109 CHAPTER XII -- INTRUDING BLACK MARKET ① (1/2)
I got the information from Gotts and came back to my room.
I'm home.
Thanks for your help.
Oh, Leena. Good job, Leena. You were very helpful today.
When I got back to my room, I found that Leena and Belle had come back in addition to Shelly.
They both looked like they were fresh from a bath and were wiping their wet hair with a towel.
'No, no. It's nothing to worry about.
Thank you so much for not doing that.
If it wasn't for Leena's help, it would never have gone as smoothly as it did.
No, I'm glad I could help you, Leo.
Thank you, Belle.
Belle was working hard with Leena, too.
'No, I was just helping Leena.
But thank you.
Then I patted Belle's head.
Belle happily leaned in closer.
Oh, it's not fair!
Okay. Thank you, Sherry.
An angry Shelly came up to me, wanting to pet me too, so I stroked Shelly's head as well.
”Heh heh.
Shelly sounded happy as she was stroked on the head .
I'm not sure if I should go too.
'Come on, Leena,'
Yes, sir.
A little embarrassed when I called out to her, Leena came running up to me, looking happy to see me.
”So, did you get anything out of Gotts?
I was patting them on the head for a while when Shelly asked, sticking close to me.
'Yeah, I could hear where you got them from.
The girls taught me a few things, too.
Huh? You could have told me that already?
Everyone trusts Leena, right?
Can you tell me what they said?
'Yes. The girls were on their way to the country of men when they were caught by bandits and others on their way out of their homeland and were made into slaves. Then they were taken to the basement of this city and have not been seen above ground since.
'I see. ....... I knew what Gotts said was true.
But still, that's a very vicious thing to do when you've just flown out of your hometown.
What did Gotts say?
There's a place underneath this city called the Kuro Market District, where you can get stuff that's banned in the world.
There's a place for that. There you are, Mladin, the center of the universe.
I guess it's the center of the world, for better or worse .
'Well, now that I've found it, I've got to crush it somehow: ......
That sounds like a lot of work.
Yes, it's going to be a lot of work: .......
It's really hard work. . so I'm going to go check it out now.
'What? Alone? Isn't it dangerous to be a Leo? I don't know what's in there, okay?
Yes, but ...... you can't take someone with you, can you?
Well, don't worry. I got this.
Then he showed them the cloak I was now wearing.
”Is this the cloak Leo-kun always wears when he's serious?
Yeah. It's actually a trick that lets me turn invisible. Watch and learn.
Then I used the Invisibility Cloak+ to become invisible.
'Huh? Gone?
Sherry said and looked around scornfully.
'Master Leo's scent has vanished.
Sniffing and sniffing, even Belle was surprised.
Come to think of it, this cloak not only makes you invisible, but it also eliminates your smell and stuff.
It's a good thing my grandfather gave me this.
That's great. I've never felt anything like it.
Isn't it great?
””Yikes!”
I gave them a collective hug from behind, and they let out a loud scream in surprise.
Did I startle you a little too much?
So I'm going to sneak into the black market now.
Don't ever take any chances, okay?
Leena looked me in the eye and reminded me.
”I know, I know. I'm just going to watch and not do anything today.
So don't worry about it.
Okay, we'll be watching the monitors again.
Well, it's better than waiting around and worrying about me.
”Yeah, all right. Okay, I'm going to go now. Oh, and I think I'd better take Elena with me, just in case.
As expected, it would be better to have a proper weapon this time.
Thinking about that, I took Elena out of my backpack for the first time in a while.
It's been a while. (Leo)
Elena, whom I haven't seen in a long time, seems to have become much more devious and dangerous, just like a magic sword.
Hi, long time no see, Elena.
You've left me alone for so long.
I'm sorry, because I never had a chance to use it before.
