A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

A brand new day.

Yesterday's case did not cause much of a stir in the city. Everything was going on as usual. On the surface...

"Ah? Someone's dead? And he's so close to us?"

Early in the morning, Beora heard about this from Stone, who came to inform her of the situation.

"Hush... don't make any noise. This is a serious matter. The murderer has not been found yet. In short, you should be careful... No... I'm worried about what you might do... Anyway, just don't go out and tell anyone."

"Alas... I was planning to take you around the city today... It seems that the plan has gone to waste... Let's wait a couple of days. I'll come back to see you after things are settled. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Shi Dong left the hotel in a hurry.

"The church is taking action." Kelulu said with a gloomy face.

The one who died was a demon, and the method used was so cruel, but Lulu couldn't bear it anymore. She grabbed the staff beside her, stood up and was about to leave.

"I have to go out for a while. Lunch... dinner doesn't have to wait."

"I'll go with you." Sophia glanced at Wu Yue, then followed Kelulu out.

"I've never seen Kelulu show that kind of expression before..."

Beorra said as she watched the two of them walk away.

"After all, the murderer's actions were indeed quite blatant, and he had clearly made it clear that he was trying to provoke the demons."

Yan said with a frown.

"...But Lulu is going to show up in the city at this time, won't something happen?"

"That's why Sophia is working with her..."

......

After a somewhat tense breakfast, Wu Yue dragged Yan to the city to find a training ground as the number of people was not complete, and officially began to help Yan open up a new track in ice magic.

As for Beorra, she stayed in the inn and did some research in the alchemy laboratory in the underground "armory" that each hotel branch was equipped with.

With Frost in the backyard, there is no need to worry about safety.

After hearing about the incident, Wu Yue walked on the streets of Freedum again. He felt that the city no longer had the bright feeling he had when he first saw it. Instead, there was a bit more gloom hanging in the air...

"Let's go to the guild, Wu Yue. There will always be vacant training grounds there."

"okay."

"You seem a little absent-minded. What are you thinking about?"

"...Nothing...I was just wondering...There are so many beautiful things in the world, why are they often destroyed by humans?"

"Perhaps, everyone pursues different things, and their definition of beauty is different... Most people like power and money, and some people will do whatever it takes to get them..."

"I don't know if I've told you in detail about the commission I received after I first met you... The employer was a woman who had been suffering from domestic violence for a long time. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she pawned all her valuable jewelry and asked me to kill her husband."

"Her husband is the guy who has been engaged in human trafficking for a long time and delivers goods to Debbie."

"After completing the commission, she cried and told me about her past experiences. Her husband was not like that before. He went from being a down-to-earth, hardworking man to a demon who resold children. All it took was an opportunity... gambling."

"Look, a beautiful family is ruined just like that."

"The husband and wife, their definition of happiness deviated halfway, which ultimately led to the destruction of their family."

"The same is true for the world as a whole. Countries, races, and beliefs are all on different paths. The less cooperative interests there are between them, the greater the possibility of conflict. It cannot be changed."

"Before leaving the Marley Papal State, I passed by the Cathedral of the Holy Light Church. Countless civilians gathered in front of the church, queuing up to buy indulgences, holy water, amulets, and other things... This is the beauty that believers of the Holy Light and the Goddess of Light pursue. Even though this behavior seems abnormal and even a little stupid to outsiders like us... You can't deny that these things do bring them spiritual comfort, allowing them to have a force to support them when they are penniless or even seriously ill, and face this cruel world..."

"How should I put it...Although the church is hopelessly rotten, for the common people...it is already a rare good thing...After all, no one knows, without the church, will their lives be better or worse?"

"As individuals... it is enough for us to pursue the little beauty that belongs to us within our capabilities. What do you think?"

Yan's words are quite thought-provoking.

"...I still want to work hard, to do something, even if it's insignificant, for all the beauty I see before my eyes..."

After pondering for a long time, Wu Yue looked up and said.

I have witnessed so many things along the way. What was my original goal?

Become strong, strong enough to protect yourself and your family.

But as his strength gradually grew, Wu Yue couldn't help but start thinking, is this the only meaning of becoming stronger?

Think about the people you have met and the things you have heard. There are many idealists like Yingzi, and there are also extremely realistic people like Mr. Eleven.

But in fact, they all completed their own journey without any regrets.

In order to leave no regrets in his life, Wu Yue felt that he had to do something...

Do you only have lofty ideals, or do you only focus on the little reality in front of you?

None of them are what I want.

You must have ideals and also be realistic.

Try to leave something for this world, just like the legendary characters in the stories...

"Is that so..." Wu Yue's short words made Yan somewhat moved.

Once upon a time, she had thought like Wu Yue, becoming a hero in the eyes of the world and a "legend" passed down from mouth to mouth.

But when she grew up, she realized that her talent was actually mediocre, and she just had a good teacher...

After struggling to make a living for ten years and living on the edge of a knife, he managed to gain a reputation in the mercenary circle.

I didn't know when I had almost become a boring adult...

"That's great. I support you, Wu Yue. You will definitely become a legend in the future, and all the bards will sing your name throughout the continent."

"...Sister Yan, don't be so blunt...There are people watching us..."

Wu Yue covered his face.

"..."

......

Adventurers Guild.

"The newly built guild is different. Everything is new. Even the tellers look much better."

Walking into the Freedum Adventurer's Guild, it seems to have a new look and a new atmosphere.

With all races gathered together, the atmosphere was obviously much more lively.

After finding the receptionist and renting a training ground at the high price of one gold coin a day, the two went straight to the backstage of the guild.

The guild's backstage was much larger than the front stage, and there were many more staff members here than one might imagine.

After all, handling all kinds of commissions in the entire city and its surrounding areas is definitely not something that a few guild staff at the front desk can handle.

After passing through the work area, we arrived at the open-air training ground.

The field was naturally empty.

Who would spend money to rent a training venue in the guild all day long for nothing? Don’t they need to take commissions and eat?

The rich, on the other hand, simply looked down upon the guild's venue and bought their own.

It is only useful for people like Wu Yue who don't have to worry about their livelihood and have no fixed place to live.

"It's okay if there's no one around. Just be quiet."

"......Then, Sister Yan, let's learn from what I know......"

"I understand, Teacher Wu Yue~"

"...Uh, please don't call me that...it sounds weird..."

......
