Chapter 4. Andso their story begins.(5)

Oh good, you did actually come this way.

Oh deary me. Can I just get a ghost instead?

Whats this? You look like you saw a ghost.

Hoho, IfonlyI was actually looking ata ghost right now

Why are you here.

I looked around, trying to check ifthere were any assassins nearby, butit wasnt like I could find them inthe first place. Most assassins used energy to hide their bodies, meaning thatthey would be invisible to me.

No, beforethat, the fact thatthis girl infront of me found this place is a huge problem.

Oh my, isnt it obvious thata former disciple would come to visit her teacher~?

Her grinning face might look extremely charming, butright nowit just looks like a face of a god damned succubus. Beforethat

How did you know about this place?

This was a path thatI created using the dwarven magic tools thatI smuggled inhere. Do you evenrealize how much money I spent onmaking this thing?! I had zero mana, soI had to use extra-expensive magic tools thatdidnt cost any mana atall!

Andsince I couldnt evenactivate the magic stones onthose tools, I had to make the kids activate it asa test anduse those stones forseveral days straight digging the path! Its a path thats filled with my blood andsweat! No one was supposed to know about this!

I guess she isnt running the information department fornothing?! Did she find out all the secret paths already?!

I thought various thoughts like these inpanic, butthe response I got was pretty dull.

I found it whiledigging an escape path?

what.

I spoke with a slightly surprised tone, butshe didnt seem to have noticed. Well, to be more exact, she seemed to be recalling some past memories of hers, seeing how she was frowning quite harshly.

Well afterthe metal bat came out, I began digging an escape path with the other kids andfound this?

She was actually thinking of running.

Why didnt you run?

Too many traps. Andby the time we managed to get through all of them, you were done with us.

Is thatit then whyare you here? Is it the organization?

The kid shook my words away with her hands, andsmiled.

Teacher, do you no, did we evenhave loyalty forthis organization inthe first place? The empire gets destroyed onceit loses power, andthe kingdom gets disintegrated onceit loses its meaning. Andan evil organization can get destroyed atany time inhistory. Thatwas what you said, remember?

I said that?

Sure.

My mouth says the opposite of my thoughts. The bat mumbled something inmy head, butI just ignored it andkept talking.

But the organization did not get destroyed ye

It did, though?

The girl cut me off beforeI evenfinished my sentence. I thought the Utopia project andthe status of the Organization would have bought some time, butI guess not

I only managed to understand how the organization fell soquick thanks to the girls next words.

One of the 3 fighter groups inthe organization got beat up by you, andthe financial manager took away all the money andran. I took my people away using one of your secret paths aswell. Andit turned out thatthe biggest fighting force inthe organization was a part of the empire all along.

Rian was?

I think he was a descendent of the Hascell family? He basically took over half of the Black Sword Corps, andhe took away basically all the classified info inthe organization aswell.

Hoho, thatdamn trash was actually a noble. I thought he was a kid from the hood orsomething?! How the hell did thatkid whoswore faster thana street rapper manage to be some nobles kid?

No, beforethat, sinceRian was friends with one of the head commanders inthe Black Sword Corps, it makes sense thathe took over about half of them, but

Even so, its too fast.

Evenifthe Black Sword Corps helped the imperial troops get in, theres still the elite forces of the boss thatneeded to be defeated. Thatshould have bought quite a

Well, thats what I thought, but.

The Sword Saint killed all the elites.

Wow, ok.

Not only that, me andGeral brought our elite troops andkilled them aswell.

Mm, so inconclusion

Because of that, the rest of the members of the Organization whoare still alive are just dying to kill you~

What the hell?! Why?!

Why?

Isnt it obvious? Me andGeral betrayed, our seniors were all spies, our juniors ran away already, andthe kids youre taking care of are kind of like spies aswell. Inother words, youre basically atthe center of everything.

So inother words, I became the person whodestroyed this organization?

Well, more like, they think you came here specifically to destroy them?

What about the empire?

Mm they want you pretty badly aswell. Just whendid you manage to get acquainted with the princess Ah, she was the person whohired me inthe first place. She said shed make us government officials aslongasyou were captured.

-Wao this princess is a total yandere.

Yeah then

So you came here to capture me, then?

Cia smiled whenI asked this.

No, I came here to elope!

-She seems to be a lot worse.

Yeah
