Chapter Index

    Two hours before Chris’ terminal received a call.

    According to the information source, the base of Aka Aima has not been determined.

    They operated in a rotating manner, with several bases spread across the northern and eastern parts of the city.

    However, many strongholds were concentrated in the eastern part of the city.

    “….”

    Upon receiving this information, Lyra immediately moved with the Metal Sight Office.

    Needless to say, each platoon led by Ian, Nils, and Marcus was deployed.

    Among them, the 3rd platoon led by Marcus won the prize.

    “Ms. Lia, I think I found it.”

    “…I will join you.”

    Just in case, the other platoons continued to search their assigned areas.

    “It doesn’t seem to be any different from other bases.”

    “One of our guys took this.”

    Marcus cautiously showed me the screen of his terminal.

    Akaaaima, she was clear.

    “…That’s for sure.”

    Cyclops, aka the one-eyed ones, were a race not easily seen.

    And Aka Aima is probably one of the few Cyclops informants in this city.

    In addition to having one eye, she also has a body that can easily subdue most adult males.

    “For now, we are surrounding the base.”

    “Now, let’s check the infiltration route or the defensive posture of the stronghold.”

    Laia had little involvement in the command of the 3rd Platoon.

    She also had a brilliant career as the deputy chief of the second tribe, but she knew better than anyone that it wasn’t like that anymore.

    So the full-body users took action. Marcus commanded them with a green signal from his cross-eye.

    “Just in case, I’ll wait in the air.”

    “Yes.”

    Laia transformed into a small bat, as her master often did.

    At first glance, it may seem unnatural, but it is not noticeable.

    ‘This altitude should be fine.’

    At this very moment.

    Her main interest was flight altitude.

    Because it was obvious that once you passed a certain altitude, the surrounding gargoyles would come running with their eyes wide open.

    If we had gone a little higher, we would have been able to get a full view of the metal sight solvers approaching the base.

    But for now, I had no choice but to be satisfied with an imperfect view.

    “….”

    Although Laia couldn’t hear any communication between the 3rd Platoon, she was able to confirm that at least some of the Troopers were entering the stronghold.

    The number of troubleshooters entering the building presumed to be the base gradually increased.

    With a minimal number of personnel waiting outside the base, Laia also began to move.

    A single small bat might be able to get through the stronghold’s defenses.

    “It’s a trap!!!”

    “Gargoyles spotted ahead!”

    As soon as you enter the stronghold, you hear loud noises coming from all directions.

    Although they didn’t know about the trap, the gargoyle that suddenly appeared inside the stronghold confused the troubleshooters.

    Lya was also surprised by the gargoyle’s sudden appearance.

    “….”

    But the momentary judgment of the situation came first.

    Lyra infiltrated deep into the stronghold while traps and gargoyles blocked the troubleshooters.

    ‘It must be somewhere.’

    I don’t know the structure of the stronghold, but there is one method that can be used now that it is in bat form.

    It was ultrasound.

    Her master would simply transform into a bat and lunge at the opponent’s face, but she was different.

    Despite the loud noises coming from all directions, the ultrasound was calmly spread in all directions.

    After checking her surroundings with the returning ultrasound, Laia headed to a specific location.

    ◦ What do you want to do!

    There was no way I could miss the screams of the angry Cyclops.

    Leia didn’t move right away.

    No matter how strong she is, she cannot easily subdue a race called Cyclops.

    This was because there was a lot of information coming out of her mouth while talking to someone.

    “So? Now you want me to go through all this alone?! You little shits!”

    Cyclops was so angry that he threw his terminal against the wall.

    After that, she started hurling all sorts of words at the person she was talking to on the other end of the phone, cursing at him.

    “Are you giving up now?”

    But while Aima is true to her feelings.

    Suddenly, Laia approached her from behind and aimed her neck with her sharp nails.

    “…Fuck.”

    ***

    Back to the present again.

    “So it turned out well?”

    “Well, if that’s what you think.”

    “What, you’re saying it as if you’re saying no.”

    I tried to hug the fluffy Lund.

    For some reason, Lund didn’t try to avoid it this time.

    “Lund, what are you thinking about?”

    “Isn’t this a little different from what you instructed?”

    “That’s right. What I wanted was to investigate information and find out the location.”

    Still, I thought it would be okay if we could catch Aima safely and bring her back.

    Well, I guess it would be okay to give them that much autonomy.

    “That was true to some extent, but…is there really a need to be so strict?”

    “You are my family, so it is your freedom.”

    Lund seemed to respect me and didn’t say anything else about that part.

    “Haaam.”

    “You just woke up and you’re already sleepy?”

    “…That’s a bit like that.”

    I find it surprising, even though it just happened.

    But considering my current body type… doesn’t that make sense?

    “No way. Lund, I’ll leave that source to Lund!”

    “…What?”

    “Anyway, if there’s only Lund and Laia, I won’t be needed, right?”

    “This guy.”

    “Eww!”

    Lund bit me with his wolf mouth as if he were treating me as a cub.

    “What do you want me to do?”

    “That, we need to find out why the 2nd place spread fake information about becoming the Sage of the North.”

    A force that benefits from the fight between the Lidocaine Association and the anti-Lidocaine forces.

    It’s probably their doing.

    The problem, however, is that the scope of such people is so broad that it is not easy to specify them.

    So, it was a huge achievement for Laia to secure Aima’s new recruit.

    “You understand?”

    “….”

    Lund didn’t answer me right away.

    It wasn’t like I was denying it, so I decided to trust Lund.

    “Hehehe!”

    When I returned to the room with a hollow smile, there was Sheila and Janggun sleeping soundly.

    “…Midas?”

    “Yes.”

    Midas was still lying there, as if he had been shot.

    ‘What is this? Is this some kind of new protest?’

    It doesn’t seem like they didn’t give you food.

    Anyway, I lay down on the bed again.

    Even though I secretly placed my hand on the stomach of Silla and Janggun in the form of a water lily, neither of them responded.

    How many times did you touch their bellies like that?

    When I regained consciousness, the sun was already high in the sky.

    ***

    “Chris? Are you awake?”

    This time, Sheila asked while gently touching my stomach.

    “Yeah, this time it’s perfect.”

    I also touched Sheila’s belly here and there.

    But I’m alone… Sheila also has a general.

    “Chris!”

    “Ugh.”

    The general clung to me and wouldn’t let go. Meanwhile, Sheila played with my body without any disturbance.

    “Kaaaah!”

    “Chris, if you’re awake, why don’t you come into the living room?”

    While I was struggling with the unfair and unequal treatment, I heard Sylvia’s voice.

    “Huh? Oh, I got it.”

    I asked Sheila and the general if they hadn’t heard that.

    Thanks to that, I was able to escape easily.

    When I showed up in the living room in my bat-printed pajamas, Sylvia and Lund were waiting for me.

    “What about Lia?”

    “They told us all the information we needed.”

    “Really?”

    It seemed like it was a good idea to leave the work to Leia.

    By the way, you managed to get information from Aka Aima in that short period of time.

    ‘Did you torture them?’

    When you say torture, I think of the torture Lina used before.

    This means cutting the raw meat and then blowing hot air into the cut surface with a hair dryer.

    As a vampire, I did try to control my bleeding so that it wouldn’t be too much, but… it was really brutal back then.

    “Sylvia, what happened to Aima?”

    “I moved it to a suitable place nearby. It is guarded by Ms. Leia and the troubleshooters from the Metal Sight Office. ”

    “Okay, then shall we listen?”

    “Let me just get to the point quickly.”

    “Yeah!”

    I reacted positively to Lund’s words.

    Beating around the bush didn’t suit my personality.

    “First of all, let’s get to the point. There is a force behind Aima who planned this incident.”

    “What are those guys after…? Lidocaine and our mutual destruction?”

    “Well, I don’t know that far.”

    ” in?”

    What Lund said made me wonder what that was.

    Meanwhile, Sheila and Janggun sat on my left and right respectively.

    “First of all, it has become difficult to identify the power behind it.”

    “Why?”

    Sylvia also answered with a somewhat serious expression.

    “They didn’t reveal much information about their identities to Aima.”

    “Then… Aimado doesn’t know who’s behind it?”

    “Yes, I guess you could say that.”

    Hmm… I’m really disappointed, even though I’m supposed to be an information source.

    Meanwhile, Lund said that Aima’s family was being held hostage.

    Did you do that to 1st and 5th to ensure the safety of your family?

    It was an action without consequences, but if I didn’t do it, my family would die… I could understand it to some extent.

    of course!

    It was unforgivable, considering that the clash with the Lidocaine Association could have caused great damage.

    Because ‘understanding’ and ‘forgiveness’ are different.

    “Then what else?”

    “They say that when Aima revealed her location to Ms. Laia and the troubleshooters, the forces behind it immediately cut off their hands.”

    “Then what happened to Aima’s family?”

    “That’s not something we can do.”

    Lund followed up Sylvia’s answer.

    Yeah, that’s right.

    ***

    When Aima made contact with the forces behind the scenes, it seemed that she had also told them all about her impressions of them.

    However, it is extremely difficult to characterize someone based on their first impression.

    “Any other evidence?”

    “It looks like you recorded it too.”

    “They even secretly tracked them with a drone.”

    However, it seemed that the tracking by drone failed midway.

    Well, at least we have a recording.

    “Still, I guess I can convince 1st and 5th place with this.”

    “That’s right. We don’t have to fight right away.”

    Lund’s expression was a bit more subtle than mine and Sylvia’s.

    Was it because it was a shame that the picture of 1st and 5th place attacking 2nd place together ended up in vain?

    But… the opportunity came to us sooner than we expected.
