I'm just an information dealer

The miserable screaming Lan Po almost threw the potion in her hand, but fortunately she caught it in time, otherwise the five kilometers around would be filled with poisonous fog.

After solving an imminent biohazard, Lan Du heaved a sigh of relief, and then looked at Argo who picked up the phone with displeasure.

"Can't you change your ringtone?!"

"I think it sounds pretty good. It's so loud that it's very suitable for reminding the time there."

Argo looked at the person and raised his eyebrows in surprise, it was this guy.

"But it would make one think there was a murder!"

Under Lan Po's complaints, Argo answered the phone.

"Hey~ what's the matter...so...what are you talking about... ..........Okay, I'll be there right away."

Argo put away the phone, raised his head and said to Lan Po:

"Sorry, a friend is looking for me, so I left first."

"Walk slowly, the cake will be sent to the bar later."

Lan Po nodded, then picked up the potion and prepared to start working.

And Argo was also about to leave the laboratory, but before that, Blue Poison stopped her again.

"So, what exactly did you bring back yesterday?"

Turning his head, he saw Lan Du looking at her with curiosity on his face.

In this regard, Argo showed a happy smile to Lan Poison, and then replied:

"It's a lively but noisy little praying mantis~"

 ………Separators………

On the streets in the urban area, passers-by are walking back and forth, and the noisy environment is a daily occurrence here.

And in a certain alley, a figure was lurking in the shadows, looking around nervously.

It was a boy with short black hair, wearing a simple black coat, carrying a black side backpack, and his delicate and neutral face was full of anxiety.

Although he didn't want to trouble that guy, the situation is very critical now, and he has been out of contact for three days, and he is very upset inside.

Waiting in the alley, the boy kept waiting for his friend to arrive, and he could only ask that guy for any information.

It's just...... The boy looked at his watch, and the appointed time had already arrived, but the other party hadn't shown up yet.

After looking around, there was no sign of anyone, so the boy came to the entrance of the alley and looked around.

"Why hasn't Argonaut appeared..."

"Are you looking for me?"

Suddenly a voice sounded from behind, and when the boy was startled, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"As expected of a "mouse", it is still elusive. "

"Because stealth and eyesight are my important business tools. Your skills, which are not even considered amateurs, are ten years too early for you to find me~"

The visitor poked the young man on the cheek, and the young man turned his head, only to see a smiling girl appearing in the empty alley behind him.

"So even if you praise me, I still won't give you a discount."

Argo smiled, and then asked the boy with a teasing look:

"Then what do you want from me? Brother Kirito~"

Volume 9 Intelligence Agent and Protagonist: Chapter [-] Kirito and Asuna

"So~ what do you want from me?"

"Argo, I want to ask you to help me investigate something!"

Unlike Argo's smiling face, Kiritani Kazuto looked at Argo very seriously.

"It's rare to see your face, tell me."

"Help me find the trace of Asuna."

I don't know if it was Kiritani Kazuto's illusion, but when he mentioned Asuna, Argo's body seemed to froze.

"Ah...... what do you need from Xiaoya?"

"What do you mean by this, you are well-informed, it is impossible for you not to know."

Kirito felt a little puzzled. Although this matter had not been revealed to the outside world, she would not be unclear with Argo's personality.

So Kirito asked with a doubtful tone:

"You don't know... Asuna was kidnapped?"

"How is it possible, I am also an information teller anyway, how could I not know, it's just..."

Argo stroked his chin in thought, wondering whether to tell Kirito the matter.

"Well, let me ask how much you know first."

"I know that Asuna was kidnapped by a mafia gang three days ago. The purpose of the other party is to get Asuna's father, Akizo Yuki, to agree to hand over the confidential information of his company."

Although it was unclear why Argo asked himself suddenly, Kirito answered everything he knew.

"That's right, as stupid as it is, kidnapping is usually the stupidest and most effective and direct way to achieve your goals."

Argo leaned against the wall with his arms folded and looked at Kirito with a smile.

"But this method is very effective for underworld gangs, because this organization has its own people in both black and white, so it is even more difficult for the police to find them."

"I speculate that it's not just gangsters who are behind the scenes this time, because it's unlikely that an electronics manufacturer would have anything to do with gangsters."

Kirito thought, he felt that this matter was not simple.

"But that's not the point. The most important thing is Asuna's safety. I have lost contact with her for three days. I can't imagine how she was treated."

Kirito said anxiously while holding his head while Argo watched and shook his head.

As the saying goes, love can make people dizzy. After Kirito and Asuna met in the game, they fell in love after a series of events.

That indifferent and quiet black swordsman back then has become a strict wife in terms of love.

"Calm down, Xiaotong, have you visited Xiaoya's father?"

"Actually, I went to Zhangsan's father-in-law to discuss it not long ago, but they didn't panic too much, they just discussed the prisoner's purpose calmly."

After Kirito finished speaking, he looked at Argo.

"Not only that, I also think you are very calm, as if you are not worried about Asuna's safety at all."

Facing Kirito's suspicious gaze, Argo just turned his head calmly.

"With your personality, it's impossible to know that Asuna was kidnapped and not do anything. You should have done something long ago, but until now there has been no news about Asuna."

Kirito himself talked more and more, and finally even began to speculate about the whole process.

"And the appearance of Asuna's parents, Argo, you don't have anything to hide from me, do you?"

"According to my investigation, the gang has been wiped out for unknown reasons, but Asuna, who should have been kidnapped, has disappeared without a trace. If it wasn't for being captured by the murderer..."

"It means that she has escaped safely and was hidden by you."

【It’s really sharp, I reasoned it out myself before I said anything...】

Thinking that Argo was no longer hiding, she turned her head and said to Kirito.

"Well, I know Xiaoya's current situation, she has nothing to do now."

"Then where is she?"

"Don't worry, you know it, the premise for me to speak~"

After speaking, Argo showed a sly smile, and rubbed his index finger and thumb together.

"...you are a real profiteer."

Although he felt helpless, Kirito still took out his mobile phone and typed a few times on it, and it didn't take long for Argo to receive a message from his account.

"Thank you for your patronage, then please come with Kirito and me."

After receiving the money, Argo walked to the depths of the alley, and Kirito followed behind Argo.

"where are we going?"

"I'll drive you to the hospital where Xiaoya is now."

"Hospital?! Is she injured?!"

"No, she's alive and kicking, she's just helping me with my baby."

"ha!?"

 ……Separators………

After Argo drove Kirito to the hospital by bike, the two took the elevator upstairs.

"Speaking of which, Argo, you look about the same age as me. I didn't expect you to be able to ride a bicycle."

On the way to the elevator, Kirito looked at Argo and said in disbelief.

"Hey, don't look at me like this, I have some contacts."

Argo smiled and elbowed Tutong's arm. "

"But are you really 19?"

"That's what it says on the ID card."

"That's probably fake."

"Well...you guess?"

Here I want to say that although there are Kirito and Asuna in this world, and even their daughter Yui, there is no death SAO of Akihiko Kayaba.

Therefore, the process of the two meeting is also somewhat different. Kirito happened to run into Asuna who was at a loss for playing a game for the first time in his life while playing a virtual VR game.

Asuna followed the original book and secretly took her brother's game console to play. Although she met Kirito, she was scolded by her mother for it.

But even so, the two still fell in love as in the original book and became lovers. In order to make up for the two and their relationship, Argo didn't know how much effort it had in it.

At that time, Kirito was 14 years old, Asuna was 15 years old, and Argo was 15 years old. Two years later, the three of them are very close friends.

However, Argo started working as an intelligence agent at that time, so he also lied about his age and some identity data to the two of them. Up to now, Asuna still believes that Argo is her older sister.

But Kirito has always maintained a skeptical attitude, and he is also the only one who doubts Argo's true age so far.

It's just that Argo has had less contact with the two of them recently because of the work of the informant and hololive, but it's not bad, anyway, these two young couples also need their own space for two.

As for the following things, let's talk about it later. Now that the two of them have reached the desired floor, they walked out of the elevator and walked deep into the corridor.

"Speaking of which, you can be bold sometimes."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because every time I see you, you ride a different bike."

Although he was a little entangled in being brought here by Argo because he was too young to ride a bicycle, Kirito still noticed that Argo's motorcycle had changed again.

"It was this brand last time, and that model next time. You don't have a hobby of collecting motorcycles, do you?"

Kirito said with a smile, but Argo grabbed his shoulder immediately.

"Little Tong~"

Argo smiled "kindly", but the hand that grabbed Kirito's shoulder began to increase its strength.

"With your intelligence, you must know what not to say too much, right?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"I'm not a fan of collecting motorcycles. It's "forced" to ride different motorcycles, understand?"

"I got it, I got it! Stop grabbing!"

Letting go of Kirito's shoulders, Argo gave Kirito a blank look.

"I really don't understand how Xiaoya likes you like you, you're just a big piece of wood, you're like a fighter jet among pieces of wood."

"Asuna should have said this to you, and you have no right to say that about me."
