Chapter 3.4 (1/2)

Chapter 3. Aah… I’m screwed… (4)

How many weeks had pa.s.sed since I got the mission?

Dang it… D, did I do something wrong?!

Groups of black-clothed men whose appearances screams “I’m suspicious!” “I’m a murderer!” at me tries to kill me. W, what the h.e.l.l?!

The only thing I did was to smuggle away a certain object the Organization had wanted for myself, and smuggle away a tinnnyyyy bit of money for my future. But when I came back to the rendezvous point, I found that all my comrades had been killed.

It was good that I had prepared for an attack thanks to smelling blood with this keen nose of mine. If I wasn’t prepared, I’d be dead.

I’ve been running around setting traps everywhere, but they keep catching up, which tires me out.

Shuu!

Baang!

E, especially those wizards! d.a.m.n cheaters, I can’t use magic, d.a.m.n it!

These invisible arrows and explosive magics are driving me crazy.

I’m evading them somehow, but they’d eventually surround me completely…

Who the h.e.l.l is attacking me, though? I can’t really tell who they are, since I have so many enemies. If I just count the ones in the empire… The royal family, Raina family, Astraa family, Narhar family, Andrio family, Hers family, Nermia family, Ha.r.s.en family, Macendria family… Mm, feels like I’m still missing a few.

If I sort them out according to recent events, the ones who would have a real grudge with me about now would be the royal family, the Raina family, the Narhar Family, and the Nermia family… The royal family has someone who’d sort things out for me, the Narhar family’s probably still confused about what’s going on… Mm, it has to be either the Raina family or the Nermia family. But… my villainous instinct tells me that might not be the case…

Ah, this is the problem with being a successful villain. Your wages go up, but hate against you goes up as well…

“Die!”

I killed one of the dudes running at me. I’m actually pretty strong. I can even win against a pretty strong swordsman!

Hmph! I’m still at my prime! My body is not at its twenties, but I have more experience, as well as tools.

First, I landed a counter to the idiot that just ran at me, sliced up the one who tried to come at me from behind then retreat, then dodged another invisible arrow.

“Annoying.”

I dislike magic. I don’t like it because I can’t block it. Life swords have a low range, but magic has a supremely long range, so it gets super annoying.

Swoos.h.!.+

“K, keh!”
