Cheater: Second Sky Adventure

18. Big Fish

Then came Diego Meiter approaching them. By walking casually intend to enjoy the time that is already dusk but see the members of Twin Tea Party and Leo his grandson.

"you're back! It's getting darker. You better go clean yourself up."

Leo turned to his grandfather and asked. "do you know? why are they acting so strange?"

Diego Meiter watches Jack, Sylf, Elena, and Brock in search of the strangeness that Leo is referring to.

Until he realized the change of their attitude. "oh.. It was because I taught them to adjust their attitude so that their master became more dignified. So they won't embarrass their master."

"ooo..." Leo nodded in agreement with their goal of behaving that way. But he was still unfamiliar with the change in attitude towards the Twin Tea Party members.

After being clear of the reason behind the change in attitude towards his men, Leo walked into the Meiter family residence to clean up after a day of training.

At dinner, because the Twin Tea Party members have become Leo's men or rather knights. They can no longer eat with Leo as their master. So they eat separately like never before.

But when Leo is eating, they have to keep outside the dining room.

"Jack! Why did you decide to become the knight of Lord Leo? It's not like your style." Elena was curious about Jack's current thinking.

"that's why I made this decision. But for sure, I felt that something big was about to happen. Although it's just intuition." Jack thought back to the reason that made him give up his freedom as an adventurer and become the knight of the man who would become a noble.

" then why are you also knights? Didn't you become adventurers to be able to go anywhere freely?

If Brock might I understand why he's coming too, because he's not young anymore either. But you are still young and your journey is still long. " Jack doesn't know why Elena and Sylf joined him to serve Leo. Because this is a personal decision from Jack without telling the other members.

" mmm... If I were, it might be because I've gotten too close to this party. To make me more comfortable staying together even if it's not as free as being adventurous." Elena's reason surprised Jack enough.

Previously Jack felt that the Twin Tea Party was formed and survived until now because of the abilities of each member. But now he understood that not only did they help each other in the fight. However, there was a strong sense of friendship between them.

"i have the same reason as Elena. Because for me an elf makes me the target of criminals. Although my fighting ability is quite strong, I doubt if I have to fight the enemy alone." Sylf will feel safe if he stays with people he trusts. Because indeed the elves often get different treatment.

" Ho.. Ho.. " Brock nodded in agreement with Sylf's reasoning.

Jack smiled at their excuses. "so we'll stay together until anytime."

After Leo's dinner is over, Leo goes to his grandfather's study. While it was Jack's turn and the others to rest.

In the workspace.

"so, what's your plan to take control of Kenji?" Diego Meiter wants to find out how far Leo is able to make a strategy in the mission this time. Although it looks like a 10-year-old child, Diego feels that his grandson has more mature thoughts than his age.

Leisurely sipping a cup of tea, Leo answered his grandfather's question about the plan he would use to rule the city of Kenji.

The underworld group is a collection of troops who have the ability to do secret work. They work for loyalty not position. Because of that their existence is very secret.

It flashed through Diego's mind about one group that matched what Leo needed. "there was one group that matched what you wanted. But they are very secret. According to some groups, they belong to the top 3 forces. Their ability is information gathering."

"this group is exactly what I need. Where can I meet them?" Leo had already decided to cooperate with this group.

"the location is not far from here. You just need to go to the northern suburbs of the city and find a weapon shop called 'Note Armor'. Then meet someone named Anthony Heji. He has features with blindfolds." Diego's explanation is enough to make Leo curious about the quality of the group.

Jack and the others had finished dinner and entered Diego Meiter's office.

Realizing Jack's arrival, Leo smiled and said "Jack! Tomorrow you come with me to catch a big fish! You better get some rest early tonight!"

"well!" Jack gets a job that makes him curious about what Leo means as a big fish. "just the two of us?"

"yeah! Others practice here to prepare for the plan I'm going to execute."

They also rest early to carry out Leo's plan.

The next morning, Leo prepared to go to the Notes Armor weapon shop. With Jack at the door of his room.

Leo had already asked permission to borrow two horses from Meiter's residence. They left quickly and passed by a huge horse carriage out of nowhere. But Leo ignored the horse carriage and continued on.

While in the middle of town, Leo had a chance to visit a clothing store. "excuse me!"

A woman with a male face approached Leo. "welcome to Sister's clothing store!"

Seeing the shopkeeper almost made Leo vomit. "njir..! Hunk."

"do you sell black robes and masks?"

The shopkeeper then tried to remember the type of clothing Leo wanted. "hmm.. Looks like there's. A moment! I'll look for him"

Meanwhile Jack asks Leo. "sir! Why did you buy a robe?"

"that is to give the impression of cool and make the fish we will visit to be vigilant. So I have to keep my identity a secret! Of course with you by my side, it would make them even more vigilant since you are an S rank adventurer."

Jack nodded but was still curious about the fish that Leo was referring to.

The shopkeeper returned with a black robe and a Japanese-style demon mask. "this is all that remains of the black robe outfit. "

Leo received the robe and put it on. Not forgetting the mask that made him like a demon lord. Even with the body posture of a 10-year-old child.
