"D-Deep?" Lily felt embarrassed. "I was just being honest…"

"Well, you're right, everyone is doing everything they can." Rose sighed. "I am guessing it is still too early for stuff to begin getting really… messy, but trust me, it will get really messy as time goes on. It still early for now, but once months passes, or even a year… We might start seeing criminals using magic openly, developing countries being terrorized by super powered cartels or terrorist groups, and add monsters, gates, and possibly dungeons to that."

"Ugh… It looks grim now." Lily sighed.

"But if there was already magic and super powered people like you guys before, how come we've never seen criminals openly using these powers before?" Mark asked. "I mean, if they were strong enough, what stopped them?"

"Ah, well, there have been actually many incidents through history provoked due to battles between magicians or supernatural people." Sighed Rose. "But simply put, the government does a great job at covering it all up and making it seem as if it they are natural tragedies. As you can already tell, normal people can't see magic as it is, so they only see destruction when fights break on. And if some people without power somehow happen to find out…" Rose's eyes glowed bright red.

"D-Don't tell me you guys would…?" I asked, fearing the worst.

"Hahaha, it depends, but nah. Even the most strict families and agencies in other countries will simply use magic to delete these memories from people… But nothing more than that, outright killing civilians is not something they would do." Sighed Rose. "Of course, there are exceptions, but those exceptions are what we chase down and hunt." She smiled.

ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "The things that have yet to come are certainly worrying…" Mark sighed. "Well, for now, we should just talk about what we actually came here for, right?"

"Oh yeah!" Mark thankfully reminded me. "I… Well, I do have certain abilities that can help me craft magic items, as you can see." I said. "I was thinking on anonymously selling some of these products to SWORD."

"Oh?!" Rose felt suddenly excited. "Really?! Actually, there's a whole underworld "black market" where people can sell magic items and the like… Maybe through our connection, we could sell these products anonymously for you, how about it?"

"Is it possible?" I asked.

"Yeah! Though only agents or registered people can do this…" Rose said. "But I can do it for you, though, do you really trust me that much?"

"Well, it is more like that's what I want to believe." I sighed. "You don't seem like a bad person, Rose. And I helped you back then, and you helped me back as well… I want to trust you."

Rose raised her eyebrows, feeling taken aback.

"Ugh, fine… This would be weird back then, but now that magic stuff and people with powers are slowly being normalized, the Black Market is probably going to go public eventually, and I can see Hunters widely selling stuff too." She sighed. "I'll make a profile using my agency's account and… Here, I sent you a special app through Whatsapp, download it to join, I sent you the info to access this profile within our agency's account."

"So fast?! Is this okay? Is your boss not going to get mad?" I asked.

"Yeah, he won't?" Mark asked.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"I-I feel like we're messing around with stuff we shouldn't be messing around with!" Lily felt slightly afraid.

"Don't be such a coward, Lily." Rita crossed her arms.

"Nah, I already sent him a message and he swiftly approved of this, after all it can be a good opportunity to make some more equipment for our agency." Sighed Rose. "Recently we got a nice haul of materials from your hometown, and that giant skeleton's hand was really valuable too, enough that it can even satisfy the demon inside of Albert."

"I-I see… Okay then." I nodded. I had used Spirit Gaze to inspect Rose a bit… Whenever people is lying or has malicious intents, my eyes can tell as they exude a black or red aura.

However, Rose had a very welcoming green to blue aura, she was actually being genuinely nice. Maybe she's interested in our strength as allies and seeing a good opportunity to make money and help her agency.

I dislike being this cautious sometimes because it shows I don't totally trust her… But quite honestly, it had to be done.

"Yeah, she's a bit mysterious, and so the agency…" The Great Spirit said. "But they're actually good people, I remember seeing that Reagan's soul. He's very strong, but righteous, and nice. His soul and personality were similar to those of heroes from Arcadia, such as the Mushroom Hero, to an extent."

Even the Great Spirit seemed to have given a positive verdict to their trustworthiness, I suppose I can relax for a bit and make sure to take advantage of this new opportunity.

"Before putting anything, however, send me a message and some info about the products, so we can inspect them." Said Rose. "Sometimes we'll want to buy them ourselves, so you could give us this privilege of priority, how about it?"

"I suppose it is fair." I nodded. "But how exactly do I… send it to these people?"

"Oh, it comes included with the App, after all, this is a Magic App that has been created by a Wizard Organization in Britain." Rose smiled. "Once you use the account, you'll be able to transfer items inside the auction and also retrieve them through a space-time structure, it's really convenient! And it has already been approved as safe by every country that has been given access to this application."

"W-Wow… Is this what you would call Magic Amazon?" Wondered Mark.

"I-I guess that's the name I was trying to think about, hahaha…" I giggled a bit.

"Once you get back home you can check it out! For now let me show you the ins and outs of how this works…" Rose said.

Like that, we spent a good chunk of our time listening to her. And without realizing it, over two hours have gone by and we decided to swiftly go back home.
