To Be A Female Eminence in Shadow

Chapter 22

Life is back to normal. I came back doing my job as a mob. I don't have any targets(criminals) left so I can only act like this.

I occasionally go at the roof of the clocktower at night, but the only ones I see are robbers. They are also lousy that I only watch them until they get caught.

Even with the scandal about some of the higher ups at the Knight Order being a part of some large criminal organization, they are still doing a great job at keeping the public order. It can be easily chalked up as them showing off and trying to erase those bad rumors, but I think they are genuinely doing it because it is their job.

It only said higher ups are the ones colluding with criminals, not the lowly grunts on the Knight Order.

Anyway, every crime I saw are not qualified for my shadowbroker act. I'll just look like an idiot if I said some deep sounding quotes on the one they robbed. It won't even leave them confused, they will just think my persona as Shadow is crazy.

I have to maintain my image as a shadowbroker!

This is the capital. I want something like a group of bandits, or some crime lord. Maybe even a slave merchant? I want to fight those and say something about them being a part of some conspiracy!

Anyway, I'm sure some last boss character will appear sometime. This is the capital after all!

I also have to think about my own persona. I just noticed that even my plans as a shadowbroker doesn't fit my appearance. If I am as tall as Alpha, I might pull off the ideal female eminence in shadow.

But I am short. Well, not as small as Epsilon, but I am still short!

In fact, I'm surprised I managed to grow some sizes than Epsilon. She is more taller than me when I was twelve. Well, it might because I got a growth spurt or something? I recall people at age twelve grows quickly or something?

Anyway, I can't really do some of the cool stuffs that I thought. Sitting on a king sized chair will make me look ridiculous. If I tried to act like a big shot while sipping some high class wine, that will make me look like a child playing make-believe.

So I have been making some changes on my plans. This is also a good lesson for me because it shows me that even size matters too!

My class is already over because we didn't have a class for the Royal Bushin now. Since the time this kingdom learned that the sword instructor is part of a criminal group, it's popularity greatly declines and even the kingdom disowns this very technique. Now people are doing their own primitive styles again.

Well, there are still some schools out there. Though they are not as popular because they are rather complicated. For me they are showy and is barely practical for a fight.

I'm currently in the library on this school. I pick this place because it's quiet and people doesn't care what the others are doing. So I can write whatever I want here.

I usually go to the roof when I really want to do something while still on this school, but recently the princess and the president of her fanclub are always using it as a meeting point. So I decided to change locations.

While I was crossing out another cool plan from my bucket list, I felt someone sitting on my side. Of course I didn't really care because anyone can sit wherever they want.
