127 Black Jaguar (2/2)
”She won't.”
She'd absolutely get angry, I thought.
In the first place, Delta is currently undergoing a mission for the Mitsugoshi Company; it is incomprehensible to bring up the old rule of Shadow Garden now.
Sorry Delta, when everything is over, I will go apologize together with you.
”This is also for the sake of the world....”
”For the world….?”
”Yes, for the world.”
”For the world!”
”Un, sorry Delta. When the mission is complete, I will properly give you a reward.”
”Anything goes!?”
Delta's eyes are shining with her tail wagging about.
”Not anything. Within my ability, as long as it does not take much effort and money, I will do anything.”
”Boss will do anything I say!?”
”As long as it's within the conditions I said.”
”Yeah! I will do the mission!”
”What should I make you do? Okay, going straight along this route, you'll come across the lawless city. There is a black tower there. In that tower, there's a guy called Juggernaut. He's a bad bandit, so please go and hunt him down.”
”Lawless city, Black tower, Juggernaut? Just that?”
”Yes yes.”
”Understood! When I'm done, Boss will have to do as I say!”
”Within the conditions, okay? You don't have to hurry, so take your time and go slowly, okay?”
”Lawless City! Black Jaguar! Hunting!”
As she said that, Delta dashed away.
I think the details were slightly different, but oh well.
Let's just celebrate the fact that Delta is away from the capital.
Because Delta totally can't act; even if she tried to hide something it will soon get found out.
With that much information, it will surely take some time, so this should be just about right.
The counterfeit bills have not been circulated enough yet,so it's too soon to let my ident.i.ty be exposed now.
Well, let's continue with the security detail.
”We lost track of Delta after she went to pursue John Smith.”
”————-!?”
Alpha who heard Gamma's report dropped her pen and looked at Gamma.
”We found this on the scene…..”
What Gamma showed her was fur from Delta's tail. Seeing the fur that had been forcibly torn, Alpha's anger welled up.
Gamma's eyes were calm. But deep down inside was a burning anger that could not be suppressed.
”So….Delta was….”
Noticing her voice that was weaker than usual, Alpha calmed down a little bit.
She was prepared for it.
That someday, someone would die among them. That was what occurred today.
”I don't think that Delta would abandon Alphsama's mission. That girl is an idiot….even though she's an idiot, her strength is the only good thing about her and she will do whatever Alphsama told her to.....”
”It's fine, I understand.”
Alpha comforts Gamma, who is squeezing out her trembling voice.
Delta is always responsible for dangerous work because of her high combat ability. She's the one that always took on the most dangerous mission in Shadow Garden. If there is a situation where she doesn't return, it's almost certain that she is dead.
However, her death was yet to be a certainty even if the odds of her survival is low.
”Continue searching for Delta. Do everything you can, at least we have to collect her remains…..”
”Yes.”
Then Alpha received Delta's fur from Gamma. She wrapped it within a cloth and hugged it tightly.
She'd heard how dangerous John Smith was from No.664. She shouldn't have sent her out after him alone.
If Delta lost against him, then she must've been caught in a trap.
”John Smith...….!”
A low, deep voice came out from Alpha's throat.
*Grit*…The sound of Alpha grinding her teeth rang about.
