How did I end up with the name Susanoo?
Well… when I was left to the front door of the orphanage I came from, the headmaster himself is washing his nose when he was called out.
Among all the children in my age, I am the one who falls asleep fast. My body is very light but I never fall back against any other children when it comes to physical fitness.
I have an excellent reflex at a tender age. I also have a strong sense of smell and I can memorize the scents of people. The same goes for my visual recognition. When I see someone’s face, I can recall it as long as I wanted, if I don’t want to, I can forget it myself.
My eyes are always listless. Most of my assassinations are successful because who would suspect a lethargic guy like me?

“As I said…I shall go to the elf forest myself to investigate. You guys can go to the beast continent. But since…there are the dangers lurking…I suggest that you secure…the other heroes…”
“Susanoo, are you certain that you are going alone?!”
Edelweiss, you are too worried. The king contemplates for a while. He should consider…the safety… of those… who are in his…reach… before he go…tracking down Asagao…
“Ok, I have made a decision. Violetta and I shall go to the beast continent. We will take a ship from Krilm.”
“How about us?”
“Violetta, please warp Edelweiss to the castle.”
“King Fon, why?”
“Edelweiss, please protect the castle! We should be more alert on the devil's attack from now on. Lily, please go to the Dragon Palace and meet up with the heroes on the way. Please secure them.”
That was a good plan. Since Edelweiss is more suitable for defense and Lily is agile and fleet-footed.
“I have already told the plan. It’s simple as that. Susanoo, are you certain that you will go alone?”
“I am… I have a way…to travel by…myself…”
“I shall trust you. We should be prompt. Violetta, if you will.”
“Un.”
Violetta opens a warp. Probably a warp back to Krilm to secure a ship.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
I’m sorry Edelweiss if you are worried about me…I am very sorry, I have noticed it for quite a time now…
When they entered, the warp disappeared.
Now then, let’s do our main quest. I ask the red haired woman.
“Miss Cecille right?
“Ah, yes!”
“Where is…the most comfortable inn in town?”
“Eh?”
Let’s do this….Don’t get me wrong… Asagao is important for me too, but… I don’t want to go unprepared…

Not bad, I slept for twelve hours again.
The sun is setting. I already move, nighttime is my time…after all…
I have a genius idea. I made a mini warp from afar, then a mini warp below me… I drop myself on it. I was launch in the air.
Before the impact to the ground, I repeated the process… made a mini warp from afar… then a mini warp below… as the time goes…by… my speed increases…
I’ll just distort the speed and falling gravity to…soften my landing…
I’ll try it…
THUD
Oww… it hurts…I should learn from that…
Haa….
Another…trial and error…
THUD
THUD
THUD
THUD
THUD
THUD
THUD
THUD
THUD
THUD
THUD
THUD
Before I know it, the sun is already rising… my body is aching…I want to sleep again… but I need to go further…
WHOOSH
SPLASH
WHOOSH
Hmm?
A river?
My eyes are forcing my body to sleep. I am doing that mini warp then fling…but… my eyes…my consciousness fades…
.
.
.
SPLASH
Ah… it seems I am drowning…no…I can swim…I fell from a waterfall
Oh…I already reach the flooring of the water…it seems it is not that deep…since I ended up taking an early bath with cold water…I am somewhat awake…
I set my foot in the bottom and tried to swim up…oh… it seems the water level only…reaches my shoulder…so my head is peeking out…of the water surface…
“L-LET GO OF US YOU STUPID TREANT!”
“Don’t move too much…my head is spinning…”
Voices…ah… there are two children being suspended in the air…by some roots…the tree over there…looks odd…it has…eyes…it’s a pervert tree.
Oh…they are elves… about twelve years old…
One of them has a honey gold hair with pale skin… she has emerald eyes… her hair is long and silky…
The other one is a girl with silver hair with healthy tan skin…her eyes are also emerald in colors…her hair is silver…
They have a characteristic that all elves have…pointed ears…
They are pinning their skirt so it won’t flip. They are wearing matching pleated skirt and uniform like blazer which is white in color with black linings…
The little girl with golden hair called out to me when she saw me…
“Y-you there human!! C-can you help us out here?! I am going to give you a reward!”
“Un.”
I really wanted to do an experiment now too… by this moment…Priscilla is getting stronger at any moment…
There are so many possibilities with my… distortion…
I distorted the hormones within my body, overlapping the effect of adrenaline…
I distorted my visual perception and remove the color receptors temporarily. Everything turned black and white. This is to reduce the lag of visual perception to perceives an object.
I distorted the brain function releasing the human body limiter from 30% to 80%.
I distorted the air around me to remove the air resistance to my body. I won’t be breathing for a while after all.
I distorted sound barrier too to further improve my speed.
Lastly, I tried my hardest to distort the concept of time within the set range of my ability.
I then materialize a sword by distorting the materials in the air to form it.
Now, I need a name for this attack…it’s important you know…
Ah…
I know now…
I take my stance which is about to slash mid way…
Then…
[Totsuka no Tsurugi]
Everything around me slowed down.
No, it is almost as if time stops. I made my way to the treant. I swing the make shift sword in my hand and slashes at it.
Not only one slash, but I made ten slashes with the make shift sword which is length is over all ten fist.
After I pass through the treant, I release all the distortion I made.
…Tsk… my left shoulder is dislocated… my body feels heavy with the multiple distortions that I used…
I don’t think that attack can kill that man, but at least, I have something like a new trump card…
I can say the experiment is fruitful even though my body is a bit beaten because of myself…
My surrounding begins to move normally again, of course, I didn’t forget the little elves. I caught both in my shoulder and brought them down gently…
“Are you two…okay?”
“Eh?! EH?! W-what just happened?!”
“M-mister, you’re strong!”
They are looking at me with admiration. They are definitely children
Now, then, what should I do now…They seem to be…really noisy…
