033 – Who is Naru’s mother #5

Hwareuk-.

Brigitte raised an orb of light on her finger.

It was a magical candle.

“Can’t you see any signs of an intruder?”

Brigitte checked the locks on the lab’s windows and doors again.

“The barrier is also working properly.”

It seems that there is no problem.

However, I still hadn’t forgotten the look of caution.

First, turn off all lights in the room.

It’s the basics of pre-work that thieves prepare before going to work.

If there was a book like “The Thief’s Standard,” it would probably have been on page 1.

Woo woo woo woo-.

Then I heard the sound of something like an engine, and the lights came back on in the lab.

Brigitte spoke as she blew out the flames of magic that had been burning on her fingers.

“look. It was also just a blackout. They said it happens once or twice a year. Perhaps a professor used more mana than necessary and tripped the circuit breaker.”

Is it real?

If what Brigitte said was true, I might have been suspicious.

There must be one or two doubts in this world.

“It seems I’m oversensitive.”

smart-.

Then someone knocked on the lab door.

smart-.

Again someone knocked on the door.

Soon, a strange male voice was heard from beyond the door.

-Professor Brigitte, are you there? My name is Provence, the manager in charge of the security and security of Research Building A. I have a few things to check, could you please open the door for me?

Security and responsible manager.

Brigitte nodded, wondering if she knew anything about this voice.

“You are the manager. He is a Provence who is raising three daughters and four sons.”

Why did you give birth to so many children?

However, my doubts still persisted.

“Brigitte, don’t open the door yet.”

It was common for thieves trying to infiltrate to imitate the voice of others.

I’ve seen a few thieves perfectly copy other people’s voices.

Seongdaemosa did a really good job.

“Maybe it’s a thief impersonating a manager named Provence.”

I was almost half convinced.

Of course, seeing me like that, Brigitte shook her head.

“Yuda, I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but you really have a lot of doubts.”

“But my doubts have saved my life many times. Did you forget the spider that imitated our voices in the spider den? If I hadn’t suspected it, then we were all gummy food.”

I recalled things from the past.

I once fell into a trap and fell into a deep cave.

There was a time when I was confused by the spider webs here and there and the voices of my colleagues coming from all directions.

– Judas, I am Brigitte! come my way!

-What are you talking about? I’m Brigitte! It looks like our enemies are trying to trick us!

It was very confusing.

At that time, I doubted everything and survived by using my wits.

-To prove that you are a real Brigitte, tell me what color underwear you are wearing today! By the way, I know the answer!

-What color are you wearing today? White!

– You crazy man! Why do you know the color of my underwear!

-The real thing was behind you. Actually, I don’t know about color.

It’s already a year ago.

Anyway, because of these experiences, I couldn’t easily change my habit of being suspicious of others.

It’s a bit tiring, but it’s better than getting sick.

Did you think my opinion was reasonable?

Brigitte sighed and said to the other side of the door.

“Mister Provence. What kind of cake was the cake you brought me the other day? You gave me leftovers from your daughter’s birthday party.”

-You mean the cake?

It was a short question.

Perhaps, like the question I spit out in the air to distinguish Brigitte in the past, wouldn’t it be a question and answer that only you and the person concerned can confirm?

-What I gave you at that time was probably donuts, not cake.

“Yes.”

Brigitte put on a somewhat relieved expression.

And finally opened the door to the lab.

Gi profit-.

door open.

Soon, I saw a fat man standing in front of the door holding a lantern.

“It is said that there is a place where the magic circuit is broken due to the power outage that just happened. Is it okay if I go in to check and check once?”

“Come on in.”

Brigitte let the caretaker inside.

He was a good-looking manager.

Soon, he carefully checked the magic circuits installed in every corner.

But I still couldn’t get rid of my suspicious eyes looking at him.

Very suspicious -.

Was it around the time you thought about it?

smart-.

Someone knocked on the door again.

-Professor Brigitte, my name is Provence, the caretaker. I just went out for an inspection due to a power outage. Could you please open the door for a moment?

It was very surprising.

That’s because the same voice as the caretaker’s was coming from the other side of the door.

“Do Provence have twins?”

“No, not as far as I know.”

Only then did Brigitte put on a rather nervous expression.

and then asked me

“The man who just came into my house, where have you disappeared?”

“I got hit.”

Rumbling, rattling-.

When I woke up, the window was open.

It was a very ominous and eerie goosebumps sight as the whee-oh-wind blew.

Did you run away there?

* * *

“Brigitte, check your valuables first. I’ll check the room where Naru is.”

I first opened the door to Naru’s room.

Fortunately, Naru was sound asleep on the bed.

“Muhh… . Buy Elizabeth’s bread… . Pizza Bread… .”

You’re fine.

Wasn’t it the thief who was aiming for Naru?

If that’s the case, there’s a high probability that it’s the guy who’s aiming for money.

“Brigitte, what about the money? Is anything missing?”

I came out of the room and asked Brigitte.

Brigitte, who had been rummaging through the closet until just now, shook her head.

“Is there anything missing?”

“yes?”

What.

can this be possible

Whatever it was, he was a thief with great skills.

I don’t know if I can describe him as a thief because nothing was stolen and nothing was missing.

It’s to the point where I wonder if it’s like an examiner sent to me by the “Council of Shadows”.

“Have you hallucinated as a group? Do you remember how Valdes, the wizard of devastation, cast hallucination magic on us as a group?”

“I don’t remember. but i ruined it This black magician, Brigitte-sama.”

Brigitte crossed her arms feeling confident.

One of the three great demons of Pandaemonium, Valdes, the wizard of devastation, was a formidable enemy in many ways.

He used all sorts of magic to get us into trouble.

It is a famous story that Brigitte destroyed the illusion magic he used.

yes.

It’s a famous story.

“Actually, Brigitte was not you, but the warrior handled it. by singing a strange song But the warrior wanted to hide the fact that he sang. Brigitte disguised as your credit.”

“… … .”

“You are not Brigitte. It seems like they did research on us in their own way, but there are differences in the details.”

sereung-.

I blocked the doorway where Naru was asleep and pulled a dagger from my sleeve.

Brigitte giggled when she was on high alert.

The corners of the mouth are torn all the way to the ears.

It was a very creepy face.

It was also an expression that Brigitte would never do.

“Why are you doing this, I’m Brigitte—even if I said that, it would be too late. But Judas, since you’ve already allowed me to invade, you have no chance. It looks like your skills are rusty from getting tired of the era of peace?”

yes.

It was as the guy said.

I never thought they’d allow intrusion into the lab.

when did it change?

Is it when I went to check Naru’s room?

Was Brigitte swapped with the ‘fake’ here?

What I had to check here was Brigitte’s safety.

“What did you do with Brigitte?”

“Do not worry about it. because I’m not dead I just kept it quiet for a while so the wizard wouldn’t go berserk. I don’t want the magician in the demon castle party to run amok.”

Runaway.

Did you already know that Brigitte, which possesses devastating black magic, explodes in times of crisis and unleashes tremendous power?

“But it could be fatal if it is not deciphered within one minute. I used red scorpion venom. The antidote is with me. Tell me what you want and I’ll give you the antidote.”

Shuk-.

Fake Brigitte held out her hand, and a scorpion came out of her sleeve and landed on her palm.

red scorpion.

It’s a guy I’ve heard of too.

Once stung, even an elephant faints within minutes.

“What do you want?”

I asked.

It didn’t look like a thief aiming for money, so he must have what he wanted.

In response to my question, the fake Brigitte calmly said,

“truth.”

“truth?”

“I heard, Judas, that you have a daughter. The kid on the other side of the door. But as far as I know you were never married. What happened?”

“… … .”

“If you don’t tell me the truth, I won’t give you an antidote. Even at this moment, time is passing. Don’t roll your head and answer the truth. All I want now is the truth.”

“Yes, as you said. I have a daughter. But I am not married.”

I told you the truth.

Of course, I didn’t tell everything, but I revealed about 10% of the truth.

But the fake Brigitte frowned terribly and shouted.

“lie. lie! Do not lie! I met your wife!”

“What?”

meet my wife

What does this mean?

Rather, I started to get interested.

“You met my wife? Where are you? when?”

“Why are you so surprised at the word wife? Do you think that acting like an ignorant bachelor until now is stabbing you? To seduce an innocent girl and use it to her liking, then throw it away. That’s what you are!”

who is that

It was clear that I was misunderstanding something by seducing an innocent girl and taking advantage of it.

“There seems to be some misunderstanding—”

“I don’t want to hear it! You trash bastard!”

It seemed like he had a grudge against me.

However, since she was swearing at me with her Brigitte face, something… something feels strange

Rumbling, rattling-.

Just then, the closet was shaken greatly.

Paaang-!

Soon, with a strong explosion, Brigitte, wearing only white underwear, came out of the closet.

Brigitte has two.

Of course, the impostor exclaimed in great surprise.

“It moves even after getting poisoned by a red scorpion? You didn’t even decipher it? You mean it doesn’t matter if your body is broken? What kind of wizard is that?”

“Fake guy, he does a good job of imitating me, but he doesn’t seem to know who I am. If something like poison could have happened, life would have been easier.”

Seeing how tough it is, the one wearing only underwear is probably the real one.

His eyes were bloodshot and his mouth was bleeding, but he seemed to have suffered severe internal injuries as he tried to resist the poison.

Of course, as if he didn’t care about that, he opened his lips and chanted a spell.

“Destruction. death. Despair and fear.”

Negative words are listed.

Anticipating what would happen, I had no choice but to stop Brigitte.

“If you use your magic here, the whole area might be blown away. Your attacks are so powerful that it’s a problem. I do.”

I picked up my dagger and accelerated toward the fake Brigitte.

Then he followed me at my speed and clicked his tongue saying “tsk-”.

sereung-.

Soon the guy also pulled a knife out of his sleeve.

I thought it was a dagger, but it was a shuriken in the form of a dagger.

months-.

Fake Brigitte threw a shuriken.

It seemed that the target was not me, but the lamp in the ceiling.

Clink-.

The fire was broken and many things went dark.

I asked Brigitte in the dark.

“Hey! Are you okay!? Red scorpion venom is quite poisonous! Why did you force it!”

“Come on, chase the fake bastard! They stole my clothes! A clothes thief!”

But the thief had already escaped through an open window.

Wearing the clothes she took off from Brigitte.

Brigitte gritted her teeth as if she was more upset at the fact that her clothes were taken than the poison wound.

“Even if you were careless, to suffer such an insult. can’t forgive And Judas, you should have chased the thief instead of worrying about me!”

That was right.

Normally, I would have acted like that.

But for some reason, I was more worried about Brigitte than chasing the thief.

I thought Naru would be sad if Brigitte got hurt.

pat-.

Brigitte coughed up black blood.

“Ugh!”

He moaned like someone suffering from a hangover, but he looked pretty sick.

However, once he vomited blood, his complexion became refreshed as if it had never happened.

The bloodshot eyes also returned to normal.

As I was watching it, Brigitte frowned.

“Why, what are you looking at?”

“Your underwear.”

“Look, taste… !”

“no. Rather than that, this shuriken that fell to the floor is a brain-destroying shuriken. It’s a shuriken thrown like lightning. that’s expensive One million arcs will do.”

There are usually two types of thieves.

Dagger Rogue.

And it was a commendation rogue.

I am a dagger rogue.

I mainly use daggers.

Any type of dagger was used well.

If I were to pick one of my favorites, it would be that I like a cutlery that I can hide in my sleeve?

That’s it.

However, commendation thieves were a bit tricky.

They were quite sensitive to the type of commendation.

The cerebral shuriken thrown by the fake Brigitte is a wannabe item for commendation thieves.

It was a valuable item that could not be used by anyone.

Would you like it if I gave it to you?

Naru seems to be a dagger thief, but since she is still young, the possibilities for changing her job are endless.

With that thought in mind, I put the shuriken in my pocket and said.

“I think I know who the culprit is. Even if you were careless in the first place, there are less than five thieves in the world to say that Brigitte is enough to incapacitate you for a moment.”

Although he has excellent skills in hiding his identity.

Rather, it is an ironic situation in which the excellent skills clearly reveal their true identity.

“Brigitte, I’ll get your clothes.”

pat-.

I ran out the window toward the open darkness.
