“It seems to have gone too far from what I was originally trying to say, shall we go back to the point?”
“Hmm, yes.”
The story of catching floating clouds that had been going on for a long time was ended with Serena’s words, who opened her eyes wide.
‘Who was the first to start, but rather, it’s full of articles.’
It was Serena who took a different path before we started talking, and Ruby was only willing to follow her path.
All she needed was time. It was because he needed to buy some time before the secret family leader came.
“By the way, are you really okay? Maybe, there is something you must do…”
“No, that’s fine. Nothing’s going on.”
But that decision turned into an unexpected thorn and began to pierce the ruby.
For Serena, who has an excellent talent for analyzing people’s psychology and purpose, Ruby who mixes things up saying that what she says is right seemed very suspicious.
And, no matter how calm you look, it’s like an impatience that can’t be hidden. Eyes that flutter from time to time
Of course, they were trivial clues that ordinary people would miss, but in Serena’s head, the clues were coming together into a single conclusion.
‘…are you reading me?”
However, Ruby wasn’t a happy person either.
‘The head of the Moonlight family and, according to the head of the secret party, the greatest genius in the empire. Such a girl herself interrogates me.’
Although I have suffered from repetition of unexpected events recently, I have also suffered a significant disadvantage today.
‘…that’s fun.’

‘Very fun.’
He was the Demon King who would color the world with fear.

If she came to the fore, it was self-evident that in an instant, all of that would be just a futile effort.
“Suck…”
“Mr. Ruby? Why are you doing that?”
“Oh, no. It’s late at night and I’m yawning.”
So, although he was a little embarrassed at first, Ruby was already enjoying the situation.
For her, who has never suffered a single wound due to the overwhelming force, she was always drowning in lethargy and helplessness.
It was because the experience of fainting with blood, the moment the plan failed, and the situation of being questioned by humans was so much fun.
‘Okay then… How do I get out of this situation?’
But, I didn’t mean to just have fun.
Ruby already had one stack accumulated, although I don’t know who the hell it was.
It was clear that if Serena in front of her had discovered her identity, the plan would soon start to be disrupted.
‘…Attack you?’
For that reason, Ruby, who was thinking of a way to get out of this situation with a smile, clenched her right hand and started thinking about it.
[I will warn you. He cannot attack…]
“under.”
When a red warning window appeared in front of his eyes, he sighed and used the skill.
[Goodness value: 0]
“Selena-san, I think you’re in luck.”
“…what do you mean by that?”
And after that, Ruby, who had been staring at the information window for a while, spoke to Serena in a low voice.
“You met me by chance when I got out of the slave market. You probably didn’t even know I came out of there.”
‘…If the goodness level was a little lower, they would have attacked right away.’
Inwardly, while looking at Serena, she was licking her lips.
“Yes, I am lucky. I protected a man who was shaking in the alley, but he was the one who escaped the slave market.”
To such Ruby, Serena spoke in a soft voice.
“Are you a slave by any chance?”
“No, it’s not…”
“Then, did you go to buy slaves?”
Ruby, who felt the dagger hidden in such a soft voice, sighed and answered.
“Do you really need to know that?”
“Yes, it is absolutely necessary. As a bonus, I would like to know what happened in the slave market.”
After receiving Serena’s suggestion, Ruby cleared her throat and pondered for a moment.
‘If it’s impossible for me to attack, I’ll have to make him attack me first.’
The ‘system’ that has given her a lot of headaches lately.
In order to ignore the system’s restrictions on Ruby, the only choice is to find a human with a low goodness level or to receive a preemptive attack.
“like.”
So, after a moment’s thought, Ruby made a decision.
“I’ll tell you everything.”
In order to break the restrictions of the ‘system’ that dared to restrict him, he said that he needed to be attacked by Serena somehow.
“Really? It’s surprising. You seem to have a lot of secrets, so I thought you’d hide it as much as possible.”
“Looking at it, I think if I hid it, I wouldn’t be able to find the bones.”
Ruby, who had made a promise like that, started talking while looking at Serena who was constantly thinking about herself.
“First of all, my status is that I am a humble slave who luckily got out of today’s slave escape.”
“…is that so?”
Ruby, who was talking about the fake identity that she came up with in an instant, and examining Serena’s reaction, immediately smiles and thinks to herself.
‘I know the information that there was a slave escape.’
Reading the emotions and inner feelings from the other person’s words and expressions was not just Serena’s specialty.
This is because the ability to grasp the movement of muscles with transcendental body nerves or to understand the psychology based on the actions and expressions of the other person was only a basic ability that Ruby could do if he wanted to.
‘But, I have doubts about my identity. Why?’
After completing the reasoning about Serena based on that ability, Ruby began to wait for Serena’s response with a relaxed expression on her face.
“Are you referring to the word ‘runaway slave’? You must be well aware that I am a nobleman.”
“My specialty is that I’m quick on my feet. I got out of that slave market, but do you think it’s hard to get out of this place where there’s only one of you?”
As Ruby said that with a calm expression, Serena asked with a suspicious expression.
“But, revealing your identity doesn’t mean there’s nothing good about it. You could have lied enough.”
“…I revealed my identity with the intention of selling you information, but I’m sorry if you say that.”
Ruby, who responded naturally to Serena’s onslaught like water, began to cough and whisper.
“One gold coin per question. How about it?”
“…you’re not the only person who can get information, isn’t it a business that’s too much of a loss?”
“This is an opportunity to get a perfect answer from someone who knows everything about this case. Is it really a loss-making business?”
“Hmm…”
Serena raised her eyebrows slightly at those words, and Ruby added momentum to her words.
“And, seeing that you brought me to this place rather than the slave market… there must be a pressing time or a reason why you can’t go to the slave market. Isn’t it?”
“…Huh.”
Serena heard that and smiled.
“You’re pretty smart? I like it.”
“It’s become a habit to roll your head to survive.”
Ruby smiled and said to Serena, and a gold coin flew in front of her.
“First, have all the slaves escaped?”
“Yes, everyone escaped without exception.”
After saying that, Ruby shuts her mouth, and Serena opens her mouth with a sigh.
“I don’t think the answer is one gold coin.”
“…Then what should I do?”
“If I have to tell you information that only you know, or information that is hard to find, won’t you think that I will keep giving you gold coins?”
When Serena said that, Ruby replied with a bright smile.
“Okay then… Everyone escaped without exception! Wow, even taking hostages!”
“…a hostage?”
Serena reacts sensitively to the word hostage.
“Yeah! The naughty naughty nobleman who bought our slaves… Oh, right. Gold coins.”
Ruby, who was talking to Serena, looked at her and closed her mouth, and Serena’s expression cracked.
‘Serena, your b*tch likes Frey like crazy, right?’
Seeing Serena like that, Ruby began to burst into laughter.
‘The provisional head of the household is quite useful in this case. It allowed me to grasp the weakness of a girl who was quite bright in my opinion.’
“…here, gold coins.”
As Ruby was thinking about it, Serena hurriedly handed her a gold coin.
“Hey, I’m sorry… this is a bit of valuable information, isn’t it?
“yes?”
“Anyway, as the officials know, the identity of the person we kidnapped is high, so there is a high probability that the information will be covered up. So with one gold coin…”
“I’ll give you three.”
Seeing Serena who hastily pulled out two more gold coins from her arms, Ruby thought with a sly smile.
‘After all, it’s true that there is no information about Frey.’
When I explained the hostage earlier, when I mixed the characteristics of Frey as a ‘false evil’, Serena began to noticeably shake.
In other words, she has not yet obtained information about Frey.
“Thank you! After all, I’m glad I followed you!”
“…Tell me exactly what you know about the hostage.”
As Ruby, who received the money from Serena, speaks with her eyes twinkling, Serena urges her with a cold voice.
“Come on.”
Covering his mouth with a fan, he had a cold expression on his face.
“The hostage had white hair, white eyes, and looked quite sickly.”
“…..!”
“On such a subject, I treated slaves badly, assaulted them… and bought most of the slaves they were trying to escape, and I got a kick out of it.”
Ruby, who recites words reminiscent of Frey with a serious expression in front of such Serena, thrust a wedge into Serena, who was still holding a fan.
“Oh, he was also holding a strange looking wand…”
“…that person was taken hostage?”
Then, Serena quickly interrupted Ruby’s words.
“I’m talking like someone I know… There must have been an escort protecting him. And, a weapon of self-defense…”
‘Yeah, no matter how weakened by the penalty… If a person the size of Frey was attacked by slaves, I’d still be suspicious.’
When Serena questioned her with a voice that was trembling enough to not be heard if she didn’t pay attention, and with a voice filled with strong suspicion, Ruby started answering as if she knew it.
“Of course, there were people protecting him, but a fox monster appeared and asked him!”
“…Woah, a fox monster?”
“Yeah, that bastard was trying to do something… The fox monster used a strange ability, so he couldn’t even use his hands!”
Hearing those words, Serena’s expression darkened.
“Anyway, the fox monster also joined us, and now we have the handsome nobleman. How about it? Was this information satisfactory?”
“………”
Ruby tilted her head as if to provoke Serena, and she fell into a deep silence.
“…Is there any leader of the slaves?”
Serena, who had been silent for such a long time, broke the silence by asking such a question.
“Uh, there is… Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”
“I want to contact you personally. If there is any way to contact you…”
– Tiriri! Tirriri!
As soon as Serena quickly responded to Ruby’s words, suddenly a beeping sound began to sound somewhere.
“Ah, wait a minute. I’ll get a call and come back. Wait a minute.”
And at that moment, Ruby got up from her seat and started to run to the bathroom while rummaging through her arms.
“Even a genius girl falls in love…”
Whisper quietly enough that only you can hear it.
“…are you going to be an idiot?”
with a smirk on his face.

– Good profit…!
“We’ve arrived, then have a good day… Ouch!”
Leaving the secret hut and grabbing a speedboat, Frey threw gold coins at the driver as soon as the carriage reached its destination and jumped out.
“No matter how much you think about it… I’m worried…”
When I first saw the letter, I just thought it was cute, but as I got closer to my destination, the content of the letter kept falling on my heart.
“…it was the first time Serena had scribbled a letter so hastily. Why the hell?”
Frey hurriedly headed to the cafe he had been to before, pondering the questions he had asked countless times in the carriage.
“What, what?”
He stopped right away and started to open his eyes.
“…Irina?”
“……..”
It was because Irina was holding dozens of torn magic scrolls right in front of the cafe.
“Fray.”
“Irina, why are you here… huh?”
Frey tilted her head, wondering why Irina, who should have gone back to her dorm after seeing her off earlier, was here.
“…what!?”
Soon after, he opened his mouth and began to look ahead.
– Hurr…
The cafe that was the meeting place with Serena was on fire.
Demon King got fooled by Serena lmao. Serena is one scary girl…
