Slurp slurp.

​

“Hmm~ The fur is so soft.”

​

A girl named Erica was bouncing my mane and stroking it roughly.

​

To me, it seems quite old-fashioned and I tried to touch it gently, but to me, who knows Ronica’s warm and affectionate touch, it just feels rough.

​

‘Did you sneak in like this for no reason?’

​

Currently, I have infiltrated an organization called Rosetta to investigate the organization that harassed my student.

​

As you can see, the boss liked it and picked it up.

​

The reason I showed up in front of the boss instead of watching from afar is simple. It’s because I am currently in the form of a baby animal and this woman really likes animals.

​

How do you know?

​

The Pirate King of Bagel.

Erica.

​

In my past life, I was caught up in a war because of this woman.

​

I vividly remember the hundreds of animals running towards me at that time.

​

It’s at a trivial level now… At that time, Erica was a difficult opponent. So I cut down all the animals that were distracting me.

​

After that, the traitor Medis, who was renowned as a hero, cut off the head of the man who had run away.

​

I was like that… .

​

‘Is she the queen of the slums at this point?’

​

Honestly, it’s hard to believe.

​

I never thought a guy like this would just hang out in the slums.

​

He later conquered the maritime city of Bagel with overwhelming wealth and manpower, became a pirate, and fought a war against the country.

​

“Kiyaang~”

​

“Hehe. okay. You seem happy too.”

​

From the stroking touch, I immediately grasped the size and speed of the mana channel.

​

I’m saving it in my own way, but you can’t fool me.

​

The level at the edge of 5 stars.

​

As it has reached the beginning of future 7 stars, if it is left like this, it will become quite annoying.

​

Actually, it doesn’t matter to me now what she does, but unfortunately, I can’t just leave her alone as she is the one who is causing Ronica’s torment.

​

So how should I kill it? .

​

Although I am a strong 5-star player, I also recently reached 4-star status. A difference of about 1 star can be bridged with your eyes closed.

​

“Eat this. It is said to be food prepared by Rosetta’s best chef.”

​

“… Sniff.”

​

hmm.

Let’s quit.

​

Because it is easier and more convenient to find out information while being treated like this rather than secretly watching.

​

I can tolerate just putting it off a little bit.

​

I looked at the soft meat and took a bite.

​

Meat that melts smoothly.

A savory scent that spreads throughout your mouth.

​

It was so delicious that I wanted to stuff it in my mouth. It’s a taste so addictive that it makes you wonder whether to kidnap the chef and teach Ronica the recipe.

​

“Hmm~ The way you eat is quite elegant. I like it. From now on, your name is Rose. It’s the name of an old lover I liked.”

​

Rosé?

Lover’s name?

​

Is Rosetta’s name also taken from there?

​

After committing so much massacre and extortion in my past life, am I the type that is surprisingly weak to affection?

​

“It was nice to see you crying in bed. When I killed it, the taste was so thrilling.”

​

Correct.

He’s just crazy.

​

Anyway, since I was with Rosetta’s boss, it wasn’t difficult to get information. If you stayed by his side for a while, he would quickly spit out useful information.

​

For example, while clenching your jaw and thinking.

​

“Now the day of revenge is not far away. Those nobles will soon fall, so buy them up and imprison them… .”

​

Or talk about scary things.

​

“Hmm. Come here. To take a short walk.”

​

You can go around the organization’s buildings in the slums and actively help them spy on them.

​

“The surplus this month is twice as much as last time. I need to prepare to get out of here soon.”

​

He read the accounting ledgers and even informed me of his future plans.

​

“Huh? That document is dangerous… Well, I guess it’ll be okay if you stay calm.”

​

Sigh~

​

Even when he stands on the desk and looks at the documents openly, he just pats his head as if he thinks it’s cute. No restrictions were placed on my spying activities.

​

Although the frequent caressing was annoying, he was able to avoid murder by carving the number 3 for ‘tolerance’ on his head.

​

Enjoy it now,

It will remember the number of times you stroked it.

​

For reference, it has now been stroked 27 times.

​

Sigh~

​

Number 28.

​

From then on, I monitored everything about Erica until evening. Everything was uncomfortable except for food, but thanks to this, I was able to easily find out important information.

​

Main branch.

book.

Warehouse location.

​

I memorized the size of the organization members, their duties, and even the details of their armed forces.

Until dark evening.

​

‘Is this enough?’

​

It’s already been half a day since I haven’t seen Ronika.

​

My student is probably getting worried, so it would be best to go back now.

​

But before that… .

​

I looked at Erica, who was getting up from her seat with her sword in hand.

​

Let’s tease him a little.

​

​

​

*

​

​

​

The time when the moon rose.

​

“The night breeze is cool, so I guess I should relax. Are you going too?”

​

“Kang!”

​

The black baby animal named Rosé answered energetically. It may not have been understood, but it felt that way for some reason, and Erica chuckled.

​

“Good. Follow me.”

​

After that, he took the real sword and went outside.

​

Erica checked to see if Rosé was following her and entered a building that looked huge at first glance.

​

It was a renovated stadium that had been ruined.

​

Chiing~

​

Erika took out her sword and lightly took a stance with one hand. In that state, I looked down at Rosé for a moment.

​

“Hmm?”

​

Sitting posture like a human.

One hand picking your nostrils.

​

An arrogant look was directed towards this place, as if to say, give it a try.

It was a completely different atmosphere than before.

​

‘what?… ‘He wasn’t like this?’

​

Is it because of my mood that my once very cute look now looks a bit unlucky?

​

“Korororong~”

​

Even when I tried to make eye contact, he half-closed his eyes, lifted his face slightly, and made a strange snorting sound, as if he was annoyed.

​

It was a yawn.

​

“Hmm… Well, it’s still cute. I’ll take a look.”

​

Erica didn’t want to show off to the animals, so she brushed it off.

​

I decided to take education step by step from now on.

​

chuck.

​

First, I held my sword and took a stance.

​

Hit hard the first time.

​

Whoop!!

​

He slashed twice in quick succession and then stabbed his opponent with his sword in a mid-stroke motion.

​

and.

​

◎︎ Activates the Spectral Sword.

​

Chop chop!!!

​

The sword stretched forward instantly multiplied to 10 and stabbed the virtual opponent.

​

It was a move that was impossible with his original skills, but it was possible with the skills he gained from the tower. If you mix this with swordsmanship, most people will not be able to block it and will have to sacrifice their heads.

​

“Hmm~ It’s amazing every time I use it. When I have time, I have to climb the tower again and gain skills.”

​

Afterwards, Erica practiced sword skills alone.

​

Even though he was stuck in the slums, he always swung his sword every day. This will give us wings to move to places wider than the slums.

​

If you have the skills, it wouldn’t be impossible.

​

“Sniff.”

​

Suddenly a sound that sounded like a sneer was heard.

​

When I stopped dancing due to a strange feeling, I saw Rosé nearby, lying on her side with her head in one hand, in a bad posture.

​

“What kind of animal poses like that… .”

​

Even the legs were twisted, to the point where it seemed as if a human had entered the body.

​

Jumping.

​

“Keu~”

​

As I was staring, Rose lightly got up and jumped up.

​

Tuk.

​

“Hmm?”

​

It must have been very high compared to her body, but Rosé climbed onto Erica’s shoulder very lightly.

​

Erica had been holding back doubts about her poor posture, but when cute Rosé approached her like this first, her expression quickly calmed down.

​

“Asshole. He kept looking at me strangely, and I guess he was angry because I didn’t play with him. okay. I sat there to take a short break-”

​

however.

​

puck!!

​

“… … !!?!”

​

Erica’s head, which was turning to look at Rosé, was suddenly bent in the opposite direction.

​

A dull shock.

A surprise attack that went completely unnoticed.

​

What is this suddenly happening?

​

“Sniff~”

​

A clear sneer is heard.

​

Could it be that Rosé on his shoulder did something like this?

​

puck!!

​

“… … .”

​

The moment I turned my head to check again, my head turned again.

​

And this time I saw it.

​

Cute soles covered in red jelly.

​

Quick.

​

The vicious boss of Rosetta.

Erica cannot treat even a lord carelessly.

​

It was a moment when her pride was cracked.

​

I didn’t think about the strangeness of how he could hit his head at such exquisite timing.

​

“You’re crazy!!”

​

I threw my left fist with my right shoulder. No matter how cute he was, I couldn’t tolerate him being so reckless. At this point, we have no choice but to educate ourselves thoroughly.

​

But it’s the same this time too.

​

fault!

​

Rose arbitrarily climbed onto her head and avoided the attack.

​

“This guy!!”

​

Erica, whose fever was rising, stretched out her arms and tried to catch Rosé. However, Rose simply dodged the hand by stepping on her outstretched arms and jumping with a nimble movement.

​

“What!!… .”

​

puck!!

​

“… Huh.”

​

As if showing an unsightly appearance wasn’t enough, he gave his face to a punch once more.

​

Meanwhile, Rose landed leisurely on the floor.

​

“Kikikkikit!!”

​

He was covering his mouth with one hand and laughing.

​

Obvious mockery.

​

Puzzle.

​

If you come this far, no one can stop you.

​

If the anger reaches its peak like this, there will be nothing for Erica to see.

It won’t be solved unless someone dies.

​

Rosé, who I just found cute, is no exception.

​

He immediately raised his sword and aimed.

Powerful mana of 5 stars surrounded.

​

“I tried to raise it because it was cute, but now it’s over. I will kill you and save the other. As a properly educated guy. Haha. I should have done that a long time ago.”

​

“Korororong~”

​

“… This guy!!”

​

A sword strike that was so fast that it was incomparable to the movements he had been practicing just before reached Rose.

​

No, I almost touched it.

​

Swish.

​

“What?… .”

​

1cm.

The distance between Rose and the sword.

​

Rose had dodged the sword in that short interval. He even seemed relaxed as he stroked his sword with a sour expression on his face.

​

This can never happen.

​

So I swung my sword again with all my might.

​

Swish.

​

Swish!

​

avoided.

I avoided it again.

​

Even avoiding such a quick succession wasn’t enough.

​

◎︎ Activates the Spectral Sword.

​

Even the skill that no one could block was simply dodged by leaning forward while picking your nose in the air.

​

“Why on earth!!… .”

​

It’s not right, right?

​

Feeling strange, I took a quick look and saw that a soft glow was coming from Rosé’s body.

​

It was a sign of magic.

​

‘this guy. ‘It’s not an ordinary beast!’

​

Maybe a refund?

​

There are quite a few such animals in the tower.

Animals that speak, have unusual abilities, or use magic.

​

But isn’t this just a baby?

​

‘How can this be?’

​

Whoop!!

Swish swish!~

​

Knowing the identity didn’t change anything. No matter how hard he tried, the sword could not reach Rose.

​

As if he knew all the sword techniques.

I wonder if everyone figured out that I was stealing sword skills a little while ago.

​

“That can’t be possible!!!”

​

Erica increased her speed even more and swung her sword mercilessly.

​

Obviously you are faster.

But it didn’t reach.

​

It really felt like every movement was being read.

​

I feel like I’m being rude.

​

‘This can’t be happening.’

​

It couldn’t be like this, it couldn’t be like this!!… .

​

Pot.

​

While losing his composure and swinging his sword wildly, Rose disappeared from sight.

​

At that moment, a huge feeling of intimidation pressed down on my body.

The thick life strangled me.

​

A feeling I have felt for the first time in my life.

​

I felt like I was going to die if I didn’t run away. But before I could react, Rose appeared near my chest.

​

Sigh-

​

“… … … ?”

​

In the blink of an eye, a baby animal passed by.

​

A hot sensation in your right shoulder.

A stream of red water rising upward.

​

I don’t want to understand, but

I saw it at the end.

​

Geom lecture.

​

The concentrated mana in one black baby beast’s claw cut through his shoulder.

​

“… … … Wow!!!!!!!”

​

What on earth happened?

​

As the pain came later, I grabbed my shoulder and got down on one knee. Even in incomprehensible situations, her instinct to survive made quick decisions.

​

You have to stand up.

You can’t die here.

​

My eyes sparkled.

​

First, you have to run away…

​

“… Ugh… … ?”

​

But there was no need to run. Because Rosé had already disappeared.

​

Along with his severed right arm.

​

“Heo Eok… Uh, where?… … .”

​

Only the wind sweeps past.

There was no one around.

​

“Ugh… Huh… … .”

​

I feel like I’m possessed by a ghost.

​

I break into a cold sweat.

​

So the black man returned to Venus leisurely, taking an arm as a trophy.
