The Spearmaster and the Black Cat

One hundred and seventy-four, Shogun Yui's two.

I was returning to Halfania, the capital of the King of Thermalia, where my father lived with a daily fervour.

I immediately go around the stores I know everywhere to sell the ancient gold coins I received from Shuya. I was introduced to one store and rushed to the place.

It was a specialty antique shop where one of the ancient gold coins sold for one white gold coin and five gold coins.

If Zoll matches the money he had, it's a lot of money.

Thank you so much, Shuya.

I was able to sell off all the ancient gold coins and find a good pharmacist over a few days.

And spend everything on my father's treatment.

The brilliant scaleman (Calamnian) pharmacist spoke of precious medicines that are purified using mermaid meat, holy bird Kunkuld feathers, pygmin nests and Amros pearls that can only be taken on the lonely island of Amros in the Rhodelian Sea.

I guess it really is. My father's terrible curse wound is gradually pulling.

"... Yui, the amount of this medicine..."

"Yeah, I worked hard at it, don't worry, so hang this medicine directly on the wound, and if you take it, your father will recover sooner or later. He said he'd be able to stand soon."

"I heard you succeeded me in my work..."

"Never mind, the Frogmans are still going on"

"... oh, I'm sorry. Yui, thank you."

My father has a skinny face.

And when he saw and spoke to me with his vain eyes, he meditated and fell asleep in his eyes.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

After a while, the curse wound completely disappeared from his father's body.

Still, he was speaking to his father, who was in a state of sleep but was on his way to comfort, about what he doubted.

"Dad, how did you get these wounds?

"This is a battle against a political opponent of Master Huatos, a wound he received in his place."

"What?

"Didn't you hear?"

"... yeah. So you're saying that you protected Master Huatos, and you didn't give him all the help he could get for his sick and suffering father?

"I can't help that. It's kind of a show. You made a mistake. Because I am nothing but a pawn."

Is Dad talking with sadness, or dropping his gaze a little?

"But..."

"- But he hired you, didn't he? Wouldn't that have helped?

"Oh, right..."

"Mm-hmm. Your arm as an assassin is top notch. Sawazo would have contributed a lot...... ho ho ho ho"

I suddenly cough up.

"Are you okay?

"Ah...... Sleep a little"

Dad fell asleep.

In fact, I did not say anything to my father, but I have not yet made a report to Master Huatos.

It's already been over a month since I've been back here.

It should be known that I am operating back here in the mansion.

I think if I don't go to the report soon...... but I'm afraid I'll go to the report.

Never before has it failed to receive a directive.

I'm sorry. Dad.

Because of me... Father, I might crush the Frogman family.

In a depressing mood, head to Master Huatos' mansion and report back to him.

"... well, I didn't know you'd fail"

He was bowing his head in the cabinet room with the scent of ciderwood characteristic of the Marquis family.

"I'm sorry"

"And it's been a long time since you got here, and you've been moving a lot about your father, haven't you?

"Yes."

"Do you have any idea why I didn't get my hands on your mansion like that?

"Is it because my father was a good samurai and an assassin?

I was looking at the Marquis, by force between my eyebrows by accident.

"That's right. Because you and your father were former men who contributed to me. But you came here late...... you know the directive as [dark right hand] is absolute and you're back?

Master Huatos sharpens his fox eyes and stares at me.

"Yes."

"Quick answer… Have you, Yui, changed the atmosphere a little since you followed the spear man?

Come on, this guy.

Have you been discerning that you've had the first man you ever loved?

"... yes, no, just because some of my swords are impenetrable, I tasted them with my own hands."

"I see. I know that no one can escape your assassination in Thermalia.... After all, the spear man you were chasing was special."

"Yes."

"I express my contempt, my lord, are you forgiving me?

A skinny man, with cloudy gray eyes of goldfish sized colour, named Azekai, is advancing with his head down on the side of Huatos.

A native of an archipelago state and with a peculiar battle position of carcass demon, he is considered the chief executive of [the right hand of the dark].

"Of course, it's not easy to forgive"

Huatos throws parchment.

When I picked up that parchment, another assassination directive was written.

"If we do that directive, we'll allow it specially. You are the only survivor of Nebulos' Sanjie. [M] As an assassin, it's a shame to lose the arms of two swords that make you a bodyguard."

"Ha, thank you"

"... and the Nereiskali case went well."

The work seemed to have been carried out without me.

Indeed...... besides the usual members of Azekai and Lake, there are men and women standing behind them and in the right and left corners in front of them who appear to be strange manoeuvres.

I'm guessing the shadow people who newly hired into the organization.

I am also called Sanjie of Nebulos, because I am but one pawn.

"... I decide to think I hit a roadside stone about that spear man"

Master Huatos is in a good mood because of the good kidnapping of the princess.

The people of the Kingdom of Leften would not even think of the involvement of the Head of the Kingdom of Leften and the Marquis of Thermalia and Oseberia in the dew.

"That would be better. And it was a brilliant measure to take the Leften nobles into their hands."

It's a big man with a bald head named Lake who's lifting Huatos.

"Lake, your subordinates worked inside, too."

"Yeah, yes. The [knights of dusk] proud of Leften's [classified bureau] have also killed more than one of my hand-worked men... but managed to succeed. This is also the result of Your Excellency's reading and the exploitation in the middle. That's right, Thermaria has a wise man. The Marquis said there was nothing to compare to Thermalia."

Lake lines up his beauty phrase as he folds his smile on his eyeballs.

"Ha ha... well, I'm more confident than the Lorges, the Rasnes, the relics of the old generation are moving the timetable"

"Yes."

"The problem is more troublesome than the nobility of such a domestic elephant than the female fox outside the country, Chardonnay's..."

"... is it the kingdom of Osebelia, and it is true that the Dark Alliance was used for the work in the [towering neutral city of Sena Apua] by the Marquis?"

"That's right. It's definite information from [Rosen's Ring] and [The Gate of the Phantom]."

... Marquis of the Lady of Osebelia?

I guess she's quite a woman if she crosses with Huatos.

"Oh? Yui, are you there yet? Go back to your next job."

The Marquis never stares.

"Ha, excuse me"

Squeeze the parchment on which the target is written, and I immediately exit the room.

Exit from Master Huatos' grand mansion onto the main street.

The directive contained the names of certain merchants and escort adventurers.

Looks like a line of merchants from the islands.

Anyway, I need to do this assignment until my father is fully expedited...

To get to the mission land, press the contact magic tool switch to the bandit guild installed on the hanging bell in the harbor. Even when it comes to magic props, it just lights the magic fire into the sky.

While I rest at the terrace bar under the street house, I await word from the bandit guild user demon I know.

- Here we go. Raven Demon (Ougarun)

I stepped down on my desk.

"What da, yui, modotte, itanoca, Itsumono buddies, zeev, apo, dowcita?

The black cat that Shuya was carrying (Lolo) could not speak, but this raven (Ougarun) can convey her husband's words.

But just tell him, this raven has no consciousness.

"You two are dead, more than that, hiccup, shrimp, will you ask me to work again?

Speaking of which, use the target parchment to show it to the demon raven (Ougarun).

"... being in Omaega, failing Nim Sulthana"

"Fine, I'd be glad to see you like you used to."

"... Wakatta....... kickass koitzlaha, psychin, haba, il, it's shawkai na. Ibasho is a hal hilova, ningyo street, no, mukainial, new shii store da. Goeino, Na, the Dagael brothers. He's a lycanthrope. Tegoweizo"

"Shrimp is fast. It's okay to be strong. I'll handle it as quickly as I always do."

"... sooo, deha-"

The raven of the devil (Ougarun) went up into the sky.

Lycanslope, a clan of demons?

Transformation is troublesome, but even once you see it with these Baikara eyes, you should be able to take it down easily...

But this time alone. No Zeev is good at detecting signs, so we need to be careful.

I hope he's not someone like Shuya, but, like him, spears, no, demon spears, there can't be so many of them, too much thought.

All right, let's get rid of the Tagael brothers first.

The Chamber of Commerce Tuticado follows.

I run.

- We arrived at Puppet Street and quickly found out what store we were looking for.

is already active.

Check around the store without scratching......

Alleys to sneak in, stairs or not, windows or not, number of escorts, escape routes.

The Tagael brothers soon found out.

Although a large person has found a stuffed leather armor (studded leather), there is unusual hair growing from Lycanslope's distinctive armor.

I was able to check the moon mark on my forehead as well.

As it transforms, it can often be mistaken for a variant of the Leopard "Severka," but Lycanslope is a separate being.

Confirm target with Baikara's eyes.

It's late tonight.

………………

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

The lights of the moon illuminate the puppet city with the haunts.

I was running up to the red brown roof next to the target, wrapped around my body in demonic martial arts.

Landing in the ditch with a light jump from there, we arrive on top of the Chamber of Commerce mansion in Tuticado.

The two Lycanslope escorts stand at both ends of the door and watch the street.

I saw the target escort directly below from the edge of the roof.

- Kill.

Descend the Azeroth & Vassage blade tip downwards in a straight line.

One of the escorts, the two swords pierced and finished breaking Lycan's spine.

But the other escort reacts quickly.

Even when one of his brothers' cracks was killed, he was calmly pulling out his weapon and taking his distance.

"Who are you"

……

Activate Baikara's Eye again, just in case.

"- That eye, say -"

He was slashing half of Lycanslope's face.

The demon legs filled the time and cut him down from the pursuit sword at the vassage.

This is what happens when you talk in the middle of a fight.

You would have bought some time if you had transformed, stupid Lycan.

After that, if you play Tuticado, it's over.

Don't let Master Huatos lose his mood until his father is fully healed.

When it's fully healed...... I want to go after Shuya.

I want to see you, I want to see you... I feel like my heart has been compressed without my chest cut.

Break in through the entrance and exit next to the Chamber of Commerce with that in mind.

There are still boxes of products everywhere.

Shit, the servant-like women were still awake...

Hurry, hide and do it over.

I discovered a different bedroom at the end of the hallway.

Tuticado will be there.

When I walked into the room, there were four of us sleeping on the bunk.

... Two kids are sleeping.

Some people are seen as wives.

The request only said Tuticado of the Chamber of Commerce.

Just the Tuticado guy, his family... shouldn't have to kill him.

I... hesitate, are you there?

Confirm the phase that was in the directive.

This is him. He stuck Azeroth in the chest of a bearded ethnic man.

"... Daddy"

One of the kids woke up.

My eyes meet mine.

"Is that it?

He's a kid who looks like a man of his face.

We have to delude.

"... The Dark Tooth Fairy"

"Why are you here, Mr. Tooth?

"... I'm here to see if I'm sleeping properly, because if I don't meditate on your eyes, you'll pull out your teeth and you won't be able to sleep"

"All right, I'll catch my eye."

The child meditates his eyes......

I haven't noticed my father is dead.

The rule is that all witnesses must be killed.

But I can't do it now.

I used to kill women and children without question.

... Apparently, it's not the old me anymore.

I love Shuya, and I know how people pluck.

I hurried away from the spot.

Don't use escape routes, just like amateurs run and run......

When I realized it, I was crying.

Me, me, … maybe the assassin can't do it anymore.

He was running into Huatos' mansion wiping his tears.

From the Great Hall, open the office door and go inside.

"... Welcome back, I wonder if I did the assignment right"

"Yes, I tailored Brother Tagael, the escort, and the merchant who was the target of the Tuticad Chamber of Commerce."

"... yeah. Elisha, how was she?

What? Huatos turns his gaze behind me.

I turn around, too.

A black woman in a mask appeared from the shadows.

"Yes, I was quickly finishing without transforming the Lycan of the escort. That's right, the famous assassin in Thermalia... the chairman of the Tuticado Chamber of Commerce did not have any difficulty, but... even when his family saw him, he left him without killing him, because I followed him properly."

What, you killed those kids!

I stare at a black woman named Elisha.

"Oh, my God, those eyes, I followed you..."

"Well... my arms aren't dull. Yui, how did you miss this?

Turn to Huatos.

He stares at me with a tight, narrow eye.

I should have been more careful... there's no way he'd loosen up surveillance.

... Again, I'm a killer disqualified.

Will I be honest with you already?

"... because I didn't want to kill you"

When I said so, Huatos was surprised to see his fox eyes enlarged.

"I didn't know I could hear those words from you..."

"Dear Huatos, what will you do?

I was listening to Elisha in murderous terms.

"I missed my family, but I guess I did my job of killing them?

"Yes."

She is nodding and answering.

"Then let's not ask this time"

"... Ha"

She speaks out in dissatisfaction and looks at me.

I can't see him well in the mask, but he must be staring.

I hear Huatos will forgive you.

But... I can't feel safe.

His eyes are cold. He may grip weaknesses and torment us with power if there is anything else.

Come on, let's go back to my father.

"... Now if you'll excuse me"

"Oh, I'll issue the directive again, so I'll come back later..."

"Ha."

I leave immediately.

Left Huatos' mansion and returned home.

"Dad, I'm home."

"Welcome back, Yui"

It's my father. He picked me up standing up.

It doesn't change that I'm skinny, but it's my father.

- Dad.

"Ha, here... you're gonna break my dad's chest"

"Oh, I'm sorry"

I soon departed.

"You can get up now."

"Oh, my muscles are falling down on this street, so it's best to stand."

"But good, even if my life was just saved"

"Right. I'll tell you something more important than that."

My father had a sad face.

"What? But even though you're sick, you can still rest."

"No, I won't let my daughter strain me anymore.... I've been thinking about it since yesterday that I'm already going to throw away my name as a nobleman. And I'm going to put my life at risk and try to talk Master Huatos into pulling his hand from his daughter."

"What, you can't do that. He can't be convinced... even today with sharp fox eyes..."

When I cloud my words, my father gives me a far but harsh complexion back in the day.

"Did they do something!?

"Yeah, I'm not... I made a mistake with the assassination directive, I was entrusted with the job of salvage, and I've done it safely, but I still don't seem to have regained my credibility, and I looked stern"

"... Yui, pack your bags now..."

His father was blue-white in complexion, but furthermore, he spoke in a plundering voice, changing his depressing expression as he had blued his skin.

"What, why?

"There is no way Master Huatos will forgive anyone for making mistakes, no matter how talented they are..."

"But at the time of the assignment report today, Huatos goes unquestioned. He spoke clearly."

"It's to keep you alert, and if you find out I've recovered, you'll come to kill me."

What am I supposed to do with my father?

Shuya...... what shall I do?

"... but where are we going? This is like his garden, and Dad won't be able to move."

"... I thought I could buy some more time, I was an idiot... I'll stay here, you use the carriage behind you and head away from this king's capital to the cove of Fallen. There would have been a safe house in the jungle behind the cove full of ship wreckage."

"No, what are you talking about, because I cured your father!

"Yui. That's okay. The bloody Frogman family can dance now. You are an assassin, but a beauty beauty bearer, similar to my mother, Saki. There won't be a man in there who can outrun you, but if you find him... don't let him get away with it."

Father tries to leave the room in an attempt to crack down on a situation of persecution.

Don't poke me in the arm, stop.

My body is as light as a lie...... my legs are fluttering a little.

Father still can't......

"... I won't let you do anything unsolicited. Once upon a time, whoever scolded me should not have been the one to say such a weak thing. We head to Fallen's cove together. All right?

"But..."

"Gucci, it's annoying, we'll ride the carriage together with the pills we still have left."

"... haha"

Suddenly, Dad laughs with his eyes open.

"What?"

"No, that's annoying because he looked just like Saki... he said he was still a parent and kid"

"You bet, come on, I'll get you ready, help me"

"... I can't help it, suppose I ask for my daughter's instructions"

Put a lot of recovery potions I bought for my father's illness in the two backpacks.

There's food in the safe house, too, but just in case, I stuffed the food in the carriage, and my father got it on.

The horse seems to be doing well. I can run pretty good with this.

"- Dad, are you ready?

I get on the podium and then face behind my back.

"Oh, I still don't feel any signs around the house. We leave when the moon hides in the clouds. I'll take care of the timing."

"Yeah."

And the moment the moon hid in a big cloud - it moved the carriage.

Jump out of the attic at once and out into the street.

Head out to the east street and go for the east gate.

It is too late at night so there are few people, smoothly crossed the East Gate.

Dad, we're safely through the East Gate.

"All right, there's no sign of you following me behind my back either, run through the momentum of crushing the horse like this"

"I know. -"

Then all day and night, he moves his carriage east as he pinches his break and looks east at the coastline to his left.

After a while, he arrived at a safe house in the cove of Fallen, said to be the graveyard of the ship.

Fortunately, there doesn't seem to be a chaser.

One, two, five days and no one approaches the lair in the midst of the groves.

Father also takes medication, takes a medicinal herbal meal, provides muscle training, and returns to a healthy body excised.

It had been a long time since I had recovered by the time I could hold my weapon and make a bare gesture.

And since I don't have any, signs perception skills are also gaining sharpness, the enemy left it to his father.

I am an exorcism of monsters springing up in the neighborhood.

Sometimes from the ship's graveyard, there are monsters coming to the beach.

I was still on the beach, confronted by monsters.

A monster named Liuner with four red and black eyeballs, like a merger of fish and people.

Five-fingered sharp long claws are the main weapon.

Handle stretch free nails cleverly...... nasty opponent.

I stretched out the two nail swords in my five fingers and jumped again.

- However, from Azeroth & Vassage, he slashed and threw away the stretched nails, and before the nails were stretched, he kicked the beach with his demon legs and spun them all at once, cutting Ryoner's torso into one letter.

This is the tenth body.

Exactly. The other lyuners aren't coming this way anymore.

I could see him running away with his back to the shallow water.

to the wreckage of their dwelling vessel.

Defeating such a monster became routine, discussing the escape route around here with my father and setting a trap, and for about seven days I felt the thin green of a mindless stretch from a stump of trees, and the peace continued...... tomorrow.

During lunchtime, suddenly, my father, who was training, came into the cabin with a blue face.

"There's a lot of chasers, Master Huatos, they found out where we are..."

"What, there wasn't supposed to be any sign that you were being followed"

"Anyone who wears Hidden Beyond My Sign Detection will be wearing sesame seeds, so they must have been trained."

"Don't run away. Get out."

As I tried to head outside, a woman in black with the sword of the stripper broke into the room, dropping a jar of pottery and making a cracked noise.

I didn't make it......

"I wanted to be there, an escaped former assassin, his father, and a man who lived forever in the midst of it"

A woman wearing a white mask.

His first name was called to Elisha and Huatos.

"I won't let you do it."

"Hmm, lady, the assassination arm is there, but if you can't feel this difference in numbers, how could it have been Master Huatos' favorite? As well as a whore, he must have dedicated his poor body, but from now on, I will be a favorite of Master Huatos with strength, so what you're saying is that swords can only be used, stupid woman..."

The slurred woman treats the sword seeping through the black light like a leaf swaying in the wind, and, kicking, stretches out a blazing sword around my chest that makes a unique noise.

Hurry, flush the front sword with the Vassage's full body, while moving laterally.

"Chip, eat."

The woman pounds her tongue and moves behind a narrow cabin to avoid letting her take sides.

"Elisha, have you forgotten what Master Huatos said?

"Saizo... I know."

Ever since I had that conversation with my buddy who was behind me, I could see Elisha glancing at me with a blue eye under the mask... she leaves outside the cabin.

"Dad, it looks like we're completely surrounded."

"Oh, we're going to have to. … yet incomplete, but with me, there are moves that have crossed numerous battlefields. [Dark Right Hand] Then it's the man known as" The Shadow Ghost's Card ”. - Yui, we're gonna open the bloodstream."

Father waves a long sword in his hand vigorously.

Not until then, but enough, the sword muscle is sharp.

Reminds me of the days I had my archery done.

"Yeah, I checked the other day. It's fine with the escape route, right?

"Oh, it's a sailing trip through the sandy beach, via the village of Luja to the south"

Copy that.

Escape your father and the safe house from the hidden door on your back.

We broke into the groves scattering dust.

But one after another from among the trees emerges wearing black clothes.

I can't escape.

"Come on."

He stood alone with a kick of Azeroth,

"Give up."

The guy who slashed me from the other side had my father's throwing knife stabbed down between his eyebrows.

Stretch out the vassage sword that makes you imagine Shuya's spear collision as he packs his time with his demonic legs crawling through the ground, holding a spear close to him to pierce him from the opposite position.

Poked the heart of a spear-held heart, letting it despair.

"Good move."

"Father."

At first things went well, but the black-coated guys gather to surround them one after the other.

And I'm also curious that that woman, Elisha, hasn't shown up yet.

"Alas, even if the soldiers... run away, the sword's arms are still top notch, but the sword's muscles are getting dull, you can't hide your fatigue."

This voice is Elisha...... have you come?

"I'm bored! Just your mouth? You're not calling?

I returned it in an angry tone to Elisha's words.

"Wait... from that busy mouth, let him plead, let him humiliate you plenty, and then I'll kill you"

"Elisha, it's more than bullshit, it's work"

"Yes, sir."

Masked group that showed up with Elisha.

Hand to hand.

The masked man is a spear......

Shuya...... I want to see you...

"Yui, don't blur"

Divide left and right with my father's harsh voice.

My father moves as supple as a full season, walking back and forth with Elisha's sword and a sharp spear of spears.

"I'll take the end of the White-eyed Reaper!

To me a man with two swords in a mask was slaughtered screaming for such a thing. I'm going to do a rotary slaughter with the same skills as a dance slaughter.

- Alternatively extend the Azeroth & Vassage forward to prevent continuous rotary slashing blades.

I have prevented all sword attacks, I immediately activate the same skill.

Double knife strikes by Azeroth and Vassage as they rotate like pawns collide against a guy wearing a two-sword mask.

He had prevented the knife blade of continuous strike, just as I did, but there was a difference in the sword he had. Successfully slit the opponent's throat where the prevented body was shredded and the blade was broken.

He sank one of his maneuvers, but his father was wounded in the leg and was about to be pursued.

- Dad.

I immediately lay on my father's side, slapping Elisha's sword protrusion with a vasage to prevent a fatal assault.

"Chip, again"

Elisha doesn't seem to care if the sword protrusion has been prevented, and she is restarting her sword as she tongues again.

In the meantime, there has also been an increase in the number of executive classes wearing masks by one or two.

Me and my father confronted the enemies around us as we backed each other.

The opponent has narrowed the range of twists and turns.

Yui, I'm so glad we can fight together on our backs.

My father is trying to reassure me from over my back in a pressing situation.

"Father..."

My father and I spoke, but I said, Shuya... help me... where are you! and was shouting his empty thoughts at Shuya.

"That's what Master Huatos said... your abilities... eyes like Reaper's. That's a nasty eye... and you're moving sharply."

Elisha looks at my eyes and talks.

Shortly thereafter - a microscopic, no, unforgettable red edge line that I saw emerged in the woods.

What!?
