《Rise of the Henchman》Chapter 24: Getting to Know Rocinante
Advertisement
After being informed of the upcoming exercise by Seel, I just continued doing miscellaneous jobs. The day I finally met Rocinante quickly arrived. I am rather anxious in meeting her since she is in the blacklist courses she could be psycho. While drowning in my worry, I am summoned by Seel. Seel is sporting shoulder length pink hair, which makes her lavender colored eyes shine. I also notice a woman standing next to her. She is a tall Latina, with long black hair, auburn colored eyes, and long legs as well as a sleek body.
“This is Rocinante, please introduce yourselves.” Seel gestures with her hand towards the woman next to her.
“Hello, I am Ash.”
“Rocinante, pleasure to meet your acquaintance.”
She has a slightly husky voice that exudes seduction. I involuntarily take a step towards her. For some reason I get the need to throw myself at her. Wait, dammit, she must have a seduction related ability. Thankfully I can resist it to an extent because of the training from Jason but for me to be affected so easily I need to be careful.
“With the greetings out of the way, it’s time to prepare~. Remember you two, you need to work together and even if you figure out all of the plants, if you don’t have your act together then... punishment time~.”
With that me and Rocinante head to my normal work area and start to map out our plan. We decided that our names will be Nick and Sarita Murray. We’ve been married for a little over a year and our jobs are that I’m a dotcom millionaire and she is a designer. We then give Seel the info so that everything fits when we enter.
Finishing the backstory, we start talking about ourselves.
“Let’s see, I joined because I don’t have a list of opportunities and I felt this was a good source of money.” Ash.

“For me, I needed some excitement and I found the heroes were way too be boring.”
“I am not that great with getting to know people, so is their anything you want to know?”
“Can you fight?’
“To an extent yes, why?”
“I need to stretch, so let's spare.”
“Right~, I guess we can spare in the garden. I will lead the way.”
With that we enter the garden where she proceeded to decimate me. Seriously, what’s with me and battle nuts!?
