C78: Iron Feet Seridan (2)

Sorry it took so long but I’m back. I wanted to resume releases last week but I’ve been super busy these past 2 weeks. Now I’m finally free so I hope to release 3 chapters daily this week.

There were still ten minutes left until Seridan will fix the wire launcher.

Considering her personality......Perhaps she’s got another flashy idea, and she’ll add extra features.

She said 10 minutes, but considering the process, it would probably take 30 minutes.

‘If it’s 30 minutes, I still have time.’

It’s time to get some rest and then go back to Theon, he thought, as he looked down from the window on the third floor.

‘What?’

Three black shadows were busily moving in the middle of the alleyway where no one was going. Second to their inconsistent movement, their steps are unusual.

‘It’s fast and light, well centered and their body doesn’t sway.’

It was just a coincidence that I found them. Their movements were so secret that I would not have noticed if I hadn’t looked down the window at the moment. They were covered in dark robes so I couldn’t see them clearly, but I knew who they were right away.

‘Highly trained knights.’

They were also of a different level compared to the two quasi knights who were working for Dutri.

Ordinary knights wouldn’t even be interested in the back alley, so why are they here? Besides, the direction they are heading is not the place where I and Violetta were fighting the Red Society just before.

I narrowed my eyes and watched them carefully.

‘If you are a knight and are not afraid to wander around a place like this.......’

No way.......

The moment when I was about to come to a conclusion the knight who was moving at the forefront stopped his steps and threw his gaze towards me but I hid by the window.

‘Did he notice?’

I was watching them carefully, but he has a better sense than I thought. Fortunately, the gaze that had been staring at me for a while was quickly removed.

‘......The security bureau.’

To be precise, the Nightcrawler Knights belong to the Intelligence Department of the Security Agency.

Unusual people who move secretly contrary to the knights who stand on a shining stage where everyone is watching and do honorable things.

The Nightcrawler Knights eliminate those who threaten the nation in a dark place out of the sight of people. A being that willingly chose and accepted to walk a path stained with blood and mud for the sake of the country.

Therefore, they are a symbol of fear and a target of caution to those who know. They are also the most dangerous people to meet in such a dark and narrow street than on a highway in broad daylight.

‘When I looked a little while ago......At first glance, it looked like silver hair.’

When it comes to knights with silver hair in the Security Bureau of the Exilion Empire, there is one person that comes to mind.

‘No way......Is she here?’

The general commander of the Security Bureau and the commander of the Nightcrawler Knights, which consists of only elites, a guardian angel who protects the empire, Lord Protector Trina Ryanhowl.

‘Why is she here? Maybe it was because of the werewolf incident.’

He vaguely guessed.

The reason is probably the death of the cryptid, who appeared in Leathervelk, and the rich man, Bellbot Rickson.

The Security Agency’s intelligence network would have learned that Bellbot Rickson had partnered with someone to conduct some kind of experiment since their eyes are spread all over the empire.

‘Even so, the Nightcrawler Knights will come out on their own.’

After all, they conducted human body experiments on ordinary citizens. Even a warlock was involved, so it would be strange for them not to come out of the security department.

‘They should have investigated Bellbot Rickson’s mansion and discovered the secret safe that had been stolen.’

They must have even noticed that the flames in the basement of the abandoned factory that I had burned down.

Everything inside was removed without leaving a trace, but the problem is that no matter how much fire burned, the fact that ‘something was there’ cannot be erased.

They may have launched an investigation in response to that. This is a bit of a problem since knights of the Security Agency, even the knight commander are in Leathervelk.’

In particular, Trina Ryanhowl was not a very good match for me. That monstrous woman is one of the few things I don’t want to get involved with again in my life.

‘I’m glad I hid.’

If our eyes met and she had sensed something suspicious she would have come to me.

‘It must have been a big deal because that woman has a very strong intuition.’

I have no choice but to move cautiously until the Security Agency decides that the case is a dead end and leaves Leathervelk.

‘First of all, I’m glad I don’t have to step on my tail.’

They probably will close the investigation however if Trina Ryanhowl continues to stay in Leathervelk that might not be the case.

She held a prestigious position in the Empire and if she wastes her time trying to catch the tail of an unresolved case, it will open a big hole in the security of the empire.

‘Maybe she’ll leave some of the knights behind.’

If that’s the case, that’s fine, without the leader Trina, I’m confident that I can avoid their gaze, no matter how good they are.

As I was thinking about it, I heard a thumping noise from below and the door was open. Soon after, Seridan appeared with a stick in her arms.

“I made it!”

“As expected! Nari knows well! That coward who was downstairs was only talking nonsense like that you shouldn’t put such a dangerous thing in it.”

“Don’t be too harsh on Hans. He only said that because he’s worried.”

“Your opponents have to worry about it, not you.”

As Seridan said so, she supported her chin with her index finger and thumb and stared at me with a mysterious gaze.

“Well, I’ve always felt this way, but you look really nice in such a calm-looking outfit. It was not bad to wear wild clothes when you were a hunter, but I think this suits you better.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. The moment I saw you, I immediately felt that you were a noble person. No, a nobleman is not enough, you look like royalty.”

At Seridan’s words, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“I’m glad you think so.”

“No, I have a feeling.”

“Anyway, thanks for the new one.”

“Oh, you’re leaving now?”

“Yeah. I have to be a teacher first, so I have to stay at the academy. Coming out today was part of my outing.”

“That’s too bad. It’s been a long time since we met, and I thought we could have a long chat!”

“I’ll take a rain check on that since we haven’t all gathered yet.”

Besides Sheridan, there are a few more I have called.

Sheridan nodded gladly, perhaps because she knew it.

“I know! They’re members of the new organization, right? People I’ve heard of!”

“Yes.”

“Did you say the name of the new organization is U.N.Owen? Very mysterious, I like it because it suits you! So I became a member of this secret organization?”

“An executive.”

“Executive!”

Did she like her position as an executive? Her eyes sparkled even more.

“If I’m an executive, I can make anything without being interfered with by anyone, right?”

Was it because of that?

“I’ll allow it for a while, but won’t you refrain from making bombs that will blow up the surrounding area?”

“Of course I know that! I also know how to read between lines. You’re telling me to make enough bombs.”

“It’s best not to make them at all.”

Well, banning this crazy inventor would be crueler than forcing a bone marrow smoker to quit.

“Just do it in moderation.”

“Hehehe. Don’t worry about it! So Nari, have you decided on that?”

“What do you mean?”

“If it’s a secret organization like this, there must be a code name!”

A code name? She must have heard something from somewhere.

I didn’t really care much about it but seeing Seridan like that I know she’ll be disappointed if I don’t agree with her. If that happens, Hans won’t be able to handle her irritation.

“A code name?”

Well, there’s nothing you can’t name if you want.

“Wells would be nice.”

“Huh? Wells? That’s a good codename. Good! I’m Sheridan, the executive of U.N. Owen, from today!”

I’m glad she’s happy.

“Where did this Wells come from?”

“It’s the name of the greatest inventor I remember.”

“Oh, if you say so, he must be a great man.”

“Of course.”

He is the creator of a machine that travels through time. The name Wells I gave her is from Herbert George Wells, the author of the novel Time Machine.

In fact, I wanted to give her the name of the main character of the Time Machine novel, but the original story only mentions time traveler not his name. However, in the sequel that was officially recognized, George, the artist’s middle name, was attached to respect the original author.

But George is not a good codename for a girl so I gave her Wells instead of George. Seridan seems to like it, so everything is good.

“Then what about the assistant lying down there? Does the assistant have a code name too?”

Seridan asks with a twinkle in her eyes. She seems to be bothering him all the time, but did she still care about Hans?

Considering Hans characteristics his codename should be...

“Kafka.”
