I Can See Your Code

I see your code (47)

“… … The curse is gone?”

Tanya nodded at her words.

“I heard from Byron. It felt as if the imperial family had collapsed and at the same time that it had regained its true nature.”

“… … .”

“… … Are you okay?”

“… … Are you sure of that?”

Convinced, he nodded again.

It’s not about hearing from anyone, it’s because it’s a setting I made myself. Considering that Byron’s personality hasn’t changed, it’s not like the setting has changed.

Tanya opened her mouth with a confused face.

“then… … What can’t I blame the kingdom for destroying the imperial family? Can’t blame the godfather for killing his father? Is that all my truth?”

“… … .”

He didn’t say anything.

After all, you probably know the answer better. Tanya stood silently, speechless, with a shocked expression on her face.

I looked at it and quietly closed the door and left.

You will need time to organize your thoughts by yourself, rather than someone to comfort you now.

“after… … .”

Did I just say it?

No, in the end, you’ll find out.

I walked around the room a little and went down the stairs.

Since Tanya’s original cause of death was Byron’s fault, I was just going to give it a little hint, but I didn’t know that she didn’t even know that the curse had been lifted.

Byron, that bastard had a very different nature, so I immediately noticed it.

It’s not that I don’t understand that kind of reaction from a position where I know roughly the past, I can only hope that time will solve it. I was going to heal him for a while, so it might have been a good thing.

So comforted, I arrived at the living room and looked outside.

late night.

The problem wasn’t that, I saw a piece of code standing at the entrance.

[NPC-1-162-4]

An uninvited guest, Navid, the S-class assassin.

… … Why is that man here? Now is the time to work in the Argon Kingdom.

I thought about it and hardened my face.

This guy is Layton now. If it is also in front of our house, there is only one reason.

An assassination quest for me.

I decided to do that later and went outside. If it happens to someone else, it’s a big deal.

I walked out the front door and looked at the entrance.

The benevolent old man stood there without a word, with a gentle smile on his face.

An eerie book tucked into his side in a black coat.

Looking at the in-game portrait, I didn’t think much of it, but seeing it in reality gives me goosebumps. The more I saw the magic codes running wild inside that body.

It’s almost like Cassia.

I couldn’t even get into the second part of the story, but what kind of monsters keep coming out like this?

Is there a mark in the city?

He approached the entrance slowly and spoke first.

“It is forbidden to enter this place.”

“Heh heh, what do I look like I’m here to sell?”

“Or what, begging?”

Navid smiled again at my chattering.

“I am not a peddler, nor a beggar. So what do you have left?”

“I do not know. Truth?”

“Evangelism. I’m here to tell you something good.”

“It’s true.”

I sighed and continued.

“Everything here is off-limits to vendors, begging, truth, cults, etc., so please stop and go home.”

“Don’t do that, but let’s hear it one more time.”

Navid smiled and continued.

“It will be the last word you hear in your life, but it doesn’t mean anything.”

A smirk came out of that statement. It’s the last word… … .

“Are you saying I’m going to die?”

“You got it right. Are you ready to listen now?”

“I do not know. I don’t want to die because I’m still in the midst of my future. Maybe you misunderstood the date of weaving the coffin?”

“Heh heh, my coffin has already been made for a long time, so there’s no need to worry.”

Navid opened the book he was holding.

I stared intently at the book. According to the setting, the cover of that book would be bast.

I was going to check to see if the settings are the same, but I can’t tell them apart with the naked eye. However, looking at it makes me nauseous. I don’t know if it’s because I know it’s real human skin.

Like it or not, Navid continued holding the book and speaking with an unconcerned face.

“Do you know about Amon-sama?”

“almond?”

“It is Amon. God of visitors.”

“I have never heard of such a God. I’ve heard of the god of shoplifters and the god of assassins.”

Navid frowned as if he was annoyed.

“There is a lot of misrepresentation like that among the general public. It’s not something Amon’s brothers like, so I’d like you to keep that in mind.”

Wow… … .

How long are you going to keep crying for not admitting it?

“If most people knew that, wouldn’t it be a mistake?”

“Even though the number may be higher, aren’t they those who do not serve Amon-sama? Naturally, understanding is inevitable.”

“No one wants to understand.”

Not all Assassins are Amon followers, but all Amon followers are Assassins. What would people be interested in learning something like this?

Not even just an assassin.

These are tortillas that have been tasted one by one.

A sane person would never want to get close.

“We can’t take responsibility for even the ignorant.”

“Anyway, I have come to evangelize Amon. You mean this?”

Navid smiled brightly at my words.

“Yes.”

“I wouldn’t advise anyone I see for the first time to become an assassin… … .”

“Heh heh, you understand quickly. That’s right. There is a different way of evangelism from that side.”

Navid said with a bright smile and kindness.

“I have come to preach death to you.”

“It’s death… … .”

I laughed bitterly.

“Who is not even an Amonist, so your words are very emotional. You can admit it.”

“There are a few people who actually do double work. Rather, you seem to know quite a bit about the Amon religion.”

Navid looked at me with surprising eyes.

It must be strange because it is not a widespread religion. It’s funny that the assassin religion is so widespread.

“It’s just about knowing.”

“It’s important to know at least a little bit. Hehe, I’m sure I’ll meet Amon’s cult in a place like this.”

“I’m not a Christian.”

“If you know about Amon-sama, then wouldn’t they all be members of the same religion?”

That way, I would have hundreds of religions.

Navid didn’t care whether I looked at him with sarcasm or not, and continued.

“Then do you know about the three questions of Amonism?”

He nodded slowly at that.

The three questions of Amonism.

This is the characteristic of the Amon religion that is the most distinct from the Assassination Guild. Three questions to ask the person before an assassination, known to be dead if not answered.

[Have you ever harmed your life?]

[If it hurts, is there a reason]

[Are there plans to harm in the future?]

Maybe it was those three… … .

“You know the question, so I don’t need to ask. So, what do you think the answer is? Just answer yes or no.”

I opened my mouth as I glanced at Navid with a look of anticipation.

* * *

Until this morning, Navid was in a very bad mood.

The reason is, of course, Layton, for coming to this city of scum. At one time, it reigned as the best city on the continent, but look at the situation now.

The streets are filthy and lifeless to people’s eyes. Besides, everyone is busy looking around with a vigilant eye.

Eyes that distrust humans.

Navid hated that filth.

Not material filth, but mental filth.

‘Amon said, ‘Do not look upon your neighbor with a vigilant eye.’

How did it become such a wretched city?

It was a sigh of relief for Navid who knew Layton’s former appearance, but work was work. There was no way I could not come, so I thought I would do my best.

‘But it’s strange.’

Navid saw a portrait with a goal painted on it.

A boy with blonde hair, sees through stealth, and is presumed to have a C-level force.

‘It’s not my job.’

Sending yourself an S-grade to a presumed C-grade at best, isn’t this too much of a waste?

‘The teacher’s appearance was a little strange, but… … .’

Navid shook his head to shake off his thoughts.

He must have changed his mind to doubt the Lord, who is the only heaven under Amon.

‘You must have a reason.’

He just needs to finish his work.

Still, I feel a little relieved when I arrive at Noblesse Street, where the goal is.

‘It’s still clean here.’

I liked it, but it didn’t change anything. People are still walking around with a vigilant eye.

‘This is the most prosperous street in the city… … .’

Even if it declines, to what extent did it decline?

tt off, Navid took a quick step forward. Shortly thereafter, a mansion of considerable size appeared.

where the target lives.

I was waiting at the front door, and after a while a blond boy came out.

It was evident that he was conscious of himself.

‘It was true that he saw through the secret.’

He hid all his magical powers, how the heck did you find out?

It was the first time this had happened since 20 years ago, when I was promoted to S-class.

‘Well, the continent is wide.’

50 years after joining the Amon Church.

I’ve seen all sorts of strange talents countless times. It’s embarrassing to say that noticing stealth is a skill.

‘It doesn’t really matter.’

Amon’s cults aren’t assassins, so they don’t do stealth things.

I only preach death proudly.

‘More than that… … .’

Navid looked at the target he was talking to.

I remember the name I threw away because I felt there was no need to remember it.

certainly… … Was it Ryan?

‘You’re cheeky.’

But it wasn’t just cheeky.

An unknown leeway flows through his body, and his attitude is imbued with natural respect.

Even if he hid his skills, he used to arouse people’s fear just with his clothes.

It means that such leisure and behavior toward such a self is not something that a child under twenty can forcefully imitate.

Navid had lived for many years and had seen a few such people.

‘A high-ranking nobleman of the empire. or… … A survivor of the royal family.’

If it’s the former, there’s no problem, but if it’s the latter… … It is also understandable that the headmaster assigned him.

‘It must have had a deep meaning.’

Navid smiled happily and opened her mouth.

“Then do you know about the three questions of Amonism?”

As he asked, Navid did not expect the little boy to know the answer.

It sounds like you know quite a bit about Amonism, but the three questions aren’t very widespread information.

So when Rihanna nodded as if it wasn’t a big deal, I couldn’t help but be surprised inside.

‘But that doesn’t change anything.’

No matter what answer you give, all that remains is death.

Still, he’s a guy I like after a while, so I’ll have to kill him mercifully. The head may be sacrificed to Amon, and the limbs may be cut and used as a sacrifice. Where else in the world can there be such glory?

Navid smiled with a kind expression.

“You know the question, so I don’t need to ask. So, what do you think the answer is? Yes, no, only answer with .”

Navid looked at Rian with a leaning eye.

positive or negative

Anticipating the answer was one of his little pleasures. The hit rate was also quite high.

Because more than 80% is correct.

‘The first question is… … Positive.’

he’s a smart guy

You’ll notice that ‘life’ doesn’t just mean humans. What human being has never even killed an insect?

‘The second question is also positive.’

He is not a person who deserves to enjoy killing without a cause.

Because there was no ‘smell of blood’ peculiar to such people.

However… … .

‘The third… … I don’t know.’

If you are a survivor of the imperial family, you must know your own destiny. It will be a bloody future.

There seems to be a lot of determination, but… … .

‘You may have realized that there is no way to survive from this place.’

If you die now, what’s the use of planning to kill you in the future?

For that reason, Navid couldn’t even guess what the answer would be as far as the last words.

‘Well, what does that have to do with it?’

Navid smiled kindly and looked at Rian’s mouth.

For the third question, I will admit my defeat. But first and second, I can’t be wrong.

‘Now, let’s try to answer it.’

Whether he knew his heart or not, Rihanna slowly opened his mouth.

“Yes.”

“… … What?”

And when Navid came to Layton, for the first time, he had no choice but to speak of embarrassment.
