My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

Happy Wednesday!

Heres the chapter, enjoy.

Depends on what it is.

You bastard! Thats impolite!!

I dont know which part of my reply he was displeased with, but when Victor flared up all of a sudden, I unconsciously sighed.

Even though I had intentionally stifled it just now, it was meaningless.

Theres no way I would say, Yes, I understand, without even listening to the details. That would be after he tells me the details of the request and its remuneration.

When I said this, King Igsma gave a slight smile.

It seems that the hero-sama from another world is much smarter than expected. Very well. this time, I would like to request of Oda-dono the assassination of a certain person. As for the remuneration, what about your guaranteed safety within this country?

I finally realized it, when I saw King Igsam smiling meaningfully.

This person was the type that I disliked.

I refuse.

Whaa!?

When I declared this without hesitation, Victors eyes widened.

I didnt know what kind of standing the king had for the beastmen, but wasnt he too surprised?

Why? I heard that ever since you people came here, youve been attacked by many monsters and people. The elven territory, beastmen territorys Ul, and Mari. I thought that you people who came from a different world where there are no conflicts would greatly wish for security though.

How did this person know that. Lets put that aside for now, theres a huge misunderstanding.

Sorry, but I can at least protect myself. Theres no need for your help.

How was he determining my level.

As far as the status was concerned, there was no one in this room that was stronger than me.

Maa, only Amelia and I could see statuses, so it was something that couldnt be helped.

Even so, if he knew in which places we had been attacked, then he should also know about the monster annihilation that I had carried out in Ul.

You bastard, it couldnt be that you spread a false rumor that you had exterminated a large amount of monsters by yourself!?

I was able to understand the gist of things from the words of Victor who lost his temper.

It seems that they thought that the story about me usingShadow Magicto annihilate the monsters was not true.

Next to me, Amelia frowned.

I was just wondering what you were talking about all of a sudden, but a false rumor? On what basis are you saying such a thing?

Well then, it had been reported that Princess Amelia was not there, but you believe that persons lies, on what basis? To begin with, its impossible for a man like this to be able to eradicate the monsters that numbered over a hundred!

For some reason, this had been declared just based on my outward appearance.

Whats with this guy.

King Igsam too, he was just smiling and not not stopping him. Rather, I sensed that he was observing me as well.

Giving her a sidelong glance, I saw that Amelias smile had become deeper.

This, I have never seen her this angry before.

For it to be reported as such, meant that that person was there. You do not believe in the words of your associate? Besides, Im more familiar with Akira than I am with you Ive met for the first time. Dont open that mouth of yours anymore. Its unpleasant.

Alright, she won that argument.

Such wonderful skills that her words flowed like water.

As one would expect, shes lived much longer than I had.

Victor bit his lips and said no more.

I wasnt there, so I can not prove what Akira had done at that place. However, that does that mean that Akira lied. In other words, this conversation is unnecessary. lets go back to what we were talking about before. Who is the person you want Akira to assassinate?

Aah, come to think of it, he did say something like that.

After that, he had said something like guaranteeing my safety or another, so I had completely forgotten.

If you guys are adventurers, the. I think that you wouldve at least heard the name before, but I want you to assassinate Uruks guildmaster, Gram.

The person he named was indeed Grams, and Ria, who seemed to not have known that, gasped in surprise.

On the other hand, Amelia and I had our own differing reactions.

You want to kill your own nephew?

Another bothersome request.

The person who requested it was the king, and the target was, more or less, royalty, though he had been expelled, and had a certain status.

I was not a citizen of this kingdom, so its not an obligation, but even so, the kings words carried a sense of compulsion.

What should I do.

Do you know about Gram. Then we can cut to the chase. I will guarantee your safety and in return, kill that guy.

I said it, didnt I. Im not so weak that I cant protect myself, and I had refused your assassination request as well.

How persistent.

When I got a bit irritated, Amelia took hold of my hand.

Then, it should be fine to let the strongest person in this castle fight with Akira. If by any chance Akira loses, then we will accept your request. If Akira wins, we will do as we like. Akira, is that ok with you?

I nodded at Amelia and looked up at the throne.

Amelia-dono, is that really alright? Even though he is a summoned hero, it is impossible for a human to win against a beastman.

The words of King Igsam who had his elbows propped on the throne, finally corresponded with his behavior up until now.

In this world, the demons were the strongest, and followed by the elves and beastmen with the humans being the weakest was a matter of course. It was common knowledge that couldnt be overturned.

The fact that Victor would rather doubt me than believe in his colleagues words, and King Igsam would repeatedly negotiate with our safety rather than with money, were all because I was human.

No, thats not true. Besides, to be told that it was a fake rumor and that it was a lie in front of my woman, I can not let this go either.

then even if youre humiliated in front of Princess Amelia, you wont regret it.
