"Miss you are here"

"h.e.l.lo Carl, lets sit down first"

"Yes . Please follow me to the meeting room"

Carl guides me to a big room by his office side . Different from most of the things of IP which tends to a more innovative style, the room had a very cla.s.sic feeling to it . Whereas the other places scream novelty, the whole Cerberus building gave a very 'homey' feeling .

"I like what you did with the place"

Carl scratched his head .

"Thank you for the praise Miss, but I'm not the one respond for it . In truth one of the boys fussed about how my decoration was crude and all, and took over the reformation"

"Is that so?"

Honestly I'm impressed . If you told me an ex-hoodlum would be this great of a designer I would have trouble believing it . Regardless . . .

"You should offer my praise to him"

"Sure thing Miss . The lad will probably cry loud when he knows you liked his design . But leaving that aside, I presume you came to see the reports right? Here"

Giving me a pile of doc.u.ments, Carl started to report the events of this week .

All the rumors, the n.o.bles movements and the market tendencies were detailed in the papers . They apparently also found the columnist who wrote that amazing article .

But something is really bothering me .

Carl is acting normal . Like this is any other day .

I know that is very hypocritical of me, but shouldn't he be mad or at least a bit disturbed?

"Is there any problem Miss?"

Probably noticing my frown whilst he reported, Carl stopped his speech and questioned me with a very puzzled face .

There is!

"Sorry Miss . What's the problem?"

Ops . My indignation with the current situation is so big that I thought aloud . What a slip for the one crowned as the master of etiquette .

The troubled face my subordinate was giving aggravated the problem .

*sigh*

"Sorry, Carl . I didn't mean to trouble you more . But I'm honestly curious about something"

"That's nothing Miss . What's the problem?"

"Don't you hate me?"

The troubled face was replaced by puzzlement .

"Why should I?"

I feel a piece of my heart just fell off .

Wouldn't a normal person be angry with someone who killed his friends even with a motive? Is this an angel who gives the other face when slapped? Or did I dream of killing traitors but everyone is alive?

I nervously play with my nails . Urgh . This is so hard . I should just leave it be, but this situation is making me crazy .

"Y-you know . . . the ones who pa.s.sed away last week . . . "

Carl's face went blank before a thunderous laugh exploded . He laughed so hard that he had tear in his eyes . . . or are they perhaps of sadness?

"Are you Okay?"

"*haha* I'm so sorry Miss but *haha* is such a gap having a kind boss that the laugh came naturally"

"O-Oh I see . . . "

"*haa* too good . To answer Miss, no, I don't hate you . I don't have reasons to . I know it may seem abnormal to you, but we from the underground are rarely attached to each other . . . death among us is quite common . . . "

I really don't know how to follow this . . .

Luckily, Carl continued .

"Of course it's impossible to not have any attachment at all, so we have to choose the ones we are carefully . The ones you claimed their lives, none were from my group of friends . . . they always had something amiss . Besides, even we have our rules . Treason is a big no-no . There are many that do, but they're always in the future excluded . No ones wants to take a dog who bites his owners hand for a strange, right?"

"*sigh* it is as you say . I'm glad you are alright"

"Miss is too kind . Even if some 'Brother' were in the group who was killed I wouldn't resent you . A good boss like Miss is really hard to find . I'm you wouldn't take a life if you didn't had to, so be at ease"

"Thank you Carl, you really lifted a stone from my heart . Now that we have dealt with it, tell me more about the journalist"

"Her name is Aubrey Klunn, the second Miss from the Count Klunn . She's in the same cla.s.s as you Miss in the Academy . Apparently she found her love for writing in an academic club and is working in the paper hidden from her family . She chose to not attend her office these days because of the big impact the article had and- Miss is there something?"

There is Carl!!!

Mphksbhph

I freaking forgot the Academy!!!!!
