Chapter 112

Jamit

The Grand Duke’s staff the personality was not that good.

The North’s budget was insufficient. It was a frozen situation like the North’s weather.

Because had to feed and save the North with that non-existent finances, had no choice but to fight with the captains.

The better doing work rather more cursed. So there was no choice but the staff’s temper becoming dirty.

Some captain even called the staff ‘eccentric and petty calculator’.

Such staff was now quietly waiting. Some even hummed a nasal song.

“If even holding the engagement ceremony, Captain Galahad would have certainly come this side?”

“Of course! Isn’t marriage an important matter! Heuheu.”

Satisfactory laughter burst in places.

“How the engagement ceremony budget?”

“How— pour all the remaining budget! Do as gorgeously as possible!”

“Right! Showing our sincerity······. No, one has to show that the North is still intact!”

“Because the empire side and the kingdom alliance are coming. One has to do certainly.”

The staff presented various opinions.

Then, the door opened. Galahad leisurely appeared.

“I was a bit late. Sorry.”

“No. We arrived early!”

At the bald staff’s thick skin other staff made wide smiles.

“Thank you.”

Galahad naturally sat in the upper seat. Although originally the seat the Grand Duke sits, no one raised a question.

No, from the beginning there was only that empty seat.

Galahad put the cigarette in his mouth and flicked his finger. Lemon scent deeply blew.

“The mana stone amount clearly increased.”

One staff held out a stone and laughed. To Theodore it was just a shining stone.

‘That is that expensive—.’

Although now knew the value of mana stones, there was not that use.

Mana stones the value is preserved only if a mage digs. It was the North that excluded mages. There was no mage to operate.

Even if obtaining a mage the problem remained.

“The quantity piled quite. How should one process this?”

It was the processing of mana stones. Not that there are no guys with big guts who would sell mana stones piercing the empire’s northern sanctions.

But the amount was many to process so. Also clear would not receive a proper value.

“Mages of the magic tower will come to the engagement ceremony. Thinking of distributing through them.”

Using the engagement ceremony—. the staff softly was surprised.

“The magic tower would not try to trade with us.”

“Correct words. Directly trading with the North under the empire’s sanctions is burdensome to them too.”

“Then—.”

“They are trading with the Noon magic tower. The empire is generous to magic towers. There is also tax reduction benefit, and looks at various conveniences. Of course, not directly trading with the Noon magic tower.”

“Isn’t it trading with the Noon magic tower?”

“There are guys who confused the North? It is trading with them.”

It was the story of placing one more stage below. Quite plausible.

“There is one group that bound them. That name······.”

Galahad slightly paused. The staff waited while carefully breathing even.

“It was dawn.”

Dawn? The staff tilted their heads. In contrast Theodore’s face stiffened.

“A look of knowing.”

Galahad’s eyes stared at Theodore. Theodore swallowed dry saliva and avoided the gaze. It was not a story to do in such a place.

“Dawn erected the Noon magic tower, and bewitched the North. Obtaining mana stones cheap from the North that does not know the value of mana stones and selling expensive and aiming at the North’s confusion with the gathered property guys. Understood?”

Galahad’s words softly ended. The staff’s expressions became subtle.

Deceiving the North that does not know mana stones and bringing mana stones at a cheap value, passing to the empire—. aiming at the North’s confusion with the money accumulated so.

“The empire is bloodshot on mana stones. Bringing the North’s excellent quality mana stones cheap and supplying to the empire and intending the North’s confusion with that money? If such a justification I guarantee the empire would welcome with both hands raised. Because the guys thriftily use even reactionaries.”

Galahad tapped the cigarette and laughed.

Even though heard the explanation it was complicated. However, not that did not understand. Rather the opposite.

‘Too plausible.’

Theodore carefully raised his hand.

“······Will you bring confusion to the North?”

Although knowing a foolish question, had no choice but to ask.

“What Sir Gilbert-like sound is that. Didn’t say. I will make the North great again.”

Galahad said while raising the corners of his mouth. Confidence was full in that smile.

‘······Sir Gilbert?’

At the out of the blue name the staff tilted their heads.

“Of course, because one has to avoid the empire’s eyes cannot give the value right away. That washing process is also needed. That will discuss later.”

At the continued Galahad’s words the staff’s eyes became large.

Because it was the story of Galahad holding the sword hilt.

Although a quite arrogant remark but—.

‘No choice but to receive.’

With their own power could not pierce the sales route of mana stones.

From the beginning even the amount Galahad presented was a desperate situation.

Along with—.

‘Anyway a relationship that will marry.’

That reassured them.

“Good, the magic tower completing quickly is the key. Until the engagement ceremony a plausible appearance has to come out.”

Galahad took out something and raised on the table. It was a huge sack.

Theodore who opened the sack could not hold a scream. Gold was full inside the sack. All gold coins.

“This is the down payment.”

Galahad who exactly smoked one cigarette left the room.

Silence continued for a long time.

Around when the lemon scent thins, the staff became noisy again.

The side of concentrating on the magic tower’s construction and the side that the engagement ceremony has to be more gorgeous opposed.

At that Theodore—.

“Doing both. Because we have gold coins.”

Theodore shook the sack and laughed.

The staff’s eyes became hazy.

“······Dawn?”

Adrianne’s eyebrows violently trembled.

“You, said there was a time raided by dawn. Can you tell regarding that?”

Adrianne’s blue eyes stared at Galahad. Adrianne’s mouth briefly moved with a beonggeot and opened.

“······Yes. Dawn is one of the groups that attacked me. When I was a deputy captain, was raided in Magic Realm. At that the previous 1st Battalion Captain disappeared in Magic Realm and—.”

Adrianne lowered her eyes. At that Galahad recalled Gilbert’s explanation.

[The previous 1st Battalion Captain went missing in Magic Realm. It was one Lady Adrianne followed like parents.]

‘Antipathy would be large.’

Galahad clicked his tongue softly. At the same time a question rose.

‘Doesn’t dawn want Adrianne’s death?’

The purpose of the matter dawn caused under the 6th Battalion this time was the increase of the North’s mana density. It was for making into the demon race’s area.

In contrast Adrianne possesses the nature of burning mana. If dawn the possibility of wanting Adrianne’s death was large.

However, even this time the ruler, the fox mask also did not directly aim at Adrianne.

Even in Magic Realm the previous captain went missing and Adrianne alone survived.

That resultantly—.

‘Thanks to that Adrianne became a captain.’

Galahad’s eyes deepened.

The intention of all matters one could infer looking at that result. Resultantly Adrianne was promoted.

“Was wandering alone in Magic Realm that time?”

Adrianne nodded. Those eyebrows went down to the extent of touching the eyes. The eyes softly shook.

“Would have been hard.”

Adrianne held the sword hilt instead of answering. That hand trembled. White aura undulated. That—.

“I will definitely find.”

It was anger. Adrianne burned instead of frustration.

“Do you think the previous 1st Battalion Captain is still alive?”

“Yes. Would be alive.”

Hmm—. if that long period in Magic Realm, with high probability would have died···· yet. No, if alive that is more the problem.

Galahad desperately swallowed the rebuttal that rose up to the mouth end. Because Adrianne’s blue eyes sparkled.

“So periodically entering Magic Realm?”

Adrianne heavily nodded. The neck nodding so was stiff as if hardened. It seemed a hard story.

“Do not worry. I will find. Although I do everything well, finding people I particularly do well.”

Galahad said while raising the corners of his mouth.

Adrianne’s eyes became large. The eyebrows greatly shook. Soon Adrianne chewed her lips.

“······Magic Realm is dangerous.”

Even if oneself is desperate not transferring to others—. truly an honest one. Galahad clicked his tongue.

“Going together with you what is dangerous. This place without you is more dangerous than Magic Realm.”

It was sincere. If by any chance Adrianne goes wrong all accumulated until now in the North becomes bubbles. Could not block the demon race’s king either—.

Rather entering Magic Realm together with Adrianne is safer.

“Believe only me.”

Galahad sincerely whispered. At that Adrianne stiffened for a moment and slowly nodded.

“Yes.”

Adrianne’s voice was firm. Those eyes sparkled.

At that Galahad raising the corners of his mouth—.

“Come, go and stand again.”

Pointed the back.

At that finger Adrianne hesitated for a moment and nodded. Traces were full around. Because dropped heavenly punishment so much.

“Three hundred twelfth experiment.”

Galahad lightly waved his hand.

“Heaven—.”

“Captain!”

Then, Gilbert ran from the side. A subtle look was full on Gilbert’s face.

“Captain, a guest came.”

“Guest?”

“It is a woman called Jamit, quite a beauty.”

Gilbert said in a little excited voice.

‘Jamit directly?’

Jamit was not a field agent. Yet Jamit directly coming up to here—. that reason was obvious.

‘This···. The Information Bureau completely discarded me.’

Galahad’s face furrowed.

Gilbert who was in front of that a question rose. Hearing a woman’s name and Galahad showing such a reaction—.

‘Aha.’

Gilbert softly sighed.

“Is it a woman met before?”

Adrianne’s eyes became large.

“Today will do only up to here.”

Galahad disappeared with steps faster than usual.

“Really a previous lover?”

Gilbert softly muttered.

“Sir Gilbert.”

“Yes, Lady Adrianne.”

“I will spar.”

“Now?”

Although Adrianne nodding was somehow cool, Gilbert quickly drew the sword.

“Knight—! Gilber······.”

Gilbert rolled on the floor even before finishing the words.

“No, even the words of starting yet—. ugh!”

****

Jamit sat in a proper posture in front of the bonfire. Not leaning the back on the backrest and holding the glass slanted in the hand. Orange scanned Jamit’s face.

Then, the door softly opened. Tak tak. From the leisurely yet constant stride even dignity blew. Even without seeing one could know that owner.

“Jamit, long time.”

Galahad said while shaking the snow on the shoulder.

Although quite time passed since going to the North, Galahad was as is.

Neat conquest and neatly passed hair, even the upright posture—. noble as if even the North’s cold cannot invade.

“Long time.”

Jamit raised the corners of her mouth. Galahad’s gaze quickly moved. Stopped behind Jamit.

“Agent Gal! No, it is James!”

James full of spirit raised a powerful salute.

“Survived.”

“Yes! Thanks to the advice!”

Galahad’s gaze quickly scanned. It was clear confirming how to process James. It was a habit.

Galahad sat in front of Jamit. Jamit quietly examined that face. Galahad’s eyes were soft, but cool. Deep so one could not know the inside.

“Slimmed a bit.”

“The North’s food did not suit the mouth.”

Galahad put the cigarette in his mouth. Lemon scent deeply blew.

“Was my retirement plan caught?”

Even before Jamit opened her mouth, Galahad grasped the situation. Jamit obediently nodded.

“Yes, even formed a team. For the retirement purpose the largest scale ever.”

“The largest scale ever retirement team. Gorgeous.”

Galahad muttered and raised the corners of his mouth.

It was clear mockery.

“Because forces gather at the engagement ceremony, thinking of driving a wedge in front of that.”

“Yes, director-like. Is the deputy director’s body healthy?”

“Yes, what smoking cigarettes heavily and getting angry—. same as usual.”

“This— one has to think about age.”

“Right. Because aged cannot come up to such a far place. I came instead.”

Jamit gestured. At that James raised a large bag on the table.

“This—.”

Galahad’s eyes became large. It was a real reaction not decorated. Jamit raised the corners of her mouth.

“It is a gift.”

Galahad familiarly tidied the upper part of the bag.

“Ah, because one has to put a magic tool to open. It is a security system the Information Bureau introduced this time—.”

Click, even before Jamit finished the words the bag opened.

“Certainly became pickier than before.”

At Galahad’s joke Jamit smiled bitterly. Put the key taking out back into the pocket.

What contained in the large bag was dense documents. It was documents aggregating all information the deputy director and Jamit can access.

So that—.

“A small Information Bureau.”

Galahad softly sighed.

There was no need to explain. The value of this bag Galahad knew best.

“An amazing gift.”

Galahad laughed without decoration.

Then, the door roughly opened. A huge man entered while shaking the snow on his shoulder. It was First and Pumpkin.

“It is Jamit.”

“Long time. Jamit.”

Pumpkin behind First waved his hand. Jamit simply only nodded.

“Jamit coming up to here—.”

First furrowed his eyes. A moment the atmosphere became cool. Galahad tapped the cigarette. Pumpkin held the sword hilt.

“Is it vacation?”

At First’s lumped question Jamit softly nodded.

“Certainly the North has charm.”

First sat in an empty seat. First’s eyes who saw the documents contained in the bag became large.

Galahad closed the bag. Placed the bag beside and flicked his finger with a tok tok. Still leisure was seen.

“Is it retirement?”

First asked in a thick voice.

“Says so.”

“These damn things—.”

First’s face fully furrowed. Aura stretched riding First’s hand. The surrounding air became hot.

“Daring.”

First fully got angry.

It was a natural reaction. Because an Information Bureau agent’s retirement was not simple retirement—.

An agent’s retirement was perfect annihilation.

All traces of Galahad would be erased. No, because the retirement team was formed, would already have been erased.

It was the story of all things Galahad accumulated disappearing in an instant.

Yet the very Galahad was leisurely.

Rather faintly laughing.

Exactly as if what was coming came—.

Could not understand. It was a situation where the retirement team was formed. Along with that this bag was the deputy director’s last help, and an expression that now cannot help him.

It was the story of the string completely falling.

Yet laughing so—.

“Why laughing! Aren’t you even resentful! Galahad!”

First said in a voice full of anger. Momentum of drawing a sword right now. The atmosphere swollen in an instant.

James awkwardly blocked in front of Jamit.

“Resentful?”

Galahad leisurely answered. At that First’s eyes fully furrowed.

“All your records will be erased. Even the trace that you were in the Information Bureau would not be. The merits and achievements you established until now, all would be denied.”

“I know. Isn’t it the work I was doing.”

Galahad lightly nodded. At the peaceful answer fire fully undulated above First’s shoulder.

“Yet how!!”

“So now not an agent.”

“······There is another plan.”

First who found composure stared at Galahad. At that Galahad softly nodded.

“I have no thought of quitting the agent life.”

“Of course. One can quit only after finishing the match with me.”

“Isn’t I the undefeated? Well, anyway.”

Galahad softly flicked his finger.

“Although already retired, because I still have no thought of quitting the agent—. this no choice.”

Unlike the content Galahad did not look impatient at all.

Rather faintly laughing.

“I will have to make a new Information Bureau one.”

Making a new Information Bureau not even a store the Information Bureau···.

Although content that does not make sense but—.

The problem was the person who said is Galahad.

Then, First stood with a flash. First’s eyes turned with a binggeul binggeul. Pumpkin who saw that screamed. Had to block that mouth.

However, First’s bullshit was faster than Pumpkin’s hand.

“The deputy director is me!!!”

First loudly shouted.
