Episode 101 Whoever eats first (3)
Everyone gathered in the room after hearing the news from Lois.
Paige muttered with a slightly serious expression.
“It’s a bridge… … .”
Although I had been snooping around here and there over the past few days, I had no idea that the place where the stolen goods were hidden was on the bridge.
‘but… The safest place on board is of course the bridge.’
Paige, who thought for a moment, looked at Lois and asked.
“Where exactly is the bridge?”
“The captain’s bedroom on the bridge. They said there was a secret space over there that led somewhere. “They said they couldn’t check what was in the secret space.”
“That’s enough.”
“Of course.”
Lois nodded.
The special nature of the bridge, a place where ordinary people cannot freely enter and exit, and the bedroom of the highest-ranking person on the airship.
What would be the reason to create an additional secret space in such a space?
‘You mean he was the captain?’
In fact, the captain was most likely the person in charge of operating the airship and the general manager of the transportation and sale of stolen goods.
After gathering her thoughts, Lois smiled and looked at the page.
“Then, now show off your skills.”
“yes?”
Paige’s eyes widened.
Lois shrugged.
“You said that. “It is said that 80% of the success of a theft depends on finding where the item is.”
“… “It was like that.”
“I’ve filled in 80% here, so shouldn’t you fill in the remaining 20% now?”
“… … ?”
“Go and make a plan on how to steal the stolen goods without being detected.”
Paige’s face crumpled.
What does that mean?
It was clearly meant to pamper oneself.
Paige asked, rolling her eyes.
“Then what are you going to do, Confucius?”
“Hey, there’s nothing that attracts more attention than a kid like me walking around, right? is not it?”
“… … .”
“This kind of thing should be handled by experts.”
Only in times like this do you use your youth to your advantage.
Paige, who was muttering a little, sighed softly as if there was nothing she could do.
“ha… all right.”
She thought it was a good thing.
It might have been better for him to come up with a plan on his own rather than have some idiot who didn’t even know how to steal come in and discipline him.
‘I can make a plan that is advantageous to me. ‘Hehe.’
Smiling to herself, she nodded.
“Well then, I guess I should try my hand at showing off my skills after a long time.”
Lois waved her hand towards Paige, who was showing confidence.
“Use your skills to your heart’s content!”
Now, go and get to work, slave!
Lois’s eyes were beautifully curved like a crescent moon.
* * *
Time passed quickly.
As a willing slave, Page steadily developed a plan.
One day before the end of all scheduled flights.
They gathered in Lois’ room again.
At their center, Page reported their achievements so far.
“This is roughly the structure of the bridge that I confirmed.”
The page showed a detailed drawing.
Her words continued.
“There are a total of 14 crew members on the bridge. Among them, excluding the captain and vice-captain, there are 8 men and 4 women.”
“… … .”
“The operation of an airship is carried out in two shifts, based on the captain and vice-captain, and the captain is in charge of commanding the night flight. “The airship arrives and lands on the summer continent at approximately 10 p.m.”
“The original plan was to rob the aircraft right before it lands, right? “Shake it off and splatter it?”
“yes. So, the time we will infiltrate will be when the captain is on duty. “It’s not a bad time for us either.”
“Wouldn’t it be easier to target when the captain is asleep? How about right now tonight?”
“no. It is better to aim for empty times than to have an owner present. And the captain lives all his life on board in his bedroom. Sleeping, eating, even going to the bathroom… … . “He never leaves his bedroom.”
“That doesn’t mean… Does this mean that the captain is regularly checking the condition of the stolen goods?”
“It’s a guess, but I think it might be so.”
“hmm… .”
“So the best time to put our plan into action is when the captain is out of the bedroom during an off-ship night shift.”
“… Way?”
“I’m going to infiltrate the bridge by disguising myself as a crew member of another airship.”

Lois looked at the page in amazement as she recited the plan without hesitation.
‘surely… ‘An expert is an expert.’
Over the past few days, Lois has been observing how Page gathers information.
At the same time, I could see how she was able to become a renowned thief on the Autumn Continent.
It was a series of surprises.
‘They say a woman’s transformation is innocent… .’
I don’t know if it’s right to say this here.
But I couldn’t think of anything to praise Paige’s disguise skills.
‘How can people change so drastically?’
In modern times, there was something called special makeup.
In Lois’s opinion, Paige’s disguise skills were just as great, not less.
Haru is an elegant noblewoman.
Haru is a lively girl.
Sometimes it’s an old woman on the verge of death.
The atmosphere in the air also changed quickly.
Either arrogant or arrogant.
Or miserable.
It gives off a gloomy atmosphere.
Page, who could freely control all elements, was a true genius of disguise.
Even though I was watching her right next to me, her mood changed in an instant and I had to turn around several times to see if this person was actually the page, so if a complete stranger had seen her, they would have definitely thought it was someone else.
In this way, Page used his amazing disguise skills to go back and forth inside the airship, gathering information here and there, and even came up with a perfect plan.
I don’t know much about theft, but it was definitely not an ordinary skill.
While Lois was admiring.
Paige turned to Favreau.
“Mr. Favreau’s role in this plan is important.”
“Well, don’t worry! I will do my best!”
Favreau’s role is to create a disturbance in front of the bridge and divert the attention of the captain and crew.
Meanwhile, Page and Lois were infiltrating the bridge.
Lois’ heart pounded at Paige’s strategy.
‘this… ‘It’s like a movie, right?!’
An infiltration operation that takes place on a commercial ship to steal illegally traded goods.
Lois blushed, excited by the thrilling infiltration mission.
At that time, the twins snuggled up next to Lois.
“Roy what do we do?”
“we are?”
Lois is shocked by the twins’ urging.
‘Oh, I forgot these.’
It would be even weirder if these guys didn’t get involved in something that seemed fun.
However, the problem was that if the reckless twins got involved in this plan, there was a high chance that it would go wrong.
Lois thought for a moment and placed her hand on the twin’s shoulder.
And he said with a serious face.
“You are a humanoid.”
“A decoy?”
“yes?”
“My mission is to move with Fabro and distract people’s attention.”
“Is that so?”
“Well, can we do that?”
“Because it’s you, I trust you and leave it to you. As members of the infiltration team, the lives of Paige and I depend on you. Are you good at it, twins?”
“Yep!”
“huh! you can do it!”
Lois lightly left her twins in the care of Fabro.
Fabro’s complexion turned dark as two lumps appeared in an instant.
Fabro opened his mouth to save her, but Lois simply ignored him.
‘I can trust those guys’ acting skills, so they’ll do well as Yuinjo.’
Finally, a plan is made.
Afterwards, the plan was reviewed until late at night.
“Then the implementation… Tomorrow night. “Until then, get some rest.”
“Yes, you too.”
Lois and Paige looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.
As Page got up and left, Favreau hesitantly followed after her.
Lois sent a message to the back of Fabreau’s head.
[Don’t relax until the end and watch closely!]
Fabro, wincing, nodded and left the room.
So the last day of the flight.
Darkness fell and a peaceful time continued until the time of decision.
* * *
The next afternoon.
Bang- Bang-.
The bridge door rang loudly.
As there was usually no such commotion, the bridge crew members frowned.
“what?”
“What kind of crazy person bangs on the bridge door like that?”
“Aren’t you kidding me when I’m supposed to be working a shift?”
Bang-bang-bang-.
While everyone on the bridge was saying a word, the bridge door rang again.
“Youngest, go out and have a look.”
“yes.”
The youngest member of the crew sighed and opened the door.
A large, rugged man stood in front of the bridge door.
It was my first time seeing this face.
The youngest flight attendant spoke with a calm face.
“Who are you? No, more than that, you shouldn’t be doing this here.”
“Are you the captain?”
“Have you come to see the captain? “I don’t know what’s going on, but if you have anything to say, I’ll let you know.”
“If you don’t know what’s going on, get out! I’ll tell the captain directly! “The customer service here is terrible!”
“The bridge is a place directly related to the safety of passengers. so… … .”
“I’m not saying I’m meeting someone I can’t meet! “I just want to meet the captain. Isn’t that difficult?”
“That’s not it… … .”
“Tell the captain to come out here! right now!”
The youngest flight attendant did not know what to do due to the behavior being so reckless.
Meanwhile, a man wearing an eyepatch appeared from a space on one side of the bridge.
“What’s going on?”
A middle-aged man with an epaulette on his shoulder and a different outfit from the other flight attendants.
He frowned at the commotion at the bridge entrance.
A shout came out of the captain’s mouth.
“You crazy people! “Some crazy bastard told me to open the bridge door!”
“Well, that…” … .”
The complexions of those who remembered the unwritten rules of flight turned pale after hearing the captain’s displeased command.
The only eye glared at the crew members on the bridge.
“Everyone is out of their minds that these things will land tomorrow, right? “After this flight, you all get a pay cut!”
“S-sorry!”
The flight attendants repeatedly bowed their heads with pale, tired faces.
Meanwhile, the captain with an angry face approached the bridge entrance.
“Get out of the way!”
The youngest crew member retreated from the captain’s harsh touch.
The captain’s eyes widened as he looked at the large man causing a fuss in front of the bridge.
“What kind of misfortune is this place! “Go back now!”
“Are you the captain?”
The reckless behavior from a moment ago was gone, and a chill appeared on the large man’s face.
The captain’s face hardened at the sudden change in atmosphere.
He sensed something strange.
Sniff-sniff-.
The captain’s nose twitched slightly.
Although he is now the captain of an airship, there was a time when he was a famous pirate.
It was a smell I was sick of smelling at the time.
And even now, I still smell the fishy scent often.
‘The smell of blood?’
There was a faint smell of blood coming from the man.
The captain glanced at the man in front of him.
The hem of the large man’s pants came into view, stained with blood.
‘What is this guy?!’
The captain, sensing something strange, was startled and quickly tried to escape.
But the uninvited guest acted faster than that.
Deeply…
“Big!”
The captain’s eyes widened with a strange bursting sound.
A silver blade protrudes through the captain’s back plate.
“Huh?!”
The captain let out a short sigh and fell down.
“Ha, Captain?!”
“W-what?!”
The surprised crew members stood up from their seats.
Meanwhile, a group of men fell to the ground from the ceiling of the bridge hallway.
Beyond the captain’s body, the raiders who came pouring inside ran rampant in all directions, swinging their blades.
“Kaaak!”
“Oops!”
The crew members are helplessly swept away.
It didn’t take long for all the crew members on the bridge to be organized.
“Huh?!”
The youngest crew member, the only one who survived, turned pale as he saw his seniors turned into corpses and the blood they shed.
At that time, a masked person walked from one side.
A man with a large scar running from under his left eye to his right cheek.
Grumble-.
The person holding the sword walked slowly and swung the sword.
Phuwak-.
Tuk-.
The youngest crew member’s head fell to the ground and a fountain of blood poured out.
Blood splattered all the way to the glass windows of the bridge.
Blood glimmered in the moonlight in the darkness.
The eyes of the knife-marked man who saw this also sparkled.
“Phew.”
The corner of the man’s mouth, smiling slightly, twitched, and his scar became distorted hideously.
The man with his eyes full of glistening murder gave an order.
“Kill them all.”
At that command, the subordinates quickly left the bridge.
So the last day of the flight.
30 minutes before Royce and the others put their plan into action.
The slaughter took place against the backdrop of gloomy moonlight.
