“How about we compromise at this point?”

“….”

“….”

The government office did not miss the moment when the three bosses’ eyes turned to me.

I and three others just watched from afar.

We believed that was the best, best decision we could make.

In any case, our job was to escort the government officials. It wasn’t about causing conflict with gangs or anything like that.

“But don’t you think it’s a bit hot?”

“Chris.”

After hearing what I said, Ilseong pointed to Eslok.

Eslok’s head was still burning with passion.

As the living torch next to me turned its head here and there, the heat was clearly felt.

“….”

“Chris, why are you doing that?”

“Eslok, you know that hair. Can’t you just turn off the complaints?”

“Okay.”

Eslok paused for a moment and then extinguished the fire that had been burning fiercely just a moment ago.

“…!”

The audience was agitated by Eslok’s sudden action.

The three bosses showed the most violent reactions.

They were still focused on their conversation.

“That guy needs to stop spraying drugs in Auckland first.”

“If not, we have nothing to talk about with that bastard.”

“Since when did you bastards care about such things!”

The government tried to calm the bosses down.

But they also had their own quirks.

They weren’t people who would immediately get angry just because they were threatening people with no idea where they came from.

“Anyway, keep that in mind! If you see even a medicine bag in Auckland one more time, I’ll blow your head off.”

“Mr. Lee…”

This moment.

Eslok’s lights had gone out.

“Huh?!”

It wasn’t something that Eslok and I had intentionally planned.

But it was enough to seem to them as a final warning.

After the flames disappeared, Eslok looked around at the gang members with the empty image of a horse’s skull.

The deep darkness that lay inside the empty eyelids made them shudder.

“….”

“….”

“Now, how about everyone calm down and do this?”

Taking another opportunity, the government office came up with a compromise.

The boss who sold drugs in Auckland stops selling drugs.

“Wait a minute, then only I will lose out. If something goes, there must also come.”

The government office countered the sensitive boss and mentioned the conditions for the other two bosses.

Two bosses compensate for the damage caused to the boss who sold them drugs.

“What is the amount of compensation?”

“No matter how bad I am, I can do this…”

Talks between the three bosses and the government office continued.

I asked Ilsung, who was next to me, if he thought those guys would accept the conditions presented.

“I will probably accept it.”

“Why?”

“Perhaps the government office will step forward.”

I wondered if there was room for the government to intervene further here.

Then Eslok mentioned one possibility. The government pays damages on behalf of the two gangs.

“You really want to go that far?”

“Compared to the continued struggle between the three gangs, I think they will judge it as cheap.”

“Hmm.”

As I listened to Ilsung’s answer, it didn’t seem like an opinion that was too hard to believe.

***

Meanwhile, I decided to make some small changes to my body.

I am now in an adult’s body. Thanks to that, I am overflowing with a kind of ‘confidence’.

The size of her confidence pocket was similar to that of Sylvia.

‘Shall we reduce it a little?’

After making a few adjustments, I was able to get my confidence back to a reasonable level.

Even so, the clothes I’m wearing right now are somehow sloppy.

In any case, as I took on the body of an adult, my clothes were simply changed to match with magical power.

However, as the body grew, the clothes were roughly increased in size. Therefore, it was somewhat difficult to view it as a natural structure.

“Ha, I guess I can live now.”

“Huh?”

It was just me talking to myself. But Johnny reacted to anything I said casually.

“Johnny, don’t you think I’ve changed a bit?”

“…Well. I’m not sure.”

It looked like he was trying to find a mistake in the picture.

“Really?”

As expected, it didn’t seem to be noticeable that he had slightly reduced his confidence pocket.

Still, I was very satisfied.

‘Anything in moderation is good. No, if you think about it, you might still have fairly large breasts, right?’

Even if you reduce it a little, it’s like this.

I, too, was surprised by my confidence.

Suddenly, as I looked at my body like this, I became concerned about the gaze of those around me.

While the three bosses were talking about something important, the gang members’ eyes were, as expected, on us.

“Johnny, how are you?”

“What? Sister.”

“Do you see anything suspicious about them?”

“Not yet.”

Immediately after answering, Johnny narrowed his eyes. Then he began to watch his green compatriots.

How much time has passed like that?

The three bosses stood up from their respective seats and began to disperse.

***

Looking at the bright expressions of the officials at the government office… it seemed like it had ended well.

“What, it finished earlier than expected?”

“I think the government office would have provided as much convenience as possible.”

“Sure. Otherwise, there is no way it would end this quickly.”

The bosses make more noise among themselves.

I had roughly expected something like that, but it turned out to be completely different, so I felt somewhat disappointed.

While I was doing that, officials from the government office approached me.

“Dear Blue Heart Office. Thanks to you, I survived.”

The menacing appearance of the four people and my appropriate warning seemed to have paid off.

Rather than opposing our opinion, the attendants in the government office repeatedly nodded their heads in agreement.

Seeing such a flexible attitude, it seemed like the civil servants of Maguspol.

“So this is the end of the request?”

“Yes, that’s right. The promised compensation will be delivered immediately through the public order maintenance office.”

That was the only part I was interested in.

Afterwards, the government office attendants continued to grab my vicious right hand and shake it back and forth.

It didn’t seem like a good idea to look like that while gang members were watching.

“Ha….”

But what can you do?

The government office attendants had already shaken my hand at least once and were quickly leaving the scene.

“Let’s get out of here too.”

“I’ve done my job, so that would be good.”

I got up from my seat.

Then, it is a little smaller than Johnny, Eslok, and Ilsungi. My body stood out because I was very tall for a woman.

Should I say that it is thanks to my long stature?

The gang members who had not yet left were just looking at the sight of platinum-blonde hair blowing in the strong wind.

“Chris, let’s go.”

“Yes.”

Eslok and Johnny moved ahead of me on the left and right, and Ilseong naturally followed the three of us from behind.

I felt as if I was an important person accompanied by three guards or bodyguards.

Things were resolved so easily that I felt hopeless.

However, I tried to put those feelings aside and focused on getting out of the scene.

The place where the bosses of the three gangs had gathered just moments ago suddenly became empty.

“But it’s a bit surprising.”

“What do you mean?”

“There are those gang members from earlier. They react sensitively to drug sales.”

“It would be a natural reaction. It’s like selling drugs to your own people.”

Johnny, who happened to be next to me, stepped in to help.

Orcs have a strong sense of kinship.

“It’s so strong that it seems like a disaster.”

Even Eslok chimed in with a word in passing.

However, he did not think positively about the orc’s temperament.

Johnny just cleared his throat at Eslok’s reaction and didn’t bite.

“And it’s not just because they are good that they stopped drug sales.”

“Oh, of course I know that.”

No fool would sit idly by and watch as a competing organization’s financial resources increase.

***

It’s already been an hour since we headed to the hideout on Grove Avenue again.

I was able to reach a point where I could see a cozy hideout building in the distance.

I asked about Ilseong following us until the end.

When asked if he was going back to the Ildong office, Ilseong said that he had something to talk about with Sylvia.

“It’s not a strange story, is it?”

“You don’t think I’m like Chris, do you?”

“What’s wrong with you, Chris?”

Ilsung’s joke.

But Eslok, who received it, seemed to have accepted it with sincerity.

Johnny and I talked back and forth to keep the two of us from colliding.

“Silvia! We’re here!”

Tiring! The clear sound of the doorbell was repeated several times at the door.

The eyes of those in the bar on the first floor turned to us.

Eslok returned to his true self just then, and Johnny quickly put down the heavy minigun nearby.

“Chris.”

I also tried to return to my childlike self.

But when I saw Sylvia welcoming me, I thought it would be nice to hug her like an adult.

“Ha, Sylvia is shorter than me now!”

“It’s not that I’m small, but Chris is tall?”

Sylvia responded in her usual tone.

“Okay, then I guess I should first check whether the request was fulfilled well.”

Me, Johnny, and Eslok followed Sylvia to the inner space of the bar.

Instead of following us, Ilseong sat on a seat near the captain and ordered a drink.

They probably thought that the three of us would be enough to report progress to Sylvia.

I don’t know if I should call it a kind of trust.

“First of all, the request was successful. They said the compensation would be delivered through this public order maintenance office.”

“As expected, I think it was a good idea to follow my opinion.”

“Well, maybe so?”

“Why are you stuttering there?”

It was Sylvia’s idea for me to appear as an adult.

It was suggested by Lillian that Eslok assume the form of a burning horse head bone, and by David that Johnny assume the appearance of a minigun.

Afterwards, without leaving anything out, we reported what happened to the director of our office.

“Hmm, there wasn’t really a problem.”

“Right?”

I quickly returned to my childish self and stood next to Sylvia.

As if she had something to offer.

“Okay, Chris. Well done.”

“Hehe.”

Sylvia lifted me up and held me in her arms! and hugged me.

The pressure coming from Sylvia’s pocket of confidence was as great as the pocket of confidence that I had felt a moment ago.

“Oh, and Mr. Lund said he had something to say to Chris.”

“Lund?”

“Yes, in relation to the items recovered from the Sasau Quarry last time.”

Oh, I wondered if it was about King Midas.

We’re finally meeting our little one!
