i am slightly uncomfortable

Amazing so far! Cant wait to see where this goes!

 

[kurohanani]

For a heartless assassin he sure does care a lot about a girl he's known for a maximum of like 2 days

 

[Kaarme]

@kurohanani He's obviously not heartless. He's a warm-hearted assassin. He loved his mother, was envious of students having fun with friends, and now endangers his own life to help a tragic girl trying her best. None of that speaks of heartlessness.

this entire scene is re-contextualized now with the most recent chapter (chapter 16)....

 

[firosahoge]

wow, what a hot kiss >///<

 

[firosahoge]

Quick! Make babies before you die!

I don't think this counts as helping her when he's lying about everything.

 

[ryouhira]

why you made it so complicated?

because it wouldn't sell if it's not

 

[Alex-dono-sama]

plot twist the mom didn't cheat the daughter was just a rare defect...

 

[hikki8man]

@kurohanani I guess it is simply a matter of sympathy and empathy

What I don't get is why he couldn't give her the paladin class? It probably wouldn't be hard to convince her cousin to do the "grafting", which would allow her to awaken her mana and prevent mr. Assassin from having to fake her class.

I think that it would be too risky :

- First, it's supposed to be a secret and probably illegal medecine. He's already at huge risks just showing it to the lady. So having her cousin participate would mean more people knowing the situation.
Now, what would happen if his superior or his clients started looking into it? They could "interrogate" the cousin and the lady. Yeah, a bit too dangerous.
Basically, showing the medecine is already the riskiest situation he could have been in. So having multiple people knowing about it could make the secret at even more risks.

- Second, he said that it had a 7/10 success rate. Here, obviously it worked but what if it didn't work? Then he would have to dispose of both the lady and her cousin since she's a witness.
And then, having to explain the mysterious disappearance of a failure of the main family and a respected heir of the branch would be... Complicated.

In case of success, it would be suspicious af.
In case of failure, it would be suspicious af.
Anyway, he's screwed.
