A female ninja.

The girl here is a female ninja, there is no other way to explain it. Its the same ninja outfit that Ive seen in countless video games. Only how do you convince a female student to wear Ryu Hayabusas silly falcon face mask? Its not pleasing to the eye at all!

Why are you staring at her face for so long?

Aliyah said grumpily.

I was only thinking that a female ninja wearing a face mask isnt keeping with the aesthetic, thats all.

I said with a serious look.

Eh? It isnt that bad? I remember back when I was playing games, if I chose to become a ninja I would choose to wear a mask.

Ehat least it proves that the design of this outfit isnt a clique thingOk, we dont actually care about that detail. We know who this is anyways.

Well, thanks to the name and title system we have already gotten a good look at the ninja girls name.

Longji

(TL: lit. Dragon Woman)

Ninja LV 42

Evil Unfeeling Cold-blooded One-Hit Kill Unusually Restrained Dragon Sword Inheritor Fugitive

When I read her titles I began to feel depressed.

Its nothing else, just, what do you mean by dragon sword inheritor? Dont tell me that World took a videogame over from our world to play? Even if that was true, you dared to not even change the name or anything? Arent you afraid that other people will check the copyright?

As a result of the words I said in my heart, their titles suddenly changed. The Dragon Sword InheritorbecameDeep Blue Sword Inheritor.

World-chan, are you watching us like an 8 PM serial drama?

Nevermind. It doesnt matter. It would be better to investigate the reason that this guy attacked.

Here you go Aliyah.

Eh? Why are you giving her to me?

Bullshit, dont tell me you want me to frisk her?

Frisk

Pausing for a moment to think, something seemed to come to Aliyah and she stopped and stared at me.

Then she moved in front of the ninja.

Seriously, shes treating kindness like donkey guts

But, I noticed that as we were talking about nonsense, Oyado had been quietly taking a lot of things off of Longjis body.

Ninja throwing darts, kunai, a spell and some broken things, and of course money.

Although its only 3 pieces of silver.

So poor. When I see those three coins I kind of feel like I should put in a few gold coins.

I definitely have an abnormal amount of money.

Is there evidence of their identity, or information about their mission?

Not yet big brother. But there was a picture on her.

Picture?

I took the card with a magical glow from Oyado. When I tapped it a silhouette appeared on it.

Um

Why does this picture seem so familiar?

The photo was of a clearly tall woman. They clearly werent a weak soldier based on their clothing. But their face was unclear, it looked like a shadow was obscuring their appearance.

Looking at this photo, I realized that two people we had met had looked similar to this. One of them was the person we had just met, sister Lu.

The other person was

Tai Shixi

But its obvious that the person isnt Tai Shixi, just that they are similar.

Thats because the person in the photo is getting ready to use a skill, but there isnt a long halberd in their hands.

Thats right. Shell continue to hold her halberd even when shes using skills. Ive never seen her let go.

And

She wore the same armor, 24 hours a day, for an entire year. Except for the clothes the duke recently sent her, I havent seen her in any other clothes. But the person in the photo is wearing different clothing.

In the end, the person in the photo isnt Tai Shixi or sister Lu but looks similar to them.

Thinking that, I summoned a water sphere and dropped it on Longji.

Ah!

She suddenly awoke and wiped the water off of their face. Despite wet hair, she looked at us and her appearance before jumping into a corner and watching us warily.

Yo. Dont be nervous Longji. I just want to ask you a question.

I took out the picture and showed it to her.

Are you looking for her or are you planning to kill her?

YouGive that back!

She tried to rust towards me, but didt even get halfway before a shadow rushed out and kicked her back.

I realized that it was Oyado who had shot out. Oyado gave Longji a flying kick, and she actually tried to doge it in mid-air. She grabbed her side after the falling down in the doge and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Dont attack too strongly or shell die.

I could see that there was only a little bit of HP left after she fell.

How am I supposed to get information if she dies?

Well, dont call me cold-blooded. A single thoughtless action can set you back when dealing withEvilpeople.

But to keep her alive, I waved and half of her HP was restored.

She seemed to feel the change in her body and looked at me an amazement.

After some time, she seemed to sigh and replied.

Im going to kill her. Thats the mission.

Oh? Do you know the name of the person you are going to kill?

I dont know it. But if I kill everyone who looks like the picture then the job will be done.

There was no expression on her face when she said it. It was as if it were natural.

Thats a really awful theory

It looks like Longji is already a half brainwashed killing machine? Thats interesting. While Ive seen it in anime this is the first time Ive seen it in real life.

Un, she isnt that frightening. Or at least she looks cute. I dont know if she is acting in order to complete her mission though

Well, it doesnt matter.

Thats funny. When do you need to be done with your mission?

It has to be done for me to go back.

Sounds fun.

When I thought about it, it suddenly seemed interesting.

I have a proposition. Ill help you find this person and in exchange you wont kill any innocent people. How about it?

Hey hey hey what are you thinking!?

Aliyah said from the sides.

False charity?

I was suddenly interested. There arent that manyEvilpeople who would calmly talk with us.

Welldont be too over the top.

Its alright as long as we can finish the task.

Suddenly, Longji replied.

I agree with your condition.

What is she thinking?
