(EP-209.1) Summer #7
209 – Cold Summer #7
“Cold summer?”
“Yeah, that’s the name of this operation. Just so you know, I’m not telling you because I like you or anything. Got it?”
Agent A snorted and turned her face to the side. But she peeked with one eye to gauge my reaction, this sly fool...
I wanted to smack her silly.
Anyway, this was the effect of the magic “Mero Mero Beam” that I developed.
It created a gap in people’s minds, and they would start acting coy.
Although the magic was full of imperfect elements due to its incomplete development, it was perfect for interrogation as it didn’t cause any harm or damage to the body.
Thanks to this, we learned that the mission Agent A was referring to was called “Cold Summer.”
“Cold summer. What are the details of the operation?”
“... Who do you think will answer that honestly?”
Agent A deeply blushed, as if she was incredibly ashamed. After watching for a while, Mirna finally spoke up.
“It’s cumbersome magic. I think it would be better for me to just force it out of her.”
“But we won’t get anything if she dies. Although it’s bothersome, it’s an useful tool, so if you wait a little-.”
“Why are you whispering to each other? Are you ignoring me now?”
Agent A wriggled her bound arms and legs. She seemed annoyed that Mirna and I were having a conversation without involving her. Ridiculous. But Mirna was the one who responded with a smirk instead of me.
“You said you wouldn’t tell me.”
“Well, that’s true. But still, you shouldn’t just whisper with each other in front of me. And you two, stay a bit further apart. Is it okay for a man and a woman to stick together like that? Huh?!”
Agent A lowly growled with narrowed eyes. Seeing this, Mirna grabbed my collar as if she had an idea.
At that moment, Agent A became even more agitated.
“What are you two doing! Get your hands off of him!”
“I see~.”
Mirna nodded as if she had realized something, then this time, she slowly grabbed my fingertips.
Mirna’s hand was so small, soft, and squishy that there was no chance of mistaking it for anything other than a woman’s hand. However, there was little time to appreciate them.
Because the bound Agent A was in a frenzy.
“What are you fools doing! Can’t you get off quickly? Why are you staying still!”
Seureureu-.
Probably thinking that her threat worked, Mirna released my hand. Then she began slowly nodding as she mumbled.
“She seems to be jealous of me.”
Perceptive indeed.
“It is similar. It’s a spell designed to make the target feel favorably toward the caster. But it’s not completed yet, so they become coquettish like this.”
“Aha. But a spell designed to make someone like you. Why would such a thing be necessary?”
Mirna sharply glared at me, which made my heart pound. Why was such a spell necessary? Well, to seduce someone and win their favor...
This was like those hypnosis apps.
But if I spoke the truth, Mirna would spit fire from her mouth. So, I turned my attention away with a poker face.
“Isn’t there something more important than that right now? I will explain it slowly later.”
“.......”
Mirna’s suspicion was far from dispelled. The only relief was that Agent A seemed to feel excluded and irritated by our private conversation.
“If you keep ignoring me, I won’t tell you the truth!”
“Are you thinking of telling the truth?”
“Hmph, no-!”
Was she playing with me?
