The update will resuue, this chapter feels ards
A certain place in Britain
Within the city where buildings were built cramped with each other, there was a restaurant ooden plank standing quietly around the outskirt
――ILS
A cute letter font was decorating above the entrance in arch shape
It seemed to be the name of the restaurant It was really small, but there was a sentence "I Love Salmon" written under it, so it could be understood that it wasn't the abbreviation of soanization or system, but a mere sentence of salmon lover
The wooden plank had salular h――written on it, so it could be i salh this door, throay all your preconception" with oppressive calligraphic style Two lines were drawn on top of it and a sentence "Enjoy salmon sandwich normally!" ritten on eh an obstinate cook wrote words that were strangely obsessive, but a girl completely rejected it and rewrote the sentence
Well, in fact it was exactly like that
「Boss~ Please look! I finished a cute salmon illustration! Let's put it in front of the café!」
「Rejected」
Inside the shop, a cute female with brunette hair in short bob style――the e up a sketch book energetically
Seeing that, a hard faced and short haired large lass that was already shiny behind the counter――shop er Woody completely rejected the proposal
「Why!?」
「Don't you understand!?」
It seeet it She looked puzzled
Samantha――a university student as nineteen years old this year, she was doing part tie A pain in the neck who tended to be careless and blindly believed other people
Previously, Sa in the café that was chosen as the place for handing over Emily to Gamma Pharmaceutical in the Berserk incident She carelessly declared 「This café's salot fired
After that, she had her eyes opened to the deliciousness of saled to y of the event
To be frank, Woody who caent from Gamma Pharmaceutical washed his hand from that business due to Kousuke's salmon sandwich transmission, and like this he opened a business of café that specialized in saler Woody also doubled as an infor his experience as former human of the underworld At first, many suspicious people came and went froirl like Sairl, isn't she the girl froot addressed by boss and then blundered?」
So that And then, seeing her figure that was stuffing her cheeks with his prided sal eyes and full elist of salmon sandwich! Please hire er Woody folded
Saelist of salreatly displeased with outer appearance andin order to improve this café that tended to have slow business so that it would be advertisedaround her sketch book while insisting her displeasure
Manager Woody opened his mouth with a weary face
「Nothe atmosphere of this café What's this, this excessively cute illustration My café is somber, a café for hardcore salmon sandwich lover」
「That's the reason why there aren't that et should be the young girls!」
Indeed, the illustrations that were drawn on the sketch book was a cute defor and picture of cute salmon that explained the nboard at the front, it would surely attract the attention of young woer Woody wanted to make his caféfemales
Rather, it was the opposite A famous café that was known only to those in the know It would be fine if it was a café where only regular custoather and rejected first time customer that ca by with only the sale every
And so,
「Rejected」
「Whyyyy! Boss, do you have any motivation!? Do you think you can take the world like that!?」
It seeer Woody was like a master Of course, it wasn't in the sense of the master of café If it had to be said, it was a master in the sense of an expert
He was the master of sal like 'How can you stay like this without having your nahout the world!'
「I understand Then, not just young girls, how about this illustration so that boys will also visit!? I have confidence with this one!」
Saying that, Saer Woody's expression convulsed Hea headache while responding
「I', but let's say we make this café cute But still, no matter how I look that picture ain't cute at all! That's aman will co here, this café will co with my café huh!?」
On the book, there was the picture of defor fro a skirt, while winking with fish eye
Certainly, it was a er Woody launched a tsukkoesture that looked like「Good griefYare yare」, then she began to explain like a teacher renorant student
「Boss, don't you know? This is the so called "anthropomorphication" It's the essence of Japanese culture! It see theree it is spreading throughout the world」
「Spit it out, Samantha The one who planted that kind of half-baked and prejudiced knowledge, was it Paradis-neesan?」
「Yes! Vane-oneesan taught ree that she called Vanessa with a pet nah he was an inforot encroached! Woody held his head
But, at that time a somewhat aard voice resounded
「That's……sorry」
「Oou!? Who――wait, ain't this boss!」
When he noticed, a Japanese youth was inside the café s wryly Samantha raised her voice 「Kya!?」 in surprise
Kousuke harbored a subtle feeling of guilt for so the elist Vanessa He apologized while sporting a wry s me boss didn't I, Woody」
「Aa~, sorry It was a habit Then, head What is it today? Are you going to have a take home like usual?」 (TN: Head in the sense like heade, but that's how it is in the raw Bear with it)
「No, calling uess Today I came for a request of "that side"」
「Oops, is that so」
Manager Woody's eyes narrowed slowly It was a sharp gaze that was fitting for a former human of the underworld
Kousuke sat on the counter seat Saer Woody whose ated while her eyes sparkled
「Good afternoon,that you are here, how about a new salht of that the boss okayed」
「Saht, I'll have that I think I'll eat it while Woody is investigating」
Not to mention Kousuke who often came to buy salmon sandwich, even Vanessa, Grant faents of security bureau were also frequently coular custoarding er Woody's hidden face, he properly explained it in the interview, so Samantha also knew about it It seemed Samantha as full of curiosity was also unable to resist the little sh, the point of how she was trying to reform such café to have fancy atmosphere was a mark of how she was truly a pain in the neckThe visit of the agents would be receding like that
Saht footsteps and ian to prepare the new salan to talk while glancing at her
「And, what kind of situation you are poking your nose into this ti case by "that person"?」
「As expected, your infor about it I cannot contact him」
「Then……could it be, it's the explosion incident of Vatican?」
Manager Woody gave coffee to Kousuke whilea half-exasperated expression because it felt like this would be another troublesoer Woody referred to was about de Hajime
Kousuke couldn't help but s that really sounded like talking about a mastermind of a secret society
Kousuke explained blah-blah yadda-yadda about the incident at Vatican
A fantasy human like Kousuke actually also existed in Vatican Such inforer Woody as a foranization
「As I thought you didn't know huh」
「Well, although I belonged to Hydra, I was like a private soldier of Kaysis I was just an underling a I can boast a wide information network due to my connection from my mercenary period, but a secret infor that doesn't reach uess so Rather, I wonder if the top brass of Hydra didn't know about this, like Kaysis and also Jefferson and others?」
「I wonder about that I think theyhistory but……」
Actually, the top brass of Hydra knew about it But, thinking about that organization's objective, it was less even if they laid their hand on it In addition, throughout long years, that organization had received painful retaliationit, so they were unable to lay their hand on it even knowing about it
Back to the topic
「More iuys I think there is an organization that they belonged to but……」
「H of ID and face picture of five people――Leda and others who died strangely in the church to er Woody took the smartphone and took a look After that he transferred the data into his own s name in the underworld Can I take a bit of ti it will take?」
「It will depend on the co my acquaintances, so I cannot say Well, this is a request from head, so I'll do it super express For now, please wait for thirty minutes」
「Got it Until then, I'll taste Sa evangelist, but her ood Please enjoy to your heart's content」
Saer Woody's evaluation about her seeer Woody's expression became one of 「Damn it」 Saot carried away
Kousuke waved his hand casually to Woody as entering his work rooaze to the salht to him
「Here, please enjoy It's the neork, "miso mustard salmon sandwich"!」
「Miso mustard!?」
The new recipe seemed to be a Japanese style salmon sandwich It seeent caused Saet the idea from miso cutlet sandwich and set out to develop a salmon sandwich that used miso
She didn't use raw sal with so it a lot The shredded cripsy cabbage also had mayonaise applied on it
Kousuke put it into his mouth a bit timidly
A beat later
「De, delicious……」
「Yes-! Yes! Yaaahaaaa!!」
Saer Woody was a rand master Or perhaps a maestro No, he was the founder of salod……
As a trainee, the word of praise frohest peak!
「Yep It's seriously tasty But, well, as expected, I like sandith raw saluess」
「!?」
Sa in vexation Dust was going to rise up fro that, so Kousuke wished that she would stop it
「Saiveit right away」
Samantha disappeared behind the counter with a face that looked like the emoticon (´・ω・`) The day the title "trainee" was taken away from here seemed to be still far away
Exactly thirtytrivial talk with Saot out froood inforer Woody scratched his head aardly However, his expression looked conflicted and baffled to be said that he sianization behind those guys, it feels like it will be better to rely on the intelligence bureau If it's head, you will be able to request theht?」
「I think I can do that but……」
Fro Kousuke questioned hier Woody ulp before starting to report his investigation result
「I investigated using various pulls too, but I cannot believe that those guys has connection with underworld organization Lawyer, university student, priest, retired forround Other than that Vatican's uys have nothing connecting the transaction with each other……there is no connection at all」
「Are they hiding it so thoroughly you cannot find it?」
「I cannot deny that possibility That's why, in that case you better rely on the intelligence bureau, or givethis」
If it was er Woody who had underworld inforht that he would be able to pull out all inforo that easily
「But you know, head There is a bit of "common point" that bother uys, the people close to theic incidents」
「! Specifically?」
From what he was told, for the lawyer it was his fiancée, for the college student it was his parents, for the priest his wife and son, for the forhter-in-law, for the laborer it was his wife They lost their important people Killed What's more, all of those happened in the shape of betrayal by soony fro it hell
Was that ht like that……
「Also, there is one e student, about theer Woody's report caused Kousuke as about to get absorbed into his thought to return to his senses feeling taken aback
「After their incident, they got involved with police several tiain?」
「No, it's the opposite They caused incident」
「……What kind?」
「Even if I said incident, it wasn't at the level of getting jailed There were only things that only got them strictly warned……the fore student ith several of his friends Both of theion」
――God won't answer He won't grant salvation
Leda's words crossed Kousuke's mind once more
「The round of religion right? Thinking about his act of betrayal too, I think this is really suspicious」
「Certainly……」
Manager Woody had picked up good information in this short time Kousuke didn't say that ords, but inside his heart he sent his praise to Woody
Then, at that ti to make new anthromorph salmon illustration quietly so that she wouldn't be a bother see She suddenly opened her mouth
「Saay, Mister Kousuke」
「H Kousuke, Saer Woody Just in case, she confirht for her to enter the conversation
This point where she could discern that in the end she was just an e a pain in the neck Manager Woody thought that while nodding with a wry s so faith? Actually, there is also my friend who experienced that……」
「Eh? Seriously?」
「Seriously It was about two h misfortune in his family My friend, she said that she would support her boyfriend, but after that, the condition of that boyfriend seee you say? Like what?」
「My friend said, that he was scary It was like he was a bit not normal And then, me and several other friends had discussion with her But then, it seems that there also quite many friends of my other friends who are like that boyfriend too」
