Chapter 24 – Episode 24 Black Dagger (2)
“Sure, it’s like this. It’s sure to be difficult to wipe out if it comes out like this.”
Having just tortured and killed the ends of the ‘black dagger’, I sighed as I brushed off the blood on the sword.
Because nothing was gained.
Even though it was informal torture in an alleyway, they were genuinely terrified and blew everything they knew.
As a result, the only thing they found out was that they really knew nothing.
The fact that the organization is thoroughly operated as a point organization means that it is scattered and permeated into society.
If you hire an errand boy or a messenger to carry out a mission while hiding your identity, the tail is not easily caught, and even if you are caught, it is only possible to cut it off, and the person caught is no different from a citizen who knows little.
It is far from rooting out the organization even if these terminals are caught every day.
“What did you say these guys are doing?”
“…Usury and prostitution, arms and drug trafficking, etc.”
Verde, who was quietly sitting in the back, muttered quietly.
“How does it work?”
“I am using the end of the ‘black dagger’ or the acting president.”
“What if I get rid of it?”
“It’s no use. That won’t bring out the key figures in the organization and will only create similar businesses elsewhere.”
“What if I keep breaking it until the money line dries up?”
“As the information I’ve already shown you, they have an unidentified source of funds. It’s also difficult to be certain that the business belongs to them. Because they leave it to someone completely unrelated…”
“Hmm, then what about following the flow of money?”
“That, too, was of no use. It was thoroughly dispersed and dispersed, or materialized and then secretly stolen.”
“That’s true. I don’t know who it is, but I made up my mind.”
It is not normal to have such perfect leadership of an organization of this size.
I thought it would be just a matter of getting rid of those who use some strength, but it’s more annoying than I thought.
“Hmm…”
“By the way, can I ask you a question?”
“Huh? What is it?”
“These people you just killed… How did you specify that they were members of the Black Dagger? You seemed to be sure before you tortured them.”
When she pointed to the two dead men, I tilted my head.
“How? Just because you think it’s these guys when you look at it comprehensively?”
“…Yes?”
“What, didn’t you know? First of all, even in broad daylight, the pupils were dilated and there was a faint smell of blood and medicine. Look.”
When I lifted one of the guys with the scabbard, white powder wrapped in paper came out.
Not just one, but several subdivided.
“Carrying around so many drugs doesn’t mean you’re a salesman, right? Besides, his behavior was suspicious. He constantly looked around, licked his lips, and trembled his hands and feet. That’s why I stabbed him for now.”
“…”
Verde admired with her mouth slightly open.
I guess I never thought I would have this kind of talent.
“By the way, what do we do now… Oh, how about conciliating the lower ranks and messengers to our side?”
The lack of cohesiveness and bonding is the biggest drawback of the point organization.
“I’ve already tried that too, but to no avail.”
“Why?”
“How did they know, they cut off the person they pacified like a ghost?”
“Hmm? At which stage?”
“Stage?”
“No, if I had been persuaded, wouldn’t I have been riding little by little and going back to the place where the boss was?”
“Ah, is that what you mean? It’s the terminal.”
“In the end…? You mean you cut the first guy you wooed right away?”
“Yes.”
“How is that possible?”
“If we knew that, we wouldn’t have struggled so much.”
“…”
An uneasy feeling ran up my spine.
“Is it possible that there is a traitor in the Dawning Gold?”
“Absolutely not. That’s all I can say.”
I stared at her pretty face with her eyes wide open as she spoke resolutely, then I let out a sigh and nodded my head.
“Now that you’ve said that, I’ll put off provoking that side for now. We haven’t even drawn an outline of the ‘black dagger’ yet, so we’ll give priority to this side for now. Oh, but if that happens later, you shouldn’t interfere.”
“That will never happen. Never.”
“Then I’m glad. Oh, hold your hand for a moment.”
“…? Yes.”
Grabbing her outstretched, long, beautiful hand, I began to squirm slowly, savoring the touch.
“Um, over there…?”
He smiled shyly as he looked at her with her puzzled eyes.
“Ah, I’m sorry. I have a habit of chewing on something soft when I think about it. This way I can concentrate more. Will you cooperate?”
“…If that’s the case, we will fully cooperate.”
“Oh, really? Then the chest, not the hands…”
“That’s not okay.”
“Ahaha. It looks like a knife.”
I simply gave up on the resolute voice, and after thinking about the ‘black dagger’ for a while, I licked my lips.
“There’s no other way for now. After all, we have to bump into each other…”
If you strengthen your senses with blood, you will be able to easily catch a drug broker.
The problem is that it’s likely that’s all there is to it… But it can’t be helped.
If he had stronger blood than he does now, he would have been able to easily identify the deformed one by checking the other person’s body condition as if he were projecting it from a little distance away, but it is currently impossible.
“At times like this, you should rather relax your mind. Shall we go on a date in that sense?”
“…Yes?”
“Let’s go eat. Are you hungry?”
“No, I… Can I?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’ll work out somehow.”
“Ha…”
For some reason, her eyes as she looked at me were pathetic, but I dragged her hand regardless.
“Can you recommend a restaurant?”
“…Let’s do that.”
Following her guidance, whose voice was weak as if resigned, I moved slowly.
***
Second day of investigation. I caught a few ends of the ‘black dagger’, but as expected, there was no special result.
Rather, the achievements occurred elsewhere.
“Ohhh, do you still have some muscle?”
“Ugh…Ah, even if it’s an intelligence service, basic combat skills are necessary…”
Thanks to being a little closer to Verde, I was able to massage her arms as well as her hands.
“Yeah, but…You’re really good at massages.”
“Isn’t it? I’m really confident in this one.”
The experience of massaging several women is also an experience, but due to the nature of the blood that exerts its power through blood, it was inevitable to be crisp with the human body structure, so wherever I touched it, the stiff muscles loosened as if gently melting and the attached fascia returned to its original place. While shaking his body from occasional pain, he opened his mouth with his eyes wide open as if he felt refreshed.
“Let’s sleep, isn’t it cool?”
“Ahhhhh!”
“Kookuk. Your muscles are so tight~ Is it because you have an office job?”
“That, something like that… Ahhh, I think…!”
Watching her groan happily, I smiled at her and gently touched her upper arm.
“Whatever you’re doing here…”
“Ah, you can do this far. It must be difficult, but thank you.”
“…Shit.”
There is no such thing as a complete iron wall.
Well, because there is a lot of time.
“The food has arrived!”
“Oh, that sounds delicious.”
“The duck stew here is excellent. It retains the flavor of various vegetables and spices.”
We, who had been chatting at the inn/tavern since broad daylight, began to eat the food leisurely as soon as it was served.
“Wahhahahaha!”
“So! I…”
“How are things today?”
“Ugh, because of the damn orcs…”
Of course, it wasn’t just us there.
Inside the spacious hall made of wood, various people were enjoying food and drinks and having conversations.
“…Quite a lot.”
“Mum-mum, yes?”
At my words, Verde covered her food-filled mouth with her hand and widened her eyes.
“Huh? No…”
Hesitantly, she cuts off what she was about to say and looks at her face. It seems that the dark circles have faded in just one day.
Well, since all we do is walk around and eat delicious food, is it like a kind of vacation?
“It’s nice to see you eating deliciously.”
“That’s right. Mumbling…”
At my words, she moved her mouth eagerly while putting on an embarrassed expression.
It’s a really happy look.
“…”
Anyway, the guys who seem to be the end of the ‘black dagger’ keep getting stepped on.
Not just one or two, but quite a few.
Not only here, but also when passing by on the street, I often run into them, so I could guess the size of these guys.
“Hmm…”
I knew that it was useless to touch the lower ends, so I was leaving it alone, but it was just as frustrating. I don’t want to run into an executive even by chance.
Third day of investigation.
“Ahhhhh, it’s cool…!”
“Isn’t it? If we do it this way…”
“Ahhh…!”
A short break right after lunch.
She trembles and lets out her strange moan as she presses her thumb down on her allowed shoulder.
“Anyway, they’re very united. I think this would have hurt normally. Didn’t it?”
“Oh, that’s right…! Ehhh…!”
Her stern and shrewd impression from the first time I met her, where did she go?
“Now, that’s it. How was it?”
“Haaaaa”
As she slumps on a table at a dessert shop famous for her deliciousness, her ecstatic voice sways, her voluptuous breasts, which can be seen even from her clothes, are crushed.
Her narrow back drew a graceful curve, and the shape of her buttocks that came in contact with her chair also changed and became convex and protruding.
“…”
She’s been thinking all along, but you’ve got a nice body after all.
Fifth day of investigation.
Even though she has traveled so many places, she has never looked back in less than a third of the entire ecliptic.
It’s really wide, but it’s so wide.
“Verde. Give me your feet.”
“…Yes?”
After eating a hearty stew and freshly baked hot bread for lunch, her eyes widen at my words, which she finished with a simple beer.
Her lips were smeared with beer foam.
“What do you mean?”
“No, your feet look a little tired. I’m going to give you a massage.”
“Gwa, it’s okay! You don’t have to go that far!”
“There’s no need to be burdened? I’m doing it because I like it too.”
“No, anyway…”
Her face blushes slightly, ashamed to show her bare feet.
“Verde. Imagine.”
“Yes…?”
“It was so cool when you rubbed my shoulders yesterday, right?”
“…Yes.”
As she recalls that time, her face turns ecstatic.
Oh, and now I see that the dark circles are completely gone? Even the skin is shiny, so it looks prettier… It makes me happy just to think that my massage is part of that beauty.
“I can feel that feeling with both legs. Are you still going to refuse?”
“Ah, uhh…!”
A person’s mind and heart can be resistant to pain and pain according to training, but unexpectedly, pleasure is hard to do.
“Well, but… The feet are a little…”
“Ah, that’s because it’s okay.”
“Wow!? Come on, go to sleep…!”
Somewhat forcibly, I lift her leg up and place it on top of her inner thigh. She staggers, her face reddening and holding her center.
“Oh. Your legs are really tight as expected. My ankles are especially stiff.”
Back!
“Huh!? Ehhh…! Don’t you smell me…?”
“Not at all. It only smells good, right?”
“Aww…!”
Biting her lip in her embarrassment, she silently left her legs and began to savor the pleasant sensations of her massage.
“Ah, yes…! That, there. Around the middle of the calf, I love it…!”
“Whoops. Is that so?”
Back!
“Ahhh…!”
She shook her thighs and made a melting sound, then suddenly shut her mouth and started glancing at me as if looking at her.
“Huh? Why?”
“Oh, that, that… That’s just a story. Can I buy you dinner tonight?”
“Suddenly?”
“M-It’s in return for the massage! I thought I’d be sorry if I didn’t do it like this!”
“Umm, I didn’t really want anything in return…”
“Still…”
“…Well, if that makes you feel at ease. There’s nothing you can’t get and eat.”
“Well, really!? Well, there’s a good tavern I know! Both snacks and drinks are delicious!”
“Ohh. Was there such a place? Is it something like a secret restaurant?”
“Yes! I’m sure you’ll be satisfied!”
“I look forward to that.”
After massaging her legs, I researched the ‘black dagger’ until evening, and then we had dinner together.
We were able to spend a relaxing and enjoyable time talking about this and that with alcohol.
The next day, Verde, whom I met again for investigation, began to show a lot of friendliness to me.
