Chapter 80 – The Magic City and the Great Detective
However, Charlotte shook her head violently in response to Elysia’s modesty.
“You’re welcome! The taste is really great!! Ms. Elysia! I really like Ms. Elysia’s cooking skills, so would you like to work with me!! I think it would be obvious!!!”
“Of course! As long as you ask for permission…”
“Passed!! Passed!! Hapgyeok!!!!”
Charlotte notified Elysia of her acceptance in a vehement tone.
Naturally, Seong-il, who agreed with her opinion, also nodded her head and agreed with Charlotte’s opinion.
“Oh my~! Thank you! When can I go to work..?”
“Um! It would be nice if you could come as soon as possible!! When will you be able to do this!!”
“Huh… For the time being, if I go to work in the form of commuting, I’ll be able to go to work from tomorrow. But…”
“But…?”
“I have to prepare for moving during the commute/commuting period.. Until the move is completed, I think I will have to do either maid or office work…”
“Aha!!”
“Because it’s not easy for a woman to move alone. Will it be okay…?”
“Of course you can! It takes time to adjust to work, but that’s about it! And!!”
“And…?”
“Our assistant detective Seong Il-gun can help Miss Elysia move out!!!”
‘Fuck? This year…?’
Her holy days glaring at her, embarrassed by her Charlotte’s attitude to pampering herself as her last man without her consent.
Looking at his expression, she responded by shaking her hand as if she was sorry for Elysia.
“No..! It’s a bit of a hassle to Seongil from the beginning… The same goes for the expression right now..”
‘Oh!!’
Her Seong-il, stunned by Elysia’s words, began to make her excuses to her, quickly managing her expression.
“No!! As a detective’s assistant to the famous detective, of course I have to help my new colleague!! Don’t worry about moving!”
“Oh my God…? Really…? Then I will bring a little light luggage every day. Could you help me with the movers this coming weekend…?”
“Yes? Yes…”
“Whoa..! Thank you! I’ll pack the luggage well, so please take care of loading and unloading the magic wagon!”
“Yeah! Mm… Of course!”
Although he was reluctant, Seong-il was dried up by Charlotte and Elysia’s pace. He had no choice but to reply that he would help her move on his golden weekend, swallowing his bloody tears.
‘Damn it…’
Charlotte stood up and patted Seong-il on the back, shouting at Seong-il, who was desperately holding back from wanting to cry and forcing himself to smile.
“Wow!! Seongil-gun!! To move in with a beauty like that on the weekend!! It’s almost like a date!! I envy you!! I envy you~~!!”
‘You’re really… Let’s see.’
Seong-il is on fire at Charlotte’s words and actions that fuel the burning house. He hid his feelings and replied with a desperate smile.
“Aaaaah!! That’s right!! Wow…!! This is such an honor!? Ahahaha!!”
Elysia answered with a slight blush on her face, whether or not she knew his feelings.
“Oh, what embarrassing words… Huhu…”
“Ohhhhh!! Youth is such a good thing!! Ohhhhh”
‘Ha… If others see you, you’ll think you’ve reached 50… You’re at least the same age as me…’
After Charlotte’s salting, Seong-il fails to manage her expression and glares at her from behind.
Elysia smiled brightly as if to soothe her holy day, and she spoke to him as if she were charming.
“Oh, really, I don’t think it would be bad to go on a date with Assistant Detective Seongil on the day the move ends.”
“To…?”
Seong-il is taken aback by her sudden dash.
And Charlotte who encourages it
“Ohhhhh!! Look at that!! Seongil-grilled!!”
Seong-il’s annoyance still didn’t cool down, but as the two beautiful women continued to pat him, his anger gradually faded, and eventually he answered them with a grin.
“Haha!! Just trust me!!”
Next day
“Ssssscha!!”
“Miss Alicia! Would you mind giving me your luggage?”
Elysia, who packed her belongings in the magic taxi (..) She boarded to go to work. Seong-il picks up her luggage and goes to her room on the second floor.
“Even if our salary is pretty decent, taking a taxi to and from work would be a little burdensome.”
“No~ I have to invest this much to work with the great detective~”
“Yes. That’s right. To partner… Huh? What? Partnership?”
Seong-il feels a chill run down his spine at the unexpected words Elysia uttered. He turned and looked down at Elysia from her steps.
“Why…?”
Elysia looks up at her holy day with an innocent expression on her beautiful face as if she doesn’t know anything.
‘I must have heard something wrong?’
She thought she was being overly sensitive, so she shook her head, answered her, and then turned around again.
“Ah… Nothing!”
“Whoops…”
Elysia’s subtle laughter, almost unknown.
Feeling that her heart was heavy as much as the heavy burden, her holy day moved to an empty room on the second floor.
Seong-il opened her door, put her luggage on the floor, and told her.
“Okay! I’ll leave my luggage here for now! Don’t worry about office work until this weekend before the move is completed. I think you’ll just have to focus on cleaning up the second floor room and maid work for the time being!”
“Okay~ Colleague~”
Once again, Seong-il feels a sense of shame at the expression “Partner” That pops out of her mouth again.
“Excuse me…”
“Yes…?”
“Why do you keep calling me a partner…?”
“Oh, is it because you really don’t know…?”
Having said that, Elysia moved closer to her Seongil, and she continued her words by attaching her body to his body.
“You really don’t know?”
As she stepped closer to him, Seong-il hit the wall as she stepped backwards.
Elysia pressed her own body to his body once again.
“Hmm… Our partner was surprisingly naive…?”
Saying that, Elysia pressed her face as if her lips were almost touching Seongil’s.
She exhales hot breath from her nose, stimulates Seong-il’s face, and gently caresses his alter ego with one hand.
“Stand… You can’t…?”
“Oh my? You noticed now~ My partner?”
“Aren’t you crazy?!”
“Why..? What makes you think I’m crazy..?”
“What the hell! You’re our enemy! The Metropolitan Police Department hired us in the first place, giving us titles and money to catch you, but that arrestee came here on their own? Are you crazy?!”
Elysia answered with a strange smile at the words of such a holy day.. No, Euftesia.
“No, think about it carefully. When I say that the Metropolitan Police Department hired me to catch me, it means that you got your job because of me, right?”
“…?”
“Don’t you understand…? To put it simply, the position of special advisor to the Metropolitan Police Department is a position that may disappear anytime without me.”
“No.. What kind of place is that…”
“Think carefully! When the phantom thief Yuftesia sends a notice and attempts to steal, the success rate has been 100%!”
“However…?”
“But, what if the thief’s crime success rate drops to about 50% only when a detective suddenly appears…?”
“What…?”
“The Metropolitan Police Department’s abilities can’t stop the phantom thief at all… But when a certain detective appears, it becomes 50%…?”
“Hmm…”
“Then what will people think of that detective…?”
“…”
Seong-il begins to understand her logic. Let him quietly gaze at Euphthesia without saying anything. She smiled and continued her words.
“Public opinion, of course, will promote the detective, and the Metropolitan Police Department, which is oppressed by public opinion, will rely on her even more, so the position of her detective’s special advisor will be more solid, right?”
“…”
“By the way, what would happen if~ using that situation, the detective who is highly trusted by the Metropolitan Police Department and I could secretly steal inside information from the Metropolitan Police Department…?”
“Hmm…”
“Since I stole inside information, I can easily escape from the pressure from the Metropolitan Police Department, right?
Does that mean that Detective Moriarty is at a loss because of that situation?
No! The stronger her reputation grows and the stronger Detective Moriarty stands as my rival, paradoxically, the easier it will be for me to steal information from the Metropolitan Police Department, so I will deliberately defeat her to keep her reputation rising! Then Miss Charlotte Moriarty will be the best detective in Wyndham!
Because! As for Charlotte, she is the only detective who can ‘at least’ stop the thief’s theft, which she can never stop, so everyone in Windham City will have no choice but to rely on her.”
“…So what do you mean?”
“Yes! We are a symbiotic relationship. We can complement each other.”
“Hah… Sort of like a crocodile and a crocodile bird?”
“Exactly!”
After saying that, Euphthesia lightly hugged her Holy Day’s chest, bit her ear lightly, and whispered into his ear.
“By the way, if Detective Charlotte and I have a symbiotic relationship, Detective Seongil will also benefit greatly..?”
“What bullshit…!”
“Don’t you remember 4 times a month?”
“!!”
“What if I got caught after taking the treasure from the ‘Secret Room’?”
“That’s it, if you don’t get caught…”
“Oh, stop pretending to be naive!”
“…”
“No matter how hard I try to keep my promise, what will you do if I get caught or fall into a crisis and are forced to run away day by day?
“Hmm…”
“If you act as a stepping stone for my safety in the middle, Charlotte will become famous! I will become safe! “
“Hmm…”
“So it’s not particularly strange that I come to the Moriarty Detective Agency and ask for negotiations, revealing my face and identity like this!”
“…Did you ever think that I would betray you?”
“Fuhaha! I didn’t prepare that much…?”
Having said so, Euphthesia silently fertilizes in her arms
And handed it to Seongil.
Seong-il received the crystal without thinking.
Then, the video recorded in the crystal started playing.
“Teacher! Join hands with me! If you accept, I will give you an artifact!!』
ㆍㆍㆍ
“Good. Not accept Instead, there are two more conditions.』
In the video, Seongil and Euftesia were talking and trading in the warehouse of the Duke of Aback.
“!!!”
“My partner~ If you don’t betray me, I will never betray you. There’s no benefit from betraying you!”
“…”
“But… If you hand me over to the Metropolitan Police Department, I’ll be able to make a last resort…?”
“Under…”
Seong-il feels her backbone tingle at her trick.
‘No, this bitch is playing with me..? Are you a real game master and a nabal and just screw it up?’
Seong-il’s expression hardened due to anger, and when the flesh came out of his body, Euphthesia, embarrassed by his appearance, began to act cutely to him.
“Ahh… Don’t be too angry~ If I hadn’t trusted my partner, would I have come here like this?”
“Hmm…”
“The reason I showed you the crystal is not because I want to blackmail you, but because I really want to build a long-term partnership with you!”
“…”
“Otherwise, would I have revealed my true face and true identity to you that I was crazy?”
“Hmm…”
Seong-il felt that what she said was right. Suppressing her flesh that had risen in her moment, she began to answer her.
“Whoa… Okay. Your logic seems to make sense, so I’ll bear with it.
But, if you dig into your logic, it’s you and Charlotte that get hurt as a result, not me!!
I’m just playing into your hands without much gain!
To be honest, the logic that I can stably hold you 4 times a month is a reinterpretation of what has already been agreed in your favor! Is not it?”
“Hmm…”
“So I’ll have to adjust the contract. Otherwise, I’m an honor and a sucker, and I’ll give up everything and ruin you. Okay?”
“Woah~ Whoa~ Why are you so extreme~”
“Unlike you, I don’t really need to hang myself in this world.”
“…?”
Euphthesia is embarrassed when words like an apocalypse come out of Seongil’s mouth. She continued, pulling out her carrot book to calm down her holy days.
“Okay! I’ll admit you lose the most in this unofficial three-way deal! So what can I do to earn your trust?”
