To Be a Power in the shadows part 2

chapter 127

After fighting off the assassins of the Mitsugoshi Company, I lead the life of an ordinary student by day, and I play the role of an agent by night.

I contact Yukime in secret, help her in circulating the fake bills, and take care of those who tried to find its source.

The number of fake bills circulating in the market has also increased. There's sure to be someone among the Great Trading Alliance's executives who will start noticing things, or so Yukime has predicted.

However, at present, the only one who has noticed was the Mitsugoshi Company, so there's not much to do.

The Mitsugoshi Company is wary, but they still haven't made their move yet.

I'm free.

I want to do cool agent-like work already.

As I was having such thoughts while secretly guarding the counterfeit bill carriage, that day finally arrived.

A silent presence was approaching the carriage that's running through the night.

—An assassin.

Her movements are surprisingly good.

Her presence is thin. I know only one person that can erase her traces so well.

A familiar black shadow appears from the darkness.

A woman wearing a black bodysuit that cannot conceal her flexible muscles yet possesses a soft body appears.

No doubt about it, that's——Delta.

I see, as the previous three agents were repelled they sent in their strongest combatant.

However, the opponent this time is too incompatible for her. John Smith's thread user battle style is one that has the advantage against the muscle-brained type. If it's Delta, I can just tie her down with hidden strings.

No, her instincts are uselessly sharp, so there's also the possibility that she will be able to avoid all of them.

Rather, that will undoubtedly be the case.

Huh, don't tell me that the one who has to fight his most incompatible opponent is me?

Well, whatever. If it comes to that, I will just go into serious mode.

Thinking so, I appeared before Delta.

"My name is John Smith. What lies ahead———"

"—–Boss, what are you doing?"

Delta said that while sniffing her nose and wagging her tail happily.

"M....My name is John Smith. I am not your Bo————"

"Boss! You want to hunt with Delta?"

"................No hunting."

It's no use, she completely saw through me.

Although I took a bath and used perfume, I made light of Delta's nose.

I took off my mask and revealed my appearance.

"Boss is John Smith?"

"Well, pretty much."

"Uu, Delta can't win against John Smith. I have to tell Alpha-sama."

"Wait!"

I caught her tail while she was trying to run away. Whoops, it seems like I made a bit of her fur fall off.

"Kyaa! Tail is no good!"

"Sorry, sorry, Delta, listen well. Right now, I am conducting a classified secret mission."
