Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 579 If I go on a mission with Leon again, I’ll be a dog!
Just waiting for that Leon to come back?
After listening to the thrush's retelling, the brows behind the white snake mask frowned slightly, and then asked in confusion:
"Did Aquarius tell you what he was going to do specifically?"

"I asked, but he wouldn't tell me."

The Crow Mask said helplessly:

"He only told me that although the woman in the Virgo branch had almost no weaknesses, her most important defensive anomaly was ultimately created by Aquarius and Taurus.

As one of the creators of that defensive anomaly, Aquarius didn't leave an obvious backdoor, but there are still ways to bypass that defensive anomaly by taking a shortcut."

"..."

The problem is that according to the information provided by Aquarius, if you want to deal with the red-haired woman, you must first deal with her defensive anomalies, so all in all, what he said is equivalent to saying nothing.

After pondering the possible actions of Director Aquarius, Baishe still had no clue no matter how hard he thought. He could only frown and continue to ask:
"Then has he ever told you why he keeps an eye on the Virgin Branch? Shouldn't his ultimate goal be to replace Director Taurus and successfully ascend to the Watchtower Palace? What's the point of always keeping an eye on that woman in the Virgin Branch?"

"He did say that."

After thinking for a moment, the Crow Mask replied:

"What he meant was that even if no one from the Twelve Zodiac Branch Office went, when Taurus ascended to the throne, there would be three directors protecting him. We would definitely have no chance if we attacked head-on, so we had to think of some other way."

"He still hasn't told you a word about what this 'other method' is. We still only know that he will target the Virgin Branch, right?"

"Um……"

"..."

It doesn't matter if we can't get the answer. Anyway, Director Aquarius is not on the same page with us, and his goals are completely different from those of the King-Slaying Society. Let him do whatever he wants, as long as he remains hostile to the Cleanup Bureau.

"Thrush."

Just as the white snake shook his head helplessly, the black cat who was listening suddenly called out and then asked:
"You told us before that Aquarius told you that he had found a way to deal with the Virgin Branch and was just waiting for Leon to return... What did this sentence mean?"

"what?"

The thrush was slightly startled when he heard this, and then asked in surprise:

"Is there anything wrong with this sentence?"

"No, there is something to that."

After the black cat's questioning, the white snake in the main seat seemed to understand something, and said thoughtfully:

"From a literal sense, he has a grudge against Leon, and plans to catch Leon and the entire Virgin Branch in one fell swoop after Leon returns to the capital. But if you think about it more carefully, there is actually another possibility...

Maybe that Leon himself is part of his plan to deal with the Virgin Branch. Only after that Leon returns to the capital can his plan be implemented!"

……

"Ah sneeze!!!"

After a huge sneeze, Leon, whose nose was itchy for some reason, couldn't help but rub his nose with his hand, and then couldn't help but complain in a low voice:

"It's past the expected time, right? Why hasn't Director Edward woken up yet?"

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

After hearing Leon's complaint, the emerald-eyed girl who was kneeling next to Director Scorpio turned around and said apologetically:

"The director's soul has been severely traumatized and has been thrown into a mess. It will probably take some time for his soul to recover."

"Mona is right."

At this time, another young man with green eyes nodded, then quickly ripened two sunflowers, took out the seeds from them, and handed them to Leon eagerly.

"If you get bored waiting, you can eat some sunflower seeds first... Don't worry, this black sunflower is a specialty of our Kingdom of Alesund. It's delicious even if you eat it raw without frying it."

"Ah, thank you, Reuben-senpai."

Unexpectedly, someone heard what he was mumbling quietly. Leon smiled a little embarrassedly, thanked him, took the shiny black melon seeds, and explained with a hint of apology:

"I'm not blaming Director Edward. The main reason is that the 1.3 million people in the Kingdom of Korok are still waiting to be resettled, and the only anomaly that can contact the General Administration is in Director Edward's hands, so I've been a little impatient waiting. Sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay. I understand."

Reuben's attitude towards Leon was extremely good, as he had rescued himself from the dead, almost single-handedly turned around a completely failed mission, and even saved the machines in Area 1 and helped him get a new body.

As if afraid that Leon would get thirsty from eating melon seeds, Reuben activated his anomaly again, ripening a strange bush. Then he picked up the coconut-like fruit on the bush, smashed it open, and handed the juicy flesh to Leon, then said with a smile:

"As for the issue of these 1.3 million people, you don't have to worry too much. Before their souls were spit out by you, we relied on the 60 Lyon points as a foundation to ripen more than 50 acres of banana trees and coconut groves in one go. Even if they eat as much as they want, they can still eat for more than a week.

And Frankie has already taken people to the harbor to fish. His level in this area can still be trusted. Even if Director Edward falls into a long sleep, these 1.3 million people will be fine."

"Frankie-senpai is so powerful?"

After hearing Reuben's assurance, Leon couldn't help but wonder:

"Can he catch enough fish to feed 1.3 million people? Are there that many fish around here?"

"No, no, you misunderstood."

The emerald-eyed boy waved his hand and explained with a smile, "It is my job to feed these people. Frankie is responsible for getting some other necessary supplies, such as cotton-padded clothes to keep warm, medicines to treat illnesses, tents to shelter from the wind and rain, and so on."

"Ah? These can be caught as well?"

“He can catch anything except fish.”

"..."

Good man, this is indeed something a fisherman can do...

"Haha, Frankie's abilities are always very useful at times like this."

Looking at the speechless Leon in front of him, Reuben explained with a smile:
"In our Alesund Kingdom's warehouse, there is a small pond anomaly that belongs to him. With the effect of that [Irrational Pond], as long as the consumption of Leon Points can hold up, he can take any supplies from the Kingdom's warehouse at will."

I see……

After nodding with an understanding look on his face, Leon, full of curiosity, was about to ask again when he heard a surprised shout from behind him.

"Chief? Come quickly! Chief Edward is awake!"

Finally woke up!

Hearing the call of the female cleaner Mona, Leon and the other man who were chatting happily looked happy, quickly put away the melon seeds in their hands, and hurried over.

After the initial trance, Director Scorpio's eyes immediately regained their sharpness. He stared at the happy emerald-eyed girl beside him, then asked hesitantly:

"Filia...are you Mona? Why are you like this?"

"Yes, yes! I'm Mona!"

Seeing that Chief Edward recognized her immediately, the cleaner Mona nodded happily and began to explain:

"Our original bodies were destroyed, and we didn't have time to cultivate them bit by bit, so we could only use the original parameters of the machine and slightly adjust them according to the appearance of the Crook royal family, so they look different from before."

After explaining the reason for her change in appearance, the female cleaner Mona said excitedly:
"Director! You're finally awake! After you fell unconscious, many things happened, and even the people from the King-Slaying Society came over.

Fortunately, there was Lord Lyon. He defeated Prince Andrei and saved the bloodline of the Korok royal family. He then persuaded him to betray the King-Slaying Society and sent him to the realm of the dead... In short, our mission was successful!"

Mission...successful?
After listening to Mona's excited announcement, and looking at Leon and... the little green-eyed boy who was probably Reuben, the tense Director Scorpio couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, then stood up shakily.

"Thank you."

After pushing away the hand of the female cleaner Mona who wanted to support him, Director Scorpio, whose soul could not yet perfectly control his body, looked at Leon in front of him, who was energetic but could not hide his tired face, and whispered with a complicated expression:

"I'm so grateful for your help this time. If it weren't for you, not only would the mission fail, but Mona and I wouldn't have survived... I owe you one."

"You're welcome."

Leon smiled when he heard that.

"I am also one of the members carrying out this investigation mission. I don't owe you anything. This is what I should do."

"There is no right or wrong. Not only did you complete the mission, you also saved our lives. I owe you this!"

After replying stubbornly, Director Scorpio slowly stood up, then gritted his teeth and asked seriously:

"Where is Princess Felia now? And where are Frankie, Nicole, and Alger? Could it be that they are..."

"Don't worry, they are all fine."

Understanding what Director Scorpio was worried about, Leon said:

"Princess Filia is comforting the people of the Kingdom of Korok. Nicole and Alger are protecting her to prevent any further problems from happening. Senior Frankie just took some people fishing. It is estimated that they will not return from the harbor until they have caught enough supplies for 1.3 million people."

Phew...at least no one died...

When he heard that no one was dead, Director Scorpio's tense expression suddenly softened, and he began to be glad that he did not reject Director Sagittarius's suggestion before, but instead brought Leon here.

But when he heard where Frankie was going and what he was going to do, an indescribable fear, accompanied by a chill that penetrated his heart, suddenly rushed up from his tailbone, causing him to stammer and ask:

"Why...why did you fish for so many supplies? And...and didn't you complete the mission and save the Korok royal family?"

"This one……"

After looking at Director Scorpio's surging soul with worry, Leon couldn't help but smile, and then hesitantly said:

"I did save the royal family, but... uh... the Kingdom of Korok is gone."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Chief! Chief, what's wrong with you? Chief, don't lie down!"
