The Best Assassin, Incarnated into a Different World’s Aristocrat
Episode Seven: Assassins Say No
By virtue of the skills of the brave Epona, [the knights who follow me], she borrowed her strength and some skills.
I just rented a training ground in the castle and tried to move my body, but my physical abilities are out of step.
Especially remarkable is the increase in magic releases.
It was a weakness to have nearly a thousand times as much magic as an ordinary person, but now nearly thirty times as much as it can release at once.
You can say your weaknesses have been overcome.
This increases the number of possible tactics at once.
"Absolutely not for Master Lug..."
Breathe rough and the tart kneels on the spot.
I had them deal with me to test my powers.
Don't you dare use magic to strengthen your physical abilities, you fought the Tart with all your might.
Until now, Tart had won when he just did that much handing, but he could win today.
"I didn't know you could be so strong. I look forward to using [the knights who follow me] for tarts"
"I'm looking forward to it too. It's very nice to hear that Master Lug's is flowing into me and connected all the time."
Is it my fault it sounds subtly nasty?
Soon, though, I'd like to grant [the knights who follow me] to the tart, but I'd like to experiment with a lot of things.
I want to manipulate some of the skills I give.
Amongst my skills and those I borrowed from Epona, there is a clear skill that I want to give to Tart.
[Limit Breaking] and [Super Recovery] among the skills I own.
This combo is extremely vicious.... Fight the Demons. Okay. That's not what you should be dealing with as a person.
I want tarts to go beyond people.
And in Epona's skills [eggs of possibility].
I can't pick these three and give them to you, or I'll try a lot, and then I'll empower the tart.
"I'm afraid you're going to use the skills that only three of us can use... but I also want you to choose at all"
"It's impossible not to choose you. Tart is my family, my dear assistant."
I got it as just a tool to begin with. But not now.
... I used brainwashing techniques to favor me. It may be thick for me to say this, but I believe our bond is real.
"Ha! Master Lug is everything to me. Are you two deciding who else?
"One's a decision in Dia."
Dia is my lover and will soon be tied. The best wizard as far as I can tell, even minus that point.
I have no reason not to choose.
"What about the other one?
"It's a little troubling. If it's not too hard, it's Marha. But that kid's backwards, and his fighting skills aren't so important. There is also a hand in choosing a father if he is instant... but put him on hold for the moment. If you think you need it, I'll pick it then."
It's forbidden to rush because only three people can choose in their lifetime.
Rather, it is preferable to have a single frame.
"As far as I'm concerned, Marha is good. Marha likes Master Lug as much as I do."
"Think about it. It's time to go back. They're calling me to dinner."
"I'm getting nervous. I will try not to embarrass Master Lug."
I'm not worried.
Because Tart's made-up skills are no longer in top notch.
◇
Dinner party, that was not planned by the royal family, but planned by a nobleman who, like us, was allowed to stay in the royal castle.
It is noble nobles and their servants who are allowed to stay in the royal castle who are participating.
About fifty people in total.
Just the barons like Towahade and others who can easily blow it off.
When we go in, we gather our gaze.
First, to me, who's the subject, then to my mother, Tart, Dia.
All the beauties and other things I'm tired of seeing, but still these three are out of group and I guess I can really catch my eye.
On the other hand, I'm proud of you, and I have feelings for you.
The tarts are commonplace, but my mother and Dia are used to it.
Some faces I saw.
Neusch Geffis.
Make it a trail for the four Dukes of this country, Classmate.
He has been looking lightly.
"Thank you for inviting me."
My father thanked me, so we'll do the same.
Follow the instructions over there, get to your seat, and refrain from tarting behind your back.
Originally, although I was in the lower seat, this time it was the guest of honor, so I was led to the upper seat.
"Baron Towaharde, I'm sorry I called you in when he said he was also ready for the medal ceremony. I wanted to talk to your son about everything. Sit down, please."
The Duke of Gephis laughs with a smile, but his eyes are not laughing.
Mixed gray hair on middle back of middle meat. It has a neat face and, above all, a light of intelligence.
A real nobleman. It is flashly decorated but without a slight aversion, and harmonious.
... look around, but there are many decent nobles.
I guess it's because he hosted and he chose the facade.
Classes call friends. Will there be a decent gathering of nobles at a decent nobility, or is it because the Duke of Gephis is educating his subordination?
When I got to my seat, the food was carried.
"You know what?"
Whisper and twinkle.
Today's dishes are all made from northern ingredients.
The three appetizers are soaked with walnuts in a mountain vegetable that can only be harvested in the north called Soviet, sprinkled with a berry sauce of a large pheasant bird ham called Hurta pheasant, which also lives in the north, and a grassake louis (iced sashimi), which lives in the northern river.
The next meat dish that comes out is still northern. Bear meat simmered in local miso used in the north.
I use cold resistant rye from bread in the first place.
If I stayed inside the royal castle and asked for a word, despite the meal being served by the castle, this dish brought in all the ingredients from Gephis territory and let its cooks cook it.
This doesn't make me miss the local cuisine, or hustle and bustle about the excellence of my territory to the participants in the party.
On this occasion, serving dishes like this demonstrates their own standing and willingness.
Royalty, no, you can't follow the central decision, when the Gephis territory moves of its own free will.
"How about today's cooking? Doesn't that suit your mouth better than the central dish?
I'm at the end of my gaze.
"Right. It's delicious, but the central dish isn't bad either."
The intention of this question is to go north, that is to say, to the House of the Duke of Gephis.
So I said that I could not take that suggestion as it stands.
The air on the field becomes a little swordswallowed, and my father opens his mouth to it.
"Let's not go around this kind of central wind. I assure you this place is not eavesdropping, and there are no scumbags. … as long as the Duke of Gephis is not distracted by the gatherers"
In the words of my father, the surroundings of the Duke of Gephis rise and rise.
"There should be no such thing among us!
"Baron Towaharde, aren't you in too much shape!
"I apologize for this. Minutes of worrying stuff."
The roundabout way is for people not to take their word for it when it comes to trouble.
What if we don't get to the Duke of Gephis' side in the conversation earlier? Oh, my God, if that's public, it could be considered counterproductive.
Conversely, I wouldn't do that if the conversation here didn't leak.
"Hmm, well. I believe in everyone. So let's just ask him straight in. This central decision. We're not convinced. In the first place, can I kill the Demons against you?
"I don't know. I killed the last Demon Clan, but I couldn't. No matter how much you kill, it regenerates, and without Epona the brave, I would have had to run away."
"Well, even if I can't kill you, could I kill you? That's roughly unbelievable. How can you do that?"
"We possess S-rank skills"
"What power is that?
"Being informed of that skill is synonymous with being public about my weaknesses, and I will keep my mouth shut about what skill"
Originally, one in every 100 million people has S-rank skills.
Just have it and you can say you have heroic qualities.
"Fine. But if you can't kill him, doesn't that make sense?
"I've knitted one way to kill you. However, we have not been able to demonstrate that. The next demon tribe shows up, and I can't assure you I can kill him until I try it. It's a way of saying that you could possibly kill them."
It's no use hiding it, so answer honestly.
"I see......, it would be amazing if I could demonstrate it. It's the first demonic killing in history by anyone but the brave."
This guy knows how big a case that is.
Maybe everyone else will be able to kill the Demons as well as me.
"So I'd rather you bet on that possibility than eliminate the justification for me dying in an accident, or illness, and keeping the brave man in the center.... Besides, I don't want to die either, so I will resist with all my might. Killing me with S-rank skills is quite a bone."
"Ha, you were apparently spotted"
It was being watched from the streets, but since entering the Wang capital, it had been taken over by noisy people, who had realized that.
At last, they were trying to do less harm by overturning their decision not to send the brave men to the province right now if I couldn't kill them.
"You are quite funny. Baron Towaharde has been blessed with a good son."
"Yeah, Lug is my pride. That's not the end of the story, is it?
"Um, we're all out of love in the middle of this one. The royal family is still decent, but they're bullying me."
Those are the two houses of the four Grand Dukes to the east and west.
North and south, that Duke family with deep connections to the Duke of Gephis and Towahade is decent, but east and west are aristocratic nobles in the so-called bad ways.
"If Lug can really kill the Demons, you'll keep naming them. So much so that the east and west cannot be ignored. If we take in the power of the brave and you, we can wipe their influence. Can you help me, please? Of course, I'll pay the reward, and I'll do my best to back it up."
I am thankful to receive support from the great nobility for the exorcism of the Demons.
It is also more powerful to survive the aristocratic society to gain the back shield of the Duke of Gephis.
But it is also true and troubling that if you are taken in here, it will be difficult to move.
"I mean take me in, but how exactly?
Encourage the conversation ahead of you as you explore your thoughts.
"Marriage at home and in Towahade. Blood is the strongest connection. My son, Neusch, and your fine lady, Claudia." "I refuse."
I answered instantly.
This proposal is out of the question.
There's no way I can give you Dia.
In my second life, I decided to live as I please.
Therefore, if it is for your own love, you kick it that it would be a suggestion of a great nobleman.
"Not the Lord, but you answer."
"Yes, because what you need is not the power of Towahade, but of being a second brave man. He'll leave it to me, too."
"Oh, let's leave it to Lug"
Is it unexpected to be refused, the Duke of Gephis made a slight but wrinkle between the brows?
Impossible suggestion to kick if it's pure loss calculation.
They are going to be showing the utmost sincerity in the first place.
Not the nobility surrounding Dia's fiancée, but the House of the Duke of Gephis, because it also chose to succeed him.
"... well, unfortunately, I look forward to your work. We'll show up again when you defeat the Demons. [M] I'll make a different proposal next time."
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it"
"Um, I'm done with the hassle. Enjoy your meal purely from here. Our cock makes excellent desserts."
"Let me do that"
I didn't hold back at all.
You must have seen my reaction and realized I had no pulse at all.
After that, I enjoyed the food purely.
Dia liked the Northern cuisine. I saw that, inferred the recipe while eating, somehow but imagined.
Next time, let's make it for Dia. Something better, too.
I like her. That's why I'm not letting you take it, and I want to do what she's happy about.
