Chapter 144 – Assassination Family Raven 2 (3)
I’m not sure how I made the connection, but I thought the Gwen Shrine was misleading.
After hearing Gwen’s explanation, in this world, contraceptive magic leaves deep traces, so it can be said to be a magic that prostitutes or sex slaves who are in debt engrave on their bodies.
After hearing all the explanations about it and hearing that they were going to teach me about the wand, I engraved the birth control spell on the body of Shrine Gwen.
Without thinking much, I engraved the birth control magic circle on Gwen’s body, but I thought it could be quite a shameful thing for a woman.
But Shrine Gwen wasn’t even angry, all she did was place her palm on her large chest and glance at me.
“I know that the pattern will disappear after 3 days, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
So I just decided to leave.
“As expected, you knew about this magic. No, did you plan it from the beginning to get me as a reward?”
I’m starting to feel like a woman-crazed villain, but the body I’m possessing is not Han Xian, but Xian Raven.
I am sure that if I reduce Yusian to 45% now, I will just leave the room without hearing any more nonsense from Shrine Commander Gwen, but the purpose of meeting Shrine Gwen has only been half achieved.
Firstly, can I use the birth control magic circle?
Secondly, are there any major problems if the contraceptive magic circle is used in the lower world?
I was planning on checking two things and at least I checked the first one.
“I didn’t plan it. But it looks like I’m getting a better reward than I expected. I’d like to receive confirmation as a reward that the contraceptive magic circle is not only in shape but also works properly.”
“Confirmation of the birth control magic circle…”
Gwen Shrine, realizing the true meaning of my words, bit her lip slightly.
Taking this as permission, I stood up and looked around the room.
I think this is a place to work, not a bedroom.
“Then I will come visit you tonight. I think it would be nice to be alone at night.”
“I just need to not be alone tonight.”
Temple Chief Gwen spoke as if he was defying me.
“I believe in Shrine Gwen.”
If I wanted to talk longer, I could, but Princess Rosette and Terry Crow were waiting, so I ended up going outside.
It took some time, but Princess Rosette and Terry Crow were sitting on the chair provided in the temple, and Roman was talking about something while being noticed by Yui.
As I approached, Princess Rosette gently waved her hand, and Roman and Yui also checked on me behind her.
“Rosette, Terry. We have finished the story.”
“Did you have any personal conversations?”
“I confirmed a little bit about what happened that day. I also planned to look at it for a similar purpose, so things were resolved easily.”
“Really? That’s good. Then, Roman and Yui, we’ll go.”
“Yes. I look forward to seeing you again next time!”
So we parted ways with the two and went out of the temple.
“What did you hear?”
“Should I say this is Mr. Roman’s adventure story? It feels like hearing about the ecology outside of Teve Village.”
“There wasn’t really any information I could gather.”
The two women dismissed it as just hearing Roman chat to pass the time.
“How about having lunch outside this time?”
“Yes. I eat at the restaurant.”
“I’m fine too.”
Since we brought breakfast to the safe house, we suggested eating lunch outside and everyone agreed.
The restaurant in Teib Village was not old and was clean.
In small towns, there is a good chance that the restaurant may be a mess, but fortunately the meal was as good as the exterior of the building.
After finishing our meal at a time when people who had finished collecting or working in the fields were flocking, we returned to the safe house.
“Princess, I think you should submit the goblin shaman’s staff to Temple Master Gwen.”
“It looks like you need it as evidence, right? It seems like a priest is better suited for this matter than a wizard, so it might be okay to hand it over.”
Princess Rosette took out her short wand from her bag she left in her living room and handed it to me.
I decided to take it, hold it for a while, and then put it in my bag.
You can give it to me when we meet tonight.
Princess Rosette, who handed me the wand, sat down at her desk in the living room. She took a blank piece of paper and began writing her notes.
“Princess? What are you doing?”
“My hands are getting bored because I’m sitting still. When I remember that assassination list, I’ll try my best to make it.”
As Princess Rosette was drawing up her assassination list for me, Terry Crow, who had been restless with two high-ranking men of her rank in her safe house, made her preparations to go out again.
“This time, I will really gather information.”
So Terry Crow left the safe house again, and I spent some time watching Princess Rosette take notes.
As expected, I think this world is more relaxed than the world of the zombie apocalypse.

After taking some notes, Princess Rosette stretched and relaxed her body.
“Sian, shall we go outside this time?”
“I understand.”
I remember the guard blocking me last time when I tried to go out unarmed, so I wore a cheap long sword on my waist, and thanks to that, the guard didn’t stop us when we left.
“It’s good to be peaceful.”
Princess Rosette spoke while walking along the road and enjoying the trees, grass, and flowers.
When I went to Boksu Road or the nearby village, I moved at a bit of a fast pace, so I didn’t have time to enjoy the surrounding nature, but I had plenty of time today.
“It seems so.”
It felt a little awkward to take time for rest rather than growth, but that wasn’t a bad thing.
Is the problem that we don’t think anything of it when we see Princess Rosette smiling in harmony with the flowers?
Apparently, two days ago, I got into a physical relationship and received something similar to a confession, but no further emotions came out.
I feel like if I increase the assimilation rate with Cyan Raven further, I won’t feel anything when I see the girl, so I can’t hastily raise it from 55%.
Let’s be careful not to get eaten by the 55% Cyan Raven.

When we gathered again in the evening, Terry Crow told us about the information he had gathered during the afternoon.
As the village of Teib is a small village, there were no incidents worth worrying about, but the problem was the information spread by people from outside.
“It seems like rumors are slowly spreading that the Raven family has fallen. Seeing as the rumors are starting to spread even in small towns like here, I think there is a high possibility that the larger towns have confirmed that it is not just a rumor.”
Terry Crow was careful to say what he heard that the Raven family was ruined, and it wasn’t exactly wrong.
The family head destroyed the Crow family, which could be considered a pillar, and it will take some time to get back to normal.
“I don’t know what would happen to the empire without the Raven family.”
Princess Rosette spoke in a worried voice.
“Not even a week has passed since the Princess Raven family stopped. I don’t think anything will change in that short time.”
When I brought up the positive story with Princess Rosette, she looked at me with a slightly strange look.
Was this something unbecoming of Cyan Raven?
“It’s because Xian still doesn’t know what I’m doing. I can’t tell you how many people I’ve risked their lives for because of propriety. If I think that the reins on those people are loosened, I think small problems will continue to arise, even if they’re not big. Especially Cairendal Raven. I don’t know how Ina and Kaela Raven will move.”
“It seems like those two somehow move as they please.”
“I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”
The Crow family, which can be said to be a gathering place for information, has stopped, and to put it simply, the internet has been cut off, making it difficult to collect information.
The absence of the Internet is experienced before the world of the zombie apocalypse.
Since I have work to do tonight, I decided to sleep comfortably outside.
“Terry, I’m thinking of staying at the inn tonight. Can I get some money?”
“Yes, Sian.”
Terry Crow took 3 silver pieces out of her purse and gave them to me.
It was a lot of money to cover the cost of the inn.
Princess Rosette, looking at that, said.
“Should I sleep outside too? I think Terry will be uncomfortable.”
“I plan to do some training at night. The princess will be safer here.”
“Really…? Wait, Sian, you were supposed to get a good rest today, right?”
“This is enough for me to rest. And after seeing the power of the head of the family, I felt like it wasn’t enough.”
“It could definitely be said to be a transcendent figure. Yes, I understand.”
I grabbed my bag and walked out of the safe house.
The bar near the safe house was crowded with people at that time, and I thought that I might cause trouble to the inn if I was late, so I quickly headed to the inn.
There were quite a few people on the first floor of the inn having dinner and a quick drink.
Since I had no intention of getting involved with them, I went straight to the inn owner sitting at the counter.
“Do you have a room?”
“Yes, of course. Most of the hall guests are dining guests. How long do you plan on staying?”
“I’ll only stay one night. If I have to stay longer, I’ll calculate it every day.”
“Okay. 30 cooper per night will do.”
When she handed over the 1 silver she had received from Terry Crow, she received 70 coopers in change and a key.
“Room 202. Thank you for keeping it clean.”
“It won’t make the room too dirty.”
I went up to the room and put down the bag I brought.
It wasn’t completely dark outside yet, so the effectiveness of the fortune-telling ceremony would be a little less effective, but I thought it would be an appropriate time to go to the temple after finishing.
