chapter 41
041. you and me passphrase
“Rion, what do you plan to start with?”
“Of course we have to start with what we have in hand.”
Understanding what Leon said, the old woman smiled.
“Would you like to take a look?”
“yes. I would love to see and talk.”
Leone and Grandma moved to another building in the headquarters.
The Salon, the disguise of the headquarters, and the grandmother’s room on the upper floor. These two places were only included in the realm of the ‘main group’, but this did not mean the whole main group.
“Rion, we built a lot of departments to survive for a long time.”
As if telling a story to her grandson, the grandmother began to explain where she was going.
“As I was not active, many departments disappeared and were closed.”
As the old woman’s curse intensified, the power of the Blade of Dawn shrank and shrank.
“Still, there is a department that has been maintained until the end.”
A division that was maintained until the end despite the reduction in power.
“It’s ‘Hydra,’ the agent training department.”
Hydra. This was a place that Lyon knew as well as the old woman.
‘nice. It’s a name I miss.’
Before returning, Leon had been trained here.
Lyon asked her as if he had heard of it for the first time.
“Training agents?”
“You must have met Leone already. My children wearing masks. Those kids are the agents.”
“Is that child also undergoing agent training?”
“Right. Natalia The child is also receiving that education. Because the basic education is the same.”
To say that the basics are the same means that thereafter they are different.
“Have you considered another education?”
“Absolutely. Leon asked for special training, can I just sit still?”
Seeing her smile as if it were natural, a smile appeared on Leon’s face as well.
‘Looks like he’s thinking of doing it properly.’
Leone also received separate education from her before returning.
“If the body is low, the head must suffer!”
‘Grandma is the best for personalized education.’
Judging Rion’s physical talent as a no-brainer, she taught Rion other things.
she was the best teacher
“Did you ever discover her talent?”
“I didn’t seem to have any special talent. My brain wasn’t flying, and my physical abilities weren’t outstanding.”
She stared at Leon and opened her mouth again.
“If Leone hadn’t told me he was a kid who would endanger the world, I might have judged him to be untalented.”
This wasn’t because the old woman lacked insight. In fact, the saintess had no particular talent.
“But he has a unique talent. Do you understand why Leon was worried?”
“Did you find it?”
I didn’t know that I judged this as a talent and discovered it.
“The adaptability and immersion are abnormally excellent.”
If it was natural, it was natural.
She was said to have used drugs, but she was a person who became a saint.
‘Adaptability and immersion.’
This was her talent.
“It would have been nice if it had come this far, but this kid was too greedy. Moderate greed moves people… … .”
Leone took her word for it.
“You mean greed enough to destroy yourself?”
“Right. It could be said that it was the embodiment of greed.”
Also, Grandma was different.
She was wary of Natalia’s greed, but Leone looked down on her.
‘I thought I would be able to fully control it with my own strength.’
As Grandma said, Leon was drunk with power.
‘There are no mistakes anymore.’
Just as the mage lord Flint made a new person, Saint Natalia needs to make a new person.
“I would like to ask for character education. It would be ‘impossible’ to get rid of it.”
Rion provoked the grandmother by saying that it was impossible.
“Is it impossible? This is a request from Leone, but what is ‘impossible’ in the world?”
The old woman’s eyes shone eerily.
“Leon. Our Hydra’s education is not so soft. Besides, it is special education.”
Having said this, there could be no loopholes in education.
From now on, that was the main point.
existence of darkness. changed plans.
Everything had to mesh.
“Grandma. I want to raise Natalia to be a ‘spy’.”
“… … Leone. Was that your original plan?”
She burst into admiration when Leone smiled without answering.
“Perfect. Adaptability and immersion are essential talents for a spy.”
Spying was a job that suited Natalia’s talents.
“Besides, spies do emotional restraint training. If you combine your existing education with this training, you will be able to completely control your greed.”
I was able to offset the downside.
“I don’t know how far Leon has penetrated, but our ‘Hydra’ spy training is special.”
Of course I knew.
In the first place, the ‘Saint Making Project’ was created with Hydra’s spy education as a motif.
‘Although it was the beginning of all the problems when I replaced it with drugs because I was running out of time.’
In order to plant her in the Church of the Sun on time, she had no choice but to skip the training and shorten the time with a large amount of drugs.
‘Thanks to that, I got hit in the back of the head.’
It was beaten so well that it was dragged like a dog to the judge.
“Leon. Where are you going to plant Natalia?”
“How about the Church of the Sun?”
“That’s a good plan. I want to hear what you plan to do?”
She looked at Leon with curious eyes.
“First of all, can we talk after Natalia? There are things you need to do.”
“Is it necessary?”
First of all, Natalia had something to do.
“When spies meet, how do they confirm that they are allies?”
“Set a password. The moment you hear that ‘word’, you realize that you are an ally.”
“Is it possible to decide in advance?”
“Have you prepared anything?”
Since there is a password used before the regression, the preparation is already complete.
It’s because of something else.
“I want to leave an impact on her.”
A shocking encounter is imprinted for life. This was Leon’s specialty.
“I know what it is.”
The grandmother smiled brightly. This was a method she also used from time to time.
It was a kind of ‘fraud’ technique.
“I have to hide my identity to maximize the effect of this, so can I direct it?”
“Please, Grandma.”
“Please leave it to me.”
On the other hand, a fraudulent play has begun.

Agent training department Hydra’s training ground.
A girl was running on the training ground.
“Haha, haha.”
Her hair was wet with sweat, and her legs were wobbly.
Despite breathing heavily, this child never stopped walking.
‘Life… … I will change… … .’
I escaped from a house that was nothing more than a trash can.
I was freed from my family, who was like a burden.
‘I can’t live like that.’
I didn’t want to live without holding anything in my hands. A life without dreams and hopes was like despair.
‘I escaped.’
It was lucky.
she escaped hell
“Still, you have quite a bit of guts.”
A voice came from behind her. She stopped running and looked back.
‘… … target.’
A beautiful woman was looking at him.
‘I’ll take it all away.’
I will definitely go upstairs and take everything from that woman.
This goal was the driving force that made me endure all the training.
“Who said you could stop!”
“I’m sorry!”
But now, he was an unapproachable person. I couldn’t take anything from her right now.
“It happened. That is not important now.”
End of training earlier than expected.
I naturally focused on what was going on.
“Why on earth is he interested in this child?”
At those words, the girl’s ears perked up.
“Why is this child not me?”
her angry voice.
Her expression of jealousy.
For some reason, the feeling of being a winner made the girl’s heart swell.
Beyond satisfaction, I was filled with joy.
She lowered her head desperately to hide her expression.
“You are lucky.”
“Yes?”
“I will receive him. Get down on your knees and bow your head.”
she said reluctantly. That made the girl happy.
“You don’t say it twice.”
“Ah, I see.”
The girl hurriedly knelt down and bowed her head.
After a while, the unbelievable happened.
“My master. Ready!”
I couldn’t see it because I had my head down, but I could feel the situation around me.
His goal, which he had always lofty, was serving someone like a god.
‘Ahh… … .’
The girl realized her mistake.
I misunderstood what to take away.
Instead of taking away her power, I had to take away the ‘interest’ of the person called ‘him’.
Bubbly.
he came slowly
The girl’s heart was beating like it would explode.
“You have suffered.”
I felt his hand over my head.
Warmth spread throughout the body.
I felt like I was going to cry at the sacred and warm feeling.
“I have higher expectations for you than anyone else.”
“Ahh… … .”
The girl couldn’t even answer properly. I couldn’t get my head around the overflowing emotions.
“You may not see your face now, but we will meet in the near future.”
“Ki, I’ll wait.”
“Just don’t wait, do your best.”
“Ah, yes!”
It was as if she had become the center of the world.
The fulfillment of the longed-for greed was accompanied by great satisfaction.
“When that time comes, we need to recognize each other, so let’s decide on the language of the promise.”
“I will never forget you!”
language of promise. The woman who was his goal was the only thing he didn’t have.
It was sweet and deadly.
“Hail Hydra.”
“Yes?”
“It means for the sake of Hydra. Please speak quietly.”
“Hey, Hale Hydra.”
“If there is anyone who says that to you, it will be me.”
“I will remember. Hale Hydra.”
She acquired a language of promise that she would never forget.
‘Perfect!’
Leon raised his thumb at the old woman.
The granny smiled and made a circle with her thumb and forefinger.
The scam was ‘perfect’ itself.
* * *
After playing a scam against Natalia, Leon and Grandma had a long conversation.
Grandma’s advice was supplemented with the plan Leon had made, and a solid plan was completed.
Thanks to this, Rion was able to return to the church in peace.
‘All I have to do now is wait.’
If everything goes according to plan, it will move in unexpected places.
The wait was short.
A few days later, the long-awaited response came.
“Leon! Is there Leon!”
Priest Runda ran into the dormitory.
“Yes, priest.”
“What the hell are you doing in Killika!”
“As I reported, I came only to see patients receiving treatment. Has anyone ever gotten worse? Make sure it’s complete… … .”
Priest Runda interrupted Leon and intervened.
“It is not. A letter came from the United Vatican!”
A letter came from the United Vatican, but the reason Priest Runda came straight to Leone was simple.
“That goes along with the gold pouch!”
This one went too well even when things were going well.
“Can you tell me what’s going on?”
“I highly appreciate the gong of Kilika purification and service… … Oh, this is not important! There are other things that are really important.”
right.
There was something else that was really important.
