The Best Assassin, Incarnated into a Different World’s Aristocrat

Inn about the city of Jomble, your destination.

Between raids, prepare as you spend time in this city. Being in this city is the easiest thing to handle.

I was having an operational meeting while eating.

"Um, I knew the food in this city was good. I miss you so much."

With a satisfied face, Dia is carrying the meal.

Muniel with buttery river fish. Features include stir-fried onions.

The flavor itself is not special, but for Dia, it tastes like home.

Only the city near the border with the Kingdom of Suongel conveys your cuisine.

"Um, Mr. Nevan. Will you be okay with the meal with us?

"Of course it is. As I said the other day, while accompanying the Demons to defeat them, they are teammates, in the same position as you."

When Nevan accompanied him, he offered one condition.

It's to treat you as just a nevan during an operation.

I didn't say it to get acquainted.

When moving as a team, the development of the chain of command is very important. Even a few teams can't believe they have two leaders. Performance is gutted in the situation.

That's why I treat you as a tart or dia equivalent while you're moving as a team.

Me, of course, and everyone else.

"Even so, to the Duke's Lady Nevan..."

"I think that kind of deep itch is a tart beauty, but I think it's also a flaw. Even these armies are with us. Even Lai's son is absolute about his boss's orders, and he won't be treated special. If we do that, we're all gonna die."

"You're right about Dia. I said I could do that, so I'm bringing him in."

Around using the army as an example, it sounds like Dia.

Ignore the chain of command because you were born noble, and that army will be the weakest.

Most of all, noble born things get the posts they deserve from the beginning.

But Nevan said he'd fight me if he wanted. There's no post there she deserves. If it is, we have to treat it with unworthy treatment, and if we can't do that, we can't take it.

That's why I only see Nevan as a subordinate and stop saluting him.

But that's just during the operation.

"Really? So call me Nevan, like Dia. Tart."

"Ha, yes, ah, uh, nevan"

Tart abandoned Nevan in the way he said he was afraid.

Blah, in the case of tarts, I like Dia and me with vegetables, so even Master Nevan feels good.

"Yeah, that's good. That sounds like it. Oh, Nevan, take the salt."

"Yes, go ahead"

... I feel a little too split for Dia.

In her case, rationality is fundamental to thought, and I guess Dia is used to being a high-profile being in the first place.

"You haven't forgotten another condition."

"Yes, of course. We don't tell anyone what we know here, and we don't divert technology."

"Oh... we have technology and tactics we don't want to be known about. And the Demons are not even opponents who can fight with their hands hidden. If you can't swallow that condition, I'll do my best to keep Nevan from following you."

This is also an advance agreement.

What I'm good at, [shooting], [gunnil], [rail gun], etc. can't be on the table.

It is impossible to seal them and kill the demons. And you can't take operational action unless you release the nature to the team members in advance beyond using it.

Therefore, Nevan has been told the magic and techniques that can be used in this demonic killing.

"I promise you, too. What happens if you break that promise?

"I don't care, I will never trust you again and recognize you as an enemy. What's more, I'll put on as many promises as I want to make, holes like this. For example, I can't believe he let his children follow him and not himself. But I wouldn't dare plug a hole like that." I kept my word, but I will make you my enemy. "

"Oh, that's so sad. But what can I say about turning me" Romarung "against my enemies?

"Oh, I'm proud to have them buy about that... and I can always do it if I just kill them. Even if the opponent is Romarung."

Consciously leaks intent to kill.

This is intimidation, a statement of determination.

Nevan opens his eyes and suppresses his trembling hands.

"Heh heh, I knew you were an assassin. What cold eyes. But I like it there. Trust me. I won't do anything you don't like. Because I'm the husband of an important future."

"I don't remember accepting the second half."

"Does it matter if you accept?

...... still fucked up.

"Anyway, if you know what I mean. Let's eat first. When this is over, we'll start an operational meeting."

"Yes, then let's enjoy the taste of this common man"

"This is quite a treat, isn't it?"

Tart looks at Nevan wonderfully.

The gap between the Duke's Lady and the poor rural born.

Dia is also somewhat closer to Nevan in sensitivity, but in Dia's case, it doesn't make her feel that way.

Whatever it is, let's eat well.

We need to heal our fatigue on the long journey.

◇

The next day, we all actually walk to grasp the city's terrain.

We've already got a map of the city, but we actually need to see it with our eyes.

I even assume city warfare in this operation. No, there's a better chance of that happening.

The opponent has the nature of a cat family, which appears in herds at close proximity to the city.

Super fast and tremendous jumping power. We quickly approach the city and fly over the barrier.

It's harder to knock them out before they get inside the city than you know which direction they're coming from.

An elite of the Duke of Romarung family is on watch for me and is monitoring all directions, but a carnivore is a good way to erase the signs and is likely to be broken in before they pass information on here.

Then the battlefield is in the city.

I said yesterday that the inability to use [GUNGNIL] in the carriage was the fragility of the walls, but that was the assumption that we were lucky enough to have a successful interception outside, and if we hit something like that all over the city, the city would die.

"Ugh, wherever we fight, the damage to the city is unlikely to be contained"

That's what I say as the tart glances around for a moment.

"Well, if this is the only flourishing city, conveniently there are no people, no buildings, there is no such thing as a large space. Sacrifices are unstoppable. We're not gods."

"Yes, but it's sad"

I stroke Tart's head.

"Tart is sweet."

"That's not true. I just thought I didn't like it."

It sweetens to me in a light but pleasant way.

"Well, I envy you. I have a suggestion. This is how we look down, and because of this, why don't we take advantage of the local interest and the ambush, the two advantages"

"If you're going to take advantage of that advantage, is that a trap? It could be effective."

We know it's coming in advance, so it's the Stone that prepares to pick you up.

However, if we were to assume against the Demons, we would need super firepower.

If that trap is activated, it's like a dozen private houses blowing up. I have to set up a bunch of that.

... This is also a strategy that assumes someone's sacrifice.

But I'm pretty sure the same thing would happen if it were a fight, even without that trap.

Then should we identify, even in advance on the battlefield, where there is little sacrifice, and direct a herd of demons there after trapping them, and use the power of the trap to make that area a battlefield and fix it?

"Then let's just do it"

"It's mountains I want to do, but it's hard. I can handle supplies that just make a trap. But installing a trap is the problem. People will notice you before the Demons do."

"Is that okay, too? Make the installation a private home. Hit me on the cheek with the money and I'll buy it out, so you can set it up all you want, right?

... Indeed. That's the best way to set a trap in this wave.

If you're in the house you bought away, you won't be disturbed, and it's easy to hide the trap.

"You're scared of the rich."

"I use it when I should, so the money is worth it"

"Let's sweeten your words"

If we can give you any chance of winning, we should use Nevan's help.

◇

Then I bought sixteen houses to set up a trap while checking the terrain and set a trap.

Of course, some of them wouldn't sell their homes no matter how much money they piled up, but there were as many candidates for replacement.

If they accumulate three times the price of the market, they will appear one after the other that will allow them to leave happily and immediately.

I don't know which direction it's coming from, so I set four houses on each side, a trap to keep.

It's a remote activated trap.

What you use to guide your enemies and sandwich them from blind spots.

"That's a lot of money."

"Because we make money"

In the first place, it is possible that the Demons will not show up.

Even if they show up, fighting outside the fence that protects the city, if possible, is a top priority.

There is also enough danger that this city will not be a battlefield.

Nevertheless, Nevan bought sixteen houses for three times the market price.

"Sorry if I wasted it"

"It's okay. You didn't think I noticed? The house you bought, the location where everything is easy to reuse, easy to use for business. Even if I bought it for triple the price, it would be easy for you and me to get it back."

"Do you realize that much? I'll tell you what, assuming it's effective as a trap, I chose that kind of land out of it. Don't let Nevan hurt you."

It doesn't have to be a big expense for Nevan, it's a lot of money.

Then I want to think about it afterwards.

"That's not all, is it? You really don't have a loophole.... 'Cause if the surroundings go vacant, it's all about multiplying in value. Can you even do a grounder?

"Wow, you can't think like that about Lug, can you? I can't believe I bought it first in anticipation of getting more ground on the battlefield."

"That's not a follow up to Nevan. If that makes it a battlefield, we can follow up with the people who lived there."

Nevan and Dia tilt their necks.

The land I bought was originally worth it, but it can be the best commercial land if a dense private house is blown together by disaster or something.

... Yes, the trap is activated and if it becomes a battlefield, a strip of it will blow up and create an ideal commercial vacant lot.

I dared to make such a place a battlefield.

That's not just about pursuing profit.

"Oh, I see. People who have lost their homes because of the battlefield also have no trouble with money or where they live if they can buy them high!

I had no idea Tart would get it right.

The eyes that look at me in the tart are hard to see because of admiration or because they are too beautifying. But that's why some parts of it seem to be visible.

There are many sacrifices, no matter where you turn it into a battlefield. Then if we keep the land on the battlefield where we can buy it at a high price, we can use it as a fund for people who have lost their homes to embark on a new life.

If you want, you can also be given a job by using them in commerce starting on the land you bought.

"Oh, that's what happened. Lug is too attentive, isn't he? Bald?"

"I hate that."

I laugh bitterly.

hypocrisy as much as possible. This is the guiding principle of behavior that has sprung up since becoming Lug Towahade.

I'm not going to make a self sacrifice, I'm not going to let the success of the assassination drop. But to that extent, I want to do what I can.

I'm sure I wouldn't have thought of this before I was reincarnated.

Finish setting up the trap in the last house.

"... the trap installation is last here. All you have to do is prepare. Besides, Nevan. I have one thing to tell you. Probably in the midst of a battle with the Demons, Neusch also appears. Stop being human at the price of your power. As noblemen of the kingdom of Alvan, it is an unforgivable sin."

Neush thirsty for power, Snake Demon Meena who says she did an omelet by referring to such a Neush as a toy.

More importantly, Meena prophesied that she would show up willing to fight a demon tribe strong enough to say that even I couldn't win.

There is one answer that leads from it.

That with the power of Meena, Neusch, who gained strength until he stopped being human, appears.

"Well, that's information I don't know either. You were worried about that stupid childhood thing, weren't you?

Worry doesn't mean as much as words say.

Meaning he was following footsteps with the overwhelming intelligence-gathering ability of the Duke of Romarng family.

"What if that stupid childhood tame turns to the enemy? I'll kill you if I have to."

"If you don't have to, you mean you won't?

"That's how hard it is to read unspoken thoughts right away"

"I'm the same.... Totally, Kamaya was adorable. With your sister, your sister, like a puppy. I wonder where I went wrong."

Nevan smiles.

There was a leak of loneliness I couldn't hide.

She has feelings for Neusch.

That's far from romance, more like turning against my brother.

Surprisingly. I can't believe she only thinks about embodying Romarung, turning that sentiment on him that doesn't lead to any profit.

"Anyway, that's it. Everybody, be prepared so the Demons can show up whenever they want."

"Ha, I eat a lot and sleep a lot!

"I'll do a final check on the new magic I made for this one."

"Then shall I consider post-war processing"

From here, it's not weird whenever the Demons come.

I did everything I could.

And then there's how it works in battle.
