Chapter 14: It's Hard Being a Good Actor

Gauche Wynne is an American arms dealer who hired Shio as a bodyguard because he suspected that someone sent assassins at his head. Well that's obvious, he is a gun mogul, it would be strange if no one wants his head.

I originally thought of refusing to accompany Shio in this stupidity, but the karate master mentioned something that I cannot ignore.

There is an organization of martial artists who follow the fist of death called Yami, they are basically assassins who act like villains without a clear purpose, but judging what Shio mentioned about Yami I can tell that they want to take over the world or some stupid thing like that.

Why are there always people who want to dominate or destroy the world? My biggest wish is to have a medium-sized organization that makes me earn money while I took a beach vacation, dominating the world is too troublesome.

Maybe I lack ambition but I don't care, running a business generates a lot of paperwork so taking over the world should be hell. Villains may be masochists.

The point is that I now know the identity of the evil organization and this will make my plans easier.

My creepy stalker seems increasingly excited about my potential and ability to take martial arts to another level. Even the Ryozanpaku masters are intrigued by my absurd learning ability and willpower.

I am receiving training that can only be defined as medieval torture that could scare masochists. Hayato had to lower the level since he worries that I will go crazy. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

I think it is too late and I have already lost my mind, I am not going to do a mental evaluation to check it.

Yami will be the main ingredient in the conspiracy I'm cooking up. I plan to use this trip to get to know Yami better since they are the only organization of martial artists that follow the path of murder, which I found surprising.

If I could somehow eliminate Yami then this world would be closer to world peace but it is not my problem.

Actually, I would like to join Yami as an obedient and carefree soldier, but I care too much about Shigure to leave her.

The chainmail Shigure made for me is amazing and he has given me ideas for the Rasen. Knowing that a blacksmith job can make a defensive cover that distributes the impact of an anti-tank rifle has changed some of my common sense.

The chainmail is so thin that I can wear it under my clothes without it being noticeable, it actually looks like a semi-transparent shirt similar to what a stripper would wear.

Despite the embarrassing appearance, its usefulness is astonishing, not only are my organs protected from deadly damage, it is so flexible and light that I can do complex circus contortionist movements without the mesh becoming restrictive.

I have a theory that Yami will try to get hold of Shigure to obtain from her the secrets of forging from her since her talent can not only be applied in swords and armor, I am sure that she could make light vehicles with the resistance of a Soviet tank.

Sometimes I watch TV with Honoka, once we saw a series where a giant robot appeared. If Shigure can use her forging skills to make a city-sized robot... Heh, I'm getting excited.

For now, I have to get to know Yami better not only to join them but also want to see what kind of talents I can find to use to my advantage.

Shigure is a genius at the forge, Kensei and Akisame have a mastery in medicine that could save a person from the brink of death. Martial artists are not just weapons to kill enemies, some have talents that exceed all common sense.

The best thing would be to find talented people among those who are still at the disciple level since it would be easier for me to manipulate them. If I find helpful teachers maybe I could come to terms with them and if they refuse then I will kill them to avoid future problems.

And here I go again, overthinking the future while not enjoying the present. I need to learn to relax and enjoy the ride instead of obsessing over the goal.

Lately, I can only relax when I am 'meditating' with Shigure or pampering Renka and Honoka, it also helps me to play with Touchumaru. I definitely need a pet.

For now, I am sitting next to Shio and Kenichi, we are in the arms dealer's mansion listening to the explanation of the work.

It's a simple bodyguard job, but I'm worried about the stupidity of the employer. The woman he has as his secretary is an undercover murderer who aims at her life and still doesn't realize it ... Wait, I think Shio hasn't noticed either.

Where are the super martial artist instincts? Maybe I have developed a sixth sense to recognize troublesome women due to all the crazy women who have wanted to stab me. What depress.

Well, whatever, she's cute so I'll take care of her after, maybe I can get some information out of Yami.

Izumi is an adorable little girl, she has allowed me to use her as a test subject for some new acupuncture techniques. Although I think I made her a bit masochistic.

As Shio and Kenichi keep listening to the smuggler's bullshit, the woman said that she would go to the bathroom. I also took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and followed her.

I have learned stealth from Shigure and Touchumaru to the point of acquiring the Stealth ability at 25%. It's not enough to hide me from the Master level, but I can hide from everything below the Low-Class Master level. It seems that I have talent as a stalker, that does not make me happy.

The woman used a communicator to report that Shio brought two disciples for which she requested help.

Whatever, I'll just fake a broken heart to make her feel more guilty and make her a more loyal spy. I resigned myself to being an unsaved scum ever since I broke Izumi's mind.

When Shio and the others asked why it took so long, I told them that I was lost and the woman helped me to come back. No one noticed the subtle looks the woman was giving me because apparently martial artists are asexual except for the perverted idiot Kensei.

We were about to get in the car since the dealer has business elsewhere. I wasn't the only one who thought this was a bad idea, Shio changed the plan at the last minute, the car would be a decoy while we were traveling by train.

This is going to be a disaster, I can already see a fight starting involving innocent people but I'm too sexually frustrated to care. 10 minutes was not enough.

As we traveled on the train, the atmosphere became heavy which meant that the killer was nearby. Shio also noticed it so he was already prepared to fight.

"Now that I think about it, Christopher makes the women around him wear the same kind of perfume that he uses" - Shio finally realized that the woman was a spy, you were late. - "Isn't that so, spy woman?"

The spy kicked at the dealer as a blade protruded from her sneaker. She was stopped by Shio and backed away as she got into a fighting stance.

"I'll leave that woman, I have an affair with an old acquaintance" - Shio smiled as he looked across the car.

There was a 'man'. That guy could give Miu lessons in femininity. I don't want to be racist, but it is as expected from a French assassin, he is fashionable

Another woman approached as Shio addressed the Frenchman. Apparently, Christopher brought another helper to deal with us, although it doesn't seem like much since she's only at the top of the Middle-Class Disciple.

I can deal with both without problems but that would not be fun, ahem, that would not be convenient since I have to get information from them.

I'll use the same approach as Kenichi and say that I can't hit a woman. Until now the dojo masters don't know that I hit Kaname and the Valkyries, they think I saw potential in them and that's why I chose to train them.

Kenichi and I started fighting with the women to protect the arms dealer. I was really getting bored as this was not a challenge, with the things I do for the greater good they should consider me a martyr.

I also had to act like a heartbroken young man from being cheated on and used by the woman. I couldn't let Kenichi and Shio know that I was inside her in the bathroom so I just looked at her resentfully like a husband cheated on by his wife.

In case you're wondering, I know what that expression looks like since I've slept with married women and I don't give a shit about discretion.

Kenichi was nearly stabbed to death and he only survived because of the chainmail he wore under his uniform. Shigure gave him one since he was also her disciple but the difference in quality was obvious.

Before I was wondering how Kenichi could get out of fatal situations unscathed, at this point it wouldn't be strange if Kenichi had lost a limb or two.

Navi explained to me that the plot armor makes the protagonist unable to be killed even if he is killed. It sounds so stupid that he wanted to laugh.

My determination to steal the plot armor increased after I found out so I intend to take Miu before leaving the dojo for the plot armor to protect me from the masters in Yami, you are never too cautious. He should also steal the plot armor from the next world he is about to visit.

Shio had to hold back as the Frenchman was using a girl as a shield and Shio is a soft heart man like Apachai.

Kenichi and I managed to defeat the women and tied them up so they wouldn't escape. I let go of the tie so that the spy woman could free herself and attack me, Kenichi is an idiot who does not know the art of bondage so the other woman could also free herself in a few moments.

The Frenchman grabbed a boy and threw him for the advantage, I had to contain my laughter.

Shio jumped to save the boy, which the Frenchman took advantage of to try to kill the dealer. Why does he take the time to look cool and not kill him quick? I don't understand these people.

Kenichi and I stopped him. Kenichi was caught by the neck while I was kicked in the stomach.

I won't lie, that was fucking painful. If it weren't for the chainmail then that kick would have killed me, I still can't take a full blow from a Super Master with killing intent.

As for why Kenichi was only sustained without taking actual damage, plot armor.

Shio came back in a rage and hit the Frenchman as he destroyed the wall of the train. The Frenchman was thrown away, this time was used by the two women to free themselves and kidnap Kenichi and me.

Even though my stomach hurt, it was fine. The Ki and Hamon helped me catch my breath in case I had to fight. I pretended to be injured to justify that a near Expert level was kidnapped by these weaklings.

The woman I had a quick affair with whispered "I'm sorry" to me as she carried me on her shoulder.

I hate drama, but whatever, I'm hungry.
