Chapter 64 - #63 Oarburghs hideout (2/2)
'I definitely didn't think that Taeko would dare to ask him to come with us. I highly doubt that what he said is his real reason why he is coming with us...Hehe, I can't wait to spy on them.' Chelsea thought with a naughty smile while enjoying her lollipop.

”You don't mind me knowing the location of your hideout, right?” I asked with a small smile.
”...*sigh* This will be definitely troublesome” Babara released a tired sigh and muttered something while massaging the bridge of her nose.
”Hm?” I tilted my head to the side with a smile and closed eyes, acting as if I didn't hear her. I wonder if Mera will attack me on the first sight or if she will actually hold a normal conversation with me like a normal person.

Unknown mountains...
*BANG* The debris flew everywhere.
”Haha, this is already the fifth one!” I laughed when my ax kick made head one of the Danger Beasts that attacked us into a meat paste.
”You have to meet Gilberda, you two will definitely hit it off right away” Chelsea said with a forced smile while her right eye was twitching when she noticed the damage all around the mountains, crater after crater.
”Hm? Is she strong?” I turned at Chelsea and asked with a bright smile.
”Yes, she was born with superhuman strength and then she was trained by Oarburgh. So I would say that she is quite strong, even bullets can't penetrate her skin, even really sharp swords can only cause her scratches.” Taeko jumped next to me and explained with a smile.

”Oh? Sounds interesting, do you have any other ”interesting” members?” I asked Taeko with a curious smile.
”You better be careful around Gilberda, she was greatly affected by our leader. She is almost the same as her with the expectation of not hating men. As for other members, there is also a girl named Cassandra, she was naturally born with four arms.” Babara answered in Taeko's stead and if my eyes didn't fail me, I could swear to see Taeko pout a bit.
Another pervert who can't hold back her urges? To be honest, I am slightly afraid to take a step into their hideout...
And girl naturally born with 4 arms? Hmm...interesting, she must be quite strong since she was trained by them and with 4 arms she can do twice more things than a usual person in the fight.
Oarburgh is really interesting bunch except for a few people...But I wouldn't mind having them as my personal ȧssassin unit.
”Granny, say, how much would it cost to hire Oarburgh for eternity?” I asked with an amused smile.
”?!” Both Taeko and Chelsea were surprised by my question.
”...That's something even I can't estimate. But you can be sure that it would be a hefty sum, not even the Empire would find that price acceptable, not to mention we have bad relationship with the entire Empire since we are ȧssassins who have no qualms to ȧssassinate emperors” Babara replied with a serious expression.
”Tch, I thought that you would feel at least a bit of shame due to this failure and would say the small sum of money” I muttered with a disappointed expression.
”Heh, you are really cruel, lad.”Babara chuckled when she heard my words.
...
It took us more than 4 days to reach their hideout since I insisted on resting each night due to Babara's condition. Although she wanted to refuse, I insisted, mainly to make it look like I really am here to check on her health.
We traveled more than a day through the mountains before we found a small building with the stairs that led underground.
Immediately the moment we entered, I noticed numerous beautiful women dressed in a maid outfit.
What a harem underground...
”Who is he?”
”A man inside Oarburgh?! I thought that only Daniel is allowed here.” The maids immediately started to gossip when they saw me walking alongside Babara and Taeko with carefree expression.
”You know, it is much grander than I thought it would be.” I said with a playful smile and closed eyes while having my hands behind my head.
”How do you think we spend our money? We are also normal humans.” Babara explained.
”I wouldn't say normal but humans you are~” I said with an amused smile while taking a peek at Babara's expression with my left eye.
We continued walking through enormous rooms underground filled with numerous maids that always started gossiping when they saw me.
When we finally arrived in front of big double doors, Babara opened them and when we came in, I was finally able to see Mera sitting on the leather couch while hugging 2 maids from each side but I remember one of them while the other one has 4 arms which must mean that they are Cassandra and Gilberda.
”Oh? Babara, you are back, how was the mis-?!” Mera stopped talking with a shocked expression when she noticed me, a man standing next to Babara.
Both her maids also noticed this and looked towards us just to be shocked to see me.
”Yo~! Long time no see Me-ra-sa-ma~” I said with an amused tone and closed eyes while raising my hand as a greeting.
”?....?! A-Akashi?!” At first, she looked a bit confused but after looking more closely and thinking about how many men she met who would dare to speak to her like that, she finally found the answer. She stopped hugging her maids and stood up with a shocked expression.
Her maids were now more shocked by Mera's behavior than by my presence, they also stood up and went to Mera's side.
