I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

Sorry everyone, I just spaced out. Where were we in our story? Oh right, Mann killed…

Wait? Am I seeing things? Shouldn't the story be entering its first interesting plot point soon?

Hmm…

It seems that as the storyteller, I'm still not skilled enough. A brief distraction was enough for the story to deviate from the path I had planned. But that's inevitable; characters in excellent works have lives of their own.

We can't forcefully control it, unless you want to destroy your character.

Destroying a character is easy, but that's not our purpose in creating. We want these characters to have some unique experiences in the story, such as making them realize the mistakes they've made.

To make him realize how disgusting it is when others mess with his things.

And nothing is better than firsthand experience to make someone understand a principle.

Fortunately, our story has only just begun. We have enough time to teach the character this principle.

…………

As the bright moonlight fell, a silver-haired girl bathed in its radiance appeared before them. Her expression was much calmer than the struggling dragon girl, and the girl also calmed down a lot when she appeared.

"Sorry, my sister, You Yue, is a little shy around strangers," she said naturally. "We've been chased for a while, so we can't help but be a little too sensitive."

Seeing this calm and collected girl, Mann felt that things might go more smoothly next:

"I understand. Anyone would be nervous if they suddenly encountered strangers intruding on their territory, especially when you're being hunted."

The silver-haired girl introduced herself:

"I'm Serri, You Yue's half-sister. I can tell you're strong. If you wanted to kill You Yue, it probably wouldn't take much, but if we wanted to run, we'd have a chance.

"You may not know, but I'm the Moon God's proxy. Wherever the moonlight shines, I can borrow her great power. Although I may not be able to defeat you, it shouldn't be difficult to survive."

As she spoke, the moonlight swayed like willow branches in the wind, demonstrating its power.

Hearing this, Yan showed a thoughtful expression.

It seems that this power is the reason they can hide themselves, and if it is that power, it is indeed very suitable for escaping.

"What she said is probably true," the boy whispered as a reminder.

The helmeted woman took over the conversation:

"We absolutely have no intention of hurting you. If you don't agree, we'll just turn around and leave. You see, we haven't really taken the initiative to attack until now.

"These few moves were just self-defense."

Although this sentence was not entirely correct, they had indeed not harmed You Yue.

Serri nodded slightly:

"Well, if what you just said is true, we are willing to help you find the dragon, but I also want to offer a small condition in exchange, which is also to make us trust you."

Mann nodded:

"What's the request?"

Serri smiled:

"There's a saying that a common enemy forges the strongest alliance. Kill the ogre members who want to capture us, and we will help you find the dragon, and this can also solve future troubles."

Hearing this, Mann frowned. Although he had strong magic, he had never killed any intelligent life until today. Suddenly hearing that he had to kill someone…

He didn't seem to feel anything?

"Okay," but the helmeted woman agreed without any burden. "Since they dared to come, they should have been psychologically prepared to be killed, but I also hope you can keep your promise."

Serri nodded:

"Of course, offending two powerful enemies at the same time is not wise. As long as you kill them, we will have a reason to join forces, and you are right.

"We do have the means to track the dragon."

The three of them realized that there was no need to waste words, and they had reached a consensus.

But Yan blinked, then looked at You Yue, who was equally bewildered.

The dragon girl didn't understand what was happening at all. She was still dealing with these uninvited guests who had suddenly broken in, but at this moment, Serri had formed an alliance with them.

But she didn't waste time and brainpower thinking deeply, and directly accepted this fact.

You Yue had some kind of unconditional trust in Serri, who was her "sister."

But Yan's feeling was completely different from hers. Although he had some of his own little thoughts at the beginning, he never thought that he would suddenly be involved in such a thing at this moment.

You should know that the Ogre Experts are also a well-known mercenary group in the Rama Kingdom. There are several strong individuals like Deere in the ogre group, and they also have a large number of mid-level members who are enough to trample cities.

Even if the two of them could really kill Deere, they would offend the entire ogre group.

Even if they could really find the dragon, they would face the ogres' revenge after killing the dragon, and what's more, they might not be able to truly complete the task and get a reward.

Now they have to pay such a painful price?

Not to mention, You Yue is not the only dragon tracker in the world.

Is it really worth it just for her?

Questions like these repeatedly surfaced in Yan's mind…

Is this "reasonable"?

Doubts about the development of the situation kept jumping in the boy's mind, like a frantically shaking alarm bell reminding him that there was something wrong with the scene before him.

These changes were too fast and too absurd. Just a few days ago, they were helping people with their work, and now, after only saying a few words to the target, they were going to help them kill their former employer.

It was inexplicably like a dream.

Without knowing when, the pattering raindrops had already fallen, wetting the boy's cheeks and pulling his attention back from the various scattered fantasies to the clear reality. The cold touch of the rain kept reminding him that this was not some so-called dream, but an incomparably clear reality.

Yes, things had already reached this point.

He also had no right to choose. It seemed that Mann and the helmeted woman didn't intend to ask for his opinion. Although they might not have thought of letting him participate in it, he couldn't escape now.

Even if he turned around and left now, pretending that nothing had happened, it would be useless. With the character of the Ogre Experts, they wouldn't consider so many unnecessary things.

Now that he was standing on the opposite side of them, he would definitely be on their hit list, and if he was really caught by them, he would definitely be eaten alive.

It seemed that he only had one path to take.

Is this "reasonable"?

Such a question suddenly surfaced in his mind for the first time.
