Chapter 15: Mysterious Assassin - Sudden Rain
Marianne, who had returned to her cabin, collapsed onto the bed out of exhaustion and fell fast asleep.
"...It's typical of Marianne, or rather, it's not like her... Well, her way of sleeping, I mean."
Marianne was sleeping in a way that didn't seem like that of a noble lady.
Aelusdro felt that if he mentioned it to her, he would undoubtedly be shot, but for now, she was asleep, so he was safe.
"Well, forget it I should go to sleep soon too."
Saying that, Aelusdro slept beside Marianne.
"...Ah, as I thought... It's soft... Even though she tries to be strong... she's still a woman."
I won't reveal where Aelusdro was touching Marianne. Moreover, if I were to reveal it, there would be age restrictions...
The next day.
"Good morning. Are you feeling refreshed?"
"Ah, good morning."
Rudolf and Ellie entered the cabin where Aelusdro and Marianne were. Aelusdro had already been awake for a while, but Marianne was still asleep.
"Why doesn't she wake up at this hour? Breakfast has been ready for a long time."
"She stayed up all night solving the anomaly with me. Marianne is human, so she must be very tired. That's why I want to let her sleep a bit longer."
"Understood. I'll let Farna know."
"Good job yesterday, Aelusdro. You did well."
Farna praised Aelusdro while eating German potato for breakfast.
"I couldn't have solved this anomaly on my own. Can you praise Marianne too?"
"Ah, she's been sleeping the whole time, right? That alone proves how hard she worked. Of course, I'll praise her."
"Thank you."
Saying that, Aelusdro took a bite of the butter sautéed vegetables.
"Aelusdro, Farna! Did you save my portion properly?"
"Oh, Marianne-chan. Good morning."
Finally feeling refreshed, Marianne woke up and came to the dining table.
"I thought as a noble lady, you would have someone wake you up. But it seems like you woke up on your own."
"...Did you say something?"
"Stop pointing the gun, it hurts those around you."
Marianne aimed her gun at Aelusdro with a smile on her face. (Note: Marianne's eyes aren't smiling.)
Aelusdro, sweating nervously, tried to stop Marianne.
"Well, they say you can't fight on an empty stomach. Let's stop this ugly fight and have a meal, shall we?"
After putting away her gun, Marianne started eating the German potato.
"Both of you did well. You can rest and take it easy today. Let someone else take care of monster hunting."
"Thank you."
"Farna, you're truly a talented individual!"
"Hehe, thanks."
Aelusdro and Marianne decided to take advantage of Farna's words and rest peacefully.
By the way, Miro and Yumir can survive without eating, so they didn't come here.
Meanwhile, outside the forest in the Nagal region, an assassin with green hair, red eyes, and dressed in black attire was fighting monsters with two short daggers.
The assassin had cat ears and a tail, revealing that they were beastman.
"I'll slice you apart... Wide Attack!"
The assassin swiftly charged forward and flashed their two short daggers, decimating the horde of monsters.
Though not all the monsters were annihilated, causing the assassin to click their tongue.
"...Too slow."
The assassin gracefully evaded the attacking monsters and once again flashed their daggers, effortlessly annihilating the remaining monsters.
"Those who interfere are fated to disappear before me."
Saying that, the assassin sheathed their daggers and headed towards the Nagal region.
"Well then, I'll go outside to get some fresh air."
Rudolf intended to leave the Nagal region to breathe in the outside air.
"Oh, can I come along too?"
Ellie, Miro, and Yumir arrived there, wanting to accompany him.
Rudolf naturally agreed, and the four of them headed outside together.
"...Strange. I don't sense any animal presence around."
Rudolf looked around, but the silence was unusual for the morning. There were no animals moving about as usual, and even the fairies were nowhere to be seen. Despite the forest having been restored to peace thanks to Aelusdro and Marianne's efforts the previous day...
"It's incredibly quiet. I wonder why."
"...Could it be that a demon is here?"
"A demon...? But demons rarely come here..."
Just as Rudolf began to speak, a short dagger grazed his cheek, drawing blood.
"...Who's there? Show yourselves!"
Rudolf shouted in the direction where the dagger was thrown, and an assassin shot back with cold eyes.
The assassin swiftly retrieved the thrown dagger and held the other one, emanating a murderous intent towards them.
"Who are you? What's your business?"
"I am Shuu, a servant of His Excellency Hyuu. "
Shuu introduced himself with a cold expression. Yumir, who naturally didn't know who Hyuu was, looked bewildered.
"Is this Hyuu person your master?"
"That's right... For the sake of His Excellency Hyuu, I will make sure you all die here!"
After saying that, Shuu suddenly attacked. Ellie, enraged by Shuu's attack on Rudolf, confronted them.
"Stop it! Fanatic!"
Ellie borrowed the power of the Spirit of Courage to enhance Miro's attack capabilities.
"Ma-Gi-De-Popuru!"
"O Wind Spirit, unleash an invisible impact... Wind Blast!"
"It won't hit me."
After Yumir cast strengthening magic on Rudolf, Rudolf unleashed a blast of wind towards Shuu. Shuu jumped to avoid the attack, but Miro swooped in and tore into Shuu with his claws.
"What a hassle... But I will definitely kill you!"
Shuu sliced through Miro and the others with their two short daggers, their movements flowing like a dance.
"Uwaaaaah!"
"Kyaaaaah!"
Unable to find a way to counter Shuu's incredibly fast movements, Rudolf and the others continued to receive damage helplessly. Blood flowed from their bodies, staining Shuu's daggers, which he wiped clean.
"Seriously, even if it's an order from Hyuu, don’t you care who gets involved?!"
"Kill as many non-humans as possible... That's the order from His Excellency Hyuu."
"Looks like reasoning won't work after all... Then we have no choice but to take you down!"
Saying that, Yumir released a fireball from her staff, but Shuu evaded the attack and straddled Yumir.
"Shadow Sword...!"
"Guuuh!"
With a short dagger pierced into Yumir's neck, Yumir collapsed, meeting a temporary death.
"Yumir!"
"Who's next?"
Saying that, Shuu attacked Rudolf. But just before the dagger could pierce his neck, Ellie created a shield of light to block the attack.
"We don't want to die. So get out of here!"
Ellie attacked Shuu with a burst of light, but it didn't inflict much damage.
"I'll eliminate anyone who gets in my way."
"How ominous. Well, then you'll end up the same!"
Saying that, Miro pounced on Shuu. Shuu evaded her just as she was about to grab him, but that was exactly what Miro intended.
"Now! Render him powerless!"
"Understood... O Water Spirit, become an invisible mist and bring sleep to this person... Sleep Mist!"
As Rudolf chanted the spell, a watery mist enveloped Shuu, closing off his consciousness.
"Now... What should we do with this guy?"
Miro pondered how to deal with the unconscious Shuu.
"He did attack us suddenly, so he must be a bad guy... But since we've rendered him powerless, maybe we should do something. Oh, I know! Yumir!"
"Yes."
The battle was over, and Yumir, who had revived from her temporary death, went to where Miro was and looked at Shuu's face.
"Hey, what should we do with him?"
"Well... For now, should we take him to the cabin?"
"That seems like a good idea."
Saying that, Miro lifted the sleeping Shuu and headed towards the direction of the cabin.
