Chapter 15: I need a conscience or I'll go crazy

Chapter 15: I need a conscience or I'll go crazy

I've always known that life is unfair. Some are born lucky and others life spits in their faces.

I don't envy privileged people and I'm used to being shitty. Outside of the Harem System, I've never won anything, in fact, I'm rock-paper-scissors shit.

Because of this, I do not leave things to chance and I try to control everything around me since I am sure that if I leave things to chance everything will fall apart at least for me.

On the positive side, such a ridiculous life has allowed me to accept life's bullshit as natural. Even the difference in treatment between Kenichi and myself seems acceptable to me.

Kenichi is the protagonist so it is normal for the French assassin to treat him as a friend, offer him a fancy dinner, and have a civilized talk, they did not even check if Kenichi had any hidden weapons and they allowed him to keep his chainmail. That is perfectly normal.

For my part, I was beaten to shit after removing my concealed weapons, handcuffed to a pipe, and left in a basement. They didn't even give me anything to eat and just left me here naked like an animal.

Apparently, professional killers only get stupid around the 'protagonist', the rest of us can only make plans to avoid dying like miserable cockroaches.

After being caught, the Frenchman gave me an additional beating to make sure he can't do something troublesome. The accompanying women searched every inch of my body for hidden weapons and did an excellent job finding almost all of my tricks.

I still have a couple of silver needles hidden inside my calves and forearms so I have already managed to open the handcuffs.

The woman they assigned to watch over me is so weak that I can beat her in a moment, but for now, I'm forming new plans to avoid getting into a shitty situation again.

To be honest, this is my fault, I have interacted with the Ryozanpaku masters for so long that I formed the image that martial artists were muscle brains who only thought about using their fists instead of making plans.

Not all of them are impulsive idiots who would let an unknown variable go free even if he is a child, Kenichi's case is special because of his plot armor.

If it weren't for the female spy who was now addicted to me, then my limbs might have been broken to be on the safe side. She assured that it was an unnecessary effort since I am not even Shio's disciple, the French seems obsessed with Shio so he only focused on Kenichi which gave me a space to breathe and think about what to do.

If I had time to plan and set traps maybe I could kill a Master, but defeating a Super Master would be impossible for me due to my limited strength.

I had not thought about it before but I have seen people at the Master level in my homeworld, they are true experts recognized as the best killers who could put the best Olympians to shame. Even though I know a couple of people who could take the position of Master, I have not seen a Super Master in my homeworld.

The limit on Master and Super Master is something that exceeds common sense and enters the realm of absurdity.

A Master can break concrete walls with his fists, but a Super Master could kick a building down. I have certainly been stupid in thinking that I would not run into dangerous martial artists.

As for how to deal with this situation, I will play with the brain of the woman in charge of watching over me and then wait for Kenichi's plot armor to do the magic.

I'm sure Shio will contact the Ryozanpaku so reinforcements will come. The rest of the teachers are busy with their own business whenever Kenichi gets into trouble, it is as if the world wants Kenichi to face difficulties to allow him to grow so it would not be surprising if only Miu and Renka came to help, they are not what Strong enough to ruin the stage where Shio and the French fight giving Kenichi a new lesson.

Once understood the operation of the plot armor then you can predict some scenarios that involve the protagonist. This is a martial arts world so are four rules:

1 The protagonist cannot die before his role in the world is finished.

This is the most important of the plot armor since an idiot with a hero complex like Kenichi would have died long ago without this.

2 The main heroine is key in the development of the protagonist and she is naturally attracted to the protagonist.

Even though Miu is developing feelings for me, she is also falling in love with Kenichi so if I don't start trying to win her over then she will stay with Kenichi.

3 The protagonist is a magnet for problems impossible for other people to solve and in case someone else can solve the problem, something will happen that will prevent outside interference for the sake of the plot.

Kenichi has been dealing with Ragnarok from the weakest to the strongest as if they were stepping stones, it is only a matter of time before he can face the leader of Ragnarok. This is also the point that makes me doubt if I should take the plot armor since the problems will haunt me relentlessly and I don't know if I will be able to deal with all the shit that will come, especially since the problems grow according to the strength of the protagonist.

I am much stronger than Kenichi so it would be problematic.

4 The protagonist can evangelize others through motivational speeches.

I learned the hard way that I shouldn't let my guard down around the protagonist or I'll blurt out some troublesome shit, or worse yet, I'll back off my actions and be on the right track.

Everything is so troublesome that it gives me headaches. I think my weakness will be the migraine and if I don't solve it soon then I will go crazy.

Anyway, I have work to do.

"What are you-?!" - The woman who was watching me couldn't finish her words as I hit her stomach.

I'm upset and naked so there's only one thing a scum like me can do. First, nice brainwashing to get my second spy on Yami and then a good meditation session until reinforcements arrive.

While I was making sure that the woman was so addicted to me that she could never be with another man in her entire life, I got the location of my clothes and weapons so I went looking for them to be ready in case a fight starts.

I also discovered that these women are not the lovers of the French and are only his disciples, the rivalry that the French feel with Shio is not just a matter of pride and there is a sexual desire involved.

Well, I will not judge the tastes of others.

I will leave the dojo two days before Kenichi's final fight with the leader of Ragnarok. I will show symptoms of depression to make myself mentally vulnerable and easy to influence.

I am sure that my stalker is the master of the leader of Ragnarok so he will appear to pick up his disciple after he is defeated by Kenichi as it will serve as the impulse that forces Kenichi to become stronger to face Yami.

This will be a good time for the stalker not only to get his disciple back, but he will also be able to take me which will secure me a position in Yami.

As for the plot armor, I found something interesting.

I feel that every time I have my plans ready, new information appears that makes me rethink everything. I have a headache.

I knew that stealing the plot armor would not be as simple as seducing Miu so it is nice to have a guide on how to achieve it, the best thing is that I can steal the plot armor in parts.

If I leave a part to Kenichi then I will not have to deal with all the problems that will come and I can secure my life which is the most important thing.

"Hey Listen! As expected of King Harem! Making netori to the protagonist! Muahahahahaha! " - Navi jumped everywhere with a maniacal laugh as we drove back to the dojo.

The matter with the arms dealer was resolved. The Frenchman and his assistants escaped before the police arrived.

I took a radio with a secure line so the women could send me information on Yami's movements.

My mind keeps forming all kinds of scenarios as I process all the information I got on this trip, for now, I'm pretending to be asleep while resting on Miu's lap.

Shio is driving while Kenichi is in the front seat, Shio is talking about the information he knows about Yami which helps me shape my plans.

I got a call from Shigure asking me how she was doing, it was nice that she almost freaked out knowing that I was hit by a Super Master again. Tonight I'm going to spoil her.

For now, I'll focus on listening to Shio, making new plans, and enjoying Miu's thighs. This girl may be annoying, but her body makes up for her flaws.

Can't wait to discipline that pretty butt.
