Episode 10

two days ago. It was after dinner as usual, when the hounds went about their own business. Derrigan, who happened to be on duty that day, visited the captain’s office late at night.

“What are you doing?”

It was the first time their captain had called anyone. According to Haria, she heard that the empress had banned her contact with women not too long ago.

Since then, Isaac has been alone in the captain’s office. I don’t know what I’m doing inside, though.

Isaac opened his mouth to Derrigan’s question as he entered the captain’s office.

“Are you alone today?”

“? yes. I am on duty today.”

“Good.”

Derrigan was not dull enough to not know what was going well. Especially if you think about what you specialize in.

“They say you’re the best assassin in the Hound, is that right?”

“As assassins, it’s only me and Haria, but that’s it for now.”

If he’s good at stealth missions, he has a coil, but he’s the type to blend into a specific organization or group using smoke and disguise, so it’s far from an assassination.

That’s why Derrigan or Haria, who received professional training, would take turns taking on tasks such as assassinating a factor.

“Then, which one is the better assassin, you or Haria?”

“Of course I do. We acknowledge Haria’s talent, which has been tempered through systematic training, but she still lacks an overwhelming amount of experience. By the way, do you have someone to kill or someone you want to kill?”

Derrigan didn’t think the captain called him because he lacked strength.

He didn’t know exactly what level the captain was yet, but at least he knew that if he was a target he could kill with dignity, he wouldn’t have called him.

He thought he had called him, but Derrigan’s guess was half right and half wrong.

“There have been guys following me and Haria the last few days. Judging from the fact that the person following them changes every day, it seems like there are roughly 10 people, but I don’t know where they are hiding because I’m trying to take them down at once. So, I decided to seek advice from an expert.”

Contrary to the light tone, the content itself was extremely heavy. Maybe it was because the identity of the hound could have been known.

Derrigan’s head, which suddenly turned serious, spun rapidly. Although he talked about Haria’s lack of experience with his own mouth, it was only because he was based on himself.

As an assassin, Haria was never at a low level. Even if you put aside your young age, you’ll be at the top of the continental standards.

‘If such a Haria had been followed for several days and did not even notice it… … … It’s a big deal.’

“It’s a guess, but it’s highly likely that the identities of those following the captain and Haria are ‘Shika’.”

“Sica? what is that?”

don’t you know He was a leader who knew too little compared to his skills. No, given that he knew the identity of the blue-green miracle, it might simply be that his common sense was very different from the common sense of the world.

“In our side of the world, a blood relative who makes a name for himself in assassination. They are dangerous and strong. The target will be the captain, but Haria is also dangerous. Haria is probably a runaway or abandoned entity in Shika, so she’ll probably want to get rid of it or use it.”

Haria herself never revealed her past. However, Derrigan, whom she often runs into because she is from the same organization, could catch a glimpse of Shika in her well-disguised usual gestures.

She didn’t even notice that someone as powerful as her was being followed, and if there were a lot of them, it would be Shika or a blood relative or organization comparable to her.

If you were to guess the identity of the hidden Haria, it was most likely that she was Shika.

“How do you know that? Were you Shika too?”

“no. I’m not Shika, but it was roughly the same. That’s why I’ve fought a lot of assassins in Shika, so I know their habits and characteristics.”

Like the other hounds, Derrigan, who didn’t want to talk about his past, was slurred.

If it’s an order, you’ll have no choice but to say something you want to hide, but fortunately the captain didn’t ask further.

“Ahh. are you okay. I don’t mean to forcefully pry, so there’s no need to say anything about that.”

“… … Caring, thank you.”

“It was nothing. Anyway, I’m going to spin the story around and find a place where I’m hiding without being seen by them. Is it possible?”

“yes.”

Derrigan answered confidently and reported to the captain the very next day, documenting the reasoning behind the hideout where the shikas were hiding and their identities.

It wasn’t difficult to investigate, but Derrigan couldn’t help but be nervous when he learned the identities of the tailers.

“They weren’t normal either. They are likely to be a direct unit of the Shika Elders. It was no wonder that Haria did not notice.”

The Council of Elders was the most influential place within Sika, a vertical relationship that would be terrifying even for people of the same blood.

A den of old demons who have a stronger speaking power than the current leader. That was the Council of Elders of Shika.

The fact that they moved meant that they could turn the whole of Shika into enemies. Because of this, Derrigan felt a chill in the back of his neck as he reported.

However, their captain was not a person with common sense.

“okay? Good work. Then I will go.”

“yes? Oh no. Wait a minute!”

The captain, who had figured out where the tailers were hiding, immediately tried to attack them. Not a drop of prudence was shown.

Rather, Derrigan desperately had to come up with words to convince the captain who looked at him with a face asking why he was stopping him.

“If you stimulate them the wrong way, the whole Shika will move!”

“You can kill them all.”

Derrigan eagerly explained the difference between an assassination and a head-to-head match to the captain who answered calmly, but the captain still had a sullen expression on his face.

Reluctantly, Derrigan came up with a compromise.

“If you go right now, you might miss a few people! They’re great at tailing, so they’re incredibly sensitive about anyone approaching!”

“Then what?”

“Well, I’m going to act in a day or two anyway. Either attack the captain or kidnap Haria.”

The reason Shika moved at this timing was probably because they obtained information that their captain had overturned the Diarose.

From the standpoint of Shika, who is hostile to the Empress, the current emperor of the empire, she cannot leave someone who might become her new enemy. So there was a high possibility that he would kidnap Haria, who was watching over the captain, and check the information.

“We have figured out the movements of the Shikas who have infiltrated the system, so as soon as Haria is kidnapped, kill two of them and disguise them as the two to infiltrate the hideout. That way, we can clearly confirm Shika’s purpose and at the same time strike them down.”

I had already asked Coyle to prepare for the disguise. If it was a coil, it was possible to prepare fake skin identical to that of the person just by looking at the face, so there was no time to be late.

Because of this, Derrigan thought the captain would agree, but contrary to his thoughts, he said something with a dissatisfied face.

“And what if Haria is in danger?”

“Then you have to act right away.”

While answering as if it were natural, Derrigan somehow felt better. Like what I said last time in Diarose, this newly appointed captain seems to have a personality that cares about his subordinates.

and present. As expected, Haria was kidnapped and the moment she was in danger, he jumped ahead of him and cut off the head of the enemy commander.

The battle ended abruptly. Although it is a hideout, it is only a temporary shelter. In an open space with no traps or anything, the Shikas who faced the captain were all decapitated before taking two steps.

They are never weak. As a unit under the direct control of the Shika Council of Elders, they were exceptional not only in assassination, but also in individual combat power.

If it had been Derrigan instead of the captain, he would have been hacked to pieces after making at most two companions.

The captain they saw in person was that much of a monster.

“Then I’ll ask you to take care of it. When you’re done, go to the general store for code. Just say my name.”

The captain, who said that with a fresh attitude that made it difficult to believe that he had just killed 11 humans, took Haria, who was still bewildered, and left first.

Derrigan, who had cleaned up the corpses with his familiar hands, as he had always done, took off his mask and fake skin, set it on fire, and headed to Cod’s general store.

Cod’s general store was quite famous for only handling high-end items. Thanks to the owner who is obsessive and obsessive about luxury goods, it is said that not only middle-class commoners but also aristocrats visit on purpose.

“Here Isaac entrusted you with something… .”

“Please wait a moment!”

As soon as he heard the captain’s name, the general store owner ran somewhere. Then after a while. He brought a luxurious wooden chest that was hard to see and held it out to Derrigan.

“Here are the items and notes you entrusted. As freshness is life, I kept it cold with magic tools. Please ‘be sure’ to tell Isaac that you will be ‘well’ in the future!”

Derrigan, who received a chest and a note from the owner who emphasized certain words, had to endure laughter. On the note it was written:

– It’s a cleaning fee.

In the crate were six bottles of premium milk. Contrary to his rugged appearance, Derrigan did not drink or smoke.

Strictly speaking, it’s not that he can’t, he hates it so much that he doesn’t do it, but anyway, he had the only favorite item he enjoyed, and that was milk.

‘How did you find out about that?’

Derrigan came out of the general store, holding back his constant laughter. And in order to enjoy this top-quality milk 100%, I walked the streets of Jedo, thinking about what to eat with it.

—

The feel of the bed and the soft blanket touching her buttocks made Haria feel like her sense of reality was getting weirder.

From the moment Isaac appeared, the sense of reality was so lost that it seemed like a dream.

Sika’s assassins, who couldn’t do anything on their own, were annihilated by the captain without even trying to resist, let alone counterattack.

I was surprised at the time of Diarose too, but isn’t this really on a different level?

Afterwards, Isaac lightly broke the shackles that bound her with his finger, took Haria in his arms, and left as it was.

Since a sturdy man is carrying a woman, of course he is noticed. Some whispered at the sight of the two, but those who knew Isaac’s face turned off their nerves after glancing at them.

It wasn’t that strange an attitude. Fortunately or unfortunately, at the time, Haria had no time to care about the eyes of others.

It was because his brain was already on the verge of shock at the fact that it was his captain who saved him for the first time, and even moved in his arms.

Her captain, who had brought him to the luxurious hotel, threw off his camouflage suit through the partition and was changing into the clothes brought by the staff.

Even as she wondered why she had a partition or why she had to change clothes, Haria felt as if her heart would explode at the development that would follow.

“Then sleep well. Oh, I’ll give you a day off tomorrow, so take a break.”

So Isaac, who had completed his transformation, left only the word to rest, and the moment he was about to leave, Haria moved and grabbed him before he even thought about it.

“Now, hold on!”

“? why?”

That action just wasn’t feigned. If it hadn’t been caught, Isaac would have really gone out.

Her captain looked at Haria, who held his sleeve with a questioning face. When their eyes met, Haria, who was more at a loss for what to do, stopped talking without going through her brain.

“Why not with me!”

“huh?”

Haria, who saw Isaac’s expression, which suddenly became like what he was saying, belatedly realized the meaning of what he said, and his face blushed so much that it was about to explode.

Unfortunately, my heart felt like it had already burst. No, in fact, when he was kidnapped earlier, he would have burst out the moment he saw the face of Isaac, who had come to rescue him.

Otherwise, the current state is not explained.

Isaac, who was staring at Haria like that, said as if he realized something.

“ah. Did you fall in love with me for saving me?”

“You usually put that into words?! And who fell in love… !”

“no?”

“that… … .”

At this point, Haria began to feel like her head was spinning. It was true that he was interested in seeing the unimaginable strength that he showed in Dia Rose after only seeing his garbage-like appearance.

It was also true that I came to see him again a little bit after seeing him take care of things from the back without knowing or knowing that he was unexpectedly very caring for his subordinates.

And when he came to the rescue and annihilated Shika’s assassins and picked himself up… …

“No, no… .”

Eventually I had to admit it. I really wanted to be in trouble, but Haria fell in love with that person anyway.

Isaac scratched his head as if in trouble when Haria, who acknowledged his feelings, lowered his head as if to hide his face that was no longer blushing.

“I like it, but unfortunately, my wife told me not to hug girls for a while. That’s why it’s impossible.”

At that moment, Haria’s head, which had been lowered, was lifted so quickly that even Isaac was startled.

“You mean to keep away from unidentified women, right? Because of the possibility that Duke Jericho might contact you?”

“yes.”

“I am the Hound. I cannot betray you.”

“know.”

“Besides, I swore allegiance to the Empress. It was originally collected by the Empress, so in other words, her identity is certain.”

“… … Is that so?”

So, claiming that there was nothing wrong, Haria quietly unbuttoned her clothes.

There was also the meaning of instinctive temptation, but more than anything, it was because I couldn’t bear it any longer due to the heat generated in my head, chest, and lower abdomen.

“I’ll ask again…. … Aren’t you?”

Even if his will were made of steel, Isaac could not resist the question with the heat that would have melted him in an instant.

Although, of course, I had no intention of resisting.

that day. Haria was no longer a virgin.
