"Sigh!" Mia sighed. In fact, she had noticed this side from the very beginning. If Kaede had intended to make a move, she would definitely have stepped in beforehand.
However, Kaede did not make a move, and there was also that sentence Kaede had said earlier.
How could Mia not know that Ryu was simply not suited to be a server, but...
"Mama Madam, please spare Ryu this one time" Looking at Syr pleading for Ryu on the side, Mia sighed once again.
"However, Ryu, you also need to be careful. That little girl from the Loki Familia was not wrong; this is your problem." Mia only said at the end, "And because of your behavior, we might have lost a patron. You... think about it carefully yourself."
Mia did not say anything about driving Ryu away. After all, Syr had pleaded for her, so what could she say? Syr's identity... her identity...
Ryu's face was a bit pale. She understood very well that this was her own mistake. Her fists clenched. The self who had been saved by her, was she unable to even do a good job as a server?
Or was it that she was only suited to be an executioner in the darkness?
"Don't be sad, Ryu. Madam won't drive you away." Syr walked over at this moment with a gentle smile and said to Ryu.
"...Yeah." Looking at Syr's smile, Ryu's whole body slowly relaxed once again, and the anxiety and self-blame that had just arisen in her heart instantly vanished.
It was this kind of smile. At that time, the girl who reached out a helping hand to her as she was waiting for death in the garbage heap, and smiled at her.
She, Ryu, was no longer the executioner of the past. The executioner of the past had already died in that garbage heap. The one living here was just an ordinary server saved by an angel-like girl.
Nothing more...
A server's duty was not like the past, punishing evil and promoting good, nor was it like the days of darkness, killing crazily. A server was just an ordinary server.
There was no need to care about the other party's identity; just fulfill one's own duty and protect the angel in one's heart...
That was enough.
Something she should have understood long ago, why did she only understand it now?
Just as Kaede said, she was loathing her past self and hadn't let go of that period of time.
From now on, she would be a qualified server.
"Um, I'll go out for a moment." Ryu said and rushed out. As a server, one would not drive away a patron. Since it was her mistake, she had to go and win back this customer for the Hostess of Fertility.
"Eh?" Syr looked at Ryu, then watched her figure, a smile appearing on her face.
And as for Kaede, she had already walked out of the Hostess of Fertility.
She had felt a sense of danger inside. If she had made a move, perhaps the next moment she would have been swatted away.
And the source of that danger was the proprietress, Mia. This made Kaede increasingly surprised about what kind of background the Hostess of Fertility had. Not only were the employees strong, but the proprietress was also absurdly strong.
However, Kaede hadn't intended to make a move from the beginning. Otherwise, even if there was danger, she would have tried.
After coming out of the Hostess of Fertility, Kaede hadn't walked many steps before the corners of her mouth quietly curled up.
Just in time, her mood was terrible right now~
Sensing the group of people peeking at her from the shadows, Kaede narrowed her eyes. Freya's lesson had arrived, but this kind of concealment method was truly a bit embarrassing.
However, they were not assassins, so one couldn't demand anything of them, but keeping their eyes fixed on Kaede was a mistake.
Kaede had no intention of alerting the enemy, so she pretended not to have noticed anything and walked along the street.
Soon, Kaede arrived in front of a small alley and walked in.
And the people following behind her revealed cruel smiles on their faces. Originally, they couldn't make a move on the main street.
Since she had taken the initiative to enter the alley, then she shouldn't blame them.
However, when they arrived at the alley, they didn't find Kaede's figure.
"Chase her!" The leader immediately realized that they had been discovered and shouted instantly, "She shouldn't have run far!"
"Yes!"
Ryu quickly discovered Kaede's figure; she was wearing a cloak, which was too conspicuous. Originally, she wanted to go directly over, but she noticed a group of people seemingly following Kaede.
Immediately, Ryu narrowed her eyes. These people must have ill intentions, right? Could it be that existence from over there again?
Therefore, Ryu didn't approach immediately, but instead hung behind that group of people, wanting to help Kaede.
However, the facts told Ryu that the aura on Kaede hadn't deceived her at all, so she didn't need Ryu's help at all.
Just seeing that in front of the alley, that group of people began to scatter.
Just when Ryu didn't know which side to follow, she discovered continuous screams coming from inside the alley.
Did Kaede leave? Of course not. She was not the kind of person who wouldn't fight back. Since someone had sent people to teach her a lesson, she would cripple the people sent.
Of course, Kaede didn't have the idea of dealing heavy blows. After all, there were many things to consider. If she killed them, it would really tear the mask off.
However, she still had to let the other party see what it meant to hide, what it meant to track, and what... it meant to be an assassin.
Dealing with every person was one strike, one strike that hit the mark, one strike that was bound to attack their weakest point.
And after one strike, Kaede's figure would disappear from their eyes again, waiting for the next opportunity to strike.
Fear accompanied them. When they were afraid and wanted to run away, it was also when their movements were most disorganized.
At this time, Kaede would strike again, like a grim reaper, reaping—no, this time just knocking down one figure after another.
No one could last more than one move in Kaede's hands, no one could discover Kaede's figure, and no one could dodge Kaede's attacks.
Screams, shouting, demon, demon!
However, it was useless. All the people were running away, but one could only see more and more people falling to the ground.
No one could escape this alley.
Soon, the screams stopped, because except for that leader, everyone else was lying on the ground.
At this time, Kaede appeared in front of the leader. The distance between her and him was not far, but in between, a path was paved with human bodies.
Stepping on the path paved with human bodies, completely without regard for their feelings or their screams, she walked towards that leader.
"You... don't come over!"
That leader retreated backwards, retreating, then fell down, still retreating, looking at Kaede who was constantly walking over, his eyes widened, as if looking at a demon.
However, in the end, Kaede walked up to him, looking down at him from above. Under the dark cloak, only a pair of crimson eyes were revealed.
"Ugh ah!!!!!"
