Chapter 150 – Assassination Family Raven 2 (9)
Georun Crow began to skillfully take out books from the bookshelf.
And then a map of Spada appeared in front of us, and information about Bergen was also organized.
“This is what I saw. I remember it after seeing the content.”
“I reported it, so the content is almost the same as what Princess Rosette received. Even after they stopped receiving communication from the Crow family, there was no significant difference in the actions of Bergen and his group.”
While Princess Rosette was compiling information about Bergen, I looked at the map carefully.
“The interior of the northeastern slum is not marked in detail. Is this an area off-limits to the public?”
“That’s not true. It’s dangerous for ordinary people to enter, but it has a gambling house and is a place where people live. Still, it was difficult for the lord to manage all of Spada, so he deliberately managed only one area less and collected the bad things. Now, the leader of that area can be said to be The one that can be identified is Burgun, whom Princess Rosette is checking, but his hands are a bit cruel. “
“But you’re saying that the people who flowed there don’t dream of taking revenge on Bergen by risking their lives?”
“That’s right. There are a lot of people who have been harmed, but none of them have any intention of paying the down payment to the Raven family. Those who have nothing left except themselves are the main members of that group.”
It seemed that Georun Crow did not have any information about the demon that was supposedly there.
I found the location of the temple on the map.
Sparda had a temple dedicated to a deity, and if she were to fight a demon, she would be more helpful than a priest serving a goddess.
“Xian, Burgun seems to have some shortcomings to be an assassination target for the Raven family.”
While I was looking at the map, Princess Rosette asked me if she had read all the documents organized by Georun Crow.
“Is that so? Where is it lacking?”
“Most of the people I have authorized to assassinate until now have oppressed people enjoying ordinary daily lives with force and inflicted life-threatening injuries on them. Even if Burgun’s hand is cruel, it can be seen as an act within the same group. .”
Princess Rosette seemed to think that there was no need for us to get involved when people in her alley were fighting and killing each other.
I agree with that thought, so I said as she nodded.
“I see. I understand. Still, I want to check out the northeastern slums for myself.”
“You said there was something stuck earlier, but it still hasn’t been resolved, right?”
“Yes. If we leave it like this, I think something big will happen to Spada.”
“If you say in person, do you think Xian will try to go in?”
“Yes. Nothing bad will happen.”
“Detailed information about the northeastern slums is difficult to obtain even in Spada, so it would be more efficient for you to see it with your own eyes. Then, where do you two plan to stay? You can use this place while you stay in Spada, but you can also go to my house. “
It’s a safe house that would be okay to stay for a few days with a little more cleaning, but if there was another option, I wanted to check it out.
“To that house…”
“From here…”
Princess Rosette and I opened our mouths at the same time, and Princess Rosette nodded her head slightly as if giving in to me.
“I want to take a look at that house and make a decision. You said earlier that you have a fake identity. Can you tell me?”
“Hmm. I’m the husband of a big bar madam next to here.”
Jiorun Crow laughed and told the story about the Pillar West Room.
*
As we walked along Jiorun Crow, we arrived at a two-story house quite far away from the safe house.
The big bar madam and her wife made good money and seemed to be middle class.
When Geo Rune Crow took the key out of her pocket and opened the door, a silver-haired girl came running in with a white dress waving.
“Daddy!!!”
“Daughter!”
She placed her hands between the little girl’s armpits and lifted them above her.
“Kyahahahaha! Dad! Dad! Dad!”
With a big smile, her daughter wiggled her arms and legs, and Geo Run Crow rocked her up and down three times and lowered her to the floor.
Still, he clung to her leg as if he didn’t want to be separated from her father.
“Who are you?”
“The younger brothers that dad knows.”
“Dad, all of your younger siblings have black hair?”
Perhaps it was an excuse used by the Crow family’s intelligence agents every time they stopped by, but the daughter was quite quick-witted.
“Not all of Dad’s younger siblings have black hair. My daughter’s hair is silver, right?”
“That’s right!”
“Esther, won’t you wake mom up?”
“Yes, Dad!”
My daughter, Esther, answered like that and went up the stairs to the second floor.
I thought it was amazing how he slowly climbed upholding on to the railing instead of running.
“It’s nice to see my daughter so bright.”
When Princess Rosette went up the stairs, and she was out of sight, she turned her gaze back to Geo Rune Crow and said,
“She’s just like her mother. My mother gets so energetic when she drinks at night. She should go over there and sit down.”
I came to a place where there was a table and a sofa to sit on, and there was paper and a pen lying around, as if Esther had been drawing here.
I couldn’t say I was good at drawing, but I drew a happy smile between my silver-haired mother and my black-haired father.
The mom’s clothes are roughly drawn, so she looks very thin. She probably goes to work wearing those clothes.
“Does her wife know that Mr. Geo Rune is an intelligence agent for the Crow family?”
“I know. And I also know that this relationship could break down at any time.”
“I see.”
“Did her wife bring the child?”
“Yes. If you have the blood of the Crow family, you can’t raise it here.”
All children of the Raven family and the Crow family had to be tested for Shadow Mastery aptitude at their home.
Even though the test did not end like that, her daughter, Esther, looked less than 10 years old.
“Does the child know that?”
“I know because she is quick to notice. I’ve been watching her since she was in the boat, and she knows it before I know it. That’s why she’s always on guard because I’m afraid she’ll leave when I bring her younger brother.”
When footsteps were heard from above, Geo Rune Crow stood up from her seat.
“I’ll bring you something to drink.”
Princess Rosette, sitting next to me, whispered softly.
“Xian, are there many people from the Crow family with fake identities like that?”
“There is a little bit. As the dispatch period gets longer, there are limits to just collecting information, so I do things that make it easy to access various information.”
The longer you stay in a small town, the easier it is to get suspicious, and the bigger towns were okay because there were just too many people.
However, if you are a bar madam, you will hear a lot of stories on a regular basis, so I think it is a pretty good combination.
“Haaa… Hello.”
When I heard a voice coming from behind me, I got up and turned around.
Esther’s mother wore thin nightgowns, so her voluptuous body was clearly visible, but her face was also a gentle-looking woman.
She staggered over to Geo Run Crow, who was preparing tea for us, and kissed her on the cheek.
“Ada, you need to come to your senses soon.”
“If I just drink one glass of alcohol, I’ll come to my senses~”
“Mom! No alcohol!”
“Hey. There is no one on my side in my house.”
Esther’s mother Ada, who faked crying, drank a glass of water and sat in front of us.
Esther ran up to her and snuggled between Ada’s knees, and Ada sat Esther down on her own knees.
“You said they were my husband’s younger siblings, right?”
“Yes.”
“Please rest comfortably. How long will you be staying?”
“If it’s a short day, I don’t know how long it will be.”
“Yes. Please do so. Could you please bring me Esther’s mother’s clothes? It’s too dirty.”
As she said that, Ada grabbed her thin clothes and shook them with her hands.
Since it was definitely a dress that showed off the outline of my chest, I thought it was not something I would show off to others.
“Long clothes? Got it!”
Esther answered quickly, getting off Ada’s lap and heading towards her stairs.
At that time, Geo Lune Crow, who brought her car, spoke to Ada.
“Actually, it’s not my younger brother, but my older brother.”
“Raven, the older brother of the Crow family? Who dies today?”
“I’m not sure yet. Ada, have you heard anything about the slums northeast of Spada? About the people there.”
“Hmm. The fact that there is a gambling house and the people there are violent? Customers avoid bars because physical contact is at an unpleasant level.”
“Is that so? Anything else unusual?”
That level can be said to be at the level of a drunken mistake, so it cannot be said to be particularly unusual.
“I don’t know. People from the slums don’t come to my bar very often because it’s expensive. Should I ask my brother who works nearby?”
“No. I will visit you in person today. But is it okay to tell this to Georun Crow and Ada?”
“Ada has a heavy mouth even when she drinks. That’s why he’s been living with her for seven years.”
“I don’t talk about what happens at home outside.”
Ada said with a bright smile, but she wasn’t very trustworthy.
“Mom! I brought clothes!”
“Let’s talk.”
Ada got up from her seat and went to change into the clothes Esther had brought.
“Sian, you seem to be constantly concerned about the northeastern slums. Shall I gather some information?”
“If I follow my intuition, this job is very dangerous. Rather than gathering information, it would be better to stay by Rosette’s side and help her.”
“I understand. I will consider the princess my top priority.”
*
I got dinner from Georun Crow, who is good at cooking as befits his undercover status as a Pillar Servant.
Esther was more interested in Princess Rosette than I was because she was of a different gender, and Princess Rosette played with Esther.
This also seemed very bright, as if Princess Rosette had achieved the peace she wanted.
“Esther, stay with your aunt for a while.”
Esther did not respond to Jiorun Crow’s words and was concentrating on drawing.
“You three, please come back.”
Princess Rosette answered for me, and me, Ada, and Georun Crow came out of the house together.
“Usually only Jiorun takes me, but today it’s even better because there are both!”
“Really? Sometimes there are days like this. If something happens, I come right back home.”
“I understand. Please take good care of Esther.”
When they arrived at the bar, Ada shared a deep kiss with Geo Rune and entered the bar waving her hand.
When Ada went into the bar and disappeared, Geo Rune immediately changed her eyes and spoke to me.
“Sian, are you leaving now?”
“Okay. I’ll come back for a bit.”
As I walked away from Georun Crow, I was covered in shadow.
It’s time to check the ominous thing that keeps irritating me.
