The Assassin and The Blind Saint

Arc 2 Chapter 4: Investigative Mission

"Thank you, Sir Sirius. If you'd like, would you come for dinner with us?”

In front of me was a girl Lena's age. She is beautiful and quite well known in this city. His father was also a well-known businessman and was good in the eyes of the townspeople.

How can I be in this position? Long story short, I was with Senior Hans, Rigel and Kurt returning from a mission to patrol around the corner of the city.

On the way home, I saw two robbers who were stealing from a family when the road looked deserted. In short I quickly single-handedly crippled the two robbers.

“Hey Rigel, want to bet one Shilling that Sirius will take Miss Mirela's offer?” Senior Hans whispered to Senior Rigel, while Senior Kurt was tying up the thieves.

“Alright, there's no way Sirius would do that. Aren't we gonna have a drink tonight?”

Why are you guys suddenly betting such whispers, I can still hear you guys know.

I then looked behind Miss Mirela, seeing that Father and Brother were whispering as well.

“Hey Dad, is that guy going to take away brother? Marrying Sister Mirela? I have never seen Brother see a man with such a gaze,” asked the sister in a quivering voice.

For a moment, I felt a De Javu about this. The face of the sister looks like it's going to cry.

“How about Sir Sirius?” ask back Miss Mirela offered her hand and looked me in the eye. An ordinary man would definitely fall by his charm.

Sorry Senior Hans, I don't think I'm on your side for this time.

“Sorry Miss Mirela, I have an appointment with the Seniors tonight.” I said it in as neutral a tone as possible.

“A-Whataa!? She rejected such a beautiful girl!?”

“That’s my Boy!”

I heard the voices of my two diverse Seniors behind. Seen in front of me, Miss Mirela's face looked grim and the Little Sister behind her gave me a thumbs up sign.

“Be-so? Maybe next time?”

“Ya... maybe in another time.”

The family then left and left this place.

Plakk

“Hey Sirius! You are arrogant enough to reject such a beautiful woman! Don't think all beautiful women would easily submit to you if you had such a personality!” Senior Hans patted me from behind then started nagging.

Isn't that what you have to question your perverted personality to the Vice Chairman?

“Remember this! You owe me one Shilling!” After saying that, he started walking on his own first.

“Haa..” I can only sigh at his words.

“Hey, we have to take these two robbers to headquarters before going to Eliza Tavern for drinks,” Kurt said.

“Good Senior.”

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

In a cave on the border of Duchy Salisburg with Archduchy Astria.

It was the main headquarters of the Wings of Freedom Rebels in the Habsburg Empire. They look relaxed and their mood looks good.

This is because after doing their act of burning tax money in the city of Silesia, they get a lot of support from the small people who make many of them participate in becoming members of the Wings of Freedom.

At this time, Leon and his two companions were on the other side of the cave along with a spy man from the Republic of Anconia.

“Your actions in Siselia City make my boss very satisfied.” Leon and his partner smiled at the spy's words. ”However, Operation in Wien City suffered a total failure,” he added.

Hearing this, Leon and the others looked gloomy on his face. Many of their members were caught there.

“The problem is The Black Mamba, he has good leadership in directing his subordinates.” The person Leon is talking about is Serena. “He is also very strong as an individual. Even with the equipment and weapons that your country gave us, we still can't do much there.”

“Take it easy. My superior says, the Republic will send you an even better weapon to help you take down the Patrol Guard in Wien City. The goods will be sent on a river line made in secret at the border of the City in one week.”

After the spy left, Leon and his two colleagues then had a conversation.

“Hey Leon, why do you trust his words so much?” ask the female colleague.

After hearing Leon's words, Annie could not speak anymore.

“Then, how do we solve the existing problems in Wien City? Are you sure about sending that guy to do the operation there?” ask Leon's Man this time.

Hearing this question, Leon's expression turned grim.

“We have no choice. To face the Woman, we need a person who has no doubt and indiscriminate in doing surgery.”

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

That night, I was with the Seniors having drinks at Eliza Tavern. This was the usual gathering place for Adventurers and Patrol Guards at night.

Unlike the Patrol Guard, adventurers only perform tasks related to monsters to assist security authorities in dealing with a threat. They will be neutral if they face a rebellion or war with another country.

“Hey Sirius, I still can't believe you've rejected Miss Mirela.” Senior Hans said as he drank his beer to the end. “Kuhhh— nothing beats the pleasure of drinking in Eliza Tavern after work!”

“As for Miss Mirela—'s Father Mr. Radolf, he is one of the Members of the House of Commons. However, unlike the other Board members, he is very reluctant in this city.” Senior Kurt opened a conversation.

“Iya I agree. Unlike most big business people, Mr. Radolf did not raise the prices of the products he sold.” Senior Rigel said that after sipping his beer.

It turns out there are still humans with such personalities, right? But there's something I'm afraid of. Such people tend to change very drastically with just one really bad day.

That's because I've seen it before.

“For now, let's celebrate this Junior of ours who prefers his comrades in appeal to the most beautiful Woman in the City! Toast!”

“Ahahaha, I'm afraid Senior Hans doesn't agree with it.” In view of her relationship with the Vice Chairman It was clear who occupied as the most beautiful woman in Senior Hans' heart.

“Biiriiuusss! Don't you know you're uhukk.. Bleghhh!” Senior Hans choked on his own drink while yelling at me.

I think he's half drunk.

We spent the night telling each other silly experiences and drinking together.

The next day, Senior Hans and I were summoned to face the Chairman in his room.

“Senior Hans, what do you think the Chairman wants to talk about?” We were walking to the Chairman's room on the top floor.

“Now, usually the Leader calls specifically like this if there is a special mission that will be given to the members.”

Special mission, huh? I guess I'm no stranger to things like this.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

“Ya... Login.” The Chairman's voice did not change at all, cold as usual.

I opened the door and saw the Chairman reading the files on his desk. Senior Hans and I then walked in and sat down on the chair in front of the chairman's desk.

“I call you guys to do an investigation mission.”

The investigation? It's okay I think, I used to do this kind of thing in Ouroboros.

“You will investigate the auction of human slaves and Demihuman prohibited by Imperial Law.” Without formalities and pleasantries, the Chairman went straight to the point. “Informan we say, the auction place is around the Forest Eldea.”

The chairman then issued a document inside his drawer. There is an illustration of the man and his data in the document.

“Then, investigate this person. According to our informant, he knew about the auction's main network information. So, take a person from the Spiritual Department in this task.”

It's the first time I've been assigned to a unit from another department.

“I suggest you guys move in the afternoon today. Is there anything you want to ask?” ask Chairman.

“No Lead.”

“No Chair.”

For reasons unknown to me, the Chief then looked me in the eye.

“If there is no, you can go from here.”
