Chapter 15 – Family Members Have Affection – 3

Both Alice and the sea turtle obeyed my orders well.

My camouflage fiancée in a bunny girl hauled bricks with her bare feet, and a sea turtle took care of the workers’ breaks as I requested.

Me? I watched it silently.

To see criminals sweating hard and working diligently.

If Elfride were to see this sight in person, she would surely vomit.

While barely wiping away the dirt and sweat with a soft towel, Elise, who had entered her break, quietly spoke to me.

“Looks like you’re free.”

“What?”

“It’s nothing.”

Silence flowing for a while. Elise suddenly stared at her wall, so I did too.

There was a bounty badge on the wall. Tear it apart and examine it

“Surprisingly, Ellis, your face isn’t drawn. It’s a bounty badge.”

“I’m not that bad.”

“What?”

“…It’s nothing.”

Anyway, we started looking at the bounty badge again.

It’s a little different from the bounty badges I saw in the shadow days. Looking at it now, it was more like a request rather than a bounty badge.

The target to be killed is not a human, but a monster. In addition, the specified list of monsters included skeletons and slimes, so the difficulty wasn’t that high.

Of course, when I say that the difficulty is not high, I mean the average male who handles magic.

“The bounty is pretty good. If it’s a slime or skeleton, it shouldn’t be difficult to kill.”

“I guess so. These bounties are not really wanted bounties.”

“Then?”

“The imperial family encourages unemployed people to go out and do something. It’s good because unemployed people can move and do something, and the imperial family is good because they can get rid of unemployed people.”

I was thinking hard.

“When I looked around the territory, I heard that even the people of the territory who are not addicted to drugs are not doing anything.”

“That’s natural, right? The area where slimes and skeletons appear is at the end of the territory.”

“However.”

“There seems to be a group that monopolizes this bounty badge. He monopolizes the bounty, and when he sees Young Ji-min, he kidnaps him and uses the settlement money to make money again.”

I was in awe too. Hey, what kind of guys are they to roll their heads like that?

“What are they doing?”

“Of course it would be Wonderland. At least it is.”

“In Wonderland, you don’t touch such trifles.”

“Um… Then what?”

We pondered for a while.

Blackjack and Wonderland don’t deal with crimes this small.

It’s because their idea is to take care of one big thing properly and earn a lot of money.

Besides, it’s a waste of manpower. It’s a high-class manpower gathered for crime, but if you’re hunting skeletons or slimes, it’s not worth it.

‘No, is it different if Cheshire is involved?’

Currently, the Wonderland tycoon roaming around the Wonderfentanyl estate is Cheshire.

The name Cheshire is one of the names I have never forgotten. Of course, it wasn’t a matter of whether she had feelings for her or not.

‘He was a guy with a big liver who tried to stab Elfriede in the back.’

Absolutely zero loyalty towards superiors. She’s the kind of guy who just wanted to amass her own wealth by doing bad things.

In a way, she was the talent that Elfride wanted the most, but she couldn’t be tamed, so she had no choice but to kill her.

The image of him being executed by cutting off his head is still vivid in my mind.

Finished thinking

Alice was half right and half wrong.

It is true that the Wonderland guys move, but it is Cheshire’s arbitrary judgment that dictates it.

“Cheshire. It’s him.”

“Cheshire?”

“If you think about what you are doing from above, on the contrary, you have to pay all the rewards that follow to the top.”

“But you said earlier that monopolizing the bounty wasn’t something you ordered from above, right?”

“Yes. It’s money secretly created by the upper management.”

“Aha. Understood. He must be guzzling all the money he made by monopolizing the bounty.”

“Yes. How many bounties will there be?”

“There will still be a lot. It’s been a while since I put this on.”

Cheshire won’t show up at the Wonderfentanil estate until he’s taken all of this, and waiting is too much time.

Calculation is over.

After all, I decided to go see him in person.

I went to see a sea turtle. She was checking blueprints in a makeshift room.

The girl points at herself with her index finger and approaches as I nod at her.

“How long will it take to finish the construction?”

“I think it will be built sooner than I thought. It’s surprising, the amount of time you work per day is not long, but progress is fast.”

“That’s efficiency.”

“Is that so.”

He didn’t seem to understand, but the sea turtle nodded anyway. He added a few words to her.

“When the treatment center is completed, go around the territory and repair all the old buildings.”

The sea turtle tilts its head.

“…If I built a clinic, wouldn’t I be free?”

“Even if I let you go, you are no longer free. If Elfriede finds you, he will kill you.”

“No, why?”

“I used my architectural talents not for Blackjack or Wonderland, but for strangers, and will they keep you alive? You are already a traitor.”

“No… What should I do then?”

The sea turtle shows an attitude of disapproval by blatantly sticking out its mouth.

“Either run away for the rest of your life, or work with me.”

“Then I want to run away.”

“By the way, if you run away, you’re a traitor to me too.”

“Ah… “

Eventually, the sea turtle lowers her head.

“…It won’t work if we work together. Yes.”

“Okay. Then keep quiet and fix it.”

“But the compensation for the Wonderfentanil Ganesha is rather difficult. Looking at it, it is a level that needs to be built again.”

“Then build a new one. We will provide all the manpower and materials from this side. People who have no place to stay while they are being built are fed and put to sleep at the treatment center.”

The sea turtle nods, then the speed of the nod slows down. And I tilted my head slightly.

“Hey, Mr. Florian.”

“Why.”

“May I ask you one question?”

“Okay.”

“Are you really just Alice’s fiancée? It’s the first time I’ve seen a man who makes her fiancee work.”

“Why is her fiancé working hard?”

“No… I want to roll too hard. Are you doing this for any other purpose? What organization do you have?”

It’s a pity that you don’t know my affection for reviving Alice.

Still, knowing your purpose will make you feel comfortable working under you. I opened my mouth.

“The name of the organization is El Balom.”

“El Balom? It’s the first name I’ve heard of… Anyway, there is an organization. What is the purpose of the organization?”

“To create a world that is the complete opposite of what Elfriede wants. That is the purpose.”

Purpose. Purpose. After mumbling a few times, the sea turtle nodded.

“Is it a world without crime? Words are nice. But in other words, L… No, that means being his worst enemy. I think it’s going to be a real big deal.”

“We will gradually increase our power. Don’t worry.”

Elfriede hadn’t taken action in earnest yet. So even if you gradually increase your power from now on, there will be enough time.

The best advantage of returning to the past is that it comes back ‘with memories’.

Later, she will make allies in advance of those who are capable of becoming Black Jack or the main executives of Wonderland.

Then, since Elfriede’s strength is weakened and mine is strengthened, it would be great.

“Are you sure you can survive against him?”

“Huh.”

Aww, the sea turtle let out a deep sigh.

“…It feels like I’m being held captive by someone I really don’t understand.”

“You only noticed that now. Now go and do your job, turtle.”

“Yes.”

The sea turtle walks toward the treatment center with a gallop.

Then she suddenly looked back at her and said with a more lively look in her eyes than before.

“Hey, my name is Tyr. It’s not a sea turtle.”

“Okay Turtle.”

◈

After taking a bath, I packed my trivi and headed towards the edge of the manor.

“Heh… Heck… Lord, Master… That hard… It’s really, really hard… “

Oh, I also took a useless rabbit. I was never going to bring it

– Mr. Florian.
-Hey, Mr. Florian! How about the interior here?
– Mr. Florian!

I couldn’t help it because Tyr kept calling me by my first name. Because Alice keeps making strange noises…

In any case, we worked diligently at the edge of the manor.

Pod! Dig! Phut!

Slime and Skeleton reveal themselves I defeated. Alice collects the wreckage and piles it up in a designated place.

“Zooey… Master… Take a little break… “

Turned the gun

“Here is a skeleton dressed as a bunny girl.”

“How are the bones stacked? Shall we stack it up like a cake?”

Started hunting again.

Phut! Fain! Phut!

Every time it was triggered, white bones flew in all directions. In the case of slime, slime splattered.

It was me who was shooting from a distance, so it was neat, but Alice was already covered in soggy slime.

When about two hours passed like that.

When skeleton bones and slime cores piled up like mountains. By the time Elise was struggling to wipe the mucus from her body, catching her breath.

“Hey! What are you!”

Someone’s nervous cry. The bite finally came.
