The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

"Ha, what bad luck..."

Sometimes, Number One would wonder why he had to do these dangerous and unrewarding things?

She is not the kind of woman who can be defined as a "beauty" - although her face is actually quite good-looking, if one has to make a serious assessment, her looks can only be considered slightly better than "average".

The eyes seem a little small, the nose seems a little flat, the shape of the mouth is not particularly perfect, and there are freckles and scars that can never be removed... Such a face will only be called "beautiful" when it is complimented.

If you look at her figure, she is even less competitive... The upper and lower parts that should be supported by fat look a little shriveled, and only the upper arms and thighs that have been well-trained are still slightly attractive, but only slightly.

However, it is precisely because she has an appearance that no one would even take a second look at her if she stood on the street that she has gained a huge advantage in intelligence work.

"I also want to... live a normal life."

After graduating from military school at the age of 20, No. 1 went straight into the intelligence department directly under the royal family.

The main task of her department was to investigate and monitor the movements of the nobility - but after working in this position for nearly a decade, she was punished for the attack on the princess and was eventually demoted to the princess's personal guard.

Although she was suddenly far away from the core of power of the empire, she was nearly 30 years old at that time and was still valued and became the princess's intelligence chief.

In the years that followed, she did make many unknown contributions to the princess - she thwarted nearly thirty assassination attempts against the princess, and prevented countless other conspiracies.

So when the princess decided to come to Aarons, she also reported all the information about the young marquis's son as quickly as possible.

This also allowed the two to successfully establish a solid connection.

……

"…Tsk, have you finished your cigarette?"

Aarons Moti was indeed a good young man. Although he seemed a little dull and incompetent in his early years, he immediately showed his abilities to everyone after the death of Marquis Moti's family.

Since the aristocratic system of the empire is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, among those who follow Aarons, many women actually hold the idea of ​​"hoping to become a concubine if possible"... and the princess actually talked about this matter specifically with No. 1.

If she has the same idea about this, the princess will add her to the ranks of personal maids, so that she can climb into Aarons' bed with good reason and get a chance to change her identity.

But No. 1 firmly rejected the proposal at that time.

"Your Highness, I appreciate your kindness, but regardless of whether my appearance suits the Marquis's taste, I am already nearly 40 years old... I don't think it's possible for me to stay young forever like Earl Jiangyue."

"Although the Marquis has so many women around him, he actually cares about this matter very much... You know that according to the imperial law, he actually has the right to ask his followers or the maids you brought to sleep with him, but he has never done so."

"Also, although everyone admires the Marquis, he actually, um...actually, doesn't quite suit my taste. You asked me what kind of man I like? Sorry, I'll keep this a secret for now."

After that, no one mentioned it again.

……

Number One, whose consciousness was beginning to become a little fuzzy, thought briefly about his past.

Most of his life was occupied by a job that could kill him at any time, and he didn't get the encounters and life that ordinary people should have. Now that he is at an age that can no longer be called young, he is still gambling his life for meaningless things.

——After all, what does the Third Prince's matter have to do with her? She is just an ordinary person with no special abilities, why should she risk her life for such a troublesome matter?

"Ha... I didn't bring enough hemostatic agents."

Aarons and Klia - those two people clearly have the power to ravage and dominate this country, but they still want to restore this broken empire to its most ideal state.

——That kind of thing is really nothing to powerful people, but you should also consider the feelings of ordinary people like us! We are willing to risk our lives to play this kind of house game with you!

"Oh, I'm actually a little sleepy... Sorry for the trouble."

Holding his side which was still bleeding, Number One dragged his wounded body and moved carefully in the shadows.

But what she thought of at this time were some insignificant little things——

In fact, her strength is only level four. As a fighting spirit warrior, this level is not very respected.

And the fighting style that No. 1 is good at is assassination... Only those whose strength is not stable will choose this fighting style.

So the simple conclusion is that she is a weak person.

——Do the weak have any value in this world? I don't think so.

……

His breathing had become much weaker, and his clothes seemed to be soaked by blood, but No. 1 still insisted on recalling and thinking.

Do you have any wishes that you want to realize?

In fact, I really yearn for the life of ordinary people - working hard for small goals, and then achieving insignificant success, repeating this cycle over and over again, and finally reaching the end of life.

——Is there anything wrong with this? Not everyone wants to live an eventful life... It's understandable that a child doesn't know how much power he has, but how can someone who has lived for more than 30 years not understand this?

...Besides, I'm just a woman.

"Ah... I have to take this information back..."

Since I am a woman, of course I will imagine my ideal man in my dreams - but no matter how hard I try, I can't put Aarons in it.

Apart from the fact that she didn't really like that kind of personality, Aarons gave her the feeling of being more like a junior who needed protection.

——I think what I like is a man who is more courageous and bold...the kind of man who can bear a lot but still keep smiling, and who will always say that the work is troublesome but will definitely do his best in the end.

...Unfortunately, Aarons is not that type of man.

The freezing cold wind had numbed my limbs, and the scene before my eyes began to become blurry.

——It seems like he lost too much blood? Ah, what bad luck.

=====

Number One had actually just barely escaped from the gates of hell.

In order to find the exact whereabouts of the third prince, she left the Dark Wing Team and started to act alone - and in the previous investigation, she had confirmed that Duke Oufei was hiding somewhere and carrying out some secret plan.

In order to avoid triggering Duke Oufei's overreaction and putting the Third Prince's life in danger, No. 1 even cut off contact with Dark Wing when sneaking into the enemy's base camp.

But when she carefully entered this secret base hidden in the snow-capped mountains, all her preparations for it became in vain.

——Because she saw the truth.

"Someone has sneaked in! Catch him! Don't let him escape from here!"

Spiritual weapons and pills that seemed to be burning were constantly being manufactured on large production lines, and humans who were injected with mysterious substances in isolation rooms and whose bodies swelled and turned into monsters while screaming...

[This is where the chaos starts. ]

By the time Number One realized what these things meant, she had already triggered the magic alarm and was being hunted down by the highly vigilant elite guards.

"There are so many people... I miscalculated."

No matter how good he was at stealth operations, it was impossible for Number One to completely avoid the highly alert pursuers in enemy territory.

Bullets from the spiritual musket kept piercing her body, tearing apart the only fighting spirit that could protect her, leaving bleeding holes in her body or cutting wounds deep enough to see the bone.

But she still risked her life to rush out of the base, and cleverly shook off the pursuers in the endless snowfield... Of course, maybe the pursuers just thought that she couldn't go far with her seriously injured body.

And now, she is indeed reaching her limit.

=====

"The communicator is actually...broken."

When No. 1 was hit by a stray bullet, the communicator she was carrying unfortunately broke into pieces - so now she has no way to contact Dark Wing, nor can she call for support from White Bird.

Due to severe blood loss, her steps had begun to stagger... but with a strong will that came from nowhere, she still struggled forward on the snowfield.

——But what’s the point of going on?

Since Duke Oufei's base was built in a deserted place, there is no village at all on this snowy plain.

"…What a great job I got, idiot."

After a moment of dizziness, Number One smiled self-deprecatingly.

In fact, she had known for a long time that she could not get out of the snowy field...but the will to survive and an inexplicable obsession in her body made her never stop.

After all those memories flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope, Number One's consciousness finally couldn't hold on any longer.

She saw heavy snow sweeping towards her. The icy wind made her body quickly lose consciousness, and even the blood that kept flowing out of the wound seemed to be frozen.

——I think I’m almost dying.

"Tsk... Heh... If there is an afterlife... I don't want to do this kind of work anymore..."

"Oh, there is actually a poor lady here, how rare..."

In a trance, No. 1 suddenly heard a sound that made his scalp tingle.

It was impossible to tell whether the voice was male or female, but the tone was so frivolous that it seemed to be mocking something, which instantly made No. 1, who was already feeling drowsy, regain a bit of sobriety.

It was only then that she finally realized that there was a strange man wearing a peculiar mask and strange long clothes in front of her.

——Where did the other party run from?

"What a pity, what a pity! Weak humans have no control over their own destiny and can only drift with the tide of fate... How ridiculous."

"who are you?"

"Ah, you don't have to worry about that. After all, I'm just a passerby. I've met many interesting people and seen many interesting things in this country... and you should be the last person I want to see here."

——Is there something wrong with this guy’s brain?

A hint of mockery emerged from Number One's already cloudy brain, but then her thoughts were forcibly interrupted.

Because the mysterious man had walked in front of her without her noticing, stretched out his left hand to grab her neck, and pulled her body off the ground.

"Poor, ridiculous ordinary people, no matter how hard you try, you can't change your fate. So I decided to be kind and send your soul back to the sea of ​​stars in advance."

"Uh... ah..."

No matter how she tried to mobilize her fighting spirit, Number One could not escape the hand that was strangling her throat... Her life was nearing the end, and there was no strength left in her body for her to use.

"Oh, I'm not really that kind. It was Moro Ofei who specifically asked me to help him get rid of the little mouse that was spying on the secrets before leaving the empire, so I came here."

After stating his reasons, the mysterious weirdo slowly stretched out his right hand and placed it on No. 1's lower abdomen.

"Why would I agree to do this? Well, maybe because I'm a brave man who always responds to requests."

Then, a golden light shot out from the palms of the mysterious man's hands, and finally condensed into a shape like a sword of light.

…and the two lightsabers pierced No. 1’s neck and lower abdomen at the same time.

"…Poor ordinary people, why do you have to struggle in this world?"

As these somewhat mocking words came out of the mouth of the mysterious man who called himself a hero, he finally let go of his hands.

=====

When the lightsaber disappeared quietly, No. 1's body was thrown onto the snow like a piece of rag.

The broken internal organs surged up along with the blood, and then continued to come out from the wound in the throat - the fracture of the cervical vertebrae and spine made all the nerves in the body unresponsive.

Even though the fighting spirit warrior's vitality was much stronger than that of ordinary people and she didn't die immediately, such a fatal injury would definitely not be repairable.

——She is going to die soon.

That mysterious weirdo disappeared after abandoning her... No, it doesn't matter whether he disappeared or not.

The pain of having his throat cut and his internal organs torn apart could no longer be transmitted to his brain through the broken spine...but this also gave Number One a little time to think.

...But rather than saying it's thinking, it's better to say that it's just some of the last inexplicable and scattered emotions before a person dies.

"After all, why am I doing this?"

Ordinary people will never know the meaning of their lives in their entire lives.

What you have done will not have any impact on the world, your wishes will not be perfectly fulfilled, and the person you love may not necessarily be destined to be with you.

As for myself, whose name is almost forgotten, even such thoughts are almost faded away.

"Oh, by the way, I think I really liked The Legend of the Brave when I was a kid."

Thousands of years ago, a brave man single-handedly defeated the demon invaders from another world and saved the humans of this world.

Maybe I just want to be that kind of person, which is why I have been working hard until now.

But I'm just an ordinary person...how could I possibly do something like that?

"But even without this information, the princess and the marquis should be able to defeat all enemies and fulfill their wishes."

Those are the ones who have the power to change their fate, so as long as they are still fighting, the ending of the story will definitely be happy.

...Unfortunately, I can't see the last scene.

"I'm sleepy. It's time to have a good sleep..."

This sleep... I probably won't wake up again, right?

If I think about it carefully, I am indeed a pitiful and ridiculous person... How much meaning do these decades of life have?

…Forget it, just sleep peacefully now.

If there is an afterlife, I will never do these messy jobs again.

"Ha, I actually really want to meet that hero... and ask him why... he didn't come to save me at this time."

——And this is the last moment of the life of an ordinary woman who has no outstanding qualities and no lingering feelings or reluctance.

[Dark Wing No. 1 "Name Unknown", died while performing the mission.]

■■■■■

"...Tsk tsk, it seems we didn't catch up, that guy ran really fast."

"But this does leave something very interesting behind. Hmm... It's a wonderful hymn to humans who have completed their lives without any regrets."

"After all, this is how tiny humans pass on all kinds of possibilities step by step into the future."

——The words that came from the turbidity were like the echo of the abyss, causing the gray world to tremble.

"So we have to pass on the possibility as well."

"Well, do you have time to learn about our Master, the hero, Father and Savior who mediates the dawn of the world?"

"Ahahaha, since there's no answer, let's just take this silent silence as approval!"

——It was not the devil's whisper that tempted people to fall, nor was it a prayer for happiness.

"Then listen to the prayer you personally gave me in the name of the '■■■' who blessed us—"

"When the correct things are re-edited, when the lost concepts are re-constructed, the broken souls and destinies will continue again in the boundless black abyss—"

“‘So, let’s become an eternal night that matches the morning light.’”

——Thus, the sweet nightmare that could never be escaped began all over again.

"—Happy birthday, sister."
