Chapter 71: Ch 71: Date & Conspiracy
While looking at various shops, Rein noticed that Kagura looked at a hairpin with a sakura flower petals design with a little bit of desire and he immediately decided to buy it for her as a gift.
This was the first gift Rein had given her and her master was generous enough to even put it in her hair with his own hand. She felt some warmth in her chest and some kind of weird feeling that she liked quite a lot. She was not sure what this feeling was but she was very happy with this feeling.
Seeing Kagura\'s slightly red face, Rein looked at her with a very gentle and doting look. He wanted to feel Kagura completely up with his feelings of love. Noticing the sudden surge of love from Rein\'s side, Kagura\'s face turned even redder and her love for Rein also increased.
While walking side by side, Rein extended his hand toward Kagura\'s very naturally and she also immediately grabbed it after feeling Rein\'s hand close to hers. They also started to walk side by side while slightly touching each other\'s shoulders. Both of them also had a sweet feeling in their heart.
Love was definitely blooming between them.
...
As Rein and Kagura were having their lovey dovey date, a group of people clad in completely black outfits were looking towards the grand library of this city. They were the group of ninjas who were tasked with keeping an eye on a suspected powerful individual named Stella.
That person was currently reading a book inside the library. That was the reason why these people were also looking at it.
They just heard the news that the new mithril rank adventurer named Rein was seen in the market area with a different girl. From the outfit and looks of that girl, it was suspected that this girl was a local. Even if she was not from this city, she was at least from this nation.
Their chief suspected that the man was cheating on his lovers with this girl and that was the reason why he was visiting this girl while hiding it from the other two. He wanted to use this incident to somehow break the trust between that man and these girls.
But the ninjas who were in charge of keeping an eye on the beastkin girl had already lost her sight. But that was expected as the leader of the ninja judged this girl to be in the same profession by her looks, posture and lighting style.
So for someone as powerful as her, it was very easy to get rid of a few eyes from her.
So, currently the ninjas and the person who was their master was planning to approach the elf girl. He was going to show her a picture of her lover with the local girl to create some distrust between them. Then he was going to strike when the iron was hot and would invite this girl to join him.
He was very sure that this elf girl would not be able to reject her proposal as he had some very valuable treasures that elves liked.
Soon one of their higher ups was going to join them and that person would be in charge of interacting with her. For the time being they just needed to keep an eye on Stella to make sure she was still inside the library.
Miyako was a talented ninja who had just managed to land herself in a supervisory position and she was extremely happy about it.
Among the ninjas this position was very sought after as allowed a person to be in a superior position compared to other ninja and at the same time, their job was also easiest and had the least life risk.
So she felt like she had reached the peak of her life after becoming a supervisor, but today she was suddenly given a special important mission for which she needed to go outside and she was also unable to reject this mission.
But when she learned that for this mission she did not need to do any dangerous assassination or infiltration and just needed to talk to an important person, she became relaxed again.
Miyako was extremely good at communication and she was very confident in this field. She was able to become one of the youngest people to get herself a supervisory job because of this skill of hers. She had seduced and slept with several of the ninja higher ups to secure her position.
But her happy mood dropped once again after knowing that the person she was going to deal with was female and also a potential mithril ranker.
Mithril rankers had a very unstable personality and if it was a male she was sure of not dying if she allowed this man to play with her body and by having sex with a mithril ranker, she would also be able to gain valuable experience.
But as her current target was a female, her plan was useless if that person was not a lesbian and could kill her if she got angry. With all those thoughts in her mind, she went to the place where she was supposed to meet this person which was the grand library.
As soon as she entered the grand library, she was able to immediately find that person. She was an elf which was very rare in this part of the world. Not only that but her beauty was off the charts too. Miyako herself was quite a beauty, but her beauty would fall short in front of this person.
She wanted to make contact with this girl as naturally as possible without making her hostile. So she also took out some books for reading and sat on a seat close to hers.
While reading her book, she was also keeping an eye on the types of books this elvin lady was reading to find a book that she also had read before.
After 30 minutes or so, she finally picked up a book about various flowers which could be found in the nearby area and that was the book she had also read before. All the other books she was reading looked scary with theories and staff which she hated. So, this was her perfect chance.
"Wow, miss elf, will you be interested in knowing more about the flowers of this region ?"
While observing Stella, Miyako judged her to be an intellectual person and not a hot headed madman. And then from her experience she decided that taking an active approach in talking with her would be better.
"Yes, I\'m. My lover and I were planning to go on a date, so I was thinking about inviting him to find a rare flower with me. That\'s why I am trying to find what kind of rare flowers can be found nearby."
As soon as she heard that she remembered that the main objective of her mission was to let her know about the cheating that her lover was doing. So she immediately came up with a plan.
"Ohh, I could record a scene on a paper in the form of a picture and flowers are one of my favourite items to use that magic item. Other than that I also like to take pictures of loving couples. Would you like to check some of them out ?"
Hearing her offer, Stella gave her a gentle smile. This smile looked very dazzling in her beautiful face. Even a straight girl like Miyako felt a tug in her heartstring. Then Stella said -
"Ohh, I would really like to see them."
As soon as she said it, Miyako immediately took out a bunch of pictures. Then she started to show them off to Stella with excitement. She had thought of several scenarios and this was one of them. Her mission was almost completed when she took out the pictures.
One of the pictures of the couples was showing a very handsome man wearing a stylish shirt and pants and a beautiful lady wearing a bright red kimono holding hands. This was obviously Rein and Kagura enjoying their date.
Noticing this picture, Stella immediately smiled. This was a reaction Miyako was not expecting and suddenly a chill ran down her spine.
"Here I was thinking what big plans you all were brewing and it turned out just these. What a disappointment. Huh. I was planning to just calmly enjoy my day off but all of you just had to ruin it."
Feeling a sense of danger, Miyako immediately tried to run away. She used her special life saving technique "Ninjutsu: Shadow Stride". It was a technique that allowed her to travel through shadows to reach a predetermined location. But everything was in vain.
Stella clapped her hand once and all the ninjas larking nearby immediately froze. Then she teleported all of them in a room that she had secretly asked Tasha to book after noticing that some people were observing them. Only Miyako was still in the library with her.
Stella was going to gently ask her to answer some questions about a lot of things.
