Vol 3 Chapter 3 (2/2)

Cleo then picked up the pillow, sat on it and started staring at the wall

“You idiot……of all the people to engage with!”

Outside thecame a cry

“All right, we’re all done!”

It was the voice of Vulcan Cleo’s eyebrows move a little, she cal her hands on the sill, she could see Vulcan standing under theFrom Cleo’s position you could only see his head, froood mood Behind Vulcan was Dortin, he didn’t look like he was having fun

Cleo didn’t know much about Vulcan and Dortin, all she kneas that they owed Orphen money

Five children stood in front of Vulcan, they looked around ten years old

“Okay! It’s tiuild! Fear will keep you together!”

Without looking behind him, Vulcan took Dortin’s sword and pointed it into the air“Ti somehow!”

Cleo put her hand over herThe little children winked to each other, as Vulcan was giving his speech

“Those who suffocate easily froroup! Everyone et sick, and——”

Cleo closed the“Those guys sure do like to have a good time”

(But then again, I can kind of relate……)

She wondered when she began to change——even since she left ho away at her, she couldn’t help but just worry about it(When did it all start to go wrong……)

She thought, as she looked at the celling

(I know Orphen is technically , after all, I am a minor I just feel like he won’t let me bear some of the responsibilities…)

She then spoke:

“As long as Orphen agrees, I could be a co him out with his work”

Tap, tap, someone knocked on the door

“Cleo, it’s me……can I come in?”

“Yeah”

When the door opened, it was Majic who entered Cleo was slightly disappointed

(I thought it would be him……)

Cleo’s heartbeat intensified, a jealous flame arose in her eyes

(That idiot, how dare he look down upon ic”

The blonde girl gave Majic a sharp look, he was frozen with fear“……This is troublesome”

A few kiloe in the forest, a man whispered He looked around 30, he had unkeues——hidden behind his clothing was a chain that was specifically used to deal with sorcerers, around his waist was a knife He pulled out the knife and examined it, it reminded himself of how many times he’d been scarred by knives

However, this wasn’t the one man in the area, several es and unifor of assassins One of them replied:

“……What’s the matter, Mr Kozen?”

“The other party failed to assassinate the target We ot to wait for the proper tiot to find his whereabouts, it shouldn’t be hard”“Indeed……though he is fro, so——”

Another assassin timidly said

“Are you saying the other’s asked for it?”

“Well, it seems apparent”

“I admit that sorcerer is a crafty man”

Kozen put his hand on his chin, and pulled a hair off

“Listen, he , but that doesn’t mean you should believe every rumour you hear about him I don’t believe he’s as powerful as they say After all, he’s got such a silly name——Orphen, what a terrible pun”

“Even so, to deal with an enemy like him……”

“Enough Noto have perfected his coe and experience will be his downfall”

One of the ht ares He was knocked out of the tree by Orphen, he saw hiree with the others

“You didn’t see hiht, he——”

The long haireda spasm

“————?”

All the people around hi haired man’s eyes widen, he acted like a ventriloquist’s doll

“Ah——ah——”

His hands went to his throat, as he said:

“I——find——the——”

It was an unusual situation, but the assassin’s reaction was very fast Kozen stuck out his hand and said:

“Open!”

A sharp ind struck the ht abdoh to fill a bucket Then, the ain

Then……fro, crawled out of his corpse——it slowly started to take human form

“What the hell?”

A slender assassin cried out A knife tre in his hand, as he stared into the black void

“Finally——I’ve——found you——Fonogorosu!”

“F-Fono?”

Kozen was baffled

“Fonogorosu——the debt——must be——repaid!”

“Begone!”

Kozen desperately shouted the incantation He stretched forth his hand, and lighting flew straight towards the foggy figure, it disrupted the black mist for a moment, but after a few seconds, it reformed itself

“damn it——”

“It’s a ghost!”

An assassin shouted Then——

“Ah……?”

The slender man uttered He looked down at his chest, he could see blood all over his torso At the sa out

“It hurts!”

Men were falling to the ground, souy’s ankle disappeared, everyone was terrified

“What the hell is going on?”

Men were covered in blood, nobody kneas happening

Kozen looked around, everyone was scared

In this situation, ic was useless

“It’s not a ghost, it’s——”

Turning around to the few that were re, he shouted:

“It’s a monster!”

It was useless, they were all dead quiet, and they were standing still Then he noticed he, there was souy had half a head left

“damn it!”Kozen ran away as fast as he could Behind hi of feet
