Vol. 3 Chapter 15

Translated by Mlzkzr Edited by Mlzkzr

I who was left alone in the training ground, activated the skill 『World’s Eye』 that I just got.

This skill is always active, but it seems that it’s only the effect of the 『Mind’s eye』, and the effect of the 『Enemy Search』 is to be activated consciously.

I activated my skill and searched for any beings trying to move away from this royal castle for the time being.

Then, the signs that would indicate Louise-san and the others, is displayed as blue dots on something like a radar in my head, and on the contrary, a red dot that was trying to move away from the royal castle at a great momentum was caught on the radar.

When I was using the skill 『Enemy Search』 it wasn’t this detailed, but apparently, the existences that would be my ally is judged by the skill without my own recognition and is displayed as a blue dot, and it seems that beings that are enemies to me are indicated as red dots.

Thanks to this, I’ll be able to determine a friend from a foe in a single equation. But, hmm …… can I get a little more information? It was in the explanation of the skill that I would be able to understand it in detail.

At the moment I thought that, detailed information about the red dot in my brain was displayed.

【Olga Carmelia】

Birthplace: Kaizer Empire

Race: Beastman

Gender: Female

Occupation: Assassin

Age: 8

Level: 455

Status: Slave

Nickname: Twilight Assassin

Three sizes: ————……

“Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!”

I couldn’t help but quip about the information displayed on the screen.

No privacy or sh*t, this skill! I mean, no kidding, I’ve got too much detailed data, though!? Moreover, even her three sizes!?

Of course, I didn’t see the part after the three sizes. My sense of ethics prevented me from doing so. Well done, me.

I don’t know her attack power, etc; does that mean that I have to use a different skill to find out those? Well, it’s still too good to be true if this much information comes out, though.

At any rate, a lot of data full to quip with had come out.

First of all, she’s from the Kaizer Empire. That, is the country that summoned Shouta and the others, right?

The Kaizer Empire is probably the most eager about subduing the Demon Lord, so they summoned the heroes, and with that thought, the king of this country, who wanted to coexist with the demons, must’ve been getting their way ……or something like that?

Moreover, the assassin seems to be a woman. On top of that, she is a beastman and is very young. It’s strange that her level exceeds 400 for that.

However, instead of such information, I turned my attention to something more intriguing.

“This slave state …… what is that?”

Yes, I didn’t quite understand that part.

Is that? Is she a slave-like existence?

I hadn’t seen a being like slave since I came to this world, so I thought it was gone for sure, but……

If that girl is indeed a slave, then I’m concerned about the safety of Shouta and the others. This is because, like the contents of the diary of the Hero Abel, they may be used as much as they could be used, and then erased.

However, I still can’t wrap my head around the concept of slavery.

Even on Earth, there’s an expression about being forced to work like a slave , but they’re not a slave in the truest sense of the word.

Thanks to the technology disseminated by the summoned heroes, I felt very close to Earth until now, but when I thought that there may be slavery here, I strongly realize that this is a different world.

Either way, the word slave is unpleasant for me.

While I was thinking about this and that, the assassin seemed to be heading towards the training ground where I am now.

And finally, from the entrance leading to the inside of the royal castle, a black shadow popped out with great momentum.

Seeing the shadow figure, I spill words unintentionally.

“Hmm …… she really does look like an assassin.”

“Tuh!?”

The black shadow that popped out, was a petite humanoid, wearing a jet-black robe similar to mine. I don’t know what she looked like, though.

This black shadow, must be the assassin.

When I calmly stared at the assassin, the other party looked at me and was astonished.

“……W,why…… my figure……!?”

“Yes?”

I wonder what she was saying. She has an atmosphere that feels like 『 Why can you see me!? 』 .

As I twisted my neck to the other party with such kind of atmosphere, the woman in robe took something out of her pocket, and threw it at me.

“Tu!”

“Eh!? Wait!? A sudden attack!?”

I don’t like that anymore.

Well, certainly, because the other party aimed at the king of this country, it maybe natural to erase someone who has seen her image, though.

Aside from that, the other party apparently turned to me, and it seemed that she threw two throwing knives at me.

I think I have no choice but to avoid it normally and incapacitate her after making great adjustments. If I hit her seriously, she will disappear. Really, it feels like I have stopped being human……

Looking at the knife coming towards me, as I think so ————

“Tsu!?”

“Eh?”

My body suddenly started to move, just like when I fought against Louise-san.

My body, catches the two knives flying towards me with my right palm …… between my index and middle finger, and between my middle and ring finger, then without pausing, I throw it back to the other party.

“Hey!?”

I’ve been fighting and beating down monsters, but I’m not prepared to exchange lives with a human and a beastman right now.

It should be the same life, but I can’t think of monsters and people to be the same by all means.

I know that it’s a very naïve idea, but I just couldn’t do it.

That’s why I myself was feeling tremendous fear at what I was about to do. I didn’t really understand it when it was with Louise-san, so it would be a problem before I was scared or had feelings like that. But, now it’s different.

Perhaps, the skill 『Reflexive Defense』 was triggered, but because of that, the assassin was killed …… that’s what I thought.

However, the skill 『Reflexive Defense』 was even better than I had imagined.

“Kuh……!”

The knives I threw back aren’t very fast, but it’s not at a speed where she could avoid it.

Hence, I thought it would definitely pierce through the assassin’s body, but …… the knife I fired penetrated through the assassin’s robe and it stabbed her into the castle wall.

Due to the knives’ speed and momentum, the assassin was pulled by her robe and her body was sewn to the castle wall. Normally, I’d thought that the knives I threw would end up going right through the assassin, but my evolved body was able to perform the divine work of blocking the movement of the other party without difficulty. Can I be happy? About this.

But as the name of the skill suggests, it’s all about defense, so let’s call it good this time. Yup.

As I was forcing myself to convince myself, the assassin, whose movements had been blocked, quickly took off her robe and escaped from her restraints.

“Ooohh!”

When I saw the true appearance of the assassin who took off her robe, I couldn’t help but shout.

“……”

Because, the assassin has the same black hair as me. What’s more, her head even has something like cat ears, and a black tail, which is the same color as her hair, extends from around her waist.

As the assassin glared at me vigilantly, I took another good look at the assassin.

She has short black hair and golden eyes like that of a cat’s. She is as young as her age, and very cute. However, her half-lidded eyes are now glaring at me, so her cuteness is reduced by half.

She’s probably a black cat beastman. Since she has black cat ears and a black tail.

She was dressed in jet-black clothes which look like a ninja costume, and around her neck, she wears what looks like a similar black collar.

I don’t know if there was a concept of a ninja in this world, but she certainly dressed like an assassin.

No…… nevertheless, it was a great relief to see someone with a dark hair like mine. She attacked me, though.

Since thanks to her, I realized once again that I didn’t need to be so conscious of my black hair. It exists in this way.

When I was satisfied with the fact that I was able to confirm it by chance, the assassin approached me at a surprising speed. Moreover, she has a knife in her hand.

“————tu!”

“You’re attacking again!? Let’s calm down a little!?”

I wonder what kind of horror is this, a cute kid trying to kill me with a knife.

It was at that moment when I clicked my tongue inwardly, and put all my strength into my legs to avoid her attack.

Again, my body started to move on its own.

“Hey! Wait!”

I’m completely, being swayed by my skills.

I couldn’t control my body, and when I caught the approaching knife between the fingers of my left hand, I poke her lightly on the head with my right hand as it was.

“Tutututu!!??”

With that alone, the assassin girl staggered and collapsed on the spot as her eyes were rolling.

“Oops.”

I held the assassin girl in my arms before she fell to the ground.

Hahaha …… the other person fainted just by me hitting her really lightly. The liquid that overflows from my eyes is a testament of my humanity.

As I was thinking something stupid, I check the face of the assassin passed out in my arms again.

……Hmm. Her appearance of sleeping like this, is no different from a normal child.

In this world, where such a child can normally hold a knife and try to kill people, I unconsciously shuddered my body.

Until now, I didn’t even think about that, but once again, I feel the horror of another world.

It’s not something I can say after defeating monsters before, but even so, I am very scared of myself that I would almost take life for granted.

That, is the scariest thing than getting a blown away status.

I was taking them down because the other party attacked me first, but the very fact that I’ve arrived at such a thought itself, I realized now that it was already abnormal.

But in this world, that’s the norm, otherwise, you can’t survive.

This place is no longer …… Earth.

Even though I understand it in my head, it still seems difficult to comprehend it in my heart.

I relaxed my tense shoulders, and let out a sigh.

By doing so, when I was unraveling the tension on my body, I felt a hurried sign approaching from inside the castle again.

When I looked in that direction, I saw all the Valkyrie members, including Louise-san and the others, about to come to this training ground. Everyone, has a uniformly steep expression on their faces.

When Louise-san confirmed my appearance, she came towards me quickly.

“ Shishou . I’m very sorry for the sudden situation, but can you please go home this time?”

…….So, she has decided to call me Shishou.

“Yes, I don’t really mind, but. ……Ah, Louise-san”

“You can call me Louise. No need for honorifics.”

Overwhelmed by the power of Louise’s insistence, I decided to follow her words.

“Ah…… yeah. Well then, Louise. Perhaps, I caught the criminal who attacked the king, but ……”

In my words, Louise took a long time to process it.

Well, that’s true, isn’t it. If I said that I suddenly caught the assassin who had attacked the king, anyone would be surprised. ……

While thinking about such a thing, I show her the assassin girl I was holding.

“See, this child. She jumped out of the royal castle with great momentum, and she attacked me, so……”

…… A’re? I don’t know why. It sounded like a great excuse.

However, apart from such me, Louise looked at the assassin girl I was holding, and she widened her eyes with surprise.

And then Louise told Lorna-san something, and Lorna-san turned her observant gaze to the girl. At that moment, to my eyes, her eyes seemed to light up for a moment.

I remembered Lorna-san’s gaze at the assassin girl.

It’s because, before I was transported to this world, I was inside the classroom and Oki took the liberty of checking my status, and it was the same as the time he used the skill 『Appraisal』 to find out it out.

For a moment, Lorna-san’s eyes seemed to glow, and my 『Clairvoyance』 skill was activated, so it must had been the visible sign that Lorna-san had used her skill.

Apparently, she is looking into the status of the assassin girl and other stuffs.

“Lorna, how did it go?”

“… It’s as you imagined, Louise-sama”

“Is that so……”

Louise floated a stern look, and after a few moments of silent consideration, she opened her mouth.

“Interrogate her, please.”

“Roger!”

After asking her to do so, she handed the assassin girl to Lorna-san.

After receiving the girl, Lorna-san goes somewhere as it is.

Even so …… interrogate? Is it okay to leave it to Lorna-san?

When I was twisting my neck, thinking very rudely, Claudia-san came up to me.

“If you leave it to Lorna, it’ll be okay. She’s not going to do anything bad to that girl either.”

“No, I’m not particularly worried about that, but …… are you sure it’s okay to leave the interrogation to Lorna-san? Ah, no, it’s not that I don’t trust her, but……”

To me who can’t help but feel like I’m making excuses unintentionally, Claudia-san smiles wryly.

“Hahaha. I know what you mean. But, she’s the best interrogator in the country.”

“Really!?”

“It’s true, you know. She has completely mastered the 『SM course』 held by Miss Ellis of the guild, up to the advanced level.”

“Ellis-san unexpectedly appears here!?”

I didn’t know that there was someone taking that course which I didn’t know where the demand was! What’s more, it’s amazingly useless that she has completed it to the advanced level!?

Perhaps, some guys are learning how to build muscles with Gassur efficiently? …… Oh no, I can’t deny it.

A course which I thought there was no demand, I was horrified by the fact that it was playing an active part in an unexpected place.

“At any rate, Seiichi-kun. It may be bad for you, but this time, I have to ask you to leave.”

“That, was also said by Louise.”

“Yes. My apologies, Shishou. Even though we’re the ones who called you ……”

“No, I don’t particularly mind that, but…… is the Ou-sama okay?” (TN: King)

When I asked that, they both gave me a grim look at the same time.

“……The soldiers of the magic division casted a recovery magic on him, which saved his life. However……”

“?”

I twisted my neck at Louise, who couldn’t continue, and Claudia-san took over the rest.

“…… His Majesty’s eyes, won’t wake up.”

“Eh?”

Not waking up? Just now, I heard Louise say that the recovery magic had saved his life, but …….is it a problem with his physical?

That’s what I guessed, but it was different.

“Seiichi-kun, since you already know that His Majesty has been attacked, I’ll tell you, but…… first, I need you to promise not to tell anyone else about this.”

“Ye,yeah. I didn’t mean to tell anyone from the beginning, though ……”

“If so, let me tell you. The assassin who attacked His Majesty earlier…… apparently, the weapon she used at that time was a 『Curse Tool』.”

“Curse Tool?”

When I tilted my head at the unfamiliar word, Louise told me.

“Shishou. As the name implies, a curse tool is a tool or weapon that is possessed by a curse or evil spirit that causes harm to humans. Some of the curse tools are possessed by evil spirits, and it can even easily kill their owner, but the more powerful they are, the fewer there is. And…… this time, it seems that a knife with a curse called 『Eternal Sleep』 was used.”

“Eternal sleep ……”

Curse, huh…… Speaking of which, Al was also cursed as 『A person carrying disasters』, so the luck of her status was negative.

And, Al said, that there was no way to break the curse.

In other words ————

“……His majesty, may never wake up again.”

With a voice as if she was crushing a complex emotion, Claudia-san said so.

“……”

“…… Fortunately, his highness the first prince Roberto, his highness the second prince Gionis, and her highness the first princess Lattice were all in the school, so they weren’t targeted.”

Claudia-san said that, but her expression remained gloomy.

Louise also has a very downcast look on her face, probably because she was unable to protect the king.

…… Is there anything I can do to help……

I don’t think it’s a matter of standing out or being inconspicuous.

I think this country is purely amazing, and I like it very much, albeit for a short time.

I don’t know if the current King has good politics or whether the previous king was a good politician.

Whatever it was, this country, full of smiling faces, looked very bright.

And yet, both Claudia-san and Louise, have a sunken expression on their faces.

What had been a pleasant atmosphere a while ago, was instantly destroyed.

I can’t stand such unreasonableness.

That’s why, if I could, I wanted to lend my strength.

I couldn’t help anyone because I was only being helped on Earth.

But right now, I should have the strength to do that. No, I absolutely have it.

I am trying to remember the effects of all the magic I had learned in my head, to see if there was any magic that could break his curse.

However, no matter how hard I searched, there was no magic to break the curse.

…… After all, is it no good?

It was when I thought so.

I realized that there was only one way to save him.

That method is————

“……. If I don’t have it, I can just create it.”

“Eh?”

I muttered quietly.

At my words like that of a certain queen-sama, Claudia-san and Louise tilted their heads.

That’s right. …… It’s times like these that, I really need to show off my joke status.

I’m being swayed by my skills, and I can’t even understand magic properly.

Until now, I’ve been escaping reality by turning away from my mighty power.

I got as much as I could, and kept mourning.

So, I think I’m going to face it this time.

It’s one of my many cheat skills …… 『Magic Creation』.

This, would be my first step in confronting my powers, and it would become the magic I’ll create for the first time.

With my strong-willed gaze, I turned to the two ————

“Please take me to the king”

————And told them so.
