Volume 5 Chapter 2 Assassin
"Rain-san...!?"
Nina screamed.
"Run!"
I shouted.
"Uh, um..."
"If you stay here, you'll get involved too! I'll be fine, so please get away quickly!"
To be honest, if she were taken hostage, it would be a big problem.
"O-Okay! Um... I'll call for help right away!"
Seemingly understanding my intentions, Nina ran off in a hurry.
The assassin didn't chase after her.
I felt relieved.
If they had targeted Nina, things would have been different.
"I won't kill anyone other than the target."
The assassin seemed to sense my relief and said.
"More importantly... That last attack could have killed you for sure. Are you so calm because of some kind of protective item?"
"You talk a lot for an assassin."
I focused my gaze on them.
They had a small stature.
Their voice was muffled, neither clearly male nor female.
Their age was also difficult to determine.
"You cannot kill me."
"I am a professional assassin. I will complete the job no matter who the target is──"
They said, as they approached.
Their presence vanished.
Suddenly, the assassin who had somehow appeared behind me, thrust the knife once again.
Simultaneously, something like a needle──.
"Poison? Sorry, but that's futile too."
"...What's happening?"
The assassin muttered with increasing bewilderment.
Then slowly began to retreat.
"I don't understand, but it seems you have a strange defense method."
"Are you planning to escape?"
"I'm not here to compete with you. If I can't kill you according to plan, I'll just revise the plan."
"I won't let you escape."
I reached into my pocket.
"I've prepared weapons like this, just in case."
I threw it casually.
"...!?"
The movement of the assassin stopped for a moment.
What I threw was just an ordinary rope.
But in midair, it moved like a living creature──
"D*mn...!?"
The rope wrapped around the assassin, immobilizing them.
"I-it won't come off...!?"
The assassin struggled.
"Magic Binding Rope"
I stood in front of the assassin.
"Its effectiveness is 10,000 times that of a regular binding ability. You can't move anymore."
"You..."
"Who hired you? You're going to tell me."
I removed the assassin's hood.
I was surprised to see the face.
"A girl...!?"
Yes, the true identity of the assassin was──.
A beautiful girl about the same age as Nina.
