章節 32: Supposed-to-Be-Confidential Info
After saying that, the red-haired woman named Agatha immediately covered her mouth. Her eyes widened.
[ "Oh shit. I think I've said too much," ] Agatha muttered to herself.
But Clyde, who had already heard about it, would not stop there.
"What do you mean Demon King?" Clyde asked demandingly while looking at Agatha with serious eyes.
[ "Uhhhmm... can you pretend you didn't hear what I said before?" ]
Agatha said with a grimace on her face.
'She's kinda idiot even though she was someone who called herself the World Master. Whatever World Masters are, they must be beings with power in this apocalypse.'
"It's possible that I did make a deal with the Demon King," Clyde said.
He decided to play a trick on this woman so he could gain information.
[ "Is that true?!" ]
"However, I'm not too sure. Under these circumstances shouldn't I take any means to survive? So, I take whatever anyone offers so I can survive. Even though I don't know who it is," Clyde said.
[ "Hmmm..." ] Agatha seemed to think.
According to Clyde, there would be no use even if she thought hard.
With her brain capacity, maybe Agatha won't get anything in the end.
[ "I'll tell you a little about the Demon Kings. Enough to let you know whether you made a deal with them or not." ] says Agatha.
Clyde nodded. Then he lowered the Elderglass Sword in front of Agatha's face. But he did not put the sword in the scabbard.
[ "Demon Kings are one of the three groups of Celestials. They will offer you the power of Hell, The Realm of Darkness. The power you will get will usually not be far from the attribute of darkness or the most common is fire." ] Agatha explained.
[ "Why do I assume you made a deal with the Demon King? Because you cast a Fire elemental Skill." ]
'So because of that. Though, this is a Skill I bought at the vending machine.' thought Clyde.
[ "So you did make a deal with one of the Demon Kings?" ]
"I don't remember," said Clyde flatly.
Agatha stared at Clyde with her eyes and mouth wide open.
She seemed dumbfounded at what had just come out as a response from Clyde.
[ "Hey! You're playing with me, aren't you?! You're making me give you information that should be confidential, and giving me such bullshit answers!" ]
Agatha stamped her foot on the asphalt.
The stomp of her feet shattered the asphalt she stepped on.
Making Clyde surprised at the strength of that woman with a slim body in front of him.
"I didn't trick you. Didn't I say from the beginning that I wasn't sure of all this?" Clyde asked back with a straight face.
Agatha just sighed. Then she slapped her forehead for lamenting her stupidity.
[ "Well, I don't think there's any other way." ]
Suddenly Agatha shot toward Clyde with incredible speed.
*CLANG!*
Luckily Clyde managed to raise the Eldreglass Sword in time to block Agatha's fist.
[ "Hmm? You can even block my attack without being pushed." ]
Agatha then spun around and kicked Clyde with one leg. But Clyde was still able to block the kick with his hand.
Clyde groaned as he felt the powerful force behind Agatha's attacks.
He had guessed that she was indeed stronger than him with the title of World Master she had.
Judging from the name alone, it's clear that Clyde as an ordinary player in this apocalypse game won't be able to match her even with all of his Stats already at the maximum level.
Agatha then jumped back. She looked at Clyde while tilting her head.
She looked at Clyde as if he was a creature that caught her interest.
[ "You're interesting. Actually, what are your Stats numbers?" ]
"You can't tell?" Clyde asked back.
Agatha stared at Clyde for a few moments.
Then Clyde's Character Information Window appeared in Agatha's view.
She seemed surprised after knowing Clyde's Stats.
[ "Not only do you have Stats at Level 10, you also have a Title. And I can't see your Private Attribute," ] Agatha said.
'She can't see that?'
Clyde thought this could work to his advantage.
[ "You still won't tell me who gave you that power?" ]
"Okay, I'll be honest with you," Clyde said. "I don't know who - or what has given me power. And I'm also honest that I use some knowledge from novels I've read about situations like this."
[ "Then, in a situation like right now, what should you do so I don't kill you?" ]
Clyde paused to think. 'Should I use that here?'
He recalled something in a novel where the protagonist experienced something similar to the current him. Not exactly the same, but similar.
"Perhaps you want to make a deal with me instead?" Clyde asked.
'Shit, I'm not sure if this is going to work or not. I must find a way to escape from here immediately if this fails.'
[ "A deal, huh..." ] Agatha said. ["Let me ask my senior first." ]
When Agatha gave a sign that she was going to leave, Clyde immediately called her.
"Wait! You'll come to me later?"
Agatha turned her head. [ "Yes, of course. If my seniors agree, we might be able to make a good deal." ]
"You should consider it properly. You can see how strong I am, right?" Clyde said.
Agatha smiled at Clyde. Then turned her body.
She walked in a very interesting way. Her short pants made Clyde unable to take his eyes off her nice ass.
A moment later Agatha had disappeared behind a thick green fog.
"So she still has a superior. Hmm... very interesting."
Clyde then continued. As it turned out, his way of offering a deal was quite successful.
It meant that those World Masters - Agatha and her superiors - must need something.
Clyde may have involved himself in a scheme carried out by the powerful beings in this apocalypse.
Regardless, Clyde thought of using them to his advantage.
He also got some valuable information from the carelessness of Agatha who couldn't keep her mouth shut.
She said there were three groups of 'Celestials'.
Whoever they are, they must be big players in this apocalypse.
