A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

After listening to the girl's confession, which was not really a confession, Beatrice also fell into a brief period of contemplation.

After a moment, she said:

"In fact, I've seen situations like yours before... often among veterans."

"The vast majority of them are survivors of the war. Because they survived, they always feel that they are lucky enough to survive and are burdened with faults..."

"I'm sorry, but with my experience, I can't empathize with you...but there is one thing I must tell you..."

“No matter what hardships you have gone through in the past, and how many expectations of the deceased you carry… I hope you can persevere… not just carry these unbearable burdens, but live for yourself.”

"You are willing to live 'for' others, which is a noble act. I can also feel what the people you mentioned mean to you... In this case, they would never want to see you depressed..."

“We may not be able to decide our own origins, or even change our own destiny... But even though we know the world is cruel, you and I are still willing to do our best and struggle to survive. This is the most precious thing in this era, right?”

The saint's gentle words, in this cold winter, were like a firefly, illuminating the girl's half-dead heart.

Over the years, apart from my mother, there has never been anyone who would listen so patiently and give me guidance from their heart.

The girl who was enslaved together with her, the boy whose body was nowhere to be found, the leader of the Thieves Guild...they might be good listeners, but for the young girl, they are just drinking poison to quench her thirst.

Until today, I finally met a stranger, whose soft voice breathed new life into this heart.

Only by living for yourself can we live up to the dead...

"Well, thank you."

A short sentence, full of longing for the future and sincere gratitude to the stranger just across the window.

"This is what I should do."

"...By the way, if you want, you can come here for anything in the future. I'm always here."

After hesitating for a second, Beatrice added.

But who knew that the other party's answer revealed a certain firmness:

"Thank you for your kindness, but I also said that I am not a believer. Besides, with my identity, I am afraid I will not have the chance to come back in the future..."

"Let's say goodbye here...Lady Saint."

“May you bring this hope to more people in this cruel world.”

......

The cold wind from the north feels like a blade scraping against your body.

Walking out of the cathedral, Moon exhaled a breath of white air, which quickly turned into ice and fell to the ground.

What a cold day...

But my heart is very warm.

"Hey, that guy over there...wait a minute."

Just as I was sighing, the voice of the guard came from behind me.

Moon knew it was time to leave.

Get into the crowded crowd, go upstream, and then turn into a dim alley.

Moon has repeated this route countless times since he came to the Thieves Guild.

It must be said that the Thieves Guild's thousands of years of rooting in Reker City were not in vain. It was only after Pele's hands-on teaching that Moon realized that every sewer manhole in the city was connected to the guild's lifeline.

If you master the location of every passage, you will never again find yourself in the embarrassing situation of being chased to a dead end.

Follow the sewers all the way out of the inner city of Reker and arrive at the outer city.

Due to the weather, the streets were deserted.

Everyone hid in houses without the protection of walls, shivering.

When the outer city was first designed, no one thought there would be the predicament it is in today. After all, who can predict how the climate will change?

Turning his head to look at the street, Moon found a hand that had long been frozen and stretched out from the thick snow, and was now bent like a chicken claw.

Its owner died in the extreme cold, perhaps frozen to death, or perhaps starved to death.

When seeing it for the first time, Moon might even feel pity and stop for a long time.

But now I see one or two such scenes every day, and I have become numb to it.

This holy city will not shed a single tear for the death of outsiders.

The goddess of light has never bowed her head to observe the appearance of all living beings in the world...

So Moon has never been exposed to any faith and will never accept any faith.

In the past, she had never been favored by the gods. When she encountered those things, did the gods ever open their eyes and look at her?

......

Reker City, Adventurer's Guild.

Moon pushed the door open and walked in.

Only here can such a day be filled with the human touch and the smell of fireworks.

"Here! Sister Moon!"

Following the sound, I saw a table of adventurers, both men and women, young and old, dressed in different clothes.

When Moon saw these people, his expression didn't change. He just walked straight to the table and sat in the seat he usually sat in.

"Okay, now we're all here."

The person who just called out Moon's name was a young warrior who looked very sunny and cheerful. His name was Elliot.

"Then I'll start talking..."

Elliot cleared his throat somewhat dramatically.

"First of all, I have good news for you all."

"Our team has passed the review and has been promoted to a C-rank adventurer team!"

"..."

A silence.

"...Please, give me some reaction..."

"Oh——" (emotionless)

"Okay, okay, I know that C-level is not ranked in the Holy City, but it doesn't mean there is no reaction at all..."

Elliot slapped his forehead and shook his head.

"I'm afraid you'll be proud~"

A wizard girl said, holding back a smirk.

Runya, an excellent student from the Mage Tower, is a naughty girl, and she and Elliot are a perfect pair of funny people.

"Stop fooling around, Elliot, and get down to business."

A middle-aged knight next to him said seriously.

Leander, a wandering knight, seems to have once been a regular soldier.

"Oh, okay, big brother... ahem, we were able to reach C-rank so quickly, all thanks to sister Moon."

"Thanks to her superb reconnaissance ability and exquisite lock-picking skills, we are always one step ahead and get treasures that others can't get..."

"So, I suggest that we toast to Sister Moon first, how about that?"

"cheers!"

After everyone drank a glass of various drinks, Elliot was in high spirits. He then slapped a commission on the table and said loudly:

"Everyone, here's the next commission. Please take a look."
