Chapter 142 – Assassination Family Raven 2 (1)
Possessed the body of Cyan Raven.
The last location before the possession’s return was the Crow family’s safe house in Taib Village.
It was night, Princess Rosette and Terry Crow were sharing a bedroom, and I was sitting on the sofa in the living room.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to go around and get information, but since Marie Crow is there, one way is to ask her.
First, what I have to do is grow my Shadow Mastery.
Because in this world, you can do anything if you have power.
Yu Xian and Lee Xian’s bodies accepted the shadow and absorbed it into non-attribute mana, but I was a little curious what would happen to Cian Raven, who has negative attribute mana.
Using presence detection, he confirmed that the two women in the bedroom were asleep and got off the sofa, sat down on the floor, and closed his eyes.
Skill Link-Boost
Shadow Mastery. Yeonyeom Shingong (連炎神功).
In a world rich in mana, even shadows had a lot of mana.
I fell into a trance as I felt the negative man welling up inside my body.
*
I opened my eyes and felt the man inside my body.
The growth was such that the difference from Lee Sian’s body, which had grown to the size of a grain of rice, was clearly visible.
Cian Raven did not have a lot of mana, and she tended to use it efficiently using Shadow Craft, so she helped her was definitely helpful.
Even if I open my eyes like that, there is still a lot of time left for the sun to rise.
‘Before I forget.’
Using Shadow Craft, I created a magic circle containing birth control magic.
It feels a bit complicated, but if you use this magic circle on a woman, she will become unable to get pregnant for about three days.
I thought that I didn’t know much about magic, and that a magic circle that could be used without such knowledge was amazing.
I took out a blank piece of paper from Terry Crow’s safe house, then applied ink to the shadow magic circle and stamped it.
Feeling like a human printer, I printed out three pieces of the birth control magic circle and made the magic circle disappear.
‘If you deliver this to Shrine Leader Gwen, the story will progress.’
There is still a long way to go before the sun rises.
‘I guess I can just take a nap.’
I tried using a soft dye technique to make the ink that forms the magic circle dry quickly.
‘As expected, there is a limit to the generation of heat.’
Unlike the bodies of Yusian and Leesian, who could change the ratio of mana at will, they had Shadow Mastery as the source of their bodies, so only a part of the negative attribute mana could be converted to heat.
In numerical terms, would it be around 5%? The salting plant was so hot that I couldn’t even dream of it, and I thought I could make at least one salt wheel.
‘I’m planning on growing my Shadow Mastery anyway, so just being able to use skill link in an emergency is enough.’
I dried the ink quickly with the gentle heat radiating from my hand, then folded it and put it in my pocket.
Now I can just take a breather and wake up.
I went to the couch and was able to fall asleep comfortably with the help of Combat Sleep, which helps you sleep in any situation.

When I woke up, I could see Terry Crow coming out of the room, rubbing his eyes.
“I’m sorry, Sian. If it weren’t for Princess Rosette, my guest and I would have been sleeping in the living room.”
Terry Crow, who made eye contact with me, bowed his head deeply and said.
“It’s okay. I have no trouble sleeping even in a place like this.”
“Or would you like me to get you a room at an inn? You refused yesterday, but I don’t mind spending that much.”
Although Princess Rosette brought a lot of money, it was a bit burdensome for her to use it.
Then, I think the best thing would be to make money, and the contraceptive magic in my pocket seemed like a good way to do it.
“I don’t mind staying here, but if you feel burdened…”
“No! I wish Sian would stay a little longer, but…”
Then she secretly touched her lower abdomen.
Terry Crow was the woman I took after possessing Cian Raven and taking her virginity.
Even though I had such a woman in front of me right now, I wasn’t very impressed.
Even with 50% Cyan Raven, I can feel this much, so what if I go beyond that?
First, we only raised it by 5% to make it 55%, but fortunately it wasn’t at a level where Yu Xian was eaten.
Now that my self-establishment has reached A+2, it seems to be having an impact.
“It’s hard to get an assassination mission right away, so it might be a good idea not to dull your sword while earning pocket money.”
“Are you thinking of becoming an adventurer? I see you checked the village’s mission table yesterday?”
I definitely remember that.
I confirmed that Teib Village here is a peaceful village.
“I don’t have a concrete plan yet, so that’s enough. But didn’t I just come out to wash my face?”
“Ah. Yes. I’m sorry for looking sloppy!”
Then Terry Crow headed straight to the bathroom.
‘Marie Crow’s house was even more unkempt.’
She heated up water in her kitchen for breakfast tea, thinking it might be a good idea to stop by and check it out when she has time.
While I was standing still waiting for the water to boil, Princess Rosette also came out of the bedroom.
“Mr. Xian, you woke up first?”
“Yes.”
“It looks like we’ve become distant again… Shall we take a walk around Teve Village today?”
As Princess Rosette worked for her assassin family, she was mentally devastated as she saw the actions of those who deserved to be killed and was tasked with killing them.
So, I was interested in the daily life of this peaceful village, and Tebe Village is a village that seems to embody that peace.
“First, I’m thinking of going to the Adventurer’s Guild to earn some pocket money. As Princess Rosette knows, the Raven family has fewer funds than expected because they pay for requests with people’s lives. How much money will the matriarch have to clean up the Crow family and normalize it? I don’t know if I’ll spend the time, but I’ll need money for pocket money.”
“Mr. Xian, can I give it to you? There’s still a lot of left.”
If you use the gold coins that Princess Rosette has, you can enjoy year after year in a town that can be called a big city.
She sounded like a smart woman who knew the value of her gold coins.
“There is no need for Mr. Xian to do low-level tasks such as missions for the adventurer guild in this town. Rather, I think you should spend your time and attention on bigger missions.”
The reason Princess Rosette gave was the quality of her mission.
Missions like digging up herbs or patrolling nearby were definitely too easy missions for me.
“But there is a problem because the Crow family, which organizes information, is paralyzed.”
“There are a few things I remember about being a candidate for the mission. So far, I have gathered information from the Crow family and decided on the feasibility of the assassination, but I think I can more accurately determine the feasibility if I go and decide in person.”〈 Br〉
Considering that Yu Xian still remains, is there any justification for the murder? I wanted to, but Cyan Raven seemed quite satisfied with the halfway mark now.
It’s not a bad idea to be able to resume her assassination mission by combining Princess Rosette’s memories and information from her field, but she probably has her own wishes in that proposition.
“What are the conditions for resuming the mission?”
“Take a little rest. Wouldn’t it be okay to rest well today?”
“That’s okay. I have things to do in this town.”
At that time, Terry Crow sneakily came out of the bathroom.
I think I kept going into the bathroom because I didn’t want to interrupt the conversation between me and Princess Rosette.
“Princess, is there anything I can help you with?”
“There is nothing special right now. Please continue doing what you normally do.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Princess Rosette spoke as if she was slightly offended, but Terry Crow only lowered her head.
I slept in the same bed last night, but the other person was the princess of the Eurasian Empire.

Although it is a small town, the bakery bakes warm bread for the villagers from the morning, and it sells like hot cakes.
I bought some bread to eat at the bakery and returned to the safe house.
While I was buying bread, I made some tea and grilled bacon, so it seemed like they were ready for breakfast.
When I used Shadow Craft to make a sharp sword and cut bread to give it to the girls, I thought, ‘Can you use such advanced skills to cut bread?’ I could see the same expression.
It wasn’t that strange to me since I use shadow craft in many ways, such as printing.
Princess Rosette lightly spread butter on the bread, chewed it, and spoke with a satisfied face.
“The bread here is pretty good.”
After hearing that, I also ate it with bacon on top, and probably because it was freshly baked bread, there was definitely no shortage.
The fact that the princess, who grew up eating the food prepared by the chefs of the Imperial and Raven families, gave it a good review could mean that it was really delicious, but seeing as how Princess Rosette had never complained about the food until now, it could be assumed that she just ate it well.
“Yes. I also eat it without getting tired of it.”
Terri Crowe replied, feeling as if she had been praised, and then went on to eat her meal.
I sliced the remaining bread into bite-sized pieces and put it in a paper bag.
It would be a good snack to eat while walking outside today.
After a rather peaceful breakfast, we left the safe house.
Terry Crow was to gather information, and Princess Rosette and I were to feel peace in the village of Teve, but we ended up acting together.
After touring the village, we and Terry Crow, who is in charge of information gathering in the village, knew of many good places.
I was able to meet Roman when I returned from taking a walk around the village, focusing on those nice places.
“Ah. Hello!”
How does Roman, who greets us with a bright face, and a brown-haired novice swordsman who blushes at the sight of Princess Rosette, become a hero?
‘Couldn’t I change that future too?’
It became more bothersome because I found out piecemeal what I wish I had not known.
