I! Cleaner!

"Senior Alger."

After gently touching the little flower in his pocket and confirming that Princess Philia's condition was normal, Leon expanded the effect of [Secret Tail] to include the strong man behind him, and then asked curiously :

"Did you always look like this?"

"no……"

After hearing Leon's inquiry, the tall and strong Alger shook his head and replied cautiously:

“I was only a little over 1.6 meters tall, and my figure was very thin. It was completely different from what I am now.

But later on, during a mission, my body was seriously damaged, so I had to apply for the 'Devil's Nine Lines', which almost replaced my entire body, and it became what it is now. "

"That's it..."

Regarding these things, Leon actually already knew something about [Skin Line] from the explanation. Now he just brought it up to find a conversation starter. Seeing Alger pick up the conversation, he smiled and continued:

"Senior Alger, you seem to be a little... afraid of me?"

"Forehead……"

"Don't worry, I'm really not a particularly crazy person. There's no need for you to be so defensive about me."

After shaking his head helplessly, Leon explained:

"The story about me eating the three-headed Inugami was actually not that outrageous. At that time, both Nicole and I were swallowed by it. We almost died in the Inugami's stomach, and most of our souls were digested by it.

Nicole's soul strength is much higher than mine, so it's no big deal. But with the strength of my soul at that time, even if I returned to this world safely, I wouldn't be able to control my body, and I would have to lie in bed for at least several years.

In addition, the part of my lost soul was in Inugami's body. My soul was looking forward to completing itself, so I had no choice but to eat it. I was helpless. "

"Oh, that's how it is……"

"The same goes for that time in the Dream World. There is a reason why I did that..."

Seeing that Alger still had a respectful attitude, in order to get closer to him, Leon thought for a while, then explained what happened to him at that time and the reason why he was angered by the Nightmare King, and then said with a sincere expression:

"Senior Alger, both you and Director Edward have some misunderstandings about me.

Things like killing the true god and destroying the dream world are all special circumstances. Normally, I am actually a pretty steady person and usually don't do extreme things. "

"..."

Indeed, he looks quite gentle and seems quite easy to get along with...

After listening to Leon's explanation, I found that he didn't seem as crazy as the rumors. Alger's tense expression finally relaxed a little.

But that strange feeling of being dominated at any time still lingered in his mind, so after hesitating for a while, he carefully asked his doubts.

It turns out that I noticed this.

Leon, who was walking towards the roadside, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

After noticing that [Skin Line] had the label "Fallen" and was within the control of "I am the Devil", before the two of them could let go, he switched out the Devil Badge.

After all, the situation of [Devil's Nine Lines] is quite special. In addition to being an abnormal object, it is also Alger's body. If [I Am the Devil] can control it, it still needs to be tested before it can be reassuring.

At that moment, although Leon did not issue an order, the "I am the devil" in the slot flashed, which proved that no matter whose body it was, as long as it belonged to an abnormal object with the "fallen" label, it would Will be affected by [I am the devil].

And it is estimated that the moment the badge flashed, it had a very short-term control effect on Alger's [skin line], and he was aware of it...

"Don't worry, this is also a misunderstanding."

After looking at Alger, whose expression was still wary, Leon, who had a favorable impression of the Scorpio Branch but not much, decided to lie in order to trick him into becoming his assistant:

"You also know that I was originally called a demonologist. I have several demonic anomalies in my hand, which are very similar to demonic anomalies. This may have caused you to misunderstand."

Is this also a misunderstanding...

There was a vague feeling that something was not right, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. Alger could only nod his head and temporarily agreed with this statement.

After the "misunderstanding" between the two was resolved, he seemed to become a lot more natural. Although he was still half a body subconsciously behind Lyon, he was finally willing to communicate normally.

"Lion, uh...sir..."

Originally he wanted to call Leon by his first name, but after subconsciously adding an honorific, the strong man walked on the street with the sun on his back. Leon was completely covered by his shadow. He unconsciously reached out and rubbed the corners of his clothes. Then he cautiously asked in a low voice:

"What are you going to do next?"

"It's very simple. Go back to the embassy area first, take out the two people left there, and then go find the Foreign Secretary."

After thinking for a moment, Leon smiled and explained:

"When I met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Korok before, I proposed to him to purchase long-distance communication technology, and the scholar who invented this technology should be someone from the Scientific Research Zone No. 1 of the Kingdom of Korok.

According to my estimation, the Foreign Secretary should have almost completed the technical statistics last night. Now we go over and tie him up, and get the similar technologies and inventor information he summarized, and it is possible to find the No. 1 scientific research area, and then Find the location of Atifi01. "

"???"

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Do you have the nerve to ask any questions?

Looking at Leon who turned back and looked at him with a puzzled expression, Alger's cheeks couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Didn’t you all quit the mission? Why are you still checking Atifi 01?

Also, didn’t you say before that you are usually very stable? Why would you kidnap a minister of a country just by opening your mouth? How can you be considered stable? Simply……

Hmm...why can he be so calm? Could it be that I made a little too much fuss?

After looking at each other with a surprised expression on Leon, and remembering the terrifying resume of this junior, Alger suddenly felt that kidnapping the Foreign Minister was not so difficult to accept.

Not to mention anything else, he has even kidnapped the princess of the Kingdom of Korok, and she is now carrying her in his pocket. So when he was on an investigative mission, kidnapping a minister along with him seemed like... nothing Big deal?

"nothing……"

After swallowing all the complaints, Alger, who inadvertently took a big step backwards, shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

"Mr. Lyon, if you really found Scientific Research Area No. 1 based on the scholar's whereabouts, do you mind if I inform Director Edward?"

"Of course I don't mind."

Leon smiled when he heard this and replied with a gentle expression:

"That's what I mean when I tell you this. I didn't tell Director Edward before. The main reason is that I'm not sure whether this method can work, so I just want to wait until it's confirmed before telling him. Well...it will be troublesome then. You informed him."

Ah this...

He never expected that Leon, known as the God of Eater and Demon, would be such a generous person. Not only did he not care about his director's behavior of ostracizing him, but he was even prepared to share the information he had worked so hard to find out. Alger's heart suddenly couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. The meaning of shame.

To be honest, compared to Mr. Lyon in front of me, the bad things my own director did are really a bit out of the spotlight. When the director was thinking about grabbing credit and squeezing out others, he was working hard to complete the investigation task and didn't follow him at all. My own director is careless.

This is really... Director, you are completely outclassed...
