Secret's! [War Of K-M-DGsp-M4221] Locked OSO.0
[B1-16] Herbs That, Definitely The Most Wanted and Trusted Drug! (1/3)

“Who?!” Ret never knew about healing without a cure or without a System. “They are Units or what?”

“Are the people who developed the drug―not with Energy or pure chemicals from the core Energy, or also not with the help of the artificial robot ‘they,” explained Sei, staring at the wooden ceiling on it, and also not with the help of the robot, “But the original medicine from our Earth, which from a long time ago was commonly called: Herbs ...”

Smiling confidently, Sei turned his head to Ret.

“.... Healer ‘kami’ which is often referred to as: Herbalish, Herbal Master, or Thabib,” said Sei, raise his eyebrows, “Yah. Whatever it is. For sure, they are great.”

“Herbalish, huh,” murmured Ret, touching her chin. “I just heard about them.”

“Yes. Of course!” exclaimed Sei confidently, and looked back at the ceiling of the Room, “We are quite great at keeping information secret.”

Ret nodded in agreement.

In fact, the Army-man was overwhelmed for hundreds of years by idiots like them, Ret thought.

“So,” asks Sei, “Last you bought information from whom, Rat?”

“Uh.” Ret exhaled her small breath, and then laughed dryly as she was reluctant to give her information to Sei, “Dia ..”

“Ng?” insist Sei, while turning his body back to Ret. “Who?”

Ret fell silent and shifted his gaze.

“.... I don't know. I don't know who he is either.”

“Ng ...?! You mean?”

“The beggar has a World Bank account: %$##112, and says that I can call him by the appellation: %$##. Uh..... No. gabe. If not wrong he said: $##%? Sss-s ... What, I forgot.”

Ret shook his head, giving up on remembering.

“Beggar ..?” muttered Sei, squinting his brows, “What is he?! You're lucky enough to get information from a beggar, Rat.”

“What is it? Isn't it usually the illegal bum who sells information?!” Hearing Sei say like that, Ret was confused and asked, “You know something about him, Sei?”

“No. Ng..... Maybe it was him, but ..”

“Huh?!”

“Yah. If I am not mistaken, the beggar, named: So ⁇ oR”

“S ...? What?!” Ret did not understand how to pronounce the name of the beggar who was his informant. “How do I pronounce his name?”

“Hahaha. You're a fool, Rat! Learn 'Universal Language' first before reading that idiot book.”

“That's hard, you know? The name sounds like: $##%, and if I say it becomes: SuRRe ... What's?! Huh, but not that, yeah.”

Laughing blankly after hearing Ret, Sei stared at the thick book on the table beside the man.

Sei said, “The stupid old man was named: So ⁇ oR. Remember name. Might as well. It's just a small possibility, anyway. But, he might be my partner.”

Ret surprised, “Rekan ...?!”

“Ng.” Sei nodded lightly. “Call him Old Man So ⁇ or. I'm sure he'll laugh.”

The two of them continued to talk about something other than the important thing to talk about. Herbalish and the injuries on Sei's body seemed to be forgotten by the warm conversation they both had.

Laughing empty together, getting serious together, and a moment of silence then returning to the conversation on unique topics, forgetting the time to rest and their problems, Ret and Sei continued to talk warmly.

The two of them became very familiar as if they had become old acquaintances.

After the two of them ran out of topics to talk about, silence and silence were somehow for the third time around the two of them. Not that one of them was asleep or exhausted, Ret and Sei just fell silent, staring at each other and smiling at each other.

“What,” says Sei, break the silence of the atmosphere around the two of them, “no problem? You're familiar with ‘villains’ like me, Rat?”

As if forgetting that Sei had been in the middle of a pile of corpses before, Ret regained consciousness.

“Yah...” Ret exhaled heavily. “If I think about it again, I am indeed strange, anyway, can be familiar with ‘criminals’ like you―Hahaha―I mean, if my dream is to become a Member of the Justice-man Unit, I should be ..”

Reported you from the beginning, huh, Ret thought. He shook his head while sighing.

Ret raised his eyebrows, then said, "You know, right, I mean, Sei?"

“Rat, are you really not going to report me to Unit Justice-man?” asked Sei, looking at Ret. “You won't be able to enter Security School, Rat. If you can always be familiar with ‘criminals’ like me.”

The atmosphere became very serious which made Ret very nervous.

“H-huh?!” Ret widens her eyes, surprised, “A-what are you going―”

“Uh.” Ret waved his hand to the side indifferently. “Do not align our degrees like that. Your words sound scary, Sei.”

“Hahaha..... Your dream is too big for you, Rat ... And that Justice-man Unit, isn't as holy as what you commoners think.”

This woman was talking about herself, huh, Ret thought. He looked at Sei, while raising the corner of his lips.

“I know. I obviously know that, Sei, take it easy ... It is called ‘mimpi’ .. because it takes hard work to achieve it, right?”

Ret smiled widely, looking at Sei below him with a warm look.

“Ng.” Sei nodded lightly as he turned around, turning back to him. “You're right.”

Ret went back to the page of the book next to her, and started reading it again.

“Rat, where will you sleep?”

“Not to think of such a stupid thing ... Sleep only.”

Silence returned with only the sound of the page of the book behind Ret.

Sei said, “What do you want―”

“Huh?” Ret looked at Sei's back.

“No. It's nothing.” Sei tried to rest. “I'll break.”

“Iya.” Ret turned his gaze back to the book. “Goodnight ...”

.... Even though it's early morning, huh, Ret thought. He continued to read the thick book on the table.

They both fell asleep, and rested to relieve the fatigue of the day they had been through.

Ret fell asleep while hugging the thick book as a wedge of his cheek. And Sei suddenly woke up and sat up on the wall facing Ret who was sitting sound asleep.

Why did this man save someone he didn't know just like that, Sei thought. He is suspicious of Ret. “And me too... Why is it that familiar with her?! This feels ...”

It's nice―No, no, no, Sei thought. He shook his head and refuted his own thoughts.

Sei shook his head again.

“Not like that ...” Sei denied himself. “I'm just worried she's part of ‘they’. But ...”

If this guy is part of ‘they’, maybe it's time I got attacked. I think ‘they’ knows that now is the right time to eliminate me, Sei thought. He became very alert.

While paying attention to the surroundings, Sei clasped tightly onto the bright blue glowing stone.

“Come. If you're really part―or lackey ‘they’, attack me, Rat,” whispered Sei, with his almost inaudible voice. “Jadi ...”

I can eliminate you here by, Sei thought, being cut off. He felt very exhausted and fell asleep sitting facing Ret.

Sei who was about to attack Ret, without her realizing it suddenly fell asleep due to fatigue and was too alert.

The two of them finally fell asleep.

Ret and Sei are in each other's dreams. However, in the blink of an eye, the two of them were awakened by the sound of knocking on the door from the front of the room.

“Uh?”

Ret gasped and Sei tried to hide the bright blue glowing stone in her black clothes again.

“Ngh?!” Sei slowly sat up straight like Ret, and tried to hide the glowing stone in his grasp. Damnit. I was really off guard, to the point of being able to fall asleep like that.

Ret turned his head towards the door and was completely unaware of Sei's strange gurgle.

“That's just a waiter delivering daily newspapers, huh.”

“Oh.”

“Huh?! You awake? Just go to sleep again. I'll take the newspaper.”

Sei nodded lightly.

“Ng. Okay.”

The woman lay facing the wall to cover and hide the bright light from the blue stone held by her hand.
