Chapter 395 – Too Much Talk

000

Sasha took the hand of the woman she had saved and made her way out of the empty alley into the street.

The crowd of people trying to find a place to watch the victory parade flowed like a river in one direction, obstructing Sasha and her woman’s footsteps in her.

“I’m sorry! I’ll pass!”

As Sasha stirs between people with her hand her, she desperately moves to escape the scene of her crime her (?).

‘Cleon… Are you okay? First of all, I have to move this person to a safe place.’

She has no regrets for disposing of her trash for a moment, but seeing her her blood her makes Sasha a little agitated.

As her head her spins dizzily, as she quickens her steps—

“Uh, over there…!”

Hearing a voice from behind her, he stopped and looked behind her. There, Sasha’s fast paced woman caught her hand her and followed her. I noticed that her face turned red.

“Oh, oh, sorry!”

Sasha, then realizing that he was carrying her away her as if he had kidnapped her, holding her hand her tightly, she let go of her hand in astonishment.

“Daddy, I had no idea but to get out of there quickly… Gwa, are you okay?”

As Sasha leans over her back in her cold sweat, her woman takes a deep breath as well, evening her breath her.

She talks because she is barely able to speak.

“Oh, it’s okay… Joe, a little… I’m surprised…”

Her panting figure her, in harmony with the voluptuousness of her body her, expresses a strange sexiness.

Even Sasha sweats from her breastbone her, and she swallows her saliva involuntarily at the sight of her figure her, where the lines of her body her become more exposed through her tight-fitting clothes her.

[Hahang~ You’re a fairy. This woman.]

[Shh! Excuse me! Don’t come out and say such things by mistake!]

After roughly scolding her Ruben for talking crap on the inside, Sasha talks her out of her.

“I was going to find the owner of the cat. Something, it looks dangerous… “

“Ah, ah… That’s… Thank you. I went around looking for the Bahamut who suddenly ran away… As you can see, I got lost because of these eyes…”

“Ba, Bahamut…? Is that the cat’s name?”

Sasha seemed a little taken aback as she looked at the cat with a grander name than she thought, but the woman nodded her head.

The cat too, as if she was right, purred once again with a ‘nya-‘.

“Whoa… I’ve calmed down a bit. Bahamut is a smart kid, so he rarely runs away…”

A woman talks while stroking her head of her cat in her arms her.

“As if he noticed something, he ran…”

“Meow.”

Whether or not Bahamut is aware that he has troubled his master his, he just cries while rubbing his head as if leaning on his master’s hand his.

“Thank you for visiting.”

When the woman bows down to greet her, Sasha shakes her hand, reminding her that she can’t see her eyes.

“It’s okay! And, it’s not me who found it, it’s Mr. Cleon.”

“Cleon… I have to thank him too. Is he also there? He’s not saying anything…”

“Oh, no… Mr. Cleon is somewhere else. Something a little different happened…”

Sasha wonders what to do now as she realizes that her eyes can’t really see.

Now that Cleon is fighting an assassin, he’d better go back quickly if he’s going to help.

Now, if she was left alone, the same thing as before would happen again.

At the point of finding her cat, she had no reason to associate with her.

So, she’s not falling for her-

[Sasha! Back!]

While thinking that, at Ruben’s voice her suddenly ringing in her head her, Sasha quickly circled behind her and pulled out her dagger.

Caang! When she heard that, a man in a suit pulled out the wrist blade from the back of her arm and attacked Sasha.

“Chit… It feels good. Is it a beast after all…!”

The man in the suit was glaring at Sasha, who blocked her own sword while clicking her tongue with a grotesque mask on her face.

“Ah, assassin…!”

Sasha is baffled that her assassin came for her instead of targeting Cleon, but she quickly raises one of her legs her, and she kicks the man in the chin.

“Cheuk!”

The man, perplexed by Sasha’s quicker and sharper movements than he expected while staying close her, allowed her to strike and staggered back behind her.

“Muh, what’s going on?”

When Sasha glances back at the woman’s voice her, she sees the woman who has shrunk back from the sudden uproar.

“Oh, it’s okay. Joe, I’m having a bit of trouble…”

“Chi-it… It was a strategy to attack the man’s co-workers and use them as hostages. Now that it’s like this, I’ll have to kill him to make up for the loss.”

At his words her, Sasha narrowed her brows, grabbed her dagger with her back and took a stance.

[He’s a guy who speaks well. Are you really an assassin? That guy.]

[There are a lot of words, but I think I have skills…]

Saying that, Sasha’s arm her, even after blocking her wrist blade earlier, still had a tingling feeling and was trembling.

[Are you going to shift? I can kill you soon.]

At Ruben’s words, Sasha looked around for a moment.

The crowd around them watched from a distance, amazed to see Sasha and the man start a battle.

“What, what? A fight? Among adventurers!”

“That man suddenly saw a beast girl…”

“Is it beast hunting!?”

Something, she seemed a little misunderstood, but Sasha swallows her gulp.

[Killing is not a good decision.]

[Well, that’s right, claiming that it’s self-defense is troublesome. If so, is it suppression? It is difficult for me.]

When the sound of giggling laughter echoes in her head her, Sasha sighs and leans over her body her.

“There’s a lot of commotion around here, so the guards will come… Well, most of the guards are near the castle, so it will take a few minutes to get here, but in the meantime you-“

“There-“

To the man who was about to say something again, Sasha quietly opened her mouth.

Sasha’s body her as she lowered her body, lifted her head and looked at the man, was like a beast on the verge of her hunt, about to pounce on her prey her.

“How long have you been saying that? Do you have no intention of fighting?”

“… Cheeky bitch!”

At Sasha’s provocation, the man easily gets enraged, draws his sword in both hands, and jumps forward.

‘As expected, it’s fast…!’

Sasha could feel according to her instincts that the man was quite capable as an assassin, except for his soft-spokenness of his.

It was to the point that even Sasha, who had excellent senses, could not have noticed the unexpected blow from earlier without Ruben notifying her.

‘…But, it’s okay…! Thinking of the training with Cleon. This much!’

As Sasha channels her magical energy into the imprint of her eye her, her senses her become sharper, and she feels as if time around her is slowing down.

When the hunter’s imprint has the ability to enhance her senses her, the five senses become sharp enough to burn her nerves her and convey all the information about her surroundings her to Sasha.

Enemy gaze, breath sounds, moving muscles, weapon trajectories.

After putting all of that into her head her, Sasha’s body her stretched and kicked her to the ground, leaving an afterimage of her her.

She moves as if she were drawing a semi-circle around her foe her, and in an instant escapes the trajectory of the assassin who was targeting her.

However, the enemy, though sloppy in appearance, is a pro at assassination, following Sasha’s swift movements her with her eyes her, turning her her body her, one of the swords in her wrists to defend, the other to attack. Is to use

Apart from the melee dagger she was holding, Sasha took out the throwing dagger she had hidden at her waist her with one hand and threw it in a straight line.

“Fair tricks!”

When the man swung the wrist blade he had prepared for defense and tried to knock the dagger off—

[Right.]

When she hears the snapping of her fingers her in her head her.

From the dagger that the man struck, a silver aura burst out.

“What!?”

When the man panicked, the silver aura became like a rolling fog—no, an illusion with a shape.

Its shape is the face of a ferocious wolf. It opened its mouth wide and rushed to bite the man’s wrist.

“Cheet… You’re really good at it!”

The man had no choice but to swing his other arm and cut off the ghost of the wolf that jumped out.

That meant that he showed her side her to Sasha.

“…I got a thigh!”

When Sasha said so, she slashed the man’s thigh with her own dagger, avoiding her vital blood vessels so as not to kill him.

“Keugh…!”

As his blood drains, the man loses the ability to feel any sensation other than pain in his left thigh.

Even with strength, only blood would flow out, and it would be impossible to support the body.

If the man’s body collapsed powerlessly, Sasha could be said to be cruel, but immediately, he kicked the injured part of the man and completely knocked him over.

It is to cut the string holding the weapon attached to the wrist to release it.

“I-I lost to a kid like this…”

“Be fortunate that Mr. Cleon is not your opponent. If it had been Mr. Cleon instead of me, you would have been seriously injured.”

At her words, the assassin gnashed his teeth and fell to the ground.

“…Uh, uh… Is it… Done? Are you okay?”

At that time, when Sasha heard a woman’s voice, she turned around.

She approached Sasha cautiously, her voice concerned her sounding that she had n’t hurt her.

Even though she can’t see her eyes her, it’s thanks to Bahamut that she can tell Sasha’s direction her.

The cat climbed out of her arms her, approached Sasha, and licked Sasha’s finger her.

“Yes, I’m fine. There are no wounds…”

“I see… You seem to be being targeted by an assassin… Maybe I can help-“

The moment she said that and came to Sasha’s side of her.

“Kuhuhh…!”

Hearing the sound of sudden laughter, the man who had been knocked down jumped up and stood up.

“So…!?”

I’m sure he made it impossible to apply strength to his legs her and disarmed him.

When Sasha thinks about that and tries to get away from him at the sudden action of the man.

The man, as it were, grabbed the woman’s neck with one hand and placed the tips of her fingers on the white nape of her neck.

“Kyaaak…! Black…!”

Her neck her was tightly gripped and her breathing her became difficult. The woman struggled to escape, but she seemed unable to release the restraint her with her own strength her.

Those fingers her, which had grown to such an extent, were glowing in black.

From the assassin’s mouth, some purple liquid was pouring out.

‘…Could it be that he hid something like medicine in his mouth his…?’

I don’t know if it’s a pain reliever that stops the pain or a kind of recovery medicine.

Seeing that the eyes are bloodshot red, the exposed part of the skin is strangely discolored, and the blood vessels are protruding, I wonder if it is a stimulant.

“Eh, just in case… I hid the medicine in my molars. It’s all right…”

As the man stuttered and sighed, black blood flowed from his mouth.

Perhaps it was a side effect of the stimulant, the body was moving, but the inside seemed to be quickly being eroded by something.

“Aww…!”

Sasha attempts to attack him with a dagger, but is stopped by the man holding the woman hostage.

“Yeah… You’d better do that. Drop her weapon her, come over here or else I’ll kill this woman.”

“… Kuh…”

At his words her, Sasha returned the dagger she was holding to the scabbard her, unfastened her belt and set it on the ground.

After putting the daggers for throwing that were hidden on the ground one by one.

What he took in his hand her at the end was his own bow her.

“What happened to a kid like you… Is unexpected… Well, okay… If you kill that comrade, it’s a contract of 500,000 per head…”

“…!”

Sasha’s hand her twitched and stopped at the fact that he boasted.

[You’re a really good talker. What are you going to do, Sasha? Are you going to switch with me right now? If you die, I’m in trouble… If I think I’m going to die from that guy, I’ll come out by force.]

[…

At Ruben’s words her, Sasha slowly nodded her head, trying to hand over her initiative her to her her.

[Sasha. Turn her sideways.]

When she hears Lyla’s voice in her head, and she moves-

In the next moment, a black arrow passed through Sasha’s side her and lodged in the wrist of the man who was holding her.

And, Pajik! While doing so, black lightning bolted out.

Before the man can wave his hand to harm the woman, the man loses all strength and falls to the ground.

“…Gee, Mr. Cleon…!”

Realizing that what had just happened was a blow from someone Sasha absolutely trusted, she sat down on the ground and looked behind her.

There was a figure of Cleon looking this way with a black bow holding a sigh of relief.

The hunter’s imprint glittered in his eyes, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

[Sasha, if you can move, let’s get up. Since this was done in a place where there were a lot of people, it would be difficult for the guards to come.]

[Yes Yes…! But this person…]

When Sasha pointed in that direction, the woman raised her face in the direction of Cleon and Sasha, with a puzzled expression.

[You gave her her cat her back, right? Then you don’t need to mess with it anymore. When her guard comes, she will help her.]

[…Yes!]

Sasha then, as Cleon had said, gets up and talks to the woman.

“Well, then… I’ll go! I’m sorry I got involved!”

“Now, wait…!”

She calls Sasha to stop her, but Sasha runs in Cleon’s direction her, and she disappears into the crowd.

Immediately after that, the guards of the royal capital-

And then, a girl with sparkling blue hair came closer and reached out to the blind woman who was sitting down and lifted her up.

“…Riomes…”

When a blind woman calls the name of the girl who raised her up, she answers.

“Are you okay? It’s difficult to walk around like this alone. Hertie.”

“…I’m sorry. I was trying to find Bahamut…”

As if trying to calm Hertty down, Riomes grabs his shoulder his.

And to the guards, he says:

“Mr. What will the beauty dyer think?”

“I’m sorry! I’ll immediately go after this criminal… And the two who escaped.”

“No. It’s okay with those two people. Rather, it’s because he protected this person. … Please do something about these criminals causing trouble in the capital in broad daylight.”

At Riomes’ words, the guards are at a loss and arrest the fallen man.

“…”

Riomes glanced at the guards and sighed.

“Bahamut. A big thing happened because of you.”

“Meow.”

When the cat in Herti’s hand replied as if she was sorry, Herti would talk quietly.

“…A man named Cleon… As expected, somewhere…”

“Eh…? As for Cleon, I’ve told you before. That you’re the one who will give birth to my child someday! Oh, did Hertie become interested in Cleon, too? If so, join me-“

“Ah, ah… It was.”

Herti walks beside her, nodding his head at Riomes’ words to her.

What she, blinded by her eyes, felt from her Cleon her.

It was a nostalgic, family-like presence somewhere.
