This chapter is very tiring me out.
It longer, and heavier, even though I now have only one hand here.
But please enjoy.

Vol.1
Ch.11 I got attacked by a.s.sa.s.sins, so I kill them.
We search every corner of worshipping ground ruins, but we didn"t find any clue at all.
I thought we might find some doc.u.ment or any recording, but it all fretten out by time.
There is nothing like a stone tablet too.
“This is all we found huh?”(Taichi)
What we found is small G.o.d"s idol, which was in the hall next to the hall with the altar.
And just as we thought, its appearance is also plain without any detail.
Before that, is this really a G.o.d"s idol?
It can really help, so we continue to search outside, at those lodging building-like outside, but……………….
“There is nothing at all….”(Marl)
“Yeah”(Taichi)
There is not any clue inside that lodging building-like too.
To be precise, there is some broken pottery but when I used Appraisal eye, it all normal junks.
I used Appraisal eye on G.o.d"s idol too, and it just shows that is [Ancient G.o.d"s idol].
Conclusion, no details at all.
So, I put it in inventory for the time being.
—————————————————————————————————————————————–
Our tension was down from continue searching and got us nothing, I"m now lying down on the topmost stairs step that covered with moss.
Marl is also lying down too, she using my belly as her pillow.
Well, we got a lot of items, but we can"t solve any mysteries here, so it feels frustrating.
Forget it, this is not a game, I don"t need to solve a mysteries that can"t be solved.
“Marl—“(Taichi)
“Yesss–?”(Marl)
“I"m———–“(Taichi)
“Yes—–“(Marl)
“Seem to be something like that summoned Hero—-“(Taichi)
“Heh—……..Eh?”(Marl)
Marl jumped up to sitting pose and look at my face.
That serious eye is so cute that I want to hug her right now.
“In truth, when I realized I was on the plain in front of Crossroad, on the day I met you. Even though there is no one besides me but in my inventory, there are some money and some basic necessary tools to live, so I choose to become an adventurer.”(Taichi)
I closed my eye and telling Marl my story.
Marl haven"t said anything too.
“Well I still have past memories, to be precise I"m not people of this world. The world where I came from is [plar opposite of this world, there is nothing like magic nor monster. I lived in a peaceful country, that is not related to war for 50 years.”(Taichi)
Marl lie down and use my belly as her pillow again.
That weight on my body made me relax.
“You have noticed right, that I"m not different from other.”(Taichi)
“Taichi-san is Taichi-san.”(Marl)
Marl"s hand is patting my head.
I can"t believe that I"m hearing the sentence that most protagonists with supernatural power have heard.
“My most important person.”(Marl)
If I have to describe my own feeling, I"m frickin very happy.
I can"t help but fall for her more and more.
**phhh** Marl is frozen up.
And something falling onto my chest.
I pick it up and checking it, it was bow gun"s arrowhead.
“Taichi-san!”(Marl)
“Protection!”(Taichi)
I instantly raise my left hand up and releasing magic power to create a light barrier, to block incoming projectiles.
I"m now hugging Marl to protect her and checking vicinity around us.
The projectiles before is an arrowhead.
When I use Appraisal on arrowheads on the ground, it has been coated with deadly poison too.
Mithril ring that Marl was wearing is broking down from her finger.
“Oi, oi, isn"t this too fast!?”(Taichi)
I use my Magic eye to scanning a forest in the surrounding of ruins.
Because living being will always release a faint amount of magic, when I use Magic eye I can see where they are.
I open up the menu and raise Poison resistance to Lv.2, seem like it max Lv. is 3.
If I want to max it, I need 9 points, my remaining skill points now is 9………..
I want to raise it to the max, but I should reserve these point for now.
If it not an instant death, I can use magic to cure poison.
But, they are too fast in chasing after us.
Even though when we didn"t do anything suspicious before we left, but it too strange that they know our location.
“Air shield!”(Taichi)
I cover myself wind swirling wind and pickup Marl with princess carry, and dash for the lodging like building.
All incoming arrows are all repelled by the wind.
This Lv.2 wind magic is useful.
“Don"t come out if I didn"t say so.”(Taichi)
“T, Taichi-s————-!”(Marl)
“Earth wall”(Taichi)
I throwing in Marl who look like she about to tell me something, and sealed the entrance with Earth wall, now if this doesn"t break then they can"t hurt her.
“………….Well”(Taichi)
I have a match with humans before at the guild and knight"s barrack. Now is the first time to kill one.
I forcing my trembling legs to stop with warcry.
Group of men dressed in black clothes like a.s.sa.s.sins has surrounded me.
They have around 30.
“You guys, you must have been preparing your heart.”(Taichi)
If it"s not for that ring, Marl would have died already. That means these b.a.s.t.a.r.d have killed Marl once already.
When I thinking about that, darkness clouds my mind.
“I"ll kill you…………………………….I"ll kill you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, don"t you think you can die easily.”(Taichi)
Do you think I"ll forgive you after I torture you? No way.
They"ve killed Marl once.
I charged magic power to a battle staff.
With this amount of magic power, if it hit a human, it will not leave anything.
**click** Switching my minds.
I won"t give a f**k now.
Suddenly, they jumped at me from three ways.
Poison coated blade flashing before me, aiming to stab my body.
“Hyahha–!!”(Taichi)
I sweeping my magic charged battle staff horizontal.
Three guys that were jumping at me can"t dodge it, cause they"re in midair.
They"re being hit by swinging battle staff directly.
**Splat**
Three bodies become a piece of meats, flying and splattering around.
Bone fragments and a piece of meats that were flying at high speed, become a debris and damaging the other black clothed guys that were readying themselves.
Half of them missed it, only good sensed ones can dodges.
Haham What is this?
They died too easy.
Are you kidding?
What is the meaning of this, why the h.e.l.l are you die this easy?
“Hah!”(Taichi)
I jump into blood fog and smashing battle staff at the guy who still crouching.
**Splat**
This is just like a tomato.
What is this?
They"re too fragile, too soft.
Like trashes, yeah, because they"re a trashes.
I won"t forgive you, I won"t forgive you, I won"t forgive you.
“Even though you"re just a trashes!”(Taichi)
Then one of them makes a move.
His weapon is a long sword, the blade is faintly glowing, Magic strike huh.
I swing battle staff that was charged with magic power again, to receive a slash.
**PAN!**
The explosive sound broke out, like a car crash accident.
My battle staff broke his sword into pieces.
a.s.sa.s.sin opens his eye wide, my magic isn"t puny like you, trash!
I swing battle staff at the one who slashes at me.
My side hurt—— one of them stabbed me with a short sword without me noticing.
In that split second, I bent myself to make it less lethal and use my elbow to smash his head.
I can feel skull smashed, he falls down without power.
Don"t know why, but even though there is a sword piercing through my side, I don"t feel hurt that much.
And this feeling that still spreading, poison is it?
Concentrate, using detox magic.
It hurt, my wound hurt! b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, I"ll kill you all!
This time is my turn, I"ll test my new technique on you.
“O Water!”(Taichi)
Large water sphere fastly forming above me, then I condensing it to a basketball size instantly.
I focusing my magic power, lock on, activate.
Water ball is now shooting many high-pressure water lasers.
Thrashes in black clothes are screaming.
I intentionally missed your vital to hear your trash"s scream in agony, you know.
There are two of them who didn"t receive this attack, you two are d.a.m.n lucky.
It must because they decide to retreat, they turn back and start to run, but it"s too late.
My battle staff is piercing through one of running away guy.
Then I throw a body of the one I just pieced to the last one.
After hitting sound, last black clothed who got hit by a corpse is rolling down through the moss covered stairs.
I apply healing magic on myself while walking to the last one.
Her bone must break somewhere.
The last black clothed is groaning painfully while slowly crawling out from under a corpse I threw at her.
“Where do you think you"re going?”(Taichi)
I speak like I talk to an animal prey that is about to run away.
I kick away the corpse and grab the head of the last one.
I"m dragging him up through stairs and pull off the mask.
“Hoh”(Taichi)
Lucky, even though you"re vile, but you"re a beauty. Her age might be middle 20"s.
Her face on the left side is covered with blood, her head must be hurt somewhere.
I grab her black hair that is soaking with blood and turn her groaning head to her comrades that lying in agony on the pool of blood.
I will make them repent.
“You see? You see this right? Your trash comrades. You think you"re going to kill me? You think you can take Marl, who is my most important person, away from me? is that right? Do you want to take my important one, you must be prepared too, right?”(Taichi)
I continue dragging her black hair.
There are 7 of them that is still alive, not bad.
I take out rope from the inventory and tie up a woman to not let her escape.
Then I drag one of them whose hurt badly and can"t move, and place him in front of her.
I pull his mask out.
A man around late 20"s.
Broken leg, there is white thing pieced in his shoulder.
Might be the bone of the first three.
“Great, I"ll tell you the rule. I"ll ask this trash, if he doesn"t answer, I"ll ask you with the same question. And if you don"t answer, then I"ll kill this trash, easy right?”(Taichi)
Her expression when she hears that make my s.a.d.i.s.t heart beating.
This kind of trashes, you need to crush their heart under your foot, crushing both their mentally and physically.
“This looks fun, I"ll kill you last.”(Taichi)
I"m getting turned on.
Even she is a trash, she is a woman.
I"ll mess her up.
—————————————————————————————————————————————–
“……………………Fuu”(Taichi)
Once I burned their corpses and scattering their ashes through the wind, I let out a breath.
And at a nearby floor, a.s.sa.s.sin girl———–Flam is spreading her messed-up body powerlessly.
She looks up at the sky, with an unfocusing eye.
I left Flam who is trembling on the floor and undo the Earth wall, letting Marl out.
When Marl sees me, she jumps out with a face full of tear and snot.
“Taiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiichiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-saaaaaaaaaaannnnnn!! UWAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”(Marl)
“There, there, sorry.”(Taichi)
I hitting Marl"s who is hugging me softly in the back, she buries her head in my chest and hugs me tight.
Even my blackened heart got healed, but this is not the end.
I"m pulling Marl hand, and lead her to Flam.
“T, This……Taichi-sam, did this?”(Marl)
“Ah, yeah. to the trash who tried to kill Marl, this is not even close to enough.”(Taichi)
When she see Flam condition, she knows what I"ve done to her.
And when she sees only Flam here, she also knows what happened to the rest.
“Will you still coming with me?”(Taichi)
“………..I will”(Marl)
Marl speak and looking at me with a sad face, she caressed my face while crying.
No, that is not a sad face.
Why are you making face like you"re apologizing? Why are you look like you"re going to die soon?
“Don"t worry, I won"t let these trash kill you. I will protect you.”(Taichi)
I hug Marl, and she hugs me back.
Right, it should be like this.
I use magic to clean Flam and heal her.
Both sweat and strain were cleaned instantly, the wound on her body also healed up.
Then I make her wear Marl"s spare clothes and tied her up on the earth pillar which I use magic to create.
“What are going to do with this person?”(Marl)
“This trash, she is Karendale kingdom"s knight. So, I think about to bring her as a bargain and prove of attack. What do you think about this.”(Marl)
“They would say that they"ve no relation to her and ignore it for sure.”(Marl)
“Right, she is not even enlisted in a normal knight order, should I kill and burn her………………… Well, how about lying about she is a bandit and selling her as a slave?”(Taichi)
“If she has attempted murder at her Achievement and crime, then the possibility is high.”(Marl)
Marl explain, so I look at Flam.
“Ah, there is.”(Taichi)
Name: Flam Folsess
Lv: 19
Skills: Etique1, Horse riding 2, Sword 3, Shooting 2, Stealth 2, a.s.sa.s.sination 2, Deceive 1.
Alia.s.ses: a.s.sa.s.sin, Knight of Karendale kingdom.
Achievement and crime: Attempted murder.
That is the detail from Appraisal eye.
Her fighting power is higher than Marl.
And there is no murder nor rape at my Achievement and crime.
I thought there would be something like rape at it.
“By the way, I have nothing like murder or rape at me, do you know why?”(Taichi)
“I think because these peoples attacked us first. To the peoples who have a crime of murder, attempted murder, rape, robbing, arson, whatever you do with them, there will be no crime appear on the list.”(Marl)
“………….Who is deciding that law?”(Taichi)
“The one who put in Achievement and crime is the G.o.d of judgment.”(Marl)
“……………Is that so.”(Taichi)
What will happen if these peoples success in killing me and Marl, now I"m curious.
But they come here because they have a job to hunt down a people, so thinking about it is futile.
Just so you know, who have power wins, it"s that easy.
“Well, can you tell me? The thing that you have interrogated them.”(Marl)
I nod to Marl and explain what I heard.
First, these filthy a.s.sa.s.sins are from Karendale kingdom.
Look like they are the special force which trained as an a.s.sa.s.sin to do dirty works, by picking talented peoples from the knight order.
This special force wasn"t listed as an official knight order.
This operation was forced to run by the n.o.bles who support in killing a Hero.
And with Hunter knife that I got from Commander Twanich, they tracked us to this ruins.
“Maybe it"s the [Secret seal]. Taichi-san, is there a weird engrave somewhere on the knife?”(Marl)
“This one on the handle?”(Taichi)
It must be this engravement on the handle.
However, the secret seal has different in ability.
It depends on the character of “Secret seal” that was engraved.
The one on the handle seems to be used for telling its location.
When I ask Marl about can it even carved inside, the answer is no. It has to be craved on the outside only, so it"ll work.
“Should we scratch it off right now?”(Taichi)
“No, it might be better if we left it on”(Marl)
When I tilting my head at Marl answer, I hear a sound of trees moving.
From that, I know a lot of them is coming our way.
“Taichi-dono! Are you safe!?”(Walls)
What coming out of the forest that surrounded the ruins and appears before us is Crossroad"s knight order led by Walls and his soldiers.
“What do you have business here? Peoples from knight order of Karendale kingdom who send me an a.s.sa.s.sin.”(Taichi)
I take battle staff out from the inventory and look down at them from the top of the stairs.
Captain Walls is shown relieved face when he sees me but turned tense when he heard my remark.
I signal Marl with the eye to drag Fram who is still absent-minded here.
“They"re 30 before, but now she is only one left alive. And she spills out a lot of interesting things too.”(Taichi)
I Pretend to smile and look down at every single one of them.
Captain Walls seem to be choosing his word carefully, then he starts to explain.
“It certain that Taichi-dono should be angry. But please understand that there isn"t only who took Taichi-dono as a threat in Karendale"s side. There are ones who want to protect Taichi-dono to, so we——“(Walls)
“Send a.s.sa.s.sin first, and if they fail, let you persuade. That is your plan right?”(Taichi)
I return back his word, with a cold voice that I"m even surprised myself.
Of course, how can I trust them?
“No! That is not true! We……!”(Walls)
“I"ll tell you this. How the h.e.l.l can I trust the one who tried to stab my back with a knife? If I follow you back to Crossroad, won"t I get killed while I sleep? Hah?”(Taichi)
Captain Walls seem to be at the end of his rope with my remark.
Well, I should just kill them and burn their corpses to ashes.
Yeah, that way is easier.
So I charge magic power into battle staff——-Then Marl hugs me.
“Calm down, Taichi-san. It"s true that we can"t trust them easily, but we can"t keep going on and have Karendale kingdom as our enemy. We should try to trust for a time being, you have taken down a Troll together before, right?”(Marl)
Marl look at me with pleading eye.
Trust them? These guys?
But Marl was right, we have been comrade-in-arms before.
“…………..I get it.”(Taichi)
“Thank you, Taichi-san. And Walls-dono, we can trust you right?”(Marl)
“I swear to this sword.”(Walls)
Captain Walls is kneeling and bow.
—————————————————————————————————————————————–
We have left the ruins for 2 days.
We pa.s.sed through the forest, taken down monsters we found on our way back and then we reached Crossroad.
With this amount of peoples, there are not many monsters attacking.
And we come back on the same way we pa.s.sed, so it became a lot faster.
Even though it"s only 1st company, but the numbers are around 20 persons.
We left Flam to the 1st company.
Because when she saw me, she"ll remember that evening and got frightened.
Even if it makes my s.a.d.i.s.t side wake up, but it wastes a lot of time.
And there is no point in bringing her with us, so I left her to the knights.
Nevertheless, She still has attempted murder at her achievement and crime, let them handle this is the best way.
I thought about selling her as a slave, but it too annoying.
When we reached Crossroad, we"re eating snacks and drink some cooled juices at the Adventurer guild"s bar.
For me, is Napoleon pasta with a lot of sauce, Marl is a soft bread ham and boiled egg sandwich.
This is also a considerably expensive menu in the guild"s bar.
The cheapest one is salt boiled pasta, which is only salt and pasta.
“You guys have gone for more than a week, I thought you"re gone for good but you come back with this much materials…….”(Ulz)
He must be finished with checking the monster corpses we brought back.
Oldman Ulz which look a little thinner is now sitting beside us, and place the bag which has a heavy **kling** sound on the table.
It is this much because I tossed every monster corpse we beat on the way to ruins into the inventory.
And today"s schedule is rest. Tomorrow we"ll report at the knight"s barrack as they requested.
I don"t know what will happen, so I exchanged it to money.
And our adventurer rank has raised.
For me E to D, Marl F to E.
“And what will you do? After all of these happen?”(Ulz)
Oldman Ulz saw us left Crossroad and come back, so he asks.
He is also Karendale kingdom"s people.
I have thought about that, but it seems like Marl has thought about a plan or something already.
So, I think a little before I tell Oldman Ulz.
“I will just watch the situation, for now, for me this country should just go to h.e.l.l. But I still can"t think of something. For Marl, if she is not wearing that Protection ring she would have died, I can"t forgive them easily.”(Taichi)
“………That explains it all.”(Ulz)
“I want to leave this country.”(Taichi)
“……..At that time, do you think they would let you?”(Ulz)
I let out a fearless grin to his question.
Would they let me? Of course.
“At that time, it would be an all-out war?”(Taichi)
When he heard my answer, Oldman smile is twisted.
And Marl is looking at me silently.
—————————————————————————————————————————————–
When we receive money from the material, we head to the Buring golden bed.
In the forest, we took down Giant mantis and Night Stalker(Giant black panther), their corpse costs a fortune.
Our wallet is getting thicker and thicker.
We prepare 15 gold coins for run away, but we now got twice amount now.
Giant mantis is scythe, meat, and sh.e.l.l, for Night stalker is beautiful black leather and super expensive meat.
Other are weapons I collected from those a.s.sa.s.sins, I left it in inventory as a reserved weapon.
“Ara? You two have gone for a whole week? Wanna have some lunch?”(Pinea)
When we reach the inns, we found Pinea, who is cleaning while give us some sarcasm.
She is as small as always.
No matter how I many time I look at her, I still can"t believe that she is older than me.
So, this is what they called legal-loli.
“No, we want a room. I want a double room for one night.”(Taichi)
“Dear customer, we"re not that kind of hotel. Before that, aren"t you two renting a house?”(Pinea)
“That was a lie, there is something happen, you see.”(Taichi)
“………..Hah, then just go to my husband.”(Pinea)
Pinea seems tired with my answer and goes back to cleaning.
It can"t be helped, we need to do that to confuse them.
Even though the results were meaningless.
—————————————————————————————————————————————–
When we get inside our room, we remove our armor, and then we both lie down on the bed, spreading out our limps.
The room we got is the same room we used before we left.
Even if it just a little more than a week, but this a room we spend our life peacefully.
We were talking and teasing each other with a sweet and sour atmosphere.
Finding money, training and about Marl, we I thinking back it a pleasant time.
“Why the h.e.l.l it became like this.”(Taichi)
I raise my hand up to the ceiling.
22 peoples were killed by this hand.
And not just killed.
To interrogated them——-No just to tormented Flam mentally, I killed another 7.
I took the life of badly injured unmovable a.s.sa.s.sins one by one.
But those filthy opponents are a.s.sa.s.sins that aimed for our life too.
Because of that, I have no choice but to kill them and I have the right to do as I pleased.
So I destroyed, raped and crushed.
It was my right to do, and they deserved it.
Serve them right, from trying to take important one from me.
s.n.a.t.c.hing, killing, destroying. I"ll do as I want to.
That"s why I"m not wrong.
Not wrong, not wrong, not wrong, not wrong, I"m certainly not wrong.
No, right or wrong, it doesn"t matter.
Taken a life, this sin can"t be removed.
The sin of killing? Then this world is full of sinners.
Kill for food, kill for defense. that is all sins.
But what I killed is human, not an animal nor monster.
Is a sin from killing my own humankind.
No, human, animal or monster, that doesn"t matter.
All lives are equal, that"s why it"s not a sin.
I"m not wrong, I"m not wrong, I"m not w——
“Taichi-san”(Marl)
Marl is holding my raised hand.
Warm, I don"t why my tear is falling.
“Taichi-san kill them and destroy her to protect me. Of course, because Taichi-san is falling head over heels for me, it"s normal. Because of that, please don"t mind it, Taichi-san did that for me, so I"m the one who is at fault.”(Marl)
I look at my side.
Marl smiles gently at me.
Then she is pulling my head into her embrace, and gently caressing my head.
I"m embraced by Marl. By her scent and warmness, My tears won"t stopping pouring out.
I"m scared, scared to lose my mind.
I know that I have to do that, but I don"t want it, I shouldn"t have done it.
I cry and let everything out to Marl.
Marl comfort me in that state, like a mother comforting her kid.
—————————————————————————————————————————————–
“Yay, yay, you"re a bad woman, that word isn"t enough for you”(Taichi)
“When you open up your mouth, bad words keep pouring out, as expected of Taichi-san! You were so cute yesterday, hugging me and crying like a baby “Ah, ah, I can"t hear a thing.”” ((Marl(Taichi))
I"m closing my ear. Nope, I can"t hear a thing.
I cant" take it, this girl is too much, you sly woman!
“You"re making a man astray, you should receive a [Led man astray] alias.”(Taichi)
“Well, that is not too bad, it so weird—-“(Marl)
She is teasing while sticking out her tongue. She is really too much, this girl.
I also feel refreshing after letting it all out.
Goodbye yesterday me, Sat h.e.l.lo to today me.
“And what should we do today?”(Marl)
“I"ll go, of course. I"m being watched too.”(Taichi)
To not let us escape again, they"re keeping eye on us.
It"s not like I can"t run, but it has no merit now.
“Understood, let"s go Taichi-san.”(Marl)
“Ah, but after we wash our face and get some breakfast.”(Taichi)
“Pinesan cooking that we haven"t tasted for a long time, I"m looking forward to it!”(Marl)
Breakfast is a baked bread and vegetable soup with a lot of articles inside.
And even though its still morning, we have troll"s meat steak as our extra too.
Troll"s meat is tough and it taste is not so good, but quant.i.ty is tremendous.
