surprise attack now, or after the person who bought the drugs has passed away? Both were options with pros and cons.
Siwoo checked the energy accumulated in the Danjeon. He had been writing all day today, but not particularly well, so he still had quite a bit of free time.
So much so that you can come in between them.
Siwoo jumped from the rooftop and fell between the three people. The posture of putting one hand down on the ground was the posture of a good model citizen.
Cooung-
“W-Who are you!”
“He is a good and just model citizen!”
Siwoo broke in and immediately caught the drug dealer. The buyer and contact ran away, but Siwoo didn’t pay any attention to it. I’m sure Isabel will catch it.
The important thing is to get information out of this drug dealer.
“Where is the demon who gave you drugs?”
“hehehe… Do you think you can easily tell me how to start a business?”
“Okay. “I don’t think it will be easy to tell.”
Siwoo simply acknowledged it and moved his spiritual power. Then water droplets gathered in his hand and turned into an undine.
The summoned Undine followed Siu’s orders and created water droplets in the air as big as a human head.
The drug dealer saw this and his eyes widened.
“But do you know that there is a saying like this?”
Siwoo grabbed the drug dealer by the back of his head and hit his face with water droplets.
Siwoo’s expression as he smiled was as evil as the devil.
“Water knows the answer.”
On top of the struggling body of a drug dealer.
Boiling bubbles rose from the water droplets floating in the air.
