Chapter 1451 – 1451. The Dark Moon
“…….”
The Invisible Blade shut its mouth.
Come to think of it, she acted separately from us. Because he’s a ninja, he secretly moves alone? It had a different purpose than that. He must have planned to obtain Jupit’s ledger first. Then, things must have gone wrong because Philip Jupiter responded faster than expected.
That silence was the answer to my question. I quietly waited for her answer. She drags her time so it’s her who is at a disadvantage, not me.
“Ha.”
A deliberate sigh. Because I have a good voice, I feel strange for some reason.
“Right. I got a double request.”
“To be double commissioned for anything is to betray trust.”
“It’s fine if you don’t notice. I am a ninja I was confident in not being caught.”
“Do you know your broker?”
“What do you think about it?”
“I don’t know. No broker in his right mind would do anything that would ruin his career.”
Mercenaries work by receiving commissions. And the middleman receives a commission, handles the request, and arranges for the mercenary. The moment a broker plays around with a request, it is the end in this industry. Of course, the mercenary’s career is also destroyed… Mercenaries have ample opportunity to recover if they have skills.
“You are smart. The ledger recovery request was received two days before the start of the mission. The client is the person you think is right.”
“As long as I ask you… The senator must have known what Philip was up to in the basement of the casino.”
“Does it matter?”
“… No. Now that it comes to this, I wonder why I received a double request. Why did you do that?”
“There is nothing grandiose. It was a pretty big payoff for an easy job. … As you can see things got messed up because of you. I am bitterly regretting it. I wasn’t dragging you into this.”
The Invisible Blade shook its head.
“You can pretend you didn’t see it.”
“What are the conditions? Do you want money I can give you about 30% of the commission fee. That’s a lot of money. You won’t regret it?”
I shook my head. I started a chicken business to not be bound by this and that. The business is still in its infancy, so money is needed, but time will solve that. The chicken business is getting bigger. And you don’t even need a lot of money right now. Rather, I wanted to solve her curiosity that she felt every time I saw her.
“Ninjutsu.”
“Yes?”
“I’m curious about the ninjutsu you use. As far as I know, ninja use hand signs when they use ninjutsu. But there are times when you use ninjutsu and times when you don’t. If you opened the astral like a wizard… I can understand but… Aren’t you?”
“Hmm. Are you curious about that?”
The female ninja snorts and crosses her arms. My gaze instinctively turned to her breasts. Up on her arms, her breasts felt larger. A chunk of her breasts are about the size of a human head. No, maybe even bigger.
“Sorry, my answer is no. Do you think you’re going to sell my secrets for something like this?”
“I swear I won’t tell anyone else.”
“Aren’t you underestimating ninjas too much? Do you think I really need to do business with you?”
“Do you intend to kill me like a ninja and silence me?”
“If you need… However much!”
Caang!
Her blade, which closed the distance in an instant, hit the barrier. If you look closely at the ninja sword, you can see the water clinging to the blade vibrating at high speed. It enhances cutting power with water. She appears to be one of her ninjutsu.
‘He used ninjutsu without hand signs again.’
Kiyiying!
One barrier was cut. That blade was more like a chainsaw now.
There are 4 barriers left. There is room.
“…… Wasn’t there a shortage of mana? The barrier is too strong for something like that.”
“It is true that there is no room for it. Still, I’m in a better condition than you are now.”
“I heard you. Right. Earlier, when I dealt with Philip, who ran out of control, I overworked myself. He wasn’t a normal guy. However… There’s nothing wrong with killing you.”
She held her blade back and rotated her body. The blades of transparent water generated from the blade embroidered the air and cut through the barrier. Every time the sword was moved, the water droplets that scattered felt beautiful.
‘Did I forget that I can use lightning-type magic?’
[Electric Field]
Stamp her feet The thunderbolt extending from me fills the room. Snapped her fingers Her electric currents, which had been radiating in all directions, swerved around her and rushed at her. It is an unavoidable attack.
She tossed her ninja sword into the air and quickly made her hand signs with both of her hands. I put on a tired expression as my hand movements changed more than 10 times in one second. She grabbed the falling ninja sword again. Immediately after, a column of water surged around her, blocking her current.
Her voice was heard in the water column.
“If you thought water would be weak against electricity, you’d be very mistaken.”
“The water produced by magic or ability is close to distilled water. Did you think I wouldn’t know that too?”
An attribute sword flew from the back of the open room and got stuck in the water column. She couldn’t pierce the water column, but the cold air managed to penetrate the water column. The water column freezes instantly. It’s like she’s trapped in ice.
I was vigilant and prepared for the following. It was clear that her pillar of ice would not hold her for long.
Kwajik!
A blade protruded from the center of the ice pillar. The blade vibrated, and the tremors spread throughout the ice pillar. The ice pillars could not withstand the vibrations and fell rapidly.
“… Is that also ninjutsu?”
“It’s a ninja’s secret.”
I could feel the enormous vitality from her. For a moment, her body flinched at the intense intensity of her life. It had been a long time since I had lived like this.
It was a mistake. A gap that occurred when I stumbled for a moment. She took advantage of that gap to attack the ledger in her arms, not me. She threw the ledger into the air first. And she makes a hand sign like before.
A large drop of water created in the air swallows the ledger. The inside of the water drop rotates and tears the tenon. He didn’t stop there, and started melting the remaining pieces of the ledger.
I swallowed in vain.
This is my mistake Come to think of it, she didn’t necessarily have to take her ledger. Her client doesn’t want the ledger, it’s because she doesn’t want the ledger to be handed over to someone else.
The ledger is no longer there. It disappeared without leaving a single fragment.
Even if I inform the client of this fact, will the client believe me? Or will you believe the ninja lies? Maybe you don’t believe in either.
“I should have taken the ledger first.”
“Can I steal it?”
“…….”
It wouldn’t have been easy.
It was then.
I could feel the popularity behind me.
A muscular man with long wavy hair carrying four swords strode forward. He looked at us in the room and laughed.
“Were you here? Seeing Philip’s corpse, the mission must be over. The outside is also being cleaned up now.”
I removed the walkie-talkie from my ear. I said it was quiet earlier, but it seems that the walkie-talkie doesn’t work here.
Mons whistled at the invisible blade.
“Is that a ninja? It’s hotter than expected. I know a good bar. Would you like to go with me?”
“I’m sorry, but that’s not my taste. Those muscles are disgusting because they are so dense.”
“Is it….”
Mons sighed with a sullen face. Then he belatedly noticed that our atmosphere was strange and asked.
“What happened?”
“Nothing happened. Right?”
The female ninja asked me.
I thought about it and nodded.
“Nothing happened.”
She walked right out. I follow her slowly.
I thought in my head.
Is this really over?
Reporting the books to the client is not a problem.
What you need to think about is her retaliation. Will she really go on like this? Will she let me live knowing her own private parts?
One of the things I have seen and experienced while living in this world is that in this world, just knowing someone’s shame can be a reason to die. When I was in the army of Freecell Kingdom, some of my duties were to kill civilians who knew the secrets of nobles.
‘She is a mercenary and a ninja. In other words, she is an assassin. She can’t be trusted.’
If you turn a ninja with her level of skill into an enemy, your daily life will become a nuisance. Preparing for an assassination is very tiring. More than anything, Yuria could have been caught up in it.
‘The one who removes the danger here….’
As I exited her secret passageway, she suddenly started running. Confused, I followed her.
[Haste]
He even uses magic to force himself to follow. Although it’s difficult, it’s not to the extent that you can’t follow it. She is also quite tired.
[Detection]
If there was a case of missing out of sight, he used tick tick detection magic. It was detected right away, probably because the cyber suit she was equipped with was broken.
-Hey. Where have you gone all of a sudden? Are you two playing without me? I’m a bit sad.
Mons’ voice is heard on the radio. I thought for a moment and then said. It was wrong to hesitate until now. From the moment she received the double commission, she…. No, they betrayed us. He didn’t stop there, he even betrayed his broker.
“The ninja betrayed me. Removed the ledger in front of me. Thanks to you, our mission is half success. I’m chasing the ninja right now.”
-Need support? Just tell me the location… Damn this. It’s an attack … Are you trying to destroy the building itself?
I was drawn in what situation.
“…… He must have wanted to hide the machines in the basement. It is a kind of destruction of evidence.”
-Not your average gangsters. They are professionally trained hangers! Back off. Their purpose is not ours. Among the requests we received, there is no content that requires us to protect the building. The ledger has already been destroyed. The mission ended with half success.
Mons said coldly.
Mercenaries are originally such a family, so it’s not surprising.
-Fortunately, they don’t actively attack us either. It smells like a homogeneous job.
“Can I apply?”
– I’m sorry, but it seems difficult. It’s a precarious situation. We don’t know how things will change the moment we get out of here. The moment we decided that our number was small… There’s a chance they’ll change. Give up after chasing moderately.
“I get it.”
That’s what I said, but I had no intention of giving up.
For the sake of the future, the Invisible Blade must be dealt with now.
