Ep12
Nepthys
(Will he be surprised to see me now? I am sitting atop his building after all)
Nepthys
I missed my freedom
Nepthys
*breathes* Letting me off the hook when your party's in danger and your leader's absent? Seems like such an amateur mistake to me
Nepthys
But thanks to that I got to parkour through the rooftops again. I sorely missed the vibe 😌. If only life could continue like this....
Nepthys
(Shouldn't have jinxed it)
Nepthys
Is that a rhetorical question?
Zen
You traversed around 8 km in 20 mins barefoot
Zen
You have got wings or what?! Unless your device is glitching you couldn't ha-
Nepthys
Check your windows
Zen
Where did you get that wine from?!
Nepthys
That's not important 😑
Nepthys
I told you your girlfriend is angelic. *sips wine* I finally got time for you, don't you want to go on a date or something?
Zen
*sits on his chair* Not everyone is a convicted criminal like you who has got time on her hands to roam the city or has the skills to parkour through it
Zen
Some of us have a regular job to grind in
Nepthys
It doesn't suit the son of the head of a conglomerate to comment about the daily grind. You were born rich and I never understood why you're setting your foot into the underground even
Nepthys
You know, I have always wanted a nice secure job. Sitting on the desk 9-5 without living in the fear of being arrested or murdered anywhere out of the blue, that's the ideal life for me
Zen
*works through the files* Do you think you deserve that?
Nepthys
*sighs* I know I don't
Nepthys
But what did I do to deserve the death of my parents? The abuse in the orphanage? The gutterish life I was forced into?
Zen
*looks at her* Being born was your sin and the pain of life is your atonement
Nepthys
But still amongst all this, you are my salvation
Zen
*chuckles* Quite romantic, aren't you?
Nepthys
*smirks back* You taught me that. Writing the leads in your stories to be so fascinating and charming....of course I would learn a thing or two from them
Zen
*flushes* don't remind me of my books. They were just pure fiction
Nepthys
They "were" until I went along and replicated them in real life
Nepthys
You should be proud of having such a devoted fan
Zen
I WRITE CRIME STORIES AND YOU REPLICATED CRIME!!!
Zen
You want me to be proud of-
Zen
Yes.... *picks up the call*
？？？
[From the phone]: It's me, can we talk now?
Zen
Continue. You got any leads yet? Have you met the head?
？？？
But I got information that the head is close to retiring and that the new heir is a girl
Zen
That's new, I didn't anticipate it
Zen
Have you met her yet then?
？？？
No. But hear this, it seems like she isn't much popular among the recruits. They seem to be preferring another girl named "Rouxi"
？？？
I suspect Crimsinairs will be easier to break down than Glaciali. We should exploit their internal struggles
Zen
Got it. Is there anything else?
？？？
Nothing more yet. What about Glaciali? The girl that went missing....have you located her yet?
Zen
You don't need to worry about that. We should move our plan forward. Stroke the flames of betrayal in the heart of Crimsinairs
Zen
We're getting this in the bag this time! Hah!
？？？
I would try my best for so
A secluded room in the inner courtyards of Crimsinairs
Koen
*laying on the bed hazily while writing something*
There is a sudden knock on the door that makes Koen spring up
Koen
Is that you Yvaine? *goes to open the door* I thought you disliked seeing me~
Koen
*opens the door* Have I got you ena-
Irene
So this is where she hid her little pet
Irene
That's not important. Who are you, traitor?
