Chapter 183. An Awkward Encounter in a Public Washroom. (3/9)

“That guy out there, after today, will never get a hard-on again. He’ll just think that my words were true, that he experienced an orgasm so amazing that nothing can ever get him hard in the future again. Among assassins, my code name at the academy is Man Killer. I eat them up and spit them out. Once I’m done with them, they can never be a man again.” She whispered such dangerous words into my ear like a snake.

“Hey, would you like to play a little game?”

“A little game? What do you mean?”

“Well, you don’t have much of a choice. If you don’t play I’ll take my chances and plunge this knife in between your eyes to try and kill you. If you’re able to defend yourself then I can only blame myself. But I’m not that interested in killing in that manner. I much rather kill men in the most painful way. So how about we have a little competition to see if you can really survive thirty seconds?”

“Thirty seconds of what exactly?”

“What else, silly~ a blob on from me. If you can last I will forget about trying to kill you. I’ll even become obedient to you if you win.”

“And why would you do that when the academy is offering a bountiful reward with me as the target?”

“Well, first of all, I have no idea what the clear condition is. Also, the penalty of failing this mission is very steep. It’s so steep that everyone in the academy didn’t dare bother with it. The good news for you is that I’m actually the only one who signed up for this stupid vague mission. I figured even if I don’t aim for the reward, the fact that Rosa, the daughter of the untouchable king was dating you, there had to be more to you than meets the eye. That’s what I was thinking.”

“I see. If I lose though, what happens?”

“Then I’ll use my poison mixed into my saliva to turn you impotent.”

“If it’s mixed into your saliva won’t I become impotent the second I accept?”

“Well, you see, my body is a bit unique, one of a kind in fact. I was actually genetically modified at birth as part of illegal human experimentation. I have a special organ unique to me that allows my body to create a special poison that can turn men impotent. Once this poison enters a man’s urethra, it spreads throughout the cells and obstructs their ability to allow blood to flow into them. They effectively lose their sponginess which allows them to inflate with blood.”

“A special organ unique to you?” I couldn’t help but repeat her words.

She moved her head back and stuck her tongue out. When I saw her tongue I was taken aback.

It split in three. The middle was quite narrow, it looked like it could fit into a man’s urethra. She was moving the three parts of her tongue in different directions fully displaying how much control she had over it. It was split all the way to the back of her tongue. She was able to line them up perfectly for it to appear as though it was a single tongue.

“The middle one is where the poison is secreted from in case you were wondering.”

I gulped nervously at the thought of it.

“I can freely control when I secrete it though so I don’t just go and turn every man impotent. I can select and choose. So~ as long as you last thirty seconds~ I won’t use that poison on you. In fact, as a reward for lasting thirty seconds… I’ll permit you to do something even better afterward.” She licked her lips seductively.

“Something… better.”

“I said I’d be once obedient to you.”

“As an assassin who targets cheaters, don’t you detest cheaters?”

“Huh? Who said I hate them? I specialized in targeting cheaters because cheaters turn me on like crazy.”

“...” What was I supposed to say? I was cornered. She didn’t give me any room to escape. There was nowhere to run nor hide, my life was in danger. She had a knife right in front of me, if she moved it forward just a little I’d be cut. I could really die.

What was it that Rosa’s father said before? Something about seduction? Seducing an assassin? Go to hell! There’s no chance that’s going to happen when she’s the one trying to seduce me!

“Since you’re not saying anything, I guess I have permission.” She lowered her body while grinding hers up against mine l until she was on her knees.

When she placed the hand without the knife on my zipper I threw caution to the window. I grabbed it and said, “I refuse. If you want to kill me so badly, go right ahead.”

“Oh? And why is that?” She looked up at me with half-open eyes and asked.

“You’re mistaken if you think I’m someone great. I’m just a normal civilian. There isn’t anything special about me at all. Rosa only started dating me because she wanted to experience a normal romance in high school. As for drawing blood from her father, he set me up. He’s extremely petty and for certain reasons, he did so just to cause trouble for me. He could have avoided it when I tried to cut him, but he intentionally let me just graze his cheek.”

“Oh? And why are you suddenly telling me all this?”

“You should lose interest in me if I reveal the truth, no? That thing about being obedient to me, that’s because you’re under some false pretenses. Look, this game you set up is meaningless.”

“Why would I stop now though? Even if you say no, now that I know you’re a completely normal civilian I can easily force things without worry. If you try to resist, I will just kill you.”

“Then do it. Kill me.”

Her eyes shot open and she said, “I’m being serious, I will kill you.”

“That’s fine.”

“Are you so afraid of becoming impotent that you’d rather die?”

“No, I’m not afraid that I’d lose to you in this little competition at all. I just don’t want to become a piece of shit who can cheat on his girlfriend without feeling anything. I’d rather die than sink to that level. Thus, kill me.”

I grabbed her hand with the knife and pulled her up to her feet pressing the sharp edge of the blade against my neck while looking her directly in the eyes. This was a gamble I was taking. I didn’t believe her words. I held doubt. She was trying to deceive me, that was what my instincts told me. She lied about one thing. That one thing being...

“You lied, didn’t you? About not despising cheaters and finding them attractive.” I asked her head-on.

“Haaaaah. You’re quite sharp. You’re not wrong. I truly do hate all cheaters.”

“I figured as much.”

“So you realized if you went through with it that I would have killed you anyway?”

“It was just a gamble.”

“A gamble that you seem to have won. Are you really just a normal civilian like you said? Or were you just trying to make me lower my guard so I wouldn’t immediately try to kill you when you grabbed my hand with the knife and pulled me up to my feet?”

“It’s not like I’ve won that gamble yet. If I say something wrong, you’ll still kill me, won’t you?”

“Maybe~ maybe not~ that all depends on you~”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Hey, are you just dating Rosa?” She suddenly blasted me with that question.

It was a question that would definitely decide my fate here. 

Do I lie? 

Or tell the truth? 

To deceive, or not to deceive, that is the question.

What was the correct choice? Logically speaking, it was natural to lie here… but, was that truly the path to survival? Why would she ask me this question in the first place? To catch me off guard? Did she actually know the answer already? Was she testing me? Testing whether or not I would be able to figure out if she already knew the answer or not?

No, maybe she figured it out just by how long it took me to respond. If I hesitated to answer which I did, she’d assume the answer was no. Then… I could only be truthful now since it was already too late to lie.

“I am… not romantically involved with only her.”

“Oh~ so you’re a hypocritical cheater then?”

“Yes, I am. So if you want to kill me for that, please go ahead.”

As soon as I finished my words, I shut my eyes and awaited my fate.
