The Assassin and The Blind Saint

Arc 3 Chapter 11: Back

We stayed three days longer in Runfeld Village waiting for the reinforcements sent by the Temple of the Goddess Athena to arrive. We don't want to risk going from here when our defence is inadequate.

On the other hand, the heroes had successfully completed their final trial. The three people who received the Holy Sword were Arthur, Prince Maxhill von Habsburg and Pierre de Poitiers.

For some reason, after obtaining each of the holy swords, the three of them looked extremely unhappy or excited. Especially Arthur, I saw him alone with Lena yesterday. She looked excited when she said something about being the Knight of her choice to Lena.

However, Lena rejected him by saying 'I've chosen my Knight, Arthur' For some reason, seeing his frozen face and being surprised to hear Lena's reply made me very satisfied.

Today we will begin our journey back to Wien City. I wish I could get a day off, what an energy-draining mission. Not a few dead members... I have to see their families.

It seems that I am indeed not suited to lead many people. I prioritized my mission more than the lives of my colleagues. Which is right? I don't know at all.

On the way home, we did not get any obstacles. When they reached Wien City, the residents again welcomed the group of heroes. However, it was different when they first arrived in this City with smiles and pride, now they look ordinary without greeting the citizens.

I think the Trial of the heroes changed their personalities a little. I wondered what the trial would look like to be able to change them in one night.

Arriving at the Archduke Palace residence, the Guard Patrols gathered in the second square to get my next order from me.

"You have carried out this mission with courage and honor. I am proud of you, the Saint is proud of you and the citizens of the Empire are proud of you. Let us do our last salute to our fallen comrades in the line of duty." After doing the opening, I then walked over to enter the ranks like the other Guard Patrols.

Not long after, several coffins began to enter the field area. The Guard Patrols who were lined up clenched their right palms then placed them on their left chests.

After the ceremony was over, the Patrol Guards then disbanded to report to the headquarters. After that, they can go back home and get a full five-day leave.

Now, I'm walking into the room of Chief Serena to report on the mission of escorting the Saint and the heroes. To be honest, I didn't expect any compliments. I just want to get this over with and sleep in my dark room.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Come in." I heard a cold voice that was very familiar to me.

Opening the door of the room, I saw the Chief looking out the window. Black hair was like the darkness of the night, a cold expression like the Ice Queen, and her elegant appearance showed her nobility. This view is like a beautiful painting that will get praise by visitors who see.

"Ah Sirius, what are you doing sitting at the door like that? Come inside." Realizing my presence, I then walked into the room.

"Sit down, Sirius," he ordered, sitting in his office chair. "Then, what about the mission. I want to hear it from you."

I then explained from the fight with the Nymphs on the bridge and the loss of three members to the fight with the Vampires in Runfeld Village where we lost almost half of the members.

"Vampire, huh? You're having a bad day there, Sirius," the chairman sounded sympathetic. "Lusa do you have a plan?" ask Chief Serena.

"I don't think so, why are you suddenly asking like that, Chairman?" The chairman rarely asks me things that have nothing to do with my work.

"Well... " He stood up and walked over to me. His hand touched my shoulder, his face was next to mine. "You want to go on a date with me?"

"....!" His voice tickled my ears. I smell the fragrant body of the Chairman. No, don't think about it, I so it's no different from Senior Hans if I do.

I put my face away, seen Chief Serena smiling mischievously at me. "You don't want to?" tanyanya while bringing her face back to me.

The chairman then returned to his seat. "Then it's decided, you can rest now, Sirius."

After exiting the Patrol Guard Headquarters, I then walked towards my residence. Seeing the atmosphere of Wien city that I miss a lot after doing a mission outside the city for a few days makes my mind feel clear.

"You're arrogant enough to turn out to be Angelo." I heard a voice as I was about to pass through an alley of the City. "Do you no longer need us? You just left our group."

"Aghhhh!" A child was seen clutching his stomach, apparently three other children were bullying him.

I then approached them and when I looked closer, the child holding his stomach looked familiar.

"All of you get out of here, or I'll force you into a holding cell" I threatened the three children.

"Don't forget this Angelo, we'll come to you again!" The three of them then left the child alone.

I walked up to the boy. In view of his condition, I don't think there was any injury to the inside of his organs. "Aren't you the thief I gave the money to?"

Hearing my words, he then began to look at me. "Yes, thank you for your help earlier, sir. Thanks to your money, my sister can be cured of her pain."

He then tried to stand while holding onto the alley wall. "Thank you for your help this time too, sir. I'll excuse you first."

However, before she could move, I held her hand. "Have you got a decent job?"

In response to my question, he just shook his head.

"Did they do this to you every day?" I asked who was looking in his eyes.

"Yes..," he said. "If I don't help them, my brother will they'll be looking for in return."

"Do you want to be able to fight them? Become stronger to be able to protect your sister?"

Hearing my question, he fell silent for a moment. "I'm just a weak boy, sir. How could I possibly defeat children bigger than me."

"Well... Defeating someone is not seen from how big or how much your opponent, Angelo."

"What do you mean, Sir?" he asked confused by my words.

"My name is Sirius, if you want, I can train you to fight" I bargained with him.

"Really!? You want to do this for me Sirius!?" He seemed to be excited.

Oi, oi, oi. Why has the way you talk to me changed? Huh... He is still a child.

"Meet me tomorrow morning in the town square, I'll train you some techniques so you can fight those three kids."

"Alright, Sirius!"
