I'm back, people! Defense for the feasibility study is been over but we have major revisions to our paper! So to commemorate this, I will give you the latest chapter of Dumb Assassinations!
Disclaimer: see chap 1
Assassination way 7: Subaki, next time don't boast your perfection in front of others.
In a certain day in Askr Castle, we see a certain Wyvern Rider posing himself in the mirror. Narcien was looking in his reflection in a glorious way.
"I'm strong, I'm cleaver, I'm intelligent." He said to himself while looking in the mirror. "And most importantly, I'm perfect!"
Unknown to him, a certain male Pegasus Knight who was only passing by was stabbed comically and almost flinched.
"That!" Subaki clenched his javelin as he throw it to a random direction.
"Bastard!" He throws again.
"Pissed!" Another one.
"Me!" He got another from the pile of javelins.
"Off!" the javelin was thrown into the direction and it hit on the pole which has a poorly drawn Narcien posted as a target practice.
His fellow retainer Hana approached him. "Wow, Subaki. Perfect shot as always."
"I'm in a bad mood today, Hana." Subaki said. "That bastard hurt my perfection!"
"At least you're not like Virion." Hana shrugged it off. "Anyways, what's your problem with Narcien?"
"He think that he is a perfectionist! No offense but I heard from Clarine that he's shitty as a swine."
"I forgot. She encountered him." Hana pondered. "Let's asked her for-"
"No. I want to assassinate that bastard for ruining my perfection. "
"You know. I have a solution for that."
-Later-
"Hana?"
"Yes?"
"Why are we in Lord Roy's room?" Subaki asked as he and Hana are standing in front of the door of Roy's room.
"The Assassination Club has been gathered here." She explained. "But since all of them are focusing on the Tempest, the room is been closed."
"Wait a minute! Don't tell me that we are going to sneak into that room?"
"Bingo, Mr. Perfection!" Hana smiled, then she turned the knob of the door. "Ah! It's opened!"
"Oh dear." Subaki sighed.
The door opened and the two Hoshidans entered the room. It was awfully quiet and Hana found what she's looking for.
The list of assassinations was lying on the table besides the bed. Hana got the paper. "I got it!"
Subaki approached her. "Is that it?"
"Yup!" She answered. "Let's get out of here before anyone sees us."
-Two hours later, in Hana's room-
"What about this?" Hana suggested. "'Put a sugar onto the face cream and let the ants bit Zephy'? Lord Roy sure is very creative on assassinating the king."
"'Put a head lice on Berkut's head'?" Subaki read then shook his head. "It has a 'x' mark on it."
"Here it is!" Hana exclaimed. "The perfect assassination for Narcien!"
"Read it!" Subaki demanded.
-Hours later-
"Are you sure about this, Subaki?" Hana said.
"Yes. I'm sure." Subaki said, determination is written on his face, holding the bottle of shampoo very tight. "This shampoo will be the death of him."
"Good luck!"
"Narcien!"
"Oh!" said Wyvern General turned to see Subaki. "It's the only Male Peg Knight in the Order."
"At least, I'm not Valter." Subaki said sarcastically. "Anyways, I have a present for you." He handed the bottle of shampoo to Narcien. "This shampoo makes the hair very shiny. I know that you are very careful about your hair so-"
"Ah, I can't believe the you gave me, Narcien, a gift for my glourious hair." Narcien said dramatically that almost flinched Subaki in disgust. He didn't know that Narcien grab the bottle from his hand. "I will try this tonight! Thank you."
"Okay." Subaki said as he waved to the retreating Narcien. Hana came out of her hiding when the General is out of sight.
"What's the content of the shampoo, anyways?" Hana asked, confused.
"Just watch, Hana." Subaki grinned. "Just watch."
-Nighttime-
"Ah, my hair." Narcien said dramatically as he stoked his wet hair. He was using the shampoo that Subaki gave him. "That Pegasus Knight sure didn't lie about the shmpoo." He combed it with his hair anf looked at the mirror once more. "I am strong. I am cleaver. I am-" suddenly, a lone bug began to approached and landed on his hair. Narcien of course noticed it .
"Go away, you stupid bug!" He tried to shooed the bug away but more and more bugs began to approached him and it landed ion his hair.
There. Narcien began to scream.
Everyone was somehow disturbed from their nighttime work. Everyone is poking at their door and saw Narcien was running away, bugs are chasing after him.
"Bugs!"- Tiki.
"Close the door, guys!" -Klein warned, causing everyone to close the door. Narcien continued running until he was hit into a wall. The bugs sward him afterwards.
Subaki laughed like an idiot when Han told him the incident last night. "Just what did you put into that shampoo, anyway?" Hana asked to the laughing Peg Knight.
"Just some Oil that a certain bug loved. Those bugs really loved those."
Roy noticed that the list of assassination plans is somehow disappeared in his night table.
"Someone must stole it." Roy said then he sighed. "Oh well, since dad grounded me again, anyways."
Narcien was sent to the healer's tent afterwards. Narcien's head go bad like what happened to Berkut.
Zephiel had enough. He is going to take actions to sabotage Roy's assassination plans.
Put a oil into the shampoo and let the bugs swarm on (Zephiel's) head: FAILED (Subaki replaced Zephiel with Narcien so there is an undeline on Zephiel's name.)
And I'm done (I'm on the writer's block. It's so hard to type on the tablet.)
Anyways, I'm done with the feasib but I got finals to face afterwards. I will be update like before after the exams!
Another extra for this chapter!
-Omake-
"So, son of Gawain, you are starting to look like him." The Black Knight commented as he scanned Ike's new outfit from head to toe. "And you're using Urvan as your main weapon? Ha! Master Gawain will be rolling out of his grave when he finds out." And he laughs as he walking farther from the angry mercenary.
Ike, feeling that his dignity is somehow shattered a little, shouted at the retreating Knight. "SCREW YOU, ZELGIUS!"
"YOU TOO, SON OF GAWAIN!" The Black Knight shouted back.
Silence ensures afterwards.
"Guess I'll look for Roy." Ike said, leaving to search for the redhead.
As always, criticism is welcome!
