28 – Chapter 28
“Ummm…”
Looking out the window, I see the sun is finally starting to show its presence.
“Are you awake?”
Iliana’s voice came from outside the door.
“Ahh… I told you to just sleep in your room…”
“I can’t do that.”
For the past few days, Illyana has been waiting for me to wake up in front of my door.
No matter how much I tried to dissuade them, they wouldn’t listen, so I woke up early to keep them from waiting.
However, even if I woke up early, the time I went to bed did not change, so I inevitably lacked sleep.
“…Kid. From today, the SS will be disbanded.”
“Yes.”
I can’t stand it if it goes on like this.
But she couldn’t keep Illyana standing in front of the door.
This will only be resolved when she makes Illyana quit her escort job.
“Then what should I do?”
“Um…Yes, standby. Let’s put it on standby.”
Of course there is no such thing.
I just made it up.
“What does the standby team do?”
“You can literally just wait and do what I tell you to do.”
Hearing my words, Illyana nodded her head without speaking.
“Okay then, the first mission. Let’s go for a walk with me.”
“Yes.”
Really, I think I’m a genius.
While always being able to keep it by my side, I also got rid of the mission of escorting it.
As I was walking like that, I saw Ethan walking from the other side of the hallway.
“…What is it? That expression. I feel bad.”
“There’s nothing he can’t say.”
“Ehh… Where are you going again?”
“Just go outside and take a walk.”
“Do some work. Please.”
“Originally, bosses don’t have to do things like work.”
Which organization’s boss is working?
Everybody just sits at a desk and gives orders.
I still don’t give orders, so I wonder if I’ll be better.
I left behind Ethan, who continued to say something, and walked toward the outside.
.
.
.
“Wow… Delicious! How are you, kid? Is it delicious?”
“Yes. Delicious.”
He is responding to my words with an expressionless expression, but judging from the fact that he is constantly pushing food into his mouth, it seems that his words are not false.
Looking around, I noticed that the surroundings had become dark before I knew it.
“Whew… Today was fun. Right?”
“Yes.”
I bought food from a street vendor and ate it, then went up on a hill and took a nap in the sunlight.
Then I scolded the guys selling drugs in the back alley, and then I got hungry and went to a tavern to drink.
She wanted to give Illyana a drink, but she stubbornly refused to drink.
‘Well, I’m a saint, but drinking alcohol is funnier.’
As she passed her back alley, humming her song like that, I felt her gaze.
She is one person when you look at her presence.
But she’s not as good as me, but she seems to be quite talented.
She deliberately turned around on the same road, but she continued to follow.
Illyana must have sensed something strange about her, so she glanced behind her.
“…Kid. Stay behind me.”
She whispered that to Illyana and stopped her steps.
Then she suddenly disappeared.
“Huh… I don’t know who it is, but why would they follow someone… I can’t find any manners.”
“Lux.”
Let’s memorize her spell to create light, and the dark alleyway is instantly filled with light.
“Come out. Count to three.”
“3.”
“This.”
“Work…”
“Sleep, hold on!”
A voice heard right before counting.
It is the voice of a young boy.
“…With me.”
“I’m leaving. Wait a minute.”
And after a while, a boy appeared at the corner of the alley.
Black hair, black eyes.
It’s a rare color, but I was still a kid.
However, the atmosphere felt was not that of ordinary backstreet children.
In the first place, the clothes he was wearing were of high quality, unlike those of the back alley kids.
“Come on, kid. Should I explain why you followed us?”
“I have a request!”
The unexpected words that came out of the boy’s mouth.
A request. Do you know who i am?
“Little boy. Do you know who I am?”
“Yes.”
“Are you still saying that?”
If you really wanted to do a request, you could go to Ruina.
It’s only slightly hidden, but it’s not illegal.
So that must be a lie.
“…You must be a little scolded…”
“Werewolf.”
“…What?”
“I know something about werewolves.”
The atmosphere is rapidly cooling.
“…Wasn’t this just a kid? If that is a lie, you will be in big trouble.”
“It is absolutely not a lie.”
“…So what kind of request do you want to give me in exchange for that information?”
“Please investigate… About the Great Chaos.”
“Great chaos?”
“Yes. That has to do with ‘that incident’.”
Why do so many fun things happen these days?
I don’t pick up saints before, but this time I’ll meet a kid who knows about ‘that case’.
“If that’s true, it doesn’t cost anything. It’s just that I’m in a position where I can only receive one-sidedly.”
“Okay, let me ask you again. What do you want in return?”
A bit of a mixed question until I live.
It meant to say what you want without going round and round.
But the answer I got back was really interesting.
“…I want to get acquainted with you.”
“…”
From noble mtl dot com
A moment of silence.
The little boy is looking at me nervously.
…Ah… I have to put up with it.
I can’t stand it.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
The laughter I had been holding back bursts out.
How could I not laugh?
The fact that he dared to tell me about ‘that incident’ means that he knows how much weight ‘that incident’ had for me.
In that case, you can get money if it’s money, status if it’s status, anything, but friendship is all you want.
“Friendship! Ha ha ha! Okay. Okay. hahahaha! Good. So kid. Name is?”
“…Floyd.”
“Okay. The deal is done I’ll do an investigation starting tomorrow. Ahh… I laughed so hard that all my tears came out.”
“…Yes.”
The deal was made, but the kid with a somewhat unsatisfactory face, no Floyd.
“What do you want to know more about? Friendship… Keuheup… I can tell you something suitable by looking at Friendship.”
“Well then…”
But she keeps looking sideways at Illyana while she’s talking.
“Ah, can’t a kid listen? Little. Can you cover your ears for a moment? Okay. Thank you.”
When she asks Illyana to cover her ears, she covers her ears and even closes her eyes.
I don’t know why he closed his eyes, but it must have been because he was cute.
After confirming that, Floyd spoke up with a serious face.
“…Do you know who he is?”
“Um… You know. Do you know?”
“…Yes. In case you don’t know, can you tell me who he is…”
“Are you a saint?”
“You are right to know… But still…”
“Well, that doesn’t change anything. Right?”
“…That’s right.”
I tapped Illyana’s hand, and Illyana removed her hand from her ear and opened her eyes.
“Well then, come visit Ruina next time. Oh, do you think you have to keep your identity a secret or something?”
“No. It’s not like that, but I want it to be as unknown as possible.”
“Then, I will only tell my immediate subordinates. Come anytime.”
“Yes.”
After saying that, Floyd turned and disappeared behind her.
“Geuh… Kid. Why is life so interesting these days?”
“…Is that so?”
“Yes. Let’s go back We have to prepare for tomorrow.”
“Am I going too?”
“Isn’t it? It will be much safer next to me than here.”
“Okay.”
******
“Crazy. Crazy. Crazy.”
Why is the original protagonist here?
It must have been some time since he entered the academy that he would come into contact with Ruina.
It’s not clear when this is in the story, but looking at Floyd’s outfit, at least you can tell he hasn’t entered the academy yet.
In addition, the fact that he followed Adela meant that he knew about Adela.
Furthermore, Floyd knew Illyana’s identity.
And the chaos? Werewolf? ‘That Incident’? I even knew things I didn’t know.
For this to be possible…
“Possession… Or regression.”
There are only two of them.
Both possession and regression are too dangerous.
If it’s possession, it must have been possessed at the point of reading more than me, and if it’s regression, you’ll know everything.
Illyana commits numerous sins as a saint of evil spirits in the story.
She even kills Floyd’s co-workers.
Then, someone possessed by Floyd, or the regressed Floyd, could harm Illyana just because she cuts off her threat.
“Status window!”
A blue spear rises with my cry.

If this continues, there is a high possibility that he will not be able to use his side, let alone beat Floyd.

You must thoroughly prepare even one of them.
At least, at least until the next Lv…
