The Guild Master of Demon Hunters that the Empire is Obsessed With

71 – Cat Thieves (9)

Warm and friendly words.

The moment I listen to it, I feel at ease and my worries disappear… It’s so familiar, something I’ve been anxiously searching for for years…

I have never forgotten it for a single moment, I miss it even in my dreams…

Oh, no way.

Lucene snorted and looked away from Leonard.

That doesn’t make sense.

Leonard is a seasoned demon hunter with a long history.

And it was several years ago that the Holy See guided Lucene.

It doesn’t make sense to work as a demon hunter and even serve as the constellation of Lucene.

And above all, constellations are not humans.

I’m not sure, but I assume it’s some kind of divine or spiritual being.

But Leonard being a constellation is crazy.

It’s just that Leonard has a very kind and gentle personality like a constellation, so I felt the same way.

That’s it.

“Hey. Is there anything else I can investigate? I just woke up and am quite nervous.”

Lucene smiled and stood up halfway from her chair, her huge breasts bouncing in proportion to her size.

Because of her majestic physique of her, it almost feels like a shadow is casting her.

The investigators, surprised to hear that her nerves were tense, quickly shook their heads.

“No, no. I’ve checked everything, so please go back.”

Lucene patted Leonard on the shoulder a couple of times and left the counseling room.

Lucene, who immediately went up to this floor, entered the room and threw herself on the bed.

The bed made a strange noise and sank slightly under Lucene’s heavy body

‘Good job, Lucene.’

Lucene smiled bitterly and placed her forearm on her forehead.

The Holy See always praised me like that.

It was because of that praise that Lucene left home to follow the Constellation.

Lucene, who wanted to become an adventurer but was destined to rot her whole life in the family leather shoe workshop due to her family’s opposition to her, suddenly heard a strange voice one day.

‘Lucene. I will make you the best warrior.’

Lucene, as if fascinated by that sweet voice, packed her bags and ran away from home.

What started out as nothing was a rusty sword and old leather armor that was falling apart.

The only money I had was three small copper coins.

You can become the best warrior with just this?

Although he was skeptical, the will of his voice her was firm.

‘You can do it. ‘Believe in your potential.’

Lucene has always been mistreated.

A leather shoe manufacturing workshop that has been passed down since the time of my great-grandfather.

Lucene’s family all worked in the workshop, and they were all quiet, reticent, and composed.

Meanwhile, Lucene stood out in particular, so how much oppression must she have endured to kill her personality.

A woman should be like this, being an adventurer is not something you can do, for our family it is best to work in a workshop, and rather than being greedy, we should be satisfied with a stable reality and this and that.

In such a situation, the Constellation was the first to encourage Lucene that she had hidden abilities and that she would definitely succeed.

So, Lucene decided to hit it first.

The Constellation was kind and trustworthy, and with his vast knowledge, he always guided Lucene on the right path.

Well done, good, you are the best, keep it like this always, great.

With the encouragement and praise of the Constellation, Lucene quickly became stronger.

Her slender body became stronger day by day, and her armament continued to develop.

Additionally, he was given all kinds of skills and abilities and found secret places and artifacts hidden somewhere in the world.

That’s how Lucene became the continent’s strongest warrior.

The constellation taught Lucene how to make a necklace called Acid of Destruction.

It is the only recipe that no one in the world knows, only the Constellation.

After gathering various rare materials under the guidance of the Constellation and going through several complicated procedures, Lucene was able to obtain the shredding acid.

“Look at this! It’s real fracking acid!”

There is no response from the constellation to Lucene’s excited words

I knew you could do it! Lucene, who had expected the same praise, was seriously embarrassed.

“Constellation? I have completed the Crushing Mountain.”

As expected, silence.

“Constellation?”

Lucene, who was looking for the constellation, realized something.

The constellation has disappeared.

During that time, he could tell with his sharply honed senses as a beast.

That’s how Lucene became alone.

“Fuck…”

Lucene cursed softly and covered her eyes with her forearm.

It’s always been that way, but right now I especially miss the constellations.

Where are you and what are you doing…

* * * * *

“Ornette. Hey, Ornette.”

Ornette, who had been dazed, suddenly raised her head.

“Why?”

“What are you thinking? I’m not even eating.”

Breakfast time.

Ornette didn’t even lift her spoon and just kept looking down at the table.

“No, nothing. I was thinking about what to do with the request today.”

“Really? But you still have to eat. You have to eat lunch outside today, but aren’t you going to starve again?”

Ornette can’t eat alone.

Last time, I received a fairly large request, so I came back to the guild late at night, and I starved all day.

When I asked him why he did that, he said he wasn’t hungry.

But when they actually made me a late dinner, I ate a lot.

That clearly means I can’t eat alone.

“Hmm.”

Lucene, who was quick-witted, smiled and opened her mouth.

“Would you like me to visit you later for lunch and be your friend?”

“I hate you.”

Ornette flatly rejected it.

“Ornette. You can’t talk to a guild member like that.”

Leana, who was watching next to her, joined in and pointed to Ornette’s her hair her tie her.

“Luce, you even bought her a hair tie. Did you say thank you?”

When Ornette didn’t say anything, Leana spoke somewhat sternly.

“Say thank you quickly.”

“It’s okay, guild leader. You came out with your hair tied up neatly like that. That’s my way of saying thank you.”

Lucene tried to laugh it off, but Leana didn’t.

“You can’t do that, Ornette. If you receive a gift, you should express your gratitude.”

Then Ornette nervously untied his hair and laid it down on the table.

“Oh.” “Hi?!”

Lucene curled her lips and smiled, and Celestine covered her mouth and looked at Leana.

Why did he suddenly become so grumpy again? At least a period.

Sometimes it’s calm and quiet, but other times it’s so damned.

“Ornette. “What are you doing?”

At Leana’s threat to her, Ornet jumped up from her chair.

“I’m going to go make a request. It’s late.”

Leana, who saw Ornette striding across the living room, turned her gaze to me.

It seemed like she was telling me to do something, but she shrugged, wondering what she could do.

Poor Celestine couldn’t even chew the food in her mouth and just rolled her eyes and watched Leana.

Ornette, who was about to open the door and go out, hesitated and took a step back.

When I wondered why, I saw that Patrick of the Dremont Trading Company was standing in front of the door.

“Huh? Mr. Patrick?”

“Hello, Mr. Leonard.”

As Ornette stepped aside, Patrick entered the guild and greeted him.

Meanwhile, Ornette passed by Patrick and went outside.

“What are you doing here?”

“I came to borrow something.” Oh, you were eating?”

“If you haven’t eaten, let’s eat together.”

“No, no. I’ll just borrow something.”

Patrick shook his head with a kind smile.”What do you need?”

“Can you tell if one of the elixirs you have is one that burns well?”

“Huh? An elixir…? There is one…”

There is a little bit of the elixir left that I used to burn the corpses of Tenevre guild members last time.

But why does Patrick need that?

“Please come this way.”

Patrick said as we entered the guild leader’s room.

“It seemed like it was quite noisy last night.”

“Ahaha, yes. Tenevre guild members came to retaliate. Fortunately, it was handled well.”

“We also came from Tenèvre, so it was a bit difficult.”

I was just picking up the elixir when I looked back at Patrick in surprise.

“Are you saying that Tenevre guild members went to the boss?”

“Three people came. Since they targeted us and were attacked while carrying out a request, I guess they were curious about who we had hired to carry out the counterattack.”

“So?”

But Patrick just laughed and did not reply.

I was able to get a glimpse of it there.

Those three are dead.

Patrick came to me to ask for an elixir to dispose of the body.

Wait a minute, but three people?

Then, if you substitute what Leana calculated, it means that there is currently only one survivor of Tenèvre.

That one person was the only one who escaped from the scene last night.

Seup, this is difficult.

I tried to claim compensation, but if I was left alone, there was a very high chance that I wouldn’t be able to get it…

Wait a minute!

“Was there a woman among those three?”

“Women? No. They were all men.”

Leana clearly said that the Tenevre guild leader was a woman.

Six people died by Lucene outside the city, three people died by Patrick, and thirteen people died in front of the guild.

Of the twenty-four guild members, all twenty-three who died were men.

In the end, the one person who ran away last night was the guild leader.

If so, there is still hope.

I need to find that guild leader and file a claim for damages.

Good. We track down that female guild leader!

* * * * *

At that time, outside the guild leader’s office, Ornette was crouching under the window and eavesdropping on the conversation between the office manager and the branch manager of the trading company.

Ornette, who delved into the mind of the office manager, realized that the office manager had a very strong desire to find the head of the Tenevre guild.

The head of the Tenevre guild.

Since the defensive magic had already failed and Leana had just scolded her for being rude, Ornette needed something to change the game in a big way.

So he decided to find the guild leader himself.

If I capture the guild leader, I can restore the manager’s trust in me.

At that time, the office manager’s voice was heard.

“Mr. Patrick, I don’t know if you know, but I’m thinking of filing a claim for damages from the Tenevre Guild. To do so, I need to know the whereabouts of the guild leader. I think the one who ran away yesterday is the guild leader.”

“Oh, I see. I guess I’ll have to find it to get the money.”

“But I have no idea where to look for him. Unless he’s an idiot, I don’t think he would have returned to his guild.”

“I see.”

“The Border Guard will definitely issue a wanted order, but I wonder how the head of the Assassin’s Guild could be caught so easily.”

“If that’s the case, I can give you some information.”

At the branch leader’s words, Ornet slightly raised his upper body and listened.

“The leader of the Dreffener guild here in Schle is the biological sister of the leader of the Tenevre guild.”

“Huh?! Is that really?!”

The office manager was surprised and raised his voice.

After hearing those words, Ornette immediately got up and started running down the alley.
