"Hello Gin! We're back!"
A female voice so excited and enthusiastic accompanied the open door. At the door, the Emir, Inanna, and the others are back.
The sudden influx of the Emir and the others made Shinar and Ufia flinch.
"A fast. Nothing yet," I paused for a moment, looking at the clock at the end of the room. "Hour three. What the hell are you guys doing?"
"Gin!" Jeanne came to my desk quickly. "You didn't say they already knew all the locations and conditions of the places we went. In fact, there are some aspects that they understand more than us. At the end of it, we only showed those locations to the Emir."
I fell silent and looked at the people by the door, who were now walking and sitting on the sofa. They just throw me a smile.
Yes, Inanna is an agent of gugalanna. On the other hand, the people from Agade have worked with me before. I've always instilled in them that information is very important ammunition. Although they are not as knowledgeable as Ibla in gathering information anyway.
On the other hand, it has not even been two years since the Emir became a schneider agent. So, it is only natural that the Emir does not know much.
"You didn't ask. And again, I told you that my colleagues have been working on the black market for a long time. So, it's natural that they–"
"NO! YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME THAT THEY WORK ON THE BLACK MARKET!" Jeanne interrupted.
"...okay, that was a mistake on my part. Haha." I'm laughing a little. "But, Jeanne, even though they knew, they never confirmed the location and contents, right? So, your visit makes them sure that the information they have is true. Aye, right?"
I threw a glance at Mulisu and the others.
Mulisu started, "Yes, Lugalgin's right, Jeanne. You helped you to confirm the info we have."
"Written right," Ur added. "Even though we know that the information is 80 percent correct, it would be much better if the truth rate was 100 percent."
"Yes, right." Mari, Simurrum, and Uru'a nodded.
"But...."
"It's Jeanne, '" Inanna put a hand on Jeanne's shoulder. "You really helped us. Especially the Emir because he doesn't know the left right at all. Isn't that right, Emir?"
"Yes, right." The emir answered quickly.
"But...."
"Already, already...."
Inanna pulled Jeanne and sat her on the couch.
All right, back to the problem.
"So, Shinar, you still want to hear the reason? It's just my guess, yeah."
"Yes, I still want to hear it. I still wonder why the children of the Cleinhad family were left alive."
I returned the direction of the conversation to Shinar. When I heard me talking to Shinar, somehow, the others calmed down.
"Maybe" I started the answer. "That's the killer's way of seeking forgiveness."
"Possibly, he killed out of revenge, right? Maybe it was because the Cleinhad family did bad things to the people he loved. So, perhaps, he felt entitled to revenge. And, perhaps, therefore, he thought of giving the right of revenge to people like you, people left alive."
"Eh?"
Without me noticing, I repeatedly said the word "maybe". This time, I said all the "maybe" it was not because I wanted to cover up the truth of Jeanne, Ufia, and Shu En, but because I was in doubt myself.
Did I really give you the right to take revenge on them? If that's true, does that mean I expect one of them to end my life? Am I really looking for forgiveness?
I don't know. When I remember the Cleinhad family and the children I let live, all those questions arise. In the end, all of that was just an excuse I made to justify my ignorance of why I only killed people over 16.
"Lugalgin, are you serious?"
Unexpectedly, the first person to worry about me was Mulisu. No. gabe. Not the first to worry about me, but the first to ask my thoughts, and maybe my condition. Everyone's worried about me. They showed a sour face, especially Emir and Inanna.
"Eitherway. As you can hear, it's all just a possibility. Just theory. In fact, the theory is without basis."
Beyond my expectations, Shinar went downstairs after hearing my answer. At that moment, I could see her lips moving, muttering, but not making a sound. Even though she did not make a sound, I could read her lips movements.
"I'm sorry for us."
Those are the words I read from Shinar's lips. And, right now, I'm a little sorry for reading Shinar's lip movements. If you apologize, it will make me feel guilty. I wish you were a proud and arrogant woman like your two brothers. If you were like them, guilt would never come to my mind.
Tok
Even though the door was open, a man came knocking. His name is Mario, agent schneider.
"Sorry, Mr. Lugalgin, this is your request."
