After running away from him, she now enters a woman's special place.

“Welcome, beautiful lady. Oh, you look strange; where are you from?” An aunt who might be the owner of the place asked.

“Can I order a cup of tea?” She asked without looking at the aunt, and she also just stood in front of the door after entering.

The aunt just smiled and then offered her a seat while serving a cup of tea on the table.
Kety Pery just walked down to the chair with her head down.

“Thank you,” said Kety Pery, slightly shaking.

The place she's currently in is a little bit more like a food and beverage store, but a little different because it also provides accommodation and there's a few other items on sale.

Even when drinking tea, he was only able to take one sip because his mind was still thinking about that terrible thing. And unintentionally, Kety dropped the cup, and the tea spilled out to dirty her clothes.

The owner's aunt just ignored it then took the cup and she cleaned it.

“Sorry.”

“Don't think about it. I know you must be coming to this city for the first time, am I right?”

“No, this is the second time I've come to the town of Dandle. I'm sure.”

“Oh so.”

The aunt returned to put on a new cup of tea in the hope that Kety would be satisfied with her service.

“I'm sorry to bother you; can I ask?”
“Yes, whatever it is.”
“Do you know the man you always call the Assassin Romance?”Kety Pery dared to ask about the man who saved her life. Even now, she's holding her hands tremblingly.

After daring to ask about that, all the women there turned their heads to arrive quickly.“Why are they staring at me?” Kety thought in surprise when she looked back at them.

“Do you know about this city?” The aunt did not answer her question but asked.

“If I know, then there's nothing else I have to tell you.” Without waiting for an answer, the aunt spoke a sentence that kept the girl in front of her silent.

Then the women who had previously looked at Kety are now returning to their respective occupations.“You ordered tea, and I'm sure you're from the village. Lady, I hope you're on the right track with what you were asking. I can only say that Assassin Romance is good, not like any other man.”

“I've been bothering him and now my aunt too. I'm sorry and thank you. I'll go.”

Kety got out of his seat and didn't forget to pay for her drink. When Kety had half opened the door to get out, the aunt came back and asked, “After knowing everything, aren't you afraid?”

Kety was surprised that she understood what the aunt's question meant, and then she said, “Yes, I'm scared.”

Slowly, the door closed, the little back had gone away and disappeared from their presence. Since talking to the aunt at the store, Kety feels guilty for suddenly leaving the Savior. She intended to meet him immediately, but unfortunately, because searching in the big city is too difficult. She didn't realize that night had arrived.

At night in the royal capital of Edeldan, Dandle is very crowded. There's no difference between the morning and the day. It's really crowded.

On that cold night, Assassin Romance was wandering everywhere, bored and unexpected, as this man walked relaxedly, staring at the bright fountain. Someone hit his back.

It was a girl who had hit his back, but the girl staggered back as if she didn't know that she had just hit someone.

“Wait!” Ash shouted, and he held the girl's hand.

It turns out the girl is nothing but Kety Pery. She was semi-conscious with a red face. Fate seemed to bring them together again.

“Village girl, what's going on here?”The man asked.

Feeling somebody holding her hand tightly, Kety looked and started talking, a little annoyed.

“Hey! Are you the killer? If so, then I'll be with you until I find out who killed my father and mother, and then I will—” Kety babbled at length, which shocked Ash into silence.

"Why does she look like a drunk?" thought Ash in his mind.

A few seconds after Kety fell in place, she fell into his arms, and Ash, who couldn't bear it, decided to take him home to Paradise Village.

But because the journey to Paradise Village is so long, it has to go through the dark forest. Assassin Romance is a manly man, kind, strong, and cool, considering that those are all his traits. This man won't back down just because it's dark.

“It's actually a little scary, but it's okay,” said Ash. Even though his eyes were covered with black cloth, he could still see because the cloth was transparent. He had his own reasons for why his eyes had to be closed like that.

Like the story of a deep-sleeping princess. In order to save her life, the prince will carry her romantically toward a safe haven. Ash treated Kety like that.

“Cannibals or insects, I will not retreat.”

Now, no word back just because it's dark, even though there's no moonlight. Ash ran as fast as lightning.

However, as expected, several cannibals began to move actively, intending to target them.

“Hahaha! Look! The meat we once sought is now before us!” Laughter could be heard loudly in the dense forest.

“You're right, man! This time we're not going to take it off like yesterday!”

“Wait a minute. There's something weird about this guy!”

Three people blocked his journey, and Ash was forced to stop and stay still to check on something around him.

“Hey, you! Quickly release that young and fresh meat, otherwise, you will die, old man.” 

“I told you to wait. This man, this man, closed his eyes.” But the other man is worried about something and is watching the movements of the man in front of him now.

“What are you worried about? He's mostly blind, isn't he?”

This is the second time they've offended Ash, but Ash is still holding himself back because, in the condition he was carrying Kety, he couldn't leave her even for a moment.

The man was afraid that something would happen if he let go for just a moment. Honestly, right now, Ash really wants to finish off these three cannibals.

“Don't be kidding! He! I know him! He's the reason why the other cannibals come and go,” he said."What do you mean? Why don't we just eat them now?”

“Some of them come to the capital to destroy you, but for the weak, the capital is like hell!”He continued.

“Hey!”

Assassin Romance is still silent without saying a word.

“Yes, it's true. It's a coincidence that I met you, Assassin Romance!”

When this cannibal man revealed his identity, his two friends were shocked to the point that his heels stood.

“Don't lie, man!” The man who always said arrogance hit his friend's head.

“Why should I lie? That's right! He's always closing his eyes, and he's holding a woman! Take a good look! Who dares to carry a woman so late at night besides him?! Hah!”The man shouted, but his two friends were silent.

“Well, this is a rare opportunity to meet him. It's a weird nickname, but he's strong, I like it. Come on!” said the man again.

“Well, my friend!” cried his two friends with enthusiasm.After finding out the identity of the Assassin Romance, the cannibals who had intercepted him in front began to move quickly towards him without hesitation.

Together to seize the Assassin Romance carrying a girl.Ash can only avoid any attack from them without a chance of retaliation. He focused on himself, prioritizing Kety, who was in his grasp.

“I'm sure the meat will be delicious,”thought those who were ready to bite at any time.

“Strangely enough, you're even challenging death,” said Ash, whispering and running away so that the gap opened a little.

One of them started accelerating, as did the other two, immediately following Ash's speed.

When the closest of them prepared to bite the arm of that fortunate girl, Assassin Romance turned the other way, and that cost him his own hand.
