ALL NOVEL chapter 65 - Divine Cat Mii-chan opens the safe.
65 Divine Cat Mii-chan opens the safe.
The hunter found a safe with only a small amount of coins inside.
“This one seems to be a decoy. The real one must be the one Nero found.”
A hunter with lockpicking skills tried to open it but failed.
“Perro, you have lockpicking skills too, right?”
“Yeah, I do. But I’ve only ever used it on house doors… Well, I’ll give it a try.”
I wondered what Perro had been unlocking at home.
“Mii…”
Perro took out some tools and began working seriously on the safe.
“Ugh, I can’t do it… My skills aren’t enough.”
“Guess we’ll have to call a professional later.”
The hunters lost interest in the safe and moved on to other searches.
“Mii~”
For some reason, Mii-chan started tapping me. What’s up? Mii-chan handed me something she was holding—her favorite red gem necklace. A key? No way… Click. When I brought the necklace closer, it made a sound… Are you serious?
“Oh, n-never mind!”
I quickly covered Perro’s mouth to prevent him from saying anything unnecessary.
“Mii-chan! Please persuade Perro not to say anything!”
“Mii~”
“F-Fine, if the princess says so, I’ll keep quiet…”
Of course, I hadn’t confirmed it yet, but it was pretty clear what this meant. If people found out, it would be a serious problem. So, a strict gag order was in place.
But how did this happen? I checked Mii-chan’s necklace again. It turned out to be an AF—an unlocking necklace. Why? I’ll think about this later.
“Jin, we managed to open the safe. Tehepero.”
“Mii~”
“Tehepero? Is that about Perro?”
Let’s avoid confusion and keep Perro quiet for now.
“So, how did you open it?”
“Just kind of… randomly?”
“Randomly, huh…”
Inside the safe were numerous documents and four bags filled with gold coins. It was less than expected—no treasures or silver, just gold coins. Maybe I was dreaming of something grander?
“You’re expecting too much. Even the mafia is just one organization. They have personnel costs, maintenance fees, and various expenses. Plus, they might be diversifying their risk by spreading out their money,” Jin explained.
That was a rather realistic take. I guess I should consider risk diversification too. But where would be safer than Mii-chan’s bag?
“Mii~?”
Mii-chan tilted her head, looking curious because I was staring at her. It seemed like she was asking, “What’s up?”
“I was just thinking how cute Mii-chan is.”
“Mii…?”
Mii-chan blushed and looked even more adorable. Her cuteness is overwhelming!
“What are you all doing? More importantly, look at this. This is serious.”
Jin was looking at the documents from the safe. What could be so serious?
“Look at this. It has the names of earls from this country… and even marquises.”
These documents were proof that the nobility of this country were connected with the mafia. Should I pass this on to the queen? I think I should. If anyone can use this information well, it’s the queen.
“I’ll take these. I have a contact at the royal palace, so I’ll deliver them.”
“Hey, do you understand what this means?”
“In short, it means corrupt nobles, right? I know someone who can handle this well.”
“Is that so? Then I’ll leave it to you. This is too dangerous for me. Nero, you should get rid of it quickly,” Jin said.
It seemed like the major part of the operation was complete. Now, they just needed to catch the problematic client and have him spill everything at the guild.
The other team of hunters should be on their way to capture the problematic client, and they planned to regroup at the Hunter Guild. After showing the items to Yan and confirming they were correct, everything was set for the Hunter Guild to take over.
A large number of hunters surrounded the guild, including those who had returned from their missions and were joining the scene. This was getting serious—if things weren’t handled carefully, a riot could break out.
Upon arriving at the Hunter Guild, Guild Master Zest greeted them, with a pale-faced Seltio standing beside him.
“What are you doing here?”
“What? I’m just correcting the lazy aspects of the guild.”
“I’ve heard. So, what happened?”
“They’re still on their way. Please wait.”
The expected guests hadn’t arrived yet. Guild Master Zest asked about the incident where Seltio had thrown the guild staff ID and made a scene.
“I hear you’ve resigned from the Hunter Guild. What are you planning to do?”
“Well, if I have to work in such a corrupt place, I’d rather refuse and become a court chef’s apprentice,” Seltio replied.
“Stop with the harshness in front of me…” Guild Master Zest grumbled.
“If the Guild Master had done his job properly, none of this would have happened,” Seltio retorted.
“Ugh… you’re right,” Zest admitted begrudgingly.
It seemed the awaited guest had arrived.
“What are you doing? Do you know who I am to treat me this way!”
“Welcome. We’ve been expecting you, Mr. Ebb, the mafia’s henchman.”
“W-What are you talking about?”
“Your connection with the mafia is already known to all the hunters here. Surrender now.”
“……”
The stage was set. Now, let’s see justice served!
“Mii~!”
