To Be a Power in the Shadows! Chapter 114

Ch 114
Super elite agent, whose name is…
The Autumn is coming to end, and the the temperature in the night is getting cold.
While listening to the insect’s chorus, I changed my clothes to a suit in my dormitory room. There were no suits in this world, but with the help of Mitsugoshi Co it have become extremely popular among nobles.
However, the suit I changed into is not Mitsugoshi Co’s production, it was a present from Yukime, made by White Fox Co, a rip-off suit—no, it’s a homage.
Black suit with white shirt and a thin black tie all together, also a pair of black straight tip dress shoes.
A one piece all black style, even the hair. Finished by putting on a mask that covers the upper half of the face.
With the feeling of being an F.B.I agent.
Slime body suit have the highest comfortability and functionality, wait… the girls don’t have a reason to find out about it. (ED: I swear I don’t understand what is this about)
I am a super elite agent who operates behind the scenes… hidden from the world.
While doing such things at home, It’s about time for Yukime’s date.
After extinguishing the lamp in the room, I jumped out of the window and advancing into the darkness.
Without leaving any trace.
There is no pursuer (ED: pretty much I wanted to write “no pursuer spotted”)
…
Dashing through the academy ground to the middle of a forest in a matter of tens of minutes, the noise of waterfall could be heard and an opened door was within sights.
There was a mansion, built alongside the mountain stream near a waterfall.
The mansion was called “Fallingwater”, and it is in perfect harmony with the forest, both Fallingwater and the mountain stream.
It seems designed by a famous architect, and it’s Yukime’s hideout.
…
Concealing my trace as it is, I quietly entering a room through the window room that leaks warm light.
Yukime was sitting on the sofa in front of the fireplace.
Silver hair shines under the light of the fireplace.
…
As footsteps coming from behind, Yukime turned around and smile.
“your presence is thin as usual, Shadow-han”.
“……discarded that name”.
I quietly said so, then I sat down on the sofa facing Yukime with my legs crossed.
“That was right, it is John Smith now”.
“Aa, that’s my name”.
I changed my birth as a super elite agent John Smith. I am the first person to chose to be a fearless agent.
“it is truly heartening to have John-han to accompany me for a drink”.
Yukime emphasis her half opened chest, to pour a glass of wine.
Yeah, yeah, how nice… dark organization’s sexy lady.
I pretended to enjoy the aroma, then sip a bit of the wine into my mouth. By the way, I don’t know the smell or the taste (of a good wine).
“All that matter is, I had my profit”.
“Ara~, don’t you think a relationship based on interest and profit alone is a bit lonely?”.
“I think we are of equal status in that regard”(or “I think our status is equal in that regard”)
“well… how about… finding it out?”.
Yukime lick her lips with her tongue gently with a charming smile.
“it’s a waste of time”
“what a shame… next opportunity…”.
Yukime fixed her opened chest, putting the glass on her mouth. Clear scarlet remains in her glass
“On the other day, there was a meeting on the commerce union. Well, this time the specific policy(strategy) is making its(Mitsugoshi’s?)debut and be conformed later. It’s already too late as the pressures are building up. Mitsugoshi Co will be crushed, but to think it would be this fast…”.
“There is no need to worry about Mitsugoshi Co, they are very sticky(stubborn?)”.
“Ara… John-han’s prediction is different. Well, thanks to Mitsugoshi Co’s stickiness, as expected as it’s like Shadow-han’s predicton. No matter, my plans will not change, Mitsugoshi Co and The Alliance will be crushed. Meanwhile, I’ll prepare for the opportunity to stir up—“.
…
“—-have to prepare… everything… on me?”
In the end the girls went all out, but the girls who just have been in business for few years cannot win against a long service –big commence alliance. Relying on cheat knowledge from another world have it’s own limit.
That’s why, it’s my turn now.
But still, since I have been to Mitsugoshi Co’s hub, and it’s managed by my friends, and they also taking care of me occasionally…
even though it’s all because of my knowledge…
That’s why I will put everything on my hands to work, it’s the only means to protect Mitsugoshi Co. Those girls will join me under the umbrella of our new company “J&Y Company” I guess…
Fufufufu~, so this is not a betrayal.
I am absolutely not doing this because I want to be like [The boss of large organization in the shadows that control the world of commence]. Really, I am doing it for the sake of those girls, as I am their friend.
“John-han have to work on the business or other things as well. Just, take care of your self.”
“take care of myself?”
Yukime stood up to a dim-lit place inside the room (shady place here means dark place, remember the place, only lighted with fire from the fireplace)
And then she turns her back facing me, and untied her kimono belt.
With a thump, and.
Her kimono fall onto the floor, showing a superb naked body illuminated under the light of the fireplace—or it should be.
But, there was an…… ugly scorched wound on her back.
“A man in commence alliance brought this wound (inflicted this wound) to my back. Name’s “Gettan” desu”
As Yukime’s back is still facing me, I observed with a side glance, that her eyes bore deep resentment to the max.
“I’ll kill “Gettan” and make sure that he dies”
Pachi,Pachi… the sound of burning wood coming from the fireplace,and Yukime’s dark voice resounded.
Yet suddenly, she laughed.
“Fufufutsu~, this is why, John-han, you will move in the shadows for such reason, please~?” (ED: I don’t quite understand this sentence, hope this is the right one)
Yukime then wear the kimono that already have fallen on the floor, and on her side, Natsu and Kana appeared to tie her kimono sash (belt).
After I drink the wine, I calmly stand up from my seats.
