Chapter 429 – Tangents
“Hmm…? An interesting story is coming out now. Shouldn’t you have said that a long time ago? You are a more frustrating person than I thought. Do you know Helena’s location?”
A small look of anticipation appeared on Chaos’ face.
“Haha… Even after seeing this, I’m confident that I have some power in Zefia. If you look for it from now on, it won’t take long.”
Laurent said with a familiar smile.
“Ah, if this person has influence, it’s not like there’s no possibility.”
William, who was next to him, stepped forward to provide support.
Chaos thought William was an incompetent guy.
“Hmm… From now on… You were just saying it too. There is no meaning. Bring me the results. Then I will give you a chance to treat me to a meal.”
Chaos spoke as if giving instructions to a subordinate.
“… Yes?”
Chaos left Laurent, who was dumbfounded after hearing what he said, and left with Suni and Celestia.

Laurent’s targeting of her barque was akin to revenge on her for causing him trouble in her magistrate’s office.
At the same time, I also had a dark feeling of wanting to show them that they could become his women in front of him. But it failed.
I don’t know why he didn’t report it to the police, but it was stupid to repeat her failures.
Laurent decided to change her direction and attack them directly.
It was not difficult to find out that they had joined a civic group called the Helena Liberation Front and were working hard.
By claiming to be her sponsor, she had a natural encounter with them.
I was planning to attack him step by step under the pretext of treating him to a meal…
“… Laurent.”
Laurent woke up from her thoughts when she heard William calling her.
“Yes? Ah… Yes… Please tell me.”
“Did I make a mistake? You barely eat anything.”
“Oh, no.”
Laurent glanced around her, avoiding William’s worried eyes.
Inside the restaurant, the girls who really wanted are gone, and the seats are filled with strange people.
From her first meeting, things went wrong.
Never in her wildest dreams did she know that this would happen.
It’s somewhat disgusting to see people eating luxurious dishes they don’t normally taste without being able to come to their senses.
It’s not a waste of money.
It’s an irritation that something you planned failed.
‘Ha… Have I ever been treated like this?’
How can this be?
They all seemed uninterested in themselves.
It was the first time that women had no reaction upon hearing that they were the managers of Lemanien.
There was no woman who would not come across her own background.
It wasn’t something that was directly lured.
I just said we would all have a light meal together, but I wondered what this was like.
A woman named Suni has a husband, so she can understand at least a little.
However, she felt dizzy as she was ignored by a girl named Chaos and a woman named Celestia.
It’s not like Laurent hasn’t met women with high standards of opinion. Still, she has never faced such a flat rejection.
Because she would always be dragged in even though she pretended not to like it.
Laurent’s face burned at her stern rejection, which was the first time in his life that he had encountered this. The good thing for her is that she wasn’t shamed for blatantly flirting.
If she did, she wouldn’t be sitting here.
“They are quite beautiful people. I understand Laurent’s desire to make them stars. Our Helena Liberation Front has also seen a significant increase in new members since they joined.”
Come to think of it, most of the people eating are men.
“Originally there were about 10 people, but the number has grown to over 20.”
William’s story is that more than half of the men here joined to target the girls.
Laurent felt like she was being treated in the same way as these ants, which made her feel sick. But she couldn’t help but smile as if nothing was wrong.
“It’s a pity. These people are going to become great stars… But they have no intention of doing so.”
“I understand Laurent’s feelings. I, too, would like them to enter the entertainment industry. If they become famous, wouldn’t more people listen to our stories?”
“Ah… Yes.”
Laurent found it refreshing to see them not even caring about him.
In particular, the girl named Chaos’ harsh words left me speechless. Her gaze and tone of voice, as if looking at someone under her, made Laurent dizzy.
It seemed like she had never experienced anything like this in her life.
For the first time, Laurent felt her fierce possessiveness engulfing him.

“Is it okay?”
In the car on the way home, Suni muttered worriedly.
“What are you worried about? We shouldn’t give a person like that a chance to be clumsy. Didn’t you see him trying to catch us somehow? He must be in heat.”
“Still, he is the head of a huge company, but maybe he said something too harsh? It’s hard to find Helena, so I think I may have bought unnecessary resentment.”
“Hmm… I wonder if that’s true. If you harbor this much vengeance, you can’t be called a man. You need to get rid of the pepper.”
Celestia thought that Suni’s worries were useless.
“What on earth did we do wrong that you hold a grudge?”
Chaos gave an expression of not understanding.
“The pride of people in such high places is not normal. I came here to support them, but they are in a bad mood. Being told that I am frustrated can be seen as an insult.”
“That’s all?”
“Ha… Chaos. This mom is worried. You don’t have this many social skills.”
“Senior Suni, you have a lot of unnecessary worries. I am a warrior who fought against great evils for a long time. What can one poor demon do?”
“You didn’t fight. The master fought.”
“Don’t belittle my merits. When Senior Suni was digging his nostrils in the Great Devil Castle, I was a comrade in arms who shared life and death and hardships with the Master on the battlefield. Are you insulting me like that?”
“Hmph! Didn’t you pierce your nostrils? What about comrades… The master is strong enough without you. Since you’ve been hanging on so much, he’s taking you away.”
“Are we starting again? Both of you, stop.”
Celestia intervened between the two who started growling.
“I can’t help it. I’m a big-hearted person, so I’ll bear it. By the way, William. That guy’s talkative. He’s bragging like that we’re looking for Helena.”
“Chaos, you’re the one making such a fuss! You’ve been talking so much that everyone there knows that we’re looking for Helena.”
“I think it was a wise decision. If even one of them gets any information, they’ll get horny and give it to us. They’re not going to get arrested by the police for saying they’re looking for Helena, so I think we should use what we can.”
“That guy named Laurent, wouldn’t it have been okay if I had a meal with him since he was spending some time at Zephya?”
“If he comes with real information, it’s not too late to go and talk to him then… Hmm? This is…”
A bitter and evil smile appears on Chaos’ cold face.
“Senior Suni. Could it be that you wanted to eat with that man named Laurent? Are you interested in him?! This is shocking!”
“Is this crazy? What do you mean?”
“I told you because I felt like I still had some regrets. You left your master and turned your eyes to a man who left you…”
“I said no!”
“Mother, I will inherit father. I support your affair. You must quickly tell your father about this affair…”
“Is this slandering someone?!”
Sunni and Chaos started punching each other in the car.
“Tsk, tsk, how many years have you been doing this? Not even the kids.”
Celestia shook her head as she watched the two bickering like children.

The woman who approached me was a girl with an innocent looking face on her cute face.
She looks young, but I don’t know her real age.
The age of a demon could be determined only when it was a child.
“S-sorry for being late!”
It’s not too late.
But for some reason she apologized to me.
I came early, and there were still 20 minutes left until the appointment time.
“My name is Lynette, and I am now receiving my second mission! Please take care of me!”
Second…
Lynette was a senior.
But I didn’t tell you that I have now received my first mission.
Is there a need to talk about facts that don’t need to be revealed?
“It’s Bark. What are you doing standing like that? Sit down.”
“Yes!”
Lynette sat across from me. The look of military discipline was like that of a private.
Is there such a thing as a military discipline in Rebellion?
Looking at Claire and Cowra, I didn’t think so…
‘Anyway… Two of you are beginners…’
The remaining one was most likely a veteran. And 5 minutes before the appointed time, one remaining man joined.
His face looked like that of a demon, but he was holding a lot of weight.
“It’s Zayd.”
“Yep! Please take care of me!”
Lynette jumped up from her seat and bowed her head to Zaid.
“It’s a bark.”
I was the exact opposite of her, sitting down and talking to her.
“Follow me.”
After Zaid glanced at me, she left her store, leaving only those words to us.
“Yes? Yes!”
Lynette looked back and forth between me and Zaid, and then followed him in a confused manner.
Maybe she mistook me for the leader?
Although she doesn’t like that Zaid seems a little arrogant, she can’t help it.
She left behind some unfinished french fries, got her butt off her chair, and ran after him.
