Shhhk!
Rakshaha gave Professor a smile as beautiful as a field of blossoms as she pulled out the dagger stuck on the table. It was very weird. That bloodstained knife went so well with that woman. He couldnt turn his eyes away from the sight of her carefully stroking the blade with her hand.
Hey, Mister. A relationship is when two people get to know each others hidden parts one by one.
Ping!
When her slender finger flicked the side of the daggers blade, the blood clinging to it imdiately flew off, revealing an eerily clean silver blade.
A client is also a sort of relationship, so..Im thinking, why dont we answer each others questions one by one?
Professor put on a blank face, as if he were still affected by the drugs, and started to analyze the situation once again.
Shes skilled. That knifeits basically an extended limb. She seems to know her way with daggers. She definitely didnt get to that position with her original skills. That drug they gave . Her attire and attitude. And the slight tension she lets out when she talks. All of these are devices for clouding the other persons judgnt and gaining an advantage in a conversation. I see, so this is how the Moon Shadow takes requests.
If you look at it in a good way, theyre using devices to maximize their benefits, but if you just look at it as is, they dont deserve to be called a guild. But if you look at it in a bad way, theyre dirty bastards. The type of people who couldnt stand it if they didnt have the upper hand in any relationship. To think these guys were the number 1 thief guild in Rodrick. Their thods were cheap compared to their reputation.
Now then, whats your first question?
Shhhk!
She was behind again, her fingers softly brushing through my hair. She used the dagger to cut off so of the hair on the back of my head.
This
I saw the wanted poster, and they drew you like so beast. I thought maybe. Youd look better if your hair was tidied up.
Shhhk!
The feeling of the sharp blade touching the back of my neck left a frigid feeling. A very seductive threat.
First, as the person thats taking your request, I want to know who you are. Can you tell about yourself?
After deciding how much to tell her, Professor started speaking with a little slur.
Nas.Professr. Im twentee. After my family was destroyed, I got infected by the mutes. An was captrred by mages until I escaped. An now Im heerr.
Oh my, you went through so much for your age. War, infection. And you were an associate of a mage too. Its a miracle that youre alive.
Shhhk!
After she finished the back, it was the sides. Her delicate hands cut off lock by lock, the blade touching his temple every ti. As if she wasnt planning on taking my questions, she continued with her next question.
Then, Mister Professor. Why did you co all the way to this city and visit this place?
It was a question about the request. Was she really going to accept the request like this?
Mage.I want revenge against those mages.I need help to do that.
Professor saw it. At the word mage, he saw a little glint in the blades reflection of her eyes.
She stared intently at Professor, then gave him a bright smile as she patted his hair.
Revengethats important. Hmm okay. Lets move on to the last question then.
Shhhk!
She finished trimming his hair and was now shaving his beard. Her soft, delicate hands held his cheek as she accurately trimd down his beard. In the motion that pushed the blade against his throat, he felt bloodlust. It was such a faint bloodlust that he could not feel it until the blade touched his throat.
The last question issince when was Mister Professor pretending to be drugged?
D-Darn th!
Slice!
She did not wait for a response. The dagger slid silently over Professors neck and sliced his throat.
As she wiped off the blood on the dagger, she smiled brightly once again.
It was a short conversation, but I enjoyed it, Mister Professor.
Her smile, with a little blood splattered on her cheeks, was terrifying yet beautiful.
With that, Rakshasha left the room. No, attempted to leave the room.
Cough! Gah! Wow, not even a mont of hesitation, eh?
But the voice behind her was that of a man who should have been dead, and it stopped her in her tracks.
Cough! Didnt you say a few minutes ago? A relationship is when you get to know each other. Now its my turn to ask so questions.
Tshhhhhh.
The detached artery connected itself again. The ropes that tied his legs broke off like noodles, and all that was left was the thin string on his wrists. Surprisingly, this string did not snap with force but dug into his skin instead.
Rakshasha covered her face as she smiled.
Oh, you cheeky liar. Why didnt you tell you had such an interesting skill?
Oh, Ive heard from soone that a man and a woman should keep so secrets between them.
He had a calm tone, as if his neck hadnt just been slit. Rakshasha began to develop a bit of interest in the man sitting in front of her.
Hahahathats very interesting. Just to let you know, I recomnd you dont pull on that string. The string from an elder spider is very strong and sharp. Its, in fact, one of my favorite weapons.
Oh, Elder Spider. Thats a pricy one. No wonder it cut in so well.
Exactly. Now then, just stay put.?
Shlunk.
Whoop.
Rakshasha couldnt finish the sentence. Professors hands cleanly slipped out of the ropes. The arms, up. Hands, down.
Professor just casually put his detached hand back on his wrist as the guild mbers froze in shock. Skin and muscles peeked out of the dismbered arm and were securely attached back to the hand.
Flick, flick.
After confirming that his hand worked properly, Professor addressed the now alert guild mbers and Rakshasha.
Im going to ask you three questions as well, so listen carefully.
Crack, crack.
Professor cracked his head left and right as he slowly approached them.
First, as the client, I want to know if the guild mbers of Moon Shadow have the ability to cause a scene that will attract the attention of all soldiers in the city, from the guards to the knights.
Whooshk!
You left your back open! Foolish Ack! Gaghk!
Cgrungk!
The thief who attempted an attack was hanging by his neck in Professors hands. Not long after, he went limp like a stuffed animal.
Second, Im curious if you know that if you decline! That I, whos already very unhappy due to this poor hospitality, can beco very very mad.
Whoosh.
Craggck!
Professor threw the man in his hands towards the exit door, breaking it down. The mans legs were both at an odd angle, and he went completely limp after a small groan. One step forward. He was now at arms length from her blade.
Professor stopped right in front of Rakshasha.
Finally, I want to ask if you are aware that if I get very very mad, this shabby guild of yours can be very easily destroyed. Now then. Can you answer ? Miss Master?
Squeeze.
His body was completely open. She could hit six vital spots in an instant from this distance.
And the fact that Professor had his arms wide open, daring her to try, made Rakshasha tighten her grip on the dagger.
Mister Professor, do you..really think you can leave this place alive after what you just did?
Hehehe. Think wisely, Miss. This is the final chance Im giving you because of that nice haircut. You seem to know how to use a knife..I dont know about you, but I wonder how many of your little pesky ants can make it out alive? Can you even call a guild with just a master a guild?
Professor lowered his body and made eye contact with Rakshasha, who had a chilling smile on her face. This scene, with him baring his fangs and threatening her with the guild mbers, looked like a villain intimidating a fragile little girl, no matter how you looked at it.
Silence.
A second that felt like an eternity passed, and when soone who couldnt stand the pressure of the situation gulped
Clap!
Okay. Let us take the request then.
The sudden sound of a clap that broke the tension almost made flinch.
That must have been the case for the others, too, as he saw so of them stagger.
Whew! The bluff actually worked!
If he actually fought them head-on, it might not have ended well. Because.
Ding!
The status window was blinking red like crazy for a while, then, when I threatened her with the guild mbers lives, a ssage finally popped up, and my body froze. I did act tough, but I was just blinking and talking my way out of it. And whats Suicidal Urge Level 25? Wasnt the highest skill level for this ga 10?
Anyway, due to those circumstances, I could not fight these guys. It would have probably said, I hit a lady! Thats unbelievable! I need to pay with my life! or sothing like that.
Hmm, Mister Client? Why dont we move to a nicer location then?
I dont know. I already had a bad experience with that before. Im a little scared of where youll guide , Miss.
Ahahaha, thats understandable. But I do think its a little impolite for a man to turn down an offer from a woman to enter her humble abode. Theyll get hurt, you know?
She let out a slight giggle as she covered her mouth and slipped into a secret entrance that opened from one of the walls.
Ring ring ring ring ring!
Sensitive Observation was ringing alarm bells at him. He ignored the guys holding the knives and instead focused on the dark entrance.
This is dangerous.
When he stood in front of her, planning to actually attack, he could feel it. Even without his traits restricting him, he could not beat her head-on.
Rakshashas now completely on alert. And she invited in that state. Going into an unknown place, and that being the center of an assassins dwelling.isnt this a really dangerous bet?
While he was debating on that, he could see the chatroom from the corner of his eye, scrolling up like crazy.
-Soygaybar: Why are you hesitating?! You could be crying tears of gratitude, and it still wont be enough!
-Noru_is_druig: Go! Professor! Hurry!
-takealook: If you take even one step back from here, the Community is going to be full of posts about your tiny balls and questionable sexuality. Im serious right now.
-Holli: too! I want to see it too! Another womans room! I want to know!
-Nutriagena: Hurry! Hurry! Andale Andale!
Fine! Im going! Im going!
Okay. He was already this far. It was a gamble between 1 and 100 now. He didnt know any other guilds to go to anyway.
After organizing his thoughts, Professor started towards the gaping dark entrance that was ready to swallow him up.
Professor traced his hand on the wall as he went forward. He walked, walked, and walked.
Whys this darn tunnel so long?!
Because its a secret tunnel?
Aaagh!
The voice that suddenly appeared startled him, making him swing his hand by accident.
Tboom!
With the punch mark on the wall, Professors hand broke down. He could hear Rakshashas laughter from behind him.
Wow.so interesting.
Since when did you start following ?
HmI was next to you the second you walked into this tunnel.
So this was the skill of an assassin. I was still on alert, but I couldnt even tell she was there.
Now, co this way. The tunnel has a lot of divided paths, too, so youll get lost if you dont have good night vision.
Inside this pitch-black tunnel, I could feel Rakshasha place her hand on my arm. I couldnt help but swallow nervously when I felt that soft, satin-like touch. Her hands slowly traced down my arm and touched my fingers, which were regenerating.
This.is a really rare skill. I have so interest in the human body, so Ive done my own research.but its my first ti seeing such a weird body as yours, Mister Professor. A well-toned, tender, and rapidly healing body. How could such a thing exist?
She must have been really interested as she poked at his shoulder muscles, grabbed his wrist, and caressed his waist muscles.
[V-Vessel, I-I cant take this anymore. This.this isnt a stimulation I know of.I cant fight it]
Well, do sothing! Youre the one in my head! Try ssing with the hormones or senses or sothing!
It was my mistake coming in here. Rakshasha completely changed her attack thod based on my previous reactions. From my strong point to my weakest one!
Slip, slip.
Inside the pitch-black darkness. The sound of the thin material against her skin overwheld his imagination.
A body created by a mages experintation.seeing that your entire body has a stable magic reaction, you know how to use magic as well.
Ah, uh, yeah, I guess.
Wow, so special.
-Soygaybar: Oi Professor! Get to your senses! A conversation between a man and a woman is a battle without weapons! Youre going to be done for!
-Soygaybar: If you just stay stunned like that, youll get completely devoured(?)!
-professor: Well, I cant control my bodys reactions! And what do you an there are no weapons?! She has two very big dangerous weapons! And Im barehanded! Its unfair!
-Noru_is_druig: What do you an no weapon? You have the artillery gun that your parents gave y-!
-professor: SHUT UPPP! STOP TRIGGERING IT!!!!
-Guns_N_Blood: Hes a lost cause. From battle experience to weaponry, hes at a complete disadvantage. Surrender peacefully and beco a prisoner of the winner.
Hm.what could you be thinking so hard about?
I-I was contemplating on the sacrifices and pains of Jesus Christ.
?
Damn it! He couldnt focus! Stop leaning into ! No, keep leaning on ! No, thats not darn it!
Click.
As Professors inner selves viciously fought with each other, she suddenly stopped walking forward.
Oh, were already here. What a sha.
I-Im saved! I did it! See father! I didnt give up!
It was very dangerous. If this went on any longer, he would have fallen to his knees and begged her, Please take ! You can own !
As the door opened, a bright light filled his vision. The air didnt have the rotten sll in the outskirts of Tobrune. It was soothing and fresh. Through the air, a fragrant scent of tea flowed in.
This is.a tea house?
This is the salon I personally run. You can gain more information in a fancy salon than you think.
She gently smiled, proudly presenting her shop.
