TOFD 382

Lucky 382

Calix checked his appearance in front of the mirror. To make sure that no one would recognize him, he tied his hair and wore a blonde wig. 

He was wearing a suit because he would attend the party. The Triad announced a party and every invited one was a known criminal. 

As for the motives of this gathering, perhaps only the Triad knew the reasons. 

With his golden 'hair', Calix looked like a casanova. 

'It's a masquerade party so no one's gonna see my face.' He thought. 

Then, he turned around and his gaze became heavy. 

"Come out. You can't fool me."

"As expected of you." 

A woman giggled and passed through the wall. Shoujo Ramune was beautiful as always despite being undercover. She was wearing a dark-blue shoulder-off backless dress. 

Calix looked at her up and down. He caught something interesting. The woman completely changed her appearance. His eyes were on her waist. 

"Your ears and tails..." 

"Oh, you don't have to worry. I'm using a ring that hides my true appearance."

Shoujo Ramune pulled out her ring and her appearance returned to normal, the tails and ears appeared as well. Then, she wore the ring again and her tails and ears disappeared. 

"I see. Is that a rune item?"

"Yes. It was found in an ancient ruin on the western continent. Considering that the Dwarven Kingdom was in the western continent, Archeologists love going there."

The western continent was not a safe place. Most of the kingdoms and countries in the western continent were weak. The government didn't care about its citizens and corruption and embezzlement were frequent. 

"Your appearance needs more changes, but since you are not famous and no one really knows your affiliation, I guess it's enough." She nodded after looking at him. 

"Your attire is quite amateur. Your hair doesn't even look natural. Let me fix it."

"I'm sorry about that." 

Calix was quite confused. He thought that Shoujo Ramune was mad at him. But after looking at her, Calix felt that the woman was normal. 

'Indeed, she is a professional. She never let her emotions affect her job. As expected from an actress.'

He respected her for that. 

Calix sat down and let Shoujo fix his hair. She combed his hair and adjusted it so that it would look natural. 

"Now, it looks better."

He was satisfied with her job. His hair looked real. 

"Now let's check your feet to make sure that they are real." She said and tried to pull his shoes off.

"Okay... Hey, wait a minute! What are you doing!?"

He backed away from her. Calix recalled that this woman had a thing for feet. 

'She took pictures of my feet last time.'

"Tch."

Shoujo clearly clicked her tongue. 

"Don't get me wrong. I don't like you at all. It's just your feet show a story."

"What are you even talking about?"

He was getting goosebumps listening to her. 

"Let me explain. Your feet have scars, it shows that you suffered in the past. Probably for three years, you experienced bad things over bad things. However, your nails are well-trimmed. I can see that have discipline. And dem toes..."

"Okay okay. You don't have to speak anymore. I understand."

 He quickly stopped her from continuing. The more he listens, the greater his goosebumps are. 

'I don't know what is wrong with this woman. Perhaps fame gave her eccentric attitude.'

"Here is your mask. Wear it before we get there."

Shoujo shrugged and passed him a mask that covered his eyes and nose. 

"Thanks."

"Then, let's start."

"How do we get there? I don't know the location."

"Don't worry, we have an informant."

The two used a flying ship and went to an abandoned building. 

"... Why are we here?" Calix was perplexed. 

"Just wait and you will see. I'm sure you will be surprised."

A few seconds later, a portal materialized and Calix was indeed surprised. 

Yuna came out of the portal.

'What is she doing here?'

To be honest, Calix didn't know Yuna's job. It was a top secret. 

"Agent 006, and this person is?" 

Yuna was serious. Her usual playful expression was gone as if she was used to this kind of job. 

"This is my partner, agent 069."

"I see." 

Yuna approached him, without knowing that he was actually her lover. 

Yuna narrowed her eyes. She felt that she knew him. Her nose furrowed when she smelled him. 

'Did I know this man?' She thought. 

"Is something wrong, Luitenant Garcia?" 

Shoujo Ramune was confused too. 

"No... I just feel like... Never mind. You can leave now. The portal connects to the area where the party is."

"Then, we will leave."

"Hm, make sure to do your mission right."

Calix and Shoujo entered the portal. A few seconds later, the portal disappeared.

"Did you know Lieutenant Garcia?" 

Shoujo asked him.

"..."

Calix didn't answer her question. Instead, his demeanor changed. 

"... Let's go."

She didn't know what happened but it seemed that she was right. 

'Calix and Luitenant Garcia know each other. As for their relationship, it's still a mystery. But if there's one thing that I'm curious about, it's the fact that President Esmeralda let this man join me in this dangerous mission. It doesn't look like he has a powerful TA. He looks normal in my opinion, only good at close combat.'

The two wore their masks. 

"Follow me." 

Shoujo took the lead. There was a locked door and Shoujo easily passed through. 

She opened the door for him. 

Now Calix realized why Esmeralda entrusted this job to Shoujo. The fox-woman could escape the danger with her ability. She had the best power in terms of infiltrating. 

They easily entered the party with no one recognizing that they were spies. 

The hall was wide and there were thousands of people drinking and talking. Just as they heard, everyone was wearing a mask. 

If there was one thing that caught their attention, it was nothing but the fact that three people were sitting in their thrones on top of the stage. 

These three people were the Triad. The three DemiGods who controlled the underground society.
