Chapter 303 Let me have your eyes (1/2)

After the meeting they had, each member of the Mercenary club was given a mission. So in accordance to that mission Emily was now following Kei while clinging to his arm smiling gleefully. Ever since the time Kei agreed to be her boyfriend Emily was in a very joyous mood. She wanted to quickly do some cosplaying as a couple. Seeing as there were tons of costumes that Emily wanted to try that she wasn't able to since she didn't have a partner. She happily tried to ask Kei but he denied the idea since there was more work to do now. Emily wasn't affected by the denial and instead said the line, next time then.

This was so different from the normal Emily that it stunned Kei for a few seconds. He wasn't expecting this at all. The Emily right now was too happy that she wasn't really bothered by such things. As long as they were together they could cosplay any time they wanted to.

Kei who was stunned for a moment smiled, as he finally figured out what was going on inside the head of his so called adorable girlfriend.

...

Right now the two of them were heading to one of Kei's informants. The final goal of the members of the Mercenary club was to find Alex's whereabouts and rescue him. Now that Kei has Emily by his side, with her hacking expertise they might be able to find some traces Alex this time. So for now the two of them decided to gather more information from other people.

The informant was currently hiding in one of the abandoned cities near the former border of Berdonia. Once the Granado Empire conquered the place, they only left a few soldiers to monitor the situation, as they continued to push inward towards Berdonia's capital. These soldiers don't do their jobs properly, as they sometimes leave their post to do something else and only come back once a week to check on the situation.

The informant stayed here to hide, seeing as it was the least likely place he would get caught. That wasn't the only reason he stayed here, the other reason was so that he could gather information from the lower ranked soldiers, which was easy since some of them weren't as patriotic as the others.

...

Kei and Emily were stealthily passing through the city. They don't really need to do this, since the next time a Granado Empire soldier would come to inspect the city, would be two days from now. Still Kei thought that it was better safe than sorry.

...

While Kei and Emily were sneaking around, two individuals were looking at them from a distance. One of them was a very alluring woman wearing the Shadow Mercenaries uniform. She had no visible weapon present and the only thing noteworthy aside from her sexy look was her excessively long finger nails. The one with her was a man that looked to be around forty years old. At first glance you would think he had no weapon as well, but the truth was he had numerous knives hidden in his body.

”So those are the targets, Emily Hunt and Kei Kaido.” The man spoke as he was looking through his binoculars.

”Based on the reports I've seen of these two, I can tell that they aren't really that good in battle. They're the type that are good in gaining information. So let's just go and get them, I'm sure this would be easy. Don't you think so, Daryl?”

”Hmmm... Yeah, among the six of them these two are supposedly the weakest in combat. Okay then, let's do this Amica.”

The two members of the Shadow Mercenaries started to move.
