Having obtained all the useful information, Lee Myung-soo wasn’t needed anymore. I was worried about the process before asking Cheon Sa-yeon.

“Why don’t you tell the Head Center Choi Mi-jin and hand it over?”

“Hmm.”

“Don’t make a big deal, just take care of it. It’s true that you did something worth handing over to the management headquarters anyway.”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who was touching the corner of his mouth at my suggestion, blinked a few times.

“It doesn’t matter if I leave it like this, but it would be better to just make up a good reason according to what you said and just let it go.”

“If we hold on and miss the timing, the situation only gets more complicated. There’s nothing else to gain, so let’s clean up and do what we have to do.”

It was difficult to see that Lee Myung-soo had anything to do with the Praus Cult anyway. He was just one of those who they hired with money.

As I said, Cheon Sa-yeon charged Lee Myung-soo with assault and then handed it over to the management headquarters through Choi Mi-jin. In fact, it wasn’t a lie at all because Kim Woo-jin was injured.

And I passed on the newly learned information to Ha Tae-heon. Ha Tae-heon exhaled a complicated breath when I said that what the Praus Cult was doing became clear.

[I will pass it on to Master.]

“Ah, Ha Tae-heon-ssi. And I have something to tell you.”

[What is it?]

After a moment’s hesitation, I said what I was thinking.

“..is it possible?”

[I can’t give you a definitive answer. However, I will try to persuade them as much as I can.]

“I beg you please.”

[Yeah. I’ll see you in two days.]

After the call, I put together a plan in my head, thinking about the future.

* * *

Two days later, Ha Tae-heon visited Requiem for the third time. However, the meeting place this time wasn’t my room, but a conference room.

Ha Tae-heon, who only found out after arriving that I had loosened the shackles, frowned slightly, but he went on without saying a word.

After confirming that we had all gathered, Woo Seo-hyuk turned on the beam projector and went in front of the big screen.

“This is the exterior photo of Ayton Club in Nonhyeon-dong.”

At the same time as Woo Seo-hyuk spoke, a picture was displayed on the screen. The club building with the letter “A” on the black exterior wall was quite splendid as it was said to be quite large.

“It can accommodate about 3,000 people, and the main stage, VIP room, and secret room are all divided into floors. This is an inside picture.”

Then the picture changed on the screen and several pictures of the room appeared. The VIP room was the largest, followed by the secret room, and each floor was connected by an elevator.

Park Geon-ho, who was listening to Woo Seo-hyuk’s explanation with an interesting expression, opened his mouth.

“If you want to get the alcohol, you’d better go inside the club and find it yourself.”

I guess so. I agree with Park Geon-ho’s opinion.

“It’s dangerous, but for now, that’s the surest way.”

“The question is how to get the alcohol?”

“According to Lee Myung-soo’s statement, it seems that the number of people who directly paid for the purchase wasn’t small. We can try it.”

Min Ah-rin asked with a worried expression.

“I don’t think it will be that easy. We don’t know what kind of bottle it is and will they sell it without any procedure?”

“Right. And even if we get alcohol and make an antidote, it seems like there will be no end to it unless we catch the gang who spread drugs.”

Not only Min Ah-rin but also Kwon Jeong-han pointed out an important part. Also, it was only one or two who got caught.

Cheon Sa-yeon, who was staring at the screen with his arms crossed, said in a calm voice.

“The problems that we’ve got now aren’t the information that can be obtained by catching a guy wandering outside like this one, so we have to go to the club and check it out ourselves.”

“I don’t think it will be a one-time solution, Master.”

“Yes. Of course, it would be nice if it succeeded in one shot, but the chance of that happening is slim.”

Woo Seo-hyuk changed the picture on the screen at Cheon Sa-yeon’s words.

“In ten days, a famous singer is invited to a party. It will be more crowded and chaotic than other times, so I think it would be good to aim for this time.”

“Ten days later. That’s good enough.”

An image appeared on the screen with a notice about the party to be held in ten days. After looking at it for a while, I suggested it to Cheon Sa-yeon.

“It would be better to do as Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi said. But we should go at least once before the party and understand the internal structure and atmosphere.”

“That’s right. Since it’s a crowded place, we should exclude those whose faces are known several times.”

It was talking about Cheon Sa-yeon, Ha Tae-heon, and Kim Woo-jin. I nodded and added.

“Non-combat people should be excluded because you never know what will happen.”

Min Ah-rin and Kwon Jeong-han couldn’t go either. Then who was left.

“Woo Seo-hyuk, Park Geon-ho. The two of you come together as a team and take a look around.”

At the command of Cheon Sa-yeon, who had the same thoughts as me, Park Geon-ho smiled deeply and Woo Seo-hyuk answered with a light sigh that he understood.

“I can’t believe I’m in a club with that wooden secretary. Should I say that it’s going to be fun, or should I say that it will be difficult.”

“I’ll give it back to you as it is. I’m afraid that Team Leader Park Geon-ho will forget his purpose and make an accident.”

“……”

Did you have to fight as soon as it was decided to perform a mission as a team? I quickly mediated before the nonsense got too long.

“Stop it, both of you.”

What if you fought while Ha Tae-heon was also here? It was also strange for other people who just looked at it. Why did I always stop them myself alone?

Park Geon-ho, who had giggled at me, leaned back on the chair with a smile on his face and turned his gaze to Cheon Sa-yeon.

“I will go there once and if the situation goes well, I will participate on the day of the party with Secretary Woo Seo-hyuk. Even if it’s hard to get a drug group, at least let me get some alcohol.”

“No.”

Everyone’s eyes turned to me at the decisive action.

“It’s okay to go for spying before the party, but if you sneak in to get alcohol in earnest, it’s dangerous even for two people.”

Park Geon-ho asked with a surprised expression.

“Then do you have any other plans?”

“Me.”

It was something I had already made up my mind about from the moment I heard Lee Myung-soo talk about the club. I continued speaking, recalling what I had decided.

“I will go with you and bring the alcohol.”

“……”

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly subsided as cold as cold water was sprayed. Park Geon-ho, whose smile suddenly disappeared, and Kim Woo-jin’s pale face sitting next to him caught my eye, but I didn’t stop persuasion.

“Three people will be safer than two people, and I, who is an A-rank lower than two S-ranks, will be seen as a more acceptable prey for them.”

“Stop it, Han Yi-gyeol.”

Ha Tae-heon growled with his forehead distorted badly.

“Do you think I will send you to such a place?”

“Ha Tae-heon-ssi.”

“My opinion is the same as Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon.”

Cheon Sa-yeon’s cold, black eyes turned to me.

“Did you forget why we sent Team Leader Park Geon-ho and Secretary Woo Seo-hyuk in the first place? Han Yi-gyeol, your face is known, so even if you go, you will only cause a fuss.”

“I’m different from Master Cheon Sa-yeon, Ha Tae-heon-ssi, and Kim Woo-jin. I’ve only been out there officially once before and the rest are just a few videos.”

“……”

“If I change my style, it won’t be easy to recognize me under the club lights.”

I didn’t avoid Cheon Sa-yeon’s gaze and spoke confidently.

“And as long as it has become clear that it has something to do with the Praus Cult, the influence of the SS-rank mind controller can’t be ignored. I’m sure you all know that.”

In the worst scenario, you might run into Samael or Abel at the club. Even if that wasn’t the case, we couldn’t be at ease because there were countless talented members of the Praus Cult that we hadn’t figured out yet.

“I’m the only one who’s his mind control ability doesn’t work. And if things go awry and a battle breaks out, you’ll need wind power to get out of the basement without taking too much damage around you.”

“……”

“You have to be a target for them to get drugged alcohol.”

In a closed space called a club, you had to deliberately attract attention and rescue drugs. It was risky, but the timing was good enough to get into the party just in time, so I had to take advantage of this opportunity somehow.

I raised my chin slightly and spoke confidently to those who had hardened faces.

“I’m the one who is most likely to bring drugs in this situation, right?”

If we tried it somehow, only our information would leak out and we would miss out on drugs. If you were going to do it anyway, it was much better to be prepared and play the game properly.

Above all, it became clear that the people who spread the drug were the Praus Cult, so it was beneficial in many ways to catch the person involved this time.

“Haha…”

The sound of laughter spread through the air of the meeting room, where there was a cold silence. Ha Tae-heon turned his gaze and looked at Cheon Sa-yeon irritably.

“Aren’t you staring at me too much, Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon?”

“Can you laugh now?”

If Cheon Sa-yeon ignored me, I would ignore him too, but I was a little surprised because I didn’t expect him to laugh. I hope he didn’t laugh at me.

“Ha…”

Cheon Sa-yeon, who took a long, deep breath after an unknown laugh, said to me.

“Yes. Come along, Han Yi-gyeol.”

“Yes? Wa, wait a minute, Master!”

“Master!”

As soon as permission was granted, Min Ah-rin and Kim Woo-jin jumped up from their seats with pale faces. They must have thought that my offer would be rejected.

“…are you serious?”

And that was the same for Ha Tae-heon. Cheon Sa-yeon silently received Ha Tae-heon’s fierce eyes as if he would grab him by the collar at any moment.

“Of course, I’m serious. Then this time I ask, Deputy Master Ha Tae-heon. Can you object to Talented Han Yi-gyeol’s words?”

“……”

“It’s true from start to finish. It seems to me that he has been trying to do this since he heard the information about the club.”

I got caught. It wasn’t really that big of a deal, so I answered bluntly.

“Absolutely. No matter how many times I weigh myself, I was the best fit.”

“But that doesn’t make it easy for you to enter.”

Squeak, Cheon Sa-yeon, who leaned his body long on the chair and folded his arms, continued.

“No matter how dark the club is, you can’t just go like that. At least use a changing or illusion item. That is the condition.”

“If that’s the case, you don’t need to worry.”

The attendant knocked on the tightly closed door of the conference room just in time to announce that the guest had arrived. The people who I asked Ha Tae-heon to contact in advance arrived.

“It’s okay to let them come in.”

In response to my answer, the attendant moved away from the door and the guests entered the conference room.

I got up and greeted them with a warm smile.

“Long time no see, both of you.”

Luzel with khaki hair and a cool smile and Luke standing with broad shoulders narrowed.

They were the ones we needed right now.
