chapter 42
42 – EP.13 Babysitter -1
Slurp, slurp.
The taste of the black tea I sipped while smelling the fragrant smell was neither too sweet nor too bitter, which was just right for my taste.
It feels good when the well-brewed water goes down the back of your neck and the unique scent seeps into your nostrils.
Personally, I think it’s good enough to compare to the refreshingness of soda.
Besides, being able to drink black tea while gazing at the panoramic view of Central City is such a luxury.
But it didn’t end here.
The touch of the baby dragon’s soft cheeks came through my hands, and Tia, the baby dragon who touched my cheeks, kyureung kyung-! It made a cute cry and loved it.
Now all five senses are satisfied: taste, smell, sight, touch, and hearing. I was happier and happier than ever.
“You seem to be happy that you are quite relaxed.”
“Peace comes first.”
I sip black tea once again and enjoy its flavor.
As expected…….
“Seon owner agent, no matter how busy you are, don’t you think you’re doing that in front of someone?”
“Ah! What, how are you! They say that working efficiency improves when you have someone to talk to, don’t you?”
“Where the hell is the basis for that ridiculous story… ?”
“I remember seeing it on a TV show her mother used to watch.”
“I have to tell you right away that the program should be abolished. You are injecting strange information into the people….”
Otherwise, I continued to drink black tea in the director’s office and continue to have skinship with Tia.
As expected, autumn is the season of contemplation.
I really like this season full of leisure.
“Looking at you now, there is one word that comes to mind.”
“Hmm? What is it?”
“…… Salary Lupine.”
Perfect fit and expression.
Even so, it wasn’t that there was nothing to say.
“It can’t be helped, it’s been peaceful since the New Water Incident in the North.”
“Terrorists are still rampant in the country… ?”
“As an unofficial agent, I can’t fight openly. Besides, isn’t it normal that countering terrorists should be outside my jurisdiction in the first place? Fighting the victims who are being threatened by them…….”
“It would be wrong to be a powerless civilian, but not you?”
“For now, I am at the level of a civilian….”
“The morale is moderate, but what kind of civilian in the world will survive a falling meteorite and come back?”
“Uh, um…… “
I didn’t think much of it at the time, but after listening to it, I realized how spectacular things I had been through.
A normal person has lived through so many dangerous things that he might have died hundreds of times already.
How did I buy it… ?
“In addition, isn’t it strange that you, who have an out-of-standard existence Shinsoo as your pet, are afraid of terrorists?”
“That’s right.”
No matter what kind of human comes, they won’t be able to survive even 10 seconds fighting the Shinsoo.
“To be honest, I want to ask you to wipe out all the terrorists. It would be a simple story if you just use the baby dragon’s abilities. However, for some reason, you can’t use the ability of the Shinsoo recklessly. Isn’t it?”
“Did you know….”
“While you have the power to get your hands on everything while shaking all kinds of sh*t like the king of the world, you are so strangely quiet that I can’t help but think that way.”
Director Edwinner’s detective power is so good that it gives goosebumps.
Wouldn’t it be sooner or later that the fact that he had other companions would be discovered? It’s not a story without possibility, so I’m anxious.
If you realize it, what excuse should you make……
“I won’t ask why. If you’re minimizing borrowing the dragon’s power, it would be right to understand and be considerate. But… ….”
“Just… ?”
“I have to work so I don’t hear the sound of lupine on my salary.”
After putting down the documents he was looking at carefully, the director took out a white USB memory from a drawer and threw it at me.
I made the mistake of missing the USB because it was a really sudden throw.
An eagle, the director’s pet, snatched the falling USB on the way and lightly placed it on my palm.
That’s true, you make people tremble…….
“What is this?”
“There will be a laptop on the table. I didn’t set a password, so check it yourself.”
I thought it would be better to check with my own eyes than to ask him when he was busy, so I immediately turned on the laptop and plugged in the USB.
There were two PPT files in the opened folder.
“Which one should I watch?”
“Check everything.”
I was given permission to look at all of them, so I immediately clicked on the PPT material titled ‘Profile’ at the top and read it.
The content contained in the newly opened window was, as the title suggests, the profile of the agents, and this data was a collection of personal information of agents that had never been seen before.
“…… Is this really something I can check? I think it’s an invasion of personal privacy….”
“There are no plans for you and them to face each other, and all information about them was collected through official channels with the permission of the parties involved, so there is no problem.”
“Even if you say it’s okay, Director, if it’s something that can be seen even by me…….”
“If you care that much, just check pages 3, 14, and 159.”
“3… 14… 159…….”
Scroll down the mouse and decide to scan only the page designated by the director.
Agents named Dogg, No, and Answer, from top to bottom.
It was an ordinary profile of 2 male agents and 1 female agent with nothing special about them.
“Why did you ask me to only check these people’s information?”
“I will tell you the answer after checking the rest of the files.”
Close the profile window and now browse the second PPT file in the folder.
The content of the window that popped up this time was a presentation that requires more attention to security than a profile, and data about the operation to clear the terrorists after 6 hours.
After confirming this, I reflexively covered the laptop screen due to a growing sense of reluctance.
Whoa.
I let out a big exhalation and wanted to express my refusal to the director. He was already waving a piece of paper at me.
I had to open the laptop screen again when I saw the first phrase on the paper, [Recovery of the damaged area in the north and human resource support plan.].
I knew better than anyone how big the damage was and the personality of the Northern guys who sold out their agents, so I couldn’t help it.
f*ck…….
“Even though it’s a counter-terrorist operation, you’re unlikely to be involved in combat yourself. You are always being sent as helpers.”
“Assistant… ?”
“Refer to Operation File, page 44.”
Drreuk.
When I scrolled down, the page had the title of a vigilance mission and the names of the profile members I had seen earlier written in plain text.
“You just have to hide and secretly help the platoon with its mission.”
“Do you mean to see me in the dark?”
“I don’t want that much. All you have to do is monitor the platoon’s diligence and provide a little help when needed.”
“Surprisingly simple, but why do you want to single out this platoon and entrust it to me?”
“The agent who was the leader of the platoon was recently hospitalized with a gastric ulcer, so his stability has deteriorated. That’s why I’m asking you to help them complete their mission successfully.”
“Hmm….”
I’m anxious, I mean anxious…….
“Besides, their mission this time around is not infiltration, but vigilance. It’s not a very high-risk mission.”
“It’s less dangerous than an infiltration platoon, but it’s not without risk, right?”
“Ah, so let me make one tempting offer to you in lieu of hazard allowance.”
“A tempting offer?”
“Yes, like a 7-day vacation….”
“Unfortunately, I don’t want to take a vacation anymore.”
Because on days I’m not working, I have to fight fierce battles at night…….
That’s why I came here on purpose even though there was no call from the director.
It can be seen as a struggle of the head of household to avoid a mandatory defense battle.
“Hmm, then how about this?”
The laptop screen turned on by itself even though I didn’t touch it, probably because the remote desktop program was installed on the laptop I was using.
Soon after entering something arbitrarily into the search box, I entered a certain website.
This website probably means that the conditions proposed by the director are included.
I don’t know what it is, but to me, who has little desire for money, things in kind are worthless.
So, without expecting much, I took a quick look at the displayed screen…….
“This, this?!”
“I think this is a good enough suggestion for you. How about it?”
“Are you really going to give me this kind of reward if I finish today’s mission…?!”
“Of course. Alright, so what are you going to do now?”
I never thought you would have prepared something like this to pamper me…… What a scary person.
The director, who was resting his chin on his clasped hands, began to smile in this direction.
It was a nasty smile that was clearly confident of his victory.
“Director… !!”
So, of course, the urge to take a bite out of him started to stir in my heart…….
“…… I want to do a mission… !”
Unfortunately, I’m just a lowly servant in the face of a tremendous reward.
There was no other choice but to surrender…….
***
The platoon I need to monitor is a guard duty.
According to the information confirmed through the PPT file that I had been familiar with in advance, it was a mission to guard in the forest about 2-3KM away from the building where the infiltration team would enter.
Their mission is to intercept and block the support of possible terrorists, and capture the fleeing terrorists.
A simple mission that can easily be completed without a lot of terrorists coming to join you.
In addition, this platoon is not the only person in charge of guard duty, so even if a battle breaks out, it will be able to respond sufficiently.
If nothing happens, just wait here and go back.
“It’s so sweet, it’s so sweet that I think it’s completely honey.”
“Sweet Honey… !! Yuu!! Me too! Me too!! Sweet Honey Muglin!!”
“Tia… It’s just an analogy. Metaphor.”
“Biyuu? Drink that… ?”
“No, not eating…… Umm, I’ll buy you sikhye on the way back after it’s over. Let’s be quiet for a while now.”
“Shikee… !!”
Tia loves sweet things like a child.
Tia, who has already tried all kinds of sweet foods and drinks, recently picked her best one, and that was her Sikhye.
Not only does it taste sweet, but the chewy rice grains are so soft that you can drink as much as you like.
Anyway, Tia’s love for sikhye has now become a magic that makes her obey whatever she says.
“Yuu!”
“Huh?”
“Three times today! Number 3! Follow Yuu’s words!”
“Uh… ….”
No. 1 Flew to the operation area quickly and conveniently.
The first time I asked for an air barrier to stop the smell and noise.
And if you add up asking me to stay calm now, you followed my words a total of 3 times.
“Yes, number 3 is correct.”
“I’m like a chakanger… ?”
“Then be nice.”
“Then what a big deal! Buy me the big one!! Arachi?”
“Ha ha!! OK got it!”
Tia’s eyes are already shining at the thought of drinking amazake. It made me laugh out loud.
How can he choose such cute words and actions? …
I think it was good that I brought only Tia with me on this mission.
“I couldn’t bring only Tia with me, but… ….”
Yata is a regular Yata religion meeting.
Miho teaches Cor about housework, and Cor is being taught by Miho diligently.
Because of what happened that day when I got home, I knew that Miho would hate Cor very much, but…….
As if Miho had a change of heart after the date, Miho began to treat Kor as kindly as before.
I was a little nervous, but it must be a good thing if we got along well, so I decided to let it go for now.
“Anyway, why aren’t these guys coming like this… ?”
Three agents who did not arrive at the designated location even after the start time of the operation had already passed.
I was frowning at what the hell I was doing, but then I heard a commotion.
“What are you going to do! You’re late for the operation!”
“What, how! There’s no way the enemy has already arrived, so let’s just take it easy.”
“That’s right, I can’t get enough energy because I’m hungry….”
Her face is full of anger, and she is not a woman who has a lot of temper even now.
Doug is the man who is walking around as if everything is bothering him.
Answer is a man panting while holding on to his hungry stomach.
I’ve only seen it for a short while, but it was a trio that showed quite unique characteristics.
“I’m sorry, but I need to eat something too…” !”
“Wait?! Answer!! It stinks, so don’t eat it outside! Besides, we’re on an operation right now!!”
“Yaya, just skip over it~! You’re never going to come here anyway, so why are you so eager?”
“Because you always do it roughly like that! The leader didn’t end up hospitalized with a gastric ulcer because of stress!”
Uh… ? Was it like that?
The previous leader was hospitalized because of a stress stomach ulcer… ?
…… But seeing them, I can understand a little bit.
“It’s not me. No, it must be because of you. Because you look hysterical every day. That’s what the leader did.”
“What is that? Are you done talking now!!”
“Look at this? You’re angry again A dirty b*tch anyway.”
“This is real… !!”
“Ah… I’m sorry….”
“Answer! It smells so don’t eat it!!”
“If you don’t like the smell, you can go on your own…” ?”
“Ugh… !! Ah! OK, that’s it! You two take care of it! I will go far, so if the enemy comes, call me or not!!”
“Okay, because my eardrums are about to fall off. Come on, get off.”
“Gulp….”
…… Did you go crazy? This?
I thought there might be one or two problems since the director dispatched me, but I never thought the platoon itself would be a problem…….
Looking at them, it reminds me of the previous arguing between senior agents.
Senior agents who fought childishly over trivial matters.
But at the same time, they had a deep bond with each other and showed perfect teamwork and teamwork during the mission.
On the other hand, the guys I’m looking at right now are a garbage platoon that doesn’t even show a sense of bonding.
Even during the operation, they only fight each other and act as they please.
Even though the enemy I had to fight was located in this area, it was like this.
“Doog, no, Answer… ….”
I realized one thing when I called their names quietly.
These bastards…….
“Isn’t that a b*tch?”
“Gaenodaap… ? Do you drink it?”
I already feel like my head is going to break….
