Recap from the last chapter: Sue slipped into the palace and et money out of it while she took the prince’s ‘innocence’ away in front of the queen, before returning to the assassin Guild and discovering some information about the client behind the prince’s assassination
Chapter 88 – Coincidence
The two of them hurriedly ht into a small room: “We should wait here for now The client is still in the next room with the leaders”
“We’re next to the guild leader’s office?!” Sue chomped down on the bread, spun around the roo at the wall in front of her
“… It’s the next rooht side”
“…” Sue’s hand lowered as she chewed the bread furiously with black lines on her forehead Could one blamed her?! There were talls, and every room looked like the sa’s blueprints when she came in yesterday…
After eating two additional rolls of bread, and drinking condensed soup with y and grabbed a document on the table She rolled it into a trumpet-like shape and stuck it onto the wall to eavesdrop
“What are you trying to do?!” Lawrence looked at her, almost at a loss for words
“I’ to listen to the contents of their talk…… D it! Why is the quality of the rooood?!”
“… The wall is actually made up of normal materials, but every room on the third floor is adorned with a barrier that could isolate sound and defend a certain level of sudden assault”
At the very least they were still the assassin Guild The place was not some random shady inn located in the black uild o
The guild’s third floor was reserved for high ranking arded safety as their primary concern Even if there was no safety measure in the lower echelons, these members were paranoid about their lives and had many layers of defense
Sue also recognized that her thoughts were not practical Not everyone in this parallel world was an idiot If she wanted to knoas going on, she had to craft a high-level listening tool by working on it furiously right now, or wait for everyone to finish their talk and allow the old man to brief them…
She cli of snacks: “Is this the same client from the previous time?!”
“It would appear so, judging frohtfully after a moment “But my father mentioned that requests like these are usually not made from the mastermind themselves, but from a subordinate Most of the tiood, and they won’t allow people to h these subordinates None of these people with a noble status would allow theerous place……”
Sue giggled: “Calling your assassin Guild a dangerous place; this joke is too much for me”
“You…… ” Lawrence felt hi to have a serious conversation, but the person in question had the aht?
“Anyways, according tothisdirection”
“We can discuss that issue later Thethis clue What other options do you have if you don’t follow this client?!” Sue was fine with it “At the very s But what exactly is your next move?!”
“We will send an expert in Stealth to follow hi” Lawrence hesitated for a while before he continued speaking carefully: “Right now our assassin who’s thea mission……”
“What’s with the pauses Is there so with that assassin?!”
“…… Honestly, it’s not that there’s soht not be at his best when he takes on your request……” Hoas he supposed to tell her that particular assassin was the one who fainted twice froer’s palm smack after she sent it after him…
Indeed, this matter should not be revealed to her This will affect her trust in the guild Although, ever since she knew the four young assassins in the forest, she did not seeuild’s quality
“Hht for a while and nodded with comprehension: “I heard that pros have one or teird habits I can understand that”
“……”
[You misunderstand……]
After another ten er knocked on the door and alerted Lawrence, who in turn inforress She also understood that he told her the inforlimpse at that man when he came out
She wore accessories, changed her face randomly with her artifact and tidied up her dress She trotted to the door with her lambskin boots and opened it, then ran noisily out like a staroup of men outside, and ended with a pounce
“Daddy!” She yelled
“””PFFFFF””” The leader and the various men spat out blood at the saly shapes
The client as draped in entire black because of his long cloak, received a body blow from the child He subconsciously took a step back and wanted to draw out his weapon, but quickly realized that it was a child Because of the additional fact that he was still in the assassin Guild, he barelyactions……
“You recognized the wrong person” He coldly put the little girl doho pounced on hiravel
[Your bloody ! I sacrificedof le crazy inside her mind She threw the candy inside her bracelet and pounced onto hiain
“Daddy, why are you covered in such clothing?! Did you get sirls?!”
[F! This time it’s heart-shaped biscuits!] She screamed in her mind
The hter When they sarence nearby, they iirl was The cloaked man obviously did not want to waste any more time with the child He pushed her away and nodded casually to the guild leader: “Then I’ off first, once the matter is settled, I’ll be back to pay the remainder of the money”
He paused for aanother sentence: “And please discipline your child”
The cloaked man believed that she was not an ordinary child if she was able to access the third floor, and must be close to one particular person…
The guild leader was unable to laugh any longer, and the wrinkles on his face scrunched up together, but he quickly appeared relieved when he thought of soer s, this is the vice guild leader’s child…”
[You beast!] This tih
The cloakedman quickly appeared from one of the rooms and nodded to the the client
The young n of a disguise, so that was probably not his real appearance From his appearance, he did not look like a cool pro who could handle himself, and even appeared to be quite frivolous She could not tell if he was actually capable……
When the young man went past her, he hesitated for a hter?!”
[Gosh, he’s even a gossiper……] Sue added the information to her mind before she rolled her eyes
“You actually believeto take care of me when I’m old?!”
She was upset over having to act uts to offend her… If it was not for the fact that she was not tall enough, ould she spend so much effort and act shamelessly to pounce into someone’s arms?!
“””Cough, cough, cough!””” The people in the corridor coughed drily
“You little t…” A fire burned in the young man’s eyes He wanted to raise his fists and threatened her, but after thinking about the fact that she her-up’s support and he still had a er and ran down the stairs… F! He probably had no luck with little girls lately
“Tsk!” Sue pulled down her accessories and changed back to her real face She revealed the candy and biscuits “That client is pretty cautious Even against a child like uard But I think he has children, if there is truly no choice, we can try to create an opening from that…”
“You stole from him?!” Lawrence was shocked, before he realized that she was someone who could even steal the palace’s royal authority passes
The other leaders had so of an idea in their hearts when they saw her They thought about the fact that she ed to impersonate the little prince in the forest, but they merely did not kno she did it…
“Yes, but it’s a pity that I only hed and waved her hand diset it The fact that he’s so careful,that would reveal his identity I’ yourselves…… ”
The little girl disappeared before their eyes without a sound Everyone looked at each other with bulging eyes After a long while someone finally broke the silence:
“She’s a thief?!”
“Yes Seems like she’s a professional”
“And she can disguise herself?!”
“Yes Seems like she’s a professional”
“Can she kill?!”
“I don’t know about that; perhaps we can try to find out another day?!”
“… Should we try to raise her?!” She was someone talented to be an assassin…
“… Let’s continue to observe” Yet she did not appear like a subordinate ould listen to them……
Even though they got a clue, this route did not appear to be an easy one He was quite cautious and the only optiondays will be filled with boredom…
He had to follow him everywhere; watch hi, and if the client goes to bed with a girl, he had to touch himself by his lonesome s—
[Cough cough cough! This line of thought isn’t a good one]
Sue also encountered a little trouble She i up her shop A child had no qualification to buy properties, and the ht she was a troublemaker and dismissed her with terrible candy and a copper coin, with the intention of chasing her out and even threatened to complain to her parents……
[! I traveled across dieberserk, but also realized that her plans were not realistic
[If I want to open a shop, I have to get an adult to be involved ]
She could try adjusting her age, but she did not have identification papers to back her up
[Get someone else to front it?]
That idea was quite creative, but having her accounts on soet ideas about sing up her properties
The reality was a cold one
Sue was once again lost after losing her goal in life Should she really go back to school and get soood to present theo to school with a bunch of brats, and discussing the latest dress or candy shop after school hours was too painful It was a generation gap
But, however, not going to schoolto be even more bored There was no need to worry about the material lifestyle, but the ot clinical depression that would be too much of a joke
[But, however, yet……]
The little girl knocked into souish
“You again!” The young lared at Sue
“Me again?!” Sue was gloo, so why did he looked like he recognized her?! Trying to flirt with someone with the pickup line of ‘Do I know you so Second, did he not have a mission?!
The young man looked at Sue as confused He recalled that he had covered his face with a scarf yesterday, but re her of this sharit his teeth in anger
“Hnored her based on the fact that she was probably souild
[What, do you have a toothache? You’re gnashi+ng your teeth so hard!] She was looking down on him
“Bro, if you want to get the attention of a girl, you should know that thisnew the next time”
“Girls…” The youngThe expression in his eyes was complicated “You’re not considered one with that little flat chest of yours”
“Then based on your words, how big must they be to be considered one?!”
“At the very least…… S! You’re really shato me, I don’t knoho you are!”
“I don’t know you in the first place…” Sue could also care less about talking to him
[Hmm? I actually came back to the sweets shop I went to yesterday The pie wasn’t half bad; I’ll buy it again]
“Hey!” The youngto say so
[I ain’t hearing anything, whatever]
When she opened the door, the loud noise level ca at her in waves The room was filled with people, and that fact shocked her Before she realized as going on, she was forced out of the shop the next second
[What the heck?! Is the shop clearing their stocks with a discount?!]
The young hter
“Today’s the Acadeht’s break day There are many students out here by thes This shop is especially popular…… Haven’t you realized the number of kids in the streets today?!”
Alfred’s Sweets was a fae variety of desserts ranging froood they tasted The students alking about will never forget to co the sweets on this day was no less harsh than a bloody battlefield
[I see I stole the desserts away from the cloaked man who prepared them for his children, and that idiot must have followed him here] Sue was momentarily speechless
