Legend

1855 words

Even the second city of the kingdom of Mireana, Tartosis, naturally darkens at night.

If it were also to be the residence of the Duke of Keller, ruling Anesis, that would have been the only thing that would have bothered the lights at all, but such a place is one of the few exceptions.

Even though Anesis, naturally the majority of the city was closed to darkness at night.

In such darkness, the Black Wolf runs.

As the name Black Wolf suggests, the way it runs as it blends into the darkness, you'll believe whoever it is, if you're told it's a superior, first-rate assassin.

the road, running the roof of the building, and in some cases even the wall, while the black wolf heads to the place of destination.

... while I was there, there was a meatloaf in my hand that Ray gave me... again, it wasn't a mistake to say that it looked like a black wolf.

So while you're at it, even though you're running through roofs and walls, you don't seem to notice anyone in the house at all.

That was not how those in the house woke up asleep, nor did they notice anything at all, whether they were doing any work or imitating things like drinking.

We also encountered guards looking around the city along the way, but the guards can't find what the Black Wolf looks like.

In the night, in the darkness, other inhabitants because they are assassins living in death… inhabitants living in the world of the table have no way of realizing what a black wolf looks like.

That's how the black wolf, running through the darkness of the night, finally loosens its legs.

Most of all, it's still pretty fast, although if you're a normal person, you probably won't be able to find it if you look at a black wolf.

……

The black wolf, who was silently looking around him, eventually carries it to his mouth, staring remorsefully at the meatloaf in his hand.

There are currently black wolves in a relatively tall building in Slam Street...... of, rooftops.

That's where I don't think I'd come up even if it weren't for the night, if it were normal.

Because the building itself is old, and that's not so strange when it collapses.

I can stay flat in that situation...... on the contrary, I guess it's only because I'm a black wolf that I can enjoy the night view of being able to see the moon even as it snows.

If Ray were here, would he have vanished on purpose to see the moon? And it's not a strange place to be dissatisfied.

In the scenery of such an evening, despite the snow, I carry the meat to my mouth without showing how cold it looks at all.

I got out of Ray's room and I've been running through the winter nights, so naturally the meat is already cold.

But the black wolf slowly carries such a meat into his mouth and eats it to taste one bite at a time.

Naturally, cold meat is not that good.

No, some people even affirm that it tastes bad.

It was such a flesh, but the black wolf nevertheless ate the flesh in his own hands looking important.

No matter how important you eat, naturally, but if you keep eating, it will eventually go away.

The Black Wolf looked sadly at the meatloaf getting smaller in his hand, but still the hand eating the meatloaf never stopped but proceeded to eat...... Eventually, when the last bite entered the Black Wolf's mouth, he gave a sad look, like he had never shown before Ray.

For a few minutes as it is, the black wolf regrets the hand that eventually ran out of meat...... when licked remnantly, it leaps off the spot.

All the black wolves have ever been is that if you're a normal human being, jump, it's a place of height that leads directly to death.

Nonetheless, the black wolf jumped without even a look of fear at all and landed on the ground with nothing to make a sound of.

The moment he landed on the ground, he bent his knee and completely killed the impact.

It is an act that requires a tremendously high level of skill, but it is not that difficult if you try it as a black wolf, and that is the only thing that can be done to cross noses.

The black wolf, who lands on the ground while acting in a way that could be called a waste of technology, runs out again as it is.

The destination is a special place in Slam Street.

That's how it was eventually reflected in the sight of the black wolf who was running through the darkness of the night, a normal whole house that I wouldn't think would otherwise be in Slam Street.

Nonetheless, nobody has a lookout... because they know who lives in this house, whoever it is around here.

No matter how many slum city dwellers you are, you will never just imitate the kind of people who go into this house to steal it.

Because you know that if you imitate that, that's the end of your life itself.

The Black Wolf goes in with no particular vigilance in such a house...... with a sense of security as if it were his own.

"Oh, welcome"

Beyond the door open, that's what the Deacon waited for as if he knew the Black Wolf was coming, a token of his praise.

That is not the ordinary house like this, but the man, who was gracious enough not to be strange to be a butler in an aristocratic mansion, notices the scent drifting from the black wolf, and is just a little surprised even if his expression remains motionless.

It drifted from the Black Wolf because it was definitely the scent of food... cooking.

It would be quite unusual if we tried to be vigilant and that is what the main figure in this House invites us to make it into a black wolf who rarely eats.

Nevertheless, the butler leads you inside the house without asking anything more than that in particular.

The residence of the Duke of Keller...... on the contrary, this house is smaller than any other noble mansion.

If you asked me if I needed guidance from a butler in such a house, it wouldn't have been strange to have doubts if I were normal.

But in the case of this house, it's different.

Whoever lives in this house is not known to those around him.

For it will mean that some come for the lives of those who live in this House.

If you are the one who has entered Anesis from another city or city because someone with very great influence lives in this house in the world behind you in Anesis... not to mention if you are a bloody person, if you are in Anesis, you will not do what you should never do.

For that reason, this butler and a few others...... here is where we have to act together.

That's the kind of place that doesn't necessarily trigger a life-threatening trap if you act without knowing anything.

(Most of the time, it's called the Black Wolf. The kind of trap set in this house wouldn't be strange if it was activated or normally avoided)

Looking at the face of the black wolf, the butler walks down the hallway to the place of destination...... to the place where the Lord of this Mansion is.

It's not originally that big a house, so that's when you get to that room in about a few dozen seconds and knock on the door.

"Excuse me, sir. There was a black wolf."

"Let me through."

Deacon opens the door to a voice heard from inside the room.

Nevertheless, only the black wolf entered the room, and the butler walked away from the front of the room as it was.

It is no surprise that, by nature, such an act is impolite to the person who is the master and to the black wolf who has come as a guest.

But there were corresponding rules in this House, and it was only natural to follow them.

The Black Wolf has also come many times, so I enter the room with nothing in particular to think of after seeing such an exchange.

The furniture that was in the hallway until we got here was also what we should all call a first-class item.

But what's in this room is obviously furnished on a scale even compared to them.

That's one of these pieces of furniture. If you sell it, you can play and live for decades if you're a general household...... on the contrary, a bunch of pieces of furniture that would be worth as much as you can live for the rest of your life if you were to have a qualitative life.

Above all, the normal use of such fine furniture represented the character of those in this House.

In fact, it's like I'm not thinking about anything...... that's not strange to normally use the furniture in this room if you're the kind of person who thinks it's ridiculous to ask about the value of this furniture.

But those who live in this house use a variety of pieces of furniture, knowing it.

... but the Black Wolf had no idea what the furniture was worth.

"Well done, Black Wolf."

That's what I've been hearing from a man in his mid-thirties.

I would say that as a man who has such a house and stands at the apex behind Anesis he is slightly younger.

But the fact that this man actually used every means to climb up in the back world of Anesis, to the apex... is an unmistakable figure.

Of course, the Black Wolf cooperated in the fierce and quiet battle.

The Black Wolf is only a freelance assassin, not a subordinate of this man.

Still, there was no doubt that he was the one who took care of the Black Wolf, and also that the Black Wolf was the most forgiving person in this Anesis.

"Oh? Seems different... what's wrong?

Even by the side, we can't imitate how black wolves look differently than usual today.

I guess that's because men have spent so much time with black wolves.

To a man like that, the Black Wolf has nothing to say, it just goes round on the couch a little further away from the desk where the man was organizing the paperwork.

This couch is also, naturally, a very expensive substitute... for a black wolf, I guess that doesn't matter.

"Not at all..."

That's what the man says, turning his gaze to the black wolf sleeping on the couch.

There he is, not the man who presides over the society behind Anesis...... but one man with the look of worrying about his family somewhere.

To the man...... for Celestan, a black wolf was a pal at the same time as a handkerchief and had feelings close to his family.

If there had been a Celestial subordinate on this occasion, he would have been surprised at how it was now to see the Black Wolf.

Not very much, but it looked different from the usual Celestan.

(Nevertheless......)

Celestan shrugs small as she turns her eyes back to the paperwork again.

Today's black wolf still says it's different somewhere than usual.

That's close to the question I felt because I've known the Black Wolf for a long time.

(Doesn't seem like there was anything wrong with it at all... can I just leave it like this?)

Black wolves are sensitive to other people's malice just because they're doing assassins.

... such a black wolf sleeping defenselessly in front of himself was a very happy event for Celestan.

(Whatever, it's true that something happened to the Black Wolf. If you can think of it, is it deep red)

The request currently being received by the Black Wolf is a deep red assassination.

But there's nothing like a man who's already made that request on the table.

Either way, if something were to happen in the current situation where the black wolf is working, there could be no other thought there than that targeted ray.

Originally, if the Black Wolf had the ability, it wouldn't take long to make an assassination.

Even such a black wolf would be a testament to the fact that the deep red alias is still not Dada.

"Still... even if we don't already have a client, it's definitely the Black Wolf who took on this request. There is no better option than to interrupt this request"

Celestan shakes her neck sideways as she puts it out into words.

In fact, there's nothing wrong with interrupting the request here more than that person who's been making this request, Geiska, can't pay the rest of the reward.

However, if such an imitation is made, there may be those who think that an assassin named Black Wolf has failed in his request.

With Celestan's position, you don't have to worry about such bullshit, and the Black Wolf isn't the character to care about other people's appreciation again.

But still... Still, if you try to make a celestan who knows a person named Black Wolf, it's not funny that the Black Wolf's reputation would be lost, and if you could, you wanted to avoid it.

That's why, even though I understand there's a slight impossibility right now, the Black Wolf is after Ray.

The presence of Ray is not a pain in the ass for Celestan...

Celestan naturally also knows that the story in the first place, Ray will disappear from Anesis in a few days.

If so, that's because there's no need for black wolves to bother getting their hands on here.

With that in mind, Celestan had no intention of canceling his job to the Black Wolf.

(Did you say Gaiska or something? That man's blood is definitely worth it, too.... Old blood muscles are worth more than their abilities,)

Even considering just for a moment how Geiska was currently underground, Celestan quickly forgot about it and turned her gaze to the black wolf who sleeps happily.
