136-Episode 10: Assassin Knows Worst Target




 Returning to the dormitory where only the S-classes met, he moved to the top floor where the upperclassmen's rooms were located.
 He instructed Dia and Tart to go back to their rooms.
(This case is too kinky.)
 If it's a request that I decide I shouldn't take, it's a consideration so that the girls don't know what the request is.
 It's the kind of request that Romalung would tell them directly. If they refused, they could be erased just because they knew about it.

I'm going to step into Nevaan's room.
 The room itself is the same as the one I use.
 But the decor shows taste and taste.

It's a very Nevan-like room indeed.
Is that a compliment?
Yeah, she's got a certain elegance about her, like a noblewoman.

Nevan's room is beautifully furnished, the colors are bright and flamboyant, and yet there is nothing vulgar about it.
 And yet there was no vulgarity.
 There was a refined beauty to it, as well as a femininity to it.
 In terms of taste alone, Dia and Maha are also excellent, but in Dia's case, she places priority on magical-related items, and Maha emphasizes functionality over femininity.
 It's not often that I enter a room with this kind of flavor.

'I'm honoured by your compliments. Fallon, tea and pastries.
Very well. Master Nevan.

A tall woman, the servant Nevan had brought with him to the school, serves us.
 The tea she brewed for me smells wonderful.

It's a nice fragrance. I've never tasted tea like this before.

Although Orna has put a lot of effort into tea, and was proud of its knowledge of tea, this is a fragrance I have never experienced before.

We get our tea from across the ocean. It's not just Orna who does business with the other side of the ocean. He who controls the sea controls his business. We've been preparing for this for a hundred years now. We have built a ship that can stand up to demons and rough seas, and we have found safe passage at great cost.

It's the Romalungs who make the best of humanity.
 It's not surprising that they have that much skill.
 And they have the great foresight that trade will be the main battleground for business in the future.

That's the Romalungs!
But there's one thing I don't understand.
What's that?
This is the ship of the Orna Trading Company. The same concept and better design was created by a mere merchant, Irg Balor, in a short period of time. Somehow we've even found some safe and profitable routes that we've found through repeated failure and pain.
Orna had such an amazing ship.

As a rogue Touahade, I have nothing to do with Orna, so I act like it.

'It's not just that. Every possible tool needed for navigation is advanced. ........To give you an example, a compass. For some reason, the one they use on Orna's ship is always level, even on top of the ship, so it doesn't shake. Another discovery of the concept of longitude and the invention of a s*xtant to measure longitude. It allows us to accurately grasp our own position on the sea. This is an invention that will change the history of seafaring.
Interesting invention.
You talk about it like it's personal.
'My fiancée is in Orna, and her boss is a stranger, right? But Nevan's story has piqued my interest. Next time, let's get Maha to introduce me to Irg Balor.
You just don't know what to say.

Nevan smiles meaningfully at me, and I smile back.

Nevan says, a new type of magic ship, a new type of compass, a dry compass. A s*xtant to measure longitude.
 They were top secret and kept the information from leaking out.
 For Orna, the advantage in trade was one of her lifeline.

Currently, even though there are many ships that carry cargo along the continent, there are few merchant associations that trade between continents like Orna does.
 It would be suicide, both in terms of the ships' performance and the crews' navigation skills.
 That's why Orna has been able to make a rough profit in this field. Chocolate, for example, is a prime example. No one but Orna has even been able to stock up on cocoa.

'One day, I'll have the proof.
'I don't know what the hell you're talking about but more importantly, you didn't invite me here to make small talk. Now get to the point.
Yes, it was. Now, again.

Nevan's face changed from one that interacted with his friend to that of the Duke and Duchess of Romalung.
 I felt the air grow heavy on my skin.

'One of the four great dukes, in the name of the Lohmarng, I command the Shadow Blade of the Kingdom of Alvan, Touahade. Mutilate the foci of the Kingdom of Arvan.
"If it truly harms the Kingdom of Alvan,

Whenever a formal request is made, Romalung uses this statement.
 My reply is also a standard statement as a touahade.
 It can be in a letter or verbally.
 Because this is how I am as a Roemarung and Touahade.
 The target of this time will now be revealed.
 And yet, the girl whom Nevan called Fallon remains reserved at the Lord's side.
 A mere servant would have no reason to listen to the stories from here.
 That seamless manner, the posture of always being alert to the surroundings. Considering that the magic power is a substandard part combined, it is probably the bloodline of the Romarnung and Nevan's pocketbook.

This time it's the Aramaic Pope.
You'll be presenting the request directly to them. If it gets out, it'll be our downfall. This is not just about Alvin. It's the whole world.
Well, you're not as surprised as I thought.
I'm surprised. But I've been considering that possibility.
The fact that you have a good ear.

Aramism is the world's largest religion, and is considered the primary religion in most of the world, including the Kingdom of Arvan.
 It is dedicated to a priestess named Aram Karla, who is responsible for giving oracles to brave men and helping them fight against the demons.
 Unlike common imitators, Aram Karla can really hear the voice of God.
 We hear from the goddess herself that she manages the world by using Aram Karla as a contact point for her voice.
 And the brave and demonic materials owned by Aramism are also authentic.
 Authentically, Aramism is saving the world. That's why people are fascinated and hang on.

"You are the only person in the world who can do this assassination. Are you going to do it?
Shall I ask you why you want to kill the Pope?

A surveillance network stretched across the country. I was aware of the suspicious activities of Aramism in the regular reports there.
 But the information I have alone cannot be the basis for killing the Pope.

''The Pope is being impersonated by a demon tribe and the life of Lord Aram Karla is in danger. Isn't this a reason for Touahade to wield his blade? ........Oh my, you are really surprised this time, aren't you?

The Pope has been turned into a demon?
 If that's true, it's not good.
 They can easily trap and kill Aram Karla and the brave men.
 What's even more troublesome is that the channel that connects the goddess Aram Karla to the world is misused.

The words of the demon race will be transmitted as the words of the goddess.
 It's easy to even wreak havoc on the world. It is also possible to eliminate me from society. All they have to do is declare me a demon.
 There's a good chance the demon tribe will choose to do the same. They've slaughtered more than one demon in their lives, and they'll want to get rid of me. If I'm demon, I'll choose that option.
 People are dependent on society for their survival. No matter how strong they are, if they turn the world against them, there's only destruction waiting for them.
 At the very least, I will not be able to live as a rogue Touahade.

I'll take care of it.

First, we have to get the truth.
 Once we do that, we'll kill the Pope, who's been replaced by a demon, immediately.

"Thank you, Your Majesty.

It's the highest level of difficulty in my lifetime, including my previous life.

Just killing a person in the position of Pope is troublesome enough, but the target of a demon race is substandard.
 But I'm going to do it. Because it's necessary for me and my loved ones to be happy.
