A search request from a hacker who hacked a mosquito-killing laser.

Naturally, Laco, the company that developed the laser, was unable to secure the hacker. That’s because Tina safely headed to the southern part of Magusfall.

The hacker’s whereabouts are unknown, but the information the hacker was trying to leak has been secured.

The drones that were tracking me, David, and Lina had strange reactions and were all shot down by the gargoyles, and the drones that monitored the other solvers did not achieve much.

In addition, a thorough investigation of our office’s terminals found nothing that could link us to Tina.

“Do you think it is too much to conduct surveillance using drones?”

While Laco failed to secure solid physical evidence, Silvia put pressure on Maximilian.

After Maximilian conveyed his opinion to the higher-ups… we were able to receive the reward for the request.

Rakosa, and the fairy hackers Tina and Lina.

The two requests received from both sides were concluded together. I was the first to think of this situation!

Part of the compensation received from Raco was given to the bereaved family of Datihi, who died during the commission.

“If it’s that much money… it’s not a lot.”

“That’s right. I was fortunate that the income from this request was not bad.”

Money isn’t everything, but I thought it might ease the pain of losing my family a little.

“But Sylvia.”

“Yes?”

Above all, we also received compensation from Tina and Lina.

Although there was money that Sylvia passed to Tina through David, these two commissions were the largest in the history of our Blue Heart Office.

It was a pity that I could not enjoy this reward with Datihi.

“So what are you all going to do with this money?”

“We need to strengthen the equipment first.”

After completing the request, I asked as if I was curious when we gathered together.

Johnny and David naturally answered that it was to strengthen the equipment.

“Well, there are a lot of places to put money, so I think it will decrease quickly if you use it.”

Sylvia’s answer was somehow sad.

Is this similar to the joys and sorrows of office workers whose salary disappears in an instant on payday?

“What about Astoby and Adem?”

“No comment.”

“…?”

Astobi tried to answer, but reacted as if he was puzzled when Adem refused to answer.

Well, it’s obvious if it’s Adem.

I thought I would spend money on information or communication. Adem was also in charge of the office’s affairs.

“Who is your sister?”

“Huh?’

I was a little taken aback by Johnny’s question. It’s not because I haven’t decided where to write.

The problem was that I had too many places to write.

Hehehe… I thought it would be possible to buy Scylla from Cat Mom with the money I earned this time.

Well, I’m not sure if he would sell his child for money.

“I don’t know how Chris will use it, but… I’m sure he’ll really like the Mimic wallet that Youngmin gave him.”

“Oh, this guy?”

I took out the Mimic wallet from my pocket and showed it.

A living, moving wallet, it was an item that could not be easily seen except by Maguspol.

“Silvia, come to think of it, did you send Youngmin’s part?”

Sylvia seemed to have forgotten about it until I asked.

“No, not yet. Still, I think it would be better to send it while the word is out. Adem?”

“Yes, yes. I’ll send it to you today.”

It just so happened that I increased Adem’s workload.

Still, it was true that Youngmin and Silas actively helped me.

Sylvia later also paid the fair price to the Silver Side cat mom who rented several cats.

***

A few days later, Sylvia’s bar.

It looked very different from a few days ago.

First of all, we hired a new bartender for the bar.

Lina, a Medusa born as a mage!

Her presence with hair made of white snakes was very popular with guests.

“No, now the mole is taking orders?”

In addition, there is an unidentifiable giant mole the size of a human being.

“Hmm….”

I don’t know about Lina, but I looked at the giant mole-shaped tribe leader as if he were disapproving.

“Chris, does it make you ugly if you frown like that?”

“Huh? Did I frown?”

At Sylvia’s words, I quickly pretended to spread my soft cheeks here and there.

“Will it spread like that?”

“Because you never know!”

But when my eyes turned to the giant mole, my face quickly turned into a frown.

Sylvia, who was mixing drinks for the guests, asked again.

“I hope you remember that it was Chris who asked that mole to take care of the customers.”

“I know that!”

“Then what is the problem?”

“No. Should I say that it feels like my popularity is gradually being overtaken?”

The baby bat was cute, but it was very difficult to beat the giant mole waddling towards it.

“Hey! They say don’t hold a cup with a snake.”

Meanwhile, something seemed to be going on with Martin and Lina, who were working on the other side of the captaincy.

“Oh, it’s like that again.”

A sight enough to make Martin scream.

Lina unconsciously grabbed the cup in a way that made the white snake on her head bite the cup.

Of course, it was an unhygienic method, so Sylvia and Martin stopped it several times.

“Sorry, sorry!”

“I said that once or twice.”

Martin reacted as if he was really fed up, and Lina looked very intimidated.

The white snakes that resemble her hair also seem to be very intimidated.

I transformed into the form of a baby bat and landed lightly on Lina’s head.

“…Chris?”

“Don’t be so heartbroken. Because I like Lina’s hair.”

In fact, it was an impromptu and difficult phrase to comfort her.

“Really?”

“Okay then!”

Even though it was a lie, I pressed the white snakes with the baby bat’s small hands and wings.

It was fortunate that the snakes that made up her head were not large.

It’s a shame because they look like cute little baby snakes. If they were bigger, maybe it would have been too much to touch them?

In the real world, I’ve often seen videos of snakes drinking water, and looking at them like that, snakes are pretty cute creatures.

Meanwhile, Sylvia came towards me and Lina. Then she smiled an ominous smile that made everyone who was watching uneasy.

“The visuals are outstanding, but the work sense is poor.”

“Yes?”

Lina’s reaction was as if she was wondering what on earth Sylvia was talking about.

“Kaaak!”

I knew it would be like this!Silvia started again.

A joke about an old man who doesn’t know how to react. As I turned my eyes towards Martin, he seemed to have decided to ignore me altogether.

Meanwhile, Sylvia even subtly used the rhyme, which was annoying.

“Lina understands. Silvia feels a bit like that.”

“What does that feeling feel like?”

It was Sylvia who dared to ask me. I didn’t answer that question, but quietly turned my head away.

Meanwhile, the leader of the tribe was being treated cutely by the customers and even collecting tips for me.

That bastard…!

***

A little time at the bar.

When it got late enough, Sylvia and I decided to go home to the house on the second floor of the bar.

“Martin! Lina! See you tomorrow!”

When I waved my hand vigorously, the two people also waved their hands together. Sylvia started walking up the stairs with me.

“…!”

The giant mole saw me and Sylvia like that and started waddling along.

“Uh-huh, you can’t come already.”

Actually, there was nothing set in stone, but since I had collected the tip I would receive, I thought I could handle this level of personality.

“Chris? Isn’t it time for Mole to eat?”

“Keuuuu.”

The mole repeatedly lowered his head as if he was grateful to us.

“Martin?! Lina? Wouldn’t it be nice for you two to have this guy help you?”

“No, I’m fine.”

Ah, look at that cool guy.

Regardless of Martin’s answer, the guests clearly looked disappointed.

Of course, this bar’s two mascots, a baby bat and a giant mole, leave at the same time!

“Okay, follow me quickly.”

Martin reacted like that, but even if his junior Lina responded, there was little chance that it would be of much help.

Anyway, since it was like this, I just went up to the second floor of the house with the branch leader.

“Young car!”

I jumped in front of the refrigerator.

Vampire blood, and it’s very cold in the refrigerator!

After work, I needed to soothe my tired mind and body with this.

“Hey, come quickly.”

While Sylvia was changing her clothes, I motioned for the tribe leader to come closer.

“Now, open your eyes.”

I don’t mean it in any strange way. Because it was just a call for the tribe leader to open his mouth.

Although it looked like a giant mole, it was also strictly a vampire… blood supply was essential.

It’s not because I’m a vampire.

If a vampire cannot consume blood, the body cannot function properly, just like a person cannot sleep.

“Stop.”

Sylvia hadn’t come out yet, but it seemed like there was enough blood.

The giant mole brought his brown, furry face closer to me.

“Thank you….”

Whenever I hear a mole talking, it’s a truly amazing sight, isn’t it?

It seemed a bit difficult to talk in that situation.

***

When Sylvia came out into the living room, I was already feeding the giant mole.

“Chris? Now that I think about it, can I give something like that to a mole?”

“…Wouldn’t it be okay?”

It was just a matter of opening a few canned food for human consumption and putting them in a suitable bowl… but the leader of the tribe was eating them as if he enjoyed them very much.

“If there was going to be a problem, it would have happened a long time ago.”

“Well, I guess that’s true too.”

Sylvia must have thought what I was saying made sense and began preparing dinner as usual.

“It has to be like this for the time being. Still, isn’t this better than dying too?”

“…Yes.”

The tribe leader answered by pressing his long mouth towards me so that Sylvia could not hear.

“Oh, and let me ask you one question.”

The guy listened to me and stared at me again.

“What is your name? Even if I search for the sixth tribe, I can’t find anything.”

“…Eslook.”

“Eslook?”

“…This is Eslok Fabren…”

Esloc Fabrenne?

It certainly seemed like that was what he said. I immediately accessed the Solver Wiki using my terminal.

Next, I searched for the name he gave me.

Oh, as expected, it pops up when I search by name!

Seeing that the length of the document was longer than I expected, it seemed like I was just half-baking.

Meanwhile, unusually, unlike when I searched for the office that Sylvia belonged to, there was a video from the very beginning.

“You don’t have to look at it… You can do it.”

The guy started covering his face with his mole-like claws, as if he was somehow embarrassed.

what? What is it? Could this be his dark history? Looking at the reaction of the tribe leader, I could feel the scent of dark history in the air.

– Kuuk.

I decided to play the video without the slightest hesitation. Then, the guy quickly left the scene, waddling.

“Those who want to join the sixth tribe, keep this in mind!”

Esloc Fabrenne, a large vampire in his true form, was shouting in the video.

“We are the fist of the association! What we do is simple. Take down those the association wants! It doesn’t matter how!”

“Bare-handed fighting, combat armed with various equipment, high-speed chases and deep exploration. The things we do are varied, but in the end, they are one thing.”

– Beep.

In the video, Eslok was about to say something important with his majestic appearance.

Eslok, who looked like a giant mole, interrupted my video viewing by pressing a button on the device.

“Hey, you bastard. He was a pretty decent guy, right?”

It was a long-awaited black story, but I decided to stop watching the video and check the guy’s history.

It’s longer than I thought, so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to watch it all today!
