A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

Reker City, winter.

This is the coldest winter on record.

The holy city, where it is spring all year round, is completely covered with snow.

It is said that the source of the cold comes from the former northern border of Dorok, now the northern border of Sindrar.

Although no one knew what exactly happened, the well-informed church received intelligence and words such as "giants", "winter", and "blizzard" spread quickly, and various "doomsday theories" were widely circulated.

More and more people come to the cathedral to pray every day.

Beatrice sat in the confessional, receiving all kinds of people who came to confess every day.

Recently, I have noticed that more and more people are coming here to pray for warmer weather.

Of course, there are many non-believers who covet the warmth of the cathedral.

The cathedral is protected by holy light and the temperature is normal, but it is only limited to the area around the church.

Although the city of Reker has a protective barrier, it has no thermal insulation effect.

After all, no one thought that such a day would come.

Having just seen off a mother who had prayed for an amulet for her child, Beatrice stretched her back and waited for the next confessor.

At the other end of the confessional, a faint sound brushed past the soundproof curtain and gently sat on the chair. For a moment, even Beatrice didn't hear it.

Until a clear girl's voice came from the other side:

"Hello, can we start?"

"Oh... sorry sorry, didn't notice you came in..."

Beatrice was startled by the sudden words and quickly adjusted her sitting posture and spoke.

"Let's get started now."

......

"Excuse me, are you a believer of Holy Light?"

Beatrice asked with the usual opening remarks.

"......no."

"Or do you have any other beliefs?"

Although the church excludes pagans and this question is purely a formality, it must be asked.

On the one hand, it can provide clergy with the right remedy, and if there is an opportunity, they can even carry out some missionary work.

On the other hand, it is also a test of the confessor's identity.

After all, if the other party is lying, the holy light of the cathedral can really detect lies...

"No, I don't have any faith."

The girl answered truthfully.

"Is that so... I understand."

He was a non-believer...

"Then, if you have anything you want to confess, you can tell me here. I swear in the name of the Goddess of Light and under the Holy Light that all the conversations that follow will be kept confidential. Please rest assured."

The repetitive conversation ended and it was the turn of the person on the other side to speak.

"I don't have anything to confess...but I heard that you can talk about your inner thoughts here, so I came here."

"That's natural. Holy Light will listen to everything and tolerate everything. You can speak freely."

Hearing that the other party was still a little restrained, Beatrice quickly added.

"..."

"I'm not actually human."

"Eh?"

Unexpectedly, the first sentence gave Beatrice a heavy blow.

In her entire life, she had never seen any race other than humans, because they were not allowed to enter the holy city.

However, the other party did not seem to notice Beatrice's abnormality and continued:

"I come from... the New World Alliance. Before I was nine years old, I lived in the forest with my mother. Later..."

Once the girl opposite started talking, it was as if she had opened a chatterbox. She wished she could pour out everything she had kept for years in one breath.

The more Beatrice listened, the more she felt that this girl's life story was really complicated.

When he was nine years old, he crossed the Sea of ​​Divine Punishment. On the way, he encountered a storm and the cargo ship capsized. Fortunately, he grabbed a wooden barrel and reached the shore safely with his mother.

Unexpectedly, he encountered slave catchers outside the city of Sesar. His mother was missing and he himself was captured and was about to be sold to Batoria as a slave.

As a result, he encountered an internal conflict among human traffickers and turned to the Talal Kingdom. He was taken in by the Azrael Chamber of Commerce and worked as a servant for two years.

Meeting a wealthy and powerful master should have been a lucky turn of events, but fate seemed unwilling to let her go...

A vampire woman kidnapped her and imprisoned her in a remote place full of dangers.

There, she had to fight for survival every day, had to remain silent all the time, and was forced to witness a separation of life and death every once in a while.

As the only innocent person in the "Land of Atonement", this experience made her defensive and taciturn. Later, the serious consequences of a failed escape plan gave her an indescribable stress disorder.

"I still remember it. The dawn of that day was bloody... The ground was also bloody. They died in front of me, no longer in human form... And I could do nothing. I just watched them being eaten bit by bit, until nothing was left..."

The girl's voice was trembling, and Beatrice could feel her palpitations even through the mesh window.

"For a long time after that, I couldn't sleep. I didn't dare to sleep... Once I fell asleep, I would dream about everything that happened that day... How I wish I didn't have the ability to dream, or the need to sleep..."

"One year... maybe two years. I can't remember exactly how long it took in the outside world. During this time, I was always under the control of that woman... She didn't care about me, nor did she kill me. All I had to do was offer her blood food regularly and accompany her to continue that ridiculous game of atonement..."

"I couldn't stand it anymore. I wanted to escape from her. I kept practicing secretly and making plans secretly...Finally, I found a way to escape, and then..."

The girl's voice choked... and she didn't continue. The story had come to an end, which was why she was able to sit here now.

"In fact, I have been wondering...why it was me...why did I have to go through all this...why after witnessing all this, I was the only one who survived..."

"Someone once told me that he lives for others...Now, I have to bear these responsibilities and live for them...But it's too heavy, I'm so tired..."

"I have tried my best, but I am still so weak... They didn't say it, but I know... I don't have any talent. The so-called revenge is just empty words. I can't kill her, and I will never be able to kill her..."

"I came here just to seek some psychological comfort. Perhaps, I won't hold on any longer..."

"If the holy light you speak of can really wash away all sins..."

"Can a weak person like me who lives with lies be forgiven?"
