Re:START/If {Book 1.0}
Chapter 25: Those who are called leaders 1 of 3 (Part 01)

The sun had already begun to rise, but the clouds that dotted the sky at the beginning of the year blocked its light and made the land still look gray. From inside the orphanage Odo came out, then walked in the yard and came out through the fence that was still open. At a glance looking back, the black hairdresser stared flat at the building interspersed with breaths.

“I think entrusting all that to them doesn't matter .... Well, anyway right now I have to deliver this to the leader of this city.”

The boy held a brown parchment paper in his hand, a letter of introduction that would be given to the Mayor before he submitted a plan proposal. He quickly put the parchment paper in his hand into his pocket, then thought back to what he had entrusted to Julia and Siska.

The boy asked the two men to share the letters that have been made and will be sent to the names of traders and agencies that Odo has listed on each letter. The black haired child does not target all agencies in Luke County, he said, He only spread patterned using the data list of agencies that he considered vital in the crucial moment of the Kingdom of Felixia which will now experience power shock after the death of the Queen.

Odo turned around and started walking away from the port area. While stepping foot with a lazy gaze over the snow-covered stone path, the boy muttered, “Haah, hopefully they finish putting in those letters and writing the name of the destination before I get back ... Well, if I can't get approval from Mayor Mylta all will be free too.” His gaze narrowed even more, looking unhappy with what he was doing.

He initially intended to ask Siska to be a meeting intermediary. But when he found out that the religious port city with the government in the place was not too close and even tenuous, Odo decided to choose to submit his own proposal cover letter.

Returning to what Siska said like, “The government is not too close to the religious side, they do not even provide assistance to the church. The port city government tends to help its residents directly for several reasons and the viewpoint of the ruler,” Odo can immediately understand this. However, from that he had to change some of the plot because there is no relation that can be used again.

The Mylta City government is now weakening due to a drastic decline in economic levels due to the severing of trade routes in the past decade. Because the level of confidence decreases drastically due to changes in economic conditions that begin to fall, the, so they chose to stop the aid on the religious side for fear of the threat of getting stronger and will exceed the confidence of the population in the city government.

“It's reasonable ..., it makes sense ..., very logical. But .., honestly they don't know that such thinking is not perfect for dealing with this kind of problem. Humans are not all moving in a common sense, they tend to act following their hearts and desires, especially in desperate or depressed situations.

Walking long enough, finally Odo arrived at the city hall area which is where the establishment of government agency buildings. Around the hall is a partially frozen artificial lake, snow-covered trees and a fountain where the water freezes to form a shiny crystal in the middle of the place.

Built by surrounding the city, existing agency buildings are indeed more magnificent than other resident buildings. All of these buildings have an average of four floors, built of solid teak wood and combined with large rocks that are formed into bricks and used for walls.

Standing in front of a building with a signboard “Head Office” on its doorstep, Odo momentarily came to a halt and hesitated to enter. In addition to a little shame into the building that he did not know, there is also a sense of laziness to compile words to convince the Mayor of the proposal that he will submit.

“Tomorrow .... Auto Senses, do you have any settings to get through this on auto? Honestly I'm so lazy ...,” Odo's mind.

“Of course there is, but surely the result is not to your liking, o myself,” the last sound of defensive magic reverberates in his head.

“There is, your development is really practical, yes. Is that you took from my thought data?”

“Eh ..., your back ..... Behind you!”

“Hah? What was? Aran—Eh?”

Odo turned around and was immediately surprised to see someone standing behind him. As he was busy talking to himself with his last defensive magic, someone without him had already stood up for quite a while and looked at him with blood red eyes.

The wavy red-haired woman gave a flat look, putting on a haughty expression with a slight puffing of her chest. Although the woman looks mature by wearing a black dress that is slightly exposed and shows off her pale skin, but clearly Odo knew that the woman was still around a dozen years old when observing her very young face.

Leaning slightly to the side and raising her chin, the red-haired woman said, “What are you Mr Odo Luke? If it is true, then you are indeed a fool ..., why can a person like you be the son of Mr. Dart and Master Mavis?” His words did not bother Odo, but there was one word that made the boy a little interested.

“Master? Why do you call my mother Master .... More ..., who are you?”

Odo narrowed his gaze. In the child's memory there was absolutely no information about the woman who suddenly gossiped about him. Sighing slightly, the black hairdresser realized something that might be related about the woman.

Before Odo asked again, the woman said, “You, yes .... You are so impolite, did you not get the education of manners and the authority of nobility? Though the son of a Marquess, but you this really ... do not know profit.”

The woman's words this time really made the emotional weir of Odo bobble. He stopped narrowing his eyes and looked down, then walked up to the woman who was taller than him. Standing in front of the woman with red hair, Odo immediately extended his hand to the woman's neck.

At once the woman's hair was goosebumps before Odo touched it. The fear, horror, and self-awareness that the figure before him was far superior made him step back trembling.

“Hmm, what's up? Why are you stepping back?” asked Odo, looking down at the woman. Slightly taking a deep breath, the boy muttered, “Delete.” He immediately put on a rama face and eliminate the desire to kill him that emanated strongly. Even so, the red-haired woman did not stop shaking. He really realized that he was wrong to choose people to be invited to a storm.

“So who are you? Who is this man of no manners and suddenly scolded me?” asked Odo while slightly tilting his head and staring flatly.

The woman was silent in fear. When Odo asked back, “You who?” the woman's body trembled and she replied with fear, “Sa-I Lisiathus Mylta ..” Odo was known by her surname, Mylta was the name of the Coastal City and was the name of the noble family that controlled the city where Odo now stands.

“Oh, are you Mr Argo's son?”

“Ya ..”.

Seeing that the woman had completely lost the arrogant and arrogant mannerisms displayed earlier, Odo felt a little guilty for scaring her. In the perception of black hair, pride is not a wrong thing, pride is one of the valuable emotions, worth maintaining.

“Well, if a lion lost his pride will only stay a cat. Looks like I did something unnecessary ..” Odo's mind.

“You better not press that woman again .... It could be that the nature and personality of the girl will be destroyed because what she thinks is really denied by your existence. You know, those nobles are arrogant enough to live with their arrogance,” Auto Senses said in Odo's head.

“Yeah, I think it's still good because it's the first time I've seen you. If because of this he became a grudge against me, it could be serious too, anyway ..”.

Stretching his palm forward in an open position upward, the boy said, “You need not fear me like that, Miss Lisia. I also know about manners .... You didn't introduce yourself first and said like that, I just replied to Miss.”'s rude treatment

“Sa-I'm sorry for this disrespectful act. Su-Really .., I just want to know the personality of the Dragon Killer.”

Seeing the woman bowing her body and apologizing, Odo just stared flat with his dark blue eyes. That is not to say Odo immediately believed the words of Lisia, but seeing others bow down like that was one of the pleasures for the child.

A dark smile appeared on his face. As Lisia raised her head again and stopped looking down, immediately Odo put on a flat expression and smiled knotfully. “By the way, why did you know that I was Odo Luke?” asked the black hairdresser kindly.

“Of course from the letter you showed to the guard at the entrance gate. They reported that someone from the Mansion where the Marquess lived came with a central government letter. When I saw you standing in front of the building, I immediately knew that you were the person ...”

“Hmm, am I that famous?”

“Of course .... Although not all residents of this city know your face, but at least the characteristics of your black hair are very striking. Luke's family hasn't always been as jet-black as you?” Lisia raised her right index finger, then again said, “Well, even though it was said that the late Mr. Griad had brown hair, anyway. But, it is also dark color.”

Odo just found out about that fact. He has no surviving relatives, and the pure lineage of the Luke Family is only him and his father. Because of this, Odo did not know that Luke's descendants were always born with black hair. Archives that are the mainstay of information sources also do not include body profile information such as hair color.

“Hmm, so from that Miss mocked me?” asked Odo in a joking tone.

“Bu-Not like that! I just want to know what your nature is like .... That's from the procedure bernegosia— I mean, many people are grateful that you finished off the Black Dragon and stopped the possibility of the third Astral World expedition and so on ..... I am ...”

At first glance Odo smiled lightly at the nervous behavior of the woman. Turning his eyeball slightly to the left, the boy realized that the woman before him was not as good as he had thought at the beginning.

“Ah, so it seems.” Odo nodded in understanding. But in reality, he doesn't care much about it. Breathing lightly, he asked, “Oh, yes. If possible, can I meet Mr Argo, Miss?”

“Dad, yes .... He ... can't leave now and is still at home. The cold made my father sick, which is why I am here to take care of some work that I can finish ..”

“Sick ..?”

Hearing these words, Odo realized that the woman in front of him strangely wore a skimpy dress and opened in the cold. That's very awkward. Although Odo himself was wearing thin clothes now, but seeing the red-haired woman also wearing open clothes was very surprising.

“Eng ..., by the way ..., what is Miss Fire attribute magic user?” ask Odo.

“Ya ..., more or less so ...” The red-haired woman smiled faintly. Slightly looking away, he looked towards the office building behind Odo.

“Mr Odo .., if you want to talk, we should go in first. Talking about important things with the Ombudsman outside like this I think there is less security,” continued the woman while staring at Odo lightly.

“Ombusdman?” Odo slightly raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

“Ya ..., you are a government official who came to check the condition of this city, right? You are a representative of the community field, ‘kan?”

Getting such questions Odo understood why he was considered a government official. The letter he had shown to the gatekeeper earlier actually made a huge misunderstanding, the existing stamp actually functioned effectively more than the black-haired boy had expected.

“Not .., I am not an official from the central government, Miss. I came here just to submit some proposals,” Odo said. The boy put on a friendly smile and hoped not to ruin the atmosphere.

“Not? Hmm, were the reports of the guards wrong? But ..., said there Shieal come with you to this city?” murmured Lisia while holding her chin with her right hand and slightly bowing her head.

“Eh? What does the Obudsman have to do with Sheial?” ask Odo curiously.

“Of course there is .... They .., the Main Servants who worked in the residence of Marquess Luke had equal and even higher authority than the government officials. Is there no government structure? After the Marquess and his wife, their new Shieal holds high authority as well...”.

“Eeeh? His servant of authority is higher than the official? Just found out I ...,” Odo thought, he slightly thinned his smile and looked like he wanted to be surprised. Taking a deep breath, he calmed down and digested that other shocking fact. “Yeah, obviously they look too high upheld the title of Branch Family ..., so this is the reason,” the child's mind while slightly rolling his eyeballs to the side.

“Said Mr Odo earlier, you want to submit a proposal? What is the proposal for?” ask Lisia.

“Hmmm, the .... I want to overhaul this city massively ...”.

“Eh ...?” Lisia was really shocked at being confused at the words. Indeed, the child in front of him did not have such authority to make a reshuffle or anything like that. But when he saw Odo take out a parchment paper and showed himself, Lisia could only gape because it was already stamped by the central government of Luke County

“Then let's go inside and talk about this. Take it easy, I assure you that the government of this city and the Mylta family have not had any adverse effects .... Well, in fact I will guarantee you guys will definitely get a lot of profit in this city ...”

Rolling back the paper in his hand, the black hairdo smiled with a flat expression full of plan. After that, the two men entered the building of the city's Central Office for some talks.
