52 Episode 52: The Leap of the Thief (2/2)

Performer control room.

Sitting on one of the arranged vanities, Anna, the guild receptionist, was mumbling the song to see how her throat was doing. I'm going to be on the show today as' The Singing Princess'. I had finished taking care of Larna and Prine, so I was working on getting myself ready.

”Larrah ♪... yeah. Lara Lara ♪”

As Anna sings, a pale light floats around her, flowing like a river.

”Singing Chant”.

It is a chant used by senior positions who specialize in songs. Sing a song instead of a spell to activate magic. There is a lot of auxiliary magic, but as long as you are ready, you will also be able to shoot powerful attack magic.

Today, I use it for performances.

- Yeah. I'm doing good today.

When I checked my throat, my co-star called out.

”Anna, customer”

Looking back. There stood a man with a 'tired of life' gray look, staring at Anna sitting in front of the vanity.

I know him.

”Oh, Agent Bobdy. Hello.”

”Don't give me the '' one way or the other, depressing”

”You don't have a choice, do you? I'm a singing princess.”

Abominable, Bobdy sees Anna in the face.

This man is an 'agent'.

In the lower organization of the forces that maintain security in the kingdom, there is an investigative body called the 'King's Police'. It's a group of officials who control crimes committed in the country.

Bobdy belongs to that 'King's Police' too, and now - much more than that, he's after a criminal.

”- I got a notice from 'God-Eyes'. Call off the show now.”

Yes, it is a forceful God-Eyes.

Agent Bobdy has been chasing them for over three years now - he was caught in smoke.

The nickname attached is' Bobdy the Turtle Feet '.

It is an abomination with pity and disdain for him, who will not always chase him in the next step. Rather, there is also the view that God-Eyes is deliberately pushing him away.

Because all the high-ranking officials and nobles previously exposed to injustice by God-Eyes had been captured by Bobdy, who was there on the spot. Because of this, even though he had missed many years of his life, his demotion had come to life.

I'm supposed to be chasing God-Eyes, but I'm getting a God-Eyes spill and continuing to be an agent - that's how I appreciate him.

It should be bitter for him, of course.

Bobdy refused to award all the medals, and even though he was born recently, he finally got them because his boss was loud. His purpose is only God-Eyes.

Agent Bobdy has been hanging on Anna a a lot lately. Hi. He thinks there's a connection between her and God-Eyes.

”Fine, we'll call off the show right away.”

But Anna can afford it.

I smiled at Bobdy's request.

”You're lying. ♪ I didn't hear that information from the sitter. ♪ Mostly, how can I decide to run the show?”

”Ugh, ku...... Ha! Now you're telling me, Anna.”

Don't tell me you're just stupid, Princess Sing.

”Hey, you really know a lot, don't you? What is going to happen today? Why don't you just tell me softly?

”I don't know. I just have a regular guild show today. If you don't come, God-Eyes will come.”

Waving and answering that, Bobdy grinned.

”What? What did you just say?

”... so I can't believe God-Eyes is coming if you don't -”

”Did you say God-Eyes? What makes you think that? I didn't say a word of that. Yet you told me that the thieves were coming. Doesn't this mean you're related?

”No......................... You said it first.................. Got a notice from God-Eyes. What......................... Looks so great already..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

”... I told you, I”

”I told you... that's the only reason you're here in the first place...”

”... so is that”

Apparently he failed in his attempt to make a bad camouflage. At least I want you to remember about the line you said. It is pitiful to pass through the shame already.

Anna decided to change her story. Too pitiful.

”Hey, Mr. Bobdy. Still can't find 'The Witch of the North' at your place? It's a case of our young lads.”

”Ah? The one where the innkeeper's daughter was put to sleep? I'm splitting up the personnel. Looks like Sama, the guild adventurer, is working hard, too, huh?

”Bye. Wang police have a lot of former adventurers, don't they?

”Ha! You can't count on a former adventurer. It's no different than a mercenary or a gorotzki. Damn, what a thief...!

”Oh, my gosh, I'm back again.”

”Anyway. I keep an eye on you. There's no doubt that the Alliance and the God-Eyes are connected. As long as we keep that ladder down... you know what else?

”Are you wasting your time doing that already? I have nothing to do with it.”

”Even though you say you're a fan?

”As the guild's receptionist, I can't say anything.”

”As a singing princess?

”... right. I think it would be great to be able to attract the audience that far. Whatever the way.”

”Ha! That's exactly why the adventurer... Well, good. It's about doing the show seriously at best. If you don't want me to grab your tail.”

Shit, pointing to Anna, Bobdy turned his heel back.

The momentum was so good that it spins a whirl on the spot. Again, in the front of Anna, a finger was pointed at the numb.

Puffy, Anna laughs.

Beautiful turn.

”Yeah, shut up! What the hell is this place...!

Agent Bobdy, who pisses off his shoulder and leaves the holding room behind.

Anna, left behind, shrugged, and laughed,

”I'm the 'God-Eyes' hey...”

I smiled like I was frightened, happy, like that.
