At that moment, when everyone was looking at the atmosphere as if they were shy, everyone, including Cecilia, burst out in laughter.

“It’s the same image I had in mind. really. It would have been okay to think about it a little more slowly.”

“Because he always rushes out of nowhere like that.”

“Still, thinking that ‘execution is good’ can be an advantage. If you correct the stupid side of being easily swayed by impulses, it can be a powerful weapon. Besides, Park Seong-jin is still young, so it’s easy to fix that.”

Esmeralda nodded her head as if in agreement.

I had some doubts as to whether this was really the case, but soon I realized that it was a useless worry, so I decided not to worry about it.

Cecilia and Esmeralda might think so, because I thought.

I don’t know their exact age, but they must have lived for so long that it wouldn’t be strange to call them aunty if they caught a little, or grandma if they caught enough.

“Thank you for a good look.”

“Anyway, coming back to this agenda, I think it is a feasible method if only things can be obtained. furthermore”

“yes.”

“It’s nice to be able to see the will of cadet Park Seong-jin.”

Cecilia blinked one eye at me as if she liked it.

It was something I could never understand.

What do you mean?

It’s just something I said without thinking.

I asked Aina, who was sitting next to me, in a low voice.

“What do you mean by my will?”

“Now this meeting itself is an oral meeting. There is absolutely no trust between each other. If it were you, would you be willing to entrust your life to a stranger?”

“Isn’t it going to be difficult?”

“Yeah, but you came forward and offered to supply even the scarce materials. It proves that you are a trustworthy person. Of course, there is also a way to pretend that you are and walk away… ‘Cause you’re not that cunning For Cecilia, that’s enough evidence to be trusted.”

… What I did was far more insane than I thought.

Somehow, the reaction was very intense.

In particular, Esmeralda’s expression was still unforgettable.

The face that seemed to ask if I was crazy.

“I am well aware of the thoughts of cadet Park Seong-jin, so it would be right for me to express sincerity and trust. It is possible to say that you will only help with words.”

She removed the flower-shaped brooch from her collar and held it in front of us.

What is a little unusual is that, although countless kinds of gems were embroidered on the petals, it was plain lapis lazuli (?) that adorned the central part of the flower.

The color was deep and blue thanks to the well-cut, but I felt that it was very modest for the part that should be the most glamorous.

“I will show my sincerity with this.”

“It looks like a great thing, but… As far as I know, I’ve been told this is a level worth reselling. Unless it was made by a very famous craftsman like Faberge.”

Cecilia let out a rustling sound and smiled softly.

I knew it was, but apparently it wasn’t.

After all, the knowledge I know only applies to the world I lived in, and there is no law that says it will be the same in this world.

“It’s not wrong. If this thing was just a plain brooch, it would have been. But, you don’t have to worry about that. It’s the watcher’s eye.”

“A watcher’s eye? this?”

There are many different armed groups in this world.

Whether it’s a hero team, a villain organization, a government-affiliated organization, or Cosmos.

Watchers are one such group.

However, compared to other groups, they only exercise significantly less power.

These are the ones who watch, not those who punish or oppress.

Nevertheless, the observers boasted a level of risk equal to that of the other groups.

In terms of information power, they were the beings who boasted superiority to any other group.

And, this ‘watcher’s eye’ was a weapon that was the source of that power.

“okay. Although it does not reach the highest level of artifacts such as the lighthouse of Paros, it is also an object that has the power to see all things. I know so many facts for an average person, and also because I am a member of the Watcher.”

“Then, isn’t it something you can just put out like this?”

“I have served as a watcher for quite some time. I am now old enough to retire. Even if I’m not at that age, I can’t continue to hold the position of the former watchman as I have to focus on building a broken family and building stability.”

“But, none of us is worthy of such a dignified position.”

“Do not worry. I don’t want to go into the takeover process right now. It’s just leaving it to you. The qualifications of a supervisor are not decided by me. It’s up to these ‘Tears of the Ocean’ to decide for themselves. I hope you don’t refuse.”

Cecilia pushed the brooch towards us.

Now as if this is your thing.

It was difficult to understand Cecilia’s intentions to present such a precious object at first, so the first thing I decided to do was to check if it was really the watcher’s eye.

“It’s me, Cecilia. Could you give me a hand and give it a try?”

“Here you go.”

“I’m sorry, but excuse me for a second.”

Without hesitation, I poked the tip of the pin into her finger.

Then, the blood defied the laws of physics and started running backwards on the pins.

‘It’s real. This is really the watcher’s eye.’

The watcher’s eye is basically similar to that of an ego weapon.

You decide for yourself who will own you, and you know how to distinguish the owners you have chosen.

Seeing him casually accepting Cecilia’s blood, he must have been the owner of this artifact called Tears of the Ocean.

“Cadet Seong-Jin Park knows a lot of really strange things. He knows how to tell the eyes of a watcher.”

“There are a lot of things I know.”

“I wonder how the heck you know this, but it’s something you can figure out gradually… More than anything else, this would have been enough confirmation.”

“There is no doubt about it. This is definitely the watcher’s eye.”

“Now, I just need to check Esmeralda’s thoughts.”

With that said, the action Esmeralda took was truly astonishing.

Without hesitation, he cut off the index finger of his left hand and put it on the table.

“I haven’t brought anything, so I’ll bet this as collateral. Don’t worry about the wound. As long as I seal the amputation with my own power, the wound will not heal or spread.”

“You are making a bold decision. A first-team hero’s finger is enough as collateral, and it’s valuable. However, it will greatly interfere with your daily life, are you okay? It’s something that people might be suspicious of.”

“That can be fixed with a prosthetic arm and gloves. You can put it back together as long as you return it later. If it is entrusted to cadet Park Seong-jin, it can be interpreted as meaning that he will take it back by force, so I will leave this to Cecilia. Please don’t lose it and take good care of it.”

It’s dizzy, really.

Obviously, $800,000 was virtually all my fortune.

I said that I would put it up, so it must have been a drastic decision.

However, it didn’t have a great value to exchange for the Watcher’s Eye or Esmeralda’s index finger, so it was an outrageous size for a guy like me to handle.

“Verification is over. Now that we have checked what each of us is thinking, we can only hope that things will go well. The plan is to go with what Katarina Cadet suggested.”

“… Are you okay like this? Do you have any other opinions?”

“In the end, confidence is the most important issue. It’s best to move in the direction you are confident in.”

“I agree with Cecilia. Trusting someone strongly is for a good reason. It’s not like Katarina’s proposal is not a very realistic plan.”

I used to think of myself as a person with big walls.

However, that was just my illusion.

When I was entrusted with the full power of such an important person, the desire to run away at any moment arose out of fear.

“I will send you the address later, so please send the items there. Park Seong-jin’s cadet.”

“I will contact Cecilia separately as soon as my current job is finished.”

“Then, I’ll say thank you again.”

“I also hope to see you with good news.”

Cecilia and Esmeralda held out their hands with determination.

It wasn’t that they didn’t know what that meant, but me and the other guys could do nothing but stare at the hand with a blank expression on their face.

Because I could feel how difficult it was to face Jinjo.

“Quickly shake hands. we. When you become a great hero, use it as something to be proud of.”

Without a second thought, he waved his clasped hands.

And by the time she woke up, Cecilia and Esmeralda had already left the table.

All that was left were brooches that were sparkling with the color of the sea and the guys with bewildered expressions on their faces.
