Master’s Smile

Episode One Hundred Seven: Signs I Know

Before heading to the main entrance with any movement, I take a look at the noble uncle next door.

Although I wasn't particularly worried because the signs had not disappeared, I was glad that I was resting in a presumptuous sleep.

It's been a long time since I asked. [M] You can't fail and be disappointed by everyone in The Army of Salvation (Yerkthilla).

On the way to the main entrance, there was a private soldier who was policing the mansion, so I told him to be in front of the aristocratic bedroom for once.

The assassin-like signs haven't moved through the front gate yet, so they'll be fine, but I won't leave them to me when I'm pulled out.

That's why I came to the front gate to get rid of my hindsight worries......

Oh... this is terrible.

All ten of the private soldiers guarding the main entrance were down and down on the ground.

"Ugh..."

I thought he was dead, but some groaned, so he wasn't.

Confirming a private soldier who was falling nearby, he still had breath, and he didn't suffer any major injuries like he had to be treated now.

Though this is also considered the mercy of the assassin, the strength of the assassin is shown in good faith.

Because it means that you have the power to accommodate ten private soldiers to the point of passing out without letting them escape or even killing them.

... Is that it? I can't win, can I?

It's a good thing you've accomplished your request and woke up trying to get everyone to admit it, left a litter and popped out, but if you suck, they'll kill you?

Jari......

There was a sound like stomping a small stone.

I still had a cold sweat on my heart, although it was the smile that snapped on my face that didn't turn it off.

When I raised my gaze, a human stood who would have beaten the private soldiers to the ground.

I try to see the look on my face, but I can't peek because I wear a deep hood.

He had a sword in his hand, which existed spookily.

Yes, it feels like an assassin...

My back length is huge and I can predict it would be a man from a disappointing physique......

After all, he's the bearer of signs like he knows.

Besides, I know across the street, but this guy is pretty powerful.

Even now, he's releasing tremendous pressure to kill me.

Once upon a time, if I hadn't had all sorts of experiences when I was traveling with Flirty, I would have passed out.

…………

I ask who I am, but naturally I don't get an answer. [M]

Ugh... the creeps stand out even more.

Hmmm...... and what am I supposed to do?

The best thing would be not to kill me either, but to capture this assassin alive.

Whom he is employed by...... although it is generally predictable, it would work if we captured the enemy's hand and questioned Prince Linz.

But......

…………

An assassin who would be staring at me without showing any movement.

From me feeling his pressure, I couldn't seem to do that either.

This may be possible for someone as experienced in combat as Ritter, but it seems impossible for me to stay off the front line.

Additionally, I don't like the fine work of capturing people alive. [M]

Sometimes this happens, so I guess I'll work out again when this request is over...

"... can I just be thinking?

If I had been confused, the assassin would have given me that kind of attention.

Oh, thank you. This, I'm sorry.

I almost gave such a relaxed reply, but it never came out of my mouth.

Because the assassin who appeared before me waved down his sword.

"Shh!!

Hi-no-no!?

The sound of the air ripping out of my face comes from where I was.

I managed to avoid the assassin's slaughter.

Ha, fast! The same is true of the steps that approach me in an instant, but I was also amazed at the sharpness of the sword.

At least, it was faster than that of Princess Nina's bare gesture that she had me look at before.

... or why are you slashing me with a blade!?

Like the private soldiers, I won't let you pass out!?

"... well, avoid this attack"

When I'm thrilled to distance myself, the assassin looks impressed with me, fortunately, without doing anything to pack the distance again.

"I miss that litter, and all the more suddenly I'm close enough to Princess Nina. I knew you weren't the only one, but you were right."

I'm glad you said that, but honestly, it's not like this happened when my powers were recognized.

Litter missed me because I helped her get out of that country somewhat.

Princess Nina took me aside because she trusted me about Ritter.

"Don't be modest. Can the powerless avoid my attacks?"

No, it just so happens...

Even if they tell me to try the same thing again, can I...

"After all, isn't he a brilliant opponent like the one who is falling here, who can be defeated by hand"

... Is that it? I feel like the intimidation of an assassin pointing his sword has grown considerably...

I'm really not that strong, am I?

Somewhat, I only have the strength to protect myself.

"Let's go!!

Don't come!?

Well, there's no way I can say that, and I give up grinning.

The assassin easily packs his distance from me with this brilliant leg power again.

Wow!? The sword is approaching!

It would be better for the future Princess Nina to capture them alive, although we might be able to figure it out if we don't question their lives or their deaths.

When that happens, you can't possibly hit my magic bullet on the assassin...

"Become!?

I had no choice, so I decided to smash the magic bullet into my sword and destroy it.

Well, if it's about a normal sword that's not even a holy sword, it's as easy as breaking it.

The assassin looked at the fragments, shattered and scattered, falling to the ground as they reflected the light of the moon.

It becomes a big gap.

Although... there's very little I can do in melee combat.

"... stay away from the master"

So let's leave it to my trusted people at a time like this.

Zach entered between me and the assassin without any foretaste, a litter dressed in thin clothes.
