Chapter 25: … What happened? (1/2)

Chapter 25: … What happened?

I return to the inn.

Of course, the assassin onee-san is not there.

The moment you wake up there is no restraints and moreover there was no one on the lookout, there is no one who wouldn’t run.

I throw myself on the bed and go 大. The ends of my hands and legs can’t reach the edges of the bed at all.

In the past I took this posture a lot when I fell in deep thinking. And I also fell asleep in the middle of it a lot. Well, I am digressing though.

My body buries deeply into the mat and on the contrary it actually made me restless.

It’s my first time having such luxurious thoughts.

Rinon is not here. ‘I will return to my house for a second’ is what she said and left just like that.

It must be a lie. To a house where her sister is not in, for her to go back there, I can’t believe it.

I am now lying down here while spreading a movement [Sakai] to follow her. The maryoku can’t be felt and they are unable to detect my presence.

The current Rinon has met with people a few meters away from the inn, at this distance I can hear their conversation perfectly if I just concentrate.

The power that I received from Tsukuyomi-sama is truly useful. That I don’t understand the theory sometimes hurts me though.

—

“So, did you get their background?”

Rinon shakes her head horizontally.

“No, the only thing I could get was that he is the heir of some company” (Rinon)

“What is that? There is no difference from the information that the merchant guild has”

What did these guys expect? You really think I would tell everything to a kid that I have just met? Are these guys idiots?

“B-But. Because the carriage got attacked I haven’t had many chances to talk with him” (Rinon)

“Now that you mention it, the one that got captured had returned. We are washing her to check for magic and trickeries but nothing is coming out. What does this mean?”

“By the time I woke up in the morning the two girls he had with him were already gone. And then I went with onii-chan to the commerce area” (Rinon)

“Companions huh. They were people that had bizarre levels. I don’t know if they had an order of silence but it makes my eyebrows sweat. And?”

… I see, so they do silence people huh. And eyebrows sweat. Certainly…

For now I am happy that not much of the information has been leaked out.

“The onee-chan that was sleeping on the bed, by the time we returned she was not there anymore” (Rinon)

“Ha~”

“And then I told him that I would return to my house for a bit” (Rinon)

“What a blockhead that youngling is. Without any restrains and with no lookouts”

Shut up. I feel a bit happy that you are believing all this but it somehow pisses me off.

But well, looking at the appearance of Rinon and the attitude of the man, maybe he is really the ‘can’t be saved at all’ type?

“Hmph, about the cargo, did you hear anything about it?”

“That is… I don’t understand it well” (Rinon)

“Ah~ its okay, just talk”

“From here you travel 2 to 3 days and you will be enveloped by a deep mist where there is a settlement of mamono. He said he got it from them” (Rinon)

“…”

“I-I’m serious! That is what onii-chan said! That he didn’t care about the price!” (Rinon)

Rinon must have felt some danger in the silence of the man, she desperately tried to explain it to him. Those two are not in a friendly relationship. That much I can tell.

“That he didn’t care about the price?”

“He said that they were dreamlike stuff so it was fine if they can be sold. The old men in the commerce area said that they would buy it for 500 gold coins” (Rinon)

“500?!”

The voice of the man turns inside out. He is totally a person of low level.

“Y-Yeah” (Rinon)

“The lowest of the lowest price was that. These may be incredible people. But, 500 gold huh”

A vulgar expression begins to surface from the man. I could tell that Rinon was disgusted.

At any rate, the lowest of the lowest huh. And it’s that amount of gold. How frightening. Is there another way they can use it aside from selling them at a high price for being new products?

“Hey, hey~! Let me meet onee-chan! If I let you hear about a lot of things you would let me meet her right?!” (Rinon)

“Oi oi, those are words that you should say after properly doing your job right? With just this you will never be able to meet your sister”

… Thrash.

Capturing a small kid and making her do stupid jobs.

My killing intent rises.

I am seriously thinking if I could shoot him with magic from this point.

I can do it.

Lets do it.

I begin the aria. And then rethink it.

Tch, if I do it now Rinon will see someone dying in front of her. To suddenly see someone dying in front of you, it might become a trauma.

Damn it, you slightly got away with your life.

Rinon sticks to the guy and asks over and over. I breathe in deeply in order to suppress the killing intent that was slowly rising again.

“If you insist so much you leave me with no choice. Do one last job. Then I will return you your onee-chan. I will also forget about your debt”

Debt huh. It must be dirt cheap loose change for him.

“!! You are able to do something like that?!” (Rinon)

“Yeah~, its easy. You accept?”

The man who suggested that was a limitless low –life.

Of course Rinon can’t refuse.

But…

I dissolve my [Sakai]

I already know the result. I didn’t want to hear the words directly after all.

If what he said is true then Rinon’s onee-san is probably still alive.

If it turns out to be a lie I would turn it into a ‘my first torture’ and ‘my first murder’ combo.

It’s not like I want to support Tomoe but I think I might act a bit violently, so I close my eyes in order to rest.

This will be after my two followers return. There is nothing else to do right now.

And when I think about Rinon, it must be more beneficial for her if she finds me sleeping.

Soon it will be 45 minutes.

I breathe in deeply and fall asleep.

—

Noisy.

Ah, I see. I was sleeping, right.

Is Rinon okay?

Honestly, I was thinking of what to do with her from now on.

If my followers bring me the information by the time I woke up.

And Rinon is ‘still alive’, I plan on going a bit wild.

If ‘She is not’ then I am going extremely wild.

“N, morning”

I look at my surroundings. There are four people.

This is, fumu, for a ‘first episode’ it’s a happy development.

Tomoe, Mio, a woman that looks the same as the portrait and Rinon.
