Episode 2: Crazy (1).

“…Hmm. The tea that came in this time smells good.”

Crow said as he brewed tea with tea leaves that a crow had picked up carefully so as not to be torn by his claws.

The water in the teacup, which was heating up with heat, boiled with a fierce sound.

Soon it was hot like a devil and white steam like an angel.

The scent of the tea was very good, as Crow said.

In a situation where I felt like I was smelling the scent of flowers in the middle of a flower field, I raised my head and smelled the scent.

“Ah! So what was the story about?”

Crow pushed a teacup towards me while humming a familiar song.

“…Was talking about forming an organization with me, Mr. Crow.”

I held out my teacup and glanced to the side.

“Caw.”

“…”

..It’s very burdensome.

Beside me, black crows lined up in a row and looked at me casually as if they were trying to protect their master.

“..Hmm. Didn’t I say it was an offer I couldn’t refuse?”

Crow looked at me and sipped his tea.

The hot tea went into Crow’s mouth.

Gulp.

Crow’s neck twitched as he accepted the fragrant tea.

Crow stuck out his tongue for a moment to see if the tea was hot, and cooled it with the cold air.

“I do business with villains, but I’m not a villain. I have no intention of making a strange group with you. It’s my principle not to do business that only causes loss.”

Crow shook his head in a clear refusal.

..A more euphemistic refusal than expected.

But Crow.

You haven’t even made an offer yet?

I slowly opened my mouth.

“Your lifespan problem. I’ll take care of it, Mr. Crow. You just need to provide me with funds and other manpower…”

“What are you?”

Such crazy.

Crow came up to me in an instant and thrust a dagger into my neck.

I felt an ominous energy from the dagger touching my neck, so I stopped my neck and rolled my eyes to observe the dagger.

An ominous black energy was rising from the dagger like smoke.

..Looks like a contaminated item.

“How did you know?”

I worked hard to find an excuse.

“..It’s a trade secret. Anyone in the industry would understand.”

Crow looked at me thoughtfully for a moment.

Crow also buys and sells information, so you’ll understand.

..Isn’t it?

Her gaze was so intense that I could feel it passing over my entire body, from my toes to my head.

“..Didn’t I tell you?”

I said with an effortless smile.

“I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse.”

“…..”

Crow stepped back.

“…Huh.”

I held my breath and let out the breath I had been holding back.

The breath he had been holding back with extreme tension was exhaled, and the tension was also exhaled.

Cold sweat dripped from my forehead.

Cold sweat ran down my cheeks and down my neck, and I shivered from the sudden chill.

As expected, I never want to die.

“..Judging by the reaction, it seems like an ordinary person without any ability who is new to this kind of work. What kind of organization are you planning to create?”

Crow sat down with his arms crossed.

..Crow’s words made sense.

Because what I just showed you was the reaction of an ordinary person who, no matter who saw it, had no contact with the underworld.

..Persuasion might be a little difficult.

I opened my mouth hoping that things around me would get better.

“..Will make a family.”

“What?”

“I don’t want to die.”

When I said that, Crow stared at me for a moment before bursting out laughing.

In my own way, without a single lie, I just stated my pure goal…

From Crow’s point of view, it sounded a bit… Maybe a lot of fun.

Crow, who couldn’t stop laughing while holding his stomach, said while gently wiping the tears that flowed down his face.

“People who don’t want to die won’t do this. He’s such a fun guy.”

“…So. I’ll solve your lifespan problem. However, I need a little help from you. How about it? Do you want to ‘contract’?”

I deliberately put a little more emphasis on the word ‘contract’ when I said it.

And at my words, Crow’s expression hardened again.

“…How far do you know? No. How much do you know?”

“That too. It’s a trade secret.”

At the repeated words like my machine, Crow sighed and said.

“I feel like I’m getting tired all of a sudden. Okay. Let’s make a contract. Things related to lifespan were an urgent matter for me too.”

Crow nodded and stretched out his hand in the air.

“Caw.”

Then a crow sitting on a perch next to me flew towards Crow’s arm.

The crow soon landed on Crow’s arm.

Crow said to the crow.

“Manage the contract.”

Then the crow gave a long cry.

“aaah!!!”

It was like a judge’s sentence.

It was the sound of the baton being struck down to pass sentence.

It was the sound of Dike, the goddess of justice blindfolded, striking her sword after finishing her weighing.

In many ways, it seems to be a solemn and serious sound.

The crow croaked for a long time and soon began to emit black smoke.

The crow continued to emit black smoke as if it were holding a raging fire.

The smoke that came out of the crow’s body gathered in front of me and Crow.

A huge amount of black smoke began to condense into a square shape.

“…Let’s go.”

The smoke was compressed, and soon a black contract was completed.

Crow held up the contract and spoke as if declaring it again.

“Me Crow… What’s your name?”

“..Is it also a villain activity name?”

“..Well, it doesn’t matter. Calling someone else’s name will have side effects on you.”

You speak cruel words.

What should I do…

..Yes. Decided

“Obscue. The name of the activity is Obskue.”

“That’s an unusual name.”

Crow tilted his head and continued.

“I, Crow and Obskue proceed with the contract. B, Obskue must solve the lifespan problem of A and Crow. In return, A and Crow must enter B and Obskue’s organization and help him. .”

Crow finished his long talk.

Suaaa…

The white letters left their mark across the black paper.

“I, A, Crow agrees to this contract.”

Crow finished his words and looked at me.

..Now it’s my turn to speak.

“..I, Obscue, agree to this agreement.”

“aaah!!”

The crow crowed again.

The contract turned into black smoke again.

The contract, which returned as black smoke, flowed around Crow and my nose as if it had a will.

..If the cloud had a will, it would look like this.

“Inhale.”

Crow spoke briefly and took a deep breath.

Black smoke billowed into Crow’s nose.

..This is no problem for your health, right?

“..Suck!”

I also caught my breath.

Black smoke entered my nose.

It soon entered the lungs and spread throughout the body.

The black smoke that penetrated into the body of the person who inhaled it will stand on its own and wait for the time to do its job.

..I hope this black smoke never comes to work.

I exhaled the breath I had inhaled.

Fortunately, the black smoke did not escape as it was mixed with my exhaled breath.

The contract has been completed.

“Okay. Contract completed. Now tell me the strategy… Cough Coke!”

Crow started coughing heavily.

“..Are you okay?”

I asked politely, and Crow shook his hand and said.

“It’s okay. It’s okay. You know. It’s a side effect of using abilities.”

Crow coughed for a long time.

“..Keuhhhhh! So. Now tell me your plan.”

“…Good.”

I explained the plan.

Everything from start to finish.

How to prepare.

Crow knows what to do.

What will I do?

The explanation is over.

Crow looked at me blankly and then said.

“Are you crazy?”

*******

Ding-dong.

The bell rang.

I raised my head at the sudden sound and looked up.

The number 67 was flashing red.

I gasped, nervous about what was about to happen.

My heart started racing like crazy.

The pulsating sound made by the heart flowed through the blood vessels and vibrated the whole body.

“Customer number 67~!”

As I sat there nervously, an employee who had been sitting still called me.

“..Ah! Yep!”

After answering that, I hurriedly got up and walked over to the staff.

The sunlight coming in through the window was shining on me, and I crouched involuntarily as I headed towards the staff.

I hurriedly sat down in a chair and the clerk looked at me strangely and said.

Black hat and black mask. On top of that, even black sunglasses to top it off.

The clerk in a neat suit with bobbed hair looked me up and down.

The beautiful eyes on the pretty face passed me by.

“Please take it out.”

Perhaps seeing me from a while ago, the staff said bluntly.

“…Yes.”

I sighed and put my hand in my bag.

Dumping. Rummage.

As I rummaged through my bag for a while, the clerk gave an annoyed expression and said,

“Please take it out quickly. So, whether to withdraw the money or not…?”

Clap.

Her black stuff was pointed at her.

A terrible product of human science.

The weapon that lifted humanity to the top of the food chain.

It was a gun.

I tried to straighten my trembling vocal cords and opened my mouth.

“Cow, hands up!”
