Itsuki Kawasumi; or rather the Bow Hero had the high ego of being the strongest summoned hero. The others didn't really care as they had their own perspective of theirselves.

The Bow Hero was known for being independent.

He was a Hero who saves, or what it was ought to be.

(Y/N) was a retired assasin from her previous world but let's not dwell in that; despite her past, she was kind and caring for everyone, she just don't show it.

She was particularly saddened about Naofumi's seeming run away episode as she knew the truth behind the show(no not 😂) of the red headed, but was ultimately proud of his current situation.

Now, she was called as the Assassin of the Shadows.

Why you may ask?

Because no one has seen her do her works unless it is her prey.

She also worked for the Queen: gathering information and sometimes assassinating, but it was rare.

She was ordered to gather information and location about a cult named

By the name you would've know what it mean. It was rumoured that this certain cult was on Zeltoble, one of the Kingdom/Nation.

And fortunetly-not.

She had to go with

Don't get the bad idea. She respects the boy but he was too way ahead of himself. But unfortunetly, Cupid was being a bitch..

Currently on the way, he gives constant phrases like:

"Don't get in my way"

"If enemies attack, just hide. I'll handle them." With a proud and smug face.

Or something like that.

Though there's something she admires about him.

In his eyes, which couldn't lie held determination and hidden pain.

Currently, in a carriage, Itsuki tried to make the girl to talk. But no budge.

Staring at him through her emotionless eyes and raised brow, the blonde whined. He bothered Rishia, a young shy green headed girl to get me to talk which got her flustered and shook her head.

The look of the blonde made the corner of (Y/N)'s mouth curl up for a moment, before going back to it's previous look.

As dawn broke, the teen-agers felt exhausted still being in travel. And so they decided to sleep for a little while, but not (Y/N).

The said girl was glancing back in fort to Itsuki's position and in the forest pathway they were in. Afterall, anything could pop out.

Though what bothered her was the way Itsuki was painfully comfortably leaning his head in Rishia's shoulder. Her heart throb at the sight making a tiny frown gaze on her lips. Besides that, the honey-eyed boy was cute when sleeping, that she could agree on.

She looked away and sigh, before contemplating with her thoughts.

'Never had I felt like this.. Not after that time..'

Seemingly too buried on her thoughts, she didn't notice the boy had now woken up and was staring fondly at her.

Itsuki grew worried at the contorted face of the girl making him question.

"Are you okay?"

The (h/c) haired girl was quick to realize she had let her guard down and quickly answered with an:

"I'm fine"

The reply was simple but yet blonde was surprise at the harsh tone it contain, making his eyes widen in which the girl notice.

"O-oh.. U-uh, sorry about that, you just caught me off guard with your question.." She awkardly smile a little which threw her off; I mean why did she talk and mostly of all. SMILE!?

"Whoa.." Was the only boy could mutter out. The smile in which he saw for the first time was attractive, even if it was awkward.

"You should smile more.. It suits you. You also has a motherly tone, I thought you were forever stuck up but you can be sweet in words too." (Y/N) frowned and look away in embarrassment. Pink hue was tainted in her pale cheek.

Itsuki chuckled and grin.

He was right.

——

The next thing threw them off guard– the carriage which they were in, suddenly exploded in nothingness. If it wasn't for the fact that the explosion first happened under: or rather at the road, they'd be dead by now.

In a blink of an eye, they were held down by the on and only cult.

Panicking expressions was found on the others, but not (Y/N).

For her this made her job even more easier.

Slowly sliding her hidden knife at her hand out of its sheathe, she quickly cut her bounds before roundhouse kicking their leader and knocking him out.

Next was taking off her black gloves revealing a silver bracelet chains cuff(up) connected to her middle finger was a ring.

Holding her hand out up, thick waves of air gathered, forming a big ball of deadly windy air.

She closed her hand making the air ball disappear before she said.

"Chase!" Shouts of pain, crunches and seemingly breaking of something sounded through the forest.

The once forest filled with screams was now deadly silent.

She quickly placed her glove on before looking over her companions.

"Are you all okay? Sorry you had to see that.. " She smiled apologetically as she knew this would be the last time she would see them.. Or rather him. For now.

She saw the amazed look the two has but the pull was too much on Itsuki. She blushed in embarrassment and look away, hiding her reddened cheeks at the cute face Itsuki just made.

"What.. Was that??" Questioned the boy, while Rishia still had a shock expression.

"Eh.. Assassination? Extermination? Murder?" She replied like it was nothing before picking up her belongings.

"I nee—"

"Wait.. Are you the Assassin Hiding in the Shadows?" Again, questioned the blonded in which (Y/N) answered by nodding.

"Unfortunetly, I have to go as I have done my job.." Before the girl could leave, Itsuki stopped her.

"Wait!"

"Yes?" She answered with a questioning look.

"I.. err.. Umm.." Itsuki scratch the scruff of his neck with a sheepish look.

(Y/N) walked towards him and smiled.

"I know" She leaned down and placed a quick kiss on his lips. Although quick, it was filled with love and passion. The guy blushed. For a guy with a high ego, he didn't have a high tolerance for GIRLS.

"Next time we meet, I'm giving more than that." Was what she said before disappearing leaving the boy with a super red face.

Rishia, who was there all along fainted at the scene that happened. One thought in mind.

"Did I just see that..?"

Yep, I'm not dead. Sorry for the SUPER LONG wait, this scene just popped outta my head.

Belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! :)
