"Don't worry, Black Rabbit."
Temporarily soothing the rabbit's emotions, Lin Que thought for a moment and added another sentence.
"The only time you can be idle is now."
"Once Wu Ming officially starts, even if you want to stop and rest, you won't have a holiday."
"Then it's a deal!"
Hearing that she would have many things to do in the future and would no longer be a mere mascot, Black Rabbit finally regained her spirits.
"I'm very capable! Just give me any work you have!"
Are you some kind of workaholic?
Lin Que looked at Black Rabbit with a subtle gaze.
Although he didn't intentionally do it, did this rabbit actively CPU herself?
"Let's talk about taking on work tomorrow. Today, let's celebrate Lady Leticia's return!"
After regaining her spirits, Black Rabbit pushed open the large door behind her, revealing the dilapidated front yard, a corner of which had already been tidied up by Kanroji Mitsuri.
"I've already prepared the ingredients. The children should be setting up the venue now. Both of you, please come in quickly!"
"...Master, is this really okay?"
Watching Black Rabbit's retreating figure, Leticia was silent for a few seconds before suddenly asking in a low voice.
"No matter what, Black Rabbit is also Wu Ming's strategist. Isn't it a bit bad to exclude her like this?"
Even if they didn't ask her to do anything, they should at least privately explain what they were going to do next.
"No, Leticia, you are still too naive."
Facing her doubts, Lin Que did not waver in the slightest.
"What we are doing now is essentially no different from ForesGaro privately kidnapping children."
"They are both types of loophole exploitation that cannot leave evidence."
"If we told Black Rabbit, do you think she could avoid revealing herself under White Yasha's interrogation?"
Why did White Yasha discover his small actions but still easily let him go?
Aside from Lin Que's own strength, the main reason was that no direct or indirect evidence was left behind.
Of course, he only caused trouble on a small scale and did not cause widespread destruction, casualties, or disrupt order, which was also a reason.
"Black Rabbit... indeed doesn't lie."
Beside him, recalling her past behavior, Leticia also felt a bit helpless.
Let alone a professional like White Yasha.
If anyone else who was slightly serious and earnest came to ask, Black Rabbit would definitely reveal herself.
"You don't need to worry about Black Rabbit."
"Although she says she can't accept it, she knows what she should do."
Lin Que thought for a moment and added, "If you really feel bad, just prepare a gift for her afterwards."
Recalling the two times he returned from playing in other worlds, Lin Que's face was full of confidence.
"With Black Rabbit's personality, as soon as she receives a gift, she'll definitely forget about the unpleasant things in an instant!"
Leticia thoughtfully asked, "Do you need me to prepare one for Master as well?"
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Lin Que smiled, "My gift... let me think, let's make it rabbit-eating grass."
Leticia: "?"
Are you sure you're not giving a weapon?
Silently, Leticia gained a further understanding of her master's maliciousness.
...
At the same time that the people of Wu Ming were holding a banquet to celebrate Leticia's return.
In the territory of ForesGaro, a group of burly beastmen gathered here.
"Boss Jia Erde, today doesn't seem to be a gathering day. Why did you suddenly call us all back?"
A beastman with a leopard head licked the corner of his mouth, an excited expression on his face.
"Could it be that you've found a suitable target to attack again?"
"That's right."
The tiger-headed beastman called Jia Erde nodded, an excited smile on his face.
"I received a big order today."
"People from Boirxiusi actively contacted us and asked us to kidnap a few children from Wu Ming."
"If we succeed, we can get a five-digit Grace and thousands of gold coins."
"What! A five-digit Grace?!"
"Really?!"
"Could there be a problem?"
"Yeah, the reward is so generous, why would they invite a small, obscure Community like us?"
As soon as Jia Erde's voice fell, doubts came from all directions.
Having been engaged in shady work in the dark for a long time, none of these beastmen were fools.
Or rather, the foolish ones had already died out completely.
The remaining people were basically those with bad personalities and a bit of cunning.
As soon as they heard the generous reward offered by Perseus, everyone immediately became suspicious.
"Quiet down! If you can think of it, can't I?"
Jia Erde snorted coldly and replied, "Perseus is looking for us for a simple reason."
"They need us to leave Hakoniwa directly for the outside world after completing this task, leaving no evidence behind."
"Think about it yourselves, besides us, who else nearby would be willing to take on this job?"
The outside environment is not like Hakoniwa; once you leave, it's difficult to easily obtain powerful Gifts again.
Leaving Hakoniwa basically means giving up on the future.
No Community with even a little potential would accept such a commission.
But ForesGaro is different; its members are all unmotivated, and they are rule-breakers who have killed people outside of Gift Games.
Instead of living in Hakoniwa in constant fear, worrying that what they've done might be exposed one day,
it's better to take a sufficient reward and live a life of debauchery in the outside world.
"Don't worry, I took on this task after careful consideration."
With a few words, he convinced his subordinates. The tiger-headed man, Jia Erde, continued, "That Wu Ming seems formidable, but in reality, he's only supported by the new leader and the Moon Rabbit."
"The vampire they just bought, there are only three people who pose a threat to us in total."
"Perseus has already promised to help me create an opportunity when none of the three are in Wu Ming."
"We just need to wait for news from them before acting, and we absolutely cannot fail!"
