Chapter 71: Shiroyasha

~6 min read 1,040 words

Little Garden, East District, Lower Level, 2105380 Outer Gate.

“Phew~ that’s finally settled.”

After signing her name on the last cooperation contract, Black Rabbit slumped forward, lying lazily on the table.

“I’m exhausted.”

“You’ve worked hard, Black Rabbit.”

Not far away, Leticia walked in with freshly brewed tea and poured a cup for Black Rabbit.

“Next, you can rest for a while and wait for the Master to return.”

“Speaking of which, it’s already been three days.”

The ears on top of Black Rabbit’s head swayed left and right, and a look of dissatisfaction appeared on her face.

“He’s the leader of the Community, why is Lin Que always out messing around!”

“Maybe it’s because he’s too bored.”

Leticia speculated: “Although the Master is quite steady in handling things, his personality is very flighty.”

“He couldn’t do anything when he was in the outside world, so now that he’s finally come to Little Garden, he naturally wants to run around and see.”

“I can understand that much.”

Black Rabbit sighed: “19 But when I think about how he left so many troublesome things behind and disappeared himself, I get very angry.”

Defeating [Perseus] was not the end, but a new beginning.

Taking over all the assets of [Perseus], and communicating one by one with the communities that previously cooperated with [Perseus].

Hiring people to manage the shops under [Perseus] to prevent some commercial communities from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

Communicating with some communities that came for their reputation to discuss cooperation.

Normally, at least half of these things should have been done by Lin Que, the leader.

But because he suddenly disappeared, it could only be covered by Black Rabbit, who had just returned two days ago.

For two full days, she hadn’t even closed her eyes, always running around.

“Leticia-sama, I’ll leave it to you for now, I’m going to res......”

“Yo~ Black Rabbit!”

Before Black Rabbit could finish, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Bringing the sisters Akame and Kurome, as well as Mine and the others, Lin Que walked in from outside.

“I’m back! Are you happy?”

“How could I be happy!”

Black Rabbit stood up with a start: “Why did you come back just as I finished handling everything!”

She now has reason to suspect that Lin Que didn’t actually go out to play.

He was just hiding somewhere near the base, and only showed his face when he saw she had finished all the work.

“Black Rabbit, you’ve misunderstood me.”

“Even if I were in the Community, I wouldn’t want to manage these things.”

Although Black Rabbit didn’t say it all, Lin Que, who could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her expression, explained.

“I’ve always been open and aboveboard about slacking off, never hiding it.”

“Woo... that’s true.”

Like a deflated balloon, Black Rabbit’s momentum dropped back down.

Thinking about it carefully, usually when they were at ‘Unknown’, Lin Que never did anything serious.

Every day he was either sunbathing while bullying the children in the Community, or going out shopping and neglecting his duties.

In situations where he didn’t need to take action, it seemed to have no impact whether Lin Que was there or not.

Unaccountably, Black Rabbit reached a resonance with Najenda, who was in another world.

“Speaking of which, are these few new companions brought back by Lin Que, like Kanroji?”

Adjusting her inner emotions, Black Rabbit looked at the three people behind Lin Que: “They don’t look like ordinary people in terms of temperament.”

“They were all assassins before.”

“Eh? Assassins?!”

Black Rabbit was shocked: “Really?”

“Of course it’s true.”

Lin Que replied: “Now ‘Unknown’ is in a development period, and the scale of the Community is constantly expanding.”

“To prevent communities like [ForesGaro] from causing trouble, I brought them back to be responsible for security.”

“Hmm, security, that’s true.”

Black Rabbit nodded in agreement.

She had heard about the matters of [Perseus] and [ForesGaro] after she returned.

Although she knew what Lin Que had done in this matter, it served as a reminder to her.

They were powerful and didn’t have to fear enemies.

But the children in the Community couldn’t.

They might each have high potential, but they still needed time to grow.

Before they grew up, they really needed to pay attention to security issues.

“By the way, Lin Que.”

Seeming to think of something, Black Rabbit suddenly spoke up.

“There’s one thing I forgot to tell you, Shiroyasha-sama asked me to pass on a message.”

“She said to go find her at ‘Thousand Eyes’ after you return.”

“Shiroyasha?” ===== CHAPTER 139 =====

Lin Que asked suspiciously: “What does she want with me?”

She wasn’t the type to hold a grudge either.

Since she said last time that the matter was temporarily put aside, she should have let it go.

“Shiroyasha-sama might want to discuss the matter of the [Outer Gate Dominator] with you.”

Unlike Lin Que, who had no clue, Black Rabbit had some guesses about this.

“Before you arrived, [ForesGaro] was actually the strongest in the 2105380 Outer Gate.”

“It’s just that because their reputation was poor and various bad rumors were often spread, Shiroyasha-sama did not appoint them as the [Outer Gate Dominator].”

“Now that [ForesGaro] has been defeated, as the winner who defeated them, our strength is naturally guaranteed.”

“Plus, Shiroyasha-sama has a good relationship with us, so she probably wants to appoint ‘Unknown’ as the [Outer Gate Dominator] to manage the security of the 2105380 Outer Gate.”

Lin Que realized: “That’s a good thing.”

Although becoming the [Outer Gate Dominator] requires maintaining security, the benefits gained are relative.

Like the boundary gates of the 2105380 Outer Gate, ‘Unknown’ could use them at will and get a share of the proceeds.

Even if the amount isn’t large, it’s a considerable income after it accumulates.

For ‘Unknown’, which is currently waiting to be rebuilt, this is a good thing.

“Then I’ll go see Shiroyasha at ‘Thousand Eyes’ first.”

After making the decision, Lin Que didn’t act immediately.

Thinking for a moment, his gaze looked at Kurome, who was standing behind him and staring at Black Rabbit’s ears.

“Kurome, you come with me too.” ===== CHAPTER 140 =====
