Chapter 6: Assassination (3)
Chapter 6: Assassination (3)
Understood. I know what the answer is that that assassin told me.
That b*stard. There was no one behind me to begin with. If there was i wouldve seen, but i couldnt, and only felt because assassinations skill was strong, far above my ability to see through them.
As I finally figured out, out, the corners of my mouth curled of its own accord.
[Goddess who sees destiny says that she is thrilled by your wicked smile]
Hm? What the hell.?
While I didnt understand what she said for a while.
Sorry, sir. Pardon us. .
I will make sure my sisters educated. So please forgive her this one time.
P-please
Ah! I forgot.
Two women with identical faces, twins still kneeling down and apologize, with their faces turning white.
Im feeling sorry for no reason. I gently put my hand on the shoulder of the woman I presumed to be the older sister.
I spoke in a very kind voice.
No, Im sorry for bumping your shoulder too. I think your young sister is fine as she is.
Eh. Im the younger sister.
Ah, yes. Anyway, Im sorry too.
The two women look at each other with bashful expressions on their faces.
I got up and walked away again before those twins started again.
Glancing at the two women for a moment, they look at me with a look of relief and breathe a sigh of relief.
Master Kane, what should we do with them?
Hm? What shall I do with them? Leave them as they are. I bumped into them because I was thinking of something else.
Her eyes widened at my acknowledgement of my mistake.
[The Goddess of Destiny sees you have a sliver of conscience, which again amazes me]
I beg you to go away . The words came up to my throat, but I swallowed again.
If you think about it, that constellation will not remember me, but before I died, she clearly sent me a message that she was disappointed in me.
I wanted to curse her, but I thought it wouldnt do any good if she were to take an extra interest, so I pretended I didnt see anything and ignored it.
And so we arrived at Davids family mansion .
It was no different from the previous time until we entered the mansion.
But, at the entrance, many butlers and maids bow down and greet us.
And in there, the one who assassinated me in the previous episode was also there.
-I guess the present situation is not quite the same as the previous episode.
From memory, I certainly never saw the butlers and the maids greeting me so side by side at the entrance.
Because I bumped into someone earlier?
Then it makes sense that a side effect had happened. In the previous episode, as soon as they left the hideout, time ran out of delay, whereas now we are a little late because I got bumped with the twins earlier.
Is it because the butlers and the maids werent ready last time?
While I am so deeply distressed. Behind me, Riche whispers so that only I can hear.
Master Kane, is something wrong?
No, Im just thinking. Lets go to my room quickly.
Saying this, I stepped towards my room.
When the maids and butlers bowing at the entrance were gradually leaving the room. I pointed with my hand at the assassin.
Tell me about that guys identity.
Um, Im not sure, because Im not from the David family.
I know youre Riche. Just say it.
?!
As I revealed her identity, Rich stopped walking . Her face turns white as she froze.
I-i -
When she bowed her head with an apologetic look and tried to apologize. I cut off the words quickly.
I dont need to apologise. Im sure my father made you do it. More importantly, tell me about that guys identity.
Yes, I understand. The one the Boochan pointed to is a man called Birg, who has just joined Davids family as a butler.
And then?
From what I can hear, he is someone who passed his exams at the top of his class, is 25 years old, is 173 cm tall and weighs 65 kg with a talent for assassination.
Birg- name sounds familiar to me.
As I listened to Riches words and thought long and hard about it, it reminded me of the villainous organization in the game.
-The Church!
In the setting, its an organization that tries to bring down a constellation, but in reality, theyre just a bunch of guys who are crazy about killing.
It may have been created for such a purpose before, but the officials and members who are in this organization now are the only ones who joined to commit murder.
I certainly remember the name Birg as one of the members.
Of course, I forgot about him because he wasnt one of the leaders. He was just a regular member.
How can anyone remember all the game settings in the first place?
Thats not whats important anyway.
Why would they want to kill me?
Its true that they enjoy killing. That doesnt mean theyre ignorant.
Ah! Kane, you b*stard.
After a moment, like a light bulb turned on my head, it occurred to me why they would want to kill me.
Kane, it must be obvious that when this dog-like guy was running the shadow land guild, he was in separate contact with the guys from the Church.
And the Church folks were trying to cut their tails off, in case the information would leak out.
In the end it means I am cleaning up Kanes shit again.
How much poo has this guy left?
No, this is a diarrhea level.
Thanks to Kane, Ive been hit twice.
I shook my head as I realised the cause of this situation.
Riche, who was watching it from nearby, bowed her head with a very apologetic look on her face, probably thinking it was her fault.
Its not your fault, so dont worry.
Yes
For now, why dont you go and do what you have to do separately. I have some thinking to do in my room. Dont let anyone in.
Okay, Boochan.
With these words, Riche vanished instantly.
For someone who isnt an assassin. Very fast.
Philippe approached me just as she was disappearing.
Boochan. Ive prepared hot spring water and alcohol.
Right. Good work. Now do whatever you have too.
Philip flinched at my words, but I ignored his reaction and strode to my room.
Arriving at my room, I opened the door.
lets have a quick check.
I went into the room, and searched for everything under the bed, the closet, the desk, the bedding, etc.
But, contrary to my expectations, I did not find a wiretap device.
Im sure there must be one.
I dont know much about the Birg, but the assassins of the Church are very thorough
Not only that, but obviously the last time I went to the toilet, Birg followed me at the right moment.
All this makes it certain that there is at least a wiretap device in the room.
With this in mind, I rummaged around in the pillows.
Found it!!!
When I actually lay down, I didnt notice it because of the cotton, but when I looked directly into it like this, there is a particularly fine and hard part.
Still, lets take it out, just to be sure.
While unzipping the pillow, I checked inside.
Inside there was cotton that looked fluffy and a black machine the size of a finger tip inside.
I knew this, this is it at a glance. Lets try not to break it for now.
The moment I break this, that guy will rather realise that Ive noticed.
I have to use it against him.
I put the listening device back in the pillow and switched on the status window.
David von Kane.
Age: 20 years old.
Attributes: Game-setting ability, Death regression.
Talents: none.
After choosing the game-setting ability, I turned on the cash shop this time.
An item in the system window appeared in front of me.
Hmm, what should I buy?
With that in mind, I lowered the scroll in the cash shop.
[The goddess who sees destiny is interested in your odd behavior].
It seems the constellation cant see the system window either.
Well, I expected that. In the first place, the regression ability comes out of the system, but seeing that it also affects the constellations, it would be rather odd to see it.
But I dont see anything to buy with my points thats reasonably good.
Its a situation where all I can actually do is window shop, because I have too few points to actually buy anything.
HmmmI wonder if any good items I can find.
I scroll down now, with no expectations, and I find something I never thought Id find.
Thatll do.
Dressed as a butler, Birg entered his room at break time.
He took a communication ball out of his desk drawer.
Right. How did It go?
Yes. David von Kane survived.
This is unexpected, I didnt think that good for nothing would survive.
What are you going to do about it? If we leave it as it is, it could be revealed to the David family.
A senior church official slowly opened his mouth.
Yes, No other way. Kill David von Kane today.
Yes, I understand.
With these words, communication ceased. Birg put the dagger in his pocket for the perfect assassination.
Hmm by the way, how did that ruffian Kane survive?
Indeed, from what I heard is that Kim Soo Yeon was destroying the shadow guild run by Kane.
As soon as I heard that, I was convinced.
-David von Kane would die today.
To be honest, Kim Soo Yeon is one of the most famous adventurers and specially chosen students of the Leiston Academy these days.
On the basis of simple skills alone, it would be near impossible for him to win against average members of the church.
Therefore, Kanes shadow guild thought he would be beaten to death and die by Kim Soo Yeons sword, but today he came back as if nothing had happened.
Did Kim Soo Yeon pity him?
Then it makes sense. From what Ive heard, Kim Soo Yeon seems a bit soft.
Given that Kane and Kim Soo Yeon are both academy students, it is not surprising that he might forgive him.
The fact that Kane is a son of the David family probably played a part.
Im glad we installed a wiretap beforehand, just in case.
I put a bug on Kanes pillow in case there were any variables I hadnt anticipated, but I didnt realize how useful it would be.
So lets see what the target is doing now.
Birg took a crystal ball out of his inside pocket . He infused mana in it.
Kanes hoarse voice began to be heard from the crystal ball.
Sh*t what do I do now?
From the first word, his voice was full of worries.
From the reactions, it was clear that the shadow guild had been wiped out, just as the assassins of House David had said.
Birg pricked up his ears.
I sure as hell am going to be kicked out of the family if I dont do something about it now.
Still, he seems to know what situation he himself is in at the moment. Normally, he would have just been drinking recklessly at the moment.
Hmm Wait! I dont think Id be kicked out if I told my dad the information about the church.
Hearing Kanes words, Birgs narrow eyes narrowed even further.
I have to kill this guy at any cost, after all.
If we leave him like this, information about us will leak out.
Hmm for now. Ill have to talk to him tomorrow. Nevertheless, Im tired today. I should call Riche.
I have to kill him tonight. If he had tried to talk to his family today, I would have killed him right now, even if I had to take the risk, but, like a brat, he didnt think ahead and postponed.
Just as Birg was about to turn off his crystal ball, thinking that he didnt need to hear any more.
Riche. Sleep with me today.
