Chapter 202: Cute Silent Assassin

I tiredly massaged my forehead...

Mr. Ichijo pretended to be drunk at first so we could talk in confidence.

I explained to him a heroic and rose-colored version of my adventure where I was a noble hero who fought in the name of protecting the non-human races and I joined Paradise after facing a group of extremist enemies who sought to eradicate the non-human races while enslaving humans.

I was very careful to make it appear that I am a normal pawn and not a knight in direct service to Auriel.

Even though Mr. Ichijo really seems to see me as a son, there are a lot of things that don't make sense and there are secrets that he keeps keeping from me that I'm still wary of.

What I did mention was that I made a soul contract with a magical creature and now that creature lived in my soul, so I introduced Ortro in the form of her adorable little dog.

With Kon's memories, I now understand that Alaya sees deities as useful pawns and as long as a deity is willing to provide their blessing to humans, Alaya will give the deity a certain status, basically a guard dog with good food.

For now, Ortro will be my magical pet to avoid a conflict with Alaya or will be a nuisance if that stupid entity wants to use Ortro as a weapon just like in the past...

Mr. Ichijo said that this is good as a hero needs a familiar as they are reliable companions.

I don't know who ancestor Ichijo's familiar was, but Seraph said that that pervert always traveled with a little girl...

Mr. Ichijo also mentioned that it is better to report Ortro to my supervisor (System Goddess) as the Will of the World (Alaya) may give me a heavy punishment if I am found to be smuggling foreign entities.

As for smuggling magical resources, the Ichijo family will help me sell magical potions that I supposedly got from Paradise but was actually made by System Goddess and I'll keep 40% of the profits. I don't really care about the money and I'm only interested in the connections I can create with other supernatural organizations.

He also mentioned that I can keep a section of the Ichijo Residence where I can let my allies from other worlds live without drawing Alaya's attention, but on the condition that my allies must sign a contract swearing not to harm the Ichijo family or cause trouble within Gaia, they will only be able to fight in self-defense.

The Ichijo Residence is under spatial warping techniques so this place is almost the size of a town, but Raku hasn't noticed this since to access the expanded area of ​​the residence you have to find a secret passageway.

The fact that Mr. Ichijo goes to such lengths to keep his son from knowing about the supernatural world gives me a lot of guesswork that I need to check over time...

Also, that Mr. Ichijo seems to be too supportive of me bringing in entities from another world gives me a bad feeling, it's like he doesn't trust Alaya and is planning something very troublesome where I'll be involved...

For now, I can only prepare for the worst-case scenarios and use Kon's knowledge to look for opportunities.

Mr. Ichijo was originally pretending to be drunk, but all the business talk made the man frustrated so he allowed the alcohol to affect his body and after a couple of hours of drinking alcohol as if it were water, Mr. Ichijo threw up and then fell asleep.

At least he didn't sleep in his own vomit...

I made sure Mr. Ichijo was okay and used acupuncture so he doesn't have a hangover when he woke up.

Although it is possible to use magic to treat human injuries and illnesses, supernatural means are not always reliable in this world so my knowledge of medicine is one of the most useful things I have to gain benefit in this world.

My acupuncture got to the point where I can heal cancer without using supernatural abilities, this technique is ridiculously convenient...

I found out that Kanata is bad with alcohol and she fell asleep after two bottles of vodka so I sent her to my Core of Existence so she could rest.

I stood up to leave the room and call a subordinate who could take Mr. Ichijo to rest.

I looked in the hall, but all the subordinates seemed to be away to give us privacy so I had to find some idiot to clean up the mess, I'm not cleaning up my boss's vomit.

My head is a little dizzy, but I'm still relatively sane so everything will be fine… I hope so…

"Woof, rest?" – Ortro walked beside me in her small dog form.

System Goddess will help me make a report to Alaya to register Ortro as my familiar so she can travel by my side since [Mythomania] managed to change her soul essence to make her look like a magical beast.

I can even take her for a walk, although it will be a problem if she starts devouring stupid people's heads...

Familiars are common among heroes so later on I will be able to register Coco, Rushia and the other goddesses as familiars.

As for the problems that the name 'Ortro' can bring, she will use my pseudonym Kuro which made her happy since she sees this as a sign that we are best friends...

I sighed and walked. – "We cannot rest, we still have a lot to do…"

I'm drunk and I'm still thinking about work… Stupid Japanese genes.

"Woof, a treat" – Ortro opened her mouth and a black-colored human hand reached out while holding a honey-scented candy lollipop.

Since the Rasen Dimension is now Ortro's Divine Ground, she can access that space to take out items, but it was unnecessary for her to take out the stored items with such a sinister method...

I sighed and accepted the lollipop, at least she didn't leave any traces of saliva or this would be unpleasant.

Wait a minute, I don't remember saving this candy...

"Silly woman made it with the help of a bespectacled woman and a green-haired servant, woof" – Ortro explained.

Ortro has no interest in remembering names so they must be System Goddess, Shiguma, and possibly Fauna...

I wanted to sigh, but just the smell of candy was enough to ease my migraine..................…

I quickly ate the caramel and felt grateful to life for having such wonderful women in my life….

[System Notification: Damage to the user's mind has been reduced. The negative effects of the 'Reader's Madness' energy have been reduced. The skills related to the energy 'Reader's Madness' can be used more easily during a period of 72 hours]

Oh god, I love those women.

I only have one doubt. – "Why does it have to be a lollipop?"

"Noisy girl said that a lolicon should carry lollipop, woof, friend is a lolicon so friend should eat lollipop, woof" – Ortro replied.

…

ARISA!

…

I'll let it go this time...

Now I'm in a good mood and best of all, the candy didn't reduce my drunkenness...

I took out my cell phone, it's already night and tomorrow is a working day, but I know some women with whom I can meet without causing problems in their classes or jobs...

Let's see… Seiji is very flashy, so it would be better for me to be Luis if I want to go out and relax…

I found a subordinate and told him to go take care of Mr. Ichijo since he passed out from drinking too much, the subordinate sighed and went to get a mop.

It's nice to no longer be the idiot who has to clean up this kind of shit.

I went to the entrance of the residence, but before leaving I met someone unexpected.

"Shouldn't you be together with Lin Ruoxi?" – I frowned at Xiao Bai.

(Author's Note: Lin Ruoxi from My Wife is a Beautiful CEO)

(Author's Note: Xiao Bai from My Beautiful Teacher)

Xiao Bai had an expressionless face. – "She asked me for a moment of privacy to talk with her friend after she was brought by the subordinates of the Ichijo family"

"And you thought it was a good idea to leave…" - I sighed in frustration. – "Your job is not to take care of her privacy, your job is to protect her"

Xiao Bai remained expressionless as I sighed and looked at Ortro. – "Accompany Lin Ruoxi"

Ortro looked at me silently without moving.

I sighed. – "Later I will spend two hours stroking your head"

Ortro nodded many times and went to where my troublesome wife was.

Now that Ortro can ignore distances, she can move to my location in less than a second no matter if she's in another world, although the limitation is that I'll need to use [Rasen] and my drill stand to let her pass in case that a powerful barrier separates us.

Xiao Bai kept looking at me blankly to which I sighed. - "What do you want?"

The professional assassin looked me straight in the eyes. - "I want to be strong"

For the love of god...

"What makes you think I can help you?" - I rolled my eyes.

"Now that I know the supernatural world I know that I was just a frog at the bottom of a well, my strength is insignificant in the grand scheme of things and even if I am one of the best assassins in the world, the truth is that I specialize in espionage while direct combat is not my specialty…" – Xiao Bai showed her true emotions, concern and disappointment with herself. – "If I meet a supernatural enemy I will be killed without being able to defend myself, it is frustrating to be weak"

I smiled wryly. – "I thought you were a woman of few words"

Xiao Bai continued to look at me without much emotion, but she is being stubborn in this matter.

Let's see, she has a cute face, her body is well-shaped due to training, and although her personality is as flat as Rushia's chest, she is an interesting woman.

I bit the candy into my mouth and swallowed it, then took out a bottle of vodka and started drinking.

Xiao Bai kept looking at me silently while I was getting drunk.

After finishing the bottle I sighed with satisfaction. – "Follow me"

I headed to one of the training grounds that is protected by magical barriers.

Once in place, I clenched my fist and showed my favorite Full Contact Karate stance, First Stance: Basaltic Fist.

I used no supernatural energies and limited my physical strength to the peak of human potential on Gaia. Still, that blow had the power to demolish a building.

Xiao Bai showed a subtle surprised reaction, but quickly returned to absolute calm.

"You're from China so you must know what a cultivator is…" – I took out another bottle of vodka and took a drink. – "The problem of being a cultivator is the restrictions of Qi energy, if you face someone with more energy it is very likely that you will die even if you are more intelligent, skilled, and capable… Why? Because yes, it's that simple…"

Actually, cultivation involves aspects of destiny, law, probability, and other mystical and ridiculous concepts, so cultivating inner Qi is an excellent path to becoming a powerful entity, but the restrictions of that energy make it not worth cultivating at least in my opinion…

"These are pure martial arts, no magic, no Qi, no conceptual rubbish, just your fist hitting morons" – I clenched my fist with such force that the air was compressed to a dangerous point, then I opened my fist and the air exploded with the force of a grenade.

I used [Anti-Rasen] to protect Xiao Bai and lightly smiled. – "I can teach you to be strong, I can help you obtain immortality, I can even give you weapons to defend yourself against idiots with a god complex… But why should I do something so troublesome?"

Xiao Bai did not hesitate to kneel in front of me. – "Xiao Bai is willing to give herself to the master as long as the master accepts Xiao Bai as a disciple"

…

If it wasn't for the System Goddess being busy making a report for Alaya, she'd be happy to see someone using the same pretentious language...

I sighed wryly. – "You are supposed to be my slave and now you want to become a disciple, what next? Be my wife?"

Xiao Bai continued to kneel. – "If the master wants it, Xiao Bao is willing to give her body, heart, and soul to the master, Xiao Bai's life is in the hands of the master, Xiao Bai only wants the master to show her the way to be strong"

"... Whatever... Just don't refer to yourself in the third person, that's weird" - I sighed.

"I understand master" – Xiao Bai accepted it easily.

A few hours ago I hit her and kidnapped her, but now she is willing to be my lover…

I don't want to sound racist, but Asians are weird.

Although this woman is a professional assassin, she is not a cunning and treacherous woman, on the contrary, she is a loyal woman who will give her life for the person to whom she has sworn allegiance...

Although adding a woman from this world to my harem will bring me Alaya's attention, I can still make her my wife and then give her a wedding ring when Alaya doesn't notice.

Just in case I used [Character Sheet].

[Name: Xiao Bai

Source: My Beautiful Teacher

Categories: Assassin. Woman. Secondary heroine. Devil's Puppet (Spoiler, no more information can be extracted). Cultivator (Spoiler, no further information can be extracted). Qin Chao's Harem (Spoiler, no further information can be extracted)]

Who the fuck is Qin Chao?

Shit, my drunkenness was taken away by surprise...

[Character Sheet] shows the predestined information of a character so this information does not necessarily show the current status of a character.

I crouched down and put my hand on Xiao Bai's shoulder. – "Do not kneel in front of me, you are no longer my slave, now you are my wife"

Xiao Bai looked up and nodded. Although her cheeks were a little blushed, she didn't show a shy attitude and she accepted to be my wife without any problem.

[System Notification: The title 'False Antagonist' has prevented the damaging effects of protagonist Qin Chao's Plot Armor]

[System Notification: The energy 'Reader's Madness' has detected that the protagonist 'Quin Chao' has not yet developed his Plot Armor. Letting the titles 'False Antagonist', 'Harem King', 'Harem Protagonist', and 'Netori Protagonist' steal the Plot Armor from protagonist 'Qin Chao'?

YES / NO]

What?

That is new…

I used the abilities of [Reader's Madness] to see the mistakes in Xiao Bai's plot and understood what happened.

Qin Chao's story has not started so he cannot be credited as a protagonist yet. In comparison, that idiot is a caterpillar and will only turn into a butterfly when the plot starts.

Since my destiny is great thanks to being a hero and system user in addition to my titles related to stealing women, I have a chance to steal the plot armor since it's likely that this Qin Chao is currently just an ordinary person with no special abilities so he has no way to protect his destiny...

This opens the doors to many possibilities.

Although… Too much Plot Armor will be a headache… Too much trouble…

I don't know when Qin Chao's story will start so I'll ask Arisa if she knows that story, and in case she doesn't know anything, I'll accept the plot armor while preparing for the risks.

"Is it alright if I keep calling you master?" – Xiao Bai stood up and looked at me with some expectation.

Don't tell me... She's a masochist...

I smiled wryly. – "Fine, just don't act like you are my slave, you are my wife so you deserve respect"

Xiao Bai nodded and then blushed. – "Master… Now that I belong to you I want to give you all of me… It is my first time…"

A professional assassin who kept her virginity despite the shady business...

Did her author give much importance to the virginity?

He surely is Asian...

I smiled, and kissed her lips. – "You are pretty when you blush"

Xiao Bai showed more human emotions as she timidly lowered her gaze.

A cold killer who becomes adorable by falling in love… I feel like I'm in a soap opera, but I'm not complaining.

So while my legal wife was going through a moment of anxiety about the uncertain future, I had affectionate sex with the woman who tried to kidnap her less than a day ago.

I'm definitely not cut out to be a father...
