Conquering The Novel

After checking on Mika, who doesn't appear to be waking up anytime soon,

I went to Meira, accompanied by Silvia and Irethiel, to give her the promised information before leaving for the academy.

When I entered the room where Meira was being treated, I noticed she was dressed in black body-fitting attire, with two daggers hanging on either side of her waist.

She was standing in front of the room's window with her eyes closed and her hair fluttering due to the wind until she detected my appearance and turned to face me.

"Oh, she requested that outfit and daggers from me so I provided them to her, did I do anything wrong?" Silvia inquired, noticing my surprised expression.

"No, you did nothing wrong," I responded with a smile.

Meira just appears to be impatient and eager to get her hands on the prosecutor responsible for her family's murder as soon as possible.

After noticing me, Meira approached me and got down on one of her knees.

"Master!" She greeted.

"You seem eager to embark on your retribution path, huh, you didn't even get yourself treated properly," I exclaimed.

"I have been waiting for this moment my entire life, but I always felt it was just wishful thinking and I would never be able to achieve it," she clenched her teeth and paused for a moment before continuing.

"However, now that I have a road forward, I don't want to waste any time idling, in fact, I am already mostly healed," Meira responded resolutely.

"Just don't die, because you're my property from now on, and I don't want anything to happen to something I own," I said, lifting her head by her chin.

"I shall not die until I have exacted my revenge and returned the favor I owe you with my own life.," Meira said with passion in her eyes as our gazes met.

When I saw her resolute expression, a large grin emerged on my face.

"She's now just like a broken doll with only one goal in life," Irethiel remarked telepathically witnessing Meira's conviction.

"All right then, take this," I reacted, handing her the small piece of paper.

"T-this, no way," Meira's expression became somber, and then distorted with hatred as she read what was written on that small piece of paper.

"I can't say who it was exactly, but I think you got the essence of who it was, right?" I said.

"Yeah, this is more than enough; I'm going to make them pay for everything they've had me go through my entire life," Meira declared.

"Huh? Why isn't she questioning the authenticity of the information? What if you gave her false information because you already had her as a slave?" Irethiel was perplexed and questioned telepathically.

"Pftt, you're too naive for a demon; I don't know how you lasted all those thousand years," I controlled my laughter and remarked, hearing Irethiel's puzzled tone.

"Because it doesn't matter if my information is true or not, because she will eventually find out when she pays them a visit, and what do you think she will do if she finds out that my information was incorrect?" I inquired of Irethiel.

"Of course, she'll never believe you again, even though she'll still have to follow your orders," Irethiel stated.

"She will still follow me, but when the opportunity arises, she will betray me, Because a relationship that begins with falsehood is doomed to fail," I said and paused for a moment before continuing.

"And I want an obedient maid who would obey me without questioning my judgments, so, how do you think I can achieve it?" I inquired.

"Of course, if you honor your commitment, there will be no reason for them to betray you-" Irethiel came to a halt in her remark, recognizing something.

"Aaah, I heard you were betrayed by one of your devoted subordinates as well, so do you now know why that subordinate betrayed you?" I remarked sarcastically.

"Tsk," Hearing me, Irethiel clicked her tongue in annoyance.

I turned toward Silvia, chuckling inwardly at Irethiel, but what I saw astonished me;

I saw Silvia, who had secretly overheard my conversation with Irethiel, writing my every word as notes in a little notebook.

"...."

"O-Oh, no, they're only for reference!" Silvia stated, quickly putting the small notebook aside.

But when I read the book's Title, I was even more surprised:

...The insightful guidebook, it states.

When I saw that, I directly knew it was Aegis' doing.

"Did Aegis tell you to do that?" While smiling, I questioned Silvia.

"H-Huh, Y-Yes, she said everything the man you love does is profound," she murmured.

'Is this the so-called cultural teaching of hers?' I was thinking to myself before I heard Meira's voice,

"Master, I will be on my way then, and I will be returning to you as soon as everything is over," said Meira, after processing everything.

"Yeah sure, take care of yourself," I responded, smiling.

"T-thank you, master! you take care of yourself as well," Meira said as she walked away.

"It's finally time to return to the academy," I mumbled as I watched Meira walk away.

Everything is now in order, as Silvia's secretary has already arranged for Howkins to meet his family, whereas She will also support Howkins's Adventurer application.

"Let's get going, shall we?" I told Silvia, who had already arranged for a limousine for my travel to the warp gate.

Silvia nodded, and we headed in the direction of the vehicle before Silvia suddenly halted.

"I will come and visit you when the occasion arises, Ares, and you can ask for my assistance anytime you need it," Silvia said.

"Yeah, thank you for all your help; I will be in contact with you," I responded, smiling.

"O-Ok, you can contact me anytime you're free," Silvia said as she tugged me toward the deserted region.

"Can I?" She requested my consent.

As I nodded my head in approval, Silvia's face brightened up with her vampire teeth showing.

***

As Silvia reached toward Ares' neck to fulfill her thirst, something unexpected happened,...

Silvia's head floated through the air after being decapitated by someone, and her headless body fell into Ares' arms.

Silvia's blood was spouting everywhere, and Ares' face was covered in sputtering blood.

Ares was taken aback by what had just occurred and was unable to respond to the sudden onslaught.

"Huh?" Ares exclaimed as he awoke from his stupor.

"S-Silvia?" He stuttered while clutching Silvia's headless body.

"What the hell, I have no idea why they assigned me to assassinate some kid."

Ares's attention was drawn to a sudden voice, his eyes appeared to be in shock, as he still couldn't grasp what had just transpired and believed it was all in his imagination.

"Well, I guess I can't complain when I'm getting free money for assassinating some kid,"

In front of Ares, a figure dressed in black ninja-style clothing with his face hidden behind a mask and holding a sword declared as much.

Ares, covered in Silvia's blood, held her body tightly as his eyes welled up, then snarled angrily at the man who had just stepped in front of him.

The Assassin appears unconcerned by Ares' glare and approaches him slowly with a sword in his hand.

But then he came to an abrupt halt and shifted his sight to Silvia's lifeless beheaded head.

With a broad grin on his face, he thrust his sword into Silvia's skull and lifted it up by her hair toward himself.

"You Bastard, I'm going to kill you!!!" Ares screamed fiercely as he witness that, and soon his entire body began to radiate electricity, and he began to emit a menacing Aura.
