The so-called 'Big Madam' was able to remain undiscovered and at large for so long, so she naturally had her unique qualities, one of which was caution. And after the CCG learned the transaction location, they naturally immediately dispatched people to set up around the site, aiming to catch them by surprise.
On the other side, Lancer and Akira Mado, whose mission was temporarily over, also left together, but for the next period of time, Akira Mado had to temporarily hide, after all, her situation was classified as 'captured', and in order to deceive the ghouls, it can be said that no one knew about Akira Mado's safety except for the mission execution team and some high-levels.
Of course, Kureo Mado, Akira Mado's father, also knew about this. After learning that his daughter was not actually captured, he was also relieved, and he unconsciously nodded when he heard that the person who rescued Akira Mado was Lancer.
However, Lancer, who was approved by Kureo Mado at this time, looked awkwardly at Akira Mado, who was sitting on the sofa with her arms crossed.
"Akira, would you like a cup of coffee?"
Looking at the cup handed to her, Akira Mado glanced at Lancer but did not refuse. Instead, she took a sip and placed it on the coffee table. Her attitude was already very clear, and Lancer sighed after rubbing his head.
"Akira, do I really have to say it? You should also be able to tell that if I really tell you, you will inevitably be drawn in."
Lancer tried one last time, but unfortunately, Akira Mado's attitude remained very simple. She just watched Lancer silently with her arms crossed.
"Alas~ Forget it. I originally planned to tell you this when I left..."
"Slap~!"
As soon as Lancer finished speaking, Akira Mado, who was originally sitting on the sofa, suddenly stomped on the coffee table, grabbed Lancer collar, and forcibly pulled him closer.
With Lancer strength, he could easily break free, but judging by the other party's expression, he knew that if he resisted, it would basically never end, so he simply allowed himself to be pulled over by the other party, but what happened next was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Because when he saw Akira Mado's eyes, he suddenly froze.
How should he put it? Akira Mado's gaze at this time was too complex.
Surprise, anger, and sadness?
Lancer felt that he couldn't quite figure out why she had such a look in her eyes.
"Lancer."
Although she just simply called out his name, Lancer felt the weight in Akira Mado's slightly trembling voice at this time.
"Are you... still going to leave?"
He opened his mouth, seeming to want to say something, but in the end, he didn't say it.
The room fell into a strange silence, but Lancer finally made a decision.
"Yes. I will leave when I completely resolve the ghoul issue."
Lancer answer was completely unexpected by Akira Mado, not only because Lancer admitted that he would leave but also because of the second half of his sentence –––––– 'completely resolve the ghoul issue'.
The sadness she felt because the other party admitted that he would leave was mixed with the incredulity she felt because of the second half of his sentence.
Humans in this world constantly hope to completely resolve the ghoul problem, but unfortunately, there is still no feasible way so far. That's right, they can't even find a direction.
Creating a genetic weapon to completely eliminate ghouls?
Who can guarantee that the genetic weapon will not mutate and affect humans as well?
Ignoring the lives of ordinary people and forcibly conducting searches and extermination?
The entire world would probably fall into chaos before the operation even began.
The only thing they can currently hope for is that with the advancement of technology, portable instruments can be used to distinguish between ghouls and humans. That is relatively more reliable. As for what happens after that? They will worry about that once they reach that stage.
Lancer words seemed like a joke to Akira Mado, but looking at Lancer serious eyes, she realized one thing –––––– Lancer was serious.
He seriously considered this matter and was working hard for it. According to the current technology, logically speaking, it should...
Wait! There is another possibility, an option that shouldn't have appeared.
"Lancer, what exactly is that ability you have, where you seem to become another person, and the ability to turn from a bird into a human?"
Had she even recovered the memory of the transformation magic?
Lancer knew that he had completely lost the opportunity to hide anything. After all, he himself was not good at lying, and a single lie often requires countless lies to fill. If it was only 1/10, he might be able to barely bluff his way through, but 100% is not that easy to fabricate.
"It's magic."
Akira Mado's first reaction was denial, but when he looked at his right arm continuously covered in ice and the ice spear in his hand, the scattered memories caused by the drug finally recovered a little.
"I obtained ghoul information, which might have taken decades or even a century to confirm, through 'magic', and handed it over to Doctor Akihiro Kanou. According to him, the laboratory product for edible ghoul food will be produced in the next few days. With this food, we can divide the ghouls. After all, not all ghouls want to fight humans. They are simply forced to 'prey' because they have no other choice. It can be said that food can reduce or even turn a large number of 'enemies' to our side. The pressure on the CCG will be much less, and we can also supervise the ghouls. Moreover, since there is a way to turn humans into half-ghouls, there is naturally a way to turn ghouls into humans. The only problem is that we don't have enough time, and the appearance of 'food' will give us enough time..."
It can be said that Akira Mado was one of the only two people in this world who knew Lancer entire plan. Even Kureo Mado only knew a portion, or rather, guessed a portion of it.
After hearing Lancer entire plan, Akira Mado also fell silent.
Although it sounded completely absurd, Akira Mado couldn't say that Lancer idea was completely unfeasible...
"I apologize, my mind is a bit confused. I want to rest for a while."
Seeing Akira Mado covering her head, Lancer also nodded. He knew he had said too many things at once. The other party needed enough time to understand and digest it. Thinking calmly alone would be more suitable for her at this time.
"You can sleep in my room first. I'll sleep in the living room."
After speaking, Lancer directly opened his room door, and Akira Mado also nodded with a complex look in her eyes and walked in.
"Click~"
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Lancer couldn't help but sigh.
Not only was Akira Mado's mind a little confused due to the information Lancer gave, but Lancer himself also felt a little helpless due to the unplanned developments.
'Forget it, time to practice the spear.'
Taking out the steel long spear dedicated for practice from his weapon box, Lancer simply set up his spear stance in the living room...
