    New Project (2)

    Jenny took Lennok and the man and headed straight to the conference room on the upper floor of the bar.

    She completely ignored the man standing there hesitantly and locked the door. As soon as she saw Lennok sitting down she turned her head.

    “This is the second project to start in this city in decades… Do you mind if I say that?”

    Jenny asked staring at the man with a slight smile.

    “If you have the confidence to bring up that story in front of me the information must be that solid.”

    To some extent Lennok could understand why Jenny said that.

    Black Consumer Project Kaise’s only granddaughter and the most direct cause of his death.

    There was no way the employee dispatched from the Secret Service Agency would not have known the significance of bringing up in front of Jenny and Lennok the fact that follow-up planning for that project was about to begin.

    “Our agency stores and manages materials from various projects that were abandoned decades ago.”

    “….”

    “Most employees including me do not even have permission to access the data let alone view it but since we are in charge of management we can know who is trying to access the files.”

    The employee also nodded with a slightly nervous expression.

    “And just a month ago there was an attempt to access discarded material that was thought to be a follow-up project to the Black Consumer Project.”

    “That alone is not enough.”

    Jenny frowned.

    “I can do as much as I want to hack the route from here. “It’s just difficult not to get caught.”

    “What if the IP address of the closed area remains among the detoured routes?”

    “….”

    The man said rubbing his temples with a tired expression.

    “Even if the route is bypassed the number of people who can use the IP in the closed area is limited. “This is impossible unless you have authority or a title comparable to that of a city council member.”

    Only then did Jenny realize what the man was talking about and her expression turned cold.

    “There are people at the highest levels of city government who want to restart new projects. “But you don’t want to reveal who you are?”

    “yes. In addition the area in question is Area 6 which is directly managed by our agency… It is a place where old documents and administrative records are stored.”

    “It’s District 6….”

    Lennok shook his head after hearing those words.

    Didn’t you once infiltrate District 6 with Aris to track their purpose and location when you were trying to stop the rebellion of the metropolitan defense force?

    It had already been nearly three months since I had dealt with National Guard Lieutenant General Trepen through the location of a classified facility that had been secretly moved from a closed area to an undeveloped area.

    “Considering that bypassing the IP address of a closed area cannot be a mistake or coincidence it is the same as sending a signal to the authorities not to interfere.”

    “The conclusion we reached is not much different.”

    The man turned his gaze towards Lennok.

    “It is true that we were looking for the right talent to solve the current situation.”

    “Do you think that’s half of it?”

    The man nodded to Jenny’s question.

    “Not only has his own skills been proven but he is one of the very few freelancers who covers both the shadowy and sunny areas…. He is even involved in the case that led to the lifting of the prohibition law.”

    “….”

    “It’s not just because of his skills he’s definitely someone who can reach out to a variety of areas in this job. Moreover since it is assumed that the crisis involving Dyke is an extension of this incident I believe that our purposes may coincide during the investigation process.”

    “…Jenny what does this mean?”

    A bold statement from a man who finally got to his point.

    However Lennok who heard an unheard of story between them turned his head.

    Lennok turned his head.

    “Did something happen on Dyke’s side?”

    “Sigh really… This is why I tried to take some time to explain.”

    Jenny sighed glanced at Lennok and opened her mouth as if she had no choice.

    “Recently there has been a series of terrorist attacks against Dyke of unknown origin. “More than half of the production network of underground military facilities built around Panoa was destroyed and several high-ranking officials including the current president were killed.”

    “…what?”

    Lennok opened his mouth slightly at the completely unexpected words.

    * * *

    Lennok sent the man away telling him he would get an answer later and then told Jenny what had happened while he was away.

    Dyke’s company which was steadily growing in power until he left the city was in crisis.

    The purpose was to discuss what it means to say that the agenda for a new project is intertwined with that series of processes.

    “After the ban was lifted things started to go strange.”

    Jenny said after taking a sip of her drink.

    “Instead of the conflict between the positive and negative regions that everyone thought an upheaval occurred in the positive region centered on the dinosaur company.”

    The end of the prohibition law that restricted the indiscriminate use of force by superhumans in exchange for privileges.

    Recognizing that the leash had been let go the first place where Yangji’s power headed was not toward Yumji but toward the same Yangji side’s sphere of influence.

    Did he think this was an opportunity to sort out the power structure that was so complicated that internal rivals had to be dealt with before external enemies?

    It goes without saying that clashes between superhumans who were involved in the armed response teams of various companies and organizations have become much more frequent than before.

    “Of course Dyke could not avoid this problem… but the problem is that it is difficult to identify the perpetrator of the terrorist attack even though the president has died. “Do you think it makes sense?”

    Jenny continued with a slightly stiff expression.

    “Considering that even in the shadows watching the situation there was talk that some shady forces were involved….”

    “That means it’s highly likely that it’s the city government’s high-ranking officials who are beating Dyke right now.”

    It wasn’t that difficult to guess what the cause was.

    Entering the underground military business which began with the plan of Panoa Bellucci head of the Management Planning Department.

    A weapons business that was taken over by subduing a large number of gangs including Siger Bang with the help of Lennok. This may be because those who were dissatisfied knowingly or unknowingly are taking action by borrowing the power of the city government.

    “What do you want to do?”

    Jenny asked.

    Lennok seemed to think for a moment and then spoke.

    “If high-ranking city government officials had intervened it wouldn’t be surprising if Dyke collapsed. “If it really involves a new project I think we need to look into it.”

    As Lennok learned that an entity called Alkaid was deeply involved in the Black Consumer Project he was aware that uncovering the city’s secrets was not a matter of choice.

    “However there is a high possibility that there will be no gain if you meet Dyke right away… Make an appointment for a meeting but you may need to find out information separately.”

    If Panoa’s ability was not enough to find out the identity of the opponent in an agenda that would result in the death of the president there is a high possibility that even if he stepped forward he would only attract attention without any benefit.

    In the current situation it was desirable to move in an area that Panoa could not reach and at a point where even she was not aware of it.

    “If high-level city government is involved an agent may not be of much help in this matter.”

    “It’s not brisket. “Who do you think is the most knowledgeable person on this street about what’s going on with the project?”

    As Lennok said that he took out his cell phone.

    [Cartel 1st President Virgil Bager.]

    “Even if we didn’t we needed to meet once. “I guess I’ll see your face a lot sooner than you think.”

    Lennok who found the contact information and immediately sent a message nodded.

    The message was sent to Virgil but it is someone else who is looking for it.

    I know his face and name but I doubt he even has a cell phone number.

    The chairman of the cartel and a magician who is believed to have reached the highest level.

    It was clear that Oliveira Ron Maze who participated in the Black Consumer Project would have more accurate insight into this matter than anyone else.

    * * *

    “Whoa….”

    Returned to the mansion after almost a month.

    After briefly cleaning the dusty house I turn my back on Dabi who has started jumping up and down in the toad house and prepare a meal.

    A meat-based diet to supplement nutrition and calories.

    Even though I know it won’t be easy to digest I chew it down.

    [Purring.]

    Against the background of Dabi’s cries of satisfaction Lennok holding a fork began to reflect on what he had learned since returning to the city.

    ‘I expected there would be a conflict but I never thought it would come out so violently as soon as the ban was lifted.’

    It is not surprising that this incident broke out the conflicts of interest and profit-and-loss calculations that could not be resolved through money and transactions alone.

    However I had no idea that Dyke who had expanded his reach into the military industry in the shadows based on his solid financial resources from the sunny side would be suffering so helplessly.

    Raising the level of construction of a new magic system and organizing the harvest obtained from the labyrinth.

    There is still a lot of work to be done but Lennok is not surprised or disappointed by the new problems that have arisen.

    When did you have leisurely time and leisure to study and maintain a triple identity?

    It felt awkward since I had just returned from the North Continent but it was natural for someone like Lennok who had limited time to spend time in a tight manner.

    ‘There are a lot of things I need to explain to Jenny…’

    Jenny seemed to have guessed that Lennok was involved in Jindun’s death but ultimately did not inquire about the details.

    Was it because he realized that Lennok didn’t want to talk right now?

    In that respect Jenny was a person who was more patient and knew better than anyone else Lennok knew.

    This is impossible without understanding the extent of the distance between her and Lennok.

    It was difficult to deny the fact that I had been helped by Jenny’s consideration.

    “…I guess I’ll have to tell you someday.”

    I know that I can’t continue to be a freelancer without any responsibilities.

    Even at this very moment forces and forces moving across the continent are changing the game.

    Moreover now that Lapis has declared her entry into the central front movements in the Philenom Autonomous Territory will become much more active.

    As the Blue Eye’s influence begins to reach the metropolis it is important to tell Jenny that Lennok has a positive relationship with the Watchers.

    As a partner who has been working for a long time and is running a business under a joint name this is something that cannot be hidden forever.

    A lot has changed since I first came to this city hid my identity and started working as a freelancer.

    Not only Lennok but also the people around him change with different minds and wills.

    I felt that there was a need to change my existing attitude in accordance with the changing time and place.

    I felt that there was a need to change my existing attitude in accordance with the changing time and place.

    Lennok who leisurely chewed the meal he had prepared in advance finished his meal wiped his mouth and spoke.

    “Dabi. Please order the items I am talking about from Auction. “Once we have the items needed to renovate the studio we will begin research as soon as possible.”

    [Carr ring.]

    “…You understand right?”

    [The order is complete Master.]

    Dabi said waving his abundant three-pronged tail.

    [But I got a call from a man named Virgil?]

    After immediately checking the message Lennok’s eyes calmly sank.

    “It’s a regular executive meeting….”

    Virgil’s answer is that it is unlikely that Oliveira will attend in person but that he should at least talk to the presidents.

    If I think about it I have never visited the cartel’s headquarters since taking office as an outside director.

    Lennok thought for a moment and then slowly nodded.

    “If you think about it it was time to show your face at least once.”

    I didn’t know that Virgil’s reply would arrive before Panoa who contacted me first but it doesn’t matter.

    Dyke’s Problem I had no intention of keeping the new project secret for long.

    * * *

    After spending the next full day sleeping and resting Lennok immediately went to see Sebastian.

    “I heard you came back. “This city went to shit while you were away.”

    A broker who specializes in dealing only with entrepreneurs and the wealthy. And he was the one who personally airlifted Lennok’s bike and gave it to him as a gift.

    Sebastian who skillfully moved the wine glass with telekinesis and placed it in Lennok’s hand tilted his head slightly.

    “You seem to be having more trouble moving than usual… Is there a problem?”

    “…It’s not a big deal. “I’ve had a lot of work to do lately.”

    After my tense tense body loosened up after a day of rest I felt like my condition had gotten worse.

    The short journey through the labyrinth the intense battles and the body that has been strained to its limit during the race require more rest.

    Although the medicine was suppressing the fatigue there was nothing I could do to stop my body from struggling due to various aftereffects.

    Sebastian who was looking at Lennok sipping wine shrugged his shoulders and handed over the payment documents.

    “As it was your request I placed a special order request with Autoble. 8 appearance change options. 3 types of separate engines. 10-stage thruster. “It’s alloy outer armor of the highest strength… You’re not planning on going to war are you?”

    “You don’t know what happens to people.”

    Sebastian shook his head at Lennok’s ambiguous answer.

    “After destroying something like that I came back and ordered a stronger bike… If it were me I would have just bought a new armored vehicle.”

    “How much?”

    “Here’s the receipt. “There are a lot of options so the price will be a bit higher.”

    “….”

    The price was enough to make even Lennok who had never been short of money since starting the business with Jenny look at the price tag again.

    Although it was a large sum of money that reminded him of his early days of poverty in the city Lennok signed with trembling hands.

    Considering how well the bike has been used so far this level of investment seems reasonable.

    Lennok was keenly aware that no matter how much he raised his level of magic mobility was not something he could easily obtain.

    Sebastian who was watching the signature carefully patted his stomach with a satisfied expression.

    “Thank you for your purchase sir. With this my relationship with President Autable will become even stronger. “I’ll have to get a drink from that friend sometime soon.”

    “….”

    As Lennoc turned around clutching his sore stomach he spoke as if he remembered Sebastian behind him.

    “Now that I think about it Madam said there was something she had entrusted to you. “If you have time it would be a good idea to visit at least once.”

    “Madam?”

    Are you talking about a broker who was a vampire?

    I remember meeting him once a long time ago.

    It seemed like she still remembered how she had handed Lennok an invitation and told him to come visit her.

    “Madame has lived a long time among vampires and knows a lot. “If it’s a chronic fatigue or physical condition problem she might be able to help.”

    Sebastian’s words while clinking his wine glass and muttering.

    This is a proposal that cannot be made without paying attention to Lennok’s apparent mobility difficulties.

    Lennok chuckled at the consideration he felt whether he knew it or not.

    “Thank you for the advice.”

    “That’s enough. Let’s leave this matter as a debt. “Do you know how many of my acquaintances would like to entrust nomination requests to you?”

    Lennok left his office leaving Sebastian who was starting to talk longer.

    Time is running out until the next appointment.

    Since I didn’t have a bike I had to hurry to get to the meeting place.

    Lennok stopped a taxi passing by in a nearby lane and got in.

    Tell the driver behind the wheel your destination and set off.

    “I… customer.”

    The taxi driver who was looking at Lennok in the rearview mirror as he leaned against him with the intention of catching his eyes for a moment before arriving at the meeting place opened his mouth.

    “Have you arrived?”

    “no. “I think I’ll have to go back a bit further because that road is blocked.”

    “…The road is blocked?”

    I can’t see this taxi or any other vehicle through the window.

    Where can a driver say that the road is blocked when he sees an empty road in front of him?

    However despite Lennok’s rebuttal the taxi driver pointed to the sign in front of him and said

    “Do you see that? Indication of collision-prone areas. “It’s like a sign that superhumans are running rampant around here.”

    “….”

    “If you are lucky nothing may happen but if you are unfortunate you may get swept up in it and suffer damage.”

    “hmm….”

    Even Sebastian’s office in District 42 is exposed to this risk?

    If even this relatively busy street even among the outskirts is suffering from this kind of danger it’s hard to imagine how much chaos is going on elsewhere.

    “It can’t be helped. “You can go back.”

    The moment when Lennok reluctantly nodded and the taxi driver’s face softened at the thought of meeting a very patient customer.

    Suddenly something heavy fell from the sky and landed right in front of the taxi.

    Kuaaaa!!

    “Hehehe!!!”

    The driver let go of the steering wheel and crouched letting out a terrified scream.

    However Lennok who had already recognized the appearance through magic detection spoke without changing his expression.

    “junior.”

    “yes yes?!”

    “Turn the gear. “If this continues I will die.”

    As soon as he finished saying those words something that fell right in front of the taxi started to stir and he leaned back.

    The taxi driver screamed and stepped on the accelerator backwards as hard as he could.

    “Aaaah!!!!”

    Something that narrowly missed the driver’s seat hit the bonnet of the taxi and crunched.

    Ujijijijik!!

    The appearance of the taxi floating halfway forward due to the impact.

    Lennok looked at the unconscious driver foaming at the mouth then sighed and opened the car door.

    Lennok said as he dragged the driver out with a magician and roughly laid him down on the porch of a nearby building.

    “Dabi. “Call me and tell me you’ll be a little late.”

    [It’s annoying just to look at it but wouldn’t it be better to just ignore it?]

    “I have no intention of getting involved in anything on this street but…”

    Slowly raise your magic power.

    “He is someone who could be of help. “It would be better to save him.”

    A woman confronts a beast with an impressive huge tail.

    He was dressed in a suit with his glasses pushed up with an embarrassed expression. The scales and eye emblem can be seen on her left chest.

    Belonging to a cartel. That was also proof that he was a fairly high-ranking official.
