A Murderer From Another World

The Thief And The Cook

East side of Green Forest Nire'a.

"Hide yourself well, you useless dark shaman or else we will not be able to lure out those bandits."

Said by a petite looking girl. She has short mixed colored hair, the front part of her hair which splits evenly in the middle has golden blonde color. While the remaining part is all black. She has a shield on her back and a mace on her waist. She is at least 5'5 ft in height, and around 40 kg. She has cute little lips and nice pointy nose, she has beautiful wide eyes with yellowish pupil.

"I know, just be quiet, will you or else those bandits will notice that I'm here."

That voice came from her shadow. This girl is Sour, an adventurer whose on a quest to eliminate a group of bandits that are ambushing merchants in this forest. The one whose hiding on her shadow is the dark shaman Shin, this is one of his skills [Shadow Walk].

"Hey Sour! Something or someone is coming from behind, get ready!"

Sour turned around and saw a man wearing black and red long sleeves, trench-coat-like outfit approaching them.

"Whaa.. is that a human? He's moving way to fast! You said this quest is just a D rank?! You stupid son of a bitch! If I die here, I'll hunt you in your dreams stupid Shin!"

"Calm down, I'm already checking his level. By the way, if you die in a one on one match, I will never gonna come out here. You hear me, Sour?"

"Tch" Sour pulled out her shield and mace, ready for a fight. As the man approaches, he slowed down and put both of his hands up in the air.

"An assassin? Are you one of those Purple Blade Bandits? Answer me now or else I'll smash your face off!"

"Heyy~ Relax... I'm just here to ask some questions. I'm not here to fight. So can you please put your weapon down? And for your friend who's hiding, you can come out. Like what I said, I'm not here to fight."

Sour looked down as she stomp the ground where her shadow is.

"You useless dark shaman! How can you be detected that easily?!"

A figure of a man slowly came out from her shadow. He has cleaned cut black hair, around 5'7 ft and around 50 kg. He is covered with thick clothing and has a lot talisman on his waist. The most notable feature of his face is his forehead which is kinda huge.

"Whaat the.. he's only level 8! How.. like my skill [Shadow Walk] is a level 25 skill!."

Shipe touched his chin and tilted is head.

"Skill? I'm just level 8?! What the fuck?! Stupid loli god! You didn't even give me a high level body! And what are my skills? Fuck! I need to know those information. Maybe these two can help me out. I was planning to ask them by force but... it seems they have the level advantage. And I don't even know my skills."

He shook his head and looked at the two adventurer who are arguing with each other. He tried to break the argument because he needs information about a lot of things.

"Excuse me, but where is the nearest town or city that has a library from here?"

Both Sour and Shin stopped arguing and looked the suspicious looking man in front of them.

"Huh! You think you can fool us? You're oozing with killing intent and reeked of blood!"

Sour did not put her weapon and shield down, As for Shin, he hid behind Sour.

"Oh I see, is that the reason why you're on guard? No worries~ I'm just a murderer from another world. Just got transported like three or five minutes ago."
