“…”
“…”
An awkward silence filled the room.
However, the listening device continued to transmit the sounds of my doppelganger and Elsa engaging in sexual intercourse, making the situation even more uncomfortable.
Philip scratched his head, feeling embarrassed, while the female members, except for Kage, slowly blushed.
Damn it, let’s turn it off quickly.
-Beep!
I turned off the listening device.
Once again, an awkward silence filled the room.
I wanted to speak, but I felt like it would make me feel even more pathetic.I glanced around, trying to gauge the situation.
“Master, is your doppelganger mating?”
Kage asked innocently, tilting her head.
“I don’t know, you idiot!”
Feeling embarrassed, I playfully tapped Kage on the head.
-Smack!
“Ouch! Why did you hit me?”
“Why did you ask such a stupid question?”
“No! You said that your doppelganger was captured, but now it seems like they’re having sex instead of being tortured!”
Damn it, did you think I would be doing the same thing if I were captured?
Honestly, who would expect to have sex when they’re kidnapped?
I felt a bit wronged, but to be fair, I’m not completely blameless.
I knew Elsa’s ability, yet I carelessly turned on the listening device.
Anyway, that’s not the important thing right now.
Although it may seem like my doppelganger and Elsa are having sex for no reason, there’s a specific purpose behind it.
Elsa’s ability is seduction, and by having sex, she’s trying to make my doppelganger groggy, so he’ll reveal information.
Sigh, let’s turn it back on.
No, it’s not that I want to listen to it.
It’s necessary for the operation!
With that thought, I turned on the listening device without hesitation.
The group stared at me as if I were crazy.
Except for Kage, the female members blushed and said in an embarrassed voice, “If you really want to, sir, I can…”
“Mr. Kaine, I’m always ready for you.”
“Please be gentle, Mr. Kaine.”
Fearing that things might not end with just a sexual encounter, I quickly explained Elsa’s ability to clear up any misunderstandings.
After my explanation, the group nodded in understanding.
“I thought you wanted to have sex, sir.”
“Do you think I would want to do that in this situation?”
Yes, I do.
I wanted to respond to their question, but this is not the time for jokes.
At any moment, Elsa might reveal information about the sect.
“Focus and listen carefully. Even in such a situation, they might reveal information.”
“Yes, I understand, Master.”
We listened intently to the sounds of my doppelganger and Elsa having sex, and after two hours, Elsa finally revealed some crucial information.
.
.
.
After hearing the information Elsa revealed, I fell into deep thought.
Hmm, tomorrow morning, before Elsa and a few other members arrive, they’ll attack the orphanage.
To restrain Ange, it’s best to take the orphanage as a hostage.
Ange’s power is beyond what the sect members can handle, even if they attack her together.
Elsa probably knew this, which is why she’s planning to attack tomorrow.
The information they have is limited to knowing that Ange is sleeping at the orphanage tonight.
They don’t know anything beyond that, and even if they try to extract information from my doppelganger, the memory absorption device has already erased his memories. ṝΆℕỗ𐌱Ëṣ
“Then we need to split into two groups…”
I looked around the room.
Except for Ange, the rest of the group seemed fine with going anywhere. However, Ange looked dejected, realizing that her parents had put the orphanage in danger.
I’ll have to take Ange with me.
In her current state, I’m not sure what she might do if I’m not around.
It’s not that I’m worried about her betraying us or anything.
It’s just that her parents might try to sway her with words again.
So, it’s best if Ange comes with me to infiltrate the sect’s hideout.
That means I need to take one more person with me.
I looked at each member of the group, and one person, in particular, was staring at me with wide, eager eyes.
I looked at her and said nonchalantly, “What are you looking at?”
“Eek!”
Kage always has such amusing reactions.
Hmm, should I take her with me?
To be honest, I’m not worried about the Constellation, Lise, or Philip.
They know how to separate business from personal matters.
Although the Constellation and Lise may act crazy at times, they can be serious when needed.
I’m sure they’ll handle things well even without me.
And well, it’s not like I need to worry about the Constellation, who is a transcendent being.
Even if she descended in a weakened state, she’s still a transcendent being.
The sect members attacking her would be like flies buzzing around her.
So, I’m not too worried about them.
However, Kage is different from the other three.
During the field trip, she was serious and didn’t act as foolishly as she’s doing now.
She didn’t lose her composure even when facing the sect members.
But there’s no such thing as 100% certainty.
At that time, the sect members she encountered weren’t her enemies, but there’s no guarantee that none of her enemies will be among those attacking the orphanage.
What if Kage encounters one of her enemies at the orphanage?
Even she might lose her composure in such a situation.
Moreover, there’s another reason why I want to take her with me.
“Kage, do you remember the smell of my doppelganger?”
“Yes, Master. It’s similar to yours but different. How should I describe it…”
“I’m not interested, so you don’t have to explain further.”
“Eek!”
Yes, that’s important.
To be honest, it’s not a big deal for Ange to subdue Elsa.
Even though Elsa has seduction abilities and is a powerful demon, Ange is a saint who is impossible to defeat in the game.
She’s not someone that a mere sect member can handle.
To subdue Ange, they would need someone like Andrew.
Even if they brought Andrew, I’m not sure who would win in a fight between the two of them.
Anyway, I digress. The point is that the probability of Elsa defeating Ange is extremely low.
But that’s not the main issue.
There’s no guarantee that Elsa won’t take my doppelganger hostage.
Honestly, I don’t care if my doppelganger dies, but it’s a shame to waste the item I bought with points.
So, taking Kage, who can track my doppelganger’s scent, with me to the hideout is the best way to ensure his safety.
After all, the tracking device only provides a rough location and not a detailed one.
After thinking it through, I slowly opened my mouth and said, “Then, the Saint, Kage, and I will infiltrate the hideout, while the rest of you will take care of the sect members attacking the orphanage.”
With that, the group nodded solemnly and dispersed.
.
.
.
The next day, Elsa gathered her subordinates and spoke.
“You’ve heard the plan, right?”
“Yes!”
In response to her question, countless members nodded their heads. Among them were Henry and Lien.
Lien knelt on one knee, deep in thought, like the other members.
‘Is this the right thing to do?’
In the past, they had left Ange at the orphanage due to debt. At the time, they wanted to repay the debt quickly and find Ange, but contrary to their intentions, the debt only increased.
As they struggled, a friend introduced them to the sect. At the time, they didn’t know what the sect was about, so they readily joined.
But they shouldn’t have.
Soon after joining the sect, they realized that it was a place where assassination and murder were committed without hesitation.
As soon as they realized this, they wanted to leave, but if they did, they would surely be killed, given their weak powers at the time.
No, it’s fortunate if only the person involved dies.
The sect never leaves anyone alone, whether it’s a member who wants to leave or someone related to them.
In other words, if they had tried to leave, Ange could have been killed as well.
So, the two of them had no choice but to continue working for the sect.
Seven years passed since they joined the sect, and they eventually became part of Elsa’s unit.
During those seven years, they had often thought about leaving the sect, but Henry’s private consultation with Elsa put an end to those thoughts.
At first, Lien felt a sense of dissonance due to Henry’s sudden change in behavior.
He became indifferent to Ange, unlike his usual self, and gradually started to distance himself from Lien as well.
Lien and Henry’s relationship deteriorated, and a year later, Lien realized something.
All the members who had private consultations with Elsa exhibited similar changes to Henry.
Although Lien didn’t know the exact nature of Elsa’s ability, she realized that it involved seducing men.
In the end, Lien continued her activities in the sect with a sense of resignation.
Another seven years passed.
While carrying out the sect’s activities as usual, Elsa called Lien and Henry to her.
It had been a long time since Henry and Lien had worked together on a mission.
After Henry drew a line between them, their relationship became strained, and they rarely met, except for occasional encounters as they passed by each other.
Henry and Lien made their way to Elsa’s room.
There, they received shocking news from Elsa.
‘The boss has ordered me to persuade Ange. If I fail, I must kill her by any means necessary.’
Hearing this order was quite a shock.
Ange was known as a saint in the public eye, and Lien had secretly hoped that she was doing well. But now, with the sect’s order, Lien felt anxious.
After all, the sect would do whatever it takes to complete a mission, regardless of the strength of their target.
Even if Ange is powerful, she is still just one person.
She couldn’t protect everyone.
So, the sect members would likely take hostages related to Ange.
This time, Lien was determined to secretly protect those related to Ange, including David von Kaine.
Lien was even prepared to betray Henry, who had already gone astray, but unfortunately, Elsa got involved.
She was a high-ranking member of the sect, and Lien couldn’t do anything about it, even if she tried to ambush her.
In the end, Lien could only watch helplessly as Kaine was taken away.
As Lien was lost in thought, Elsa spoke up.
“Okay, Henry, you’ll go to the orphanage. Lien, you stay here.”
She was still suspicious of Lien.
Although Lien was upset about the situation, she didn’t show it on the outside.
She needed to do what she could in this situation.
With that in mind, Lien thought of Kaine, who was locked up in a prison.
.
.
.
At the same time, I took out the mask that Andrew used during the royal festival and handed different masks to the other two.
“Master, do I have to wear this?”
“Yes, or your identity will be revealed.”
“Ugh… I understand.”
Kage reluctantly put on the mask.
Ange also put on the mask after hearing my words, with a serious expression on her face.
Hmm, she seems to have made up her mind.
I couldn’t tell what she was thinking, but her expression suggested that she had made some sort of resolve.
“Ms. Origin, please take care of the orphanage.”
At my words, the Constellation nodded and sent me a message.
[If Ange’s parents show up, should I handle them on my own?]
I nodded in response to her question.
Then, Ange, Kage, and I began our journey towards the sect’s hideout.
