The Branded Female Fencer

City of Pleasure, Part 189 ~ Retaliation ㉟ ~

"It depends on the relationship. I try not to think about it as much as I can at work. Killing isn't basically pleasant to me. That's all I'm sad about this one when my emotions shift, so I try not to know about them as much as I can. You know what? A superior assassin must be emotional. In a doll with dead emotions, you can't be super first-rate. 'Cause you mean your sensibilities are dead. One factor that drives the blind line is sensitivity. The more sensitive you are, the less you'll miss. Some of the guys with the most broken emotions from the start, and it's an industry with a lot of people with distorted preferences, so it might not be very helpful."

"Have you ever hated and killed someone?

"I do, just once. Slave trader who bought me. I didn't even think of me as a human being. That's why I killed him by means that I don't think are human. But strangely, you don't refresh anything. The only thing left is the bad aftertaste. Then I try not to pinch any extra emotions in the killing. It's pretty hard, isn't it? What keeps killing while preserving humanity. So if I do some work, I'll live in a world that has nothing to do with killing for a while. I travel, I try to work, and sometimes I get horny.

But it doesn't look like a killer to you. "

"Not suitable? It's the first time I've been told."

"It's not for me. You have a flaming passion deep in the emotions that pushed you in like a permafrost. I've seen a lot of assassins, but people like that aren't for assassins. The assassin must be capable of killing for no reason, neither himself nor his opponent. You always think about why you wield power. And the meaning of that power. You're a knight or something. Instead of exercising your true power when you get a good Lord?

"... I'm not too worried about that. I believe my Lord is right. If I'm wrong, I'll stop."

"The idea is already a knight. Killers and mercenaries are just blindly following their employers. The only priority is your own safety."

"Right... yeah, it's a little neat. Thank you for listening."

When Layer thanked the third, he put his sword away and left the scene promptly. There is no longer a junction except for people with darts. Leaving the scene was also the right answer for number three, but often number three dropped off the back of the layer.

It was the black cat that showed up there. When the black cat prompted the third to move, he sat behaving on the crate and looked at the third. It is, of course, an individual that Whisper manipulates.

"It's unusual, you're obsessed with someone."

"... right. I'm a little surprised myself. But she'll be one of the best warriors on the continent. And definitely has properties. I didn't know what it was like, but I got stronger in the middle of the fight. Maybe that kid will help you achieve your purpose?

"No way. I'm still too young. There may not be as much time for the 'Silver Heir' to move." Wind of the Sword "also always emerges when a great battle appears. I guess we'll be that close by then. We have to do something with the pawns we have."

"Really? Then suppose you take a break before then, huh? Why don't you hold me off on a private island where I can slow down in a warm place? There's too much work to do, starting with the promotion and publicity of Experion, the assassination of Corsens, the end of a line of brave men. I've been at work for over a year before that. I need to be sharp before I do my big job."

"I don't mind that - wait. What did you just say?

"So I can slow down in a warm place -"

"After that. You think this is an assassination of Corsens? I didn't give that order."

"But the bird did come to me."

"I don't use the same animal twice when communicating orders. You know that, too."

"Then that bird... No way"

Number three considered the possibilities that came to mind. Corsens' behavior was certainly a detour. How did you get to this stage and make a blur when you've successfully deceived other leading men so far? And one incident in the arena ended strangely. It was an offering to show the power of Xperion and distribute it in the sales path behind it to make a demon king appear there, but it was a little too much fuss. We weren't going to let that strong demon king emerge.

Speaking of other weird things, there was a lot going on. It is good that the oak surrounds the tarram. But no street guard noticed, and no one came to Tarram to inform him in a city with as many people in and out as Tarram. That's why I realized it after being besieged. The same goes for Libidu's Hall when it moves. There shouldn't be so many people in that place, but a lot of people were already going crazy when the fog started coming out. And what happened to the monsters that were in the fog? Little has been heard of the townspeople being attacked. How about this one? Dart would have used exculpatory witchcraft, but I wonder if one of the anarchy cases has yet to be reported to the guild either. How did Yatri end up in ruin? In the first place, how did you know there was an Xperion in Libidu's Hall? Did it happen that all the whorehouses involved in Calamity were torn apart?

Even though not all of this has anything to do with it, the appearance of one person came to mind as a result of the various pieces of information circling around.

"Whisper, I need another work permit before you take a vacation."

"I don't mind that, what's up?

"It could be a series of streams of taram, on the palm of one person. We Almas may just have been danced, too."

"... then don't miss it. But no reinforcements?

"Then shall I give you a hand?

"Who!

A familiar old man stood before the third man blamed him for the sudden origin of his voice.
