Chapter 163 - Cleaning the house - Part 1

***

On the next morning, I wake up, slowly get off from my bed I was sleeping in. I took off my pairs of pants, and put a new pair because this pants I am using when I am going to sleep. After I put the new pair of pants, I look around, and I notice that Garnet it is on her bed, still sleeping.

"That's weird." I thought. "She usually wakes up earlier in the morning."

Anyway, I leave slowly this room, head to the door of this room, opening slowly, and when it makes enough space for me to leave this room, I took it. I left the room and head to the main room where the kitchen it is located. While I am walking, I observed the door of Ulfred and Taka being locked, they are probably sleeping too.

"Have I woke up earlier than them? Or they were sleeping too much?"

I go and entered the kitchen room, there I am looking at the only clock this house has it, and I observed that the time at seven o'clock. Which means that everybody is sleeping much more than usual. I am going to the windows, take out the blockage Ulfred put it to block the cold breeze to invade the house, I look outside, and then I see on the road, something red. I head to the main door, opened up and barge outside, where I can analyze much closer that red liquid there, who has become now just a big mark.

When I got closer to that trail of blood, I tried to touch it, and it seems that this one was from a while. At first, my thoughts were that this blood mark belongs to a member of the family, but as soon I was about to go into the house, I hear a screaming coming from the outside. I quickly leave my "vacation" house and head there without thinking that I am exposing myself to danger.

A few moments later, much more like almost a minute I think, I have came a cross of a variety of people, from normal humans to semi-humans, I see them gathering in circle. There is a woman screaming for someone to help her. I go there to see what is happening, and as soon as I arrived there, I see a few people from there looking at me curious. I managed to pass a few people and got into the front of this gathering.

I am looking at a corpse of a human, he is decapitated, a grotesque image which made feel bad for the man who got this. I am looking on my left because of my intuition and at almost three feet from me, I see a woman, lying there, the woman is probably much older than me. I walk to her, and I am looking at her. A man is holding her, not knowing what to do. I look at that man and I asked him.

"Can I cure her?"

"Y-You can cure, child?" asks the man relieved. "You can cure her of this sleep?"

"Sleep?" I asked the man while I am looking at the woman from his arms. "She is unconscious. And I don't think she present any injury. But I can cure her." I put my right hand on the forehead of this woman, and apply my healing spell to her.

After a while, I took my hand off from that woman who opens her eyes. The man who is holding her smiles at her, she tells her everything is alright, then he turns to me, and he thanked me for doing this. After I'm done that, another man comes to me, and he asks me if I can cure his sickness. The another one comes requesting to cure an injury, and another one comes with a missing leg.

And what can I do, I cannot refuse their desperate requests. I proceed to give the bad news to the people who wanted to cure a missing limb that my spell of healing it is not able to re-create a missing arm or leg, only heal disease, patch injuries such as stabbing for example and the thing I did earlier. After I give the bad news to some people, and looked at them walking away sad, I proceed to use a part of my mana to cure the people with disease and injury. Fortunately, there were only eight people who wanted to be cured.

When I finished with them, which probably took almost half an hour, a few wanted to give me some money as a reward, but I refuse it. And I asked them what is with that body there, and one man, who I healed his disease at the brain, he told me nobody knows who has done it, but hey swear that if they are able to catch the monster who done it, they will be throwing him in jail for good. Another villager, who I cured a disease, told me there has also been a murder yesterday, and they are trying to find the people who have done it.

Then I realize something, I came into this village, without my disguise on. The one Taka and Ulfred insisted on wearing it in public, I will probably get in a lot of trouble. But thankfully, I did tell them my fake name, which is still a good thing, but how I can explain to my teammates that I have left the house without my disguise and helping the villagers in need. While I was asking them about the man, the villagers reveled that they have thrown him into a hole and burned him since he has committed a crime earlier from hi death. Some they believe the one who murdered him are probably the one who he stole from it. But they do not know the truth, so it makes them sleep peacefully at night rather than staying awake and wait for an assassin to come at nights or worse, make us flee this village.

I am leaving this place, saying "Goodbyes" to the people there and heading back to my vacation home. While I was walking to that vacation house, I was checking around me to see if someone it is following me. but there is nobody who was doing such a thing.

When I come across the house, I opened the fence, walk on the road, then I go to the door, open it and there I got greeted by Ulfred who was leaving his room, I enter the house, close the door behind me and heading to the kitchen. Both of us greeted each other on the morning, and we sit on the table. Then Ulfred, he sighs and he asks me.

"You were outside?"

"Yes. And I am very sorry." I say to him. Ulfred is looking at me, with caution, and he asks me.

"Did you meet someone there?"

"A lot of people. I-I was going to see why they were all gathering there, an-and I saw there a corpse with a decapitated head."

"So Monica has done a kill last night." says Ulfred feeling guilty of this murder.

"What was that?"

"Monica, the Red Hood Assassin has come on this night." says Ulfred who then proceeds to tell everything about the encountering he had with the girls last night and how he killed her.
