Chapter 67 – The Magic City and the Great Detective
“Don’t worry. We’ll be sure to find Mr. Googlesworth!”
“Thank you..”
Leaving her behind her then, her holy day brought her Charlotte and began her consultation with her.
“Hmm. First of all, let’s look around the traffic lines. Since there are two of us, it would be better if we split up and explore separately.”
“Oh! Great idea! Seongil-gun!”
‘Please go away. I’ll take care of it…’
Seong-il nodded his head and answered while hiding his inner thoughts.
“Then let’s go in opposite directions from here. I’ll go over there!”
Holy Day to teach the right side and speak to Charlotte.
Seeing him like that, Charlotte nodded her head.
“Okay! See you later!”
“Yes!”
Charlotte leaves her holy day and runs away.
‘Why are you running…’
Sighing and shaking her head, Seong-il began to display his ability to respond.
‘First of all… According to the contents of the game, Mr. Googlesworth was secretly stolen by the little girl next door, right?’
After thinking so, Seong-il moved to the house in front of him.
“Hello, little girl?”
“Who… Who are you?”
A cute girl with a stabbed expression.
Seong-il reassured her and began to ask her questions.
“Um! Do you know Yuna unnie right here?”
“…”
A small child who rolls his eyes and evades an answer.
Seong-il took out the lollipops he had prepared for her and said,
“This is a gift. If you answer well, I’ll give you more candy besides this one.”
“Wow!!”
A child exclaiming a cute exclamation and quickly snatching candy.
She quickly took out the candy, put it on, and squirmed.
“Wow! This is so delicious, Mister!”
Seong-il smiles at the kid and asks a question.
“Really? That’s great! Then could you possibly answer my question?”
Saying so, Seong-il shows the candy bundle inside the coat.
Then her child’s eyes began to twinkle with excitement.
“Yes! Are you really going to give me candy?”
“Of course.”
“Then ask!”
“Have you ever seen a brown cat?”
“…”
A child who once again avoids answering Sungil’s questions.
Looking at such a child, her seongil gently induced questions.
“Um! That sister says her family is only that cat. But what’s with that cat that’s gone and it’s so heartbreaking?”
“…!”
A little lady with a sullen expression at the words of such a holy day.
After seeing her reaction, Seong-il was convinced and continued to ask questions.
“If. Not only will she forgive you if you tell her honestly who took her, but she also invites her over to her house so she can play with the cat anytime… Does she not know where she is…?”
“Sorry…”
A little boy with tears in her eyes at the words of her holy day. Seong-il replied as she stroked the child.
“No. Because cute cats are children’s friends. She’ll forgive her if she gives her cat back to her sister. Not to mention she’ll let you play with her whenever she wants!”
“…Really?”
“Then!”
After saying that, Seong-il took out a bag of her candy from her arms and handed it to her little boy.
At the appearance of the candy, the little boy replied by taking the bag of candy from her with a fresh smile as if asking when she had cried.
“Follow me!”
Seong-il follows such a kid.
Upon entering the old house, an attractive brown cat approaches the boy and rubs his face against his leg.
“Nyaang!”
“Hi! Meow!”
A little boy hugging such a cat.
‘Found!’
Sensing that her request had been completed, Seong-il returned to Yuna with her child.
“Ah! Seongil-kun!!”
‘Ah… Did you really boil and eat the firebox of the train? Why is his voice so loud?’
After letting out a sigh of hers, the amount of her annoyance, managing her expression, and then her temper to look at her.
“Ohhh! That cat is Mr. Googlesworth!!”
“Yes. I found it by accident. The lady next door was ‘protecting’ it.”
A holy day where the kid takes care of her words to prevent a situation of being blamed. Looking at him like that, Charlotte replied.
“Ohhh! That’s good news. Hurry up and take Kitty!”
The three enter Yuna’s studio like that.
“Mr. Googlesworth!!”
Yuna greets the cat fiercely.
Seeing her like that, her seongil is the moment she reaches out her hand to her after receiving her cat from her little boy…
“Kyaaak!!”
Mr. Googlesworth scratches Seong-il and runs to Yuna, perhaps feeling fear at the touch of a new person.
“Oops!”
“Oh! Are you okay?”
Yuna panics when she sees Seongil dripping blood from her hand.
Looking at her like that, her Seong-il replied.
“Ah! It’s okay. I have medicine…”
After saying that, Seongil applied the potion he carried in his arms to his hands. Then, with the power of the potion, the wound on his hand healed in an instant.
“Uh?!”
Yuna lets out a moan of shock at the mysterious effect of the potion.
She started asking her Seong-il about her potion.
“What the hell is that potion? How can you injure yourself in an instant!?”
‘Oops!’
Seong-il, who thoughtlessly sprayed her potion, realized that she had done something so stupid, she replied.
“Ah… That… It’s an elixir my parents made.”
“Wow!!! It’s amazing!!!”
“Haha.. Thank you.”
After saying that, Seong-il changes the topic.
“By the way, it looks like our Charlotte Detective Office has finished the request. Do you agree?”
“Oh! Come to think of it!”
While she was distracted by her potion, Yuna realized that she hadn’t given her the congratulations she deserved.
She apologized profusely and took out her pay and handed it to Charlotte.
“Sorry! I’m the curious type..!”
“Ohohohoho! Nothing to say! Please sign the confirmation here…”
“Yes yes!!”
They complete the light procedures and handle the completion of the request.
When all the work was done, Yuna ran to Seong-il and started asking questions about her potion.
“That! The potion! What the hell!!! What!!! Principle is it?!?”
“?!?!”
Seong-il is taken aback by Yuna’s near-mad behavior.
‘Um… What should I do? Let’s just gloss over it.’
“Uh.. I’m also a drug passed down from my parents, so I’m good at the principle..”
“!!!”
“Sorry.”
“No! Then, do you know the recipe? If you don’t know, why don’t you ask your parents!?!”
“That… I don’t know the recipe, and my parents passed away.”
“Ah…”
Yuna looks very disappointed at his words.
Yuna sighed and asked Seongil what ideas flashed in her head.
“Couldn’t you sell that potion to me?”
“!”
“That… That’s a bit.”
Since she was a precious potion to himself, Seong-il felt burdened by her words and expressed his intention to reject her.
Seeing his answer, Yuna earnestly asks for it.
“Don’t do that..! If you can just mass-produce a potion through ingredient analysis, it would be a great help to the world!”
“Ummm…”
At Yuna’s words, Seong-il spits out a silent voice of concern.
Seeing Sungil like that, she thought that there was a possibility, so Yuna started courting him more actively.
“Don’t do that~! If you don’t need the money, I’ll exchange it for something else…”
“No, I don’t really need anything.”
“Hmm. Do you have anything?”
“Yes… Items are not particularly…”
“Um… Did you say that you do work related to the body (?)?”
“Yes. Yes, but…”
“Then, did you have any magic engraving?”
“!!!”
Seong-il was surprised when the answer he was looking for from Yuna suddenly came out. He calmly listened to her beating heart and answered her calmly.
“No.. Magic engraving is too expensive, so I don’t dare to do it..”
“Then shall I do it for you?”
“Eh?! Magic engraving is impossible unless you are a great wizard…”
“Hehe… I’m researching in the workshop to solve that problem!”
“Oh clothes?!”
Seong-il had already learned everything about her research beforehand, but he pretended to be as surprised as possible and let out exclamations in order to elicit her answer naturally.
“If you give me the potion, I’ll reward you with the magic imprint I’m experimenting with! Don’t worry about the side effects! I’ve already tested it on myself and found no side effects!”
“Ohhh!!”
“Of course… It’s still in its infancy, so I can’t imprint anything other than strength and haste, but…”
‘Hayst!?’
Seong-Il suffered a major nose injury to Hyeonmu-Dangju not too long ago due to the absence of Kyung-Gong. Haste that Yuna said to him brought so much excitement.
“Ohh!! I’m very satisfied with that alone! If you do, I’ll give you this potion!”
“Really?!”
“Of course! If I can use Haste, it will be of great help in my future assistant detective work.”
Charlotte also responded excitedly to Sungil’s words.
“Indeed! If Seongil-gun can cast Haste, it will have a great effect on our detective work in the future!”
“That’s right!!”
Yuna gained confidence from their reaction.
She urged the Holy Day and replied.
“Then, the condition for me to receive the potion from Seongil-gun is to engrave the magic on it! Do you agree?”
“Yes yes!!”
Watching the conversation between the two, Charlotte nodded her head and said.
“If Seongil-gun gets stronger, I’ll be comfortable too! I’m in favor!”
To her words, Yuna replied with a smile.
“Of course! However, it takes a total of 5 days to first imprint, and it takes about 2 hours per day. Would that be okay…?”
“I don’t care… How is Miss Charlotte?”
“It doesn’t matter! I’ll give you a special time every day, so please come back safely!”
“Thank you!!”
“In that case! I’ll go back first. I’ll see you at the office!”
“Nep!!”
Yuna smiled brightly at the two of them.
When Charlotte left, she quickly snatched the potion from Seongil’s hand and said,
“Come on! Let’s go quickly!”
“Yes!!”
Seong-il follows her guide and goes to the basement of the studio to get a magic imprint.
‘This seems more like an engineer’s room than a wizard’s workshop…’
Seong-il staring at the strong smell of oil and the gears rolling on the floor. Seeing Seongil’s expression like that, Yuna blushed and said.
“That… Is it a bit dirty?”
“No! It looks like a room overflowing with passion!”
“Haha…”
Yuna tries to get over her shame with a smile. She quickly swept the items that had fallen on the floor to the sides as if sweeping them with a broom, then spoke to Seong-il.
“Would you like to come this way? Take off your top and lie down. It doesn’t hurt, so don’t worry!”
“Yes! Yes yes!!”
Seong-il, full of excitement about finally being able to use magic. He quickly took off her clothes in front of Yuna and moved to the table.
“Oh… Are you feeling well..?”
Seong-il’s strong, muscular body became full of masculinity after polishing color and martial arts.
Seeing his body like that, Yuna blushed.
“Yes? Ah.. Thank you. Haha..”
Seong-il lying on the table after giving such an awkward answer.
As he lay down on the table, Yuna said.
“Let’s get started!”
Then a cold feeling on the back.
‘Hmm. Is it a wet towel?’
Yuna was probably wiping off foreign substances on Seongil’s back prior to engraving.
After thoroughly wiping Seong-il’s back for a long time, she put the strange machine behind his back and started working.
‘It’s hot.’
It’s not particularly painful, but Seong-il frowns as the heat hits his back as if he’s been exposed to ultraviolet rays. Looking at him like that, Yuna said.
“Um! If possible, it’s better to put up with it even if you feel uncomfortable! If you can’t stand it, please tell me!”
“Yes yes! I see!”
“Okay! I’ll continue~”
After working on it for a while, she finally finished it.
“Then! See you tomorrow! Will you be around noon?”
“Yes! Let’s meet after lunch!”
“Hehe.. Okay! I’ll see you tomorrow!”
Seong-il, who finished working with Yuna, moved to the Charlotte Detective Agency with her cheerful mind.
“Oh… The second floor room is pretty nice..?
Seong-il, who opened the door during the day and left only his luggage. After unpacking his luggage after work and looking inside, he exclaimed admiration when he saw that the house was in very good condition.
“Hey… At this level, two shillings a week must not have been a loss…?”
Even though it was a random word to please Charlotte, Seong-il became happy because his choice was the correct one in the end. He cleaned the house, ate a light dinner of sandwiches bought from outside, and went to sleep.
“Then! Miss Charlotte! I’ll be back!!”
“Yes! Come on!!”
On the third day, Seong-il, who had begun to adapt to Charlotte’s childlike tone, greeted her and moved to Yuna’s workshop.
