Chapter-25:An Assassin
A/n: Chapter is too gory for simps. And this chapter might feel somewhat cringe
3rd POV
Underworld- A place where the devils reside.
The underworld and the human world....Legend has it that these worlds are connected.
"Did you call me, master Asmodeus?" Asked a young girl with an innocent and clumsy demeanor.
"Yes I did, " Asmodeus told her.
"Here, Flora, have a look. The flowers are in full bloom. What do you think of them" Asmodeus told her, expecting a disgusted expression from her.
"How beautiful! '' She replied fawning at those flowers.
"....." Asmodeus is silenced by her response.
" *Giggles* I just love these flowers " She cheerfully replied to Asmodeus. Asmodeus has an indifferent expression on his face.
"They are simple, yet so bright and lively.... " She replied enthusiastically.
"I want to be like these flowers... " She replied to him.
"Flora, listen carefully to what I have to say " Asmodeus told her.
"Yes? " She replied to him.
"As one of the satan, I have orders for you. Devil Trainee Flora. " Asmodeus replied to her.
"Go to the Demon Lord's Castle and assassinate the Biblical god " Asmodeus issued the order.
"Huh? " Flora replied her mind blocking at the word 'kill'
3rd POV
"Well, I am here at the Demon Lord's Castle. " Flora talked to herself.
"....I still wonder why the maou picked me, though " She said.
"Master Beelzebub would have been a better choice, " She told herself.
"Not only that, but an assassination...What's the Satan thinking? " Flora replied to herself.
"ASMODEUS!,Asmodeus are you there? " Beelzebub called Asmodeus impatientially.
"Why all the ruckus, Beelzebub? You are disturbing my break " Asmodeus replied, disheartened by his break being interrupted.
"Who cares about a break.....I have an important question! " Beelzebub told him.
"Is it true that you sent Flora to assassinate the biblical god?" Beelzebub asked him.
"Yes it is true " Asmodeus replied with a monotone expression completely lacking any concern for Flora.
"Biblical god is the ruler of those naive and weak-hearted angels! " Beelzebub told him.
"If you want him, I would be the better choice for the mission. It would make more sense if either I or you were to go " Beelzebub ranted.
"Instead you picked up the devil trash Flora...." Beelzebub replied with disgust.
"You think too highly of her! " Beelzebub replied with a disdain in his voice
"I am very aggravated by this! " Beelzebub replied.
It seems the discussion of the debate is not about Flora's life being in danger, rather it's about Beelzebub feeling insulted and jealous at trainee Flora for getting the mission.
"....That is exactly why you are not fit for the task " Asmodeus replied calmly.
Asmodeus POV
My plan is that Flora will fail this mission. My weak-hearted and naive father will accept her kind-hearted nature and attempt to purify her. While I use her as an active tracker and kill him when he is vulnerable. It's not like a trainee class is worth enough for us to consider the outcome of the assassination. Sometimes we have to fail in order to succeed. My genius is truly unimaginable. If only our father is dead, we can finally rule the world with no threats.
All this, due to our foolish old man. Besides this is something which only Flora can accomplish. A fitting pawn
< Meanwhile at Demon Lord's castle>
3rd POV
I am sure Flora has a very important task from the Satan lord. I am sure she is very careful and is silently crawling into her enemy base.
"Whoosh " Flora create a sound effect while skidding inside the castle.
Or not. Apparently she might have released the sound by accident. She will now attempt proper assanation skills.
"Nin nin nin! " Flora replied while jumping away from the hallways.
The guards are too tired from partying all night or they are not paid enough, so they didn't bother to check the sounds. The guards are as useful as an introvert dog left for surveillance.
"Wump!!! " Flora said while directly jumping into the living quarters.
"Phew... Looks like I made it in without being seen. " Flora said enthusiastically, pumping up her fist in joy.
All the credits go to guards as they are more interested in something else other than being a night watchman.
"What do they call those guys in the human world? Oh yes.... " Ninjas".... I always wanted to be one " She said.
"Maybe I have potential. Nin Nin " She replied loudly.
".....But still. Is it alright for me to be doing this? " Flora raised a question.
"The demons say all angels are evil, but are they really? " She has a question in her tiny dense mind.
"It isn't fair to judge someone based on rumors alone. " She replied to herself.
"Even if it is Satan's orders. I don;t feel right assassinating someone I don't know " She said.
"....Does that mean it's alright to assassinate somebody I do know? That seems wrong, too. " She said.
"Can't kill strangers....Hmm, can't kill friends either.....which means.....ohhhh... " She said losing her mind, scratching her head.
Kenta meanwhile had enough of a girl talking to herself and intervened. He completely read her carefully before he approached her. He had waited enough prepared expecting her to attack
"Who are you in your room, and why are you beside my room talking to yourself? '' Kenta replied to her while maintaining distance.
'KYAAAAAAAAAAH!! " She screamed loudly and attempted to slap him.
Kenta flicked her face before the fist could move in his direction. He made sure he didn't kill her as he wanted to gather more information before finishing her. Flora got up for a while after being sent away flying. She approached him with an apology.
"What was that? " Kenta asked her.
"Oh, I am sorry. You scared me, so I accidentally... " She replied with a comical expression.
Flora POV
Angels are always so young. He is so young and pretty handsome. Looks like a young noble out of the CEO books I have read.
3rd POV
"So, who are you? And you still have not answered my question " Kenta told her.
"Me? " She replied confused.
"Nice to meet you. I am an assassin. " She replied enthusiastically.
Kenta is definitely not expecting the response.
