One dark night.
In a dimly lit room.
"I don't remember letting you in."
A cold voice sounded in the middle of the room.
"Don't be nervous~, aren't we partners?"
"I'll give you three seconds, three, two..."
"Okay, okay, I came here to tell you... the time has come. We can act now."
“… …”
"finally--"
"Is it time yet?"
A figure in the middle of the room slowly stood up.
"After waiting for so many years, the time for revenge has finally come!"
"Leongnas!!! This time! I will take back everything I lost--!"
roar--!
The terrifying roar immediately created a storm in the room, blowing the furnishings inside into a mess.
Snap, clack~!
The clothes of other people in the room were rustling in the wind.
"I'm glad you're so confident, but... Sargas Redman, please don't forget our agreement."
"ah... ..."
Sargas lowered his head and looked at the man opposite him. In the dim light, his eyes emitted a creepy red light.
"Don't worry, Great Demon, I won't break the contract. But you, can you really do it?"
"Us? Hehe... Hehehe~! You can question our credibility, but you'd better not question our strength—"
"because... ..."
The mysterious man opposite also raised his head, with a dark hood on his head. His face was completely covered in shadow, and no details could be seen.
"We are the 'Great Demon'!"
... ...
Bang——!
A wine glass fell heavily to the ground with a loud noise.
All of a sudden, everyone in the tavern looked over.
"What are you looking at? Are you looking for death?!"
Rajas yelled to the surroundings.
All of a sudden, everyone else in the tavern looked away.
"...Okay, Rajas, stop losing your temper."
At this table, James and Oddur were also sitting with gloomy faces.
"Humph! I don't lose my temper? How can I not be angry? And you, James, why did you just take us away!"
Rajas pointed the finger at Jaim.
James looked up and looked at him indifferently.
"Just be quiet for a moment. Do you want our affairs to be known to everyone?"
"snort... ..."
Rajas snorted coldly, picked up the wine glass and took a big gulp, then put the glass down heavily.
James retracted his gaze and said in a low voice: "I investigated yesterday..."
This sentence immediately attracted the attention of Oddo and Rajas, and they both looked over.
"That little brat suddenly appeared in Hatulu a few days ago. Her origins are unknown, at least no one had ever seen her before. But as soon as she arrived in Hatulu, she headed straight for the royal city. And according to the information I bought, she later went to the audience room to meet King Bars."
"you mean... ..."
Odo seemed to understand something, but Rajas still didn't understand what James meant.
"What exactly do you want to say? Why are you talking about this and that? Can you please just say it clearly?"
"What I meant was that this person was a master secretly hired by King Bars. She came to us on her own initiative because she received instructions from Bars. That's why I immediately took you away at that time."
"Why? She's the expert Bars is looking for, why do we have to leave?"
Rajas was still puzzled.
"Because Bars is likely to be suspicious of us."
Oddo explained.
"That's right!" James nodded. "In the square, she warned me personally that we were doing something we shouldn't have done... which meant our purpose was likely exposed, so I chose to leave immediately."
“… …”
Oddur and Rajas looked at each other.
"Is this...exposed? That shouldn't be the case. They shouldn't have any evidence."
"They certainly don't have conclusive evidence yet, otherwise they wouldn't let us go. But...does this kind of thing require evidence?"
James asked back.
"Sometimes, just one reason to doubt is enough. No..."
James's face suddenly became serious.
"We can't stay in this city any longer. We must leave quickly. If we're too late, something bad might happen!"
Rajas looked unhappy and said in a muffled voice:
"Just leaving like this? What about the rewards those people promised us? If we just leave like this, won't all our work be in vain?"
"Whether life is more important or money is more important, you choose one."
James said calmly, then stood up.
"Let's go. We may not be unable to get our reward. This matter isn't just about the three of us. Let's go find those people. Maybe there's a chance for a turnaround."
After saying that, he walked straight out of the tavern, and Oddo quickly got up and followed him.
Rajas looked at the backs of the two men, hesitating as he sat there. After a few seconds, he slammed the table.
"Asshole... How could I have encountered such a horrible thing?!"
He picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in it in one gulp, then threw the empty glass to the ground, stood up, and chased after James and the others.
