“Ennis… It seems there were others who saw you fighting.”

Szilard questioned her. According to the knowledge he’d absorbed from Scott, Ennis had appeared while the little gang was attacking a couple.

“Yes. I thought more people might gather if I simply stood by and watched.”

On the spur of the moment, Ennis lied.

“What happened to the couple?”

“They seem to have left immediately. I did check, and there were no signs that I was followed.”

“I see… That shouldn’t be a problem, then.”

“No, sir.”

Still expressionless, Szilard gave Ennis her next orders:

“Well, then… The finished product is in the hideout of a Mafia group known as the Gandors. It would be unfortunate if we attempted to negotiate and ended up leaking our information to them. Threaten those three… Or, no, tell them we’ll give them a reward of some sort, and have them steal it back. Is that clear?”

“Yes, sir. Only, their companion has just been killed… Do you think they’ll do it?”

“There’s no need to worry about that. According to the memories I just ‘ate,’ that lot values personal interest over friendship and the like. If we say we’ll spare their lives and give them money, I expect they’ll work with a particular will.”

Tapping his own temple lightly with a finger, Szilard grinned.

“In any case, once they learn their bodies have been made immortal—even if it is an inferior immortality—they’ll be so moved they’ll forget about their friend on the spot. In other words, that’s the sort of men they are. There will be no problems.”

“…No, sir.”

Giving a mechanical bow, Ennis hurried from the room.

The old men—who had been watching—shrieked.

“Master Szilard!”

“Th-then that injection really was…the incomplete product…”

“Why would you bestow it on those vulgar ruffians…?!”

“Quiet.”

“…………”

One glance from Szilard, and silence fell as if by magic.

“Never fear. This may turn into a fight with the Mafia, that’s all. I’ve only made tools for us to use in the event that it does. Once this business is finished, I plan to ‘eat’ them immediately. …Or do you have the physical strength to win an all-out war with a gang? If so, I’ll just have you do it.”

The old men said nothing more.
