Drug-Eating Genius Mage – 41



“Nice to meet you. My name is Nicole Keller from the Plato Office. “This is Maoren.”

After introducing herself in just two sentences she shook hands with Panoa and sat down.

Panoa also naturally had his secretary bring out a drink.

After a moment of silence Nicole spoke first.

“We both know everything so I’ll just get to the point.”

“What do you mean?”

Despite Panoa’s sly question Nicole continued what she was saying.

“Plato Mercenary Office has decided to stop all transactions with Cigar Bang at the end of this quarter. At the same time we plan to withdraw from all weapons distribution that has been ongoing and cease collaboration with Scavenger.”

“……”

Despite Nicole’s unconventional words Panoa’s expression is quite calm.

Actually it might be because what she said wasn’t that surprising. Lennok also understood.

If Plato’s office which had been distributing weapons in cooperation with Siger Bang suddenly visited Dyke Corporation wouldn’t the business have been clearly decided?

What is important is what comes next.

“I don’t think you came to our headquarters just to say that.”

“you’re right.”

Nicole obediently agreed.

“We have a list of retailers who have collaborated with us in the distribution process. “If Dyke Corporation is really thinking of starting a new business in the 40th district this will be of considerable help.”

“You want a deal.”

The decision was made in an instant.

From Panoa’s point of view it would not be a bad business if they could do the work they are currently doing more comfortably and as a Plato office they could clearly decide on their stance and at the same time hand over the list and make a small profit.

No one cared about how the personal information of hundreds of people passing through the process would be used.

After exchanging a small amount of cash and a few things in kind Panoa slowly stood up from his seat.

“I will give the list to the employees participating in the project. “It may be inconvenient but please wait a moment.”

“……”

She left the office immediately without waiting for Lennok’s answer.

As soon as Panoa disappeared Maoren leaned forward slightly and opened his mouth.

“It’s been a while wizard. “Do you remember who I am?”

“I never forget a face once I’ve seen it.”

Lennok responded harshly.

“Until I kill him myself.”

“…I had no idea that the wizard would have a hand in this matter. “After hearing that Beck Clinton was struck by lightning and died the name of a lightning wizard who has recently become famous came to mind.”

Even with the bloody answer the smile on Maoren’s lips did not waver.

The anger that filled his eyes when he first saw him is nowhere to be seen.

Lennok wondered if ironically that was Maoren’s greatest strength.

Nicole who was watching the conversation between the two suddenly opened her mouth.

“Do you know why we came here in person today to talk about this?”

“What do you mean?”

“I won’t say anything back. “I would like to invite Mr. Ban to our office.”

It was only then that Lennok realized why they had bothered to come and talk to Dyke Corporation in person.

“To be honest weapons-related business is not of great interest to our office. “Due to the sponsor’s guidelines I had no choice but to just keep one hand in hand and now that I knew there was no hope it was time to take a step back.”

“Be a sponsor.”

“Dike is not the only company interested in interests in outside areas. “Isn’t that natural?”

Nicole said that and sipped her tea calmly.

“……”

Plato Mercenary Office.

I heard there were a lot of rumors that the company was behind the scenes as it grew rapidly with abnormal financial resources compared to the size of the business but I never thought they would expose the secret to Lennok so blatantly.

It seemed like Nicole had also come here with a purpose.

“I don’t wonder why the wizard came to this floor. I want the wizard’s talent. “That’s it.”

“It’s not a topic worth talking about here and now.”

“If Panoa is not an idiot he would have a rough idea of ​​why we came this far. “It’s not a problem to worry about.”

“……..”

Direct and bold personality.

Are you a person who spits out whatever he says without hesitation? However he is the type that can take such a sensitive topic and put it on the trading table without any hesitation.

Being polite to people like this is almost a waste of time.

Lennok said angrily crossing his legs and leaning back.

“Shall I tell you my honest feelings?”

“…….”

“What you just said has been painful to my ears since I started working on the floor. “It’s kind of boring now.”

Nicole remained silent in response to Lennok’s harsh response.

On the surface there doesn’t seem to be much difference between freelancers and mercenaries but there is actually a big difference in whether they belong to an office or not.

There is bound to be a difference between the organizational life of working with a boss called an office manager and the relationship of a freelancer working alone with only an intermediary called a broker starting from the way they receive requests.

Of course if you enter the mercenary office it will be much easier for freelancers to receive group requests that would be difficult to receive on their own… but to put it bluntly that wasn’t a big problem for Lennok.

“If it’s just a one-off request joining that office doesn’t sound attractive at all. Or is it possible for them to hand me something like this for every request?”

When I showed him the Fryais ring on my hand I felt Maoren next to me gasp slightly.

There is no room to doubt its value as it protected Lennok’s body several times during the battle with Beck Clinton.

“All right.”

Nicole who was lost in thought after hearing Lennok’s words nodded.

“We underestimated the value of the class wizard. I didn’t know that you were already receiving such artifacts as compensation. I thought I could recruit a skilled magician at a low price…”

“No sister. There’s no need to be so honest…”

“You wouldn’t know it if you saw it? It’s better to be honest with someone like this. Rather than clumsily trying to deceive.”

Maoren looked like he wanted to say something more but he quietly shut his mouth under Nicole’s sharp gaze.

It seems that Maoren’s intentions were involved to a large extent in the Plato office’s attempt to recruit Lennok.

When we met back then I thought he was just acting perfectly on the outside but surprisingly he actually had a crush on Lennok’s abilities.

Before Lennok could finish his thoughts he grabbed the handbag Nicole had brought with him and stood up without hesitation.

“I will leave for today. “This won’t necessarily be the only opportunity.”

Anyway everything I had to say with Panoa is over. In many ways he is a person who is in a hurry to act.

As if remembering her as she was about to leave the office with Maoren hesitatingly getting up he turned his head and added.

“Oh I should tell you one more thing.”

“what?”

“I don’t know what the wizard may think of what you are doing but the actions Dyke Corporation is currently taking are not that smart.”

“……”

“I can’t say that the choice to jump into the game first is wrong in this time of confusion due to the agreement with the Dominion but a leader always takes on a considerable amount of risk.”

Nicole smiled eerily as she said that.

“No one knows whether they will end up in the position that Dyke has created.”

“You’re stating the obvious.”

But Lennok responded calmly as if there was no need to worry.

“I know what you want to say but aren’t you making it seem like something too obvious?”

“……..”

Nicole smiled meaningfully opened the door and disappeared. Lennok quietly sipped the remaining coffee as he stared at the closed office door.

I can roughly guess what she intended when she said that.

Perhaps they were planning to shake him in one way or another and get his reaction.

However apart from being disappointed with Dyck’s handling of the business Lennok did not think that they were such a brainless or incompetent organization.

In any case in this city full of fierce competition it is a huge corporation that has trampled on other competitors and proudly established itself in the inner part of the city.

The act of expanding into the 40s area itself was quite clumsy but the act of expanding the business base itself must be familiar to those who have continued to increase in size since the company was founded.

At least until the end of this project it was right to believe and move forward.

Lennok also stood up as he saw Panoa coming through the door.

She wouldn’t have called Lennok just for a meeting with Plato’s mercenary office.

Since I received Enakpil’s artifact today I knew that I would have to deal with some troublesome work.

preview

“This is Ban an external advisor newly hired by the headquarters’ planning team. “I hope everyone welcomes us with warm applause!”

Wow!!

As soon as the nameless host finished speaking enthusiastic cheers rang out.

“……”

The edge of an auditorium filled with hundreds of people.

Lennok standing in front of a small podium picked up the microphone and was lost in thought.

Although I had received confirmation from Panoa about the compensation for this incident my mind was confused as I went up to the podium without proper preparation.

The moderator continues.

“Ban an external advisor has established a deep relationship with our headquarters by proving his outstanding magic skills and excellent work ability. I believe this will be a good example for the Labatenon University students who participated in today’s field trip to our headquarters and I would like to conclude today’s field trip with a brief word of encouragement. “Please welcome everyone with applause!”

It may be obvious but the response is very enthusiastic.

This is a familiar word to Lennok as it is Labatenon University. Wasn’t this the school where a professor he knew worked?

It would be difficult to see a wizard working in a company so this reaction was somewhat understandable.

After Lennok heard the applause he sighed and turned on the microphone.

The wizard’s talent made Lennok calm even in this completely unexpected situation.

He appropriately adapts the lessons about academics he heard on Earth and concludes quickly with appropriate words of encouragement.

“…I hope you realize that talented wizards like you are needed in every corner of society. thank you.”

I come down to the back of the auditorium while hearing applause that is much louder than before.

Perhaps because he came down with the wireless microphone the other employees waiting next to him were startled and politely accepted the microphone from Lennok.

Other employees are now guessing how Lennok is being treated at this company.

The head of the head office’s planning team treats him with special care and is an honored guest who appears in person at all kinds of events.

Rumors were also widespread that he was a key researcher participating in an important project within the company.

As he handed the microphone over to the employee Lennok turned his head to look at Panoa.

Behind the thick curtain she and a handsome middle-aged man were walking together.

Lennok looked at her blankly and then opened his mouth.

“Although I received confirmation in advance I will definitely need to pay an allowance for this work.”

As she was about to answer a man came forward on her behalf and extended his hand toward Lennok.

“I’m sorry about this. “I was wondering how to conclude the in-house field trip held at the headquarters and ended up borrowing the wizard’s help.”

The man smiled faintly and continued.

“This is Dustin Gudeman. “It may be small but I am taking charge of the management of the company.”

“…Half.”

Does this mean that this man with a lively face is the president of a huge company called Dyke?

Lennok accepted the handshake reluctantly but still intended to say something.

“I didn’t want to ruin my position so I did it for now but I will definitely have to be paid for the work I did.”

The only way to show that you are upset and break the ice on the spot is to shake hands.

Especially considering that he still has work to do with Dyke.

However given Lennok’s personality it was unacceptable for him to pass over this situation without saying anything.

“I know.”

Dustin said smiling brightly.

“Is the number of times we can work together with the class wizard three times?”

“……”

“Let’s consider your presence here today as just one request. That’s why today’s field trip to Labatenon University was an important event for me.”

When Dustin said this Lennok had no choice but to quietly listen to his story.

If that’s what he intended Dustin has the makings of a great negotiator.

Getting the other person to be willing to listen to what they have to say even at the cost of some of their own benefit was not something that was possible with just effort.

In any case there is no reason not to accept it since I am giving you one contract on the premise of completing five requests.

Lennok shrugged his shoulders and responded.

“If you come out like that I have nothing to say. “Would you mind going out of the auditorium again and answering questions from the students over there?”

“As expected a skilled wizard has a keen eye. “Exactly.”

“……..”

I feel like I’m being caught up somehow.

Even though Lennok thought so he had no choice but to come out of the auditorium again.

President Dustin had asked if he could directly demonstrate in front of the students how great the wizards employed by the company were.

“I listened to the speech earlier.”

Against a professor who had been leading them directly.

“It’s really impressive that you trained magic in such a difficult environment. “I am also a teacher but I think I am so focused on my research that I do not pay attention to the students who need learning.”

Familiar blonde hair and blue eyes.

A calm yet friendly tone of voice.

A woman Lennok knew well with a calm expression that matched her cool voice was standing there waiting for him.

“……”

“Is there something wrong?”

“……no. “I was thinking about something else for a moment.”

Aris bit her lip as if her pride was slightly hurt by the excuse she had picked up so casually.

“Well I understand that you must be confident in your skills if you are hired by a large company like Dyke. But I also won’t show myself embarrassed in front of my students.”

Aris spoke as if her skills were lacking but Lennok did not feel like laughing even after hearing Aris’ words.

It’s not that Lennok wasn’t confident that he could win in a head-on fight with her even now.

This could be seen just by looking at the magic that Aris often used when teaching Lennok in the library.

Horsepower amount control ability sensitivity and rotation speed. Nothing is missing including a deep understanding of magic theory.

Regardless of the issue of status Aris Richellen was completed as a magician in the first place.

If they were really serious about taking each other’s lives and raising their magic power Lennok would have to do his best.

‘I said it was a demonstration….’

Wouldn’t it be okay to show some moderately flashy magic?

In the first place I am not sure what level of wizards the university students gathered here are and Lennok has no idea what level the demonstration is at.

You just need to adjust it appropriately so that no one gets hurt.

Lennok glanced at the students who were looking at the two people and immediately raised his magic power.

[Lightning Cracker]

Burbububbang!!

When I clenched my fist and then spread my hand wide small particles of light created inside my hand spread into the air.

After a brief time lag the sparkling particles exploded in an instant scattering bright blue fireworks of lightning in the air.

Compared to the strong visual effect the power is not great and it is a magic that allows Lennok to limit the range by directly controlling the amount of magic power.

I haven’t used it before because it’s not very practical but it seemed like it would be perfect for the current situation.

Until Aris saw Lennok’s first move and responded with much higher level magic.

[Appendix]

Suddenly a blue-green magic circle spreads in the air and dozens of water droplets protrude from the inside instantly swallowing up the particles that Lennok spread.

The particles that had not burst yet were eaten up by the water droplets and disappeared and the electric current that had already exploded and fell toward Aris was caught and sent into the air.

“……..”

Lennok’s eyebrows twitched as he realized that the magic he first used was completely suppressed.

Come to think of it it was my first time showing magic face-to-face with a wizard of as high a level as her.

Although he is receiving instruction from her in the library he is not in a position to use magic.

But if you have half a face it’s a different story.

Lennok wanted to see more of the unique magic she used.

This was because there was a sense of something inside Lennok just by looking at the sophisticated movement of magical power.

‘Let’s try a little more.’

There is no harm in letting go of your curiosity here.

Dyke officials rather than watching from down there probably don’t want it to end here.

After making his decision Lennok immediately raised his magic power once more.

It is difficult to show off noticeable magic without causing significant damage to those around you.

In the first place the magic and tactics he used were specialized in turning the entire game over and swaying the battlefield as he wanted.

However there is nothing you can’t do if you put your mind to it.

I put my left hand filled with magical power as if I was rubbing it in the air.

container!

[Aerosol Jet]

A huge wave appeared in the air like ripples in a quiet pond and soon a huge lump of air was shot towards Aris.

A strong wind blew blowing the hair of other people sitting in the auditorium.

Aris responded again.

[Gyeolgong (結功)]

Damn it…!!!

The moment the magic circle thrown by Aris touches the airflow that was rapidly expanding in the air it rapidly contracts and returns to its original state.

The spray lumps that were ejected by distorting the air flow were stabilized in the opposite way and eliminated.

It’s freezing magic… The attribute chosen in that situation was an attribute but even more than that I was more interested in the magic that Aris used.

A unique magic that you encounter for the first time. As I saw and faced the reality in person I began to feel a tickling sensation in my heart.

If we look a little more if we hang out together a little more.

‘Do you think you could follow along?’

He picked up the bottle of water that had been left on the podium to quench his thirst and sprinkled it on the floor draining his magic power.

[Frost Control]

Hwaaaaa!!

The water sprinkled on the floor freezes in the blink of an eye and a large ice horn pops out from the floor aiming at Aris.

[Fireball]

Aris also dropped three fireballs with a calm expression instantly melting the ice block created by Lennok.

On the surface there is an attack and defense taking advantage of the blind spot of the attribute but both Lennok and Aris know this.

It is not ice that is easily created so that it melts with ordinary heat and it does not have the firepower to just melt the ice and disappear.

As if they had promised the two people’s eyes turned to the melting water on the floor again and at almost the same time two branches of magic rained down once more.

Go go go go!!

Two ice paths rising from a single water hole intertwine and fiercely aim for the head.

‘Did I say it was a failure? It’s definitely like this…’

The movement of magical energy that he had encountered only briefly was naturally pictured in Lennok’s mind and at the same time the magical energy began to move along.

At first Lennok’s cold energy which was helplessly pushed away gradually caught up with Aris’s momentum and grew in size to the point where it could eat the opponent.

“…….!!”

Aris who raised her eyebrows at the fierce force instantly turned colder.

The cold air entangled in a double spiral freezes all moisture in the air and sucks it in from the tips of the roots greedily consuming each other.

Blah blah blah….!!!

Coo!

The cold energy of both sides which had been spinning and rotating frantically in all directions finally reached the ceiling and created a huge pillar of ice and only then did the two people reap their magical power as if they had promised.

“……..”

Lennok who saw the cold frosty tree blooming in front of the auditorium put down the bottle of water he was holding.

Other people who were staring blankly at the unrealistic scene came to their senses and started clapping like crazy.

Wow!!

invite

‘This is what it feels like… I think I get the idea.’

Lennok thought as he slowly clenched and unclenched his fist.

It’s as if he doesn’t want to let go of the feeling once he has it in his hand.

Up to this point he had fought with other wizards a few times but to be honest the magic they used was not at a level that caught Lennok’s attention.

Or maybe Lennok was at a level where he could imitate something similar using common magic.

However the magic Aris uses is different.

A high-level unique magic that does not contain only one attribute but encompasses the entire series of elements.

There is something you can realize just by looking at the flow of magical energy.

It was close to the realm of stark practical practice that could never be realized by simply studying and learning theory.

‘I divide the flow of magical power into four branches and use several branches by weaving them together whenever necessary. Is this a method of controlling multiple properties at once by inducing property changes?

Although it is not an efficient method for Lennok who uses various series from the start to use magic differently from the start and combine it only when using magic it was worth studying.

‘I think I could try imitating it right away if I had the skill level but…’

If you do something like that here Aris won’t leave Lennok alone.

While Lennok was lost in thought Aris who had adjusted his disheveled shirt walked towards him.

“Hmm.”

Do you think you got excited without even realizing it?

Aris cleared her throat with an embarrassed expression and held out her hand.

“Thank you for your cooperation in demonstrating for our students.”

“…It’s nothing special.”

“It really is a skill worthy of being brought directly from Dyke. In particular I was a little surprised by the ability to control magical power at the end. That kind of control is a precision that can never be achieved without someone’s guidance…”

I recently received something similar from someone’s library.

“If you don’t mind being rude may I know which school you belong to?”

“You probably wouldn’t know even if I told you.”

Lennok answered skillfully without even putting saliva on his lips.

“I wasn’t famous and didn’t have much interaction with the outside world so I wasn’t able to make a name for myself.”

“okay.”

Aris seemed to have sensed Lennok’s intention of not wanting to answer and after saying that he said nothing more.

Lennok was lost in thought as he looked down at Aris’ elegant appearance.

Although it was only for a moment it was close to an unconscious analysis of the opponent with whom he was competing for magical power.

Precise magic control ability and calmness that does not falter even when facing harsh magic right in front of you.

Yongtongseong pays close attention to the terrain and responds to it at a similar level to Lennok.

And even the unique magic of the element series that can be used stably and diversely.

‘It’s flawless.’

After a moment of deliberation that was Lennok’s conclusion.

Among all the wizards Lennok had seen Aris Richellen was clearly the strongest excluding the Ascendant.

She must have been the same in controlling the aftermath by considering her surroundings.

If you were to express her skill level in terms of level what would it be? Only after directly testing the magic power did Lennoc feel like he could get some idea of ​​its capabilities.

‘No matter how low you put it it’s probably level 5 or higher. ‘It’s not easy to be a university professor.’

While Lennok was lost in thought Aris seemed to have something left to say.

She asked with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“May I know what kind of cigarette you smoke?”

It was a strange question.

“Why is that…?”

“No that…”

She trailed off as if she was having trouble answering.

“I thought it was similar to someone I know. “It must be an illusion.”

“……..”

Lennok was speechless.

Regardless of the fact that the answer was so confusing I felt like I knew who she was talking about.

Meanwhile Manya who was on top of the auditorium quickly approached Lennok and whispered.

“Mr. Ban. I think you can finish here and then come down. We will finish the rest of the schedule well. “The boss is waiting.”

Lennok nodded as if he had been waiting.

“okay. “Go down.”

While giving a vague answer I give Aris a quick greeting.

She gave up nodded and turned her back as if there was nothing she could do.

A short but intense encounter. But what she asked in the end was a completely different question than Lennok expected.

Could it be that the promise at the library holds more weight in her mind than she thought?

It was something unknown now.

Lennok gathered his thoughts and turned his head towards the two people waiting for him downstairs.

I was barely aware of it. The fact that Dustin wouldn’t have asked Lennok to do something like this just because he lacked a useful wizard.

Especially considering the confrontation with a skilled wizard like Aris Richellen it would be correct to believe that there was a purpose other than simply Dustin’s own satisfaction.

For example the company officials who are watching this from somewhere right now… The skills that Lennok just showed will have a very big impact on those people.

The expectations were not wrong.

Dustin brought him into the spacious office that took up an entire floor and sat down. As soon as he sat down he slightly lowered his head.

“I’m sorry about earlier. “It was difficult to ask for understanding because of the limited space.”

“Are you the board members?”

Dustin shrugged his shoulders as if surprised by Lennok’s answer.

“… Panoa is not wrong in saying that he is an outstanding person. Yes the board of directors gathered together for the first time in a long time thanks to the working field trip to Labatenon University. “I really needed to show them what I had.”

Lennok shook his head when Dustin added “I apologize for not telling you in advance because it was a hastily prepared schedule.”

“It will be enough if you keep your promise to reduce the number of requests by this.”

“I definitely guarantee that. “I will also deposit the success fee equivalent to what you have done so far into your account.”

Dustin glanced at Panoa and she immediately nodded.

“So did you find this helpful? “It was a bit difficult dealing with the professor who guided the students at that university but I hope it was worth it.”

When Lennok showed a hint of condescension Dustin nodded as if he had been waiting.

“of course. “You don’t know who Aris Richelen is?”

“…Except for being a skilled wizard.”

“He is a talented representative of the Sinclair Magic Tower and is one of the geniuses who rose to the position of level 6 military wizard at a young age. “His intentions are so stubborn that he focuses on nurturing younger students but it would not be strange for him to have been called to the Magic Tower long ago and take up a position.”

I thought he was an excellent wizard but was he really a skill that reached level 6?

“He may not be that famous to those who don’t know magic but he is a famous figure known to everyone who knows him including his appearance. In any case it means a lot to show a seemingly equal performance against such a wizard.”

Dustin smiled proudly.

“Not only will it have a significant impact on shareholders but if done well it could even lead to internal strife in the board of directors. “You did a good job so the rest is up to us.”

“Rather than that I would like you to focus on future projects. “All of this would be useless if it couldn’t be resolved in the 40th District.”

Panoa’s face who was standing next to him stiffened for a moment at the sharp words but Dustin just laughed and brushed it off.

“That’s a sharp point. But it’s not wrong. “I’ll be honest and admit that I started off a bit underestimating the outer zone.”

“……”

“However it was definitely my fault for not preparing the manpower to match the plan not Panoa’s mistake. I wish you knew that much. “I don’t want your trust and her trust in this matter to diminish because of my personnel mistakes.”

Dustin said that and gave Panoa a look and she quietly lowered her head.

“She really takes care of everything that goes into this project. Removing part of the arms business already established in the 40th district and moving into that space means that we have to appease some of the political figures who were funding it. “At the same time I was so focused on collaborating with other companies that I was currently maintaining that I lost sight of what was really important.”

‘That’s a long story.’

Is there anyone in the world without mercy?

To put it bluntly Lennok had no interest in how difficult Dustin and Panoa were going through.

Or was Dustin thinking that a wizard with no knowledge of the world would sympathize with their situation?

The first to notice that Lennok’s gaze was gradually becoming colder was not Dustin who was in the midst of talking but Panoa who was watching his expression.

She pretended to look at the watch she was unconsciously adjusting and immediately whispered to Dustin.

“Boss it looks like it’s almost time for the promised meeting with the board of directors. “I’m just waking up here…”

“….Oh has it already been so long? “I said too much.”

As Dustin said that he stopped talking and suddenly stood up.

He picked up the clothes hanging on the arm of the chair and very naturally gave Lennok a quick glance.

“No matter what I will make sure you compensate for what happened today. Thank you for your time. But I meant everything I said. “I just want you to know that.”

Lennok quietly watched Dustin leave the office leaving Panoa alone.

“……”

Panoa who saw Lennok like that spoke as if making an excuse.

“The boss didn’t say that to make an excuse for the first operation. However if you realize that this happens because the perspectives of those who focus on in-house work are different from those of practitioners…”

“It brings tears to my eyes.”

“…….yes?”

“Let’s go back now.”

Interesting.

Rather than the meaningless excuses that Dustin and Panoa make it is a strangely strong relationship of trust between the two.

Dustin obviously didn’t notice where Lennok felt annoyed until the moment he stood up.

However as soon as he heard Panoa’s words he realized that the conversation was wrong and immediately left.

Although he is the president of a group the fact that he can completely accept the opinions of the planning team leader in an instant is not because Dustin lacks ability but because he trusts Panoa more than that.

And it might also have something to do with the watch she wears whenever she feels emotionally stressed.

Lennok did not forget that fact and kept it in mind as he stood up.

There is a high possibility that the personal relationship of trust between these two people will be helpful when we have to split up with Dyke someday.

Panoa looked at Lennok who was strangely obediently retreating and gave him a suspicious look but he quietly lowered his head probably thinking that a good thing was a good thing.

“….We will complete our schedule within three days and begin the third operation. “I’ll have to make sure to cut off Siger Bang’s hands and feet while he’s not coming to his senses.”

“Now that Plato has turned away there is only one place left.”

“yes.”

Panoa nodded.
