Chapter 31: 30

“….”

 

Louis’s gaze stung my cheek.

 

Either way, the pockets were really thick.

 

Satisfied with the weight of gold coins and all kinds of equipment in my pocket, I turned my gaze to Louis, who was still glaring at me.

 

“Are you so dissatisfied with taking the assets of your home country without permission?”

 

All the money and equipment in my pocket belong to the spies.

 

Of course, it was none of my business, so I brought it all, saying I’d manage it.

 

If you’re going to peel it off anyway, you should peel it off and eat it without leaving a speck of dust behind.

 

“How did you do that?”

 

“What?”

 

“How do you have the five-star sword? You’re not really a messenger from the country, are you?”

 

The answer returned was unexpected.

 

I guess he doesn’t care that much about me stealing the activity money.

 

Or it bothers him so much that I had the Five Star Sword of the Karmut Federation.

 

Well, it’s not strange to be surprised.

 

The spies immediately bowed their heads to me because of the uniqueness of the five-star sword. 

 

It is an object whose existence itself is not known externally, and even if its existence is known, its form is a confidential matter, so it is not easy to forge it.

 

To put it simply, it is the same as the horse requisition tablet of the secret Imperial palace.

 

First of all, if I pull out a horse requisition tablet while saying that I am a secret agent, I have to get down on my knees right away before suspecting forgery. 

 

Of course, the Five Star Sword I have is an imitation. 

 

No matter how confidential it is, the five-star sword was also an item that could be obtained in the Broken World.

 

As a failed game with only graphics and OST as its strengths, I know what it looks like, thanks to the detailed implementation of the five-star sword. 

 

So I forged it. 

 

Even if I told him the truth, it wouldn’t matter because I know Louis’s weakness, but—.

 

“Oho, can you be rude to the messenger in your country?”

 

“….” 

 

Louis bit his lip.

 

The way he only rolls his eyes here is similar to when I discovered he was a spy.

 

It’s a problem because it’s fun to tease this human being as a spy.

 

“Do you think it’s possible? If I were a messenger of the country, Senior would have already been dismissed.” 

 

“…You, you…”

 

“Even if you ask, I won’t explain it. You’ll get hurt if you know it. Keep doing it. Isn’t killing unnecessary curiosity also a specialty of spies?” 

 

“…As expected, it’s annoying.” 

 

Louis grumbled. 

 

Seeing that he doesn’t ask more, a spy is a spy no matter what. 

 

“What are you going to do now? It’s only a matter of time before it gets caught. If that happens, I will be executed as well.”

 

“I guess so. Because it’s Senior who brought me.”

 

“If the contact comes to the regular report, it’s over. Do you know that?” (t/n: 연락책 or contact is someone you know in an organization or profession who helps you or gives you information.)

 

“That’s why I do this. What if I don’t know?”

 

Louis glared at me with a dissatisfied expression.

 

I actually knew there was contact with the spies.

 

The time limit is a week at the longest, as they’ll soon find out that I’m a fake if they contact the local spies.

 

“Then it’s enough just to cut off the contact. What are you so worried about?”

 

“If that were possible, would it be like this? No one knows who the contact is. Every time, the selection of the person and the contact method changes. But to cut it off is nonsense.” 

 

“Seeing that you’re nervous, you must admit that you’re on the same boat.” 

 

“…I’m really annoyed, but can’t I just stab you and run like this?”

 

What if you said it in front of me?

 

First of all, it’s nighttime now, so if I tried, I’d be stronger, but—.

 

“Don’t fret because I have plans. I have some plans to help Senior regain the trust of your home country, so you just need to follow them quietly.” 

 

I can’t let my precious little double spy training plan fail.

 

But time is what matters.

 

It’s hard to go out on weekdays, but it’s even more difficult to make time because the number of days in attendance is tight. 

 

“Let’s finish it within the weekend.” 

 

So, the time limit is from now, which is Friday night, to Sunday night. 

 

It’s a little over 48 hours, but that’ll be enough.

 

“Let’s start right away.”

 

I have already laid out what I need to do in my head.

 

After I said that, Louis frowned and asked again.

 

“Let’s go? Where…?”

“We’re arrived.” 

 

I opened my eyes to the polite coachman’s voice.

 

After sleeping in the carriage, my whole body is sore.

 

When I stretched myself, I groaned automatically.

 

“Ugh…” 

 

My joints make a noise.

 

It wasn’t a very pleasant experience to ride in a carriage for hours. 

 

So I woke up early thanks to the uncomfortable sleep.

 

“Thank you for driving.”

 

I gave the coachman a generous tip and got out of the carriage.

 

I closed my eyes for a moment in the swarming sea breeze.

 

Soon after, the emerald sea spread widely in front of me when I opened my eyes again.

 

“Here, Bayford.”

 

The city of Bayford, west of Esset.

 

This is a huge port city that has been called “the warehouse of the palace.”

 

It is not for nothing that it is known as the palace’s warehouse, as it is responsible for 60% of the total fishery in the Tekat Kingdom. 

 

Because of that, it is such an important city that the King directly appoints the mayor of Bayford. 

 

Thanks to this, the city of Bayford developed greatly, and not only the sea but also the view of the city from a distance was beautiful.

 

“To stay up all night and come to Bayford….” 

 

Louis, who followed me, loosened his joints and grumbled.

 

“I guess this is your first time staying up all night.” 

 

“What, I just do as much as I can ignore it.” 

 

“More than that, did Senior stop over Bayford?” 

 

Louis looked at the city of Bayford and shook his head.

 

“I was a special case, so I took the other route. This is the normal infiltration route, including contacts.”

 

Now he’s casually revealing the secrets of the Federation. 

 

Actually, I already know even if he doesn’t tell me—.

 

The safest and most secret way to get to the federal port in the east is to depart from Bayford, change ships in the southern port city, and make a few stops along the way.

 

If you use multiple disguised identities while transferring, and if you transfer outside of Tekat, the way to track it is limited—.

 

Anyway, the important thing is that contacts will come through this route.

 

All I have to do is find the contact person and attack first in advance.

Therefore, we entered downtown Bayford together.

 

Downtown Bayford was dense.

 

As the port was developed, it seemed like other facilities did the same.

Most of them were made of brick so they wouldn’t rust in the sea breeze, and it was hard to find buildings made of wood or metal that could be broken easily. 

 

Other than that—the city was strangely dead.

 

In the game, the city, which should always be busy auctioning sea products and making noise because of its busy operations, was as quiet as death.

 

It’s not that the atmosphere is gloomy.

 

It had sunk into the sea and was submerged.

 

“…The atmosphere is strange.”

 

Looking around, Louis hinted.

 

There were no stalls in the shops, and ships large and small were anchored in the port. 

 

It seemed that the operation itself was not working. 

 

“It’s certainly strange.”

 

Let’s inquire before the contact arrives.

 

Should we ask until the contact gets here? 

 

While I was thinking about that, I heard a weak cat cry from the back of the alley.

 

When I turned around, a skinny cat was cautiously approaching us.

 

It reminded me of Choco when I saw it lying down in front of us. 

 

I set aside the food separately so that it can eat on its own—well, it’s smart, so I shouldn’t worry too much about it. 

 

Rather, worrying about Choco getting into an accident is not enough.

 

Anyway, that side and this side are the same bundles of hair.

 

I carefully picked up the cat and gave it to Louis.

 

“Take it with you for a moment.”

 

“Hey? Hey!”

 

I went to a nearby restaurant with Louis, who was confused and holding a cat. 

 

Only flies were flying inside the store, and even when customers came in, the store owner sat at the counter with a depressed expression.

 

“Can you grill a fish?”

 

“These days, the fish are not caught, so it is very expensive.”

 

“How much is it?”

 

“50,000 gillings for a small one. There’s nothing big.”

 

50,000 gilling…?

 

When calculated roughly, 1 gilling is 1 won, so it is said that one grilled fish costs 50,000 won.

 

Somehow, even when a customer came in, the store owner didn’t respond much.

 

At this price, most customers would leave the store with a backstep. 

 

It was definitely a crazy price, but— well, who cares. 

 

It’s not even my money that’s in my pocket right now anyway.

 

“Then one, please. Please don’t season it.”

 

“You seem like a foreigner, but you’re unique…are you going to eat before you go?”

 

“No, please pack it.”

 

The store owner went into the kitchen.

 

Soon after, he returned with a grilled fish that looked like a sardine.

 

I paid 50,000 gillings and brought out the grilled fish to find Louis.

 

Meanwhile, Louis was sitting on a nearby bench.

 

It must be hard for him to keep holding the cat, so he put it down next to him. 

 

“What kind of grilled fish?” 

 

“It’s not Senior’s share, so give up.” 

 

“Who asked for it!?” 

 

I ignored it and put the fish flesh on the cat.

 

After sniffing it a few times, the cat began to eat the grilled fish with a yum-yum sound.

 

No matter how hungry it was, it happily licked its lips after eating one whole. 

 

Meow.

 

The drooping cat came down from the bench and rubbed itself at my feet. 

 

It’s different from Choco, and it’s quite cute, so I stroked its fur, and a girl came running from afar. 

 

Then she snatched the cat and hugged it tightly.

 

“You can’t take it. It’s my family.”

 

It was a very disturbing voice.

 

So I bent my knees and put myself at her eye level.

 

“I don’t think so. Especially if it’s your family.”

 

If you don’t have the confidence to take responsibility, you don’t take animals with you.

 

I’m already pretty tight with Choco, so I don’t plan on adding more.

 

“I was just giving it some food because it seemed hungry.”

 

“Food…” 

 

The child spoke weakly.

 

At the same time, the child’s stomach rumbled loudly.

 

The child probably felt embarrassed and covered her stomach with a cat. 

 

It didn’t hide the sound though.

 

I looked at the child slowly.

 

Her short black hair was dry, her eyelids quivering thinly, and she looked weak as if she would collapse at the slightest blow. 

 

A grilled fish in a restaurant costs 50,000 gilings. 

 

If I see an auction that isn’t open or a stall that has been removed, there must be a problem with the operation itself. 

 

It will be difficult for not only cats but also children to take care of their meals.

 

“We haven’t eaten yet. If you don’t mind, can you introduce me to some delicious restaurants? Of course it’s not free. I’ll buy you a meal for your trouble.”

 

“But we haven’t been able to catch any fish lately… It’s expensive everywhere….” 

 

“It’s okay. We have a lot of money.”

 

I deliberately shook the money bag.

 

The gold coins inside collided with each other and jingled pleasantly.

 

“That’s our activity money…!”

 

Louis whispered in my ear.

 

But that was none of my business.

 

“It’s too much to just buy food for the child. You have no blood or tears, right?”

 

“T, that’s…” 

 

“If Senior notice something, you can roughly guess what the situation is like here. But are you picking a fight just one meal?” 

 

“…Do what you want, you shameless.” 

 

Hmm, he is willing to let me. 

 

Actually, I would ignore it even if he didn’t allow it. 

 

“Still…” 

 

The child was still worried. 

 

Just in time, the cat that the child was holding twisted and ran away at my feet.

 

Then it wrapped its tail around me and groaned pleasantly. 

It was a sign of trust.

 

The child nodded her head as she change.

 

“Then this way.”

 

When the child took the lead, the cat then stood next to the child.

 

Like Choco, aren’t most animals in this world smart?

 

Animals are better than humans—.

 

“What are you looking at?”

 

“It’s nothing.” 

 

I followed in the footsteps of the child with Louis, who still looked unhappy.

 

Now let’s find out what’s going on in this city.
