Hunter of the Perished World

“Here comes the savior. ”

“There you are!”

Meister's residence.

Seven masters each made three floors a dedicated residential area. Soon, the seven Mysteries were using three floors each of the Burj Khalifa.

Slaves belonging to each family alone outweighed a hundred people, and their security forces were equal.

The dwelling areas of the Meister Shimach Windil and of the Windil family were located at the highest of the dwelling areas. Height was a symbol of power, and so the Windil family was the most powerful of the Mysteries.

The home office had excellent mining and timeless artwork was everywhere. The windmill rises from the giant wooden table and approaches the couch. Rudrey Wyndrill, who was all dressed up, rushes to Leona, not looking like yesterday.

Rudrey shakes hands with Leona dressed, though not quite as herself.

“You're so beautiful! I knew you were cool when I saw you yesterday, but I never thought you'd be so beautiful! ”

Rudrey is reminded of Leona's transformation. Leona's face turns red and she can't even speak properly.

“Uh, uh... ”

“Rudrey, you're embarrassing me. ”

“Oh my gosh. Look at me. I'm sorry."

Rudrey bows. Leona hasn't seen many nobles, but Shimach Windil and Rudrey Windill don't seem very authoritarian.

It was very different from Lajon, who was a hardworking nobleman. But at the same time, I had another idea.

In the case of Raqen, who became a commoner, it is inevitable, and perhaps the top noble and master of the Windille family does not need to make such an authority.

They are so powerful that they don't have to establish authority on their own that they can act authoritative.

That made Leona feel quite complicated.

‘I hope you don't get dirty. Let's think this through.'

Even if their desertion comes from their authority, that doesn't change the fact that it's good for Leona. Rudrey is pleased, and Leona is embarrassed at what she has to do.

Yesterday was a big day, but it was originally such a bright and lively personality.

“Rudrey, I need to talk to the man, so if you'll excuse me for a moment. ”

“Yes! But you have to let me talk to him, too? ”

“Of course, of course. ”

Shimach smiles favorably, and he looks at Raqen and says,

“Rachen, take Rudrey out. Wait for now.”

“Yes, Master. ”

“Come on, Rachael! ”

“Yes, ma'am. ”

Rudred takes Lajon by the hand and leaves the office, while Shimach gladly looks at him and sits on the couch. He gently pointed to the couch across the street.

“Have a seat.”

“I'm sorry, but I don't know the nobles' manners or anything like that, and I'm not good with respect. I'll apologize first. ”

Leona smiles as she smiles awkwardly.

“That's okay. Manners don't come from speech and discoloration, they come from the human mind. ”

“Ah…. Thank you, Mr. Myster. ”

“Hahaha! It's Mister. I've never heard of it. Interesting.”

“Are you upset?”

“No, no. It's okay.”

He didn't hide his smile because it was fun to hear the word uncle.

Leona carefully sits on the couch because she didn't think he would take her action quite so easily.

Rather, Leona's attitude is stiff as he comes out so soft. It was in a similar context to Ludrey's embarrassment to Leona.

Leona acted like a thorny beast in the wilderness with a high chance of encountering people full of enemies. It's the only way to survive. Leona was not difficult to deal with because everyone had lived rough.

But Leona was not accustomed to this kind of courtesy.

“I thank you for that. The Rudrey Windill you saved yesterday is my only daughter and heir to the family. I had no idea what kind of trouble I was going through at Shudha's hands. You are my savior, a savior of the Windile family, and a savior of the city of this tower at the same time as seven Mysters. ”

Mr. Shimach was clearly a character. I did not have any prejudice against Leona, who was a child to the common man.

“If there's anything I want, I'll do anything I can to help. ”

“I'm a hunter. ”

Shimach nods slowly, knowing it already.

“So chips are enough. ”

“If you give me 10, will that be enough? ”

Leona opened her eyes wide.

“Quite a price for one bullet. ”

It was more burdensome than transversal. He handed him a chip box containing exactly 10,000 chips, whether they had been prepared in advance. Leona grabs hold of it and realizes there's no pouch in her dress.

“Oh, I'll tell him to take care of it when he leaves the tower. ”

“Thank you.”

According to Leona, Shimach glanced at Leona quietly. She was as pale as anyone. If you insisted that you were a hunter like that, no one would believe you.

But Shimach Windil was looking at Leona's eyes.

Sleeping within those brown eyes, the beast had no doubt proved to be a hunter, taking everything from appearance to fine white arms and legs to a face.

The eyes of a beast that has hunted countless prey.

Shimach believed his eyes, which had seen so many people. That's why I can only assume that Leona is no ordinary hunter.

“Do you mind if I ask how this young girl lives as a hunter? ”

“A day or two with the weight of the world. Kill him if you don't want to die. I became a hunter naturally. ”

It will take a long time to explain and you won't believe it, so Leona went around a lot. And it was not a lie.

“I don't think I've been in the city of the tower long. ”

Leona doesn't know how to treat the nobles, and the tower itself is a stranger. Shimach notices that Leona has just arrived in the city of the tower.

“It's been three days. Seeing as I've been in here for the last three days, I think my luck's pretty good. ”

Leona grins. It was a nice smile, rather than attractive.

“Do you like chips? ”

Leona grins as if to ask you a rhetorical question.

“The only reliable thing. There's no reason to hate it. ”

A chip is a material that is an objective currency while also having an objective amount of energy. That is why there is no betrayal.

Shimach nods and adds to the truly huntery answer.

“How would you rate your skills objectively? ”

Leona smells it as she watches Shimach's words grow longer.

The smell of a quest.

And once you're a hunter, you have to leave without a job, and first you have to listen.

“It's not perfect. ”

Shimach nods slowly, as if to say the same. No matter how great you are, you're a hunter, not an adult. It's just a coincidence that you saved Rudrey Windill.

However, Leona added.

“But it's unique. ”

Shimach couldn't find a single crack in his confident smile.

“What is your main sport? ”

“Bounty hunting. ”

“Fair enough.”

Shimach nods, satisfied.

“Pay only, if the performance is satisfactory, extra work only. ”

“Fair enough.”

It was obvious that one of the rulers of the tower's cities offered a considerable amount.

“Let me listen to you. ”

“You're a hunter. ”

“That's right."

“Most recently I entered the city of this tower, so I don't know the laws and regulations of this city yet. ”

Shimach had a reason for making this offer to Leona.

Leona is a novice here, so she hasn't made any connections in the city yet. That's why Leona was perfect for Shimach.

In fact, she saved Rudy's life and didn't even know she was a nobleman.

“The search for Shudha has been going on for a long time. Now they're getting bolder, and they're making extreme choices to kidnap my daughter. However, it's difficult to get a lead on Shudha, even if you search the entire city like this. I caught a few of them, but literally, they didn't have the right information. ”

“... They're actually not that great, are they? Even the kidnappers I saw... There was only one.”

“I don't think so. When they kidnapped Rudrey, they organized a manhunt to cover my eyes with the guards. There's no way to tell who among the crowd was Shudha and who was a civilian at the charity event. They were scattered, and now they have no idea who was there. ”

Even those who ruled the city had a hard time catching clues.

“I searched the city like this. ”

“ ……. ”

“Except for one place. ”

Leona knew where it was.

“Nest?”

“Yes.”

Shimach grimaces his head in embarrassment.

“A hunter's nest is an extraterritorial territory, and it must be frictioned with hunters to investigate it by noble authority. No matter how big the city is, you can't go to war with hunters. ”

“Do you think one of the hunters is the key to Shudha? ”

“As you know, if a secret organization is created in the city of this tower, it's hard to find a better place than a nest. ”

Shimach stares at Leona with a firm expression. Nothing he said was wrong. A nest where nobles could not sneak in was the best place for such resistance and weakness.

“Find me a clue about Shudha in the Hunter's Nest. I don't even want to hunt, just information about the key figures. ”

That was Shimach's request.

“Of course, as hunters, what you're about to do is treason, and you won't get a good look if you get caught. ”

It was clear that they would face the worst death in the world. Even if there is no Shudha in the nest, most hunters would put a gun to Leona's head just by spying on her in her nest, a hunter's nest.

Even Leonara would have agreed to shoot if some hunter had done it in the nest.

High-risk missions always come with a high price. In that sense, Mr. Shimach's proposal was an honest request with considerable risk and substantial cost.

Hunters live like allies in nests, but ultimately it's funny to talk about loyalty among hunters.

While big city hunters perform dangerous tasks in pairs, most hunters are basically on their own.

At least Slatters get revenge for not mourning their comrades when they die.

In that sense, the hunters were more inhuman than slatters in some ways.

The other hunters will also make legitimate decisions about what Leona does, but they won't think it's their fault that they got the quest.

To Myster Shimach Windil, Leona is a hunter who has just arrived in the city of the tower, and that is why she was the only one worthy of a quest.

“What if I don't? ”

Leona glances at Shimach Windill with a cautious look.

“House Windhil does not take vengeance. Promise to return it quietly, and you can stay in the tower as long as you want. ”

Of course there is such power, Shimach Windill nods. Shimach Windil was the ruler of the city, but knew his honor and courtesy.

Leona also thought that Shimach Windill was worthy of respect.

It doesn't matter if you refuse, and Leona wasn't in a hurry right now.

So you don't have to take on such a dangerous quest.

“I have to think about it. ”

“I know it's hard to decide, so think about it slowly. ”

“Thank you, sir. ”

“Haha…. Once again, I want to thank you for rescuing Rudrey. ”

Shimach Windil smiles and smiles at Leonardo.

“If you'll excuse me, why don't you have a little chat with your daughter? ”

“I hope so.”

Leona happily said yes, and Shimach seemed pleased with her answer.

Leaving Myster's office, Leona was able to meet Rudrey, who was waiting for her in the reception room for tea.

“Did you talk well? ”

“Yes.”

Rudrey Windille was fifteen this year, a pretty girl with gorgeous blond, blonde eyes. A curious and innocent eye that seemed to have not lived through a lifetime of cruelty gave Leona a strange feeling.

I felt the same way when I met Sarah at Wargrave Fortress.

But no matter how much Sarah was Warlord's daughter, she wore the same clothes as all the other children, and had the same education.

I wasn't even dressed in fancy clothes like Rudrey Windill in front of me. This place may be less armed than Wargrave, but the luxury of life itself cannot be traced back to Wargrave.

“Have you eaten? ”

“No, not yet. ”

“Then let's eat together. I told you to prepare a meal in advance! ”

Leona smiles at you with a compliment on her face.

“Thank you.”

I headed downstairs to a family-only restaurant, but the luxury of Myster's residence did not stop for a moment. The light was illuminated in the hallway with a red rug, as well as in the daytime.

It's worth calling it a waste of energy, but no one cares about it.

“Madam, I'll be going now. ”

“Yes, Rashn, you've been busy and well done. ”

Rudrey greets you, and Raqen bows politely and turns back. Leona asks Rudrey, looking at the returning Raccoon.

“What is he doing specifically? ”

“I'm an agent. My exact title is Raven. ”

The crow, Leona, remembered that he had a crow-shaped badge on his suit chest all along.

Leona didn't sound like a good job. As it is natural that Leona doesn't know, Rudrey explains to her.

“No one in the tower likes to go outside. It's true that we are ruling the city of the tower, but if we go outside, something like yesterday might happen. with the exception of a few unique people. ”

Except for those who like to take their bodyguards outside and beat up citizens or kidnap them and force them to enslave them. Few people like to go out.

It was because most of the needs of life could be fulfilled inside the tower.

Most people don't like nobles, Rudrey added, but that's just one side of nobles.

“Most nobles don't go out, and going out is just a personal errand. Raven is a nobleman who should be out most of his time on public missions. He's an agent of governance.”

That's why Raqen stops by the nest on behalf of the tower, oversees the collection of taxes, and so on.

“Isn't that a pretty high position? ”

“For the common people, it would seem. ”

In the end, Rudrey's perception of her authority was revealed. Leona knows that it's not an insult, but she feels strangely scratched.

Rudred has been abducted from her home since yesterday. So, when I was talking about the outside world, my face became dark.

Rather, even after what happened, being able to talk normally with Leona meant that Rudrey was quite extraordinary.

“It's customary for Raven to choose someone from a small family. Raven eventually has a lot of power, so some people think bad things. They don't have the foundation to support them, but they tend to recruit extraordinary people. ”

In the end, Raven is a representative of the Mysters who rarely show up, and is practically their king. Leona was surprised that he was one of the many nobles who thought he was just one of them.

Of course, Rudy doesn't seem to think of Raven as anything more than a house guard dog.

In fact, it was true that Mister Shimach had asked Rachael, who was in charge of Raven, to take a look at his daughter for a while. Even if she's Myster's only daughter, that doesn't change.

“In that sense, Rachael is the most perfect raven of all time. ”

“... What do you mean? Perfect?”

“Didn't you know? Raqen was an ordinary man. I'm from slavery, to be exact. ”

Leona opened her eyes wide.
