Chapter 43: Assassination

The night sky followed Momoko, and after walking for a while, the two came to a large room, where a table several times longer than normal came into view, with chairs placed at intervals on either side of the table.

Although there were a lot of chairs, there were actually only three people sitting there, one of whom was Avril who had just met the night sky, but she had changed her original dress into a pink dress, and Strawberry in a maid costume stood behind her.

Sitting in the center is an old man with white hair, dressed in gorgeous but not vulgar clothes, holding his own ninja knife in his hand, I don't know if it is because of the broken appearance of the ninja knife, or the material of the ninja knife, which makes his kind face as a different world have doubts.

A servant stood straight beside him with the sheath of a ninja sword in his hand.

Sitting opposite Avril was a dignified woman, her face slightly wrinkled by the passage of time, talking to the servant beside her, and when she saw the arrival of the night sky, the servant next to her clapped her palms, and the crisp sound broke the silence in front of her with the merging of her hands.

With the applause, the servants came in through the side passageway, some pushing carts with saucers that they didn't know what to cover, and some holding vases with ornate patterns and freshly picked flowers, placed on the table one at intervals.

One of the servants pulled the chair across from the old man and made a gesture of please, indicating that this was the location of the night sky.

Night Sky, who didn't know what to do next, saw his movements and understood what the other party meant, so he smiled and nodded and walked over and sat on the chair.

The servants placed the plates and knives and forks in front of the four people seated in the chairs, and then lifted the lids, and as soon as they lifted, the white heat and the appetizing smell came to the surface.

The woman looked at the old man who had not yet diverted her attention from the knife, shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly, then coughed lightly twice and called the old man back.

After finding that the night sky was sitting opposite him, the old man hurriedly handed the ninja knife to the servant next to him, and the servant who took the ninja knife inserted the knife into the sheath, and walked towards the night sky under the nod of the old man's nod.

"I'm sorry. Without the master's consent, he brought his weapon to admire, and the old man's wrinkled face moved at his rude behavior, and a kind and amiable smile was revealed.

"It doesn't matter. Night Sky took the ninja knife from the servant's hand and placed it where it was supposed to be, shaking his head at the old man and saying, "I would also like to thank you for taking me back to your home from a coma and taking good care of me. ”

Knowing that the old man in front of him was the owner of this house, Drew Issing, the night sky bowed to him to show respect and gratitude.

"Have you ever heard of elves?"

Although it is impossible to get the elf from Peach's mouth, when she thinks of Peach's identity and status, maybe she just hasn't heard of the existence of the elf, but it doesn't mean that there are no elves in this world, and the night sky with the last glimmer of hope asked.

"Elf, what's that?" but what Drew asked rhetorically without any hesitation.

"Nope. It's nothing. Knowing that the well-informed other party didn't know the existence of the elves, the night sky, which was still holding a glimmer of hope, pursed his lips with his tongue, and then shook his head in frustration and helplessness.

"Dad, let's go. Avril, who was sitting next to Drew, saw that he was still about to say something, and recalled his father's previous experience of exchanging weapons with guests, which caused the food to become cold, and before he could speak, she preemptively said, "It's rude to stop a guest who has just woken up from eating delicious food. ”

Hearing his daughter's words, Drew smiled and said, "That's right, it's the master's fault for making the guests hungry." ”

With that, she picked up a knife and fork and began to process the food in front of her, and when Avril and the woman saw it, they also picked up the knife and fork and began to eat. Watching Drew in action, the night sky was looking at the food in front of them.

The food in front of him was hearty, it was a huge piece of meat, and judging by the juice on it, it was a fat piece of meat, as for what kind of meat, he did not know. But for the night sky that has been in a coma for a month, this hearty food may have a negative impact on his body.

"Don't worry, Dr. Andriol cooked it for you. The woman put a small piece of meat in her mouth and chewed and swallowed it, and when she saw that the night sky had not yet picked up a knife and fork, she understood that he was hesitant to eat such a greasy food, and explained with a smile.

"Doctor?" It was then that the night sky realized that his plate was different from that of the Drew family, their plate was white with some patterns, while his own was blue, with some white patterns painted on it.

Understand that this is to distinguish their food from their own, so that the servants do not want to confuse their own food, and of course it cannot be ruled out that this is a dish for the guests.

Night Sky picked up a knife and fork, cut a small piece of meat, and took a bite, the bitter feeling instantly emanated from the meat he bitten, stimulating his taste buds. Suddenly stimulated, the night sky's face couldn't help but twist, but it quickly returned to its original state.

Knowing that this was not meat, but a medicinal meal, the night sky began to chew.

It's bitter and pungent at first, but it tastes good when you get used to it.

Swallowing the medicinal food in his mouth, the night sky couldn't help but praise the chef's craftsmanship in his heart.

"What kind of work is the little brother doing?"

How the medicinal food made by his own chef tastes, Drew is still very measured in his heart. It was a bitter taste that even the strongest-willed man he knew could not bear. When I saw the night sky return to normal so quickly, I couldn't help but wonder where he came from.

"I'm a.... People who travel around. ”

When Drew asked about his job, Night Sky wanted to answer that he was a ninja, but when he thought that this was a different world, if ninja was an unpopular profession, then he might be kicked out of here by the other party.

When he saw Avril looking at him with curious eyes, he hurriedly changed his words.

"Lying is not a good thing. The lies that the night sky uttered improvised were seen through by Drew at once.

Drew is the one who finds the night sky lying on his doorstep and takes it home to take care of. When he found the night sky, he didn't have any luggage, not even the most basic money, and from his outfit, it didn't look like he had been robbed.

The mission location of the night sky is only the border of the Fire Country, plus the convenience of the Flying Thunder God, so he didn't pay attention to this kind of distance that only takes a short time to go back and forth, and he didn't carry any money or luggage with him when he originally wanted to return to Konoha before noon.

"I'm sorry. The lie was debunked in the night sky doubly embarrassed, and then said his profession, "I'm a ninja." ”

"Ninja?

Hearing the night sky introduce himself, the expression on Drew's face instantly became serious, and his two white eyebrows couldn't help but squirm towards each other.

The servant next to him saw his master's demeanor, as a servant who could stand next to Drew, if he didn't have some martial arts, how could he protect the master at a critical moment. Put your hands behind your back, silently clench the weapon hidden behind your back, and wait for the master's command.

"As long as someone pays for it, I will also handle some killing tasks. Looking at Avril's puzzled gaze, the night sky was like a child who had done something wrong, bowing his head and speaking in a voice so small that it was hard to hear.

Just as Drew was about to ask again about the nature of the night sky's work, a man in the prime of life with a sword at his waist walked in.

Seeing the visitor, Drew's serious expression changed back to his original kindness, and at the same time he glanced at the night sky vigilantly. In his eyes, the night sky has been equated with those assassins who work for money.

The night sky, which had originally lowered his head, suddenly smelled a smell that had not appeared in this living room before, and had carried out countless murderous missions such as crusading against villains, bandits, and traitors, he immediately recognized the smell of blood, and he looked up at the prime man who walked in in confusion.

There were no blood stains on the body of the prime man, and his clothes were very clean, as if he had just been changed, which made the night sky, which originally thought that the other party had just experienced a fierce battle, which would cause the smell of blood in the air, couldn't help frowning.

Facing the smiling Drew, the strong man was expressionless, his eyes were staring at him, and he slowly approached him step by step. As he got closer to Drew, his hand began to slowly move towards the knife at his waist.

Night Sky watched this scene, recalling that he had stayed in the Iron Country before, and had seen the movements of the samurai there when practicing the sword drawing technique, which was somewhat similar to the strong man in front of him.

Realizing that the other party was not good at all, Drew did not have any consciousness at all, and did not have any vigilance against his movements, even the servant beside him was smiling, completely unaware of the wrongness of the prime of life.

When he saw that the other party had already unsheathed the knife, and his right hand was about to pull out the knife at his waist and cut Drew in two, he knew that the servant was still guarding his night sky, and immediately shot the knife in his hand at Drew.

Just as the night sky thought, the servant immediately picked up the knife in the night sky and jumped away from the place.

The knives that cut meat and the knives collided with each other, accompanied by a crisp sound, and the dull sound of a chair being cut off and falling to the ground. The woman who was still eating quietly and Avril couldn't help but be stunned.

"This.... What's going on?"

The servant looked at everything in front of him, saying that he couldn't understand it at all, he just saw the night sky and wanted to be unfavorable to Drew, so he would immediately pick up Drew, but now it seems that if there was no sudden attack from the night sky, I am afraid that Ddrew would have turned into a headless corpse.

Drew, who had just escaped death, looked in disbelief at his prime with a sword in his hand, staring at him without any emotion, and he really couldn't understand why he would face his sword against him.

Avril and the woman had a kind of servant who looked at everything in disbelief as much as she saw them.

"Madame (Miss). Please get out of here. ”

The servant standing behind the woman, and the strawberry standing behind Avril, invariably took the two of them away from the place who didn't want to believe what was happening in front of them.

Seeing this sudden change, the other servants did not choose to leave or fled in a panic. It's not because they're not afraid of death, it's because Drew, who is worth their lives, is right in front of that prime of life.

Drew is a person who has seen countless big scenes, and even though it makes him hard to believe what is happening in front of him, he still calms down, looks at the colorless eyes of the prime of life, and the knife that has just been shot at him in the night sky, and his brain is racing rapidly. He knew that if he didn't have a knife in the night sky, he would probably have just hit the ground on his head.

I also understand why he did this, the servant who had just saved him, his attention was on him, as long as he made a move, he would immediately protect himself. And the night sky took advantage of this and shot the knife at itself.

His body was not agile enough to dodge the throwing knives that shot at him, and the table in front of him allowed him to pick himself up and retreat, while also avoiding the blades coming from the other side.

A smile tugged at the corners of Drew's mouth at Night Sky's behavior, and he felt guilty that he was still suspicious of him just now.

Drew looked at the servants who had not yet left, and couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart, worried that they would be affected, and said to them, "You guys get out of here." ”

Upon hearing Drew's words, the servants did not leave immediately, but looked at him worriedly. Obviously, they won't leave here until he's safe.

"Sir, be careful. ”

The man clenched his weapon and rushed quickly, and the servant protected Drew behind him, and at the same time pulled out two short forks from his back, trying to defend against the attack. But the quality of their weapons was far apart, and when the blade touched the double cross, it immediately cut off.

Just as the blade was about to cut the servant in two, the prime man was suddenly knocked out by a red figure, and with a loud sound, a large hole was broken in the wall, and the prime man was knocked outside, hitting the ground several times in a row, and finally the body fell there in a twisted motion that the human body could not do.

“......”

Looking at the corpse lying there, Drew's face showed a hint of confusion.

===========================================

There was a girl kneeling in front of Asakura Ye, who had beautiful black hair and a pretty face without any traces of makeup, and was trembling with fear under the coercion of Asakura Ye, and what caused this scene was her control of the assassination of Drew in her prime.

didn't hide his anger in the slightest.,If you don't find it in time.,Cut off the girl's control over that prime.,Otherwise, the night sky would have to give an account of the Asakura leaf there.。 I learned from the girl's mouth that her superiors asked her to do this.

Knowing that the so-called superior in the girl's mouth was the bee-eater next to him, he felt that he needed to ask what was going on, and then unraveled the coercion while turning his head to look at the bee-eater, "Can you explain it to me?"

"I let them do it a week later. The bee-eater looked at the picture in the night sky, and was angry at the Asakura leaf, and just shrugged her shoulders to express that she didn't carry the pot.

Although the coercion was relieved, the girl did not stand up immediately, but continued to kneel there. Looking at her behavior, a harmless smile appeared on Asakura Ye's face, "Don't be so scared, I was just a little angry just now." ”

"Really?" The coercion just now had a psychological impact on the girl's memory, and even though Asakura Ye was full of smiles, her fear of him was still unabated.

"Really. Asakura pointed to the chair next to her and motioned for her to sit down.

After watching the girl sit down, Asakura Ye put her own food in front of her, and after seeing the food, the girl happily picked it up and kept sending it to her mouth, without the slightest fear of Asakura Ye just now.

"You just have to tell me who made you on a mission. ”

"It was Al Rajeth who sent me on a mission. ”

"Oh. Asakura turned his head to look at the beeeaters, "Where's that guy's home?"

Shifting the camera to Al Rajes' bedroom, seeing the guy lying on top of a pile of gold, silver, and jewelry, happy with a pile of disheveled women, Beeeater immediately turned the camera to the sky above his house.

After confirming the location of his house, Asakura Ye took out three sunglasses from the space ring, handed one to the bee eater, and then handed one to the girl, who was eating a delicious snack, looked at her inexplicably.

"Wear it, otherwise you won't be able to enjoy the beauty of the wait. ”

The girl thought about it, although she didn't understand what would happen next, but she knew that she was definitely not Ma Cangye's opponent, so she obediently put on her sunglasses.

After the three of them put on their sunglasses, a thunderbolt visible to the naked eye broke away from Asakuraha's arm and rushed into the clouds, and the lightning poured down like rain in a certain area.

Streams of light shone on the three of them, and the three of them watched through their sunglasses the rainstorm formed by lightning.
