I took out all the small empty bottles from the liquor vault.
I filled the small empty bottles almost half full of holy water.
OK. Ive finished distributing. Now then, from now on.
Now I took one of the liquors that you often see in the shops. I put a little bit of the liquor into the empty bottle with the holy water.
The constellation was not happy with my behavior, and beca furious.
[What are you doing now !!!! Why are you putting alcohol in there !!!!]
She who usually sends ssages, ekly gets angry for the first ti.
I wont be like stuck by divine punishnt or sothing, will I?
I got goosebumps in my arms thinking about it.
Well, actually, if you think about it, its no wonder for her to do that. Holy water is useless, but its representative of religious people who believe in constellations in its own way, so my mixing it with alcohol is as good as insulting religious people.
Simply put, it is no different from bad-mouthing Buddha Shakyamuni as a monk.
I ignored the constellations, who continued to send ssages and dispensed all the liquor into empty bottles.
Phew its over. Anyway. Why are you being so petty? This holy water, you get it for free when you go to church anyway.
[The goddess of destiny is frustrated by your actions].
No, why are you even frustrated by this?
I knew that any further dialog with the constellations would not help understand her. So I ignored the ssage again, and put all the empty bottles into the subspace ring.
Now lets put the second plan into practice.
With that, I left the mansion with light steps in a good mood.
***
After leaving the mansion, I went to the back streets for a while. I took the masks out of the subspace rings.
I must hurry.
Until I reached the backstreets, I could feel people avoiding , looking at . I think I should hide my identity now.
I put the mask on my face and a robe on. I walked to the slum in Davids territory .
After a ten-minute walk, I arrived at my destination, a poor neighborhood. Unlike the mansions I lived luxuriously in, there were only buildings there that were on the verge of crumbling.
Not only that, but it deserved the na of a slum, with dirty-looking people sitting on the floor comfortably.
Its like looking at beggars in a subway station.
Most of the people sitting on the floor are wearing shabby clothes and have not washed for days, probably because they begged.
I could even see so of them fighting each other over money.
I walked cautiously into the slums and looked around, thinking I might be attacked.
I am pretty sure it should be here any mont now.
As I wandered around, a single small brown puppy approached , tail wagging. It scratches my leg with its paw.
Ok. Ive found it!
I squatted down and stroked the puppys head.
Are you hungry?
Woof!!!
The puppy nodded with shiny eyes.
Then, will you follow for a minute? Ill share my food with you.
[The goddess who sees destiny warns you not to be fooled].
I know.
I looked at the puppy with good-natured eyes. That guy doesnt know that and only scrubs its paws as if it wants to give it food.
People who were watching nearby looked at with pity.
Oh, no
Another person gets screwed again?
-I guess so.
[The goddess of destiny says you have to watch out]
I ignored her and walked into a deserted corner with the puppy.
It should be all right around here.
I turned my attention to the puppy that was following .
How about you stop acting now?
-Woof?.
The puppy halted at my question. It lowers its head with a dreary look on its face, as if it still doesnt want to stop acting.
Thats really one of the best acting skills Ive ever seen.
Perhaps if it were on Earth, this chap surely would have succeeded as a child actor.
I need such talent close to .
There is only one Riche who can help now. Of course, it is an undeniable fact that she is an assassin with a considerable amount of ability. But frankly speaking, she alone is not enough to protect .
I need a companion with a certain amount of potential and talent, one who can also be used for infiltration.
All right. Its ti to scout for talent.
I take off my mask to prevent that dog from fooling around any more.
The puppys eyes widened, after all. Kanes face is famous even in slums.
Ive revealed myself too. Wouldnt it be polite if you too had to reveal yourself? Or shall I tell you?
The puppy in front of squints at my words.
After a few seconds in that state, it eventually decides to stop acting and untransforms.
-Pong!
A white smoke appeared around the puppy.
Soon the smoke disappeared, and from it appeared a female child with long brown hair, small in stature and plump in the cheeks.
She was a child who looked about primary school age . You could tell that she was still very young, and it was obvious that if she grew up big enough, she would be so beautiful that people passing by would subconsciously steal glances at her.
However .
. if there was anything slightly different about her from most people, it was that she had dog ears on her head and a tail on her buttocks.
I involuntarily shifted my gaze to the tail and ears, which had been wagging gently for so ti.
Id like to touch those precious little tails.
Anyone who has read a fair amount of Manga and novels must have at least once imagined touching a beastmans tail and ears.
So now my desire to touch that thing is strictly a desire.
While I am looking at the ears and tail like that. She crosses her arms and talks tough.
Never thought it would be. you ruffian
A nobleman, called the Marquess David and a ruffian, s*umbag, and many other bad words visits the slums.
You brat calling a ruffian just after eting and I f*cking swear, Ill make your life miserable if you do one more ti. And Heck! Is there a law that I am not allowed to co to the slums?
You may feel that Im pathetic being like this against the little girl, but I see myself as an equal to the kids and the woman.
And it doesnt seem strange to in the first place, because of Kanes image.
And when I ask her back if she is unhappy with , she gives him a perplexed look and shakes her head.
Oh, no, sorry. By the way, why did you co to see ? Im quite sure I didnt have a sliver of a connection with you.
Right. You should have asked that question from the start. Well, its nothing serious, but are you interested in doing business with ?
Business deal?
She nodded her head at Kanes question .
Yeah. It might be rude, but Ive been doing so personal searching on your past.
.
She narrowed her eyes at Kanes words. He continued in an Im sorry tone.
Well, Im sorry. But I dont think its necessarily all bad if you listen to . How about it? Do you want to hear it?
Ill listen.
Yeah, sure. Its not a big deal, and if you co under my command, Ill make you strong and help you get revenge. Honestly, I think its better than begging for nothing here and planning the future? How about it?
She narrowed her eyes at Kanes suggestion
Definitely not a bad deal.
But, is it really right to believe him in front of you?
Obviously, unlike what people talk about in the public, he didnt seem as bad as she thought.
My own intuition even tells that the proposal is not bad. However, she was afraid to believe him carelessly.
She closed her eyes and recalled the past.
The sight of her own kind being slaughtered in the forest by black-robed humans.
The sight of friends, adults and parents sacrificing themselves in front of her eyes to keep her alive.
And the image of herself, who abandoned her own kind in order to live, ugly, and self-rationalizing to escape.
Another year of such hell has passed. Every night, what happens then cos back to in my dreams.
In my heart, I want to tear apart all the cultists who killed my people. I dream about it every night before I go to bed.
But .
In reality, in the end, I was just prolonging my life by transforming myself into a pitiful puppy from the slums.
She slowly opened her closed eyes.
Tell more about the deal.
At her words, Kane held several fingers .
Four years. During that ti, you will be my subordinate, and you will follow my orders along with your training. Of course, you can refuse reckless orders. And by the way, the treatnt will be 100 tis better than living here.
I will treat you well.
If I accept the deal, youll help get revenge, is that right?
Yes, thats right. Depends on what you do, of course.
Kane smiled and extended his hand . She looked at the hand.
Yes, it does. Even if I have to make a deal with the devil .
I want revenge.
She took Kanes hand in hers and opened her mouth.
You may know , but my na is kersey. My master.
Kane smiled satisfied, as if he had been waiting for those words.
***
Ok. I found one that I could use.
I looked into Kerseys eyes as we held hands. Her eyes shone as if she was seeking revenge.
For a child, shes fairly clever. Shes the daughter of a clan elder, after all.
It is strange that such a child is not an important character in the ga.
In the first place, her episodes are not the main ones, but the extra episodes. Usually, characters from extra episodes dont have a big influence on the storyline.
Wouldnt she then be of little use? You might think.
It is true that characters from most of the extra episodes may not be very useful. However, not the kersey in front of .
She has exceptional talent and potential, despite the fact that shes an extra character.
Shiba. When you think about it this way, its kind of unfair. If Im going to possess soone anyway, make it soone with overwhelming talent!
Ha Its no use crying.
Anyway, a girl with such exceptional talent and potential has co under my wing.
Of course, shes useless now because she is still a child, but due to a few characteristics, her growth rate is much faster than others.
Eat well, grow up well and give so protection to for a bit until the main story episode is over.
I feel kind of pathetic being protected by a child, but I dont like the pain either, so I cant help it.
And its not like Ive committed fraud.
Her family was killed by the cult. In effect, if she stays under , her revenge against those bastards from the church could happen as they might co at again after killing Brig.
This is totally killing two birds with one stone.
Revenge is taken for kersey and a talented minion is born without affecting the main story in any significant way. Use the kersey to secretly help Kim Soo Yeon.
Anyway, I should just sit back and let Kersey follow his orders and help Kim Soo Yeon.
While I was rejoicing within my heart.
[The goddess of destiny suspects that you are a lolicon].
This crazy constellation. There are things you can say and cant say.
My ideal type is close to Riche. She has a good body, big br*asts, and a style like Nonnas.
I like won like that. I dont like childish styles.
Since the constellation crossed the line first, I decided to cross the line like we do in my ho country, Korea.
I raised my head up. Stretched my hand to the sky and raised my middle finger precisely.
