Duke, Please Repent! chapter 272
51. Infiltration with the Duke (3)
“This is the material.”
Edna took some papers from the subspace pocket and handed it to Serpens.
Curious, I hung my head and looked around, and Serpens put the papers on the table. The content of the documents caught my eye.
“I made money by doing something illegal.
If it were ramen, I would have been able to report it… .”
Edna, who was obviously behind the investigation in an illegal way, said with a sigh, as if it were a pity.
Eugenes sympathized with her shameless behavior and sighed as if it was a pity, and Serpens pretended not to hear it as he concentrated on the paperwork.
I, who was forced to be shut up by Serpence, quietly read the documents together.
Reading papers with him
Memories of reading textbooks with him came to mind.
‘That’s why you should have left everything in a locker like me.’
Inwardly admiring my cleverness, I again focused on the contents of the document.
In the document, what kind of business Rosio had grown in size was organized by month.
As Edna said, last year’s profit went back and forth between the red and the black, and the profit, which barely seemed to sustain itself, showed a rapid growth starting in January of last year.
And now it’s down a little bit
I was drawing three.
Q_…” tko •
Serpence, who had looked through the last chapter, drooled lightly.
I had some doubts that there was a demon king behind the growth of the top, but now I am completely convinced.
As the faces of me and Serpence grew serious, Eugene, who was sitting across from me, shook my head to read the upside-down papers, wondering if they were also curious.
Seeing this, Serpens handed over the documents he had read to Euges.
“I’ll have to check the top side as well.
NS.”
“Did you find out anything?”
“It’s strange that last year, while investing aggressively and making a profit, this year, it’s coming out very defensively.”
“Now that I’ve earned enough money, isn’t it that I want to keep it stable?”
At Edna’s question, Serpens shook his head.
Although Rossio’s upper rank has grown rapidly, it is not at the level of making a name for himself across the continent. see through the future
If you have such a good eye for the market that it is doubtful what you are seeing, there is no way to stop at this level. Also, it is strange that the purpose is to seek stability. Just because you don’t invest doesn’t mean you won’t pay. Maintaining the top always incurs costs, and you have to keep investing and making money to make up for it.”
Serpence gave various explanations. It doesn’t matter if you hear it with one ear and be captivated by it.
Since he’s been babbling hard about it, it’s just laying the groundwork for that justification.
In the end, the money they earned last year seems to be flowing into the evil forces. So, I’ll have to infiltrate myself and check if there are no demons in the top.’
“•••For that reason, I guess you’ll have to hide inside the top and make sure you don’t have a connection with the demon worshipers]-”
see this I thought it would be like this I am the continent’s best serpent activist
it’s sad
If there is Goku on the palm of the Buddha, there is Serpens on the palm of mine.
“The problem is that we have to check with the nursery as well…”
If the top problem was solved first, it would be wary of the possibility that the demons would take the children hostage.
Serpens muttered like that and glanced at me.
Which one should you be in charge of? And I’m thinking about where to put it, etc.
“I’ll put the top down.”
Noticing what he was worried about, Yu Jis raised his hand and volunteered.
“Are you okay?”
“sure.”
“If there are demon worshipers there…”
“I’ll ask Ayre to see you in dangerous places, so don’t worry about it. And since Ayre can move through small crevices, it will be easy to enter and exit secret places without a trace.”
Seeing Serpence’s worried expression, Eugese smiled roundly and said as if to be relieved.
Serpens’ expression softened slightly when he said that he would send the spirit of the wind without going in directly.
Suddenly, Winston became pitiful.
‘Didn’t you care so much when you sent Winston away?’
Discrimination based on the level of closeness is enormous.
To see a guy so biased and say that he loves everyone in the world equally.
It is the sound of the demon king falling down laughing in the demon realm.
“I see. If you find a place that has been magically treated during the investigation, please do not touch it and remember the location.”
At the top, whether he had decided to send Eugenes, Serpens delivered a warning to Eugenes.
If the guard magic was broken, it would inevitably be discovered that there was an intruder, so he was wary of that.
“Then shall I go with you?”
Edna came forward and said,
all.
If the guard magic is annoying, it means that it would be better for the magician himself to go with him.
“No. 匸 If there are demon worshipers there, I have to go there myself. For now, it is enough to specify where they are hiding. And I would like to entrust Mr. Benevolen with other work.”
“Anything else?”
“Yes. I would like you to meet the head of the orphanage. It is good to meet and talk about anything, so I would like to have a conversation.
all.”
“A conversation?”
It seems that the manager didn’t like it at all.
Edna’s eyes frowned when asked to talk to him.
“So… you mean to lure me out of the nursery?”
“No. I’m not going to have to look inside the nursery, so it’s hard to get out of here. I hope you don’t forget that their ultimate goal is not their children, but themselves.”
To interpret Serpence’s words,
It means that you don’t want to mess around with things because you’re kidnapped by the demons.
By adding warning words with a sad expression on it, he changed it to mean ‘I’m more worried about those who care about their children before their own well-being.’
“In the Empire, demons have already been summoned once. The conditions for summoning demons have been met, and there are… offerings…and vessels ready for it. Still, having nothing to do yet, obviously, has a different purpose. It means there is.”
As if it was difficult for him to speak in front of him, he took a breath in the middle and then continued.
Wait for a kite where the details are alive whenever you look at it.
“What is that, purpose, to get the horse out of him?”
“Yes, yes. Surely he must have something he wants from Mr. Benevolen.”
“Okay. I’ll give it a try.”
Edna nodded happily.
“And one more thing, take Zion there.
Get a job at… .”
“Eh?! Wait! Serpens, what do you mean all of a sudden?! I’m fired?!”
I quietly shut my mouth and listen to the operation explanation, but there is no lightning in the dry sky.
I was so startled that I even forgot that I shouldn’t speak now and asked him.
“You know better than anyone that it can’t be? Please calm down first.”
He said calmly, tapping my hand that was holding his neck.
“Why are my hands here? It’s amazing, isn’t it?”
“…if you realize it now, why don’t you let it go?”
After I let go of the guy’s collar, I rubbed it with the palm of my hand to unfold the folds in his clothes.
I tried to straighten it up and down, left and right, but I did not know how to straighten the wrinkled clothes because my hand was not an iron.
“It doesn’t matter if your clothes are wrinkled, so please focus on the story first.”
I’m thinking of spraying some water.
After all, he took a deep breath and took my hand and gently placed it on the table.
Edna looked at our behavior with a very bizarre gaze.
On the other hand, Eugenes maintained an attitude that seemed to say, ‘Mountain is mountain, water is water, and Zion is Zion.’
“Anyway, what if it’s not cut off?”
“It’s just undercover. I want you to know what kind of person the director is while playing with the children.
all.”
Isn’t serpens a perfect fit for your level?’
It seems like he was trying to sarcastic me, but it doesn’t matter if the Serpens, who are being cared for by me, look at me like that.
* * *
The headquarters of the upper part of Rossio was in the Perol Territory, adjacent to the Algor Territory, where the nursery was located.
Anyway, since the trains do not pass directly through the Algor region, we got off the train with Yujisu.
Eugenes headed to the top of Rossio, and Edna and I rented a wagon and headed to Perol. Serpens said he’d follow me secretly, so I’m sure he’ll be following along.
Just ride it together and get off near the nursery first. When I won the award, I thought of what to do and suffered.
“It’s not that easy to take care of children… are you okay?”
As I approached the orphanage, Edna asked me if I was worried.
How many times have I been to an orphanage with Serpence? I’m not worried about anything.
Compared to Serpens and Edna, I may be inferior to the orphanage service jjambab, but I am a child welfare student.
In terms of depth of professional knowledge, I am better.
“Serpence also volunteers at the orphanage regularly? Each time, I also went there, so you can hold on to those worries.”
“You’re doing a lot of really good work.”
“I’m actually kind of nice.”
“No, not Shion, but Mr. Prasidus.”
It’s me to have children ripped their heads off, and to become horses while crawling on the floor on all fours.
On a subject that can’t even tell a realistic storytelling, a serpent who only reads a book by trusting only her gentle voice is so great.
‘Serpense’s child would never understand the contents of a children’s book.’
I took a sneak peek, and there was no other way to read Korean books. It was just reading down the typeface.
He must be ignorant of the fun of reading children’s books.
I was trying to show off my realistic old interlocking skills in a frustrated heart and to show a demonstration. The children, fascinated by Serpense’s voice, refused to hand over the children’s book to me.
As I recalled that time, I burst into tears.
“I didn’t mean anything harsh, what are you crying about?”
Edna said softly.
Tears welled up in my eyes when I remembered her harsh horse parade I heard in the tower.
“Oh, I’m sure you’ll sleep in the nursery while you’re here, so don’t take out your bed even if it’s uncomfortable. Children feel a sense of separation.”
“I know that, too.”
Despite my answer, Edna still looks unsure.
How the hell is she looking at me?
The carriage, which was running in an uncomfortable atmosphere, stopped.
The nursery school belonging to the Order of the Prasidus Spirit was filled with the laughter of children chirping even if they went nearby.
“It’s quiet… it seems.”
Even when I got off the carriage, I couldn’t hear the children talking.
There was so much snow outside, and no one made a snowman or had a snowball fight.
No matter how often it snows in the Kingdom of Prune, it is nonetheless. It’s strange that there aren’t any snowmen in the yard
all.
‘Isn’t it? As Edna said, if children are being exploited… . Is this normal?’
The confusion has already set in.
“But the day I came, the children greeted me first…”
Edna couldn’t hide her complicated feelings and looked bitterly at the empty yard.
