After I said goodbye to father, I put on the Crow Cloak.
Although Crow Cloak could only be useful in the dark, I also often used Crow Cloak as a cloak to hide my identity.
In addition to wearing the Crow Cloak, I also wore a cognitive mask.
For the past few months, I always used both before going out and it had become a habit for me.
I left the house through the hole I usually used, because if I went outside, the workers here would recognize me as a suspicious person and end up getting caught.
That's why I kept wearing the Crow Cloak and Cognitive Mask today.
After coming out, after a long time I was finally able to see the outside world during the daytime.
I couldn't do it because I was always busy with many things but today even though I was still busy but at least I could breathe some fresh air.
After that I walked to my usual place, and entered the headquarters. When I entered, all the members had gathered.
"Looks like you guys have gathered."
"You took so long, boss~"
"Frum! How dare you speak like that to Mr. Ravendor."
"Why~"
As usual, Johan and Frum were always bickering over strange things.
I gave Frum a serious look, and Frum became serious too.
"Are the preparations all ready?"
"Of course, I've prepared all the necessities needed for the war this time."
"Good, then we'll have a meeting for the last time before the mission begins."
I and the rest of the members began to report every detail of what was ready and what was not.
"It looks like there's nothing wrong. Then, it's time for me to give you something."
I took an object from my bag and placed it in front of everyone.
"Mouth mask?"
What I put in front of everyone was a black mouth mask with a smiley crescent moon shape.
"Wear this mask, it's a mask developed by Frum."
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Frum.
"Well, I'd be embarrassed if you guys looked at me like that."
Frum who was being stared at by everyone became embarrassed and blushed.
"Why are you blushing, explain quickly."
"Eh~ should I?"
*Nod*
"Haa..."
Frum looked lazy but he instantly changed as he took the mouth mask.
"Even though the boss said I developed this, my role is very small because the boss is the one who came up with the idea."
Frum then picked up a paper containing a blueprint of the mouth mask's creation.
"As you can see, this mask is different from common masks because it has the same unique features as the boss' face!"
Instantly, everyone's previously curious faces turned into awe.
"That's amazing!"
"I didn't think you could make such a great thing."
(For some reason I felt like I was being insulted.)
"The boss wants you to use this tool while performing your duties as Umbra Vitae members."
"Then what is the use of this crescent-like shape?"
Mikael then pointed out the crescent shape on the mouth of the mask. Mikael asked me and Frum.
I looked at Frum, I didn't know anything about this anyway.
"Ah, that's our symbol."
"Symbol?"
"What did you think when you saw this crescent shape?"
"""""Ah!""""
Simultaneously everyone except me remembered something.
"Is this..."
"That's right! It's the boss's signature horrible smile."
(Horrible???)
"Isn't it very suitable as our symbol?"
"Wait a minute-"
"Who agrees?"
As I tried to stop the arbitrary creation of the symbol. Frum asked for a vote from everyone.
"Me!"
"Hmm."
"I agree."
""We both agree.""
(Eh?)
"Since everyone agrees. Then from today onwards, this smiling crescent symbol is our symbol!"
(Ehhhh....)
...
After the strange incident a moment ago. We all started moving according to our plan, after the sun started to fall.
I was currently in the alley closest to the Thorn Spider's base.
"Can you hear my voice?"
I spoke while using a device that Frum had developed. A device that had a mechanism similar to a smartphone on earth.
"Yes~ I can hear the boss's voice~"
"Hmm..."
"I can hear your voice too."
""We both hear!""
"I can hear Mr. Ravendor's voice."
"If you have heard, then we will carry out according to the plan after the sun has completely set."
"""""Okay!""""""
I then closed the device. Since this tool is still a trial, there are still many flaws, one of which consumes a lot of the user's mana.
"Master..."
As I waited for the sun to set, Nifl appeared out of the sword I was carrying.
"What's wrong?"
"Is it really okay to bring big brother with you?"
From her voice, it seemed like Nifl was worried about my safety.
"Take it easy, Nifl. I'll take care of scum like them quickly. Besides, I'm in great shape today."
By the time I calmed Nifl down, the sun had already begun to set.
"Time for the garbage cleaning to begin."
...
As the sun set, I moved straight into the back door of the Thorn Spider headquarters.
These people were criminals who had committed many unforgivable sins. I must kill them, for the sake of Mr. Ravendor!
When I opened the door, I saw a man who was guarding but he seemed to be exhausted.
I immediately used the technique Mr. Ravendor taught me, the cat's paw. I then stood right behind the man and stabbed the man with the knife while covering the man's mouth so as not to make a sound.
"Hhhmmmmphhhmmmmm!!!!"
The man looked in great pain, which was natural since I was using a drug that gave immense pain on contact with blood.
After a few minutes, the man died a very disgusting death.
"Just like that it's already pee, how embarrassing."
"When I first tasted the poison, I was also in great pain but Mr. Ravendor who received more poison didn't even show any expression! Mr. Ravendor is so amazing!"
As I expressed my happiness in serving Mr. Ravendor, it seemed like many people came after hearing my loud voice.
"Well, what can I do. This way it will save me time anyway. That way I can meet Mr. Ravendor as soon as possible!"
Then I took out my sword from the scabbard.
"I really don't want to expose Mr. Ravendor's sword to your unclean blood but what can I do if it's for Mr. Ravendor's noble cause!"
With that shout, Johan with blazing blue eyes lunged at the dozens of Thorn Spider members.
That day was the day history truly changed for the first time. The hero who should have been pure and holy had completely turned dark and dirty.
