Chapter 22: Margaret

Although Rum's lectures are very boring, I have to say that his fighting skills are really good. There are a lot of things that I can incorporate into my fighting skills, and that's very beneficial to me. The morning's time was quickly over from our fights. Rubbing my sore arm, I said goodbye to Rum. Prepare to eat in the cafeteria.

Come to the cafeteria. I happened to see Sister Bei talking to a woman. And judging from Sister Bei's face, it seems that she is very unhappy.

I had just walked to Sister Pei's side, and before I could speak in a hurry, I saw the woman sitting opposite Sister Pei stand up. Said arrogantly. That's it, vermouth. That subordinate about you is written in my name. Bye. The woman walked away with a sarcastic expression. Belmode, on the other hand, sat there with a solemn face, thinking about something.

"Sister Bei. I exclaimed tentatively.

"Oh. It's ice. Would you like to come and eat after training?" Belmode looked at me after his contemplation.

"Hmm. Just finished training. Come over for lunch. I put my hands behind my head and said calmly. "Why is Sister Bei unhappy?"

"Uh-huh......" Belmode frowned. "You saw that woman just now. She is Margaret, another gold medal killer in this base. She was just sitting here talking to me because she was going to take someone from my men. ”

"Ahh

"Huh. You're going to be my guy right away anyway. It doesn't hurt to talk to you. Belmode picked up the glass on the table and took a sip. "Bing, you haven't eaten yet, have you? By the way, I'll tell you about that woman. ”

"Hmm~" I happily agreed. Then he sat down opposite Belmode. After all, it's about the gold medal killer. The more I know, the better it will be for me.

After ordering. I listened to Belmode as I ate.

"There are three gold medal killers in this base. It's gin, margarita, and me. Belmode lit a cigarette and took a puff.

"Uh-huh. I munched on the steak and looked at her intently.

"Although we are both gold medal killers, our tasks are generally different. My main mission is to infiltrate, to infiltrate various parts of the world to obtain the information that the organization needs. And Gin is the executive officer of this base. He is responsible for cleaning up the traitors of the Order. There is also the direct order of the gentleman. Belmode grabbed his glass. After taking a sip, he continued. Margaret, on the other hand, was tasked with assassination outside the organization. Make money for the organization. So she rarely shows up at the base. ”

"Da and Bei write each other, Haixin has a drama, happy?" I squeaked and chewed with a large piece of steak in my mouth. At the same time, he looked at Belmode with wide eyes and a curious baby look. Don't say I'm gluttonous. It's a food that only gold medal killers can enjoy. Although it is just a simple steak. But whether it's the seasoning or the heat. They are all very rare flavors. It's not like the steaks that ordinary members eat, which are grilled and cut out in large pieces.

"Huh. Ice. You swallow it first. Belmode looked at me and couldn't help but scoff.

Well. Goo-goo...... I quickly swallowed the food in my mouth, grabbed another drink next to me, and gulped.

"Whew...... I mean, what does that have to do with Sister Bei's unhappiness?"

"Ahh That's it. The reason why that woman was able to become a gold medal killer. It's because there is a reason for all the killer tasks she completes. Belmode frowned.

"Huh?"

"Hmm. Every time she goes on a mission, she takes one of her men with her. And the purpose of her subordinates is not to help her complete the task. Instead, he replaced her when the task went awry. Let's say she's going to kill someone. As a result, after the killing, she revealed her whereabouts. At this time, she will shoot and wound her own men, or even shoot them directly to replace her and flee herself. The more Belmode spoke, the more angry he became. I frowned a little as I listened to her words. Use someone else's life to pave yourself for yourself. Although I'm a killer myself. But I'm not going to leave my partner behind and run away on my own.

"That. This still has nothing to do with Sister Bei. I asked.

"Huh. Did you know about ice. Because of this woman's practice. That's why she became a gold medal killer. Her achievements are built up by her countless subordinates. And after that. Because she is all about making money for the organization to take on tasks. So the ability of her subordinates naturally can't be too bad. So the organization gave her a convenience. She can take two of our other gold medal killers a year to go to her side. And it's a random pick. Belmode's eyes began to grow angry.

That is to say. She just picked a capable person from Sister Bei's side?" I frowned.

"Ahh That's it. All the people who followed her became a stepping stone for her to become a gold medal killer, and in order to limit the strength of other gold medals, she constantly forced excellent talents into her name, but she did not let anyone live until now. Damn woman, just took my most capable men away. In that case, I don't even have anyone to use it now. If it weren't for the fact that she was a gold medal. I've wanted to kill her for a long time. He said. Belmode snuffed off the cigarette in his hand in hatred.

"Can't the Gold Killer be killed?" I asked the question I'd always wanted to ask. After all, I must leave the organization in the future. So you can take out one more gold medal. The more favorable it is for me.

"Hmm. No. Belmode frowned. "Unless he betrays the Order. In fact, when she left her own men. It's already considered a betrayal. But none of her men came back alive. So no one will confirm it either. Although we are also gold medal killers, we all know about her evil deeds, but there is nothing we can do. Belmode's brow furrowed. I knew I couldn't ask any more.

"Then, Sister Bei, if you need it, I'll be your assistant~" I smiled at Belmode with my little white teeth.

"Huh? Ice. You'd better finish your training and come back to help me. Belmode was a little stunned when he heard my work. Then he laughed happily. "Huh. I feel much better after talking to you. Thank you Ice. But don't worry. It's only a matter of time before you become my subordinate, so if you want to help me, train well. As he spoke, Belmode grabbed his glass and took the last sip of his wine. "Alright. I'm going to get busy. Belmode said, standing up. "I brought some lavender from outside last time and have sent someone to deliver it to you. Goodbye to Ice. ”

"Hmm~Goodbye, Sister Bei~," I replied with a smile.

――――The smell of orchids, the taste of lavender, the taste of home > the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians――――

When Belmode was gone, I put away my smile. Thinking about the conversation we just had. If what Belmode said just now is true. Then Gin who was sent out to complete the mission. Did he go to America to deal with the traitors or did he receive a direct order from the gentleman? and the woman named Margaret. If I become Sister Bei's subordinate, will she be asked to go over one day?

I'm thinking about the future. The organization should have begun research on APTX-4869 by now. But with what I am doing now, I can't get access to it at all. Shiho is still young. It is impossible to receive a research assignment so early. At least ten years later. But this decade. How am I going to survive? Even if it's a drag on training, it's over in eight years. I'm going to go to Belmode for the next two years, and if Margaret does pick it. Then the danger will increase exponentially. The only way to do that is before she kills me. Kill her.

I dragged my chin in thought.

“...... Ice?" a sweet voice called me out of my thoughts.

"Huh? It's Ling. I turned my head to look. It's Ling and a few of them.

"Ice. Hurry up and get down. That's not the place for you to do it. Ling frowned and whispered to me.

"Uh-huh. I reacted. Sister Bei has already left. So I'm sitting here a little bit of a dazzle. Never mind. I'll think about it later. For now, let's train ourselves well. Only in this way can we have the capital to live.

Get out of your seat. A group of four of us went to the training ground. After sending them into place, I went to the dagger training ground. The coach is still Rum. Relative to the morning fight. The dagger looks a little tedious. Rum was nothing more than letting me choose the dagger I liked and start teaching. Before training. I already have my own dagger. It's the British SAS. So it was not picked from rum. Instead, it gets straight to the point. The training program is the swing of the dagger. Stab. Choose. Chop. Chop. The training is for the dummies developed by the organization. This dummy is similar to the musculature of a real person. But there will be no bloodshed. After that, Rum and I practiced sparring with a specially made wooden dagger. And all I have to do is protect myself. Not to be hurt by Rum. At the same time, try to hurt Rum as much as possible. After about two hours, I was tired of the training. Because in addition to the body lì is a little unable to keep up. I was barely hurt by Rum. And in the end, I was able to remove the dagger from Rum's hand with great skill. Rum blows his beard and announces that I can get out of class. Because removing Rum's dagger means that my dagger training in half a year is over.

I'm embarrassed about that, too. Because of the long evasion, I also got a little angry. And the hand is too short to hurt Rum. So he can only unload his dagger as a way to vent his anger. I didn't expect that for this reason I could stop training for half a year. And then a few hours. I discussed with Rum and decided to go back to the martial arts training arena for sparring again. That's what helps me the most.

When I got back to the ring, I started sparring with Rum. It's hard to parry, but it's not hard to hide. Occasionally, there are some counter-attacks. This is the best way for me to strengthen my physical abilities. Thereupon. I spent the afternoon with Ling stunned. Until the night when she came out of the fighting ring, Ling was still staring at me with the eyes of a monster. (Rei and I are training in opposite directions, I dagger her fighting, I fight her dagger.) The same is true of Taiyi and Mary. ）

In the cafeteria. The four of us sat down to eat together. It was as if it was the first time the four of us had eaten together. In the process of eating. Ling didn't talk to me like she usually did. Instead, they kept looking at me. It makes me feel so uncomfortable.

"That. Ling. Is there anything you want to say?"

"......" (staring...... ）

"Don't look at me like that. ”

"......" (then staring...... ）

"I said......" I said helplessly. "Say something, don't you?" I looked at Ling with a helpless smile. Because Ling doesn't speak. Mary and Taiyi, on the other hand, were afraid to talk to me.

"Monster ......" After a long time, Ling spat out a word.

"Huh?"
