Chapter 2 Episode 26

(assassin 3)

Day 172 after being summoned to another world

The glea the entire area

”First, let's have you take off the mask ”

The cornered shadoly reht

Hariri

Gradually, a woman’s face was revealed The black-haired wo the mercenary, is known as Sakuya

”Now that’s out of the way, shall we have a little chat? ”

”A chat? Don’t you ation?”

Considering the current situation, Sakuya presu his words

The conversation was held in a large tent, where the assassination was attempted Aside Ryouma and Sakuya, Lione, Bolts and the two Marfisto sisters are present The rest of the uard the outside

Indeed, it was a strange atmosphere for what Ryouma called a chat

”That depends on hoe interpret it, no? At least, I' to call this a chat ”

To so his words

(With how this is going, there ht be a chance that they decide to not torture ardless of whether they interrogate me or not, but it does not look like they intend to kill me just yet )

Sakuya could feel that Ryou her at the moment

However, she has not completely rejected the other possibility either

But at the very least, she could cal that there was no need to look out for sudden attacks

”So? What is that that you want to talk about, with someone who had just attempted to assassinate you?”

”You do not have to be that tense, you know?”

Ryouht smile

With the current at so heavy, Ryouma told Sakuya to loosen up, in effort to ease the tension in between them While Sakuya did somewhat become more relaxed, the atmosphere still remained rather heavy

Although her face showed that she has become more relaxed, there is little chance that she would start to open up to him

(Now then How should I proceed from here?)

Fro useful infor Sakuya

That is because there was no way for him to verify whether her answers are truths or lies

There was si deceived later on

However, if he let her go just like that, then he would have gained nothing from Sakuya

”There's nothing that I want to hear particularly Besides, you wouldn’t talk even if I ask anyway, and I have nothe authenticity of your words either ”

Sakuya's was amazed at Ryouma's words

If she were to take Ryouma's words literally, that means there's no reason for him to spare her life

(This ?)

Sakuya couldn’t help but feel anxious Questions began to pop up one after another inside her head

Anyone would feel uneasy when they couldn’t grasp the train of thoughts of their enemy

”Then why are you keeping me alive?”

Sakuya was determined to find out what Ryouma is after

Suddenly, a flash of thought crossed her mind Since she is a woman, there is another possibility of why Ryouma had spared her

(Don't tell me, is he after my body?!)

It was natural for her to think that way

After all, she is quite a beauty

Long and glossy black hair

A healthy light-brown toned skin

Despite going through a harsh assassin’s training regime, her chest has developed to quite a substantial size

Simply put, she boasts such an attractive body, most men would fall head over heels for her

Although she has been doing all sorts of infiltration and assassination work, at the end of the day, she is still a woman

She still holds the fear of being forcefully violated by men

As a woman, for Sakuya, death after failure is ainst her will

But as a hu hurt is just as scary

Even more so when you do not know the man in front of you

(But wait, that can't be If that really was his intention, then he wouldn’t have brought the other women here )

Her assumption was quickly rubbished as she looked at Lione and the sisters

However, with this, she has gone back to square one She has learnt nothing of the oals nor his intentions

”Well, let’s just say it’s a personal reason ”

Ryouma replied as he observes her behavior

”Personal reason?”

Sakuya made a complicated face

”This ”

Ryouma pushed out the sword Sakuya previously had in front of her

”What about it?”

Sakuya was unable to understand what Ryouma was concerned about

The sword length is two shaku three sun

This is equivalent to approxith

Certainly, this is not a sword commonly used in the western continent

However, the sword itself was not the reason why Ryouma had spared Sakuya’s life

”Why did you use this?”

Sakuya became confused at Ryouma's question

For an assassin, a sword is just a weapon

A tool for killing people

Nothing more than that

Seeing Sakuya’s puzzled face, Ryoued his question

”You, are you japanese?”

However, the anticipated change in Sakuya’s expression that Ryouma expected did not happen

Her response was like it was the first time she heard the word japanese

”What do you mean?”

Sakuya’s answer proved that Ryou

(What's going on? An assassin with this type of sword, has black eyes and black hair; and although her skin is tanned, without a doubt she's ethnically Asian, yet when I asked if she's a japanese, she didn't show any reaction Is this coincidental? No, that’s impossible)

Questions kept popping up one after the other

Ryouma has not looked closely at Sakuya's face up close until now since he left all the supervising duty to Sara

Two days ago, he only able to see that she's a woman with black hair from a distance

It was from Sara’s report the other day that he found out her name is Sakuya

Ryouma did not realize it yet back then, but he heard such a nostalgic name

Sakuya

In Kanji, that would be Sakuya (咲夜) or Sakuya (咲耶)

Without a context, if these Kanjis were read on their own, most people would think that it is a japanese name

It is definitely not a common western name

(She ht be a japanese just like me!)

It was logical for Ryouma to think that way

It has been six months since he was summoned to this world

It would be nice to be reunited with someone from the same country

However, the fact that Ryous towards the ed

His only memory of Saitou hen he was taken under custody, which he was not fond of

Not toto take his life, it was natural that his iood

In a similar context, an assassin who aimed Ryouma's life is similar in nature, but since her reason to kill and the question about her acco, Ryouma couldn’t just simply kill her just because she was a threat

There's also the possibility that she was another summoned person who is forced into an assassination job

Besides, Sakuya is a woman A beauty too at that

It was natural for Ryouma to want to offer help to a fellow so forced summon as him

Mikoshi+ba Ryouht be a cold-hearted person, but he's still a human at heart He can be kind and compassionate at times

Itis

Just like amember of his family at home
