At last! It's chapter 16! \(^_^)/
Sorry for the english
Please enjoy
========================================
With a small groan, Shena's head just fell on the table while she's surrounded by big pile of books around her table. It's been three days since she came to the library.
At first there are only around twenty books, but then the book she read keep increasing. That's because the information Shena need is not enough from the first twenty books and she need to borrow more books from 600-700 years ago.
Looking at how red Shena's eyes, people could tell that she's lack of sleep or overwork herself. Syl just walk toward Shena's chair while holding a piece of wet cloth.
"Here, put this on your eyes"(Syl)
"Thanks"(Shena)
Shena place the wet cloth on top of her eyes and lay down on the chair.
"You should take things moderately, if you keep doing things like this, you'll broken you know"(Syl)
Sitting on the table and the blowing her pipe, Syl touch Shena's chin and bring it closer to her face.
"Your face and lips already paled, and your body is cold. You really over work yourself with the [Mind of the Wiseman] skill of yours"(Syl)
[Mind of the Wiseman] is a special skill she get after evolving her [Photograph Memory]'s skill.
[Mind of the Wiseman]Due to special requirement, this skill was evolved from [Photograph Memory] skill, not only it retain the ability of [Photograph Memory], your brain able to reorganize every information itself over time by breaking and forming new connections. Unfazed by your surrounding, this ability grant you to think calmly in any kind of situation
[Photograph Memory]Due to the special requirement, you now able to recall images, names, words, and numbers with extreme precision
Because of that skill, Her working speed increase greatly, but using that ability consecutively could put load on her brain and stress her out, or worse, it could damage her brain. That is why, right now Arke is doing other paper report at Shena's office in her absence.
"Nah, I just have finish my research, I will go to sleep after this"(Shena)
"Hoo, so small groan just now is a groan of relieve?"(Syl)
"No, not really"(Shena)
While she reading those book, Shena also receive all sort of reports from her subordinate.
'Search and investigate every people on this list'
This order are dispatch in the morning right after the list written by Rune.
But only some of these people can be found through goverment records, not to mention how hard to obtain those information, since they're very strict with individual privacy. Luckily, She have some high position subordinate in certain kingdom and with some description from Rune, her subordinate able to pinpoint one person at the first day and three other person in the next two days.
Things seems went smootly at the first glance.
"It's groan of distress"(Shena)
Said Shena while one of her eye peeking from the wet cloth, her eyes look really tired and sleepy.
"Those list, we easily pinpoint four targets in three days, but, two of them turn out to be store's name"(Shena)
Realize where the conversation lead to, Syl exclaim in small voice.
"Aaa......isn't it bad then? You should..... no, if it that guy, your target should be dead by now"(Syl)
"Yeah, ugh....my head hurts. I will think about it later.....just...wake me up after three hours...."(Shena)
Syl give her answer by giving 'ok' sign with her hand and Shena just sleep like a dead.
_______________________________________
I.....don't know was just happened at Vuile's special room, but somehow I could feel my body shiver when I look at Vuile the moment I wake up.
This big fat guy with unfocus eyes scare me, somehow he look like a dead person. Well, more than scary, I would call him creepy. Unconciously, I grip tightly at Kiel's body.
"What's wrong?"(William)
Suddenly looking at my face, this William guy, he really have a strong gentle aura around him, just like a reliable big brother. If only he isn't smiling so blissfully while Vuile standing behind him like a dead doll, I wouldn't feel this eery.
"That guy, is he dead?"(Rune)
"Him? Yeah, his body is no more than an empty shell, Inside already rotten after all. Right now, this thing is just a brainless undead for me"(William)
This guy, he's scary!
I mean, I wake up because I heard a scary scream. This scream is very loud and like a death scream, even after Kiel shut my ears with her body, I could still hear it. When the scream was over, Cordelia lift the cloth from our cage and I could see Allan petrified while covering his daughter eyes and ears. Since Allan is over there and Cordelia is over here, then the origin of the scream is......from that....
........
...........
Have you watch movie 'the last ex□□□□'? Or play 'silent h□□□□'? The creature that crawling with twisted neck from the ceiling while attacking you with sharp teeth or long tounge?
The thing in front of me is similiar of that creature and maybe a little bit more scarier. Vuile eyes are shining red, foam and drool came out from his mouth, his body twisted and rampaging in wheel pose.
The moment look at that, I-i-i definitly not crying you know! I'm not crying or spontaneously hugging Kiel in fright or anything like that! N-not at all! I mean, K-Kiel isn't scared at all, so w-why I s-s-should s-s-scared o-of t-t-t-that t-thing!
*cough*
On contrary of my petrifi- I mean, my surprised reaction, that guy, William, he's smiling full of joy! This guy, I think he's twisted.
You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.
After a few minutes of that sca-....I mean weird rampaging and all, Vuile's body suddenly slump down, then he open his eyes like a guy who just woke up. His face are emotionless with a little bit unfocus eyes. Through dark magic called [Piper of Death], Vuile become William's undead pet or something.
He said to avoid any commotion, Shena already planned to fake Vuile suicide. With Vuile under William's spell, he could order him from far to create something like an alibi for us. After all, dark magic user is rare and treated as enemy of the light goddess.
So, the story is like this, people knows how obsessed Vuile with collection slave and how much debt he have. William came today to discuss about their business and decide to cancel the partnership because he just found out Vuile cheated the profit from him. Knowing he just lost the last chance, Vuile become desperate and stressed. That lead him to end his life along with his beloved slave by burn the house down.
Every single slave is change with corpses from William's item box . This item box work just like in the game, it devided into small, medium and large size also very expensive to buy. In the game, the only way to obtain it, you have do some dangerous quest or making it yourself by gathering raw materials from legend class monsters. Small can hold up to 40 empty space, medium can hold up to 100 and large can hold up to 200. Each space can be filled to 99 the same kind of object. This is the second time I done something like faking someone's death, is it popular menthod in this world or something?
I wonder where did he got so many corpses.....
.....on second thought, I don't wanna know.
While we all pull down the children cage one by one, Allan is crying on the corner while hugging his daughter. Before, he looked like marilyn monroe taking plastic surgery and it gone totally wrong. But after he cries, He looked more and more inhuman. I hope Arin isn't concious to see this.
As we place the last corpses, the problem now is how to move all of these kids with out the guard noticing them.
Cordelia pull out a big, red treasure box. [Tricky Treasure Box] is a magical item which is once again, one of Shena's invention. This box have 5 different keys to open it. Each key can open a different dimensional space. So, first, I open the box with key A and put some jewel in it, when I robbed by some bandit, open the box with key B, and the box will be empty. That way you can bring things much more safer. But once you put living things into that box, you can't put it back into item box. Unless it a corpses or a plant, you can't put a living being inside your item box. While the treasure box is visible if we bring it out, when we put it inside our cage and cover it with cloth, it become hidden.
That is why, I and Kiel are place inside the treasure box. It feels really weird, from the outside, you know its small, but when you get in, it look pretty big.
Really weird.
The plan work successfully. The a day after we back home, the undead Vuile set the house on fire, burning all of his belonging and the evidence. My work supposed to be done and I can do what ever I want! become an adventure in the fantasy world just like every boys dream of, start my own business to be filthy rich, win a national competiton, defeat a demon king, save and marry the princess.....eh, I'm a girl now, shouldn't I marry a prince?....uh....I'm saving a prince from demon king? Why would demon king kidnap the prince anyway?! I prefer the princess, but then, girl usually prefer a prince right? Uuugh..... let just think that later. The most important now, I can lazying around! AHAHAHA!
Or so I wish.....I have to make sure the prince defeat the prime minister. Still, I can become adventure while monitoring them from a far away place.
Right after we get back at the headquarter, I was called to Shena's office. When I close the door, she smiled at me.
"Congratulation, you just killed one of the eight main characters"(Shena)
"Eh?"(Rune)
Accidently, I lug out a weird voice. I heard her wrong right?
"Brocius isn't a person name, it a shop name"(Shena)
Huh? Brocius? He's one from eight main characters who support the prince army as a food trade merchant. He's a very skinny guy right? What does she mean 'it a shop name'?
"And Marline is also a shop name, it's the famous armour shop at the Marette Kingdom"(Shena)
Still not grasp the situation, I tilt my head.
"*sigh* [Vuile Hearst Beltran], the owner of Hedlod store, half year ago, his shop went bankrupt and he planning to open a new store with a new name, Brocius. The new store's name just authorized by the merchant guild last week."(Shena)
Looking very exhausted, Shena continue her explaination.
"The game you speak of, the characters with merchant occupation, they are named by their store name"(Shena)
"...Eh?!"(Rune)
That mean, I just destroy the good end it self?! Seriously?!
=====================================
Thanks for reading it (^_^)/
I will do my best to release next chapter in two days!
' The creature that crawling with twisted neck from the ceiling while attacking you with sharp teeth or long tounge?
The thing in front of me is similiar of that creature and maybe a little bit more scarier. Vuile eyes are shining red, foam and drool came out from his mouth, his body twisted and rampaging in wheel pose.' Imagine them in my head and I don't dare to walk at night in my house, it because the hallway is silent, dark and scary! My friend love horror story and he get surprise so easily. He accidently headbutting me because he was surprised while watching conju□□□□. And the week after that, he, once again headbutting the same person while we watch horror movie at his house. I start to wonder if he done it on purpose (•_•)
