After leaving Celestine with Lynn, I went on a hunt for the cult members in the Imperial Capital. I got permission to kill everyone no matter what their status is. But I still need to put on my disguise. Should I be Ninja again?

"Victoria, give me another disguise other than Ninja." I asked Victoria who is with me.

"Just a facemask and long black hair is enough for your disguise. If I add some breast, you will look like a woman." Victoria said.

"Just the mask and long hair then." I said.

"Okay. But, are you sure you want to kill all the cult members here? It will be too suspicious if you do that."

"You're right. I should have asked if there are some sort of criminal organization here. I'll kill them as well. Let's go back and ask."

"…it's not even five minutes since you left."

Does it matter how long I've been gone? In fact, since I only left for a while, those three should still be there. So, I open a portal from the Blobbies in Celestine's possession.

"I'm back." I said as I entered the portal and see Celestine, Lynn, and Claudia are still in the Empress' Chamber.

"Who are you!?" Lynn shouted.

"It's me, Roy. I'm wearing disguise to assassinate the cult members here." I said.

"What are you coming back here for, Roy? It hasn't been a while since you left."

Celestine asked while she's still being hugged by her spoiled sister who is actually older than me.

"It will be too suspicious if I just kill the cult members who have explosive devices in their mouth, so I want to ask if there are any organized criminal in the Imperial Capital that I can kill. This way, it will be seen as if the death of those cult members is related to the organized criminal." I said.

"Oh, you're smart! You will be much smarter if you had thought about that before you leave." Lynn said.

"And you will not be seen as childish if you just let go of Celestine."

"Never!"

Instead of letting Celestine go, Lynn tightened her embrace. Celestine just smiled wryly.

"Claudia, tell him."

Lynn asked Claudia to tell me about any organized crime that I allowed to kill.

"Well, there are many reports from the citizen about some gang members violating the law. Though we don't know their whereabouts are." Claudia said.

"Just tell me about them and their characteristic if they have any. I can look for them with my eyes. Albert has told you about my ability, right?"

"…you can see through everything and see things from far or even any small things that can't be seen with normal eyes. The see-through part is a bit disturbing, but I'll try to get used to it." Claudia said as she shyly covering her chest with her arms.

"Don't worry. I'm a doctor as well. There's nothing that I haven't seen."

And I can enjoy seeing one thing over and over again and not getting bored.

"I guess you're right." Claudia said as she relaxed her stance.

"As for you, I think you need to manage your diet. What you ate is too hard to digest. I think it's fine once in a while, but I think you ate that too much." I said.

"…now that's a bit disturbing."

"Other than that, you are very healthy. Just watch what you eat and you can maintain your body for a long time." I said.

"What about me!?" Lynn suddenly asked me.

"You? Just give up. You can't grow anymore. Unless you want to grow horizontally which I won't suggest. Other than that, you're healthy as well." I said.

"That's rude! I didn't ask about my breast!"

"I mean your height. But now that you mentioned it, your breast as well."

"Hey!"

Lynn complained. I just ignore her as I was listening to Claudia's report about the organized crime in the Imperial Capital. Seems like there are several of them. And only some has distinctive characteristic like a tattoo or some mark. I'll go after them.

"Alright then, I'll be leaving again. And I thought of giving you two these tomorrow, but today is as good as any day. So… Victoria."

"Okay!"

As soon as I called her name, Victoria who noticed my intention created some clones of Blobbies. I gave some to Claudia, and some to Lynn. Thanks to Victoria who still go hunting monsters from time to time, the amount of the clones she created has increased by a lot. And by sacrificing the endurance of her clones, she can create even more. So, I can still have a lot of Blobbies for myself.

"This way, I can create a portal to anywhere those Blobbies are. Make sure to keep them with you at all times."

I also explained how these Blobbies are still following my order so they can automatically protect the wearer in case of danger. But can only be done once, and they will be destroyed right away. Though once they are destroyed, Victoria will notice and she will inform me. Then I can protect the wearers.

"I guess that's all. I'll be going now."

I left through the window again and went directly to a location of an organized crime that I found.

According to Claudia, these people would rob expensive stuffs from the rich, and sold them. There were no evidences where they sold the stolen objects to and where they hide them. But I found where they hide it easily with my Divine Vision.

They are hiding under a rich man's house. Probably a merchant. And good news, the merchant is actually someone with explosive device in his mouth. He's a cult member hiding in this territory. Though as for the gang members who did the stealing, I don't see anyone who has explosive device in their mouth. I guess that merchant manipulated those people to steal for him.

Well, that doesn't matter. Let's kill him and all the gang members that I see.

I've been acting too cocky for a while. I think it's best to be careful again. I'll check if there are any expert level mages among these people.

Hmm… I think I'm safe. Then, let's kill everyone without being seen. Using a spear is difficult for an assassination, so let's use Blobbyknife. No, I think shooting them from afar is the best. Let's find a good position and make sure the silencer works well.

One, two, three… I keep shooting the gang members who are alone one by one. And if there are two or more people who by any chance are lining up, I try to kill them in one shot.

So far so good. And since the Blobbybullets disappear as long as Victoria willed it, there are no evidence in what is killing them. There is not even a trace of magic there.

After killing the gang members that I can see, it's time to kill the merchant. He's already asleep and the wall is blocking him. I can't shoot him through the window from this spot, so I moved to another spot where I can see him through the window, and shoot a bullet. The bullet this time is Victoria herself.

Before Victoria hit the window, she transformed into her slime form and landed without any sound. Then, she opened the window from a small gap. As soon as the window is opened, I shoot a Blobbybullet through the merchant's head and he died in an instant.

After that, Victoria locked the window again, and I summoned her to my side.

"Now, there's no trace of me. Not even a broken window." I said.

"I think that's too much work just to kill one man. You are too careful." Victoria said.

"Being careful is good. I can stay alive as long as I'm careful. Let's go find other cult members."

After killing that merchant, I went around to kill other cult members in the Imperial Capital along with some thugs that I see.

The next morning, there were rumors about the invisible hero who killed bad guys. That was me! I'm a hero!

Though the guards of the Imperial Capital are now searching for me and informing the citizens that I'm actually a criminal. I think it's the same as when I first became Ninja. Now I did it again, but in a different country. Will I do the same in Varadis Kingdom?

After checking if everyone's is awake, I returned to the Empress' Chamber to see that Lynn is no longer hugging Celestine.

"You're back. Are we going to continue our mission?" Celestine asked.

"You still want to come with me? I thought that you only want to come here."

"I said that I'll accompany you, so I'll be with you until we meet the King of Arturo. I also have met King Henry in the past. I don't know if he still remembers me or not." Celestine said.

"No! Why are you leaving again!?" Lynn protested.

"I won't feel safe until I destroy the cult. I'm not going to atone for my sin in killing innocent people. I'm doing everything for the future of the orphans." Celestine said.

"Well, I'm thinking of staying here for two more days. How about you return to Cassau and introduce your sister to everyone there? I'll pick you up again when we're leaving." I suggested.

"Okay. Wanna come, Lynn?" Celestine invited Lynn to come.

"Sure! Claudia, please take care of everything while I'm gone!"

"…you always asked me to do everything though." Claudia said.

Seems like she has a lot in her mind. I tapped her shoulder as I opened a portal for Celestine to return home. Then Victoria also come along while leaving some Blobbies for me.

"Now that they've gone, can you tell me the specialty of this Empire? I want to bring home souvenir for the others."

I spent the next two days buying souvenir for everyone, and then picked Celestine back to the Empire as we're about to continue our mission.

Next stop, Varadis Kingdom.
