Headquarters of the Wandering Merchant Association on the 75th floor of the tower.

“What?! The information has been leaked?”

“Yes. Among the Secret Inspection Bureau agents, there was a spy working for Grid.”

“How did you manage the agents?!”

Mason, the Chairman of the Wandering Merchant Association, was furious at the report given by Vega, the Director of the Secret Inspection Bureau.

The Secret Inspection Bureau is a secret spy organization created for the Wandering Merchant Association. But the fact that the agent, who should be extracting information from others, was bought by Grid and was leaking information…

“…I apologize.”

“So, did you catch the agents who were bought by Grid?”

It was most urgent to identify the spy, because if the spy is not caught, all the plans will leak out even if they are changed.

“Yes! We have caught a total of 9 people, including 5 regular agents, 3 intermediate agents, and Vice Director Itos, and are making them confess in the interrogation room about what information they passed on to Grid.”

“Even the Vice Director was bought?!”

Mason was surprised and asked back. If it’s a position of the Vice Director, they would know most of the Secret Inspection Bureau’s information. It was fair to assume that all the information about the Secret Inspection Bureau had been passed on to Grid.

“Yes. And it seems that your son’s whereabouts have been exposed as well.”

“What?! Jeras? Where is Jeras now?”

“Well… At Itos’s direction, he was deployed on a mission to infiltrate the 55th floor of the tower… but we lost contact with him and the agents 3 hours ago. There is a high possibility that he has been taken hostage.”

“Hmm…”

It was a troubling situation. It was highly likely that Grid would demand various things in exchange for his son’s life.

‘What should I do?’

Just as Mason was lost in thought,

Bang!

The office door swung open and animals led by Iona entered.

***

As the harvest festival ended, a sense of loneliness swept over. Sejun quickly shook off the gloomy feeling and started doing what needed to be done. It was good to move when he felt down.

“I have to cut the green onions.”

Sejun began to cut the onion leaves that had grown lushly because they hadn’t been cut during the harvest festival. He planned to harvest green onions in the wide onion field until he got tired.

Swish. Swish.

Onion leaves were being cut quickly. Sejun was now much faster at cutting onion leaves than before. It was the effect of his agility increasing by 22.5 during the harvest festival. Now, agility was the highest stat Sejun had.

When Sejun was concentrating on cutting the onion leaves,

Swish. Swish.

He saw other rabbits also cutting onion leaves next to him. The rabbits were feeling the same as Sejun. They were moving their bodies to shake off the gloom.

And thus, doing the work in the green onion field slowly faded away the gloom.

“Phew. Let’s call it a day.”

As Sejun, who had been working in the field with the rabbits until late evening, said this

Squeak!

The rabbits began to disperse, heading towards their homes. Now the rabbits had houses not only in the cave but also all over the ground.

“I should wash up and go to bed.”

As Sejun headed home after washing his face at the tap,
