48. Assassination (2)

[Accomplished!]

-First Assassination (Acquired) Achievement 1PT

Cause of Death – Polonium 210

“Ha…”

She didn’t die fighting, she was beaten to death by an unknown figure disguised as a nun.

Radioactive black tea, oh my god, what I thought was an urban legend happened to me.

I ran away from home and went missing.

It was my mistake to accept and eat what was given to me while being too concerned about being inside the church.

Rather than that, could you have predicted the assassination?

If predictions were possible, where would that be an assassination?

Of course, there are lunatics with the creed of assassination if there are no witnesses after killing everyone, but… Let’s make an exception for that.

[Retry time does not apply in non-combat situations.]

The good news is that unlike Legarete, I’m not running out of time, but…

“What did you kill for…?”

“Yes? Are you Einheri? What is that…”

After speaking to himself, I saw Philip, who was questioning in front of me.

It was only then that he realized what mistake he had made and smiled shyly.

“Ah, ahahahaha, nothing. I just have other concerns.”

A puzzled Phillip and Maria, who are still looking at each other with an expressionless face.

“I heard the story well… I think we need to discuss the new sponsorship a little more, but I want to talk in a positive way.”

Just as she was about to stand up after shaking Philip’s hand, Maria quietly opened her mouth.

When Raffy exchanged greetings with Philip, it was a time when the other attendants all shifted their gaze to their own circumstances.

It was only a slight movement of the lips without making a sound, but it was recognizable.

‘It’s different.’

Obviously that’s what he muttered.

And in Maria’s eyes, which are looking straight at me…

“Then I’ll see you next time hahahaha. Einheri-nim, Raffy-nim, please take good care of me.”

She was leaving the conference room the moment she said something because of Phillip’s inadvertent intrusion.

The moment I left, all I could see was a heavy piece of metal stuffed around Maria’s neck.

*********

“But it’s okay that I lied about it… Oh, this is a story.”

I repeated what I said without realizing it.

Should I say that I learned something from the Legarette case…

Since I had done the same thing before to get the same result, it was like a habit.

“It will be fine. Actually, we didn’t promise anything about the matter, we just came out after hearing the conditions.”

Unlike me, who stopped midway, Raffy repeated the same words without making a single mistake.

Same time, same action, same result.

The stories that take place in repeated time must be the same.

…Until I intervene.

“Shouldn’t you stop by the porters union for a while before going to the church?”

After drinking radioactive black tea, I could hear the assassin’s words clearly even when I was blind and unable to move my body.

The sin of knowing what you shouldn’t know, the sin of digging up what you shouldn’t, and…

“Pray for the good goddess to save you…”

As I continued to meditate on the situation from the previous episode, Raffy widened his distance slightly.

“Uh…Why?”

It was a slightly strange look.

“…Please don’t come close. It would be better to walk a little further.”

“Oh no! Wait a minute!”

It was Raffy who moved a little faster.

************

I wonder if even an adult can go crazy- I caught up with Raffy, who had a serious face on her face, and was sweating to dry it.

Somehow, he succeeded in dragging him back to the Porter Association like before.

“Give me some ice cold water… No, no, not that! No Raditol! Just plain water!”

I was frightened by Lucky’s action of taking out the Raditol from under the bar.

“Throw it all away!”

“No, this good water? Isn’t it a product that the church also guarantees? People say it works well.”

Write it.

Where on earth do I have to start talking about this crazy radium omnipotence?

I shook my head and brought up the main topic of the union.

“Do you accept escort requests from the Alliance?”

“Huh? You want to enter the labyrinth? Customer, by any chance, what floor have you been looking for?”

I waved my hand at Lucky, who quickly went into sales mode.

“I’m not trying to enter the labyrinth, I want to personally escort me, but I need someone.”

If it’s Lucky, then it’s perfect, because she’s definitely a guaranteed hand.

Not only did I endure against Legarete, who had the boss modifier applied, but even wrapped herself up to protect me at the end.

If there was a court gavel in front of me, ‘pass! They might have hit it, shouting “Earth, earth, earth”.

But what came back was Lucky, tilting his head.

“Huh? Is there a Templar Commander next to you? Isn’t the captain protecting you right now?”

Lucky pointed his finger at a spot in front of me and stretched out his hand.

Somewhere between my glass of water and my seat.

“If I cross that line, they will cut me down right away?”

“Yes?”

“They are standing with exact spacing. That’s great, as a keeper. He’s also the leader. Even at such a young age, I can see why he took on the role.”

As if he had no intention of crossing the line, he raised his hands and spat out words such as ‘Ugh, surrender’ in a playful way.

“I don’t know why you’re trying to save people, but first of all, there’s something I need to know… This isn’t a mercenary or adventurer’s guild, is it? It is clearly a transportation company that focuses on transportation and exploration within the labyrinth. Routine escort service is two blocks down.”

“I have a personal reason to seek it here.”

Absolute Proposition of Regression.

[To get the same result, you need to do the same thing.]

I don’t know how far the person trying to assassinate me is involved, but at least it’s not in this alliance right now.

I entered the union just like before, and after staying for a while, I had to go back to the church.

Then he’ll probably approach me when I’m left alone.

It was clear that something would go wrong if he fell into a place other than the Porter’s Union.

A situation where you can’t predict how a strange assassin will behave.

“Hmm, I want to hear the personal reason. Why would you bother leaving other places alone and using the alliance?”

“…Are you sure you won’t regret it?”

Lucky certainly regretted it before.

Are you going to kill the guy who did the background investigation?

“I am Lucky Luciano, a proud Dark Elf and the leader of the Porter Union! I have never had any regrets, and I have nothing to do!”

Looking at Lucky, who patted his chest and boasted, all he could do was sigh.

“That word, I really hope so.”

As if she couldn’t help it, she shook his head and slowly took off his jacket. Raffy was startled, but didn’t stop it.

I must have thought there must be a reason for my actions.

Lucky, on the other hand, seemed to be buffered by my sudden action, and covered his eyes with both hands.

“Even if you show off your beauty, you can’t do it…! You are human and I am a Dark Elf!”

“What are you talking about?”

Rather, he didn’t cover his eyes in the first place, but opened his fingers slightly to look through the gap.

Gulp, the sound of saliva dripping for a while.

“No, why, this, here, ah”

Only one Dark Elf left crying in front of the bar.

“Mo, can’t we pretend we haven’t seen it?”

“No.”

Nine distorted stigmas filled Lucky’s eyes.

And when Raffy saw that, his eyes widened and he rushed at me.

“No, there were 8 before…!”

Ah, that’s right.

One more added because of the year Assalza.

“Mo, can’t we do something we haven’t seen…?”

I had no choice but to cry the same way as Lucky.

************

Let’s go back later and leave it with her saintess. After leaving the words, Raffy glared at me with a blank look on her face.

There was no way to explain the sudden increase in stigmata.

That’s the act of avoiding an answer while fooling around.

To clarify, we need to talk about regression…

From noble mtl dot com

For that reason, the warning that Goddess Theia gave me keeps bothering me.

“…So what do I have to do?”

Lucky, who was muttering that he would kill all the guys who did the background investigation, asked me with a half-given face.

“In a way, it might not be a bad choice. An adult escort.”

I can put one more line in my cover letter, so wouldn’t it be a dog’s benefit?

“No, I’m a Dark Elf… I don’t believe in the Goddess Church… I wonder if it’s the World Tree…”

“Then please protect me with the feeling of protecting the world tree.”

“No, the commander of the Knights Templar is protecting you, right? But why?”

“Because it is not enough. Ah, it’s not that I lack skills or anything like that.”

Even if you look at it before, it happened while Raffy was away because of the knights.

Isn’t two better than one, regardless of whether the assassin intended it or not?

As if it wasn’t a big deal to Raffy, who was not convinced, and Lucky, who was curious, he threw a bomb in an everyday tone, like putting a simple loaf of bread in a toaster in the morning and toasting it….

“I’ll be assassinated in a little while.”

“…Yes?”

“….. Huh?”

A hook that rises at the same time.

“I need someone to protect me from the assassin… How about it Lucky, aren’t you interested yet?”

“Einheri! What is that…!”

“Shh.”

After making a gesture to the excited Raffy to be quiet, he stared at Lucky.

“It is not a dream for the alliance to take a step forward if you are entrusted with escorting me. Imagine… The alliance that saved a saint from an assassination attempt! The sight of an adult with nine stigmata thanking the Union in public…!”

“No… The union can’t do that…!”

“Ask for the ambition in your heart, not your ideals! I will give you a chance!”

I just slightly supported Lucky’s back as he hesitated at the crossroads of his choice.

As with Legarete.

“…How long have you been looking for escorts?”

************

As I left the alliance, Raffy clung too close to my side.

“…He tried to fall before.”

“An assassination may happen, but you cannot fall.”

Closing my wrists too tightly seemed like a bruise.

“More than that, how on earth did you know about assassination… Oh, by any chance… Those self-talks…”

Raffy looked around and whispered in my ear.

“Are you sure you have a vision for the future?”

“Huh?”

“Originally, a saint and a saint were prophesied to form a pair. The two of them becoming alike is inevitable in a way… Maybe it’s the same as their ability.”

From the point of view of taking the same action at the point of certain return, return was a clear upward compatibility of future foresight.

It was understandable that Raffy was mistaken.

Well, it’s not actually a future foresight, but he said he would make a reason for himself, but it didn’t seem necessary to refuse.

“After entering the order, I will be away for a while due to the work of the knights. Then just pretend to leave and come back.”

If it’s an assassination that will happen again after returning, shouldn’t we find out who it is?

From an outside perspective, nothing has changed at all.

After leaving the Alchemist’s Guild, stop by the Porter’s Association and head to the church.

The assassin will surely come again.

“Mr.

As if responding to the murmur, the shadow next to him shook.

It is said that it is the result of the combination of the Dark Elves’ own skills and artifacts, but it was amazing to see that it was invisible even though it definitely existed in front of me.

Perfect for Assassination…No, the technique is now optimized for escort.

Raffy follows a nun who has approached to deliver the news of the Knights.

“Ah, Mr. Einheri, I think I will have to leave for a while due to budget issues with the Knights Templar. Could you wait in the drawing room for a moment?”

I was left alone in the drawing room, staring at the picture engraved on the wall…

‘Smart’

A nun wearing a black veil opens the door and comes in with a couple of knocks.

A truck carrying a set of teacups was being pulled.

“Are you Brother Einheri?”

“…Yes”

“How about a cup of tea while waiting for the saintess? I brought a valuable item that can only be found in her hometown.”

The nun put on her navy blue gloves and was about to pour tea into her teacup.

“Rafi! Lucky! Catch it!”

In an instant, Lucky jumped out of the shadows, grabbed the nun by the neck, and threw her to the floor. Raffy, who was waiting cautiously outside, spurred her through the door.

“Ke, Kekek…!”

A nun coughing up her cough in agony, no, she held on to the assassin’s veil.

“Let’s see that mug sometime.”

That face she fed me polonium-210…!

The veil was lifted and the face revealed-

“Huh?”

It was different from what I remembered. No, she was a different person.

It was in her ears that she was convinced that she was not an assassin.

In the previous episode, the spiked beast’s ears that were on top of the assassin’s head were missing.

The face of the woman with tears and drooling was different from what I remember, probably because of Lucky’s hand gripping her neck.

But why…?

It was definitely the same behavior as the assassin in the previous car, no change.

But the future has changed.

“This person…”

It was a face Raffi knew, a nun who had been training at the branch for over five years now, an assassin who left no room for suspicion.

So what about tea?

When I opened the lid of the teapot and looked at it, the information window that came to my mind was just the text of an ordinary black tea, and polonium was nowhere to be found.

A piece of paper was placed under the teapot, feeling as if the memory of the previous tea I experienced had turned into a dream.

When I lift it up, what is written there is none other than-

-Dear. EHR

Abbreviation of my name.

“…Do you know what this is?”

I showed the letter to the nun, but she didn’t seem to know it at all.

I’ve read it before, a method of killing by poisoning a letter or putting a memorized message inside.

I looked at the letter carefully, but nothing caught me.

When I carefully opened the letter, what came out was a very long, endless series of sentences.

That’s the same thing over and over again.

My expression hardened when I saw that.

-It was you? Turning back time.

-It was you? Turning back time.

-It was you? Turning back time.

-It was you? Turning back time.

-It was you? Turning back time.

-It was you? Turning back time.

…..

…..

…..

And- it happened.

If you hadn’t opened it, it wouldn’t have happened if you had just received your tea and passed by-

…..The trigger was activated.

Information window written in unknown characters, dizzy head.

Where did the twist come from?

I stopped and closed my eyes.

“f*ck.”
