The Truth Of The Mysteries
Decisions
Laville stared at the dark path illuminated by the light of the lights, she then breathed in the fresh air at night.
The air at night is cool and refreshing. After that, Laville turned to her apartment and walked down the dark hallways and stairs. Red light came in through the windows and some vents were open. After a while, he then arrived at the door of his room.
He then reached into his pocket and took the key of the room. He then opened the door slowly almost without a sound.
But after that Laville was surprised, as she opened the door she saw the figure of a woman with long black hair, a beautiful face, and light brown eyes. It was none other than her sister, Violet Maurly.
After a few seconds of no reaction, Violet then asked her brother curiously, "Laville, where are you from? I woke up to go to the bathroom when I realized you weren't in your room."
Violet asked with a flat face but looked curious.
Faced with a sudden question, Laville was instantly able to find a reason. He then answered his sister's question, "I woke up before I went to sleep and I couldn't sleep anymore, so I decided to go out and run a few laps to relax my body."
After hearing the answer from her brother, feeling suspicious, Violet then looked at her brother's wet back, she then replied, "Really."
Then he thought for a moment, he then added, "Laville, you don't have to force yourself for the interview tomorrow. I'm sure you'll make it." Violet.
"... Well I won't push myself." Laville replied briefly with a smile.
I haven't even thought about the interview at all.
Violet then went back to saying, "You don't have to worry. Even if you fail the interview, uh-I mean maybe you can pick something else that might be better, after all you can definitely pass."
Laville replied, "Yes, I think it'll be fine."
After that, Violet who was still looking at her brother thought back to her room and picked up a turtle.
Violet then showed it to Lavill. Violet pressed the spring torque of the thing and after that it went off.
The clan! Clack! Clack!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The tortoise then moved slightly forward slowly. Afterwards Violet said, "When I feel frustrated, I like looking at this turtle, it makes me feel calm."
Looking at his sister who seemed to be comforting him, Laville smiled and said, "Rules and simplicity can indeed calm the heart, it's good."
Violet looked ordinary, she then gave the tortoise to her brother, "Laville, try.” He gave it to Laville.
At that time Laville felt bad for her sister, as a boy who was not good at machining, she had difficulty making even simple machines.
A child who is not even good at machines even though it takes quite a lot of time to make an engine, it will even be a little difficult to repair a small car.
After looking at the tortoise for a while, Laville thanked Violet, “Thank you, I've calmed down a bit now.” Then Violet replied, “Alright then.”
After that Laville added, “This is a turtle right?” Violet was silent for a moment before replying, “That's a doll!”
The doll?
“By the way, when did you make this, I never did you make it?” Laville. Violet answered her brother's question with the same expression, she said, “I used unwanted materials at university and objects that were on the way. I just finished making it two days ago.”
Then Laville replied to her sister's statement, “Is that so?!” The atmosphere became somewhat awkward, Laville then asked her sister, “Why do you wake up this time at night, don't you usually never wake up at night? Oh, earlier you were also from the bathroom what did you do?”
The atmosphere went back to silence, Violet looked a bit confused then after a while she said, “Alright, I'll go back to sleep.” Violet then took back the turtle and closed the door to her room.
Bam!
Why does he wake up at night? Could it be that the food last night was too good and made it hard to digest? Well it's possible. Laville then thought of an offer from Dunn Stein. He headed to his desk and sat down while thinking about his benefits and needs.
Right now I have to find out more about mysticism so that I can return to earth. In that case, one of the safest would certainly be to join the Mystery Hand, yet I would be bound by the church.
I might be able to join the Alchemist Alchemist but I also don't know where it is.
I currently have a so-called Gathering in the mysterious world, unfortunately I can't get any more information from that man. It was even impossible to ask the man to say more because there would not be enough time. I don't even have anything that interests them.
…
At that time Dunn said that being beyonders would risk losing control, I still don't understand about it. So if I join the civil service there, I might be able to gain a lot of useful knowledge.
Although I would be very attached by the church, maybe it was no big deal. Although the original owner of this body was a follower of the Mystery God, I did not believe in gods, so I could only pretend for a long time.
There, in addition to gaining knowledge of mysticism I will also earn a salary sufficient to improve the family life of the original owner of this body. Besides, I can't keep asking trivial things in the gathering. Not only would it damage the grand and mysterious image of The Fake, not only that, it would also arouse their suspicions.
And if I rise to the heights of the Mystery Hand and I become the head of a secret organization, then I become a heretic. Funny imagining.
Plus, an organization like Mystery Hand was an official organization that was related to the government, so in addition to the above, I also got protection from them as well.
Joining the Mystery Hand does have great dangers such as losing control that usually occurs in people who are greedy for power and also people who are already there at an advanced age.
…
But it's still okay for me, I guess. Well I've decided!
At that moment, the golden light of the sun shone down and the red moon sank and changed into a cold, bright morning.
Laville replied, “I'm thinking about something.” With a casual expression, Violet then said, “Usually I always write down the pros and cons on the paper then compare them to get the solution.”
Laville then replied with a smile, “I also often do that.”
Violet then took out a yellowish sheet of paper and toiletries and went to the bathroom.
After finishing cleaning up, Laville and Violet made breakfast. After breakfast, Violet goes to school.
After finishing breakfast, Laville did not immediately go to see Dunn. No bar is open in the morning. So he planned to leave during the day, Laville also took advantage of this time to sleep.
…
Laville woke up at eleven o'clock in the afternoon, she was then getting ready to go see Dunn Stein, she was wearing the clothes that she also used for the interview.
After making sure everything was safe and tidy, Laville went straight out of her apartment but she stopped by the side of the road.
He was waiting for a chartered carriage, in Leon's kingdom there were two types of chartered chariots. The first is a public carriage where the carriage has two or four wheels and is pulled by horse, this type of carriage runs on ordinary roads and not on rails. While the other one, the carriage was running on the rail track.
Laville waited by the side of the road and stopped a public train.
“Ke Ceral Street.” Laville said to the driver of the train. After that the driver of the train also replied, “To Ceral Street you will be transferred to Cargen Street."
He did not want to further throw away the working hours of the Mystery Hand, so he immediately accepted it.
"Okay, to Cargen Street." Laville said the driver replied, "That's more than four kilos, four cents." Said the hardworking train driver and an honest person, a young man with a fair and clean face extending his hand.
It was a worker responsible for the collection of money.
“Good.” Laville took out four copper coins from her pocket and handed them to the other party.
He walked into the carriage and found that there were not many passengers. Even on the first floor, there were some empty seats. "I only have three pence for me now, so I can only walk when I get back..." Laville pressed down on her hat and sat down firmly.
On this floor, most of the men and women were well dressed even though there were some clothes in their work clothes, while reading the newspaper leisurely. Hardly anyone spoke, and it was quiet enough. Laville closed her eyes and replenished her strength, unaware of the arrival and leaving of the passengers around her.
Station after station passed until he finally heard a few words "Champagne Street." After getting off the horse-drawn carriage, he asked along the way and soon reached Besik Street, where he saw a pub with a brownish-yellow dog logo.
Laville stretched out her right hand and gave a strong push. The heavy door slowly opened, flooding it with a rowdy sound wave and a hurried heat wave.
Although it was still late afternoon, there were already many customers in the pub. Some are temporary workers, looking for opportunities here, waiting to be hired. The others simply stayed silent, numb with alcohol. The pub is dim. In the middle, there were two large iron cages with the bottom third sinking deep into the ground without any gaps.
People held wooden wine glasses and surrounded them, sometimes discussing loudly while laughing, sometimes cursing loudly. Looking at a glimpse of astonishment, Laville found two dogs locked inside.
One of them is black and white, similar to the huskies found on Earth. The others were completely black, with shiny fur, making them look healthy and ferocious.
"Do you want to bet?" Doug has won eight games in a row!" said a small man wearing a brown beret, as he approached Laville and pointed to the black dog.
Laville was initially startled by confusion before returning to her consciousness, she then asked, “Do you mean a boxing fight or a fight with a dog or something?”
The man then replied by shaking his head, “No-Of course not. We are clean people, not like rude people who do such things. Plus, a few weeks ago a law was enacted for the prohibition of such things.”
Hearing the little man's words, Laville was a bit confused and asked again, “Then, what are you betting on?” Then the man again replied Laville, “In addition to the usual games like cards, we also have a game to pit the dog.”
“Soing between dogs?” Laville asked curiously, after which the man went back to explaining, “No, it's not like that, we usually pit the dogs with a bunch of rats and bet which dog catches the most rats.”
“Is that?” Laville replied, she then smiled slightly and went towards the bartender's place.
So I see, it's pretty funny. It is fitting that many buy the rats found along Iron Cross Street, for this is what the rats are for. That's a good utilization method.
After that Laville continued to walk towards the bartender and then sat down, the bartender approached him, “What do you want to order?” Ask the bartender.
Laville did not plan to order anything but she was curious, she then asked the bartender, “What are you doing here?” The bartender replied, “The cheapest ones are Lanti beer at four cents, and Southville beer at four and a half cents.” Say the bartender with a flat face while wiping the glass.
Laville then said to the bartender, “I'm here to find Osnald.” The bartender then shouted and called out the name of the person Laville was looking for, “Osnald's old sister! Someone is looking for you!”
After a while, an old man walked over to Laville's side, he looked a bit drunk, “Oh, who's looking for me? Nad are you looking for me?” Laville replied, “Iya, I came here to hire a small mercenary.”
The old man then kept silent for a moment, he then asked, “Did you accidentally get into a dispute or something else.” Said the man with a little laugh. He then continued, From where do you know this place to hire a mercenary? Who told you about this.” After hearing that, Laville then replied honestly, “Dunn Stein.”
After hearing that the man immediately laughed and then said, “So yes. Yeah, looks like we still have some small mercenaries you can meet. Then go to 28 Zoutern Street, go to the second floor to submit your request.”
Laville was a bit confused but she agreed and greeted her to leave.
After getting out of the bar, he then walked around wondering to the people he had met where to go to Zoutern Street. After a while he had finally reached Zoutern Street and started counting the building numbers there.
22, 23, 24, 25, …
He then found the place he was looking for, he then looked up to find out the name of the place. It says ‘Whitethorne Security Company with a tree logo with black roots and ash and a picture of a dog on either side.
He then looked around for a moment.
Security company? Is there a place like this, actually?
He then walked into the place, he saw no one there, Laville thought there might be some work. He then went up to the second floor just like Osnald had said before.
