Chapter 141 – #31 Hero Coco Pursues the Traitor (2)
Took, toduk.
Shoot aaaaa—
Gray clouds. It was raining from the steel-colored sky.
Sooner or later, even the faint sunlight beyond the clouds will completely disappear and it will become dark.
In the city, it’s time for the sparse streetlights to turn on,
This completely abandoned place is just dark because there are no street lights.
Vroom!
Parking the bike as if to hide it in a back alley where people wouldn’t notice it, Coco cautiously stepped out onto the road.
Crumbling and broken roads here and there.
The streets that were left in disarray during the “Great Disaster” Several years ago were completely devoid of signs of people, leaving only a dead and lonely atmosphere.
Originally, it was a rugged industrial street, and now it is full of collapses and cracks here and there, and it feels as if you are seeing it decades ago.
Ghost street.
Abandoned street.
With that sentiment in mind, Coco moved forward, careful not to step on the rubble.
The location of the spade has already been confirmed.
Exactly where her bike is, I guess.
Spade’s bike stopped at a certain point, and Coco made her way through the rain.
“… It’s hot…”
Entering under the roof of what appeared to be her old bus stop, Coco sidled her rain-soaked hair and unzipped her leather suit.
Pure white bare skin and collarbones visible under the zipper.
Thanks to the leather suit, the rain didn’t seep inside, but I was sweaty quickly, probably because the rain was so humid.
It’s still hot.
It will take a little longer for this rain, which is not so violent, to completely wash away the summer heat.
Rather, this suit is hot.
She felt a bit remorseful, but she said that wasn’t what she was thinking. Coco unzipped her suit again.
Her gray eyes her stare at an abandoned factory in front.
In front of the abandoned factory, Spade’s bike was parked as if he had no intention of hiding it.
It seems too flimsy, but it might be natural since ordinary people don’t come to these abandoned streets in the first place.
‘It’s a different place from where the club came from last time.’
The place where I followed the club the other day was an abandoned building on a different abandoned street.
Coco clearly confirmed the scene where the club conspired with a certain villain in a building that was probably a remodeled inn.
Still, it’s fortunate that he didn’t rush to arrest the scene.
If there are multiple hideouts in this way, it is better for her to let loose a little more and completely check all of her opponent’s hands her.
Spade’s bike, the GPS signal attached to it stopped in front of it, and more than 10 minutes had passed.
I don’t know what the hero Spade was doing here, but I couldn’t waste any more time.
‘I have to rush in.’
As she put magic into her eyes, Coco’s field of vision suddenly widened.
Let’s look at the situation near the abandoned factory with that perspective,
She was able to find several surveillance cameras installed that seemed to be out of order.
‘I can’t follow you without any countermeasures.’
The decision was quick.
“【――――].”
Coco waved her hand lightly in the air, quietly reciting her incantation her.
A clear resonance like the sound of singing melts into the sound of rain.
In the next moment, Coco’s figure also disappeared as if it had melted into the darkness.
But in its place her, Coco’s body temperature and touch her remained intact, and the rain could be seen running down the contours of her body her from under the roof of her bus stop.
Coco hid her appearance her with her own magic her.
Let’s adjust her spell additionally while checking that the appearance of the raindrops is revealed.
Even the slightest sense of incongruity had completely disappeared, leaving only the sight of the empty streets at night.
Without being noticed or caught by anyone, Coco naturally passed through the main gate and entered the abandoned factory.
* * *
‘… Will it be okay?’
Rahe felt uneasy as he picked up the papers on her desk her.
Her beautiful face her seemed expressionless, but it was darkly shaded, recognizable to those who recognized it.
The dossier, which consisted of several sheets of detailed historical data held in her hands her, was Koko’s accusation brought to her by Apple yesterday.
It wasn’t an accusation, it was simply a story about having such suspicions.
Rahe decided to shelve Apple’s claims that came last night.
Coco told the story that she might be an infiltrator of the villain organization [Gippy Rat].
It is also a situation where there is suspicion that Apple itself may be a traitor,
In the first place, this kind of data can be easily manipulated and created with Apple’s skills of his.
Apple himself knows he thinks so,
Still, I feel puzzled when I think of preparing the material in this way.
‘… The story gets complicated.’
Who to trust, who to reject.
As Rahe’s captain, she must judge that part well.
She must be well-thought-out, well-articulated, and not make the wrong choices.
All you need to do that is information.
‘If there had been Aria, I don’t know what she would have become.’
Aria, a member of the 7th division who is currently on a business trip, has a special ability even though she is a C-class.
The reason she is on a long business trip like this is also because of the usefulness of her ability.
【Fortune telling】 and 【Foresight】.
It’s not easy to get the desired kind of foreknowledge because of poor control, but the accuracy of the foreknowledge obtained by doing so is considerable.
However, even that ability would be meaningless if Arya wasn’t here.
Although she requested Aria’s temporary return to her phase observation of her, she is currently on an important mission, so it seems that it is difficult to even contact her.
“Whoa….”
During the day, I had a face-to-face conversation with Club and Spade, and the two seemed determined as heroes. There didn’t seem to be any complaints.
In the eyes of Rahe, who was not a mentalist, he saw nothing but innocent and loyal subordinates who seemed like no one would think of betrayal.
In the end there was no harvest,
All Rahe can do now is wait.
I hope Coco will bring you some useful information.
Or maybe there will be new information that will move things forward.
For now, I’ve sent a message to the headquarters in preparation for any suspicions and contingency, so the worst case can be avoided somehow.
‘… All of this may be biased and misunderstood. That would be the most hopeful thing.’
‘But if someone betrayed….’
‘In the worst case, everyone in the 7th Division except Check is a traitor… Ramen.’
Think.
Think.
Think.
The next step is what you should do and how you can learn the truth.
Think about what is worst for you and how you can avoid the worst.
However, there is one fact that Rahe is unshakable.
That’s–if the only thing the opponent is aiming for is you, That there is no problem.
If someone betrayed you, it doesn’t matter who betrayed you.
It doesn’t matter which organization the opponent who betrayed him like that is.
I just hope that you are the target they are aiming for.
It doesn’t matter if the opponent is a hundred or a thousand, they just want the tip of their spear to be directed at them.
Why… Because Rahe doesn’t support it.
Even if all the members of the 7th division, the villain organization 【Abyss】, and even 【Gittle Rats】 all come rushing in,
Rahe was confident that he would be able to take on them all alone and achieve a leisurely victory.
It’s not like arrogance or conceit.
This was both a certainty and an unshakable fact.
So, hopefully, it doesn’t matter who betrayed you, just point the knife at yourself.
Thoughts get complicated.
I just want the thing called betrayal to end with simple gossip or baseless rumors.
Alas, really.
‘Coco… I hope you find out some good information. And I hope they come back safely.’
Rahe, full of anguish and worry, turned on her computer and checked her mail.
The e-mail she had sent to her boss her, just in case, had already been answered.
* * *
Caan… Caan…
As I climbed the rusty iron stairs, even though I tried to keep my footsteps as quiet as possible, there was a faint, unavoidable noise.
Coco was a little nervous at the sound, but she relaxed a little at her presence, which she didn’t feel nearby yet.
She also dispelled her magic her.
Coco’s ability her is useful, but her magic consumption her is high, so I had to save it as much as possible.
‘Where are you…?’
Inside a quiet abandoned factory.
The light was sparsely on inside, so the visibility was not bad.
Using that light, I carefully examine the footprints left on the floor and move forward… I can’t seem to find the person I’m looking for.
Seeing as Spade’s bike is still parked in front of him, he must not have left.
Puzzled, she climbed the stairs alone and made her way down the hallway.
Inside the warehouse, which is eerily quiet, somehow feels eerie.
Clap—
A pistol is in Coco’s hand her.
With no offensive abilities like her spades or clubs, this pistol was pretty much her only weapon of hers.
I wish I didn’t have to write this if possible.
If she goes head-to-head with Spades, she has no chance against Coco.
At best, she only confuses the opponent and escapes.
She continued to advance nervously, but could hear the sound of chatter and the faint presence of people inside her.
――Spade’s voice….
She uses her magic her again to transform herself into invisible, killing as much of her presence her as possible and moving in the direction of her voice her.
The source of the sound is a closed room.
Through the half-open door, as if tempting, Coco carefully leaned out and examined the situation inside her.
