I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

Jerome was about to force the candy on the two of them when he exclaimed, "Oh, it's not poisoned!"

Just as Jerome was handing candy to Lilia's sister, Lilia activated her power.

An earthquake suddenly struck the area where Jerome was standing, the violent shaking causing him to fall to the ground.

"Ouch! Ouch!" Jerome cried out as he fell to the ground, then sat up again, clutching his head.

The earthquake gradually subsided, and the church owner heard the commotion outside.

The priest walked out slowly, holding a Bible in his right hand.

Although he's called a priest, he doesn't look old at all; he has the air of a young man turning middle-aged.

The priest looked at the three people outside and waved for the two sisters to go first. "[Calamity Twins] You two go back first. Third Sinner, now tell me why the mission failed?"

Then only Jerome, struggling to come up with a lie, and the somewhat angry priest remained at the scene.

Jerome said, "Father, this is all an accident. You know, I have a grudge against the administrators in [Kafka's Human District]."

"I did it very discreetly! But unfortunately, I was still discovered! I finally defeated them after going through countless hardships and escaped!"

The priest raised an eyebrow. "Don't tell me how hard you've had it. What I want is an explanation for why you didn't hit Redner with your [Holy Replenishing Vessel]!"

Jerome showed his hands, which were bandaged, and said, "I escaped, but my hands are badly injured!"

"Of course I wouldn't be able to hit them when facing Redner and Noelle!"

"Father, think about it~ Isn't this all your fault...?"

The priest looked at Jerome with a murderous gaze. "Where did I go wrong?"

Jerome hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "Father, the location you gave me for the mission is problematic. You're asking me to do something in the territory of an enemy. Of course, I'm going to fail!"

"But it's not entirely your fault, Father. It's mainly because I was a bit careless!"

"I was just two millimeters away from succeeding! So, Father, please give me another chance!"

"Also, please don't deduct my wages."

Jerome clasped his hands together and looked at the priest with teary eyes.

These tears came when they heard they wouldn't get their wages.

The priest felt a chill run down his spine and had an urge to kick Jerome to death.

The priest sighed. "Your wages will still be deducted, but I'm not going to starve you."

"You'll only get a small amount of money, then I'll give you a new task. If you fail again, you're dead!"

Jerome nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, yes!!"

The priest waved his hand. "Your injury has healed; I'll hand over the task to you now."

Jerome: "Then goodbye, Father!"

[Perspective: Reid/Noelle]

The two, now awake, sat on the floor and discussed their next plan.

Noelle: "Reed, we can't keep running around like headless flies."

Reed: "I think so too, so what should we do?"

Noelle pondered, "Ryder, what do you think [a criminal] is?"

Reed was "somewhat like a captain or leader, and those SA?4011s were just particularly troublesome henchmen."

Noel suggested, "Perhaps we could capture [the criminal] and question him, since we don't know much about [the One-Handed Clan]."

"We don't even know where it is..."

Reed: "So all we have to do is wait here for them to come at us, and I'll just catch their leader, right?"

Noelle: "That's right, that's correct..."

But...I

Reed: "But what?"

Noelle's stomach growled. "Reed, I'm hungry... Jerome disappeared somewhere, and I didn't get to eat the delicious food he talked about..."

Noelle looked at Reid with teary eyes; she really seemed very hungry.

Reed scratched his head. "But we can't go back into [Kafka's Human Quarter] anymore."

Noelle lowered her head in disappointment, her petite body trembling slightly. "Mmm...so tired..."

Red looked around blankly. He was hungry too, but he was used to it.

But Noelle was different; Reed took out a map and placed it in front of Noelle.

Noelle, enduring her hunger, studied the map. "Let's go here [establish a factory/industry in the human/demi-human zone]."

"It sounds a bit like someone in the construction industry, but this is the closest one..."

Reed: "But can you still walk?"

Noelle tried to get up, but her legs were shaking and she couldn't stand up at all.

Noelle was already very weak from hunger. "I can't stand up because I'm hungry. Can Reed carry me?"

"I'm here to give Reed directions, please."

Reid nodded indifferently, but Noelle was somewhat uncomfortable with his rude manner.

Noelle quickly stopped him, "Wait, Reed, this is not right!"

"Let me teach you. First, put your arms around my back."

"Yes, then with your other hand you lift my legs up, and then you want me to come close to your chest..."

Following Noelle's method, Reed successfully lifted Noelle into a princess carry.

Reed said, "It's not that hard."

Noelle: "Let's go..."

Reed suddenly asked, "By the way, where did you learn all this?"

Noelle coughed lightly to distract herself. "This is just textbook learning... some basic questions."

(???? ? -???) "Don't ask these questions anymore, let's go..."

Meanwhile, some distance from Reid and Noelle, a man in a black trench coat lay prone on the inconspicuous lawn, observing everything.

"Why should I be the one doing this thankless labor?" This person was none other than 078.

To avoid detection, 078 placed his musket aside. He had made ample preparations to avoid being discovered when he hid in this spot.

Previously, when SA?4011 and the others were fighting Reid, 078 had already discovered that Reid's reaction speed was extremely fast.

Even bullets fired from the shadows could be easily blocked by Reed without him even looking.

It's clear that Red's observational skills are extremely absurd; 078 took advantage of the moment when people are slightly less vigilant after waking up to observe them.

Now the two are about to act again, and 078 then retracts his head and stops probing.

078's arrival here was purely on Cold Frost's orders; since Reid and Noelle's whereabouts were unknown, she was sent to scout.

Now, 078 can hear the faint voices of the two people and the map in his hand.

078 deduction (It seems these two are heading to [establish a factory in the human/demi-human area], which appears to be a place that sells building materials and has many merchants?)

Finally, 078 cautiously retreated, and after seeing that Reid and Noelle had already set off...

He quickly stood up and ran back...

(If you hand over the intelligence and then set off quickly, you can catch up with the two.)

078 calculated that if the information was returned within five minutes and a swift departure was made, Reed and Noelle could be stopped quickly.

078 was running when suddenly his foot slipped and he lost his footing.

078's right foot sank directly into the pit, and at the bottom of the pit, which could only accommodate one foot, lay a sharp wooden splinter.

"Aaaaaah!!" 078's foot was pierced through. 078 quickly grabbed the musket on his back and surveyed his surroundings.

078 discovered ten small, green-skinned creatures around.

"This is terrible, goblins..."

It was obvious that 078 had fallen into the goblin's trap; the goblin was naked and its only weapons were stones and sticks.

078 hit one of the goblins with one shot. "It'll probably take an hour to get back..."
