-Vol 3: Enemies in The dark-

-The elegant witch!!-

Suddenly the lady’s eyes landed on Suguro and the spectacled man. She excused herself from the group she was talking with and rapidly approached Suguro.

Seeing this, Suguro began sweating. Why was this witch coming towards him? Had he done something wrong? The lady elegantly approached the two, while shaking her luscious ass left and right. Her endless grace had a certain allure that could entice any man and some woman.

But her allure and demeanor had the opposite effect on the two men.

“Oi, Suguro, had you done something?” the spectacled man asked hushing to his ear.

“No! Nothing I can think of.” Suguro denied his accusations.

“Then why is this witch coming towards us?” the man asked.

“How would I know?”

The lady smiled elegantly towards the two men who are huddled together as if they had just encountered a monster.

Well, to these two men, this lady was much worse than a monster.

“Hello, Mr. Suguro and Mr. Watanabe. How was the party? Are you two enjoying yourselves?” the lady asked with a smile.

“Ah, Well, we are just talking. It’s the best party I had ever gone, isn’t it Watanabe?” Suguro said while sweating from his brows.

“Eh! Yes. That is so. It is the best party ever!”

“Really! You two, your face tells otherwise though!” the lady eyes the two men while sipping the wine from her glass.

“No, we are serious!” Suguro said with a smile so forced that one can see his face twisting.

“You know, I am not a monster. Why are shivering like that? Are you perhaps, hiding something?” the lady asked seeing the men shivering like a leaf.

“What! Hide? We are not hiding anything, honest! We are just talking about the dungeon break.”

“Ah, Yes. I have read your report on the matter. You have given the detailed report on almost everything, but there are some points didn’t add up. If I remember correctly, you have mentioned about some powerful hunter who had immensely contributed. Why wasn’t there any reports about that man in the DCB’s record board?” the lady asked.

“About that…! He was used to be a low leveled hunter two weeks ago. During that time, no one bothered to record anything about him. Now after his awakening, we are digging everything about him as we can and inserting it slowly. Due to the dungeon break, the process had stopped temporarily. We will update it very soon.” Suguro answered like a robot. In front of this lady, he didn’t dare to hide anything.

She has enough power in her pinky to fuck his career several times over. Even if he didn’t tell her, using her means she would find it sooner or later. During that time, handling her would be even more difficult.

“Is that so! Then I will wait for the report. I hope it will complete within a week!” from her voice, it didn’t sound like she was wondering. It was more like she was ordering him to complete it within a week.

“Yes, of course.” Suguro could only nod while smiling bitterly. Witch! She’s a witch!

“By the way, why didn’t you bring him to this party?” she asked after taking another sip from her glass.

“He was recuperating right now. He had sustained some wounds in the war, six days ago.” Suguro spawned some lies. In fact, he had asked Kenshin to come to the party.

But his answer made him want to crash his head into a wall.

“What? A party among the upper echelons? I am sorry, I had sustained some injuries. It's very painful. I couldn’t stand for a long period of time. As such, I couldn’t go to the party.”

Just remembering it made him want to beat him up. If you are giving an excuse, then give one that was believable. Who would believe what you said when you are saying it while training a bunch of brats in a dungeon?

At least he didn’t buy it.

“Is that so! That’s too bad. I would have loved to meet with him.” the lady said, disappointment evident in her voice.

“Yeah. Well, I am going to his house tomorrow. If you want, we can go together.” Suguro proposed.

“Wow, that’s a very good idea. I want to meet the person, who, according to you, had single-handedly stopped two of the most fearsome monster hoards in the dungeon.” The lady smiled charmingly after hearing Suguro’s words.

In the first place, she had come here to this party to meet that person. But unfortunately, he didn’t come. She was a very punctual and hardworking girl and dislikes anyone who was not. In her eyes, Kenshin who didn’t come to the party was an arrogant fellow who didn’t put anything in his eyes.

She just wanted to see him in person and satiate her curiosity. She wanted to see, exactly what kind of person was this Kenshin.

Was he like all those typical hunters, haughty and arrogant? Or he was different?

Besides, those old men at the top had specifically ordered her to have a close eye on this individual. She couldn't help but frown when she remembered their secretiveness. It should be noted that she had access to half of the top secret files in all over Japan. But even then, she wasn’t allowed to know anything about this person!

What the hell was this?

“Okay. Then we will meet at my office at eleven.” Suguro said, giving her the time of arrival. He would be going to Kenshin’s place after twelve after all.

Suguro was also a little surprised at the readiness of this lady. It should be noted that earlier if it was about any other hunter, she wouldn’t have bothered this much. But for this Kenshin, she was even willing to go his home to meet him.

Something’s fishy here.

His years of experience was telling him; something very serious was going on here.

‘Did those old crooks noticed something?’ Suguro wondered. It might be possible. They were the absolute top of Japan. To them, digging out the details of something is of no problem to them. If those old men noticed something, then it might be possible that they had sent this woman for a different task.

If so, then what is it? Did they want to recruit Kenshin to the main branch DCB? Or is it something else?

While Suguro was thinking of this, the lady excused herself, and went back to the group she had come from. The party continued till the mid night.
