BRAGR) Assassination? Part 2 (Patreon)

“Slow down and tell me exactly what happened,” Derrick replied. So I began telling him in detail and sent him a video of the things. After that, he went silent for a few minutes before saying, "Why is the woman in the maid outfit giving me the peace sign?”

“Ignore her; she is a defective product. At any rate, do not open any packages that you get that you have no idea what they are. Destroy them, or better yet, send them to me, and I can have Hilde take care of it.”

 “Master, it’s not nice to tell me to do things after calling me defective.” Hilde cried out in a monotone voice as she lay on the floor with her upper body propped up as if she had been pushed down. She looked up at me while biting her lower lip, weeping in such a fake manner that it was kind of funny.

“Get up. You know I didn’t mean it.” I said with a chuckle.

Hilde stands up, adjusts her maid uniform, and acts like she has not just gone all drama queen on me. “Master what should I do with this?”

 “Is it possible to deactivate one of them? I will stick it in my inventory and see exactly what it is.” I respond. This was actually Derrick’s idea.

“It is possible,” Hilde responds finally acting normally. “Master I always act normally.”

“Do not read my mind!” I cried out and held my head. I hear a soft chuckle on the other side of the line. It seems Angel’s father found this to be quite amusing.

I watch as Hilde waves her hand extracting one of the mini robots from the barrier and then taps it causing it to stop moving altogether. She then hands it to me which I promptly stick into my inventory. It is there that I finally egt an idea of what exactly we are dealing with.

[Mini Obliterate]

[Rarity]: Rare

[Level]: 400

[A robot made with magi craft, it cannot be found anywhere but in the upper worlds. It is usually crafted in batches and can only be programmed to attack one target.]

“Upper world? Level 400!?” I cry out. I couldn’t help it since this description was just too strange. I look at Hilde for answers but she only shakes her head.

“Master, once you are at a higher level I can explain things. But just know that these low-level things are no threat to you while I am here.” Hilde’s response tells me she knows about the upper world and also tells me she is much stronger than I had originally thought. But one thing does puzzle me.

“Hilde, you have never seen these before? Actually are you really a golem?” It just feels like she is far from being a golem.

“I am a golem. I am just something that is much more advanced is all. I can not say more than this. If I do say more then I might be forcefully sent back. So please wait until you are at a higher level. I can however promise this. I will protect you with my life.” Things are getting strange but there is nothing I can do about it if Hilde can’t speak of it. Who she really was and why she answered my summons I do not know. But from the looks of it, I can trust her for now.

“Did you get all of that?” I asked Derrick who had been quiet all this time.

“Yes, I did. Can I have that magi craft thing? I want to run some tests on it and see if I can make replicas of it. I will also try to see if I can send people out to investigate this company. Something bigger than we could have ever expected is going on and I think they are targeting you since like you said, things are speeding up and they might have something to do with you.

“Also, I now own the entire surrounding area. It was a hell of an expense, but I know it will be worth it. I already began settling the area you also said the dungeon will spawn in. It will be gated starting tomorrow morning.” Derrick really worked fast. A small smile formed on my lips hearing this.

“That’s really good news. Thank you.” I replied in earnest. Without his help, none of this would have been possible until the first monster outbreak.

“You are my daughter’s girlfriend. You are basically family now so do not worry about the small things.” My eyes widened. I do wonder when the little minx had time to tell her father we were dating.

“Either way I still need to say thanks. I know this is a lot of work for you. I promise to use my dreams as a means of surviving all of this. That means you and Angel as well.” I had to protect my family after all. The idea of family is a little strange to me but I know Derrick is a good man especially how he is so willing to accept someone like me. And Angel… well she’s a pink-haired thing. She attached herself to me first.

“Alright. I will let you go. I will send someone over in the morning. Have that crazy maid of yours protect you and my daughter while you are in game.” And with that, he hung up. I saw Hilde pouting at the side. I guess she doesn’t like being called crazy. But with her antics… It’s hard to say.

“I heard that.”

“Stay out of my thoughts!”
