The Assassin and The Blind Saint

Arc 2 Chapter 1: Patrol Guard

It's been two months since my breakup with Lena. I'm now living my life as the newest member of the Patrol Guard. It's been two weeks since I started this profession. A profession my father used to do.

“Us...”.

Is this the best way for me to atone for my sins?

"The siriuss! Woy!”

I was struck by a loud voice calling my name. I then glanced at him. A man as tall as I can.

“Are you deaf? Why are you daydreaming like that! Hard to believe this new kid.” His expression looked very upset.

“I'm sorry Senior, I only thought of my hometown,” I replied.

“Hee~ is where your hometown is?”

“Kingdom of Thuringia,” answered me flatly.

Upon hearing my reply, Senior Hans expression began to turn like he felt guilty. Maybe he felt bad because the Thuringian Kingdom was being ravaged by the Demon King's army.

“Don't think of nothing while on patrol duty, you have to professionally do your job you know,” he said then walked back in front of me.

“You're right, Senior, forgive my mistake.”

“Have not said much, it is almost noon, we should go to the usual place to fill our stomachs. Doing this task requires energy you know.”

We were walking in the center of Wien City the capital of Archduchy Astria. Special territory granted to an Heir of the Habsburg Empire. This city is the most advanced compared to the others. It might only lose to the Imperial capital, Ruhmstadt City.

We are being given patrol duty by the leadership because recently, there have been many cases of criminality and terror committed by Wings of Freedom rebels.

In the Patrol Guard, each member would set up a two-man team to patrol. The Wien City Guard Patrol has at least 1000 personnel divided into several departments. Field, Spiritual, and Logistics.

I myself belong to the Field, which deals with crime in the field directly and which is the main force of the Patrol Guard in dealing with crime.

After walking for a while, we arrived at a place to eat. Seen some Patrol Guard who was stopping by for lunch break.

This place is a favorite for field officers because it is comfortable and simple. The food is also not strange and is perfect for those of us who do this job.

“Yo Hans! How does it feel to do a task with the new kid?” ask one of the officers there.

We sat down on a chair with a long table in front of a cashier. And order a meal of wheat that is round in shape and has a hole in the middle. This food is called Donut. I think this food was inspired by the food in the Republic of Anconia.

Even though their country is often in conflict. However, it does not make these traders become closed in terms of business.

“Well, he's still mending than my previous partner. At least this new kid doesn't complain too often.” Hans answered the officer's question.

“Hee~ so? Isn't it that your previous colleagues came out or moved because your mouth is so noisy?” seduce the officer.

“You're just jealous of me saying that bad thing. Because I was closer to the vice chairman and often interacted with him,” said Hans who teased them back.

“…!”

Vice-chairman Clarissa, is she? She is a disciplined woman and deserves an example. No wonder so many officers respected him.

“You know what it feels like to be close to the often-shaking pile of Vice Chairman's meat when walking?” hans asked which made the other officers come closer curious. “The two balls are very tempting you know. I find it very difficult to concentrate when doing the blessing if he is next to me waiting for the file I am working on to finish,” explained Hans.

“Sial! You're so lucky! Hans got more attention from Vice Chairman!” one of the officers was envious.

“One stays! Absolutely right! And do you know how fragrant her perfume was when she was near me? Like the fragrance celestii..”

This time the officers were silent and did not respond to Hans' words.

Slings

There was the sound of a sword being plucked from its sheath.

“So ya~ you like my scent, huh?”

Hans then turned around and found in front of him a woman whose face looked sinister.

Hasn then jumped out of his chair and began to run as hard as if his life depended on his running speed.

“Don't run away you, trash!”

The Vice Chairman then chased Senior Hans with a terrifying aura.

“Hahaha!”

The attendant who witnessed it, laughed at their daily habits.

“Hey Sirius, the food he ordered has not been paid you know,” said one of the officers gave me a bag containing two doughnuts.

“Hah... well, I'll catch up with him and give him lunch,” I said as I paid and took the bag.

...----------------...

On the other side of the City, two mysterious people are in a historical museum. In the center of this museum, there is an Ancient Artifact from one of the heroes of the Habsburg Empire.

In those days, the Hero Karlomann sacrificed his life in the face of the dragon monsters that attacked the Empire.

He managed to kill the dragon, but his life was not helped because of injuries from the battle. After his death, the Armor was retired and displayed in memory of the Hero who became a symbol of the courage and glory of the Habsburg Empire.

“There are four guards around the dome and dozens more scattered in various rooms of the museum. Will its explosive power destroy it enough?” ask a mysterious man to his partner.

“Captain said, the explosion was even enough to make a hole in a steel wall 1 meter thick.”

“Alright, we just have to wait for the signal from the others before doing our action.”

Not long after, some people were seen fighting around the museum. The guards began to arrive to disperse them. It was the comrades of those two mysterious figures who became a diversion for the two of them.

Fights grew that resulted in all officers having to participate to neutralize the commotion. Two of the four security guards guarding the perimeter of the dome where the armour is located must also leave.

“For visitors please come out so that this commotion does not widen!”

The two men did not heed the officers' warning and walked closer to the dome.

“Hey! Visitors are ordered out! What is ka—“

Dorr!

The chief officer suddenly spat out blood and his body then collapsed onto the floor.

“You turned out to be a group of pembero—“

Dorr!

Both officers died with wounds on their heads.

“What sound is it!? Hey you! What are you doing!”

The rest of the security guards then realized that both of their comrades had been killed. They rushed to the two men, but suddenly a smoke filled the room out of nowhere.

“Sial! One of you, hurry out and contact Patrol Guard and activate the magic alarm that is on the second floor!” order one of the officers who appears to be their chief.

Bomb!!

Suddenly there was a sound of explosion in the museum room. The explosion injured several security officers.

“Sial! What really happened!?”

The security guard then began crawling closer to the dome of the armour. He was surprised to find the contents of the dome empty.

...----------------...

I chased Senior Hans and the Vice Chairman up to the Town square.

“Here you are, Trash! I'll make sure you can't walk a whole week!” The vice chairman shouted after Senior Hans in the crowd.

“A-what do you mean!? I don't intend to retire early you know!”

The townspeople are confused to see a female Patrol Guard officer chasing a male member.

“They again-they again. Oi! Aren't you guys bored like that almost every day!”

Some traders are even familiar with their antiques.

I kept following them and saw Senior Hans being cornered at a dead end. He tried to retreat but was blocked by a tall building.

“De-hear Clarissa, as the trader said earlier. Aren't you tired of chasing me?” Senior Hans tried to negotiate because that was his only hope.

“Well, do you want a quick or slow way?” asked the Vice Chairman with a sadistic smile.

BOMBMBBB!

Suddenly, I heard an explosion. Smoke billowed from behind the buildings. I then approached them and reminded them to end their antiques.

“Vice chairman! Senior Hans! There was an explosion, can you stop playing?” my door.

“The explosion... I think it came from the direction of the museum, right not Sirius?” ask the Vice Chairman. “Alright, we must hurry. I'll go back to the base and tell the leader. Sirius and trash like you try to the Kindergarten and check what really happened.”

“Do not rule me!”

“Siap Perform!”

We responded with a different answer. The vice-chairman then left us both.

“Then, what will we do Junior?”

You kidding? You're his senior here.

“Let's go to TKP first to see the situation according to the direction of Vice Chairman.”
