Episode 153 Bad relationship (1)
“Cough! Cough!”
Scarlett came back to life, but there was nothing that could be done right away.
Because I couldn’t come to my senses.
Judging by the fact that he lost focus and was suffering, it seemed like it would take some time for him to recover.
“Then why did you come back?”
“I came back because I had to check something.”
“Confirmation?”
“This guy threw a knife at you. “At the time, I just ignored the situation, but no matter how much I thought about it, it was strange.”
Now that I think about it, something like that happened.
My memory is vague because so many things happened, but I clearly remember Lucia catching the flying knife.
“But sure enough? He was trying to stab you. That’s why we entered right away.”
The curtains on the window fluttered in the wind.
Lucia seemed to have come in through that window.
‘I didn’t even feel like I was in, let alone a feeling.’
When I peeked outside through the window, I could see Leger lying down using Luna’s knee as a pillow.
Luna’s gaze was directed in this direction, but she did not show any special action.
This means that he had no idea that Lucia had returned to the bar.
‘It’s a ghostly move.’
As my level increases, will I be able to move like that? I got a little curious.
“But why is this guy targeting you? “Do you know anything?”
“… … “It’s like I think I know, and sometimes I don’t know.”
“what. That ambiguous answer. Well, that’s enough. “You just have to ask directly.”
Scarlett suddenly came to her senses and began to notice.
Lucia grabbed Scarlett by the collar and lifted her up with one hand.
“Why did you throw the knife at Zero?”
“Well, so… … Si, it’s a mistake.”
“This is amazing. “How dare you lie to me?”
Lucia’s hand, which had been holding her collar, moved like lightning to Scarlett’s neck.
As gravity naturally caused her to become strangled, Scarlett’s face became red and bloodshot.
Scarlett struggled and resisted, but Lucia did not move.
“Do you think I looked like an idiot who couldn’t distinguish between mistakes and intentions?”
“Big, big…” … !”
“Why did you aim for Zero? “If you don’t want to die, you’d better speak quickly, right?”
“Oops!!”
Blood vessels burst and Scarlett’s eyes turned red.
This is not a good situation.
Although she is a low-level person, Scarlett is also a true rat.
I’m not going to give in to these threats and reveal that I’m a gutter rat.
I have little to lose if Scarlett dies like this, but I can’t let him die.
Although it is also someone who will be of great help to me.
‘It’s my fault that Scarlett got caught up in the first place.’
If the game had proceeded as usual, Scarlett would have been having a leisurely life.
However, the flap of my wings created a huge typhoon called Lucia, and I was sucked into it and died.
Can not help it. I have no choice but to intervene.
“Lucia.”
“why. “Can’t you see I’m busy right now?”
“It’s a gutter rat.”
“what?”
“I’m Teacher Charon’s rat. That’s the end too. “Wouldn’t it be difficult in many ways if I killed him?”
“… … Tsk!”
Lucia thought for a moment and almost threw Scarlett down.
Scarlett is shedding tears and breathing heavily.
Lucia’s eyes, which were looking at him, turned to me.
“How do you know that? “The rat list must be confidential.”
“It’s not certain yet, but it’s probably right. “Mr. Charon sent me here.”
“what? What does that mean? “What does he have to do with sending you here and the gutter rat?”
“I made a deal with Mr. Charon. “I think that person somehow got involved.”
“… … “You made a deal with that bastard?”
That guy, that bastard.
It is a term full of negative emotions.
‘What happened with Charon?’
This is information that wasn’t in the game. Because there are almost no episodes where Lucia and Charon are intertwined.
Curiosity as a stagnant matter raised its head.
But now Scarlett is the top priority.
It will be enough to find out later what happened between the two.
“Yes, that’s all I know.”
“But why were you doing that? “If that bastard sent you here, there’s no reason for him to attack you, right?”
It’s just as Lucia said. If you decide to make a deal, it’s like an alliance.
There is no reason for Scarlett to attack me, and I can’t think of any excuse.
But it’s okay. I just need to demonstrate my specialty.
He said as he approached Scarlett.
“Hehe, we decided to be friends.”
“Cluck, cough! What kind of bullshit is that… … .”
Scarlett sharpens her edge even as she coughs full of pain.
He put his hand on his shoulder and said with his eyes.
‘Hey, smile. Smile. Do you want to be beaten again?’
Did it reach my heart? Or maybe she didn’t want to be beaten by Lucia again?
“Ha ha ha ha ha… … .”
Scarlett smiled awkwardly, putting her arms around each other’s shoulders.
Anyone can see that this is an extremely flimsy excuse.
Lucia, who was looking at us, burst into laughter.
“Do you have to stick knives in each other’s bodies to be friends these days?”
“You know very well. Friendship tattoo… … No, friendship scars. “It’s something like that.”
“Huh~ Kids these days don’t know even if they know?”
Lucia looked at me intently. Scarlett has already left her attention.
Rather, it was a transaction between me and Charon. He looks curious about it.
Making a deal with Charon means that I have something worth giving to him.
You may have thought, ‘This person may be worth more than you think.’
“Hehe, let’s postpone our conversation until later. “Because we have a lot of time.”
“… … I don’t know what deal you made with that dirty bastard or how you did it, but you better be careful. “His attitude is irritating, but he’s the kind of guy who stabs people in the back.”
“Let’s be careful.”
“Don’t die and see you tomorrow. “Because I have more questions.”
Is it because he hit the player? Lucia expressed her intention to step down obediently.
But you can’t be at ease.
‘Because they could hide their presence and eavesdrop on our conversation.’
[Extra senses] can be used for traps, assassinations, etc. A skill that only reacts to things that can affect me.
They may not respond to Lucia who is simply trying to get information.
So, throw in the bait. Lucia’s exclusive bait called Rodelin.
“Come to think of it… … “I have one favor to ask of you.”
“I do a variety of things. What?”
“Senior Rodelin is very upset. “I wish you would release it for me.”
“… … Delrin is upset? That can’t be possible. “She hasn’t sulked since she was eight.”
Well, it’s like Rodelin. She hasn’t sulked since she was eight.
This is the first time I learned this, but that makes it even better.
‘Because Lucia, a siscon, wouldn’t be able to stand it.’
He spoke to Lucia, who still reacted in disbelief.
“Hehe, it’s not a lie. I saw it clearly. ah… … But you might not see it. “Senior Rodelin is good at controlling his emotions.”
Huh-!
I closed my eyes due to the sudden rush of wind.
I opened my eyes right away, but Lucia had already disappeared.
There was only a gust of wind blowing through the bar.
‘Rodelin must be having a hard time too.’
Severe ciscon that appears to be incurable… … No, you have a pervert as your older sister.
Well, it’s none of my business.
Rodelin specializes in dealing with perverts, so he’ll do a good job.
I just have to do my job.
He spoke to Scarlett, who was staring blankly at the window.
“Hehe, it’s finally sorted out. How about, let’s talk openly among friends.”
“… … “Who is your friend?”
“Of course it’s me. “Didn’t you save her life?”
Scarlett raised her middle finger.
Well, it’s big and beautiful. It’s not as good as mine though.
Of course, I’m talking about fingers.
‘I wasted too much time because of Rodelin and Lucia.’
If they were alone, they would talk leisurely, but Luna and Leger were waiting outside.
There is no more time for jokes with Scarlett.
So let’s get straight to the point.
“first of all… … “I am not a gutter rat.”
“what? “Then what is it?”
“Didn’t you hear it earlier? “I’m doing business with Professor Charon.”
“… … “So does that mean it’s true?”
“Hehe, wouldn’t you know that Lucia-sama agrees and moves on right away?”
Scarlett’s eyes changed. From eyes full of suspicion to eyes mixed with awe and admiration.
It was a natural reaction since I knew exactly what doing business with Charon meant.
perhaps.
‘You might be comparing yourself.’
The image of myself at the bottom of the gutter rat, and the image of me dealing with Charon, who is at the top of the gutter rat.
Even though I’m younger, I’m sure I’m feeling a terrible sense of defeat right now.
“And I need your help.”
“… … You need my help. That’s such a blatant lie. “Why don’t you tell me honestly that you just want to get information?”
“Hehe, I can see it clearly. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Teacher Karon… … No, it’s the image of you standing higher than that.”
Charon, who oversees the empire’s rat population.
But even Charon used to favor Scarlett, who was called the jack of all trades.
Information is information, but it was because he had a lot of unusual items.
So, it is not a lie to say that Scarlett will rise higher than Charon.
“… … I can’t believe I see it. “I can’t trust you at all because my eyes are narrow.”
“Hehe, is that so?”
“It looks like he’s trying to open my mouth somehow… … You’d better give up. “You may have seen it before, but I will never open my mouth.”
Scarlett did not give in to Lucia’s power or even when her life was in danger.
Because he’s a loyal rat? no.
The real reason why Scarlett did not give in until the end… … .
‘Because there is information that can only be obtained by working under Charon.’
And I can give you that information.
Same goes for me.
“It’s difficult if you do this. “I can’t believe you treat someone who is supposed to be your lifesaver like this.”
“Kkkkk, a lifesaver? “If I had saved you before this happened, I might have called you that.”
“Oh, of course I don’t mean you.”
“… … ?”
A question appeared on Scarlett’s face.
That’s a nice expression. He said while using the [Open Eyes] skill.
“I mean your sister.”
“How did you do that… … !”
The fact that Scarlett has a younger sister is a secret that not even Charon knows about.
Since I know that, I can’t help but be embarrassed.
Scarlett grabbed my collar.
“I don’t know what your purpose is, but you’d better stop now! “If you do something to my sister, I won’t let you go!”
Knowing my sister exists is the same as holding her hostage.
The right decision is to kneel rather than grab someone by the collar.
But Scarlett didn’t do that.
I was very excited. To the point of losing one’s reason.
But it is still too early to be surprised.
“Eternal snowflake. “You’re looking for that, right?”
“… … !”
Scarlett’s eyes widened.
That’s why he became a gutter rat.
And in the future, it will be called an ‘all-purpose store’ and it will be an opportunity to collect all the mysterious items and information in the world.
‘Sculpture disease’.
Little by little, starting from the toes, the body hardens, and finally the head hardens, turning into a statue.
It is a rare disease among rare diseases, having only affected five people in history.
It is also an incurable disease with no cure.
No, to be exact, it is not an incurable disease.
About two centuries ago, the emperor of the Han Empire. There is a record of his granddaughter receiving treatment.
And the ingredients for that treatment are.
This is the ‘eternal snowflake’ I mentioned a moment ago.
