The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

45 – Modest

The day after the Messiah Club’s first camping. After tidying up the tent and getting out of the island, I went to the Information Guild Modist as planned.

Let’s sit down at the table after the inconvenient confirmation process, wearing a cape and mask like last time. The woman wearing the cat mask she had seen before appeared as the wall flipped over.

“Hello. Sir.”

“Is the investigation over?”

Let’s go straight to the main topic after a bright greeting. The woman sat across from her and nodded her head.

“Yes, pricing for the information you sold has been completed. We have prepared the information you want to purchase at that price.”

The woman put the report she was holding onto the table and pushed it towards me.

I accepted it and checked the report with anticipation. The content of the report was not what I wanted.

[Results of Modist’s investigation. Green Mage Master has never conducted research on stone thorn disease. It is confirmed that research related to Stone Thorn Disease has not been conducted even inside the Green Mage Tower.]

What… ? Apparently, a year later, the green magic tower trades the cure to Bella, who is suffering from stone thorn disease, at a price.

But the Green Mage Tower isn’t doing research on stone thorn disease… ?

I was a little taken aback by the situation that was different from the setting book, so I checked the back page to see if there was anything else. There was nothing.

“Are you sure… ? Is it different from the information I know?”

Let’s ask that in a slightly suspicious voice. The woman replied in a natural voice.

“I am sure. This information was obtained directly from the wizard inside the Green Mage Tower, and I ventured into the room of the Mage Tower owner to investigate according to the price of the information sold by the customer.”

I couldn’t help but nod my head at the woman’s words.

So, did the green magic tower find a cure for stone thorn disease within a year? ? My plan to find a cure for Stone Thorn’s disease faster than originally intended and solve the problem of lack of magical power was shaken.

“And this is about the green mage lord you requested.”

In the report the woman handed over to me, there were details about the owner of the Mage Tower. The report, which included various miscellaneous details such as body size, favorite food, and regular shops, showed how excellent the information guild was.

To roughly summarize the contents of the report, Estian, the green Mage Tower Lord, is evaluated as the least skilled among the Mage Tower Lords. The operation of the mage tower is receiving good reviews.

With this, I couldn’t find any clues about stone thorn disease. It was a bit disappointing, but I couldn’t give up.

“I don’t trade.”

Did you wait for my words? The woman asked, immediately pulling her paper out of the drawer.

“Are you buying or selling?”

“Both.”

As expected, the woman nodded and said.

“Then, we will proceed with the sale of information first.”

Before coming here, I organized the trash that I can get rid of in my head. Followers of the Demon King, and parasites that cling to the church later.

“Earl Lufen is a follower of the Demon King. The reason is to revive the deceased daughter, and her corpse is kept with magic so that it does not rot.”

“Is there evidence?”

“The wife of Count Lufen is looking for her maiden maidservant. Hire her as her maid to kill. Dispose of the body through the sewers.”

The woman who wrote down my words nodded her head and asked.

“What kind of information would you like to purchase?”

My current goal was one. Finding a cure for Stone Thorn’s disease and solving the problem of insufficient magic power.

“Find out if anyone is doing research on stone thorn disease.”

“Okay. I think it will take about a day this time.”

I wondered at the woman’s words that I was faster than before.

“Is it shorter than before?”

“If you find out that the green mage lord isn’t doing research on stone thorn disease, I thought the customer would definitely find someone else, so I researched it in advance. And it’s easier to investigate the Count than it is to investigate the Sixth Prince. “

Competent. Anticipate what customers want and prepare in advance.

I stood up with a satisfied smile behind my mask.

“Okay, come back tomorrow.”

“Wait a minute.”

I sat down again, puzzled by the woman’s words as she tried to get me off the table.

“Why?”

“It seems that our guild leader is interested in the valuable information you are selling.”

When I heard the word guild leader, it came to my mind when I set up modist. Estelle is the heir to the world’s best assassin group, and the leader of the information guild Modist.

At first, it was a setting made with the idea of appearing as Roel’s heroine. There were already many heroines around Roel, who were popular with readers, and in response to the readers’ reaction that no longer wanted a heroine added, she was a good friend who often helped Rosalyn with ‘information’ instead of a heroine.

The character’s settings were fixed, but because of the changed settings. The character’s mannerisms or personality were never mentioned in the novel. A person who became an extra who often appears only by name when Rosalyn says, “I heard about it from Estelle.”

Then now. Is Estelle’s character setting that I wrote still being maintained? I was a little curious.

“After checking this information, the guild leader told me to give you a name separately.”

“Name?”

This was a pretty good deal. Bella also spent quite a bit of money to get the name of this place.

“Yes, customers whose names exist, not customers, have fewer commissions, and it is very helpful in using Modest.”

“Yes.”

I don’t think the name was given because the quality of the information was good. I don’t know exactly why, but Modest’s basic principle was to guarantee strict confidentiality from customers, so there was no risk.

In that case, there’s no point in refusing to give it away for free.

“Then, I’ll come back tomorrow.”

As I said that, I slowly got up from my seat in case I caught her again, and the woman wearing the cat mask also got up and bowed down until I left.

“Thank you for using it!”

I was satisfied with a woman who was good at work and even kind, and got out of Modest.

“Amber, the guest has gone… ?”

Amber stooped down until the footsteps of the customers faded away, until she heard a small voice behind the wall.

“Yes, I went. You can come out now.”

The wall flips over at Amber’s words. A girl with a small body and lovely appearance. Estelle appeared.

Estelle, wearing a gothic black dress and her purple eyes shining, asked Amber in an expectant voice.

“What, what are you saying… ? Did you like it?”

“You didn’t particularly like the look, did you?”

Estelle stamped her feet at Amber’s insensitive answer.

“Uh, why… ! I thought she would definitely like it….”

Amber let out a heavy sigh at the sight of Estelle fiddling with the hem of her skirt.

‘Who would consider this man the heir to the Black Eye, a group of assassins? No one will believe me even if I say that I am the head of the Modist guild.’

As an assassin, his ability is certain, but in order to pass on the family’s vision. Since she was born, she has been living deep in the canyon, her secret training ground, so Estelle has not been very social.

Even before she came to the academy, she was only with women, so she couldn’t even have normal conversations with men.

Still, Estelle’s abilities as the head of the modist guild were outstanding, and her eyes to see people were superior to those of modist.

Amber tried to comfort Estelle as she put her head down and wiggled her fingers, clearing the thoughts that were running through her head.

“You don’t know what a name is yet~ You haven’t experienced how good it is, so you haven’t realized it’s a good gift yet.”

The customer’s information has already been identified. She is a first-year student in the Combat Division of Transcendence, the same academy as Estelle Ross.

Why commoners? It is also unknown whether the first year students knew such advanced information, but the information was not false. Modest puts the customer’s confidentiality first, so he was only observing as a customer.

Fortunately, Amber’s comforting words eased her worries. Amber had to swallow a sigh inwardly when she saw Estelle’s face light up with a stupid hehehe laugh.

“Yeok, I thought it would be a nice gift!”

Amber suddenly became curious about Estelle’s expression, where her emotions appeared on her face.

“Then why are you paying so much attention to first graders?”

Estelle flinched at Amber’s words and shouted as if to make an excuse.

“Oh no! I am not interested!!!”

As Amber narrowed her eyes at that strange reaction, Estelle averted her gaze.

“No way… You don’t like it, do you?”

When she asked just in case, Estelle shook her head in surprise and shouted.

“My, I’m not interested! My friend likes it!!!”

“A friend? If your friend… Rosalyn?”

Rosalind was the only person she could call a friend at her academy to Estelle, who had poor social skills.

Of course, Amber, who had done background research on the guild leader’s friend, knew how obsessed Rosalyn was with Roel, so she wondered.

‘Rosalyn would like her older brother… ?’

As she looked at Estelle with her puzzled gaze, perhaps because she thought she didn’t believe her words, Estelle swung her little fists and shouted.

“For the love of my friends… ! You’re trying!”

“Ah, yes….”

“Jin, it’s real!”

Amber let out a deep sigh, thinking that she was mistaken about Estelle’s resentment.
