Chapter 27: Assassin Ascension

((Note: This one skips episode 9. Now, let's do this!))

No POV

Khiry: However, you did know it was me who was Esdeath, right?

Naofumi then looked at Khiry as he then looked at his bowl.

Naofumi: Yeah. I did remember seeing her on the manga cover that I gave you. 

Khiry: So, Fio attacked me on her own?

Naofumi: Yeah. I don't know why would she do that.

Khiry then thinks about one other explanation.

Khiry: I believe there is a reason. Do you know how Fio was looking at that dickface's dragon? How Fiolials & dragons don't get along? 

Naofumi: Yeah.

Khiry: & You saw how I can change forms?

Naofumi: Yeah, but what does that have to do with Fio attacking you?

Khiry: I got two new class forms: A Rider, which is Capt. Falcon, & A Berserker, which is Natsu Dragneel.

Naofumi now understands why Fio attacked Khiry, due to Natsu having been training with Fire Dragon Slayer Magic by an actual dragon.

Khiry: Oh, here.

Khiry then shows him the dragon core.

Khiry: I got this from the dragon Ren left, along with his gold & daughter.

Naofumi: Daughter?

Khiry: A demi-human. A dog demi-human. She is in the living room with Raph & Fio.

Naofumi then looked around to see the master bedroom of Khiry's log cabin.

Naofumi: You built this?

Khiry: Yep. Hey, Naofumi. How about I trade you info? 

Naofumi: Info? What do you want to know?  

Khiry: Your curse shield. In return, I will tell you info on Itsuki. 

Naofumi: Involved more people dying?

Khiry: Kind of. So, how did you acquire that shield?

Naofumi: From that vision.

Khiry: My death causes this?

Naofumi: Yeah, then I got so angry that I unlocked this shield.

Khiry then remembered what Remilia told him.

Remilia: That doesn't mean you accepted this fate. A new fate of yours hasn't been set, meaning you denied it.

Khiry then balls up his fist, then shows his determined face.

Khiry: Naofumi, I promised that I will not die. I promise you.

Naofumi: Khiry... Ok. Although...

Khiry: Hmm?

Naofumi: What happened to the dragon?

Khiry: I sent it to seas. 

Naofumi: & the man you killed?

Khiry: He & the group are adventurers.

Naofumi: But why would you kill those people?!

Khiry: Those people from the mirso village were going to take the gold for themselves & sold Wyndia as a slave.

Naofumi: Wyndia?

Khiry: The demi-human.

Naofumi: Oh. I think I can see your reason. Out of curiosity, can you become other characters not from video games, but others from other media like manga or anime?
