Part 2, Chapter 28

The silence was long.

Then the Assassin Butler suddenly bolted upright and swung his fist toward my face with an entranced expression.

Just before his weak, tickling attack could touch my cheek.

I lightly blocked his fist with my hand and asked.

“What are you doing?”

“…Are you really the True Master?”

“If you’re curious, would you like to feel it with your body?”

I clenched my fist to give him a chance to feel it.

His eyes squeezed shut. Soon he covered his face with both hands and let out a long sigh for a moment.

“Whether I should say it’s fortunate that you’re alive, or that I’m angry…”

“You hired Deshang because you believed I was alive.”

“Do you think I hired her because I believed it? I brought her just in case! The opponent is none other than a living disaster! It wouldn’t be strange if you became a walking corpse somewhere…”

Unable to control his intense emotions, the Assassin Butler stopped speaking and caught his breath.

‘He knows I encountered Rien.’

From the nuance, it seems he didn’t know I was lying in Caliphate. How?

There are many questions, but now it’s time to put out the urgent fire first.

“Calm down for now. Lu, isn’t there a way to extinguish the flames?”

“What Rien awakened is the power of death. His flames won’t go out until all the dead in the burning land awaken. Whether human or animal.”

Flames that awaken the dead.

Right… even at Trash Hill, corpses rose from where the flames blazed.

“You’re saying there’s no way to stop it?”

“The power of awakening is hard to stop with ordinary magic. It’s not impossible, but at least ten or so mages would have to cling to it, sweating profusely while dealing with it.”

In an urgent situation like now, requesting additional magical support from outside or anywhere? That’s nonsense.

‘In the end, it means the power of awakening can only be stopped by the same power of awakening.’

I’m uneasy about leaving it to Lu.

He had already slept all day yesterday, and I didn’t want to burden him further here.

Then what remains is my awakening.

Immortality.

‘Hmm.’

…A decent plan came to mind.

“Lu, I have a favor to ask.”

“No.”

It was a firm refusal as if he could see right through what I was thinking.

He stood up lightly with his hand on the ground and warned me with eyes devoid of any smile.

“No, Daisy. I can’t grant that favor. It’s been four whole years. Whether I took a brief rest in between or not, I’ve been waiting for you for four years.”

“What is this blue cat?”

“But you said so yourself, Lu. That you wanted to watch over the path I walk.”

“Hmm. Lu-nim, you say? Now even animals…”

“As long as Rien is targeting me, I’ll definitely face him again someday. I have no intention of being foolishly caught like last time. I have even less intention of relying on you like a child.”

“So it was true that the living disaster is targeting the Master.”

This tactless bastard, Assassin Butler. Stop interfering. Can’t you see I’m trying to persuade Lu right now?

After glaring at the chatty 19th-ranked hero, I continued my persuasion.

“And I’ll look for other lands that suit me for balance. Building Holy Land Daisy like Holy Land Callepa wouldn’t be bad either…”

He was gone.

I looked around in all directions and even checked the Assassin Butler’s head, but there was no sign of the blue cat.

Lu had disappeared.

“Lu?”

Was he upset?

I didn’t feel like clicking my tongue at his narrow-mindedness. It wouldn’t have been much different if the situation were reversed.

‘I feel a bit uncomfortable.’

In the past, no matter what anyone said, I went wherever my feet took me and acted as my heart desired. But now that I have Lu… I still act selfishly. That’s why he’s angry.

“What do you plan to do in that form?”

At the Assassin Butler’s nitpicking, I raised my hand to check and found I had changed back to a male appearance.

It was probably Andert’s appearance. That was exactly what I was going to ask Lu for. As expected, Lu understands my heart well.

“I have to do what I can. Ash? It’s dangerous, so you stay sitting there.”

Ash, who was comfortably perched on the Assassin Butler’s head, made a small crying sound.

[Grilled pineapple.]

The startled Assassin Butler felt around his head with a bewildered face.

“When did this get on my head…”

“It’s okay. Nothing will happen, Ash.”

“It seems something has happened to me though.”

I turned direction and headed toward the center of the incident.

When I concentrated, I could clearly hear people’s voices despite the relatively long distance.

“Let’s go with accepting the opponent’s demands for now.”

At the Blonde Woman’s proposal, spoken as if firmly resolved, the One-eyed Middle-aged Man showed fierce opposition.

“That won’t do, Baron. Please judge coldly! Do you believe those lunatics will keep their promise? Will they really give up self-destruction and withdraw just because we accept their demands?”

“This is a decision made after sufficient consideration. If they plan to self-destruct whether we accept their demands or not, it’s better that the public knows we accepted.”

The Woman declared with resolute eyes.

“Given how the situation has turned out, we have no right to refuse.”

“Hah… Fine. Yes! Fine, I say. Let’s say we accepted! But Baron, what will you do if they retract the self-destruction and demand we guarantee their survival and safe escape? Will you just let them go?”

“Then will you follow and kill them? The moment their hearts stop, a signal might go to the explosives and they might detonate?”

“…”

“Inform the Brishuir Security Forces of our plan and request closure of this area. Does anyone object?”

Of course.

“Me.”

Perhaps because I approached while completely suppressing my presence.

Those greatly startled by my voice immediately took defensive positions.

Someone half-drew their sword, someone had already drawn their sword to threaten me. Those concerned for their leader’s safety quickly closed the distance, blocked my path, and were ready to dispose of me.

However, their response went only that far.

“…A civilian? Are you a citizen of Brishuir?”

During the strange silence that followed.

The Young Man who looked youngest among those confronting grabbed my shoulder with a relieved face. When I didn’t budge even under his strength, he scolded me with a somewhat troubled expression.

“This place is dangerous, so please withdraw immediately. If you go straight along this path, you’ll be able to receive guidance.”

“…”

“I’ll personally help you evacuate…”

Then the One-Eyed man, who had been staring at me with an incredulous expression, looked at the Young Man and barked.

“That’s enough, so be quiet!”

Meanwhile, the guild master of 【Golden Lion’s Mane】 who had come to her senses took a deep breath.

“You… are…”

I gestured with my chin toward the Woman who couldn’t easily continue her words. Don’t block me, just step aside.

As the Woman stepped aside in confusion, someone who had hurriedly pulled back their upper body called out softly.

“May I ask your name?”

“Andert Pager.”

“…My goodness.”

“Andert Pager? That Andert Pager?”

“Am I dreaming?”

“Please move the people back.”

As I passed by the One-Eyed man, I casually drew the sword at his waist.

“I’ll borrow this too.”

People had already split to both sides.

It was quite nice not to hear even the usual whispers. This reaction made it worthwhile to have changed to this face.

Perhaps noticing the change, a faint tension filled the eyes of the terrorists who glared at me after my sudden appearance.

I flicked my finger toward them without hesitation.

Devil’s Sword Technique.

Whatever.
