Episode 46
a large room.
It felt like I was in an art museum, with various statues and paintings placed on pretty colorful wallpaper.
In the middle of such a room, in front of an antique and luxurious-looking desk, sat a sharp-looking man in his 30s.
Shiroyuki, the first wing of Japan’s largest organization, “Kuroi Tsubasa,” was drinking black tea from an elegant teacup while reading a report on the next planned area for missionary work.
‘Well?’
When there was a little commotion outside, Shiroyuki frowned and glared at the door of the office.
‘I told you to be careful even when coughing… but you’re stupid. I need to pay attention again’
Shiroyuki turned her eyes to the report again, and when she felt the noise coming from outside getting louder and louder, she started to get angry.
“Morishita!”
Shiroyuki calls his secretary, Morishita, who is always waiting outside the door.
Normally, he would have carefully opened the door and entered, but Morishita would not come in no matter how many times he called.
Sensing something was wrong, Shiroyuki slowly stood up.
‘What’s going on? Did the demons even attack? Or someone’s intrusion? No way, how many guards are there from the first floor to this place…’
When Shiroyuki frowned and looked at the door of the office,
squeak
The door is open.
“.. Morishita?”
Shiroyuki calls the secretary’s name with a nervous voice.
However, contrary to Shiroyuki’s wishes, the person who opened the door and entered was not Morishita.
Two men and women with normal clothes and impressions, never seen before.
No, the female side was conspicuously beautiful.
However, the fact that he came here without any hindrance proves that he is not an ordinary person.
Shiroyuki said to the two of them without relaxing.
“Who are you? You are not an expected guest.”
The woman who heard Shiroyuki’s words muttered something softly.

Before long, a white light emanated from the woman’s head, and something like a thin wire came out and connected to Shiroyuki’s head.
Surprised, Shiroyuki shouted at the woman.
“W-what did you do!! What have you done to me now!”
“I didn’t do anything that would harm you. Can you hear me? Nice to meet you.”
The woman who calmly introduced herself was Leah.
Shiroyuki looked at Leia with a puzzled expression and said.
“How did you get here? The guards and secretaries outside…”
“Oh, don’t worry about them. Because I just fainted.”
Leah said while looking at Shiroyuki, who was making an expression of embarrassment.
“We came to meet you like this because we have someone we are looking for, Mr. Shiroyuki. I trust you will cooperate.”
Shiroyuki tried to keep her composure while glaring at Leia.
“Are you asking for cooperation on such an intrusive subject right now? It’s not shameless.”
“well. At least, I think it’s better than someone who kidnaps a normal person and uses him as a ‘messenger of God’ or something to raise money.”
Shiroyuki’s face hardened rapidly.
He stared at Leah for a long time, his eyes narrowing.
However, he soon loosened his hardened expression and spoke in a soft voice while looking at Leah.
“I don’t know where or what you heard it from, but you seem to be misunderstanding something. The person we respectfully invite is not just an ordinary person, but a true ‘messenger of God’. If you receive his image up close and personal, you will surely feel that my words are not lies. I will prepare a place to receive him. If you give me a moment-“
“Please stop it.”
Seeing Leia waving her hands in the air as she spoke, Shiroyuki’s eyes widened.
Leia said while glaring at Shiroyuki with a frown on her face.
“’Speech’… it’s a skill I really despised. It’s probably a skill that’s quite useful for people lower than their intelligence stat, right?
If the intelligence stat is 45, it might be quite high here, but it doesn’t work for me.
This is my first time, so I’ll just end with a warning. I’ll pluck out your tongue if you give me any sign of using this filthy skill again.”
Hearing Leah’s words, Shiroyuki couldn’t come to his senses.
The ‘Speech’ skill that has brought me up to this point.
To someone with a lower intelligence stat than the user of the skill, the words using the ‘Speech’ skill sound sweet and sincere, so Shiroyuki had experienced the effect of the skill to a great extent.
He showed a being with an unusual appearance in front of his eyes, introduced him as a ‘messenger of God’ and at the same time dazzled his ears with his ‘speech’ skill, so everyone he met followed and worshiped him.

By the way, what is the identity of that woman who says that the skills that made her like a god don’t work at all, and even tells her exact stats as if she’s scrutinizing the status window?
Shiroyuki bit his lip and looked at Leia trembling.
Jung-min clicked his tongue while looking at Shiroyuki’s status window.
‘He really has all kinds of skills. Skill ‘Speech’. The caster’s words easily give faith… Isn’t this much more compatible than Kwak Jo-won’s ‘brainwashing’ skill? There doesn’t seem to be any penalty, and it’s easy to use on many people.. isn’t it? ‘Brainwashing’, where the mind is directly connected, is probably more powerful. If you think about it like that, ‘brainwashing’ is more. It’s hard to say which is better’
“Now, please don’t suffer needlessly by using useless skills, and please think carefully and act accordingly. We’re here to find people. I came here to take the aforementioned black-winged and white-eyed man, whom you called ‘God’s messenger’ and led with you. Where are you?”
Shiroyuki trembled at Leah’s question and said.
“I cannot… give him up. He is this ‘Kurai Tsubasa’ himself. Without him, ‘Kurai Tsubasa’ would not exist. How can the many believers who believe in him and follow him want to take him!”
“That is not my job. In the first place, you guys kidnapped them while talking about ‘messengers of God’, right? Whether he is a follower or a follower, do it yourself, and tell him where he is.”
“I can never say-”
“Ah, by the way, the people who were interrogated by me before coming to this place suffered a lot. One of them was mentally damaged beyond recovery. Do you want that too?”
As soon as Leah finished speaking, the outside started to become noisy.
Jung-min, who looked outside the door, came to Leah and said.
“It looks like they found the fallen guards. I might come in soon. I’ll go out and take care of it, so Leah, feel free to do your thing.”
Leah smiled awkwardly and said to Jeongmin.
“Yes.. Please be careful. In the meantime, I will try to find out where Liddell is.”
Jung-min nodded to Leah, looked at Shiroyuki with a pitiful expression, and then lightly clicked his tongue a couple of times before going outside and closing the door.
Soon after, a loud noise began to be heard outside.
Amid the loud sound of gunshots and the sound of something breaking, Leah looked at Shiroyuki and spoke again.
“I will give you one more chance. Are you sure you don’t intend to talk plainly?”
Cold sweat began to run down Shiroyuki’s back.
Around Jung-min, there were people who had collapsed and wriggling, and there was no room to step on.
A sense of pride settled in Jung-min’s eyes as he looked at the people who were lying down.
“Okay, no one is dead. I think I’ve roughly figured out how to control my powers now. This trip to Japan has really helped me a lot in my training.”
Jung-min turned around and walked back to Shiroyuki’s office.
Approaching the door, it opened from the inside and Leah walked out.
Jeongmin looked at Leah who came out with surprised eyes and said.
“Ah… is it over? Where is Liddell?”
“I figured it out. It was closer than I thought.”
When Jung-min peered through the open office door, he found Shiroyuki lying on the floor.
An empty potion bottle was always lying beside him.
“Are you dead?”
Leah shook her head at Jeongmin’s question.
“No. Not dead. Actually, I was able to locate Liddell pretty easily. That person, after finding out Liddell’s location, knocked him out again.”
“okay. By the way, where do you say Liddell is?”
At Jung-min’s words, Leah lifted a key and said.
“It was close by. He is said to be imprisoned in a room at the far end of the hallway here.”
“Confinement?”
Leah took the lead and started walking down the hallway.
The two of them walked to the far end of the hallway and found a door with a large padlock on the outside.
Jung-min unlocked the lock with the key given by Leah and opened the door.
dark room.
Someone was lying on a bed in the middle of the room.
Even in the dark, it is a silhouette that can be seen that it is different from normal people.
On either side of the man lying down, jet-black wings hung weakly.
As I got closer, I could see more closely the figure of the lying man.
“Looks like this is Liddell. It seems very washed-out. Didn’t you feed me? But sleeping… Leah?!”
Jung-min looked at Liddell and found Leah who was exhaling a tremendous amount of murder.
When Jung-min urgently calls Leah, Leah bites her lip once and ends up dying.
“.. I’m sorry, Mr. Jeongmin. It reminded me of what happened in Elan…”
Jeongmin lightly wrapped his arms around Leah’s shoulders and comforted her.
Leah, who had been hugged by Jung-min for a while, said in a bright voice as if she was okay now.
“I think I was a little upset because I remembered what happened then. It’s okay now, Mr. Anyway, I finally found it. Come on, take Liddell and leave us.”
Jung-min looked at Leah, who was trying hard to talk brightly, and approached the bed where Liddell was lying.
Liddell lay motionless on the bed with his eyes closed, as if he didn’t care at all about what was happening next to him.
“It sounds like you’re sleeping pretty deeply. I don’t think it will happen.”
Jeongmin carefully grabbed Liddell by the shoulder and shook him.
However, Liddell showed no signs of getting up, just shaking around.
Just in case, Jung-min put his finger under Liddell’s nose and said to Leah.
“I’m breathing, but no matter how much I shake it, it won’t wake up. I think it would be more accurate to say that I lost consciousness rather than falling asleep.”
Leia moved closer to the bed and looked around at Liddell.
“I definitely think so. I think I might have been intoxicated with some kind of drug or something.”
Jung-min opened his inventory and took out a bottle of potion.
“Then the potion might be effective. I will feed you”
Jeongmin hugged Liddell’s upper body and stood him up.
I had a little trouble holding it because the wings got in the way, but somehow I was able to pour the potion into Liddell’s mouth.
– Cuckoo! Cool! Cool!-
Liddell, who had been handing over the potion for a while, coughed violently and stood up.
Even in the midst of that, Jung-min thought it was quite strange to hear the sound of coughing directly in his head.
Liddell’s closed eyes opened, and the white eyes looked at Jeongmin and Leah.
– Who, who are you? –
Liddell looked at the two in a bewildered voice and spoke.
Looking at him like that, Jungmin said calmly.
“You hear it right in your head. It’s a strange way of communication. I’m sure it’s not Korean, but it’s amazing that I can understand it… Ah, nice to meet you. We take a request and to save you-”
-Ugh!! is this a potion? Are there stores open on Earth? No, even so, this is an advanced potion, right? How can you use such a potion at this time?-
Jung-min, who was speechless for a moment at Liddell’s violent reaction, calmly resumed his conversation.
“I will talk about that later. I’ll say it again. We accept the request and save Mr. Liddell-”
-no! Aren’t those bracelets and rings all items? It looks like a regular trinket, but my eyes can’t fool it! How many items have I seen so far! But how are you holding this? Has a summoning type item like this already appeared? That’s strange. It wouldn’t be the right time… Oh, how many years have I been asleep by any chance?-
Tendons sprouted from Jeongmin’s forehead.
