Chapter 131 A Night With Vitz
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Of course, the police didn’t make it obvious by sending it directly to this hotel. The police only know about the contact person in the Vitz who is linked to Midnight Fangs.
That contact then connects to another contact, leading to me.
”…Hmm.”
Lana opened the envelope and was reading it eagerly by the window. I quickly opened the police envelope and read it too.
It was an invitation for a meeting with Isabella.
The date was tonight. It barely made it into my hands. Well, since there was a reschedule date written, it wasn’t a big deal.
”Hmm…”
Lana was holding a pen and seeming troubled as she looked at the letter.
I opened another envelope and read its contents. It was a message from Midnight Fangs.
’I asked for time to consider a settlement with Golden Crab, and they replied that they will prepare a gift. They won’t bring it to the capital――meaning they will prepare something for the handover at Vitz.’
We’re planning to sell Golden Crab to the police. However, even in the underground world, there is a sense of loyalty.
It wouldn’t be good to openly say we’re “settling” and then go back on it immediately.
’Oh, I really wanted to settle things with them. Honestly, I’ve been thinking about various things. But before that, Golden Crab was wiped out by the police. So, we have no choice but to take over their territory. From now on, we’ll take care of the lower ranks. Wow, we are really righteous, aren’t we?’
This is the ideal scenario.
Stretch out the settlement as much as possible, keep Golden Crab interested. At the same time, sell information and favors to the police.
It is preferable for the police to directly dismantle the organization. We will then take care of the leftover money and the lower ranks.
The main business of Midnight Fangs is operating brōtḥels. And this is legal in this country. We will cut out the illegal parts of Golden Crab and take over their legal business.
’…Understood. I will let them know that no gifts are needed. Instead, I want information. It seems the police are moving, but is that organization really okay?’
Now, how will Golden Crab respond? It would be best if they guide us in various ways to show that their organization is fine.
After finishing the letter, I review today’s curriculum with Lana.
Since we’ve come this far for our studies, it would be a waste to end up with an empty head.
As I prepare for tomorrow, night begins to fall. Lana yawns loudly.
”…I’m getting sleepy.”
”We used quite a bit of magic today, after all.”
”Alba seems fine, though…”
”That’s just magic. Plus, right now, it’s important to know how to use magic in chemistry and industry.”
”Well, that’s true…”
In this world, the difference in one person’s magic isn’t very meaningful. It only really helps when you want to punch someone.
What matters more is academics and organizational strength. In this world, which is now in the middle of modern times, those things have more value.
And then it’s bedtime. Lana seemed tired, and as soon as she got into bed, she started to fall asleep.
”Zzz…”
So cute. I place my hand on Lana’s cheek. She’s completely asleep.
”I’ll just step out for a bit.”
I cast sleep magic.
The target is Lana.
”Hmm…zz…yawn…”
Lana has an incredible resistance to magic.
Even for me, it’s impossible to do anything to conscious Lana with this type of magic.
However, it’s different when she’s asleep. I’m not trying to play tricks――I just don’t want her to wake up while I’m out.
After confirming that Lana is in a deep sleep, I take out the Midnight Fangs mask.
I didn’t think I’d have to use this disguise outside of the capital…. I put on the mask and do a simple disguise before going out onto the balcony.
”…Time to go.”
It was sunny during the day, but it’s a bit cloudy at night. It’s hard to be noticed.
Staring at the distant lighthouse, I dashed into the darkness. I wonder what the meeting with Isabella will be like.
