I went to the hunter's guild of the Makau City to make some money.
I'll stay here and take on these missions to make some money to bring back home.
I've made alot by taking missions and killing monsters.
And i intend to do that.
"Hey... are you single?"
Huh? I was never asked such a question.
This women... isn't she... The 2nd daughter of the queen?
She... used to be so sweet and kind, what happened to her.
Angleria.
Your hair used to be Orange right?
So why did it turn Red?
I'd have never recognised her, if it weren't for the skill i have... that nobody knows about.
I had this skill hidden so, nobody would know that i had it.
"Hey! Don't ignore me like that."
She said playfulky with a grin on her face.
What happened to that innocent women? What's she doing flirting with me?
Does she not-
Wait... don't tell me.
[Class - Assassin (Previous - Knight)]
She trained so hard, she went from a simple knight to an assassin Knight.
Assassin?
So... she's the first one haa?
"Heyyy! Handsome. Tell me, are you single?"
She's the first assassin they sent?
She seems to have gone through regorous training too.
"I am single."
I gave a nonchalant reply.
"That's so good to hear, so would you mind letting me join your party? I'm desperately looking for a strong and handsome man to help me with my journey."
She said as she grabbed my arm and pressed her chest against me.
"I.. I see, Wow... Ahm, I see... Ahm fine. I'll let you... ahm join my party."
i said... as if i was completely entranced by her beauty.
I'm sure she came to assassinate me, it's better to have her next to me so i can be cautious of her than let her surprise attack me on every occasion.
She used the word 'Handsome' towards me making her an enemy instantly.
Why you ask? I set that kind of an image of me.
A man confident in his looks even though I'm somewhat ugly.
Also, someone who's very awkward with women.
Making me a sort of a pushover of sorts.
"Oh my! How Wonderful. I look forward to working with you."
I can't believe how hard she's trying to suppress her killing intent as she gripped my arm.
Though, it's quite nice having 'that' pressed against my arms.
Well... all that suffering was worth it afterall.
"Likewise."
I said in reply.
"So? Where are we headed?"
"Probably near Josel town's grand Forest. It's a well paying job... Thought I'd take it. What about you."
I asked her, in a somewhat casual tone.
"Well... I'll go wherever the party leader takes me."
"Since I'm letting you travel with someone as handsome as me, I'll be taking 30% of your share of monster killing money."
For a second i could feel an intense dearh glare coming from her which soon flashed into an honest smile.
"Ofcourse, It's the least i could do... being with a man as handsome as you."
"It's nice that you know your place."
Saying that to a dropdead beauty while looking like a goblin was cringeworthy but... it cannot be helped.
I don't think with them around, I can take out as many monsters as i usually do because they'll get in the way.
And, i need the money for after i die... I have to leave something for my sister, mother and father.
"Well than, let us depart."
"Yes, Towards the great forest."
...
My journey would start here.
"Weird... you didn't ask for my name."
3 year, I wanna have as much fun as i can in this 1 year while surviving the onslaught from her and the one's who come after her.
"Aah... yes, How could i forget such an obvious thing... What's your name?"
In this 3 year, I'll try and traverse the entire world and get rid of all the trash that i possibly can.
"Hehe, It's Algeria."
Than take care of the demon lord and Finally rest in piece.
Go to another world and find someone who'll love me.
Hmm... so, it's the same name. Didn't change it, haa!
"What a sweet name."
Right now... we were going to the great forest of Josel.
The reason was because there were reminiscent of the evil lord and someone else was causing meyham.
I'll use every bit of my remaining years to gather as much evidence as possible and destroy every trashy company, firm or noble's palace if need be.
To wipe this world of filth.
But, than at some point someone else will grow and start doing the same things again.
That i cannot allow, for that... they need to know what a single man did.
What he did to wipe out the entirety of noble's Corruption and turned the world upside down.
They should be afraid of doing anything bad to anyone.
And, people need a hero... so they can willingly fight bad guys.
But, what i do need right now is evidence.
Evidence of the crimes comitted by those bastards.
I don't know if i can trust those hero's party members anymore.
It's been a while since they started investigating things.
It makes no sense for them to not have atleast found a single piece of evidence.
They have probably betrayed the world. If they have, i can't get my revenge.
If need be, if they turn out to be evil.. I'll kill them myself.
I'm not afraid of heing deemed an International criminal.
I have no family according to records.
They have nothing they can take away from me, much less hurt my parents.
"You... sure have been awefully quite. What are you thinking about."
She grew closer, and than tapped her nose against mine.
Startled, i pushed myself back.
She gave a smug look and than got closer.
"Heh... are you thinking about how to kill another person again?"
She aksed in a barely audable voice.
"Huh?"
I gave a questionable look and than she smiled and said.
"I'm asking you are you thinking up strategies to kill monsters in your head?"
Are you trying to get caught??
"Aah! yes, that's right."
"Ofcourse i am... I am good at this sort of stuff you know."
For a second... her eyes were filled with killing intent.
And yet, she somehow suppressed it at the last moment.
If i weren't so sensitive, I'd have never noticed.
If it weren't for this extra sensitivity skill, I'd nave never picked it up.
She's already doing her best suppressing her disgust and hatred for me.
You loved your father so much haa?
That's why... i couldn't forgive him.
Having such lovely daughters, yet he turned out to be a piece of trash.
"Aah... look we are here!"
aah... we had reached our destination.
...
"Well that's a swarm of monsters."
"They sure look strong."
"Well... shall we?"
"Ofcourse."
She said as she leapt forward anf started oblideratibg the opponents one after the other with her swordplay mastery.
She was insanely strong, So strong that i was being held back.
But... well i wasn't being serious so ofcourse.
But, well if i didn't get serious... i might lose valuable money.
I'd better be serious... even if just a little bit.
And, so i swiftly started destroying enemies using powerful blows while exploiting their weaknesses.
I can't get too serious because i Don't exacy wanna give her an idea of how strong she is.
"Boss! They are too weak... is there a catch here?"
She asked me a bit puzzled.
"I usually take these kinds of missions... To kill more monsters and earn more money."
"With your power... can't you just beat an S rank monster every hour?"
"Tsk tsk tsk... how foolish."
I said, and i was returned with a death glare with immense killing intent.
She did that for a bit, this time letting it show fully.
She probably thought, it was fine to do it this time... because i slurred insults at her.
"Please refrain from using such words against women like me. I hate slur words."
"How upstanding, I like that. I might jyst marry you if you are willing."
I said... with a smile on my face and than started getting as red as a tomato.
Because... I'm not supposed to be someone who should say such things.
Yes, i do like that part about her.
I shouldn't have said such things
"..."
"umm... you see... well, I was joking haha Just joking."
"Ofcourse... if you want i wouldn't mind marrying you."
She said and got closer to me and than grabbed me and pulled me closer.
"A man as handsome as you, shouldn't be saying such things."
"Eek!"
I suddenly moaned like a women, Unaware of her manliness.
But than...
*Stab*
Shit... i let my guard down.
I could feel immense killing intent from her as i fell unconcious.
Or so, i acted like i did.
...
*Thud*
"Haa..."
*Smack* *Smack* *Smack*
"Fucking piece of trash"
*Smack* *Smack* *Smack*
"How dare you call me foolish???"
Aah... so, that's what got her irritated.
*Smack* *Smack* *Smack*
"And than... you dare... a commoner like you dares ask my hand in marriage? Me? to a piece of trash Murderer like you? HUH????"
*SMACK* *SMACK* *SMACK*
"Just you wait... Once all 15 of us gather... Just 1 more year, Maximum 2 more years until the evidence is gathered and you will dieeeee! I and every last women you have made suffer. They'll drag you through the ends of earth and destroy you completely."
I see... so they will wait until they have gathered enough evidence, paint me as a criminal and than kill me.
That's good... i was feeling omnious As to why they didn't attack me yet.
"We'll not kill you there... No, you made us suffer by destroying our lives. You killed our fathers. You will die but... the endless torture you will go tbrough in our hands..."
The reason why she couldn't make out if i was asleep or not was because... i was in a semi concious state.
I was... outside of my body.
So my body is breathing due to the brain but it has no emotions driven by the soul.
With the soul gone, it's neither concious nor unconcious.
It cannot wake up, but i am not at sleep either.
This is one of the skills i attained while on my journey to the north with the hero's party.
[Skill - Soulless]
Those were some fun memories... even though i was mostly alone.
It was still something i hold dear to me.
I hope... even if they kill me in the end do not betray the country.
They are the heroes that will begin the new age afterall.
As i was in deep thought, i realised that she'd stopped hitting me.
She cluched her head, as she was sobbing uncontrollably.
I felt my heart sink as i watched her cry like that.
"Why! Why did you kill my father? Why??? WHYYYYYY???"
he had prejudice against commoners, he was a slave trader, no he owned a market that used slaves from every single race.
Msuggled them, for sick games, scandals and whatnot.
He Mass murdered an entire population because they were against the noble order.
He with the other nobles pinned my father as an international traitor and called him a devil.
Driving him into a vedge.
Than placed a curse on him and his wife my mither.
With the help of... the demon lord.
You... when did you start seeing commoners differently?
What was the whole thing about...
Are you turning like your father?
No... she's still kind towards everyone.
When we were going around town she helped alot of people.
Most of them were commoners.
I know her... She's not the kind of person to do that.
I was 17 when i first saw her and she was 13.
Right now... I'm 25 and she's probably around 21.
She's still the kind hearted Algeria i always knew.
She kept sobbing... until she finally calmed down and started violently slapping me to wake me up.
"Boss! Boss! Boss!
she shouted until i finally found the right time to wake up and looked at her.
"Aah... algeria. What happened to me?"
"You... suddenly fell unconcious... I was so worried."
She said as she hugged me.
Her acting... Why's it so good?
Weren't you beating me up just moments ago?
You... were a good actor as a child... but now you are a 1st class actor.
Even good actors would probably look at you in awe.
"I'm fine now."
Seizing the opportunity i hugged her too.
Well you were doing it anyway, how about i take you up on the offer.
I actually need a hug right now.
"Aah..."
She backed away... Looking startled.
Well... that was to be expected.
You can hug people willingly but whrn someone touches you like that you probably won't like it.
"Aah... I'm sorry, I'm not used to getting hugged by a man."
She said, in an awkward tone.
Blushing from ear to ear.
If it weren't for the faint killing intent coming out of her... I'd have completely believed it.
You... Just how hard did you work for you to become like this.
"... It's fine."
"L... Let us go to the town, We need to find an inn aswell before it's too late too."
"Aah... yaa, we need a place to sleep don't we?"
I forgot about that... there's no way a women would be willing to sleep in a tent, she'd obviously need a bed...
Especially since she's a princess.
Well... we made alit anyway.
And, i also get 30% of her rewards so who cares no?
