A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

The rare murderous look on Master's face made me feel less dazed.

"No, that's not the case, Master, you misunderstood, Mr. Maxim didn't do anything..."

Afterwards, I told my master what happened in my dream.

After listening to my story, the murderous aura around Master slowly subsided.

"...Is this so..."

The master frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

"I thought... no, nothing..."

"This dream is becoming increasingly strange. Or rather, it is becoming less and less like a dream..."

"But Master, if it's not a dream, what else could it be?"

What you see after falling asleep = a dream, at least that’s what I think.

"I'm not saying it wasn't a dream, it's just that dreams shouldn't be like this, even the pain..."

There was another moment of silence.

"Ugh......"

It seems that even Master can't do anything this time...

Finally, I have to return to the content of the dream.

"You mean to say that the Azrael family is actually the backer of 'Netherfire'?" asked the master.

"Mr. Maxim said so. I also felt that one of those people looked familiar. Now that I think about it, maybe I had seen him in Moore City before."

"I was wondering why they were so cautious at the time and didn't make any big moves. Now it makes sense. It turns out that this is an organization related to the family..."

"Why is this?"

"Because they have too many things to worry about. Take the 'Shiki' for example. With Turhe as their backer, they gathered a group of desperate criminals. When the uprising failed, except for the 'Shiki's' direct line... or the top leaders, the rest fled. This 'Netherfire' is different. From the beginning, they did not show any clear hostility, and even helped them break the barrier in the mansion..."

"The intention is very clear. They want to wait and see. They can attack or defend."

"If they advance, they can take advantage of the chaos to take the king's head. If they retreat, they will help the royal family, which is equivalent to showing goodwill to the target. It can't be a free-from-death ticket, but it will also reduce our hostility towards them a little, and we may even consider them as partners."

"Of course, this is only the first step... Next, 'our performance' is the most critical... If we make any major mistakes in the subsequent actions, they can change their position again and stab us in the back..."

"Besides that... I'm afraid the leader of 'Netherfire' has a different vision. Maybe he has already seen through the real intentions of the person who hired them... that is, Edmund... Even if we don't know that his ultimate goal is to take revenge on Turhe, we at least guessed that someone is using them as a gun... That's why he adopted a conservative strategy..."

After listening to Master’s analysis, I was already feeling dizzy.

It turns out that during that crisis, this "Netherworld Fire" actually considered so much?

......

"Well, sleep a little longer before it gets light... I'll call you when the time comes."

After sharing the story in the dream, the master said to me.

"......But if I sleep now, I won't fall into the dream again, right..."

You know, once you enter that dream, you can't exit it on your own initiative...

"Don't worry, I'm here." Master's words made me feel much more at ease.

".....Um......"

I got up, wiped the sweat off my face, and picked up the quilt that I had kicked to the ground. Under the scent of Beorra, I calmed down the anxiety and fear brought by the injury in my dream, closed my eyes again, and waited for the dawn to come...

......

Fortunately, this time the sleep was not deep and I did not fall into dreams again.

A new day has arrived as promised.

"Good morning, Wu Yue, um... why do you have dark circles under your eyes again..." Beora said with some concern.

"...It's nothing serious, I just didn't sleep well... " That's all I could say.

"...That shouldn't be the case...I've been sleeping soundly these past two days. Could it be that the effect of aromatherapy varies from person to person?"

You can't continue talking like this, or you'll be exposed...

So I hurried into the kitchen to see if there was anything I could do to help and divert my attention.

But I didn't expect that Lulu got up so early and was already in the kitchen.

This is so rare...

"Good morning, Wu Yue." Ke Lulu said with a yawn.

"But Lulu? I thought you were still..."

"Still sleeping, right? I want to continue sleeping, but Beorra's aromatherapy makes Koru's sleep quality so good, 'get twice the result with half the effort', you understand..."

What a great way to "get twice the result with half the effort"...

"On the contrary, you, Wu Yue, actually have dark circles under your eyes in this sleeping environment. It's very abnormal~"

"The day before yesterday morning, you asked me about my dream..."

"You haven't got any strange disease..."

...But Lulu's observation can be said to be quite sharp.

But I'm not sick...

"Forget it... It's hot, it's normal to have trouble sleeping, remember to drink more hot water~"

After saying this, Ke Lulu walked out with the plate.

......

During breakfast, the four of us discussed the guild's invitation.

"I think it's almost time for the holidays, so I can deal with that matter then..." Beora said.

"Well, it would be better if this matter is implemented as soon as possible." Sophia agreed.

It's been a while since I responded to the guild's invitation, and it seems impolite to delay any further...

"Then I'll go talk to Miss Matilda later," I suggested.

That was how it was settled.

After breakfast, everyone went about their business, and I naturally went to the Academic Affairs Office alone.

dong dong dong.

"Wu Yue, come in."

This time, Miss Matilda knew it was me before I even opened the door.

I opened the door and walked into the small room of cleaning magic as usual. After a while, I staggered out and walked in front of Miss Matilda.

"This is the first time I've seen you since I came back from the North." Miss Matilda said as she lowered her head to write.

"Yes, Miss Matilda, I haven't had the chance to report to you..."

"...It's okay...By the way, take this. You may have forgotten to take it."

Miss Matilda put down the pen in her hand, put a box on the table, and said to me.

???

I walked over, opened the box, and found several pieces of debris inside.

"This is......"

"Fragments of the 'Dragon Stone'." The master reminded.

"Next time when you're done, search the area more often. We almost missed it..." Matilda said with some anger.

"But how do you know..."

"Don't ask me that. Little Lysa is looking for them. You are looking for them too, aren't you? That's enough."

"Thank you so much... This is really..."

This is really helpful...

"If you want to thank someone, I'd rather thank your senior. Meili went all the way to the far north to find these things."

Senior Meili?

No wonder I didn’t see her in Reinhardt City...it turns out she was on a secret mission.

"Besides... I also want to see what it will be like after all these things are put together... So, I am just doing my part on behalf of the academy."

"Okay, okay, what big thing are you going to do this time?"

There was no secret this time, and I told Miss Matilda everything about the guild's invitation.

"Oh? I see. If you want to go, go ahead. Someone from the guild has already told us. Just be careful."

"...Is that all? Miss Matilda?"

Surprisingly smooth.

"What else? You little guys can make much faster progress by going out than in the academy, so why shouldn't I do it?"

......

Is that so...
