Chapter 264 – Assassination Family Raven 3 (18)
After a short conversation, we left the forest inside the track.
“Sister Seche, the number of grass bison has decreased significantly?”
When the grass bison reached the age of 40, they ran the track like crazy, but when the population normalized, they no longer had to compete, so they became docile, like the females and cubs of the grass bison in the forest.
When we came onto the track, they tried to hit us with our heads, but now we just gave up and walked into the woods looking for our family.
“Uh, yes. I see. I’ll have to write it down again.”
Seche took out a piece of paper with the seal of the Creodun Adventurer’s Guild and wrote down the name of Grass Bison again.
12 males, 13 females, 8 cubs. I wasn’t sure about the numbers, but looking at her like this, she seemed like a woman with a good memory.
Then he came towards me hesitantly, and he definitely looked nervous.
It was clear from Seche’s very different reactions that Blaze was the hero who prevented the Gate’s incident, and Cian Raven was the Empire’s assassin.
“Didn’t it suddenly become very awkward? I guess I revealed that I was Raven for no reason?”
“It seems like you weren’t the type of person who could keep hiding his strength. If a man with a body in his body suddenly called you an assassin, wouldn’t that be an inevitable reaction?”
“Is that so?”
“And not even a week has passed since we learned our names.”
It’s because we’ve progressed the relationship so quickly, it hasn’t even been a week since we met.
“Even though the time we met was short, we did everything we needed to do, right?”
“And don’t you know how huge a task it is to tell even if there are risk factors in women’s art?”
I taught it as a test, but the risk of a 10,000-year silver level adventurer becoming gold level overnight was enough to be worth the risk.
“If many adventurers in the world knew about its power, they would try to cling to it, right? But since it’s Raven, I can’t even cling to it! Oh, you’re so handsome! And if you go to Edburneil’s territory to meet a woman, are you going to kill her?”
She thought that she could be of good use to female adventurers in the future and decided to answer Seche’s questions step by step.
“Let’s talk about it as we go forward. The fact that we have to go to Edburneel hasn’t changed.”
“I see. It looks like we can get out of the forest now.”
As I walked back down the forest path toward Edburnil, I started talking to the true Seche.
“Let’s start with what happened today. The number of grass bison increased abnormally, and they were unable to escape the tracks.”
“Yes. Something changed when you defeated the elf who turned into a dark elf. Is it true that it was after you destroyed the black crystal?”
“That’s the devil’s fragment.”
“Devil’s Fragment? Isn’t the Demon’s Fragment a demon? Wait a minute, it’s a demon?!”
The quest window calls it a fragment, so that would be correct.
And while talking about the devil easily, Seche was greatly embarrassed.
The devil is an enemy of humanity that must be eliminated by the Holy Kingdom’s Holy Knights.
I ignored Seche’s surprised reaction and continued the story.
“And before that, there were orcs during the escort mission, right?”
“Does the devil pass over? Yes, there were orcs too.”
“There is a high possibility that those orcs are just as illusory as the Grass Bison.”
“Lie…? People were really hurt and killed?”
In the first attack, people were injured, and four people were killed.
In the second attack, I showed off my power and no one died, but there was still some damage.
“At dawn on the day of the attack, I single-handedly killed an orc shaman similar to the elf I had just killed. So all the surrounding orcs disappeared.”
“Did you go out? I think I slept nearby, but I didn’t know…”
After hearing that I would be accompanying him, Seche slept a little away from me, but I didn’t know because I was clearly wearing a military uniform.
I didn’t even notice the wake-up call, but it’s hard for a sleeping person to notice.
“I estimate that the main body of the devil who caused this is near Edburnil. So I am on my way to kill the main body.”
“Is the Raven family’s assassin also receiving requests to assassinate demons? Anything related to demons seems like something that the Holy Kingdom’s paladins and priests should do…”
“I heard that the Thembus Kingdom isn’t moving.”
“If it’s the Eurisian Empire, will they accept it?”
“I immediately called the Holy Kingdom’s investigation team from the incident at the warp gate.”
“Ah. That was when Blaze first appeared.”
“Because that too was the work of the devil.”
“Wow… Is the demon king from legend about to appear?”
Do you have a good feeling? However, there was no clear answer to that.
Even if you are now at the starting line of becoming a gold-level adventurer, it is definitely not an ordeal that Seche can handle.
“So let’s part ways from Stemore.”
“You think I can’t keep a secret? Are you thinking of giving up drinking?”
“Because Sister Seche is dangerous. The devil I met last time had the power of mind control. If he was told to die, he could make someone who had no resistance commit suicide.”
“Is the devil’s power that much?”
“Yes. It’s dangerous.”
With those words, we walked through the forest in silence for a while.
Did you walk in the forest for about an hour? After some time had passed, Seche said.
“Is there anything better if I follow along?”
“I gave everything I could, even to the female protagonist.”
“Of course it’s a big deal. Um… But I’m an adventurer, right? If there’s some kind of reward, I plan to follow through to the end.”
At the same time, Seche subtly touched my lower body with his arm.
“Is this okay?”
So, I gently pushed my lower body towards Seche, and he smiled softly.
“What else does an adventurer need except money and sex?”
“I think something like honor is missing?”
“That kind of thing comes naturally when you follow money and sex. Is it possible that Sian is an assassin, so he doesn’t know?”
At first, he was a little wary when he realized I was Cyan Raven, but then he came back completely relaxed.
Considering the biography of Seche I heard last night, it seems like a problem that can be overcome in an hour when a trusted colleague becomes an assassin.
Or maybe he just put some conditions on it to follow me.
“Well, at least we’ll be together until this journey with Edburneel.”
“Okay. In the meantime, I’ll try to use my sword skills properly!”
At the same time, he cut down a nearby tree with his mana.
There was still no room for help with hazy mana, but it was reassuring.

“Subdue seven goblins.”
Perhaps the Grass Bison’s runaway was the problem, and invisible monsters began to pour out nearby.
Seche counted the number of goblins I killed and wrote about the goblin subjugation on the ecological survey paper.
First of all, the quest we received was a status investigation, so even if we subjugated it, we wouldn’t get a big reward, but we still went around killing what we saw.
I pushed Negative mana into Seche’s stomach, which was low on mana, to restore it and fight with it, but when it was exhausted, I moved.
As I passed through the forest and killed orcs, goblins, wolves, and various monsters, night came.
“I was so busy walking that I couldn’t even get meat.”
“I could go and get it right now.”
“It’s okay. But Sian, wouldn’t you be able to cover this place in one day by yourself?”
Since I gave him a rough idea of all the powers I had, I was able to guess that much.
“Really? Two days is enough.”
“I’m sorry if you spend twice as much because of me.”
“This is a good experience in its own way.”
“I don’t know what semi-nobles are. Are they doing it because they have to go through a lot of trouble?”
“It’s important who you do it with.”
After hearing those words, Seche looked at me blankly and then lowered his gaze slightly.
“It’s difficult to wash properly, so sex is difficult, but I can give it to you with my mouth?”
“You can use water, but is it necessary?”
I put a water creation magic circle into the basket I made with Shadow Craft, created a lot of water, and then sprinkled it on Seche.
“Aaaaah?! What on earth is the Raven family!”
“They say I’m unique.”
“Ah. If I’m all wet like this, I have no choice but to take off my clothes and dry them.”
As if he didn’t like it, he started taking off his clothes in front of me.
Didn’t you take it off yesterday too? While watching that, I also made a bowl of water and poured it on my body.
What? Couldn’t we just make this bigger?
Until now, I had to hold it in my hand to maintain what I made with Shadow Craft, so I used it as a waste of water, but now that I have the Shadow String, I don’t have to hold it in my hand.
At first, what I made was a huge cylinder that could wrap around itself, but instead had an open sky.
Then, I used a shadow string to connect it to my hand. Next, I made a bathtub containing a water creation magic circle and connected it to my hand.
Mana consumption was also manageable. I think I can keep it going for at least two hours.
“What did you do without any change in expression…?”
As I looked back and forth between the black barrier surrounding the surrounding area and the bathtub filled with water, the three bodies I saw asked me.
“Shall we say building a safe campsite? It’s my first time doing it, and it goes well.”
“I don’t think I’m at the level where I can say, ‘It’s going well’…? I know what I want to do.”
After saying that, Seche went into a bathtub filled with water.
“You mean you want to wash cleanly and have sex safely, even if it’s outdoors? Didn’t you use a technique you’ve never tried for that purpose?”
“I was completely caught.”
I also took off my wet clothes, and even though the shadow string was somewhat disturbed, the connection was not broken.
Cyan Raven won’t be camping like this, but I might be able to use it better with a different body.
Wouldn’t it be perfect if you learned the soundproofing magic circle here?
As I sat down in the bathtub, Seche moved right next to me and whispered in my ear with his hot breath, even though no one was there to hear.
“Should we just rinse our bodies a bit and do it right away?”
“Is it okay to smell a little like sweat?”
“Hehe… Then let’s do it right away.”
The world has been actively moving.
