《Hero? I'm assassin, but that's the same right?》Chapter 8. My cute little Arachnee...
Advertisement
Seems like my 'little heist' got noticed... so... they started on searching the suspects... well more like arresting, beating and banging... erm... last one the nobles always did... just like the first two, so it's not like it's different? And they also blame each other AND royal family. Seriously? It's your fault for not protecting your ill gotten gains, so don't blame others!
Ai: “Master?”
Pyro: “What'cha want Ai?” Ai... she's so... stoic... or indifferent... last night when I asked her how did it go, she just said that they killed the dickless dude... or dickmouth dude... if he liked the taste, he could still have it inside... Oops... tehe... I forgot to kill his family... whatever... oh right... that was an accident... eh... monster... yes... it was some monster that they stumbled upon and got themselves... stabbed in the back... few dozen times... I need to show the girls how it's really done...
Nova: “Do you perhaps know what happened? Why all the commotion?”
Pyro: “Yes. They are investigating the Merchant case.” what?
Ai: “Um... merchant case?”
Pyro: “Yep! Some dude stole some coins from the merchants, or merchant guild... I guess they said something about a million gold.” not like I had stolen million.
*Whistle*
See what I'm talking about? Not like I have so much money on me!
Ai: “Master... million gold... that's... a lot?” Hoi hoi!
Pyro: “Eh... Nova had cost me, or actually crown, a thousand something gold, you two were bought for hundred-something, while good steel armor and weapon cost from 40 to 100 gold together. So... I guess a lot...” seriously... I could have...
Ai: “Understood.”
Kas: “Ai... Your tail is wagging...” hey Kas... way to go! Ai is blushing...
Ai: “... You haven't seen that...”
Kas: “Sure...”
Ai: “... all of you...”
All of us: ““Sure...”” She's so cute when embarrassed! Sometimes I think it's I who have a harem, not Ken...
Pyro: “Where's Ken by the way?”
Nova: “He was with Kleo the last time I saw him.”
Pyro: “Kleo? That's who?”
Ai: “Tiger-kin woman. He still tries to hit on her.”
Pyro: “Oh... 'onee-san' huh? Don't worry mate! I will support you... from the shadows... oh... I need to learn alchemy... I have title, but not mastery... need to ask the king.”
And so we entered the dinning hall...
JJ: “Guys have you heard?” JJ is again showing off.
Pervert 1: “What?”
JJ: “Someone had stolen gold from the nobles.”
Pervert 2: “When? How much?”
JJ: “This night... about how much... it's hard to say, but they say that vault in one mansion was picked clean, another mansion was collapsed, and one more mansion teleported.”

Random Guy 1: “WHAT?! Why? Any suspects?” some dude...
JJ: “They say they found enormous claw-marks on the grounds of one mansion. They think that teleportation array was disturbed, so they had to break in the vault.” right...
Rnadom Girl 1:“What about other two?” some girl...
JJ: “One collapsed, maybe they somehow messed up that one, but the last one just... vanished. Even staff was not there.”
Random Guy 2:“Maybe it was someone from the servants? They all vanished, so maybe-” another dude...
JJ: “Don't think so. It seems like whoever done that was master thief.”
BDL: “Um... maybe it's demons?”
Random Guy 3: “Guys... I think it's dwarfs... I mean they like gold, so maybe-” let's show off a bit...
Pyro: “Where have you been when we were explained the stuff about races? Dwarfs are solitary, and quite bad with magic, except gnomes, but they are mostly good with earth magic... now thinking about it... maybe they opened a sinkhole and stored mansion underground?”
JJ: “... Quick we need to tell his majesty.”
Pyro: “Nah you go. I'm going to train... I so want an ice-cream...”
Heroes: ““ ICE-CREAM?! HERE?!”” What?
Pyro: “Um yes? They got milk, sugar can be replaced by honey or I can probably make fructose... I mean they have fruits, so it should be fine... and they got salt, or something similar. So I think I can make an ice-cream.” … What's with those eyes?
Heroes: ““DO IT!!!”” wow...
JJ: “I want something from back home!”
Girl 2: “I want sweets!”
Random Guy 2: “I want internet!” … that one is... done...
Pervert 1: “I want porn!” … seriously?
All Girls: ““EEW?!””
Pyro: “Why do you need it? There is a brothel in town... and you got a slave...”
Pervert 1: “You don't understand! It's-” and here we go... bunch of kids... or perverts... I would be much more glad if I had some regular Japanese scholars... I'm glad I have MO Ken... at least he understands the beauty of non-humans...
Pyro: “Anyway... you can go tell king about the theory, but it's just a theory. No facts.” yeah... and I am the perpetrator, but the thief is Bianca!
Sorry, but I am just an Accountant...
Yeah... right...
… working for a crime lord...
Let me tell you this... the KING and those NOBLES decided that it's their best lead... so... we got quite a lot of... searches... for those who have earth affinity... what happened to those idiots? Oh, they actually arrested some citizens... and they busted a crime syndicate, but... I guess they just new about it, but decided to ignore them, and now they are the scape goats...

There is quite interesting slave... I guess... it's... arachnid? Seriously? Arachne? And they walk her to the... let's stop them.
Pyro: “Hey guys... what species is... um... is it he or she?” funny... she's more offended to my words, then to those laughters...
Guard 1: “It's an it. Some stupid monster we found in the bandit lair.” oh... you... I will kill you later...
Guard 2: "No man it's one of those insect-kin." some other guard.
Pyro: “Okay and where do you move it?”
Guard 1: “To the Arena. It will fight for the entertainment of the citizens. And will die for the crimes against humanity.”
Pyro: “How much does it cost?”
Guard 1: “Man... why do you want it?”
Pyro: “You say it's from bandit lair, so... it's a suspect for the theft, therefore it can't be executed... yet.” will it work?
Guard 1: “What do you mean? Suspect? It's just-”
Pyro: “Arachne. They are quite good at gathering information, so it surely must have some information. If not... I need a warrior anyway.”
Guard 1: “And who are-”
Guard 2: “Dude... that is the one of those heroes... and he seems-”
Pyro: “Guys... we are going to the castle... either you come willingly or I will use crown decree.” good thing I know some of the laws... in this kingdom...
Guards: ““... SIR YES SIR!””
Pyro: “... come on... no need to be so nervous.” but now the one nervous is arachnee... does she know something?
So... I bought arachnee for 200 gold... and now...
Arachnee: “Why did you do it?”
Pyro: “What?”
Arachnee: “Rejected the slave collar or contract. There is no-”
Pyro: “There is one reason why you won't betray me.”
Arachnee: “... That is?”
Pyro: “You will help me with my goals.”
Arachnee: “And they are?”
Pyro: “... monster harem!”
Arachnee: “...”
Pyro: “Oh come on! It's funny! Besides... I like you.”
Arachnee: “...”
Pyro: “Ow... come on! Say something!”
Arachnee: “... are you for real? THIS IS NO JOKE!”
Pyro: “Yep! Those legs... that body... you are a nature born killer!”
Arachnee: “... WHAT?!”
Pyro: “It's true! See... I really want someone with specialization in assassinations, so who's better then arachnee?”
Arachnee: “... You... are crazy...”
Pyro: “Why? It's not like you are a pacifist. You are an insect-type creature... most insects are actually quite warlike, especially mantis and spider types.”
Arachnee: “... It's true, but-”
Pyro: “And you have such cute eyes...”
Arachnee: “...” why does she fidgeting?
Pyro: “Hey... are you alright?”
Arachnee: “...”
Pyro: “... so... will you work for me?”
Arachnee: “...”
Pyro: “Hah...” I transformed into the [Shadow], more like a 3D dark human shape, and got myself in Spider shape... for lover body. “Will you work for me?”
Arachnee: “?! Ancestor? Here?”
Pyro: “No. I am not your ancestor. This is what I know as [Arachnid] not some girl with arms and legs covered in chitin. I like your eyes though... pupils within pupils... so cute...” and let's change back to my original form... it's quite taxing on mana... if I had at least mana regen of at least a 100 then I could be in this form for quite some time... if I wouldn't use spells...
Arachnee: “So... you knew...” eh? What did I knew?
Pyro: “What? That true arachnee is part-monster? Yes, but what about that?”
Arachnee: “... I will become ancestor. I will bring back the glory to my clan. I-”
Pyro: “Eh? That's all? You want to protect your clan?”
Arachnee: “... What's in it for you, human?”
Pyro: “Eh... will have to call me Kuro, not human... and I want to recreate my old order. I was quite a powerful person before coming here.”
Arachnee: “... Then why-”
Pyro: “Eh... my old world is already dead, They can't teleport me there and I would like to have a bit of a vacation... Two years of doing whatever I want is quite nice... but... killing demon lord is... hard, so... I need companions... That way I can slack off a bit from my training.”
Arachnee: “... So you want an army?”
Pyro: “No! I want UNDEAD army. But for that... I need officers.”
Arachnee: “... You... You want to fight demons with undead?”
Pyro: “Or golems. Not much of a difference.”
Arachnee: “... Will you attack arachnes?”
Pyro: “What for?”
Arachnee: “... You won't?”
Pyro: “Nope... you are one of the creatures that I admire, so... it's better for us to have some sort of alliance.”
Arachnee: “... What do you want from me then?”
Pyro: “I want for you to guide me to your clan, so I can create my first base there.”
Arachnee: “Why would I agree?”
Pyro: “Because... it's either you help me, or your people will slowly go extinct. And I don't want for that to happen. I need assassins.” *creepy smile*
Arachnee: “... I will think about it.” how nice...
Pyro: “Good choice queen...”
Arachnee: “... HOW?!”
Pyro: “Oh it's easy... eyes.”
Arachnee: “?!”
Pyro: “You have ten pupils... you are good at masking them though.”

The Dog with a Chair
As of now, this story is dropped. It was an excellent learning experience, but the quality suffered too much from me trying new things for me to continue in good concience. Thanks to anyone that read it. I'm leaving this story up as a record of my first ever attempt at publishing something I've wrote. To any new writers out there, remember that even if the stuff you write is trash, you can still learn a lot from writing it. - November 17th 2020 Guy gets involved in advocacy for civil engineering projects, then gets pulled into an interdimensional war. Third person with a focus on one main character (Stanley) with the occasional point of view from another character important to story progression. Writing style tends to shift early on as I figure out how to write (this is my first book). Still learning, hoping to improve. Current style choice is to have a focus on character dialogue/actions with interspersed internal monologue in italics. No current end is set for the story, with the primary goal of this project being to learn to express myself in a written format. Storyline is kept as consistent as practical while covering things I find interesting. Governmental systems are mentioned, but not explained in extreme detail. Sci fi elements are used to reinforce and guide plot progression as I'm able. Personal goals belonging to each character are in the process of being developed, with the hope that they will support or oppose each other in interesting ways later on. Hope you enjoy :)
