Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Secret Plan

"They...... Missing? Renault looked at President Makarov in surprise.

"yes." The old man leaned back and sat down on the back of his chair in a dejected manner, "Every once in a while, Felid would send feedback to the guild about the mission, and he was always so reassuring in this kind of thing. But it had been ten days since they had last sent a message, and if it weren't for the request of that stinky boy from Lagersas, they were in some kind of trouble. ”

"With their strength, even if there is any emergency, they should be able to get out safely, so you don't have to worry too much." Renault tried to reassure.

"Who's going to worry about that stinky boy...... Really, I'm afraid that they will cause some big trouble outside and discredit the honor of the guild! "That kid has always been unruly, and the three henchmen never try to dissuade him, and every time he wants to mess around, they will help to make trouble, really, a guy who lacks discipline." ”

"With that kid's bad character, he will definitely challenge some opponents that he can't win at all. He has been like this since he was a child, he didn't have a clear understanding of his own strength at all, and he shouldn't have given him that violent magic crystal...... Really, the old man didn't want to talk about that son of a crime anymore. ”

A drop of cold sweat rose from Renault's forehead, it was the first time he had seen President Makarov like this, and he even called himself an "old man".

"And what do you want me to do?" Renault asked.

"I want you to take that mission again, no, to be precise, to investigate the details of that mission, from the information the Council of Magic, it seems that something happened there, but the content is extremely vague, and it is impossible to speculate on the specific details." Makarov pulled out a thin paper bag from the mountain of archives and handed it to Renault. Renault took it and opened it directly, taking out a piece of information with only a few lines of explanation.

"This kind of thing...... Actually from the Magic Council? Renault took a breath and grinned at the insignia of the Magic Council stamped on the piece of paper, "It's like saying, 'We're suspicious.'" ”

"So, I hope you can join the 'investigation team' composed of elites from various guilds to find out who is secretly doing something this time." President Makarov stood on the table and said with a serious expression.

"Other guilds?" Renault raised an eyebrow.

"That's right." President Makarov jumped back into his chair from the table, "In the name of the Magic Council, someone issued a strange mission to almost every magic guild that could be ranked, and then, without exception, all sorts of problems arose with those tasks. Now that everyone's eyes are on the Magic Council, Yajima and they are also under a lot of pressure, so this investigation also includes his request. ”

Renault had a headache, and his brain was about to be overloaded with increasingly complex information, and he shook the piece of paper in his hand and sighed, "Although I know that those 'conspirators' in the Magic Council are not very scheming, but pointing to such an obvious situation makes me suspect that someone is pouring dirty water on them." After all, this kind of mentally retarded behavior that is comparable to carrying the murder weapon in your arms to report the crime after killing someone is too unacceptable. ”

"In short, after you go to investigate, you should have an eyebrow, someone will be responsible for this matter, and everything will be left to you." President Makarov nodded at Renault.

"That's right." Just as Renault turned around, the old man added, "If you have the chance, help me bring back that uneasy grandson, as well as his followers, by the way." ”

Renault waved his hand, signaling that he understood. Even if you care, you have to deliberately add the word "by the way", this kind of "Dolea-style tsundere" is really in the same vein.

It feels like we're going to get into strange events again...... Why can't I do some daily tasks like acting, making cakes, or collecting ice cubes, Renault thought to himself.

Brush!

A figure suddenly appeared beside Renault.

"You can't walk on your feet, do you? Do you have to teleport every time you appear? Renault glanced at Doranbart who flashed to his side in disgust. So you're the partner for this mission? ”

Dolan Barter nodded, put his hand on Renault's shoulder, and said without a hint of delay: "Let's go, I'll take you to meet the colleagues involved in this investigation." ”

The next moment, the two people disappeared directly from the door of the president's office.

In the halls of a stylish tavern in the south of the town of Magnolia, Renault and Doranbart suddenly appeared.

Renault shook his head for a moment, then adjusted to the sudden change of circumstances, and he looked around, and found that there was not even a single figure in the tavern, not only the drinkers, but also the owner and waiter.

"What's going on, hey, anyone?" He shouted subconsciously.

"Stop shouting, there's no one else here." Doranbart said whimically.

"What? Didn't you say...... What the hell is going on. Renault, who was still immersed in President Makarov's information bombardment, was suddenly pulled into a completely unfamiliar environment before he could fully wake up, causing his brain to completely shut down.

"This is a tavern in the name of a friend of mine, but the real owner is me, and this is where the investigation team meets." Doranbart explained, he thought for a moment, and added, "Because this incident may be related to the Magical Council, or even the royal family, it is necessary to avoid the eyes and ears of others and use this as a cover." ”

"I see." Renault gave Doranbart a thumbs up approvingly, "Sure enough, I think it's hard to think that this partner is rare and reliable." ”

"But...... There's not even a single drinker here. Renault's fingertips swiped on the tables and chairs around him, and his fingers were immediately stained with a layer of floating soil. And it's too old-fashioned, how long has it been since it was cleaned? ”

"From the day the agreement is signed...... It must have been a year. Doranbart's tone didn't waver, "That's why I'm here now." ”

"Huh? By the way, when is the day when everyone meets? ”

"A week later."

"What?" Renault exclaimed, "Then what are you bringing me here for now?" ”

"Work." Doranbart said, throwing a suit onto Renault, and putting on an apron and sleeves with astonishing speed, and even a dust-proof cloth towel over his head.

"I said that we have to hide from people, so of course we have to be realistic, neither of us is a well-known type, so it is best to dress up as a store manager and waiter, we have to turn this place into a functioning tavern within this week, starting with the cleaning!"

Out of nowhere, Doranbart conjured up two new sets of brooms and mops, and put a white mask over his face, "For the sake of the fairy tail, move, boy!" ”

"You, you...... You're insane! Renault roared frantically.
