Plot of the local lord(2)

After the lord finished looking through our house Hana came back to us to tell us everything she heard."It's bad Hikaru"- She whispered to me.

"What is it? What happened?"- I whispered back while covering Hidaka's mouth

"Well, from what I heard there will be patrols here so that they will see who uses the house and whatnot. They will entrust this to people from the Welcia Magic Academy"- If so, this could work in our favor.

!I might need to warn you Hikaru, the classmates that you want will likely be put on this job, you are lucky if even just 1 of them is put on guard here, they made too big of a ruckus wanting to bring the 2 of you back.!

"You are right Sia, what can we do to defend ourselves?"- When talking to Sia I always talk in my mind with her, Hana can now hear Sia as well so I don't have to explain the same thing twice to her.

"I do understand but what are we going to do now? We can't get into the house, he is still there waiting for a surprise attack"- I looked again and I can see glimpses of the lord hiding near our house to catch us off guard and surprise attack us.

!Attacking them isn't recommended in this situation Hikaru. You will cause big problems for yourself going forward if you decide to attack now rather than later. I suggest that you wait here and don't move until he leaves. It's the best suggestion that I can come up with!

"Let's wait here until they leave and then we will come back to our house"

4 hours later the lord and his minions left and the 3 of us returned to the house.

!I detect no traps, the place is safe and you can enter it without any problems, you need to be careful, from tomorrow you might see your old classmates patrolling around here.!

"I know Sia but what can we do to stop the lord, I mean I know what I got to do to stop him but how do I get away with it?!

At that moment an idea sprung to my mind, maybe I should make it look like a murder-suicide.

!You have the correct answer already. You can make potent poison with your Predator skill. I will gather the information about the lord's rival and then we can prepare to strike him down. We will arrange a meeting spot for the 2 of them and then we can kill them. But first, we need preparations to do this!

"Preparations, yeah, we might need those first, but what are those preparations you are talking about Sia?"

!I am talking about a good enough moment for you 2 to let yourselves get caught by his guards and then tell him that you can get revenge on his political rival and then tell him to give you 5 days, you will then get the needed herbs to make a potent poison that you will then put it in his rival's glass of wine and then you can make the 2 of them fight and have the rival kill him with his own 2 hands instead of getting your own hands dirty!

"Sia, that's the perfect plan!"

"Guys, wait, don't do that!"- Hana came in to talk with Sia

"Why, that's our only way to do it, Hana. If he won't let us live then he shouldn't be treated any better than what he treated us, it seems fair to me. Don't worry, you won't take part in any of these, I will be the one to make hard decisions as we already said, this is one of the harder decisions that I have to make for our sake Hana. You don't know what the lord might have in store for us if we live longer than what he expects us to."- Hana started to silently cry in front of us.

"What happened to Hana? What were you guys talking about?"- Hidaka whispered to us.

"It's better you don/t get involved, go back to the academy or the guild and tell what happened to the others and then maybe they can get stationed here instead of the others who will snitch on us, got it?"- I whispered back to Hidaka.

"Yes, understood"- Hidaka left and I remained with Hana to discuss what will happen going forward with the lord.

"I don't know Hikaru, I am pretty fearful of what will happen if we fail this. I know it's our only option but still. I don't want to kill people or someone to die"- Hana looked at me from her bed with sad eyes.

"I know Hana, but you need to know, this is the sort of world that we live in right now, there is no turning back now. The king already hates us because of our race and that's fucked up. There are more things that you need to face out here, it's a jungle, this world is medieval and does not know things such as equality and stuff that we have in our original world. You need to remember that in this world we only have ourselves and the other classmates that are willing to help us, but we can't trust the rest."

"I know Hikaru, but I still don't want anything bad to happen to anyone. I don't know what to say any more about this situation"- Hana looked at the ground.

"Well, it's no problem, I will be the one to do it so you won't get your hands dirty"

"Just be careful"

I left the cabin

"Sia, where are the poison ingredients that you want me to collect?"

!They are by that river where I extracted the Iron from, you can find plenty there!

I walked to the river as Sia suggested, I am there looking around finding all kinds of herbs and different shaped rocks that look like they have other sorts of minerals in them.

"Which one of these is the good one Sia?"- I pointed to a bunch of plants"

!The red one"- Sia guided my view towards the red flower.

*Use skill: Predator* I used predator to devour the flowers.

"Sia, can you craft the poison?"- I asked them while returning to the cabin.

! am Doing that right now, I turned the flowers into a fine powder that will kill someone in minutes without them noticing it!

"That's good, now we have to wait for some time and then get caught, after that, I make him the offer and then we enact the plan"

I returned to the cabin, Hana is sleeping already, looking at her wet pillow she had cried herself to sleep. I don't understand why she wants no one to get killed, even in Japan people died and got killed no matter what they did. Well, in our world we had laws to protect citizens, here we only have medieval anarchy that reigns supreme every day. I am already sick of this world.
