Of course, even if they knew this, there was nothing the two could do. Rather, if a Angel helped them without any intention and selflessly and thanked them, it would make Angel and Klein even more frightened.

Even Arianna only gave her Hidden Holy Emblem when she asked Angel to break into the Demoness Sect. Although Mr. Azik took great care of them, it was because he recalled many lost memories with their help in return.

"In short, he has no ill intentions towards us for the time being, well, at least not yet..."

Klein concluded, the two looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes the helplessness of being targeted by a high-ranking being.

Klein Fortunately, he conducted several divination on Gray Fog to eliminate interference and confirmed that Will Auceptin was not malicious, but on From Angel's point of view, he had encountered an unforeseen disaster and saved a couple who were affected by the Beyonder battle. Unexpectedly, he would also have contact with an unborn Angel.

She would not narcissistically think that the other party saw her beauty hidden under "Madness Ring", or that she really thought that this subconscious behavior of protecting civilians in battle was a noble sentiment.

The last time she encountered a presence high in the belly of a pregnant woman was when Tingen was fighting Evil God's Offspring in Megose's belly... She sighed secretly and no longer worried about this unchangeable thing.

"The repair of 'Red Haired Woman' may take more than a week. I'm going to wait at Oravi Island. What about you?"

After some discussion, the barrier that had shrouded the two of them in the past few days seemed to have weakened. The instigator, Angel, asked rather uncomfortably.

"I originally planned to go back after completing this commission, but now I can consider looking for some acting opportunities here. After all, 'Gehrman Sparrow' is already famous in Bayam and can easily attract the attention of official Beyonder and the military. In such a small city, there are more opportunities for acting."

Klein replied that his digestion of "Faceless" Potion was already halfway through, and the summary of Acting Rule was basically completed. Even if he relied on hard work and completed several performances that started and ended, he was sure to be ready for promotion within half a year.

On the contrary, how to remove the pollution in "Marionettist" Beyonder Characteristic became the biggest problem. He entrusted "Moon" Emlyn to live close to Backlund, who was suspected to have "Marauder" Angel's parasitic Leonard bought Mystical Item, but the other party's price was ridiculously high. If he paid the transaction fee of 7,000 pounds and the "errand fee" for Emlyn, he would almost be penniless again.

Acting and making money, two big mountains are weighing on Klein, especially the latter. He knows that Angel still has a lot of savings, but the other party is also worried about Sequence 4's Potion material and needs to save money. Moreover, he has just made up his mind to improve Sequence to protect the other party and borrow money from her. With his self-esteem, he cannot do this...

After laughing at his pretentiousness in his heart, Klein stood up from the sofa, packed his windbreaker and equipment, and planned to go to a nearby bar to try his luck, get the last Auxiliary Materials of "Marionettist" together, and find work on the way.

If he could encounter a high reward delivered to his door like he did in Bayam, then all the problems would be solved... He couldn't help but think about it after tasting the sweetness of hunting pirates.

Seeing Klein saying hello and getting ready to go out, Angel opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, but before hesitating, the other party had already pushed Door Opening out.

"Helene, you said that to bridge the relationship between two people, you usually need to..."

"Miss Angelica, the reward amount has been distributed, the total... ah, what?"

Under the pergola next to the pier, Angel, who was staring at the workers repairing "Red Haired Woman", saw Helene striding towards him and asked as if he was seeing a savior. However, he was interrupted by the latter's report. The two looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes for a few seconds. Angel exhaled first and said:

"You go on."

The confusion on Helene's face flashed away, and then he continued to report:

"The 800-pound bounty has been distributed. It has been distributed in full. They also asked to register the name. I followed your instructions and said that it was the collective work of the crew of 'Red Haired Woman'."

"Very good. Repairing the ship will cost almost 200 pounds. The remaining money will be reserved as the working capital of 'Red Haired Woman'. Only half of it is included in my investment amount."

Angel did not strictly account for this windfall, and recorded it all in the amount she invested in Helene. In this way, Helene has 300 pounds of flexible funds on hand, which can reward the crew members who left the port this time and improve the configuration of the ship.

A year later, the other party had to pay back as much as 5,300 pounds, including 2,000 pounds for the boat, 1,000 pounds of initial recruitment funds, and 2,000 pounds of "interest."

This can be regarded as loan sharking, but I see that Helene enjoys sailing on the sea and does not seem to care much about his high debt... Angel mumbled and thought of the previous question again:

"Helene, if, I mean if, there were some small misunderstandings between you and Tracy, causing problems in the relationship between the two parties, how would you solve it?"

"What! Me and Tracy?"

Helene almost jumped up from the chair. She looked around first and found that no one was looking here. Even the workers on the ship were working hard to repair the ship. Then she turned around, her face was full of crimson, whether it was because of anger or other reasons.

"What misunderstanding can there be between me and her? If she appeared in front of me now, I would definitely, definitely..."

She retorted, but her voice became lower and lower, as if she recalled the scene three days ago when Angel appeared in front of her in the form of "Vice Admiral of Ailment".

But soon, the panic on the face of "Hunter" faded away and replaced with a narrow expression.

"You didn't have any conflict with that Gehrman Sparrow, did you?"

She came forward and teased.

"Ahem, answer my question, Ms. Helene, who is in debt, I'm talking about if."

Not panicked by the opponent's counterattack, Angel asked without changing his expression.

"Well, if there is a misunderstanding between you and... me and Tracy," Helene saw that Angel was trying to interrupt her again, he quickly changed his words, "... there is a misunderstanding. First, we must see if the problem is serious. Will it have a permanent impact on the relationship between the two parties?"

"It's not serious. He's hiding some little things from me."

After thinking for a moment, Angel answered honestly.

"Did he confess?" Helene put a faint smile on his face again and continued to ask.

"Already confessed."

"Then it's no problem. It's not a matter of major impact. He has already confessed. Why don't you forgive him? Isn't it because you can't say it out loud?"

Angel answered with silence.

Looking at the "Demoness" who had almost reached High Sequence, but was entangled in a little emotional problem, Helene couldn't help but laugh. She couldn't help but think Tracy, whose flagship was destroyed and is now wandering somewhere, is also Demoness of Affliction. They are completely different in personality, behavior and rules of conduct, but they both attach great importance to feelings and are... single-minded.

"If the other party is not aware of the change in the relationship between the two, why not take the initiative to ease it? For example, find an excuse to give a gift?"

She suggested while holding back a smile.

"Wouldn't that make it my fault?"

Angel was still bitter about Klein's concealment. He didn't intend to be angry at first, but after leaving the other party in the air for a few days for the purpose of "playing Affliction", he became more and more angry. To a certain extent, he had indeed achieved his purpose of making himself feel like Affliction.

Except Potion shows no signs of digestion...

"That's not the point. Isn't the ultimate goal to maintain the relationship between you and Gehrman?"

"You're right... wait a minute, I'm not talking about Gehrman, I'm talking about you and Tracy!" Only then did Angel realize that he had been deceived by Helene, and quickly retorted, "Besides, where did you learn this knowledge?"

"I, I read it from a book..." This time it was Helene's turn to hesitate, "Tracy likes to listen to those love stories, but she doesn't want to read them by herself. I help her read them every time."

Alas, it turns out that he also has no practical experience...

Angel covered his face, but quickly stopped Helene who was about to leave:

"Do you know any Artisan on Oravi Island that can make Mystical Item?"

At dusk, Angel returned to his residence from the dock. After opening the living room door of the suite with the key, he was surprised to find that Klein was not at home, and there was a message on the table.

She moved closer curiously and found, as expected, a message from Klein.

"Temporary commission... use Faceless's ability to act as a Navy Admiral, and stay in Oravi Island as the other party's substitute for three to five days, and the reward is 1,000 pounds?"

After putting down the message, Angel looked out the window. On the west side of the pier, not far from the port city, stood a naval base. It was the only fulcrum of Loen Navy in the Sonia Sea. The many islands further east belonged to the Feysac Empire.

In this important military location, can Navy Admiral's identity, even with Faceless's ability, be able to perform without any flaws?

More importantly, Klein was short of money, so the entrustment came to his door. He was Faceless, so the entrustment required him to pretend to be the other party. He needed to act, so the opportunity to act came?

Isn't it a little too coincidental?

"... Isn't it a bit too coincidental?"

A middle-aged man wearing a dark blue straight general's uniform, with slightly drooped mouth corners, and azure eyes exuding endless majesty, spoke.

In front of him, the leader of Oravi Island Adventurers' Mutual Aid Society, the usually optimistic Bilt Brando, was trembling all over, sweating profusely, kneeling on one knee, at a loss.

Standing slightly away from the two men, Klein, whose appearance has become eighty-nine points similar to the general, also agrees with the other's question.

What about "The helper I was looking for overeated to death", what about "Vice Admiral of Ailment is rumored everywhere that Gehrman will change his appearance", what about "Admiral Your Excellency is coming to Oravi Harbor soon, so I can only entrust you temporarily"...

If he hadn't divined in advance and eliminated the danger, he would have even thought that he was being arranged by dangerous items such as "0-08" again.

As Klein's thoughts flashed, Biert was trained with both grace and power. Navy Admiral Emilius Livett had already turned to look at him and asked in a deep voice:

"What's your name?"

There was invisible pressure in his words, which made Klein lower his head involuntarily.

"Gehrman Sparrow."

This was the most frustrating time for him to report his registration number since he came to the sea.
