Chapter 113

Opening

“The deputy director is me!!!”

First loudly shouted.

“Wait··· wait! I will talk a bit!”

At that Pumpkin who came to senses late hurriedly shouted.

Although First’s bullshit was not one or two days, this time the story was different.

Becoming the deputy director of the Information Bureau Galahad newly sets up—.

It was clear insubordination. It was rebellion against the Information Bureau. It was clear would be retired.

It was not a problem to simply decide.

Pumpkin urgently dragged First. First spewed hot breath.

“No matter how you I cannot yield the deputy director seat.”

“What— fuck, are you crazy?”

“Crazy. I am extremely normal.”

Pumpkin’s eyes roughly furrowed.

“Setting up a new Information Bureau—. is the Information Bureau some mercenary corps? If caught unconditionally retired.”

“Retirement? If not Galahad, who can retire me?”

First asked while looking at Pumpkin with unwavering eyes.

Correct words.

It was First who became stronger after coming to the North. If not Galahad it was clear First would be the best in the Information Bureau.

However—.

“No, then I— fuck.”

“I will take responsibility.”

At First’s firm answer Pumpkin’s eyes became sealreuk.

“My pension—. my two-story house fully filled with cheaply obtained magic tools a little past trend! The peaceful old age of waking up late around when the sun is caught in the middle and going to the cafe in front of the house and drinking a cup of coffee!”

“The dream is quite specific. I will transfer the seniority. Isn’t so?”

At First’s question Galahad lightly nodded.

“Not a seniority problem! Would continue sending the retirement team, isn’t one has to live a lifetime in threat now.”

At Pumpkin’s words First raised the corners of his mouth. That crooked corners of the mouth were anxious.

First approached with a seongkeum. Hot heat was transmitted riding those eyes. First whispered.

“If remaining in the Information Bureau? Would be mobilized to Galahad’s retirement, thinking of being put into Galahad’s retirement operation?”

First’s voice was serious without even one laughter.

Correct words. If in the North, it was clear would be mobilized to Galahad’s retirement.

‘Retiring Galahad—?’

Galahad did not leave aftereffects. Processed all entangled ones. Not for nothing agents tremble with a beol beol at Galahad’s name.

Standing on the same side as Galahad, or becoming Galahad’s enemy—.

It was a fight between the Information Bureau and Galahad. Because a one-to-group the result had to be obvious.

Choosing the Information Bureau was natural.

However—.

‘······Becoming Galahad’s enemy?’

It was an option one does not want to choose even if dying.

Yet fighting the Information Bureau on Galahad’s side? That also did not make sense.

‘Why such a dog-like choice—.’

Pumpkin tore his own head and glared at First.

“Is it that really setting up an Information Bureau is possible?”

“Pumpkin, what is the Information Bureau?”

At First’s question Pumpkin furrowed his eyes.

“It is the shadow cast on the empire’s glory.”

It was an orthodox answer. The Information Bureau was the shadow cast on the empire’s glory. Neither honor nor name remained. Just only protecting the empire’s glory.

Then, First shook his head.

“No.”

First’s voice was firm.

No? Pumpkin furrowed his eyes.

"The Information Bureau is—."

First pointed at himself with the thumb. Following pointing at Galahad—.

“It is the place where I and Galahad are. That place is exactly the Information Bureau.”

Firmly said.

Although a quite cool answer but—.

‘······Why you?’

Of course, First was a capable agent. It was the agent next to Galahad.

However, Galahad that trajectory was different.

Galahad was a legendary figure among agents.

Proved usefulness in the field as a mage whose all was making magic tools.

No matter how excellent First there was unreasonableness to bundle with Galahad.

And—.

‘Why putting one’s name in front?’

Pumpkin was fed up.

Then, First twitched his finger.

“Do not worry. Because not fighting the entire Information Bureau.”

“······What sound is that?”

At Pumpkin’s question First raised the corners of his mouth. It was a quite disgusting smile.

“It is a war with the director.”

First lowly said.

It was quite rational words.

It was the director stuck with a parachute from above. The director was evidence that the Information Bureau is no longer an independent group.

There the director did not know about the field and only put performance pressure. There was no choice but to be antipathy regarding the director among agents.

However—.

‘······That director is your father.’

Pumpkin tightly swallowed the words that rose up to the mouth end.

“Ah, no need to worry about the retirement team. Because until I die there would be no capacity to care about other places.”

Galahad quietly tapped the cigarette and said. It was an indifferent voice not matching the content.

The director’s goal was Galahad. Until Galahad dies, it was clear there would be no capacity to pour interest into other places.

The problem was the case of Galahad being retired.

‘······That Galahad being retired?’

Could not imagine.

“It is your choice.”

Galahad tapped the cigarette and said.

Pumpkin softly exhaled a sigh and sat in the seat again.

A subtle atmosphere circulated.

Even Jamit whether not expected a little dazed expression.

The indifferent—.

“The deputy director is me.”

It was First.

Pumpkin covered his face with his hand.

Soon Pumpkin who barely calmed quietly examined the surroundings.

‘The members are gorgeous.’

The faces of the gathered ones were considerable.

Galahad needed no explanation. There even First, the field ability was as if secured.

Above all—.

‘There is also Jamit.’

Jamit was one who decides the agent name of the new recruits. Because of that the one a new recruit meets first when entering is Jamit.

Some know Jamit as just one who names new recruits, but the reality was different.

Jamit was the deputy director’s close aide, and the Information Bureau’s staff and interior.

‘Really the Information Bureau.’

Pumpkin tightly closed his eyes.

“So what is the newly built Information Bureau name?”

First asked in a little excited voice. At that Galahad tapped the cigarette.

“If doing anyway better to do largely.”

“Obvious words!”

First laughed heartily. It was laughter full of real enjoyment.

“Hmm, it is the Continent Information Bureau.”

Galahad indifferently declared.

The Continent Information Bureau—. it was a quite large word to say with only this personnel. Yet other ones nodded.

“Good, I the deputy director also agree.”

“Right. Because maintaining the Information Bureau is good as a justification.”

“Then let’s do as the Continent Information Bureau.”

The Continent Information Bureau was newly established.

‘······This easily?’

Even while Pumpkin moved his mouth with a beonggeot, the three’s conversation continued without blockage.

“Will enter under the Grand Duke?”

“No, the Continent Information Bureau is an independent group.”

“It is that will prepare the foundation.”

“Haha! If doing so one could even touch the kingdom alliance side! Yes! The empire was too small!”

At First’s hearty laughter Pumpkin came to senses.

“Come, I will give the first mission.”

Then, Galahad flicked his finger. Everyone concentrated on Galahad’s finger.

Although not certain yet, it seemed the Continent Information Bureau was newly established.

The first mission was quite important.

Because would decide the nature of the organization from now. The first mission would clearly be recorded historically.

“The first mission is—.”

Everyone concentrated on Galahad’s voice.

“It is my engagement ceremony.”

Galahad raised the corners of his mouth.

‘The first mission is the engagement ceremony?’

Pumpkin’s eyes roughly shook.

Although not understood, because other ones nodded Pumpkin also followed and nodded.

If like this at least half goes.

*

“Here. Information of the ones who came up on the invitation list.”

The paper Jamit held out was cleanly organized with content Galahad needs.

“As expected Jamit.”

Galahad purely admired. Just brought up the story, yet organized the information in that brief moment.

Not for nothing the deputy director cherishes Jamit.

Sending such Jamit to Galahad—.

‘The deputy director also can no longer do anything.’

Galahad thickly smacked his lips.

“The mission goal?”

First shortly asked.

It was an engagement ceremony where various things were greatly entangled.

Among them the most important—.

“Safely finishing the engagement ceremony is the top priority goal.”

Galahad indifferently said.

“Would not be easy.”

First said while examining the paper Jamit handed. As Galahad nodded, First continued the words.

“First from the kingdom alliance—. here is the place you did a long-term mission? Still looking for you. Even approached the Information Bureau. The obsession is amazing.”

“I confirmed. During the mission used a pseudonym so seems not yet confirmed the name—. that is also soon.”

Jamit supplemented First’s words. At that First grinned and continued the words.

“The magic tower needs no words. Would be bloodshot trying to take you. Because to them would look as the century’s genius who was exiled to the North.”

“If referring to the part organized regarding the magic tower it is fine.”

At Jamit’s words Galahad lightly nodded

“As expected the largest problem is the Amberutan Count and the imperial princess.”

“Seems the imperial princess moved the Amberutan Count. The 3rd Imperial Prince seems followed according to the news of the kingdom alliance participating. Because anxious unable to cause turmoil.”

“There would be a reason.”

At Jamit’s inference Galahad softly nodded.

“Would be a not easy engagement ceremony.”

First fully raised the corners of his mouth. At the two’s reaction Galahad clicked his tongue softly.

Although a successful engagement ceremony is the main goal, that was not all.

“There is also something to do besides that.”

Galahad said while looking around the two.

“Once, one has to pierce the magic tower and the mana stone sales route. There conclude an Information Bureau agreement with the kingdom alliance side, and there is a need to break the 3rd Imperial Prince’s spirit too.”

Everyone’s faces became subtle.

Simply even safely holding the engagement ceremony is difficult, yet there are additional goals so flustered enough.

In the subtle silence—.

“Amazing—!”

First burst loud laughter.

“The time is not ample.”

Jamit organized the materials again. First took Pumpkin and stood right away.

Because ones with thick residual bones, there was no need to instruct something.

They exactly knew what to do.

Then—.

“I······ we···?”

An unsophisticated voice was heard. In the corner two were standing awkwardly. It was Handsome and James. Both faces were pale.

“Ah, will you two also enter?”

“Ho··· it is an honor!”

The two nodded while teary.

****

‘A new Information Bureau.’

Handsome tightly pressed the temples with a kkuk kkuk. It was a matter not even imagined. No, is the Information Bureau something that is erected if saying will erect?

Although Handsome who was lonely being alone in the safe house, it was not that wanted such an unconventional thing.

Then, James roughly inhaled breath. The face was still pale.

“Slowly exhale breath.”

“Huu—. huu—. huu!”

Seeing the tense new recruit James, Handsome somehow became calm.

“I— really newly established the Information Bureau?”

“Seems so.”

“Keueuk—. I did not receive permission from the operation section chief······.”

Permission—. is permission a problem now?

“No need for permission. Because already a new Information Bureau.”

“Ah, newly established the Information Bureau. Isn’t this treason?”

“It is treason.”

The two nodded simultaneously.

A moment of silence continued.

The two’s gazes met. Handsome’s face slowly became pale. Following James’s face became a crying face.

“Oh my god—.”

The two simultaneously dry washed their faces.

“I am still the youngest. Still receiving scolding saying waste grade······.”

James muttered in a teary voice.

Handsome opened his mouth to comfort such James.

“I am a safe house agent. Being assigned to a safe house means the agent life ended, know?”

“Yes. I know.”

At James quickly nodding Handsome’s eyes furrowed.

What this bastard—.

“Newly establishing the Information Bureau. Now how?”

James teared up again.

'Why asking me that—.'

The situation was quite dizzy. However, because there is an unsophisticated kid Handsome rather came to senses.

“One has to do one’s best. If not wanting to die.”

“Best··· best······. Understood.”

James who was softly muttering largely nodded. Those eyes sparkled again.

Soon James said boldly.

“Also know? If succeeding we can also do section chief?”

“Yes, then we become the founding personnel.”

“It is super fast promotion. Good! Let’s work hard!”

As James relieved, this time Handsome became anxious.

“Heard formed a retirement team in the inspection room, fine?”

The inspection room was infamous to the extent even Handsome knows. Forming a team in such an inspection room—.

Although it hit how amazing an agent Galahad is, at the same time worry also rose.

“Would be fine. Our operation section chief said like a habit every day. Sir Galahad is a special agent even the inspection room agents fear.”

Fearing in the inspection room—. although an exaggerated story, Handsome nodded.

“Said once processed inspection room agents in front of oneself. Without weapons—. just with flicking the finger. Every day that sound if only looking at me.”

James who barely calmed looked around.

Other ones had already all left and were none. Only the two were left alone.

“So what do we do now?”

At James’s question Handsome pondered for a moment.

“Because said do what was doing—.”

If what Handsome originally did—.

“Collecting sweet snacks that came out as supply and going to the bar, what from?”

At Handsome’s answer James’s face roughly furrowed.

‘Not sent to the safe house for nothing—.’

The two thought similar thoughts while looking at each other.

****

“The North. A desolate land befitting barbarians.”

The 3rd Imperial Prince wrapped in a gold cloak twisted the corners of his mouth and said.

Although the snowstorm roughly raged as if not wanting the visit, could not pierce his undulating gold aura.

“Imperial Prince—.”

An old man carefully called the 3rd Imperial Prince. Worry was full in the old man’s voice.

“I am different from the older brother.”

Knights with the empire’s emblem engraved were standing following the 3rd Imperial Prince.

The empire’s sword, imperial knights. Behind that the imperial army was long lined up.

It was an appearance as if even waging war. Being able to drag such large troops was thanks to the crown prince seeing a rough appearance before.

The 3rd Imperial Prince was a wolf starved for blood, not a boar whose eyes turned with spirit.

“If saying will shed blood, always welcome.”

The corners of the 3rd Imperial Prince’s mouth twisted. The old man stepped back.

The door of the carriage that was in a nearby place opened, and a gorgeous beauty got off from the carriage. A flower without scent, the imperial princess.

The imperial princess was a woman who originally should have died.

Surviving was amazing.

“Be inside. Because your life is precious.”

The 3rd Imperial Prince said in a warm voice. Amazingly it was sincere.

Because the imperial princess was the justification to cut the throat of the arrogant kingdom alliance that defied the empire.

“Ah, there is a gift to give.”

“Gift?”

At the imperial princess quietly laughing the 3rd Imperial Prince furrowed his eyes.

Accepting the imperial princess saying will go together was because of that use.

Yet a gift—. the 3rd Imperial Prince’s hand itched.

Then, the imperial princess held out something.

“Because seems would match well.”

That was a stylish brooch made of gold.

That it is flashing gold, liked the 3rd Imperial Prince’s heart. The 3rd Imperial Prince particularly liked gold.

The 3rd Imperial Prince pinned the brooch on the seam of the cloak.

That shape was somewhat peculiar.

‘Ribbon shape?’

A mysterious brooch.

The 3rd Imperial Prince passed indifferently.

“Advance.”

The 3rd Imperial Prince’s voice lowly laid.
