“You eat well until you’re full….”

 

The sea breeze brushed against my cheeks. 

 

The food piled up like a mountain under the tent has long since disappeared.

 

Most of it was eaten by people who came to the festival, and those who needed it took the rest.

 

Even so, there are still plenty of the King of Squid left. 

 

Wouldn’t Bayford residents share it for a few weeks even if they eat diligently before it goes bad? 

 

It’s completely out of my control, so they’ll probably take care of it. 

 

I sat in the harbor without a boat and looked at the calm sea.

 

The sun is bright above my head, and the vast ocean is wide.

 

When was the last time I went to the sea? 

 

I was so young at the time that I don’t even remember it.

 

Sitting next to me, Louis stretched as I closed my eyes and enjoyed my freedom.

 

“…Can you enjoy your free time like this?” 

 

“We just got rid of the King of Squid. What’s wrong with enjoying leisure time? Senior.” 

 

“That’s why it’s a problem. If the King of Squid is defeated, the contact will come to Bayford City. He will come before lunch at the earliest, and at the latest, he will be here tonight.” 

 

“It’s a good thing that he’s going to come here. Because it will be okay if we catch him in a secret meeting.” 

 

Louis had a dissatisfied look on his face.

 

Of course, there was no other way, so he only sighed as if he had given up quickly.

 

“It would be rather fortunate if he came within today. We just need to deal with it before the day changes and return to the academy by night carriage. Oh, I should pack some calamari when I go. It was pretty tasty.” 

 

Calamari, which has spices such as a mix of Cajun spice and buttermilk, is, in simple terms, slightly spicy fried squid.

 

So it was a problem because my hands kept going.

 

I think it would be perfect for eating as a snack on the way back.

 

“You… Haa, nevermind. Why don’t you ask them to share more if you liked the King of Squid so much? You were pretty good at cooking, too.”

 

“Stir-fried squid, right?

 

“Yes, there was no such dish in my hometown, but where did you learn it?”

 

“There were quite a few situations where I had to do it myself. It’s called survival cooking.”

 

“Have you been to any remote areas?”

 

“It’s something like that.”

 

There was a time when I cooked by myself because I thought I would die if I kept eating cup ramen as it was.

 

I squeezed my tears because the vegetables were quite expensive, but it was cheaper than taking nutritional supplements, so I made one meal a day for a while.

 

“Is your hometown really on the beach?” 

 

“Yeah, did you think it was a lie?”

 

I nodded frankly.

 

Louis laughed and shook his hands. 

 

“I’m telling you. It was a small village where I used to live on fishing. But it’s gone now.”

 

Even though Louis spoke casually, his voice had faint traces of the past.

 

He must have his own circumstances.

 

I don’t know specifically what the situation is.

 

Louis Lepersha of Broken World was nothing more and nothing less than a freak who attacked the Minenbar Library and a traitor who later turned out to be a spy.  

 

However, Louis Lepersha next to me is different. 

 

Because he’s showing a side that didn’t appear in the original game. 

 

He, too, is a human being made of flesh and blood, feels emotions, and has thoughts. 

 

So the words stuck to my throat.

 

Louis’ end in Broken World was not good.

 

It was revealed that he was a spy and was captured by the royal family.

 

Since then, he hasn’t been seen again, but I know very well what will happen to a spy who is caught by an enemy country.

 

I didn’t think much at the time.

 

The NPC, which has not enough line, had nothing to do with me whether hostile forces were captured and interrogated.

 

But now.

 

Even though it’s just for a short time, it’s quite bitter when I think of Louis Lepersha, with whom I shared the joys and sorrows facing the same end as in the game days.

 

It was to the point I hated it.

 

I can hate Louis, but I can’t hate him.

 

That’s why I didn’t want to see Louis being caught as it is.

 

“Senior, stand by my side.”

 

Even when I thought about it, I thought it was a sudden thing to say. 

 

But Louis shrugged his shoulders as if he knew it. 

 

“I’ve never thought you would directly tell me to betray my country. But it’s later than expected.”

 

“I guess you were expecting it.”

 

“Are you thinking of making me a double spy? Otherwise, there would have been no need to keep me alive until now.”

 

That’s correct.

 

When I didn’t deny it, Louis cast his gaze toward the horizon.

 

“You brat, if you ask me to stand by your side now, how can I refuse when you’ve caught my weakness?” 

 

“That’s true.” 

 

“Still, if you ask me on purpose, it means you’ll give me time to think about it.”

 

“I can’t give you too long, but it doesn’t matter if you think as much as you want.”

 

I was convinced while catching the King of Squid. 

 

Louis Lepersha doesn’t kill me.

 

Not because he can’t kill me, but because he doesn’t want to.

 

Only that part can be trusted.

 

So I decided to give him as much time as he trusted me. 

 

Louis just nodded silently.

The sea breeze comes with the waves.

 

Louis Lepersha sat alone on the pier, staring at the horizon.

 

“Even if I think about it, the answer is already decided.” 

 

The words he said casually are sincere. 

 

Realistically, if he doesn’t work with Theo Agrit, it wouldn’t be strange if he were executed tomorrow.

 

Information manipulation and other lies may make it possible to get out of the situation, but there is no guarantee of complete success.

 

In the first place, the opponent knew about the Five Star Sword, one of the secrets of the Karmut Federation.

 

The very idea that deception will work well against such an opponent is nothing but optimism.

 

In the end, Theo Agrit has control over Louis Lepersha’s life and death.

 

Not only did Louis have no choice but to follow if he didn’t want to die, he said that he would help him regain the trust of his homeland instead of informing Tekat Kingdom of Louis’ wrongdoings.

 

At that point, it was already fully predicted that Theo Agrit would use Louis Lepersha as a double spy.

There are two options.

 

Whether he keeps a hostile relationship that he doesn’t know when he’ll be reported without working together like this or betrays his country and joins hands with him.

 

“Is it right to abandon my home country?” 

 

He said it aloud, but he didn’t feel even a bit of regret.

 

Because patriotism didn’t exist for Louis Lepersha in the first place. 

 

Otherwise, there is no need to call it the motherland instead of the country. 

 

It is irresistible that the scenery of his hometown comes to mind when listening to the relaxing sound of waves.

 

His hometown, which lived off the fishing industry, was a village that would disappear if the fishing industry collapsed.

In fact, Louis’s hometown quickly fell apart as water temperatures rose and the fishing industry went out of business. 

 

Except for the size, it was not much different from the city of Bayford.

 

Some left the village, but there were also those who couldn’t bear to leave.

 

Louis’s family belonged to the latter. 

 

That’s how he protected his hometown. 

 

He asked for help from the borough and endured day by day, waiting for help to come one day.

 

He starved every other day, and gradually the number of people around him who didn’t move increased.

 

No one came to help until the whole family collapsed. 

 

The northernmost part of the Karmut Federation, where outsiders don’t even know their names, was unimportant to those in power.

 

By the time the borough came to help after a while, the survivors were counted on one hand.

 

Louis was trained as a spy because he was one of the few survivors and had nowhere to go.

 

That’s all.

 

He has nowhere to go, so he has been living as a spy under the orders of his home country. 

 

In the process, he had no feelings of patriotism or grace. 

 

If the Federation had paid attention in the first place, his hometown wouldn’t have disappeared, and his whole family wouldn’t have been starving.

 

The Karmut Federation used Louis, and Louis only used the Karmut Federation. 

 

“In that sense, that guy who cooked for me without a price is much better.” 

 

If he didn’t pass the training properly, he couldn’t even get a meal.

 

Helping someone free of charge and preparing meals himself was a luxury.

 

But yesterday and today, Louis Lepersha helped Bayford City.

 

Even though it’s not his choice, the facts remain the same.

 

Didn’t he move completely of his own accord when he reached Theo Agrit? 

 

“Because he’s the one who doesn’t understand.” 

 

With the expression that everything is annoying, he doesn’t know what he’s thinking.

 

He seems to be cranky to others, but he is kind, and he refuses to do troublesome things, but he tries to solve the problem, and he seems to have no interest in wealth and power, but he is happy and sad about private things. 

 

It’s an opponent that he doesn’t understand, but he would rather be on that side.

 

This choice is better than the Federation, which uses and throws away spies like they are disposable.

 

“Looking at it this way, I don’t even have to think about it.”

 

It’s not a win-or-lose comparison from the beginning.

 

Then, the only thing left was where the mind leaned.

 

Even that was already lean, so Louis Lepersha only stared at that horizon.

Meanwhile, the mayor’s office in Bayford City.

 

The office had beautiful decorations and a view of the port city.

 

The middle-aged man sitting in a leather chair in a room that was more about beauty than function had a strict look.

 

Compared to his young age, the black suit paired with deep wrinkles, sharp eyes, and slicked-back hair gave off a dignified and heavy atmosphere.

 

A man in a suit named Liam Duncan, who was the mayor of Bayford, asked while holding a fine cigar.

 

“It’s noisy outside. Captain of the Defense.”

 

“Yes, after checking, the King of Squid was dealt with early this morning. And a festival was held to commemorate it—”

 

“Deal with it?”

 

“We also checked the body. It’s certainly the King of Squid. The suspended fishing industry, as well as passenger boat operations, are scheduled to resume within today.”

 

“Tsk. How troublesome.”

 

Liam Duncan rose from his seat without even looking at the Captain of the Defense.

 

He took the whiskey from the fancy cabinet and poured it into a crystal glass.

 

A clear brown liquid splashed in the glass along with the sea outside the window.

 

Liam Duncan savored whiskey.

 

The deep sweetness and soft feeling in the throat seemed to represent the value of alcohol.

 

The whiskey he sipped lightly was a special blended malt whiskey made with Scotch whiskey from the Karmut Federation and Horian whiskey from the Tekat Kingdom.

 

Although it is culturally popular among enthusiasts, there is not much supply due to its unusual casting method.

 

Thanks to this, the value skyrocketed, but Liam Duncan insisted on this whiskey.

 

Either way, as long as the results are good.

 

In order to climb to a higher place, there is no need to distinguish enemies and allies.

 

Isn’t it as good as whiskey in his hand that mixes well?

 

“I’m really in trouble. A Federation contact will be in port soon. It’s a big problem. Isn’t that right, Captain?”

 

The Captain of Defense didn’t answer back.

 

Liam added, not expecting an answer from the start while cutting off the end of his cigar.

 

“Do whatever it takes to get the contact.”

 

“Yes, I’ll make sure to catch him.”

 

The Captain of the Defense bowed his head and left the office.

 

It wasn’t until the door was closed that Liam sat in a chair and lit a cigar.

 

A cigar and a sip of whiskey.

 

As he enjoys the two luxuries in turns, his thoughts get deeper.

 

Liam was already well aware of the spy from the Karmut Federation entering the country via Bayford.

 

He is just turning a blind eye because the Federation gives him money, power, and supplies.

 

However, Liam was not satisfied with that.

 

So, as soon as he found out that the spies were planning to commit a terrorist attack on Estero Academy this time, he even concocted a plan to assassinate his political enemy.

 

Of course, it’s dangerous.

 

If this fact is discovered, it is to turn not only the Tekat Kingdom but also the Karmut Federation into enemies.

 

Even so, he doesn’t intend to quit.

 

In order to make sure he assassinated his political enemy, he planned to deal with the Federation’s contact first.

 

If he just gets rid of the contact, the assassination of the enemy can be completely wrapped up as the Federation’s evil deed.

 

“I must catch….”

 

Otherwise, it was he who was dealt with.

 

Liam Duncan muttered as he savored the remaining whiskey in his glass.
