I took a little time.

July 28.

The day before the Dragon's Rest Area raid.

Before leaving, Unknown made his way to the lair of the Savior of Truth for a moment.

“Welcome. Boss.”

Maestro welcomes Unknown.

“Are you alone?”

“Yes, I am alone. ”

I don't feel any other movement inside the lair.

Saint will be working in the Church, and Trickster and Rust are away to take care of business.

Hermitt is overseeing the entire country under Unknown's orders.

Unknown closes his eyes and focuses for a moment. It was about checking where your magic was distributed. This action allows us to specify to some extent the target's location where the 'absolute obedience oath’ is placed.

Trickster's in England.

Rust is Brazilian.

Hermites Korea.

St. Paul's Church.

Unknown opens his eyes again, confirming that everyone is in their proper position.

Maestro thought, watching Unknown's placid expression.

‘Looks like Hermit is still in Korea. ’

If Hermite were in the United States, she wouldn't look like that.

‘There was no guarantee that Rust's words were true in the first place. Possibilities · · · · · · · This is a ploy to gain by alienating Hermit and me. ’

“David.”

I woke up from the memory of Unknown's call.

“Speak.”

“How long have you been working for me? ”

“Twelve years.”

“Twelve years. It's already happened. ”

Unknown blindly sweeps through the air.

“David, you've been very good for 12 years. ”

Unknown smiles and gazes at Maestro.

“· · · · · · · · Boss? ”

Maestro's eyes widened in a warm look I had never seen before.

“It is no exaggeration to say that thanks to you, the Master was able to obtain new experimental results. Thank you.”

I was moved by Maestro's expression. I have never seen Unknown express his gratitude to anyone before.

“I don't know what to say. ”

Maestro kneels on one knee and bows.

“David. Once upon a time, I asked what exactly my abilities were. Do you remember?”

“· · · · · · · Example. ”

Maestro smiles bitterly.

This was a time when I was still very young. I asked him about Unknown's abilities without knowing the subject.

I was curious from Tokyo.

What is the source of Unknown's vast power? What kind of power made him so perfect? What his hidden power is.

Such curiosity.

“I thought he was a rascal. I didn't think you'd make it up here. ”

Unknown laughs a little.

“· · · · · · · · It's my embarrassing past. ”

Maestro smiles bitterly.

Looking at Maestro with a slightly red face, Unknown smiles again.

“My abilities have no formal title. That's why I named him. ”

“· · · · · · · · Boss? ”

Then I said something out of the blue.

“Predatory. Eating the target, gaining the ability of the target · · · · · · ·. Such ability.”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Maestro gives you a reasonable nod. With such abilities, it makes sense that Unknown's vast capabilities are too great.

Unknown stares at his right hand.

“It is actually a disgraceful and trembling force to be called ability. ”

“What is said · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

As I stared straight into Maestro's eyes, Unknown smiled.

“You wouldn't understand if I told you. ”

Maestro stared at Unknown with his eyes that he was not.

“I think I'd understand. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“But David. This is impossible with ’physical’, leaving without understanding it. ”

“I don't think you know that. ”

The pride incarnate, Maestro's voice, was slightly elevated.

“That's also true. Well, let me see if I understand. ”

Maestro raises one lip and says,

“□ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ (I do not have the system.) ”

However, the voice was not heard by Maestro.

No, I heard, but I couldn't understand.

“· · · · · · Now, what? ”

“I see. You look the same. ”

Unknown shakes his head slightly.

Looking at the strange disappointed expression, Maestro chews his lips.

A moment of silence passed.

“David, do you remember the day I brought the child? ”

Then Unknown brings out a new topic.

“Yes, I remember. ”

“That day, you said. Why are you suddenly placing an unknown woman in the position of an executive? ”

“· · · · · · · Example. ”

“I answered. Because it's useful. ”

It's been over five years.

“Yes. The boss was right after all. Rust was a viable woman. ”

Maestro recognizes Rust's ability to infiltrate, but also his ability to gather information. The same goes for combat skills.

“From then on · · · · · · · in the favour of the boss who clearly understood Rust's potential. ”

“David.”

Unknown stops speaking to Maestro.

“That's not what the ‘usefulness’ of the child I spoke of. ”

Unknown's jaw twitches.

“A child's ability is rare. A third source of energy, not magical or physical strength. Ability to handle periodically. I just coveted that ability. ”

“· · · · · · · What does that mean? ”

“Yes, I joined the organization to ‘eat’ a child. ”

To do just that, I broke a woman's relationship with Shirakawa Ai. Devil driven, ambushed, and interrogated.

I manipulated both parents, leading them to the worst. In addition, 'Heterogeneity: Montma’ became a body that forcibly took away the ‘regular’ of the men around Sildon who liked it.

So the life of a woman named Shirakawa Ai was completely ruined.

And ”Unnoun” picked up a child like that from Shirakawa.

Completely concealing what he did, looking like a kiddo, picking up an abandoned cat from his owner.

So I took Shirakawa's child into my arms.

Shirakawa Ai, who had nowhere else to go, joined an organization called the Life Savior of the Truth along the way.

This is the birthplace of an executive named Rust.

“Why do such a hassle? ”

Maestro asks with puzzled eyes. If Rust's ability had been coveted, he would have ‘eaten’ on the spot. Why would he do something like this?

“I needed time to digest the ‘food’ I swallowed before my child. In the meantime, I needed a place to tie the child up. ”

It was a fence that said it was a lifesaver of truth.

“And yesterday. The digestion is finally over. ”

“Then why did you move here today? ”

“Yes, for a ‘prey’. ”

Unknown's smile darkens.

“If so, why rush now? ”
