I fell into the world of cyberpunk games

He spoke in a trembling voice.

Even if I changed the topic, there wasn’t much to say, so that was only the case.

“By the way, why such a risk… No, are you giving me valuable information, and the story of Megacorp, who is also about Milicia?”

I was going to say ‘dangerous’, but I changed my words halfway through.

It was unusual for that detective’s eyes to twinkle.

I just bravely mentioned Militack’s top secret, ‘meta’, so it seemed like he felt that he should also bring out something similar to that.

If I had said it was dangerous, I would have been stimulated by it and tried to show off all kinds of secret Top Secret knowledge to prove that I was okay with that danger and that I wasn’t scared at all.

Just imagining it is terrifying.

There was absolutely no such thing as the Forbidden Tower Secret.

I’m not really curious about the dirty past that Megacorp, second in the company’s overall ranking, wants to hide.

Just knowing that makes the name line shorter. The proverb that unknown is medicine is not for nothing.

On the other hand, that crazy customer is still peeking at the timing, and if given a chance, even for a moment, it looks like he will open his mouth right away.

It looked like a moth running towards the flames. The problem is that sparks can bounce on me too.

Must be blocked It was the yard where I had already made one big speech mistake on my side.

Contrary to the detective’s leverage, he had no confidence in himself, even if he was found out. It was literally just a mistake.

Why did I spit it out of my mouth? Did you really go crazy?

Knowing clearly that all the surveillance and wiretapping devices installed by corporations were covering the whole of Dusk City.

Probably because of the side effects of the switch, his brain is out of his mind.

So I guess I just spit it out of my mouth without a filter as if I was drunk like this.

regret is terrifying

“Why are you talking like this?”

Self-proclaimed Sherlock Holmes said leisurely to me as I looked around nervously with a feeling of wanting to pluck my hair.

“Yeah, because this is the funniest topic. Chewing, biting, and tasting Megacorps up there is always a pleasure to chat with!

The reason why I chose Milicia in particular… Well. Perhaps it’s because it’s the hot potato that’s taking the most radical move among all Megacorps.”

The most unconventional move, a hot potato?

I suppressed my soaring curiosity. no. Don’t wonder why Just accept it.

I wondered if I had discovered a gap in my repeating so much, and suddenly a demonic voice pierced my ear.

“Watson, don’t you ever wonder how Milicia, once just a small machine parts producer, has grown into a mega corporation worthy of being called Megacorp? Not even an ordinary Megacorp.”

The detective naturally pulled out a pipe cigarette from his pocket and said,

As you can see, this is not a tobacco leaf, but an electronic type that smokes in liquid form. It looks like it’s made of wood, but it’s actually made of plastic.

There was another person here besides the chicken-head yakuza next door. Fake cigarettes and fake pipes are selling so well when there are so many idiots out there.

“If only a dozen years ago, we were in the top 5 or 6 companies, we have been rapidly expanding our business by repeating aggressive mergers and acquisitions a few years ago, and all of those businesses exploded… .

After doubling in her weight class, Milicia overtook all the prominent Megacorps and proudly took the 2nd place in the overall rankings. I mean, it’s a wreck.”

A word spoken by twirling a bent pipe with a finger.

“I would be lying if I said there were no side effects from that rapid growth, but how about it? A company that used to be a butcher who could only engage in arms manufacturing and warfare business, now has capital and power in its hands. Milicia is now aiming for hegemony in Dusk City, and furthermore, the world… .”

“Oh, stop. stop. You can stop talking.”

I stopped talking about the truth detective because I got bored.

If you leave it alone, it’s like a runaway locomotive, trying to keep going.

The scale of the story grows to the hegemony of the world.

That is an absolute specification.

and in the first place,

“Isn’t that the answer to the question I asked?”

“Well? What do you mean, Watson?”

“I asked him why he was telling me such a story. I know it’s important, but wouldn’t it be inappropriate to confide in one bar employee?”

I don’t want my hair to fly away, so please tell me it was meant to be told to someone other than me, but… .

Unfortunately, the self-proclaimed Sherlock Holmes didn’t seem to understand at all.

It’s not acting this time, I really don’t understand the meaning of what I said.

“Heh heh, Watson. It looks like he hasn’t gotten angry yet. You’re just a bar employee! I see you are saying this because this Holmes is trying to test you, and I sincerely apologize for the disrespect.

I’m blind, I can’t even recognize the dragon’s new guardian right in front of me!”

It’s a start again. They obviously speak the same language, but it’s a strange situation where they can’t communicate.

Is it difficult for me to understand because I’m not familiar with the Dusk Doshi language yet?

“It was the first time in my life I had a Fallen Angel like that. No matter how good Sei’s hands were, they were all factory-made mixed liquors, so there was nothing special… Basically, Fallen Angel is a drink that you drink with your eyes rather than your mouth.”

I borrowed the power of the switch in my head and served the Fallen Angels amazingly, but what does that have to do with the story?

“The structure of alcohol that is formed slightly differently each time the glass is struck, with the appropriate strength that is neither too much nor too short, and at the same time, a high-level serving that must show a slamming performance with big movements that satisfy the eyes of customers!

It’s a cocktail that I order quite often to show the skills of bartenders and waiters, but I’ve never been more surprised to receive a Fallen Angel than today.”

yes it must have been

The bartenders and waiters I’ve met so far wouldn’t mix cocktails by smashing the table face to face.

That’s what I thought, but it seems that’s not the only reason.

“I wouldn’t have been surprised if I had smashed a glass or table with force, sprayed a drink on my face, or swung my fist. Because it has already happened many times.”

“… That’s great.”

There is no real pro-level truth.

Hell, it’s a world where people are all wild because of the harshness of life, and even one wrong word can be shot.

If you provoke employees like that wherever you go, it’s amazing that they’re still alive.

“But you answered me with the cocktail you handed me. Three gleaming stairs soaring like the sky, intense destruction when they fall, and mixing.

That was the fall of the angel I had been looking for for a long time. An explosive moment as if you were watching the birth of the universe! Even thinking about it again leaves a lasting impression. It was truly beautiful.”

As if giving a speech, shouting in an elevated tone and breathing out.

… Did you take any medicine? No, I haven’t put a pipe in my mouth yet.

Whether or not you know my reluctant gaze, as soon as you finish replenishing your breath, you start talking again like a rapid-fire gun.

“As soon as I saw it, I knew I was stupid. How dare you try to test someone with such a high level and delicate skill! It’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Even though I know what kind of dragon’s nest the dragon’s nest is. Apologize again, Watson. I misjudged you. I thought he was a no-nonsense reserve worker, but he wasn’t.”

“… Yes. What. no. Rather, I was rude.”

Actually, he’s a spare employee who doesn’t have much to do with it. I’d appreciate it only if you misunderstood me.

As soon as I apologized, I took a quick bite and asked.

“So what does that have to do with what we just talked about?”

“…what you just talked about?”

Self-proclaimed Sherlock Holmes, who pauses to see if there is any buffering in his head when he asks my question and touches the electronic monocle in one eye.

He is rolling the rotary button on one side of the glasses with his finger to replay the conversation so far.

He was so engrossed in talking that he realized that he couldn’t even remember what he had just talked about.

“I… okay. Milcia. We were talking about Milicia, obviously. About the secret of Milicia’s rapid growth to become a megacorp that dominates Dusk! How are you, are you curious?”

As if he remembered it now, he was talking with excitement.

It doesn’t even feel like it’s really reliable at all. Wasn’t everything I’ve talked about so far actually made up nonsense?

If it were that person, I think that would be enough.

“Exclusive information that I have never shared with anyone else, and only I know. Watson, this is a special note to you as an apology. Appropriate compensation for the rudeness I have committed. Are you interested?”

Even so, I couldn’t ignore the still eyes that looked at me with a crooked pipe in my mouth with a grin.

If you think about it rationally, it’s impossible for a true customer at an alley pub to know the secrets of a mega corporation… For some reason maybe? I keep thinking that

And that’s why you have to be careful.

“no. I am not interested.”

Saying it out loud, he grabbed the wrist of the real detective who was about to inhale the smoke by pressing the button on the pipe.

“And our bar is no smoking by law. If you want to smoke, go out and do it.”

“Sheesh, you’re strict. Who is not Asian?”

That guy’s Asian tareung. When I fired, self-proclaimed Sherlock groaned and put the pipe back into his arms.

“Are you really not listening by the way? That’s great advanced information. Just knowing this… .”

“I don’t listen. I don’t listen.”

Just knowing that, I’d be happy if I didn’t get chased by Milicia.

If it is fake information, you do not need to listen to it because it is fake information, and if it is real information, you should never know it because it is dangerous.

Either way, there’s no reason to listen.

At my resolute attitude, the detective rubbed his lips with his thick face.

“Wow… It’s like a boring friend. You probably already know this, don’t you?”

“no. I don’t know at all. I don’t even want to know.”

“I will. no way. It’s a clue I found after a really long investigation, and you probably know that. That doesn’t make sense. Cancer, not like that.”

While muttering like that, he rubbed his many layers of chin and said it as if he had suddenly remembered it.

“Looking back, I was in trouble! Originally, as an apology, I was going to give you the clue I found… I can’t help it if I don’t like it.”

“Yes. You can not give it. Or if you really want to give it, if you give it in money, thank you-.”

“okay! right. That was it. It’s much weaker, but I’d like to give you a light present. My advice is to make sure you don’t miss the news.”

“… ?”

What is this sound?

More than that, he seems to have ignored the fact that he just asked for money.

Frowning, the self-proclaimed Holmes stood up, putting the cricket fries and cocktail glass on the table, which he had already devoured.

“Because there will be some interesting news about Milicia soon. Hmm!”

Then, after finishing the calculations, he walks out.

The gift went away without a single horn or a tip, saying nothing in English until the very end.

How much time was wasted on that damn man.

There was a lot of work piled up right now, so he moved quickly without even having time to think about the meaning of the detective’s words.

He puts away the glasses and bowls left by the detective, and goes to serve other guests.

So I worked for a while longer.
