Three days have passed. Every day Jean opens her eyes, eats breakfast with a man, walks around the streets. We came back at dusk and had dinner together.

These were days of leisure that I thought I had come to a resort, not Samil. It was because there have never been any assassination attempts so far, even when I was at home with a man.

The reason why Jin spent peaceful days is no different.

The place where Qin is staying in the first place is the house of an unknown intermediate cadet.

Most of the cadets on the street were inferior to him. The fact that Jin came out of there alive on the first day itself gave the cadets the perception that it was impossible to attack.

'I feel rather uncomfortable because no one has been after me since day one.’

Srrrrrrrrrr.

Jean leaned against the tree and turned the pages. A book borrowed from Samil's library that describes various poisonous plants and poisons.

Of course, it wasn't as professional and deep as visitors could borrow. However, Jean did not have much knowledge of poison, so she was quite interesting to read.

And two eyes watching him hiding in a tree across the street.

'Hehe. The youngest must like books. He's probably the only brother.’

Jonah. She was busy watching the youngest she had met in a long time.

There was a reason for Jonah to watch Jean for three days, even though she was extremely happy.

an exact level

Only when you get a good grasp of it can you send out assassins one by one that fits your level. And Jean, whom Jonah saw, had an incredible ability of sixteen.

'Looking closely, the youngest isn't just here and there. A sense of danger seems like a veteran who's already overcome a life-or-death situation several times.’

Even the Looncandel is extremely rare to have such an experience at 16.

On the contrary, unless he forced himself into a corner because he was a Looncandel, he would not stand on the street of life and death.

"By the time I was 16, I would have had a moment or two to overcome the crisis of death, but...What kind of life did the youngest have?’

The 16-year-old Looncandel goes through moments of overcoming the crisis of death once or twice, but Jonah's sense of Jin was something she could not get.

In fact, Jina's eyes are not wrong, as she has been suffering from many hardships compared to other pure-blooded Runkandel boys and girls.

I don't know Jonah, but including her previous life, Jin's experience was already in her mid-40s, and before her return, she always struggled with life and death from the weak's point of view, which was nothing to compare.

'It's interesting anyway! Mid- and mid-levels aren't enough....I'm going to have to send a group of senior assassins.’

Hehe, Jonah left the forest with a light smile.

'Hmm?

And Jean unconsciously looked at the place where she had left, and thought,

I feel like something's gone over there again....how many days have I been feeling this way? Ha. Starting with the clapping on the first day, we're going to have a nervous breakdown.’

* * *

"You, I wish you'd quit my house now."

The next evening, the man said in a tired voice. It was right after dinner as usual.

"Maybe I eat too much, or am I being too much of a hindrance to your life?”

When Jean asked with her eyes wide open, the man shook his head.

"No, it's not."

"Then why all of a sudden...…?”

Whoo... ...a man who breathes a long sigh.

"I gave up assassinating you."

"Ah......."

"At first I thought you were just a fearless little boy. Born to be an heir of no value and grew up through the good side of the world, such an unlucky kind. It was a big misunderstanding.”

"I see."

Jean and the man smiled awkwardly at the same time.

"......but four days. I've been peeping through the cracks to kill you for as many as four days, and I never got a chance. So I decided to admit it. I'm not at the level to kill you."

"Well, for that reason, I'd better go out. But why didn't you even try once...…?”

Failure to assassinate visitors is a major drawback. If you look like me, you must finish it at once. But you didn't give me a break, and I'm soon a promotion judge."

Should I comfort her?

The thought flashed across my mind, but Jean shrugged.

"It's been quite a meaningful four days for me. I've learned a lot from staying alert, and I hope you've gained something.”

Then the man laughed for the first time.

"Khaha, I didn't know you'd answer like that. I realized a lot of things. My skills have been stagnant lately, and I've been greatly stimulated......I have to say thank you.”

Soon the man reached out his hand and asked for a handshake.

"I'm not trying to assassinate you. But I'm asking because I want you to leave my house and get out of Samil alive."

Jin, who had been pondering for a while, held the man's hand together.

"I hope someday you will become an unknown sprayer and work for me. So I won't ask for your name. I'll pay you back for the free meals you've earned for a few days.”

After trusting the man's house, I finished my meal comfortably for the first time.

And as I went straight out of the house with my bag, it was a dark night without a moon.

'Now it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to the inn.’

Even if they stay at the inn, they won't get entangled anymore.

As soon as I was about to take a step with that in mind.

Jean felt something intuitively, and looked under her feet again. It was before he even moved five steps from the entrance to the man's house.

'Huh. What about this?

A trap likely to be used only to catch wild beasts. Two sharp hoops were held in the middle.

And about thirty such traps were laid to the roadside.

When dealing with assassins, they're magicians. Or you should think of it as a fraud, young master.

If Garon Altemiro's advice had never been recalled again, Jean would have been blinded by the trap for a few more seconds.

We're on!

Steep!

Jean quickly pulled out Bradamante and looked to the man's roof. I could see someone lying face down on it and pulling his face out of the roof.

It was a senior cadet sent by Jonah. And the cadet with only his face was biting a long thin wooden can. I'm trying to sting you.

The reason why the trap was set was to blur Jin's concentration for a moment and to make a gap to remove his face from the roof.

Fit!

The poisoned needle was fired first before the bradamante was all pulled out.

Fortunately, Jean was able to stop the poisonous sting with a half-picked sword, but could not fight back.

It was because the cadet immediately pulled the invisible string that had been tied to all the traps.

Dozens of traps in front of the house are flying toward the camp at once. As soon as it touches the body, the poisoned hoops will close and bite the gin.

'Oh, my God!

It was as if a flock of crocodiles were running with their mouths open.

Chaeng! Chaeng! Kang!

Jean pulled out the Bradamante and pulled out the traps. While the white blade, the best sword you can produce in your current skills, left an afterimage, several hoops grabbed the blade.

The cadet aimed for it. When an assassination fails, the ulterior motive is to trap Jean's blade and buy her time to escape.

The moment you stopped the first sting in the first place, you have already failed, so you have no intention of killing Jean with a trap.

So the cadet expected Jean to remove the trap holding the sword without pursuing it. Also, I expected Jean's sword to be broken by an inner trap.

"You bastard!"

There was no way to help Bradamante, whose traps were cast in ancient manhood. Jean just chose to leap to the roof with a sword full of traps.

Then he swung the Bradamante, who was more like a club than a sword, and threw him on the back of a cadet who had just begun to run between the roofs.

Whoo-wow!

Bradamante cut the air, creating a dull paraphernalia. The trap made the blade blunt and unable to stab him in the back, but Bradamante hit the cadet's thigh and fell next to it.

Chaeng-ggung! Jin who flies to the cadet who falters for a while at the same time.

Gotcha!

The two fell on the roof tangled together. Jin immediately climbed onto the cadet's stomach and wrapped an auror in his fist, and the moment he was about to hit his face.

"Again failure!"

The cadet shouted in an urgent voice.

"What?"

"I acknowledge your failure, boy. So please stop. You have won."

"If it were you, would you stop? Thank you for your cadet status, I won't kill you.”

Bugak!

The cadet's nose and cheekbones sank at a blow when Qin punched him. The blood spattered and Jean did not stop punching until the cadet fainted.

'As soon as you get out, you're going crazy.’

Roughly wiped the blood from his fist, and took the bradamante. Six traps were bitten by the sword, so it could not be used as a sword until it was taken out.

"I'm gonna have to get it out of here. No. We need at least three minutes to get rid of the trap holding the sword.’

Jean stopped her hand reaching out to Bradamante's trap and looked around.

This is the roof. While he had nowhere to hide himself, there were plenty of places for assassins to hide on the roofs of other buildings around him.

You must go looking for a safe place once ‘. This guy knew I'd get out of the house. I've set a trap in advance.’

Then you would have heard in advance from the man who had just given up his residence to Jean. I'll send Jean out after dinner, so try to assassinate him then.

'It would be right to judge that something was said above, rather than the man hitting me in the back. For example, someone has ordered me to hunt myself in earnest because I've got a rough grasp of my skills.’

It's scary to think that far.

Peeing!

Peeing!

This time, arrows flew in both left and right sides of the camp. Naturally, the poisonous arrow, Qin, could barely turn around to avoid it, but could not locate the launch.

Because another arrow flew in. How many people were shooting, arrows were pouring from all sides.

Once I had to go under the roof. At least a building wall is necessary to avoid an all-defensive attack.

I'm afraid there's something else down there.…!’

But there is no choice. If I didn't want to be in an arrow rack right away, I had to avoid my seat.

As Jean clenched her teeth and jumped down the street, Jonah smiled contentedly.

'Hee, take a little bit of trouble, baby. If you're chased like this for a week, your eyes will open up. You're already half open. If you can't hold out and die......I know it's so sad, but it's inevitable.’

Fun, fun, fun.

Jonah hummed as she looked at the back of Jin running. She just really wanted Jean to grow up.
