A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

"Master... who is this..."

I didn't expect that a small C-rank adventurer like me would be targeted by a big shot in the guild. I was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

"Don't be impatient, just keep watching," said the master.

So I collected my thoughts, picked up the letter, and continued reading:

“In fact, I have some friendship with Lord Marnus, so I know a little about your situation in Theodric Academy.

I am writing to you specifically for one reason: to make friends with young and promising adventurers like you.

Secondly, we would like to invite you and your team to continue to participate in the follow-up exploration of the Florence Underground City.

Of course, this is just a request and there is no compulsion involved.

If you are interested, I have given the exploration mission to the Adventurers' Guild branch in Mel City. You can go there at any time to discuss with the branch president Locke Adrian.

As for Miss Matilda, I've already informed her, so you don't need to worry about it.

I wish you a bright future and a smooth journey.

- Nina Galannod

I looked at the date the letter was written.

It was when we just came back from the North...

But it’s been a month or two… isn’t it too late?

"Nina Galannod..." The master repeated the name in the signature.

I vaguely remember that this was the person mentioned by the author in the preface of the book "Akavia, does the legendary continent really exist?" He seemed to be the vice president of the Adventurer's Guild?

But that book was written two hundred years ago. Is Nina Galannode still the vice president now?

Of course that's not the point. The point is whether I should agree to this and whether it's too late to participate now...

"Master?"

"Go, of course I have to go." The master was still concerned about many things in the dungeon, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"But isn't it too late to go now?"

"It's not too late. It's impossible to explore such a large underground city in one or two months, not to mention..."

What's more, there are "known" dangers and unknown dangers hidden in it.

What is known, of course, is the countless primitive vampires living in the underground caves that the four of us discovered.

The unknown here refers to the story about the "Blood Moon" that only my master and I know, and its danger is still unknown.

After all, it was a huge disaster that was enough to destroy a country overnight.

"Master, let's discuss this with Sophia and the others first... What if they don't want to go?"

Although the possibility of not wanting to go is very small...

"That's fine. Anyway, there's no rush. It will take at least a year or two to finish..."

Ah? A year or so?

......

During dinner, I told Sophia and the others about the letter.

"I understand everything else, but why was the letter sent to Wu Yue and we didn't receive it?" Beora asked.

"Stupid! When I accepted the commission, I wrote Wu Yue's name..." Ke Lulu said.

"Oh......"

"So, shall we go?" I asked.

"Hey, why not go if there's money to be made? Last time I put in so much effort, but he only gave me 200 gold coins. This time I must extort a lot from him." Beora laughed.

"Damn it, if that idiot Beora goes, then Lulu will have to go with her..."

"Huh? What's the logic? I didn't force you."

"Now that Beola is gone, who will cook for Kalulu? Really..."

"..."

Sophia held the letter, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Where's Sophia?" I asked.

"That makes sense..." Sophia muttered as she stared at the letter.

"Sophia? What makes sense?"

Sophia then turned around and said to me:

"This letter makes sense. Wu Yue, something big will always happen to you."

"...What a coincidence...Ahaha..."

"No, it's not a coincidence..." Sophia looked at me with sharp eyes, as if she wanted to see through something.

"Anyway, if you have any problems in the future, be sure to take me with you."

Sophia almost had "eager to fight" written all over her face.

"Um... okay..."

Anyway, things have been settled once again...

Find a suitable time and ask Miss Matilda for another leave...

This is the first time...

......

That night.

"Ah, welcome back, Miss Wu Yue, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Mr. Maxim seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

I looked around and time seemed to stand still...

"What's going on?" I asked Mr. Maxim.

"It's like this. After you left yesterday, I found that this dream still existed, and the flow of time in the dream suddenly accelerated. I was afraid that you would miss the important conversation, so I used a little... trick?"

"Time magic?"

"It's similar, but I can only do it in my dreams."

Mr. Maxim explained.

"Now that you're here, shall we continue?"

"Ah."

As soon as he finished speaking, time around him started flowing again.

In the dream, "I" had just fallen asleep in Carrie's arms and had just opened my eyes...

"Weren't we in the sea before? Where are we now?" I asked, looking at the river where the fleet was.

"While you were asleep, the fleet has passed the bay and is now sailing on the Darlington River."

"Darlington River?"

The name sounds familiar.

"Exactly. It seems that this mysterious gentleman intends to go upstream and take you to Campino City."

More...

It was once one of the three great capitals of human empires.

The Shire Empire - Branmore City.

The Faga Empire - Reker City.

Norton Empire - Campino City.

However, like the other two empires, the Norton Empire had long since split into the southern countries on the continent today.

However, Batoria is not among them. After all, Batoria has a history of a thousand years, while the Norton Empire was split nearly five hundred years ago.

The kingdom that inherited the capital city of Campino is now the Kingdom of Talal.

The traveling caravans of Campino City are world-famous. These merchants are not afraid of any dangers of the journey and can travel to every corner of the continent on foot for wealth.

Besides... Campino merchants are also famous for being willing to do anything...

There's nothing you can't think of, but nothing you can't buy.

The slave trade was naturally one of them.

It seems that my luck is not much better. Although I have avoided the fate of being sold to Batoria, I have to be sold to another place with the same fate...

Ugh......

Luckily it was just a dream...

......

"You're awake..." Carrives said to me with her head down.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something..." As she said that, Carrie took out a piece of moldy bread from her arms.

Even I, who am dreaming, can feel the feeling of hunger, let alone myself in the dream?

"I" grabbed the bread and started to gobble it up.

As expected, I choked...

I want to drink water, but there is none. But we are on a boat now, and I can't choke to death on a piece of bread...

Carrives quickly leaned forward, scooped up a handful of water, and handed it to "me".

"Hurry, hurry, drink some water..."

After swallowing it down with great difficulty, I patted my chest as if I had survived a disaster, and slowly uttered a word:

"Thanks......"

"Ah? So you can talk... I thought..."

When Carrie saw that "I" finally uttered a word, she was a little surprised, but also a little happy.

But after hearing her say that, I became even more reluctant to speak.

"Um... do you remember? My name is Carriv, and what about you? You have to have a nickname... otherwise it will be too much trouble."

"...No...No Moon..."

A timid voice came out of his mouth...

"Wu Yue? What a strange name... But... "

"Nice to meet you though, Wu Yue!"

"Although I don't know what will happen in the future...at least for now, I will protect you."

"Um......"
