The Assassin and The Blind Saint

Arc 1 Chapter 6: Elberim Village

[Eagle POV]

"I didn't expect anyone to be able to dodge my shot. The world is wide.”

While carrying my Heycat, I then began to approach the tower where my – colleagues entered. After almost 15 minutes of waiting. No sign – sign they are out.

“What happened there?”

I then ventured to approach the tower area slowly. Judging from the circumstances surrounding the tower, I don't think there is any human activity in it.

“The place is too dark and closed to be able to check it using scope.”

I waited a few minutes before deciding to enter the tower.

“What really happened!”

I saw the bodies of – bodies of my comrades who entered the tower. After checking back the tower area, I then started to check the cause of their deaths.

“Dee from the circumstances surrounding and their corpses, the man killed them with a quick ambush.”

I then saw the bodies of 2 other colleagues some distance from the other 3 bodies.

“Bos will definitely not like this incident.”

5 My comrades who died were units of – units trained by the Republic of Anconia intelligence agency. And one of them was a Tracer who was very difficult to train.

“I did not expect the rumors about Ouroboros' killer to be true. They have a very frightening ability as a killer.”

[Lena POV ]

The next day, I woke up not knowing it was morning or night. I didn't dare go out to check it out for fear that there would be bad people taking advantage of me later and making Sirius bother. I think I should wait for Sirius to come here. I then felt – palpable necklace he gave at that time. I think this necklace pendant has a circular shape.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

“Lena, are you awake?”

There was a familiar voice after knocking on the door.

“Yes, come in Sirius,” I replied.

The door opened and Sirius walked into my room and asked.

“Are you able to rest well?”

“Yes, I did not hear the noise of the crowd like before,” I replied. ”So Sirius, where are we going today?” my many.

“First – first, we will find breakfast first,” replied Sirius

I felt a cloth on my thigh.

“What is Sirius?”

“You have to change your clothes, right? I don't really understand about women,” she replied. “According to one of my friends, women will not be comfortable if they wear the same clothes. I think your previous clothes are also too dirty,” he explained.

“Daddy, thank you Sirius.”

I left my – clothes on the horse carriage before. Then I realized Sirius' words.

“By the way – says, Sirius turns out to have many female friends can know about it – this thing.”

He then sat down for a moment and replied.

“Hahhh. He is only often my partner works occasionally,” he replied. “And he always lectured me about this and that when we did work together,”.

“Begukah.”

I then bowed and realized, I had absolutely no idea what – is about Sirius. Maybe it's natural that I never told her anything about myself. I was eager to talk to him about my true self but, the Chief Priest forbade me from talking about this to anyone else.

“Then, I will wait for you to change clothes outside. You can wear it yourself, right?”

“Ummm.” I nodded in response to his question.

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

[ Sirius POV ]

I was waiting for Lena to change clothes. After killing the group from the Republic of Anconia, I cleaned myself up and visited some clothing stores for Lena. I just chose the clothes that she used to wear. After a few minutes of waiting, Lena finally came out and said.

“What do you think Sirius?”

I think Blouse's size is enough for Lena.

“That outfit suits you very well, let's hurry to find breakfast,” take me.

“Ummm.”

...Author Note: Illustration of Lena...

The two of us then left the inn and headed to the food and beverage district. Although Omor City is famous for its night world, – food in this city is also quite varied.

“Hey here come! Special meat stews Melguel City guaranteed will make you addicted!”

“Fresh drinks! Fresh drinks! Bochumia-typical Mauritus is guaranteed to quench your thirst!”

“The outside world has a wide variety of foods yes, Sirius,” said Lena amazed – amazed. “Hearing all kinds of food names alone has made me curious,” he added.

“For all this time, what did Lena eat a day – days?” my many.

“Keju, milk, sandwiches and vegetables,” answer.

“Sound boring,” reply.

Then we arrived at a place to eat that was not too noisy. They served me a meal I wanted to eat after I last tried it a few months ago.

“Lena, do you prefer spicy or sweet food?” my many.

“I entrust the choice to Sirius,” he replied.

“Good.”

I then ordered a special grilled fish with their special seasoning. After a while, our order arrived. Lena then tried the food in front of her.

“Enakkkk! This fish has a unique taste Sirius!” lena said with excitement.

“Do you want to try mine?”

Lena then took my grilled fish and started to taste it. Not long after, Lena's expression froze and her face began to turn red.

“Ahh Sirius! My tongue is burning, what kind of food is this?!”

“Ahahaha, drink your milk. That will help ease his spiciness.”

After we finished breakfast, we walked towards the exit gate of the City to continue our journey.

“Wahhh was so fun, I could try – things new!” Lena.

Seeing Lena cheerful made my mood start the journey for the better.

“You know Sirius, I've always wanted to explore this world as a child you know. Seeing the variety of beauty and variety of people,” said Lena with a melancholy tone. “While I cannot see, at least I can still feel the experience now,” Lena said while changing her expression to cheerful again.

I think I heard a rumor of magical living water that could cure all the diseases in the Elf country. Maybe I'll look for her after driving Lena to her destination. I want to see his expression when I can see the world again.

We walked for 2 hours and rested in a tree. The weather is hot today.

“Hey Sirius, why don't we rent a horse carriage to get to the next destination faster?” asked Lena who was sitting leaning against a big tree.

Lena didn't know she was on the hunt last night. I don't think I need to tell him to relax his mood. If we hire or follow transportation services, I'm afraid some people who are after Lena will easily follow us. If you walk, I can control the tempo and determine the direction of the trip myself so that it is difficult to track.

“Didn't you want to feel how vast the world is? I think if we walk, you'll get to know more details about that,” I quipped to make an excuse.

“Ummm. But with weather like this, when will we get to our next destination?” ask Lena.

“I think about 2 hours walk, we will arrive at a village called Elberim,” I replied.

“Good. While resting, I will introduce you to the teachings of the Goddess Athena!” Lena.

“Hahhh... good – good,” replied me in a less than enthusiastic tone.

After half an hour of rest, we continued our journey. Lena is still doing her talk about the teachings of the Goddess.

“So, human life would be better if they received and thanked what they have in this life,” said Lena.

“Did Lena ever feel a dissatisfaction in life?” my many.

“Yes. When I first lost my eyesight due to an incident, my life felt nothing,” Lena said in a weak tone. “But I realize, always depressed and blaming circumstances will not take me where – where,” he replied.

“Then, what if your happiness is taken by someone or your happiness leaves you? What's Lena gonna do? Seize your happiness taken by that person or just silently accept the situation?” my many.

Lena then kept quiet for a while before asking.

“What does Sirius want to say exactly?”

“That man is very fragile Lena,” answered me then looked at Lena. “Not many humans have the fortitude like you. Someone who is taken away by others will do – actions unexpected actions you know,” I explained.

“Lena's blindness is caused by an accident isn't it? doesn't happen because someone took it by force from you?” my many.

“I-tu..”

Lena's mouth was open and closed several times. He then closed his mouth and lowered his face. It seems that he wanted to answer my question but could not because of certain circumstances. I feel guilty making him moody.

“By the way - by the way, we've arrived.”

Lena then raised her face and said.

“Really?!”

“Yes. We have reached the village of Elberim.”

Lena and I were on a hill that could see the whole village of Elberim.

“Hey Sirius, let me know the view of his village!” lena Pinta.

“Good. Let's see, there is a wheat field, a lake on the outskirts of the village, also seen some people who are on the move in a garden,” I replied.

“Let's go there Sirius!” Lena.

“Alright, hold my hand if you don't want to fall. We're going down a downhill road,” I said.

We then went down the hill hand in hand to the village.
