Quick Transmigration: Goddess Of My Imagination
Chapter 611 - Hire A DetectiveChapter 611 - Hire A Detective
Eun-Hee considered her decision for a moment in mind. If she refuses this client's request, she may end up earning a bad reputation in the first step of her career. Not to mention, her hateful seniors might mock her and make her life difficult.
She knew that many envied her, and she couldn't just give them a chance. Other than that, these two stunning foreign girls looked quite innocent, and her hunch didn't warn her of anything.
On top of that, this simple request also has a fairly high fee for just a simple thing. And again, there was a request for an extra case investigation service!
"Very well... I'm fine being a translator for you, but I still need to hear more details from you. So, what kind of case investigation do you want me to do?" Eun-Hee put her hands on the table with a professional smile.
"Good." Elysia nodded and put the four photos on the table.
Eun-Hee, Sylvia, and Vanessa looked at the photos with a different kind of curiosity. It was a photo of a girl, a building, the bigger building, and a picture of a signboard.
"!?" Eun-Hee gasped to see the last photo. She immediately looked at Elysia in astonishment. "You want me to investigate the Martial Association? Sorry in advance, but it seems the case you have is quite complicated, and I-"
Elysia raised her finger to interrupt. "Please don't jump to conclusions so quickly. You haven't heard anything from me."
"Ooh, um, you're right." Eun-Hee smiled awkwardly as she realized that she was behaving unprofessionally.
"I originally wanted to ask someone else for help, but you turned out to be a detective. So, I want you to handle this case. Okay, let's start with the first photo. This woman's name is Yokouchi Ringo, her mother is from Korea and her father is from South Korea. Japan--" Elysia then explained a bit about the first three photos to Eun-Hee.
The first one was a woman who bitterly betrayed Ali six years ago. The next photo was Ali Company, Ali's business in Japan that once belonged to him. The other was the company involved in bringing down Ali's career there.
"I see... So, Ali Company, huh. This case needs quite a bit of investigation because it's an old case. Can I know about your involvement with Ali Avery? And, what do you expect in this case?" Eun-Hee stroked her chin while processing the explanation she had just received.

I don't expect to do anything, and you just need to find the latest information on these three things. I want to know who was involved with this woman, all kinds of information about her. And lastly, please seek information about the Esper Association, otherwise known publicly as the Martial Association." Elysia gave another additional explanation with a relaxed expression.
"Umm, alright. So, it's all just an investigation for information, hmm. But, the Martial Association is a bit tricky, Miss Elysia. Why do you want information about them?" Eun-Hee nodded in understanding, but she still had confusion and doubts.
"I heard about them some time ago, and wanted to find out about them. I can't find any information on my own without the help of an expert in this field. You are an ability user yourself, are you perhaps involved with them? What do you know about Martial? This association?" Elysia stared deeply into Eun-Hee's black eyes.
Elena just reminded Elysia that this girl was an ability user. Elysia also could easily confirm that by looking at Eun-Hee's status screen.
"!!!" Eun-Hee was alarmed. She had hidden her true identity very well, but this girl was able to find out that easily!? Even so, she still kept her cool. "What makes you think so, Miss Elysia?"
"You are a detective and a rank three esper involved with the Martial Association as well, right? It is common knowledge for people with special powers to know about the Martial Association. So, could you share some basic information about them?" Elysia got straight to the point.
"Err... Could it be that we've met somewhere before but I failed to notice you? Are you an ability user too?" Eun-Hee heaved a subtle sigh as she realized that it was pointless to play secret identity anymore.
"This is our first meeting, and yes, but we're from Japan and have only been involved with them recently." Elysia nodded slightly.
"I understand, so I don't need to bear any sanctions because this is only sharing information with fellow ability users from abroad. But, I can't give out any confidential information about the Martial Association, okay?" Eun-Hee heaved a sigh of relief in mind.
"Mm, I know you can't access any classified information from there even if you wanted to." Elysia smiled innocently.
"Uuu..." Eun-Hee received a critical hit as that was completely true. She had no authority for that.
She then took the four photos and put them in her handbag after telling her to dig up the information later.
"We will only be in South Korea until tomorrow night. So, please finish everything by tomorrow morning, Miss Eun-Hee." Elysia dropped a very cruel deadline bomb.
Eun-Hee paled a little. "Tomorrow, tomorrow morning?"
"Yup, thanks for your extra service~ You just need to mention the value I need to pay you." Elysia nodded slightly.
"..." Eun-Hee took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She did need money, but she seemed to need to sacrifice two days of sleep for this job.

"..." Eun-Hee took a deep breath and let it out slowly. She did need money, but she seemed to need to sacrifice two days of sleep for this job.
"Well, if you add up the total work of one day and two nights and the investigation of four types of information... That's three million five hundred thousand won." Eun-Hee marked up the price, but her client didn't mind at all. She even received two thousand dollars upfront.
"Mm, yes, I am waiting for you, Miss Eun-Hee. You will meet us at Avani Central Busan Hotel tomorrow morning. You better not disappoint me." Elysia smiled happily to solve everything with just one person's help.
"My professionalism is at stake here. Please leave everything to me." Eun-Hee put her hand on her upper chest.
A while later, Elysia's order came, and Eun-Hee just watched two girls and a cat having dinner. She was offered to have dinner as well, but she politely declined.
After finishing dinner, Eun-Hee decided to leave immediately to complete her task. "I'd better go now to gather all the information you want, Miss Elysia."
"Okay, we won't hold you back any longer. Please come to meet us tomorrow morning with the report, or we will knock on your door. Besides the inspector, you are also our translator for tomorrow, okay?" Elysia smiled faintly and closed her eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEun-Hee just nodded in understanding. She felt it was more of a threat than a reminder for some reason. She did not know what would await her if she failed to complete this investigative task.
After Eun-Hee left, Elysia paid the bill. She and Sylvia then left the cafe.
"Ely~" Sylvia suddenly called out between her hums. She was walking towards the hotel with Elysia, but she had other ideas.
"Yes, is something wrong, Sylvi?" Elysia looked to the side in wonder.
"Let's take a short evening walk before returning to rest. Not shopping or buying anything, just a walk." Sylvia rubbed her hands together as if she was expecting something exciting.
Elysia could notice that, but she had another concern. "Fine, but we're wearing masks, okay?"
"Ah, there's no need. We're just going for a walk like this." Sylvia put her hand on Elysia's arm.
"But what if thugs or bad guys come to bother us? They'll see us as two delicious bunnies." Elysia shook her head. Prevention was better, after all.
"Let them come and bother us then. I'll show you how to get out of trouble easily if you want. Oh, hm, we can pretend to expect a justice-enforcement hero to save the day too, hehe... That would be fun, and I can see it. Isn't it like that, Vann?" Sylvia chuckled and petted the cute white cat.
Vanessa decided not to answer. She would go with her master and protect her master from any threat.
'Wow, that sounds fun. Let's follow the idea of our demonic dragon girl, Ely. She seemed to have an interesting plan to see. Ah, we might see our Ely forced to take decisive action when she's in a pinch, Rhea.' Elena voiced her agreement.
Rhea didn't say anything, but she just smiled tenderly in silent approval.
Elysia scratched her head slightly and ended up relenting. She agreed to follow the devil girl for a night walk even though she knew they would invite nothing but trouble.
Two girls and a cat took a stroll through Busan City to see the glittering metropolis downtown area. Some men looked at them like hungry wolves, but they were just engrossed in their sightseeing and small talk.
Troubles were clearly approaching, but Sylvia anticipated it nonetheless.
