I was in the middle of tracking down and dealing with a traitor in the organization.

"Boss! We have a problem!"

"What is it?"

"One of the traitors has fled to China!!"

"Tsk..."

"What should we do?"

"We're going to China."

I headed straight for China because I had an acquaintance there who sells information. Has it been... about four years? That guy... he'll probably have something to say when he sees me.

After arriving in China, I headed to a certain building. A female employee greeted me.

"Oh my, Guest! It's been four years, hasn't it? How have you been?"

"Well... alright, I guess." "Where's that guy?"

"He already heard the news and is waiting for you inside!"

"... Word travels that fast, huh?" "Excuse me for a moment."

"Sure! Come this way!"

The employee led me to a room. There sat the strange fellow (?) I was reuniting with after four years.

"Guest, you're here? Have a seat." "Has it been four years? I almost forgot what you looked like."

"I've been busy." "Forget that, you know why I'm here, don't you?"

"My, aren't we impatient~ What kind of person are you looking for this time that brought the great Guest all the way to China in person?"

"I'm looking for a traitor."

"... Ah, that's my specialty."

His gaze changes, and he begins tapping away on a calculator. This guy... he's already calculating the cost.

"This is the fee." "I have to make a living, after all."

"... Fine. I'll prepare it immediately."

"That's my Guest. I love how quick you are."

"Shut up and just give me the information."

"Alright, alright. Calm down."

And so, I received the traitor's location and information from him. I immediately ordered my subordinates to find the traitor, then sat down for tea with him to talk about how we'd been.

"I should get ready to head out soon."

"What, leaving already? How disappointing~"

"I'll buy you dinner once I finish the job." "Consider it a request for a date."

"... What?" "Are you serious...?"

"Just kidding."

"Wow, you totally had me..." "You're really mean."

"Well, the dinner part isn't a joke, so clear your schedule."

"Got it~"

"I'm off."

With that, I promised to meet him again and left the agency.
