A section of Cabrini Green.

In this place adjacent to the Silver Side, a group of vampires were busily moving about.

“Okay, we will base ourselves here for the time being.”

The leader of the group spoke as he moved through the building, where the corpses and blood of the original owners had not yet cooled.

“Aren’t you going to set up a base inside Silver Side?”

“It’s still too early. It’s not too late to collect and approach information more reliably.”

He answered his subordinate’s questions sincerely.

“As rumored, if the church hunters are concentrated in groups, it will be difficult to win.”

“But if there is a tribe leader…”

“I’m not talking about myself. I’m talking about you guys.”

“….”

“And our mission is to take Jinjo, our target, as efficiently as possible. You can engage in combat only after that side expresses refusal.”

“The tribe leader is right. There are three tribes in total that have been attacked so far.”

“I don’t know about the twelfth, but the damage suffered by the sixth and seventh tribes was great.”

The branch leader nodded his head at his subordinate’s words.

“Eslok, that stupid guy. Instead of reducing the enemy on the battlefield, they increased it and were defeated, right? I took such a gamble without fully understanding Jinjo’s full strength…”

As soon as he finished talking about the sixth tribe leader, he also said something about the seventh tribe leader.

“Gas Sandi, that guy is the same. There is an old saying like this. Don’t ruin what you have by lusting for what you don’t have. He died like that because he was blinded by his desire for revenge against Eslok. Could there be a more vain death than this?”

Despite his words to the two tribe leaders, his subordinates did not respond.

They knew their master well.

If you respond incorrectly here, you won’t be able to make any bones. Because…

“But they were both good guys! It would have been better if it had been Eslok and Gamsang D who threatened my position….”

“That’s right. It would have been nice if the two of you had asked the tribe leader for help.”

“My words!”

Because he was originally this kind of person.

He has severe mood swings, such as saying that he misses the deceased whom he was gossiping about a while ago, and has an unpredictable personality.

Nevertheless, he was a powerful person who led the second branch of the Lidocaine Association.

In fact, the first tribe was led by an elder, so he was the highest-ranking tribe leader who could go into the field.

Unlike the three tribes deployed previously, the second tribe was delegated full authority over this matter.

As a result, the branch leader began preparations to attack Little Jinjo Chris.

Although he had taken out some idiots to secure a base, this was not even a warm-up for him and his subordinates.

As the devil of crisis approaches me.

“What, are you going back home right away?”

Me and my guarantors who completed the troubleshooter registration certificate award ceremony! Sylvia, Youngmin, and Deoksu were returning to Silver Side in the car driven by Deoksu.

“You can celebrate today’s auspicious occasion at a bar or at home.”

“Umm.”

“Chris, why? Was there a place you wanted to go?”

“No, not really, but.”

Since he was the city’s second most wanted criminal of all time, he tended to refrain from going out.

So I wanted to go outside a little more, but I also wanted to avoid putting three people in danger because of me.

“By the way, Youngmin. Are you a low-level troubleshooter too?”

When I asked with sparkling eyes, Youngmin answered with embarrassment.

“No, I moved up to intermediate level last year.”

“Huh? Sylvia is definitely…”

“Yes, I was also intermediate level.”

Considering Youngmin’s age, I thought he might be a special case.

You’re so young, but you’re already a mid-level problem solver?

I decided to check one thing with Deoksu, who was driving, just in case.

“Deoksu, you?!”

“…low class!”

Well then. No, no.

In the case of troubleshooters like Adem or Deoksu who take charge of office work or support from the rear, it is difficult to advance in rank.

“Then what about Ilsung?”

“Intermediate level.”

“To be exact, it was intermediate level, which was upper level.”

To Deoksu’s answer, Sylvia added as if that wasn’t enough.

“Now that I think about it, it seemed like 2nd place recognized Ilseong. I guess you two were familiar with each other?”

“What? This is our first time seeing this.”

Deoksu reacted as if it was his first time hearing this.

“Well, as solvers work together, they are all bound to encounter each other at some point.”

However, Sylvia said it as if it was nothing special.

Oh, did Sylvia also know number 3?

“Anyway, I want to move up to intermediate level quickly!”

When I suddenly revealed my grand aspirations, Sylvia and Deoksu laughed as if it was cute.

“Why are you smiling? Even though I’m like this, I’m being serious!”

After seeing the two people’s reactions, I turned to Youngmin and Youngmin said that he would support my aspirations.

“Oh, by the way, did you get the slush fund?”

Somehow, I forgot to put the rest of the money except the slush fund I had in my Mimic wallet into Youngmin’s Mimic wallet.

Roughly speaking, the slush funds in Youngmin’s Mimic wallet are about 30% of the total.

It was not enough compared to the performances of Youngmin and Ilseong, but Ilseong said he would only receive 30% of that amount.

When I asked why, I was told that I and our Blue Heart Office desperately needed Eslok’s slush fund.

Actually, even if it wasn’t the case, 20% of Eslok’s slush fund was given to Eslok and Lillian, 10% each, and of the remaining 50%, 30% was the office’s public funds, and the remaining 20% was used as my slush fund.

50% of public funds were put to very good use.

First, a triple force field was installed securely in Sylvia’s bar and the Blue Heart Office office.

Still, Lina, one of the bartenders at the bar,’s main job is a mage… I was able to benefit from her acquaintance regarding the installation of the force field.

It was not that there was no money to install a quadruple force field, but a quadruple force field was not something that could be installed in a typical bar or the office of a small troubleshooting office.

In addition, expensive equipment was provided to the office’s troubleshooters, excluding Adem.

Not only is it a portable force field sprayer that is more powerful than the existing one, but it is also a common language translator that operates on horsepower so that there are no problems with communication even when heading to different parts of the city!

In addition, I ordered office uniforms, which can be said to be the charm of problem solvers.

It was an item that went beyond simply pursuing external beauty and was different from general clothing in terms of performance due to the addition of special processing.

Was it possible to go beyond the level of a local problem solver’s joke and have the appearance of a real problem solver’s office?

What’s even more amazing! Even after doing all this, more than half of the office’s public funds remained.

It was to the point where I was suspicious of just how much Eslok had saved up.

***

Meanwhile, when I asked whether they had taken Eslok’s slush fund in a good way, Youngmin and Deoksu responded that they did.

In addition, Deoksu said that thanks to him, his chronic financial difficulties were resolved, and even while driving, he kept turning his head towards me to express his gratitude.

“Oh, if you’re driving, look ahead!”

” Mr. Deoksu, I think what Chris said is absolutely correct this time.”

Deoksu said he realized only then that he concentrated on driving.

Meanwhile, without me knowing, Youngmin timidly grabbed my hand… but instead of holding the entire hand, he timidly held on to just one finger.

‘….’

Write it. I’ll just look at it this time.

What little masculinity was left in my body resisted fiercely, but I was able to overcome it after remembering Youngmin’s kindness in helping me.

“…!”

I suddenly grabbed Youngmin’s hand.

The guy only has one finger, one finger! If you’re going to hold on, you have to hold on to your entire hand like this.

Youngmin’s face quickly turned red as he didn’t know what to do.

However, despite his extremely flushed face, the gaze starting from his eyes was only directed at me.

“Silvia, what should I do?”

‘I think Youngmin has lost his heart to me. ‘Maybe it’s better?’

“What is it?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

I suddenly started talking to Sylvia and she noticed that the two kids in the backseat were doing something cute.

To get out of this embarrassing situation, I decided to change the topic.

“Ah, Sylvia! But why did you change my last name to Sylvia? I’m Sylvia’s daughter now?!”

“Chris, wouldn’t there be a choice between being an older sister and younger brother instead of mother and daughter?”

Sylvia seemed to want to argue that she was not too old to be called mother.

Here I decided to be sensible.

“Younger brother? I don’t think that would be bad either. But am I really related to Sylvia by blood?”

“Well, it’s not yet… but it may be reflected properly if you formally apply later.”

At her words, I took out my troubleshooter registration certificate again.

Chris Radomir. I felt a little empty because I didn’t have a last name, but using Sylvia’s last name wasn’t a bad feeling either. No, maybe it’s a good idea?

After that, we continued talking about various things, and before we knew it, we were able to arrive at Sylvia’s bar.

There have been quite a few changes in the bar as well.

As mentioned earlier, of course, a triple force field was installed on the entire exterior wall of the bar!

-Tiring.

As we entered the bar with the always refreshing sound of the doorbell, many bartenders greeted us.

Martin, Johnny, Eslok, and three male bartenders!

Lina and Lillian, two female bartenders!

I happened to use Lina and a couple of a muscular man and a sickly beautiful woman as bartenders.

For my safety, it was more efficient to do so, and thanks to this, Sylvia was able to focus on her role as the bar owner and office manager instead of bartending.

“Sister!”

Johnny was the first to talk to me.

Eslok and Lillian treated me with courtesy, as always. Well, I’m fine with either one!

“Chris, congratulations on registering as a solver!”

Lina followed Johnny and shouted loudly.

However, Lina came out at the moment and showed me a somewhat familiar object.

A carrying bag used to transport cats?

“Huh? Why is it here?”

“Chris!”

As soon as I finished speaking, a cat suddenly came up behind me and climbed on top of my head.

This is the right weight! This soft meat and fur!

“Sila?!”

No matter how much I thought about it, it was clear that it was Scylla.

But the cat clung to my head and wouldn’t fall off.

And then suddenly a tail hit me right in the corner of my eye! And even hit me!

“Aaaah! Someone help me!”

“Hahahaha!”

Johnny and Deoksu were laughing happily at my troubled appearance.

When Youngmin grabbed the cat above his head, the cat began to resist violently.

“Let go of this!”

Oh, this voice.

Let’s check the cat held in Youngmin’s hand while touching its eyes…

“Chris!”

“Sila you!”

Sheila was so sad that she came down from my head because of Youngmin’s interruption, and there were tears in her eyes.

Anyway, if you look at it this way, you’re a complete kid, right?
