TEMP location for SS Raws/Day 139 An assassin's point of view

RAW



【暗殺者視点：百三十九日目】  我々【ヤッテ・ヤル・ンデス】は金さえ貰えば、暗殺だろうが強盗だろうが密輸だろうが何でもこなす、ヒトの欲望が渦巻く裏の世界を生きる組織の一つだ. そこそこ長い歴史を持ち、他の組織と比べて遥かに高い依頼達成率と、充実した装備に人材. それにもしミスしても、奥歯に仕込んだ精神汚染型マジックアイテムによって自我と記憶を消失させて情報を隠匿し、それに加えて体内に埋め込んだ爆弾型マジックアイテムによって高確率で標的を巻き添えにする事から、裏の世界で名が通り、一定以上の信用を得ている.

今回の依頼も、王国王女の周囲を飛び回るハエの駆除、と普段と大差ないものだった. 集めた情報から、標的は正面からだと殺せるか分からない程の難敵だと判明している. しかし闇から近づく我々の前では呆気なく殺されるだけの存在だ. 例え強者といえど、音もなく気配もなく近寄る我らに、気付く前に屍を晒すだろう. これまでがそうであり、これからもそうなり続ける.

――そう思っていた時期が、俺にもありました.

作戦前に、依頼人から知らされた王女の宮殿の構造情報から、標的への最短ルートを割り出した. 暗殺実行時には、同時に行われた工作によって、我々は誰にも見つかる事なく宮殿へと侵入した. 巡回している衛兵達が居なくなる隙間を狙ったので、周囲に人の気配はない. 後は夜明け前の薄闇に紛れて近づき、殺すだけ. 準備も万全、引き連れた仲間も腕利きばかりで、装備は最高の品を用意した. 隠密効果を上昇させる“サイレントキャット”製の黒衣、消音性の高い“カクメダリオン”の革を使用した靴、大型モンスターすら掠るだけで悶絶死させる“ターミネートマンバ”の毒液を塗布した艶消しのナイフ. その他にも全身至る所に毒を塗布した暗器を仕込み、多数のマジックアイテムで身体能力を向上させている. これだけ整えられた状況と、最高の装備があって依頼を失敗するなど考えられなかった.

だが、振り返れば予兆はあったのだ. それを見逃していただけで、確かにそれはあったのだ. そして気が付かなかった我々は、当然の様にその報いを受ける.

――狩る側なのは我々ではなく、アチラ側だったのだ.

我々は壊滅した.

宮殿の客室. もっとも警備が堅牢な王女の寝室より遥かに手前にある目的地に何とかたどり着いた時には、既に俺だけしか残ってはいなかった. 他の皆は、死んでいった. 理解できなかった. プロである俺達ですら察知できなかったトラップが、ここに来るまでの短い通路に、それこそ数十以上も設置されていたのだ.

通路を進む. 前触れなく、突如開く床. 回避する間もなく落下して、暗闇に消えていった仲間は、再び閉ざされた床によって生死不明になった.

隠されたスイッチを踏む. 不可視の何かによって体を切断された者がいた. 血によって凶器は極小の糸で編まれたネットだと分かった. サイコロの様になった肉片に混じり、呆然とした表情を浮かべる仲間の顔がコチラを向いている.

慎重に歩みを進める. 何ら変哲の無い人物画が飾られた壁が、まるでスライムの様に動き、仲間を一瞬で飲み込んだ. 待ち伏せした蜘蛛の様に機敏な動きを見せた壁は、飾られた人物画に血の涙を流させ次を待つ、前を通る者を待ち受ける狩猟者だった.

見え見えのトラップを回避した先にある、隠されたスイッチを踏む. 高速で飛来する矢. 身を捻り、飛び退き、なんとかそれを回避した、かと思えば逃げた先の床は粘着性の高い液体が塗布されていたのだろう. 足を絡め取られて動けなくなった仲間を助ける間もなく、追撃の矢が全方位から降り注いだ. まるでハリネズミの様になった仲間は悲鳴を上げ、しかし恐ろしいのはその後だ. 矢には毒が塗られていたのだろう、生きたまま皮膚や骨や内臓がグズグズと溶かされて、吐き気がする程の臭気を発しながら死に絶えた.

その他にも無数のトラップによって仲間は一人また一人と居なくなり. 地獄だった. かつて経験した事の無い地獄があった. これまでの経験など、知識など最早意味を成さなかった.

待ち構える凶悪なトラップ. それを回避した先に設置された極悪のトラップ. 更に回避した先に設置された確殺のトラップ.

これ程厳重なモノなど、大貴族の屋敷ですら見たことがない.

素顔を隠し、精神状態を一定から変動させなくする仮面が無ければ、俺は動くことすらできなくなっていただろう. 発狂していた、と言ってもいい. トラップの悪辣さを理解した時点で退避も考えたが、気が付いた時には退避する事は既に不可能だった. ある程度進めば、最早進むしか道が残されていなかったのだ. 少しでも躊躇えば、動く事を止めれば、そうした者達から死んだ. 容赦なく殺されていった. だから俺は走り抜けた. 仲間達の屍を越えて、俺だけが標的に到達したのだった.

標的を前に思うことは単純だ. 殺してやる. 絶対に殺してやる. 殺されても、体内の爆弾で道連れにしてやる.

その覚悟で標的に挑み、しかし即座に砕かれた. 何をされたのかは分からない. が、標的が銀腕をコチラにかざした次の瞬間、身体の自由を奪われた. 意思はハッキリとしているが、最早指一本も動かせない. 失敗した、最早挽回する事などできそうにない、と理解すると共に奥歯に仕込んだマジックアイテムを発動させ、爆弾のタイマーを起動させた. 奥歯のマジックアイテムは即座に効果を発揮して、俺の脳を修復出来ない程破壊するだろう. そして十数秒後には強力な爆弾によって肉体は弾け飛び、情報の大半を隠匿できる. 近距離に居る標的を巻き添えにできれば更にいいのだが、それを確認する事は最早叶わない. だが、無駄死になど、してやるか.

・暗殺失敗. ・爆弾は分体によって摘出されました. ・トラップは用法用量を守って正しくお使いください.
