Iluna and Luvia stayed in the [Dark Dungeon] for half an hour before coming out. At that time, Shade was sorting out his books in the study on the second floor, planning to take advantage of the big city player period to get the second-year potions and
Practice your alchemy skills.
Neither girl wanted to tell Shade what they talked to "themselves" in the darkness, but they both thought they had gained a lot.
Shade originally had the idea of letting Luvia stay overnight, but before he tried to express his thoughts secretly, Iluna expressed that he wanted to leave with Luvia and wanted to ask some inconveniences for Shade to listen to.
The problem.
"Then we'll leave first."
The purple-eyed girl smiled and waved to Shade. Of course she could see what Shade was thinking, but the two of them still had to avoid Iluna:
"I'm going to have a good rest too, Shade, good night."
In front of Iluna, he gently kissed the side of Shade's face.
"When did your relationship become so good?"
Iluna asked suspiciously, Shade shook his head:
"Speaking of which, I forgot to ask just now. Iluna, is your eye okay now?"
Shade refers to Iluna's eye that was condensed with divinity. If it were not for divinity, the eye that had been sacrificed to the ancient god would not have been able to be restored. In the final battle of [Dark Realm]
, Iluna's eyes seemed to be on fire. Although this allowed her to see in the dark, Shade was worried that other problems would occur with her eyes.
"This eye is very good, better than normal eyes."
Iluna answered, tilted her head and glanced at Luvia, then walked up to Shade and kissed the side of Shade's face gently:
"Good night then, Shade."
She blushed and said softly, then smiled and took Luvia's arm and left with her.
Shade took Mia and sent the two girls downstairs, watching them walk towards the intersection of Saint Teresa Square.
Finally, he looked up at the moon in the sky:
"Do you think I can finally rest for a while?"
【Probably yes.】
"Meow~"
Mia squirmed in Shade's arms, squinting her eyes and letting out a soft cry.
"I'm asking the moon."
The moonlight shines on Xia De's face, and the scenery of March hanging high in the night sky is something you can never see in his hometown.
【Yeah?】
She was laughing softly, and that laughter was very reassuring.
(Little Mia is running)
After the incident with Darkness was over, Shade thought that his life had finally entered a peaceful time.
The next day was Monday, the second day of the Harvest Moon. Shade didn't think of opening this week's gifts until he woke up early in the morning.
While having breakfast, I moved the [God's Gift Box] to the dining table on the second floor, but as soon as I opened the box, before I even reached out, Mia scurried in quickly.
Shade's hand "struggled" with the cat in the box for at least ten seconds before he successfully fished it out.
But when I grabbed the cat by the back of the neck and pulled it out, I found that its tail was hooked to a string of things. When I pulled the whole cat out, I saw that it was a string of dried sausages.
Because he didn't like to cook by himself, Shade did stock similar foods at home, but Shade could guarantee that he never stuffed dried sausages into gift boxes. It was really blasphemy to use God's creation as pure food.
"So, that's this week's gift?"
Shade thought as he held the string of small sausages. With a slight stroke of his finger, the silver moonlight flashed and he cut two small slices from the sausage at the end.
Put one piece on the table in front of Mia, and eat one by herself. It tastes very good:
"But, is this a gift that Mia got or a gift that I got?"
As soon as the thought came to an end, information about what needed to be done this week immediately appeared. Shade needed to take the family pet out for a walk at least twice, each time for no less than half an hour.
"Is this a request for me or for Mia?"
Even if there is no such request, Shade will go out to walk the cat. But for Mia, going out of the house is a complete bad thing for it.
While eating breakfast, I read the newspaper for a while, and the newspaper mentioned the news that Saxe Cavendish was convicted of treason. Although this could be considered a big news, it only reached the third page of the Torbesk Morning News.
And it's just an area in the second half of the third edition. It seems that the king also wants this matter to end like this.
"Execution has been carried out"
Shade sighed at the final result, not because he pitied the other party, after all, he didn't even know what the other party looked like. He just sighed at the royal family's ruthless decision, but if he thought about it carefully, in order to maintain the stability of the kingdom, this approach actually
is the correct one.
The daily life of a foreigner is actually quite boring. After breakfast, he originally wanted to trick Mia into taking a bath in the bathroom, but this smart cat seemed to see through his purpose because Shade went to the bathroom in advance to prepare hot water.
While Shade put on the hot water and put on gloves to catch the cat, Mia had already rushed into the bedroom and hid at the top of the closet and refused to come down.
So Shade could only put his plan on hold, thinking that he must make a surprise attack on Mia next time.
But the hot water could not be wasted, so he washed the clothes at home all morning. Looking at the recent weather, summer was over, and he could start preparing autumn clothes.
"Maybe I really should find some maids who can come to the house to cook and clean. If I can't afford full-time maids, I can at least find one that charges by the hour."
This was Shade's thought when he was sitting on a small bench and washing clothes in the basin under the sunshine on the balcony. Although he was tired, he still enjoyed this leisure time:
"One shouldn't belittle one's own achievements, but one shouldn't be overly arrogant either. It's just that as a foreigner, I can face the gods directly and kill demons, but I still have to wash my own clothes. This is definitely not right."
Thinking in his mind, he glanced at Mia the cat squatting next to him. After confirming that Shade had used the hot water in the bathroom, it jumped down from the closet.
"This cat is very lazy. It would be great if it could help with the laundry."
The voice in his ears chuckled, and Shade couldn't help but smile and shake his head. He was amused by his own thoughts.
"Meow~"
The cat's fur seemed to be glowing in the early autumn sunshine. It licked its paws, then stared with big eyes, curiously looking at the bubbles in the water basin that showed colorful colors in the sunlight.
Shade really likes this kind of life.
After washing my clothes, I went out to the MI6 stronghold at around eleven o'clock, which is the "Municipal Waste Management Center" in the West District of Tobesk.
The small gray building located between the snuff bottle shop and the shoemaker's shop specializing in rain boots is hidden in the bustling steam city. If they didn't know in advance that this was a stronghold, ordinary people would hardly be interested in looking at this small building even if they passed by.
.
Shade originally came to see Mr. Giles Johnson from the Facilities Management Office to collect this month's salary, but after knocking on the door, he found that there were other people in the Facilities Management Office.
It's not any other agent, but Shade's boss, Director Dark Anlos.
"Look who this is, Knight Hamilton."
This very ordinary-looking gentleman shook hands with Shade enthusiastically. When he saw Shade holding the envelope containing the bill, he knew what he was here for.
Asking Mr. Johnson to help Shade handle the salary, reimbursement and bullet quota matters, Director Anlos motioned to Shade to follow him.
The two walked to the shelves inside the equipment management. Mr. Anlos said with a smile:
"I was originally thinking of going to your place later, but I didn't expect to meet you here by such a coincidence."
With this look on his face, he could only say "I have a task for you" written on his face.
"Excuse me, what's going on?"
Shade asked cautiously.
Although when she first joined the job, Miss Carina said that Shade did not have to do anything. But if there is really a need, Shade will not refuse the tasks assigned by MI6. Presumably Director Anlos will not give him particularly difficult tasks.
Things to do.
"Mr. Hamilton, I remember he is a master of Rhodes. So this Friday, which is the sixth day of the Moon of Blossoms, the big city players are opening. Have you participated?"
Mr. Anlos asked, and Shade nodded:
"certainly."
"It would be great."
Director Anlos knew all about it. The holders of the Founding Series cards would participate in this competition. It is no longer news to local Rhodes players. Even if he is not the director of MI6, this kind of thing can be found casually.
People would already know it if they asked.
"It's like this, Shade Hamilton, Branch 6 has a small mission, and it needs agents who can participate in this competition to complete it. Do you know about the Principality of Set?"
Shade thought for a while, and through his memories and "her" prompts in his ears, he hesitantly asked:
"That small country located in the southeast of Dra Rayon, between Dra Rayon and Kassenrik? If I remember correctly, this country was separated from Dra Rayon three hundred years ago. At that time, Set
·The Archduke Cavendish was allowed to establish a principality. Initially, the principality and the kingdom had unified taxation and military ties. In recent centuries, it has become increasingly independent, but it is still nominally under the jurisdiction of Delrayon."
"Yes, the Sixth Bureau suspects that the Principality of Set has a connection with Kasenrik that we don't know about. Because of the special location of the principality, we cannot allow it to completely turn to Kasenrik, or even allow them to have a closer relationship.
, this is a huge threat to border security. Knight, please look at this photo."
Mr. Anlos handed Shade a black and white photo of a handsome man who looked to be in his thirties.
"Virgil Cameron has no official status on the surface, but secretly he is the lover of the contemporary Grand Duke of Set. He relies on his looks and flattery to gain a high status in the duchy's court."
"The contemporary Grand Duke is a woman?"
Shade asked curiously.
"No, Archduke Alexis Cavendish is male."
Mr. Anlos glanced at Shade and put the photo away.
