Chapter 493 All I Have To Do Is Kill (VII)
Despite the ruckus that we have done on the outlaw town, it wasn't fruitless as I managed to kill the target. The problem is that someone else decided to jump on our bandwagon in hopes of defeating us.
Yes, the bunny girl from before is currently with us. No, more precisely, she forced herself to follow us by using her own grappling hook to attach herself to the Metal Claws of Leona. Currently, she has climbed up to the claws and is currently hanging her life there. I don't have the intention of letting her climb up in case she tried to attack us. It is very dangerous since we are mid-air and battle mid-air might have some consequences and because I don't have a [Flight] skill nor do the others have, it is imperative to keep ourselves safe for the time being by letting her stay there over the course of the flight.
As for our next target, I just realized that after killing the two targets, the three are currently together in a far city. I still can't pinpoint which city it was since, in that area, there are two cities that seem to create one big city despite being separate from each other. I don't have any idea which city they are but once we arrive there, I can identify where they are.
"Sir Bladeheart, are you sure we should just let that bunny girl stay there? Isn't she dangerous? Also, she tried to kill you earlier!" Gin seems to look for a reason as to why I am letting the bunny girl live rather than killing her.
"She might be trying to kill us but she is doing her job there and since we are planning to stir up trouble, she decided to intervene though we know that it still ended up in a big failure for her. There still isn't a big reason for us to get rid of her."
There is no right or wrong here but I am not so bloodthirsty that I want that NPC dead. Besides, she is powerful enough to fight against Atlas one on one. That is already quite an admirable thing since Atlas is quite strong in a fight and getting to hold his fight against you is something quite spectacular already if I say so myself. It would be great if we became allies but that is gonna be rough especially since she is trying to kill us.
"Master, I have confirmed visually two cities in the distance. It seems we are about to reach our target's location," Lucia called as we were arriving at our destination.
" Thanks, Lucia. Leona, just like usual, land in the nearest area where we can go and walk our way towards the city."
"I have been wondering this for a while but why do you land not too far from the city when you can just land your pet directly into the city? It's a lot less hassle if I say so myself," Koji commented on how I keep on landing Leona not too far from the city.
"If you want to terrorize the NPCs, sure, you can easily do that. But I don't plan to cause a big ruckus to NPCs as they are harder to reason with compared to players as they follow their rules and even if you are a player, you will have to abide on that."
"That is a thing? I didn't think this game would have serious stuff like that. Most MMOs don't have any kind of stuff similar to what you just said," Shana scratches her head. It seems it was too complicated for her.
"Well, it follows real-life principles and a bit of commonsense so it is normal that they would act like this. I mean, what if a bird similar to the size of Leona would land in the middle of Tokyo, would you guys like that? Aren't you going to panic if that happened while you were there?"
"Hmm, you do have a point. And I mean, your pet is quite big. I would also be afraid if something her size would land in Tokyo one day without warning. But isn't it a big hassle?"
"If you are quite well known already and they know that you have a pet like Leona, they would soon get used to it. It's not easy to build up a trust like that."
Leona soon landed on the ground and as we landed, the bunny girl started to get angry as now she is in a safe place.
"You heartless brute! You even left a girl stay in a very dangerous situation all this time without letting her climb up?! You sure are heartless!" the bunny girl is fuming with anger.
"Did you even think we would let you climb here if you plan to kill us? We would rather have you stay there for a lot longer than have us get killed by you,"
"GAH! What a brute! The absolute worse!"
Atlas came down first while keeping his guard up, but he didn't draw the weapon out, he just remained on guard and waited for whatever things the bunny girl is going to do. The others came down as well and I was the very last to come down.
"You sure quite persistent huh? You even ditched your own job to chase us. What more do you want though? I don't think you are righteous enough to punish us just because we made a ruckus and killed someone."
"I still can't forgive someone who does nothing and just leave after causing that much of a ruckus. It is my job to finish things once and for all."
"Ha, save it. Even if you try to kill me, you can't do that in any way and I am not just saying this as a braggart, I am stating the absolute truth here, so it's better if you just give up and go back home."
"Hmph, I am not going to just let you go after causing that much ruckus. I will make sure to at least hold you accountable for what you just did!"
And due to that, an odd bunny has been added to the group unofficially. Still, it is kind of unnerving knowing that she is there to kill you. But hey, who knows? There might be a reason why she is here other than killing us?
