Chapter 1447 – 1447. The Dark Moon
I opened my mouth involuntarily when I saw the female ninja who disappeared in an instant.
It must be said that he was a ninja, but he was incredibly fast. I immediately searched the surroundings with detection magic, but there was no sign of presence. It disappeared completely in that brief moment.
‘The power used by ninjas. I wanted to ask about that.’
I know she won’t give an easy answer. Even so, she couldn’t handle the momentary curiosity and opened the door.
‘That’s definitely magic-related power.’
It was different from the magic I used, but it was certain that it was a power based on magic.
‘Ninja characters are hard to see even in the original game, but you can see them here.’
Being a ninja was one of the classes players couldn’t choose. I remember that there were rumors that the content added as DLC was a ninja. I think so too.
I looked back. Corpses slain by ninjas who suddenly appeared are strewn about and filling the floor with blood. I was a little relieved as I smelled the fishy smell.
‘I didn’t even know that woman ninja was nearby until she showed herself.’
If she came within my senses, she would have noticed right away, but it was pretty shocking that she didn’t notice until right before she killed her gang members.
‘I don’t know the exact skills… Probably stronger than me now.’
I checked the four transparent barriers surrounding my body. If you have a barrier, you will be able to block some attacks.
‘The problem is that I can’t keep the barrier on all day because I’m afraid of being assassinated.’
You need a solid assassination preparation. There is something that comes to mind, but it is difficult to implement it right away. Even if my magic talent is genius, I haven’t mastered all magic now.
‘Compared to the same 5th level wizards, I know much less magic.’
As I walked out of the building, I stopped. I look at the corpses lying behind me once again. I pondered for a while. The original plan was to brutally kill the gang members before putting them on display. But the female ninja intervened. Is there anything wrong with leaving it as it is?
‘It’s a warning, so it’ll be fine. Still… Shall I talk to Rose?’
If it were her, she might know about ninjas.
•••
Instead of returning home, he entered the X manpower depot in Area X.
Dawn that hasn’t risen properly yet. Workers were waiting in line in front of the manpower station. They are not mercenaries like me, but workers who are dispatched to places like factories to make money. They completely ignored me. I didn’t even bother talking to them.
Soon Rose appeared. She took one look around her and assigned the workers to work.
“Don’t make an accident on the spot.”
Haha…. I was drunk and out of my mind at the time.”
“Don’t secretly drink while working. I warn you, this is really the last time.”
Rose chatted word by word with her workers. Crude words were exchanged. When all the workers are gone, she snaps her finger at me.
“Come in. What are you doing today? Request?”
“On a personal matter.”
I sat in her office facing her. Rose listened to my explanation and only frowned at her.
“I had an accident… To say that, the justification is here. The Fraxon Mercenary Corps will never step out. It’s not a group so stupid that you can’t tell the difference between these things. The Havers Gang… It could be a problem. They don’t care sometimes. There will be no problem right now. As far as I know, Jupiter is pretty busy right now.”
“Do you know anything about ninjas? It’s called the Invisible Blade.”
“What is that funny name again? He hooked up with some weirdo.”
“It’s not a bastard, it’s a bitch.”
“… What a strange year. I know some ninjas, but I don’t know the name Invisible Blade. Didn’t I say I was good at it?”
“I don’t know the exact skill. It is certain that it is not an ordinary skill.”
“Such a strong man killed a gang of rogues like Havers…. There’s no reason other than building a reputation. Probably a newcomer to the city.”
“Are you familiar with ninjas?”
“I only know a few famous ninjas in Neo London. I’ve heard that ninja’s roots are in Unbelievable Japan?”
Unbelievable Japan.
It is an ancient country that existed about 800 years ago. It doesn’t exist now.
“Do you know anything about the ninjutsu that ninjas use?”
“I don’t know. Are you so curious about that?”
“From my shallow knowledge, ninjas use hand signs when they use ninjutsu. However, that female ninja did not use hand signs, but ninjutsu.”
“Even wizards use hand signs. There you write up to the video window. Is that such a surprise?”
“A ninja and a wizard are different.”
“You must have been quite surprised to see the ninja.”
“I was surprised. It was truly a ninja reality shock….”
“What else is that?”
“There is such a thing.”
“Anyway, I’m sorry, but I don’t know much about ninjas.”
“Okay.”
I got up from my seat.
“Aren’t you commissioned? I have a request that came to you yesterday.”
“I’m busy and don’t have time for that. But what request?”
“It’s a guard request. Because it’s the Dark Moon soon. The pay is pretty good, are you going to do it? You have plenty of time until the Dark Moon.”
“… A guard request is a bit like that.”
“Why? A security request is a request that, if you’re lucky, you can get money without doing anything.”
“I’ve done security-related work a few times… It has never been a very good experience.”
“Okay. Then I will decline this request. Oh, thanks for coming and telling me what happened today. Well, there’s nothing I can do… There are people who think and don’t say anything.”
I said goodbye to her and went back to her house.
•••
I closed the store earlier than usual and hid in the alleyway to watch the fish and chips shop across the street. He quietly follows the shop owner, John Clark. He shrank a lot, and looked around him, expressing his uneasiness.
‘Looks like you’ve heard the news of the Havers gang.’
He knows the inside story, so he’ll guess I’m involved. He fears the blade of retaliation.
John’s house was in District F. It is a common upper class area. The end of the upper class district. It is a district of rich rich people.
‘The guy who runs the fish and chips shop lives here? It’s nonsense. Did he go out and buy a house while he was in a gang?’
I saw him open the front door and enter.
[Detection]
Check your surroundings with magic.
There were no bodyguards. Instead, there were unmanned security robots in the garden and inside the house. From the outside, it was hidden from view.
Figured out the level. Get into action right away. In the past, when I was in the military, I experienced boring missions of breaking through security robots.
The security robot is a machine. Unless it is an expensive magic engineering security robot, it is inevitably vulnerable to electric current.
[Electric Field]
An electric current flows through the ground from the feet. Of course, the current was moderately regulated. Just, only with the output that will neutralize the guard robot.
Walk forward The security robot, cleverly hidden in the bush, was incapacitated and did not respond.
Successfully breaking in, I put my hand on John’s shoulder as he sat on the couch watching TV and drinking beer.
“You are watching an interesting movie. Planetarium. It’s a fun movie. It’s a little naughty, but I mean it.”
“You, you… !”
John Clark jumped up from the couch, freaking out. A beer can rolled from his hand and stained the floor yellow.
“Thanks to you, I couldn’t sleep last night. It’s been a long time since I’ve been up all night, so I was in a bad mood the whole time I was working at the store.”
“I-I was just trying to get the recipe! Really!”
“Knapping people for a chicken recipe? What if I had no strength? Would he have been alive?”
“Lord, I had no intention of killing you! I thought I would send it back if I found out the recipe!”
“You’re talking about things that even dogs won’t believe. A person kidnapped by a gang is already dead. Isn’t it common sense that everyone knows in this city?”
Ugh.
Mana moves and a magic circle is drawn in the air. Seeing the magic circle, he immediately knelt down, bowed his head, and emptied his hand.
“I was wrong! I will apologize for this… Only once… ! Just once… Die!”
I took out the pistol I had hidden under the sofa and fired a bullet straight at my head.
Ting!
Although the result did not even scratch the barrier.
“Under the couch, behind the TV, in a drawer…. You’ve got seven weapons hidden in the living room alone. Did you get stabbed a lot?”
“Come on, guard robot! It’s an intruder! An intruder came, but why aren’t you moving?!”
The guy pulls the trigger. The pouring bullets couldn’t break a single barrier.
Grip support.
The completed magic circle flashed and disappeared. A deep sense of despair lingers on the man’s face. It was rewarding to show the magic circle on purpose.
“The movie ends with the heroine and the man breaking up. And this is my original magic.”
[Microwave]
Its body swelled up and exploded with an explosion.
His whole body exploded in an instant, so he didn’t know if he felt pain. However, on the outside, it was more terrifying than anything else. Blood and viscera splattered all over her. If I hadn’t manipulated the barrier, he would have splashed on me as well.
I returned, being careful not to leave any traces as much as possible.
•••
Five days after that, I got a call from Rose.
-Are you busy these days?
“No. Okay. Is it a request?”
The store is stable.
I hired people to take care of the kitchen for me, and now it’s a matter of people who want to franchise. All other time is personal time. I was using it to study magic.
-Right. It’s a nomination request that pinned you down. The content is a request related to Jupit. I don’t know the details yet. They demand strict security, so if you accept the request, they will disclose the contents.
Keywords thrown.
Jupiter.
The client knows the relationship between me, Havers, and Jupit in detail. The querent could have been a member of Jupit. Either that or it’s related to the female ninja side.
“Would.”
