The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman Chapter 848
“···A will?”
Raon’s eyes widened as he looked at the paper in Cheryl’s hand.
‘What a will…’
Did Master even know that he was going to die?
I thought Rimmer’s last words were ‘Be happy…’, but I didn’t know he left a separate will…
When I thought that he might have known about his death, my heart started pounding violently.
“What do you do when a guy who has reached the transcendent level can’t manage his facial expressions like that?”
Cheryl smiled with her chin slightly raised.
“I didn’t give it to you before this mission, but I prepared it a long time ago…”
“ah····”
Raon looked at the paper and let out a low sigh.
“But it’s not because of me that this paper is yellow. This damn bastard wrote it carelessly and gave it to me.”
Cheryl shook off the yellow paper with her hand, saying she didn’t know Rimmer’s personality.
“I know·”
Raon nodded…
There was no way someone like Cheryl could have had a rough copy of Rimmer’s will…
The paper must have been yellow like that from the beginning because it must have been stored carefully so as not to get even a speck of dust.
-He even leaves a dirty will. He is truly a consistent person.
Lars let out a laugh, saying, “You’re such a boring guy.”
“Would you like to watch it together?”
Raon asked Cheryl as he received Rimmer’s will.
“no·”
Cheryl shook her head as resolutely as a blade.
“If you look at the fact that he left a will to you, it probably has nothing to do with me… That’s the kind of guy he is…”
She turned away, saying that she could not ignore Rimmer’s thoughts.
“···All right·”
Raon nodded and opened the paper Rimmer left behind.
Tuk·
A piece of paper folded into a square fell out from inside the letter. I picked it up, held it in my hand, and looked at its contents.
When I saw Rimmer’s unique light handwriting, I felt like my heart was tightening.
[If this letter is delivered to you, it means I’m dead, right? I don’t know how he died, but don’t be sad for long. For elves, death isn’t that sad. Since they become the world’s mana and return to the embrace of nature. We’ll meet again someday. There’s a similar saying for humans, right?]
He also wrote a story about reorganizing the house in his pre-written will.
Although others may not know, he seemed to have no great regrets about his own death.
[It’s a will… Actually, I don’t have any words to leave as a will! There are a few things that come to mind, but I won’t say them…]
Rimmer was complaining that he would not leave a will in his will. I could picture in my head the mischievous expression he must have been making when he wrote this letter.
[The reason for not leaving a will is simple. I don’t want to be a burden on the children. I will take my wishes with me. Just smile and live happily.]
He drew a picture that seemed to symbolize smiling eyes, telling him to smile and not be too sad even if he died.
[Then you might be wondering why I gave this will to Cheryl. It was because I asked a favor.]
I took a short breath as I looked at the words “please.”
[Find some money from my personal safe at Vares Bank and buy me some snacks and toys… Take it to the address below… You’ll find out what to do when you get there…]
Rimmer left a message asking for the safe number and the password to open the safe.
“····”
Raon chewed his lips while memorizing the code for the safe.
[P.S. 1· If my body is still intact, don’t bury it, but burn it and blow it away with your wind, because I want to watch the wind storm from anywhere…]
Glenn wanted to bury Rimmer in Sieghard’s grave, but since he wanted to, he thought he would have to be cremated.
“after····”
Raon let out a short breath and lowered his gaze to the second P.S.
[P.S. 2· Give the note in the letter to Cheryl· And visit her sometimes and play with her· She is weaker than she looks·]
Rimer ended his will by telling her to take care of Cheryl. It felt more like a letter than a will.
-This is truly a will worthy of him…
Lars lowered his gaze to the ground, saying that although it was light, it contained deep consideration.
“Lord Heavenly Sword…”
Raon held out the note he was holding in his hand to Cheryl.
“This is said to be a letter left for Cheryl.”
“To me····”
Cheryl chewed her lip and took the letter with trembling hands as if she had made a decision.
“eww····”
As soon as she saw the first sentence of the note, she bit her lip. It seemed like she was trying to hold back her emotions, but tears eventually fell.
“What does it say?”
“···it is a secret·”
Cheryl said she didn’t want to tell and held the note preciously in her arms.
“okay·”
Raon nodded. As Cheryl said, there were memories and stories that she wanted to keep, so it was understandable that she didn’t tell them.
-Gu, I’m curious…
Lars said he was curious and craned his neck to read Cheryl’s note.
‘don’t do it·’
Raon sighed and grabbed Lars by the tail and dragged him down.
“Raon, because you are carrying on that guy’s will, always…”
Cheryl looked at herself and chewed her lip.
‘I guess it means don’t lose…’
I steeled myself because I felt like I was going to be told not to lose or not to fall.
But Cheryl’s words were different…
“Take your time and smile, because if you’re serious about everything like you are now, you won’t be able to use your strength.”
She drew a thin smile, telling me to take my time and laugh even if I wasn’t a fool like Rimmer.
“···Yes I will·”
I thought I knew why Cheryl told me to smile, so I nodded calmly.
“Just one more…”
Cheryl turned around again before leaving.
“Are you going to take revenge?”
“I have to…”
Raon nodded… Now I really can’t live under the same sky as Derus…
Even if I die, even if my soul is destroyed, I will stop Derus’ plan and cut off his head.
“I’ll be with you then…”
Cheryl left, saying she would go with him no matter what.
“····”
Raon carefully folded Rimmer’s will as he watched the sinking dawn.
* * *
As soon as morning came, Raon took Dorian and headed to the Barres Bank that Rimmer had told him about.
“Why are you going to the bank over there?”
Dorian blinked, saying he had all the money.
“Master left a favor…”
He talked about what happened yesterday and pointed to the bank in front of him.
“Well, is it okay to do something like that with a guy like me? I am····”
Dorian backed away, saying he was not qualified.
“That’s why I came…”
Raon grabbed Dorian’s wrist and shook his head.
The entire Gwangpungdae is having a hard time due to Rimmer’s death, but the one who suffers the most is Dorian.
Even after listening to his and Glenn’s advice, his depression has not yet resolved…
“Let’s go in…”
Raon dragged Dorian into the bank.
“It’s Raon!”
The security guard standing at the entrance opened his eyes in surprise and asked what was going on.
“I came to check my personal safe…”
“Could you tell me the number of the safe?”
“It’s number 4478-3…”
He told me the number of the safe written in Rimmer’s will.
“It’s number 4…”
The security guard said there was nothing he could do here and took him and Dorian to the innermost room of the bank.
“Mr. Bank President, I am a guest visiting vault number 4478-3.”
With those words, he closed the door to the bank president’s office and went out.
“I heard the story…”
A large middle-aged man called the bank president stood up from his chair.
“I don’t know what to say about this unexpected news.”
He also bowed his head with sorrowful eyes, as if he had formed a relationship with Rimmer.
“What is your relationship with Master?”
Raon bowed his head to the bank president.
“Let’s go first…”
The bank president said he would talk as he went and extended his hand toward the gray safe behind him.
Wooooow!
The door of the safe that his hand touched opened, and a dimensional passage leading to another space opened.
There were countless doors on the left and right of the endless hallway, and numbers starting with 4 were written on them.
This seemed to be the dimension where Vault 4 was gathered…
“Safes that start with the number 4 are connected not by people, but by numbers and passwords. Even if you are not the one who opened the safe, anyone can open it if you know the number and password.”
The bank president smiled slightly, saying that Safe No. 4 is used in many ways.
“Then can you tell me the password to safe 4478-3?”
I stood in front of the door with 4478 written on it and nodded.
“hmm····”
Raon did not speak right away, but only pursed his lips.
“····”
The bank president seemed to know what he was feeling and waited without saying anything.
“young master?”
Dorian blinked at Raon as if he didn’t really know what was going on.
“Whoa…”
Raon let out a long sigh as if the earth was falling apart and raised his head.
“5 Training hall·”
With his eyes upright, he told me the code for the safe written in Rimmer’s letter.
“ah····”
Dorian’s lips trembled as if he had finally realized why Raon had not spoken.
“I met Mr. Rimer on the first day I joined this bank. Luckily, I was in charge of him.”
The bank president shook his head as he entered the password into the safe.
“As an elf with no material desires, at first he just left the money to me and had no interest at all. He never changed his password and it was always the same. He was the best customer for the bank.”
He smiled thinly as if recalling old memories.
“However, it was different after Mr. Rimer’s subordinates died in the war. He went into hiding, then suddenly appeared, looked at the money in the safe for a while, and then passed away. A few days later, he withdrew 100 gold coins for the first time, and after that, he often took money. “You’re gone.”
The bank president let out a short sigh, saying it was a drastic change.
“At that time, the password to the safe was changed so often that it made me dizzy. It was someone’s name, a date, or something I didn’t know.”
He chewed his lip, saying that even from the side, Rimmer’s emotions and mind seemed unstable.
“However, things have changed since he took over as an instructor at Training Center 5. The gloomy look in his eyes disappeared, and he was filled with a new sense of leisure and vitality. The code called Training Center 5, which was decided at that time, has not changed to this day.”
The bank president said he had a pleasant smile on his face and grabbed the safe doorknob.
“Passwords or passwords are originally made up of numbers and letters that you cannot forget and that you want to remember, and that is what the 5 training hall means to Rimmer.”
The bank president opened the door to the safe, muttering that it was more valuable than anyone else.
Coooooo!
The enchanted iron door opened, revealing a safe filled with gold and silver coins and jewels.
It was hard to believe that it was the safe of Rimer, who was always struggling because he had no money.
“Is this the commander’s…?”
5 Dorian, who was in tears when he heard the code for the training hall, opened his mouth wide.
“····”
Raon looked inside the safe for a moment, then took 10 gold coins and came out.
“It’s similar to what he took…”
The bank president smiled as if he knew that would happen and closed the safe door.
“Then I’ll be waiting for you to visit next time.”
He lowered his head, erasing the dimension leading to the safe.
“Thank you in many ways…”
Raon said hello to the bank president and left the bank.
“What are you going to do with that money?”
“They told me to buy toys and snacks…”
“uh? I have it all…”
“For now, let’s do as we are told…”
I took Dorian, who was anxious because he wanted to use his own pocket, and bought toys, snacks, and ice cream and headed to the address given by Rimer.
It was the outskirts of a medium-sized village outside the walls of Sieghard Castle, and a building with an impressive red roof was visible inside the low walls.
‘orphanage?’
Raon’s eyes widened as he saw the name Slann Orphanage written on the doorplate.
I wondered if he had children of his own, but the place Rimmer sent them to was an orphanage that protects children who have lost their parents or been abandoned…
“uh?”
“Is the red-haired guy here?”
“no! “It’s a blonde you don’t know!”
“Ugh!”
Five or six-year-old children who were looking up at the wall screamed and entered the building.
“W-what is it?”
“···I do not know either·”
While Raon was blinking, a middle-aged man with a sad expression walked out from inside the orphanage building.
“you! “I told you not to treat customers rudely!”
He lightly tapped the backs of the children hiding behind him.
“I didn’t say anything!”
“I just said she was blonde…”
“I was just waiting for the redhead!”
The children shook their heads left and right, saying they had done nothing wrong.
“anyway·”
The middle-aged man sighed and approached Raon.
“I knew you would come, Raon.”
He looked at Raon’s eyes, head, and the toys and snacks in his hands and bowed his head heavily.
“if····”
“Yes, this is the Slann orphanage that Rimmer regularly supports.”
The middle-aged man lowered his head and said that he was the director of this orphanage.
“Boo, the deputy head sponsored an orphanage? Oh, come to think of it! “There was a story like that before!”
Dorian clapped his hands, saying he had finally remembered it.
“I thought it was just a rumor because it disappeared after that…”
“It’s not a rumor… Gwangpungdae… No, because you all supported us long before you became a prosecutor… And that’s in succession…”
The orphanage director smiled and said that he was a great person.
“What does it mean to connect people?”
“When I was growing up in this orphanage, a Sieghardt prosecutor named Slann came every week to play with us and support us. After Slann died in the war, Rimer came to visit and played with the children instead of Slann, and helped us in many ways. “You provided support with…”
He smiled forlornly, saying that the reason the orphanage was able to be kept so clean was because of Rimmer.
“Then the name Slann Orphanage…”
“Rimer changed it…”
The director of the orphanage nodded, saying it was something everyone agreed on.
“okay·”
Raon bit his lip and looked away, then made eye contact with the children who were looking in this direction.
“Don’t the children know?”
“Rimer didn’t say his name, but was called Red-Haired Brother. I think he didn’t want to make anyone sad by hearing his name.”
The director of the orphanage chuckled and said that he was like that when he was young.
“Of course, the big guys who know the situation are hiding in the corner and crying so as not to show off to those kids… Of course, I too…”
He shook his head, still in disbelief.
“····”
Raon raised his hands and covered his eyes.
‘I never thought I would be doing something like this…’
I had no idea that there was that kind of money in Rimmer’s coffers or that he was sponsoring an orphanage. It seemed like there were so many different sides to people.
“Can I give the children a gift?”
“Sure·”
The orphanage director said welcome and opened the way.
Raon carefully approached the children and opened the lid of the box of beaded ice cream he had brought.
“Do you want to eat together?”
“eww····”
The children were wary of people they saw for the first time, but they swallowed their saliva while looking at the ice cream.
“It’s okay…”
The orphanage director smiled slightly and nodded, and the children came out and took ice cream one by one.
“I’ll eat well!”
“thank you for this food!”
The children laughed as they swallowed a mouthful of ice cream.
“What does this ice cream taste like?”
“What is your name?”
The children seemed to have let down their guard by giving them ice cream, and started talking softly.
“That’s mint chocolate… I call you Ra… No, I call you blonde hyung…”
Raon did not reveal his name, but said that he had blonde hair like Rimmer.
“uh? “Are you my red-haired friend?”
“When is the redhead coming?”
The children seemed to be waiting for Rimmer and approached them, asking when he would come.
“for a moment····”
Raon smiled while stroking the children’s heads.
“I went on a trip…”
Perhaps Rimmer’s travels will return to the hearts of these children when they become adults.
As I learned more about Rimmer, the sadness frozen in my heart seemed to melt a little.
“Umm…”
Dorian also seemed to have calmed down and held back his tears with his lips pressed down.
He may have left his last will for this…
Raon felt the wind flowing gently and drew Rimmer’s unique relaxed smile.
* * *
The vacant lot in front of the dungeon where Raon cut down Sif with the Sword of Transcendence.
Jerbuk·
The sound of sharp shoes is heard over the broken and broken land.
A man in a black robe, seemingly wrapped in darkness, picked up a blood-soaked feather and chewed his red lips.
“This is the place…”
Derus Robert · His voice filled with deep anger made the shadow assassins tremble all over as if they were vomiting blood ·
“Even if I have to turn my soul upside down, I will find out everything that happened here…”
