Combat Maid Harem

When the bandit leader saw Aleshia swing her dagger, he immediately raised his short sword in front of his face to defend against her attack. Contrary to his expectation, it was a feint!

Aleshia twisted her arm and brought her attack to his abdomen. The bandit leader quickly moved his short sword to block her attack. And once again, to his disbelief, it was another feint!

"Hggh!"

The bandit leader grunted as he struggled to keep himself from breathing. Aleshia was clearly toying with him. He glanced at his bandit brothers, who were hesitating to help him. Fury immediately appeared in his eyes, and he snapped.

"If I'll die here today, I might as well take a beauty with me!"

The bandit leader pointed his short sword outward towards Aleshia and used his stomach as its support. He ran towards her without care anymore.

"Hahhhhhh!!"

With a battle cry, he swiftly arrived in front of Aleshia and pushed his short sword forward to stab into her body. But Aleshia was already expecting this, and she rolled down on the ground to avoid his fatal attack.

"F*ck!"

The bandit leader screamed, and by instinct, his lungs took in a lot of air. That included a lot of the poison gas that was still lingering in the air.

The bandit leader fell to the ground with a thud, passed out from the sleeping poison gas.

The other bandits waited for the wind to blow more of the poison gas away before releasing their hands on their noses and mouths.

"Avenge the boss!"

"Yeah!!" x13

All of the bandits ran towards her together. Their mouths were turned into a grin. Although they lost their leader, they could always appoint another one. And with one less person to share the wealth with, they would get more from this ambush.

"Heh, I like your confidence."

Aleshia sneered before she pulled another orb filled with green poison gas.

All of the bandits stopped in their tracks immediately and ran backward. But it was too late, they were all closely packed together, and they were very near Aleshia.

Aleshia threw the poison orb on the ground, breaking it, and the poison immediately scattered onto the surroundings. This time, the bandits hadn't been able to breathe in that much air, and they were still tired from their attempted attack.

Most of them tried to resist, but it was inevitable that they would not be able to resist the urge to breathe anymore. It was an instinct of their bodies to breathe in to not die from hypoxia. They all slowly fell to the ground one by one.

"I wasted so many credits…"

Aleshia looked at the broken pieces of glass on the ground in pain. She only had a few of those, and if she ended up using more for this journey, she would quickly run out of them.

Just a reminder, but the credits she was talking about were from the Blood Flower Assassin Organization. It was earned from completing missions, and with it, you could buy assassin-related stuff like these poison orbs that she just used.

"Aleshia! Are you okay?"

Lawrend hopped down from the carriage and approached her. His face was filled with worry as he looked at her.

"Thank you for your worry, Young Master, but I'm okay. I was just pained to use so many Sleeping Poison Orbs consecutively."

Aleshia had a despondent look on her face as she replied to Lawrend.

"Don't worry. I'll help you buy more next time."

Lawrend immediately responded with a kind smile on his face. If it could save their lives multiple times, he was very willing to spend some money on it.

"Hehehe, I was just joking, Young Master. Take this as my sincerity to be your maid."

Aleshia giggled at Lawrend's attempt to console her. She found it pretty cute of him to act like that.

"Ah, I-I see."

Lawrend didn't know how to respond to that, so he could only smile and nod at her forcefully. But deep down, it made him pretty happy that Aleshia was so sincere with him.

Even though Aleshia said that it was just a joke, it was true that it really pained her. But she didn't want to take advantage of Lawrend's kindness anymore. She wanted to show him that she could serve him without relying on him too much. It was just pride of her as an assassin.

"Do you want to turn around or watch?"

Aleshia asked Lawrend as she swung her dagger around to imply her meaning to him.

"I want to watch."

Lawrend immediately knew what she meant. She was basically telling him if he wanted to watch her kill them one by one.

As to why Lawrend wanted to watch her do it, he wanted to know if he would feel anything if he watched them all die one by one from Aleshia's hands.

"Young Master, you have some guts. I'll try to make it as clean as possible."

Aleshia praised Lawrend after seeing him nod his head. It hadn't been that long since Lawrend has killed somebody, but he was already this resilient. She was genuinely in awe of him.

Aleshia walked towards the bodies of the bandits slowly. She started at the bandit leader first. She lifted his head from the ground by grabbing onto his hair and slit his neck. Blood pooled on the ground, and the bandit leader slowly lost his life in his sleep.

Lawrend watched the bandit leader die in front of him, and just like before, he didn't feel anything. This time, Lawrend was sure that something inside him had changed. This must be what that other Lawrend was talking about when he said that he got a small part of him.

It sent shivers down Lawrend's spine. Just what happened, or who was that Lawrend that he was so cold towards life. Lawrend couldn't wrap his head around why someone would be like that.

"Aleshia, do you feel anything when you kill?"

Lawrend couldn't help but ask Aleshia in curiosity after arriving at his earlier thought.
