I woke up.
I slightly opened my eyes.
I stood without hesitation, regular folks would usually feel dizzy if they suddenly stood while they were just sleeping, but not an assassin, especially not a trained one.
I checked my wristwatch that was on my desk, the small arrow was pointing at the number six and the longer one pointed at between the number eight and nine.
I sighed, I realized that I have to go to work after a few minutes.
I replaced my sleepware with a more normal attire and headed towards the bathroom in order to wash my face and wipe my body.
After I was done,I exited the underground headquarters and closed the door from whence I came, specifically the sliding bookshelves.
I greeted the Bald guy that was guarding the door named 'Dan' before exiting the building.
I headed off towards my workplace, specifically a blacksmith.
I make weapons for livelihood, it also works as a persona or a disguise being as an assassin.
I work with a fried who's also a blacksmith but he specializes in making armors.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
After walking for 10 minutes I reached my destination. It was not crude or luxurious, it looked like anything that was on sale on the shop can be afforded by ordinary citizens. This is why our shop is famous although we are not that talented.
I entered the shop and was immediately greeted by my workmate.
"Hey Ainzach, just in time ain'tcha?" This was Dale a good friend of mine, also a valuable assassin.
"Yeah, we should start cleaning soon, in about an hour some customers will think of coming to our shop for repairs." I closed in a window and slid my fingers across to show the accumulated dusts.
"Yeah, yeah, by the way Claire will visit later she said she wanted to see you." Claire's a friend of mine she's a hero that was summoned from another world called 'earth'.
"Did she now?" I shrugged in disbelief in order to tell Dale that I wasn't gonna believe him. Heroes got it hard because of their busy schedule.
*Smirk*
I noticed his annoying smirk that was directed at me.
"What is it?"
"To think a hero would waste her time with a guy like you, clearly she has no taste." He was still smiling.
"What do you mean by that?" I was becoming somewhat annoyed by his behavior.
"Don't play dumb, you do know that she's in love with you right?" He was making an exaggerated pose that was clearly annoying.
"Oh, piss of" Stating that I was now annoyed he backed of for a bit.
"Well anyway we should get to cleaning already. By the way you will handle the counter today I have been requested of a custom made armor you should be free from weapon smithing for a while. With that said lets start cleaning. WOAHHHH!!" He raised his arms overhead to show enthusiasm.
"Yeah, yeah."
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
After about half an hour of cleaning, Dale already started working on his custom made armor at the back of the store as for me? I was managing the counter and organizing the shop's weapons and armors.
After I was done with my tasks I got a book I took with me from the library, the title was Dragons are Cute. I read it for about a few minutes then the store's door opened.
*cling* *cling*
It was the chime of a bell, it was soothing for me. Anyway I looked towards the door, and speak of the devil.
"Welcome, Claire what can I do for you?" She has a shiny golden hair, cute eyes. Some call her nicknames like 'Unparalleled Beauty' and the sort.
"Hmm... nothing I just came to see you." She was already on the offensive.
"Is that so? Feel free to stay for a while if you like."
"Can I really?" She smiled at me, her smile was so radiant, it was kinda blinding me.
If you're asking how I managed to make a hero fall in love with me. It was because I saved her from a minotaur when I was 15 she was 13 at that time, at the present I'm already 19, and she's 17.
She was also past the legal age, the legal age in this country was 15, so she can marry whenever and whoever she wants. But as a hero she would be fancied by nobles and the like, as a blacksmith, it will be hard for me because of the attention, and as an assassin my identity may be compromised.
I proceeded by making her a cup of tea. And handed it to her.
"Here you go, careful it's still hot." Lines like this make me sound smooth, but I've got nothing more to say.
"Oh thanks for the tea, and thanks for worrying about me."
While becoming idle with Claire, some customers came and left. Then Claire asked me a question.
"Hey Ainzach can you make me a weapon?"
"Hey, hey, Claire aren't you being disrespectful about your weapons or are you just making fun of me?" The reason I took that attitude because she was now one of the most strongest humans in the world and in her sheathe was one of the Holy Armaments called 'Virtegial', it was awarded to her after passing a trial of the Goddess of Healing
"No it's not like that Ainzach, I wasn't actually asking you to make me a main weapon, I was thinking of making an order of a secondary weapon in case I can't use Virtegial."
"Oh is that so?" That can hardly be a foolish decision in fact it was wise not to rely on a powerful weapon. But even though she says that I'm having a hard time thinking who can actually beat her with or without a weapon.
I have no chance of winning a battle with her if she was wielding it, but I have a high chance of winning if she wasn't wielding her Holy Armament.
"Well what kind of weapon do you want to be customed made?" I started suggesting her some options in case she doesn't have ideas.
"Ummmm... I kinda like a shortsword for a secondary weapon." It was a reasonable choice, a shortsword is easy to wield and at the same time easy to swing. As a rapier user she can make use of her speed that way.
"Hmmm... but what kind of materials do you want it made off?"
After discussing it with Claire for almost an hour, customers came and by, some came to buy and some just wanted to browse.
This is my everyday life, or you can say my other persona.
