After handing the business card to Malttugi.

I immediately became a spirit and, taking advantage of the darkness, climbed up the wall of the official residence and headed toward my destination.

Gradually.

“Are you here? You worked hard… Huh?!”

I opened the window, went inside, closed the window, and immediately overpowered the mastermind.

[Is it betrayal?]

“W-what do you mean?!”

[A man named Hwalbindang’s stake appeared where I went to attack. How did it happen?]

“Hwalbindang? Wait a minute, I really don’t know what’s going on?!”

Zhou Mo looked genuinely embarrassed.

This could also be acting, so I didn’t release the restraints.

[There are three possibilities in my head right now. One is when, by coincidence, two forces attack the same place at the same time. Another thing is if the Hwalbindang follows you in the process of collecting information. And the last one….]

“I betrayed you? That can’t be possible…! Even if I die, I will die as a determined person!”

[So, is it really a coincidence that your path overlapped with mine? I don’t think so.]

Malttugi appeared as soon as I destroyed all the facilities and dealt with the demon.

Unless you time it and show up, there is no way it would appear at such an appropriate time.

[I don’t believe in coincidences. Especially coincidence in this situation.]

“I feel really unfair…!”

[Are you serious?]

“Yes! I just followed the instructions from above!”

[Then there is only one possibility left.]

I was slightly annoyed.

[…Who was the first person who gave you the mission and instructed you to collect information?]

“What? Do you really think that there is a traitor in the organization?”

[Answer.]

Information leaked out.

If the mastermind who collected the information was not a traitor, there was a natural possibility that something had gone haywire in the mastermind’s higher-ups.

[It is against manners to ask this during a meeting, but which corps do you belong to?]

“Army Corps! I belong to Gungi!”

[Where is the Archery Corps? Is it Bikjodae? Or a jujakdae? Bonghwangdae?]

“…Crow. Ugh, they’re revealing everything, including this.”

For an informant to reveal all of his or her affiliations is tantamount to taking the path of ‘dismissal’.

Just as National Intelligence Service agents do not specifically disclose their affiliation, members of the organization naturally do not disclose their information in detail.

However, the fact that she said this means that Joo-mo is innocent in her own way.

Revealing your affiliation to me, a member of another unit, is like risking your life.

That’s the case in association.

[good. I believe it. But your superiors cannot be trusted.]

“Well, that can’t be possible. The Night Ravens are a unit under Gungi-nim’s direct command. There is no way a night crow would betray the organization.”

[well.]

Transformation cancelled.

“You can find out more details by checking directly.”

I put on the hotel gown I had been instructed to prepare in advance, tied my belt, and put the Taegeuk watch on my desk back on my wrist.

“Are you trying to call the raven captain?”

“No.”

I pointed my finger up.

“Specially for Koreans. When an accident occurs, it does not affect the rank, but rather the person in charge or the higher-ups.”

“…You really?”

Beep beep.

Did the phone ring three times?

[Ah, hello!]

“Hello, Director.”

[Oh, moving? Okay. I can talk right now.]

The mother-in-law’s expression as she looks at me is filled with astonishment.

Maybe it’s because ‘Isa’s’ voice is completely different from what I usually hear.

“I was currently on a mission with a member of the Ravens and experienced a strange situation.”

[……what?]

Unlike the lively voice just a moment ago, the voice became cold and even the main mother’s expression changed.

“Roughly the situation is like this.”

I relayed the situation I experienced without making any mistakes.

[Can you change my phone?]

“You can tell me now. Because it’s right next to you.”

[Statement of official status.]

“Loyalty! By the way, I am Celestia, a member of the 2nd generation of the Ravens!!”

They say it’s a mastermind, but the name doesn’t sound like a mastermind at all.

[Celestia… Celestia… Hmm, I understand. Manager, can you give me 3 minutes? I’ll check it right away.]

“It’s okay if it takes a little more time.”

[Don’t hang up on the phone. I just checked…it’s done.]

The director let out a laugh.

[I guess there is a friend among the ravens who wants to join the Hwalbindang over there. I’m out of my mind. [You mess with a goblin.]

“Is this woman not related?”

[I was unfortunately taken advantage of. Let me know if you want. I’ll send another guy right away.]

“It’s okay because it’s not that bad. If you’re at fault, it’s probably that you didn’t realize that your boss had a sinister plan. Or…it’s because there are still a lot of people in the organization who don’t like me.”

[Well, it’s not like that! What a capable and great person Manager Do is!]

“That’s what I’m saying.”

Who in the organization would like someone who rose from a low-level executive to a position directly under the CEO in just 6 months?

I’m not even in a separate team, but I’m working alone as a soloist.

“Anyway, be careful. Since many of the people under the director are from this country, there may be others other than the person who leaked the information this time. Whether it is a relative relationship with Hwalbindang, a priestly relationship, local or academic ties.”

[okay. I can’t suddenly cut off all the branches, but I’ll look at it step by step. And there, Celestia.]

“Yes, Director!”

With a voice full of discipline, Celestia took her stance.

[Continue to work as you do now. Do not skip missions or orders that are suddenly given to you.]

“Yes?”

[In any case, just because you contact a goblin at Hwalbindang or anywhere else, it’s not like the goblin will betray you and go somewhere else.]

It’s as they say.

I have no reason to betray the organization, and I have no intention of betraying it.

Even if they give you 3 times more than you would pay.

[But you can’t bear to keep trying to attract goblins to your side by using the organization’s internal information network, right? So, just pretend you don’t know and accept all instructions. Whether it is instructions coming through the Ravens or indirectly requesting support through other units.]

“If something similar to this happens, do you plan to handle it yourself?”

[Oh, me myself? I’m not that free. It’s up to the HR team to take care of it.]

I interpreted those words for Joo Mo through my mouth.

This means that I will George it myself.

[Chief Do. I hope you don’t tell this to other directors. Especially to that gloomy friend.]

“Of course. I have no intention of causing any trouble, Director. Oh, and it’s a bit weird to chat briefly during work.”

I stretched out my hand toward Joo Mo and stopped her, then calmed my voice and lightly kissed the Taegeuk watch.

[…uh?]

“Thank you. Director. Thanks to the director, I was able to resolve the misunderstanding.”

[Uh, uh, yes…! I solved an unpleasant incident that happened on our team, so of course I should do it! Please contact me next time if anything happens. Shut up, hang up!]

Pop.

The phone was disconnected.

I pressed the Taegeuk watch to turn off the screen, then stood up and politely apologized to Joo Mo.

“I’m sorry. I thought he was a traitor who colluded with the Hwalbindang.”

“Oh, no.”

“Treat me comfortably just like I treated you before I left for the mission. Anyway, just because you know their identity, it doesn’t mean what they have to do will change.”

“Ah, yes. okay. But…”

Jumo seemed to have relaxed a little, and asked cautiously, pointing to my Taegeuk watch.

“Are you…Gunggi?”

“Uh.”

“…Are you on the phone with Gungi directly?”

“Director level… has a direct number with the ‘four major executives’. Although I rarely call.”

I can make phone calls, but they can’t call me directly.

Because it is an order from the commander-in-chief.

“I was rude, but please be kind to me in the future. This side is also a bit desperate to hide its identity.”

“Ah, uh, no. It was my fault for accepting the order because it was an order from above without properly checking where it was coming from. Is it okay…?”

Although I was the one who made the mistake of subduing him by bending his arm, Joo-mo was obviously concerned about me.

“Then, let’s have a drink together to make up and clear up any misunderstandings.”

To commemorate the successful completion of the mission.

As a purification ritual to kill various unclean things and wash away all the heat.

“How about chicken and beer?”

“…Ah.”

The mother-in-law smiled brightly and smiled-

“……I just finished drinking the beer.”

Immediately his expression hardened.

“I can’t help it. Joo Mo.”

I pointed to Zhou Mo’s Taegeuk watch.

“Have it delivered.”

“Ah.”

” Even at this hour, there are places that sell beer for a late-night snack. In the meantime, I’ll take a shower.”

“I understand. I’ll order it soon, so take your time and wash up. But…can I just ask you one thing? Oh, you don’t have to say it.”

“What is it?”

“What is your relationship with Gungi?”

“…….”

A little complicated relationship.

“To you, Gunggi may be a very cold and cold person, but to me, she is a woman who is warmer than anyone else.”

“Wow….”

It’s as they say.

I’m in trouble.

She is truly a woman with a warm heart.

“After taking a shower, let’s talk for a bit while eating chicken. The duties that Jumo must receive in the future are not that important to me as to who they come from.”

“Then…?”

“Mission related to the devil.”

I was very fortunate that my first mission was exactly what I was looking for.

“From now on, I will accept anything related to the devil, devil seeds, or the devil even if it is questionable. Especially…Pandemonium.”

A huge organization where all the famous devils gather.

“Because all demons must be killed.”

For world peace and our organization’s smooth conquest of the world.

like that.

The ‘first’ devil seed has been disposed of.
