My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

Gram.

The man introduced himself as such and smiled.

This was the guy who summoned the demons to Brute Dungeon to try and abduct Amelia, tried to sell Amelia who won the pageant in pieces, and killed Kurous younger sister.

He did none of them directly and the ones relating to Amelia were only attempts, but even so, theres no doubt that we were affected by them.

If it was the me on a normal day, I wouldve just pressed this guy for his side of the story, but it seems that this was not the time to be saying such things.

How do we get out of here.

If possible, it would be best to leave peacefully.

Perhaps it was because I instinctively rejected this guy, that I felt that his countenance was loud and garish, but in any case, I didnt want to look directly at him.

I didnt want her to see that kind of face, so I stood in front of Amelia.

Oya, who are you? Im speaking with Amelia-sama though.

This time, those eyes turned towards me who hid Amelia behind me.

I got goosebumps.

It was unusual for me to dislike someone so much.

I didnt even hate the teacher who taught the incomprehensible class, or the teacher who kept yelling this much.

When I stood there without speaking, Gram looked at my attire and then clapped his hands together.

I see, you are Amelia-samas escort. Then, thanks for your hard work up until now. You can take it easy and even go back home.

What was this guy saying.

I had no intentions of denying that I was her escort, but the problem was the words that he said afterwards.

The way he said that, it was as if he was trying to tell me that he would be with her from now on, and that I had already served my purpose.

Ha?

The sound that came out of my mouth was so low, that it surprised even me.

It made Raul and Kelia, who were next to me, tremble.

It was only a little bit, but it seems that I hadnt reigned in my bloodlust.

Unfortunately, it was like Gram couldnt sense it at all, and he continued in the same tone with a faint smile on his face.

What, you havent gotten your reward? How much did the elven king say that he would give you? I will pay double, so you have already served your purpose. To begin with, how did you get acquainted with Amelia-sama with your social standing as a human? With your body?

It seems that this guy also thought that humans were of a lower status than him.

There was no one else more annoying than a person who thought that they were always correct.

And, there was no way that Raul was going to stay quiet when he heard those words that insult me.

Watch your mouth. Even if youre the guildmaster, I wont let you insult the Assassin of Darkness-sama who came to this world through the hero summoning.

He went to the front and puffed out his chest with pride, as he courteously gave an explanation about me.

However, it wouldve been good if he didnt say it.

There was an obvious change in the color of Grams eyes.

He is a hero-sama who came here through the hero summoning? Thats strange.

What is.

Sensing something, I finally opened my mouth and asked.

From what Ive heard, the hero-samas had only left Retice Castle once, and that was when they headed to Continent Dungeon. After that, they stayed inside the castle and never left again, that was what I heard though? Why is this hero-sama here? Is it because you wanted to kill the demon king?

The successive generations of heroes had contributed to the development of this world.

Among them, there were heroes who didnt defeat the demon king as well, but even so, it was definite that they did something that benefited the people of this world.

The things in this world like the camera, all things in this world that seemed somewhat strange, were things that the heroes brought out into this world.

However, we didnt do anything ever since we had been summoned, and other than the hero and his group and me, the others refused to fight, so they were thought of by the humans as good-for-nothings.

In actuality, that information was not wrong.

We came to this world and learned how to fight, only going to the Continent Dungeon.

However, they did not know just how outrageous a hero summoning was.

We came from a peaceful world, and did not know how to fight.

They think that it was normal for the heroes to do everything for their sake.

They did not know just how selfish they were.

Firstly, I was summoned here, but Im not the hero. Also, we will not kill the demon king.

Youre not the hero, huh. However, what are you saying. Heroes that are summoned kill the demon king. That goes without saying, and its the principle of this world.

Why do the people of this world make other people do the things that they themselves cant do.

I would understand it if they asked for assistance from the bottom of their hearts, if they were truly troubled.

However, in actuality, the king of Retice who asked us to defeat the demon king only intended to use us.

We were not dolls that just obeyed orders.

We had emotions, as well as repulsion towards killing people.

Thats why he used the princess and tried to put a curse on us.

Hero-sama will have the mannerisms, behavior, and the speech that a hero-sama should have, that was the curse that that princess put on the hero.

In other words, the inhabitants of this world wanted him to be the hero that they wanted.

Something like that, no thank you.

I dont know anything like the principle of this world. Even though we were living in a peaceful world, we were forcibly taken to this world. Try solving your own problems. Dont rely on people from another world.

I was not a saint like the successive generations of heroes.

Maa, it might also be possible that the other heroes were forced to do so because of things like curses.

I dont want to do anything for anyone without compensation, and if theres no reward, then Im not going to do it.

Perhaps its because I knew how the people of this world would end up.

Is that so, Gram muttered this, smiled, and then leaned closer towards me.

I took a step back.

Gram whispered so that no one else could hear.

I see. Then you dont intend on granting the wish of the foolish man who sacrificed himself so that you could escape from the castle. Should I tell you what that man said as he was dying? Akira-kun is you, isnt it?

It felt like the blood in my entire body was boiling over.

I was able to see an interesting show. It was the right choice to have the Night Raven set up the camera in advance.

As expected, Commander Saran was by you.

I wasnt there when Commander Saran took his last breath.

Of course, I was extremely curious as to what his last words were, but before that, I was happy that I got to know that the man before me was Commander Sarans enemy.

Saa, dont you want to know? If you want me to tell you, come together with Amelia-sama.

Gram said that once again.

I sneered and shook my head.

Youre misunderstanding something. It was a mistake for you to tell me that.

This time, I leaned closer.

Tonight, take care when you go to sleep.

I finally found you.

The person that I need to kill.

The person to assassinate.

thats unfortunate. I dont plan on letting you go.

Gram said that and as soon as he snapped his fingers, three men wearing black clothing appeared out of nowhere.

Those eyes were somewhat vacant, and I knew that they were being controlled by the aforementioned strengthening drug.

Besides these guys, there were only Amelia and I, as well as Raul and the others in the Adventurer Guild.

Perhaps the other staff members had a keen sense of danger, as it seems that they had hurriedly took refuge.

Maa, its good that it became easier though.

The moment I thought to assess the situation, Kelia rushed towards Gram while in her wheelchair before I could stop her.

Guildmaster, what in the world is going on! Just what are you doing to the adventurers.

With the social standing of the common people, of a human, it is extremely impertinent to start talking to me who is royalty. Kill all of those audacious humans over there. Ill have you return my things.

After he said those words, Kelia, together with her wheelchair, was blown away by one of the men in black.

I could only see that he swung his fist, but there was no way that he could blow away a person and a wheelchair with just that.

Those who were enhanced were troublesome.

Kelia!!!

With a sidelong glance, I saw Raul catch Kelia, and I caught the fist that was swung down towards me.

As expected, he didnt have the nickname Whirlwind for nothing.

There was no hesitation in their movements, and theyre fast.

Hold on tightly to the hand of your important person, Raul.

Yes!

I embraced Amelia.

Kneel down!

We could fight against the black-clad men with gravitational magic, but it seems that Kelia couldnt fight at all.

Raul lifted Kelia up with one hand, but his movements slowed as he couldnt use both hands.

Over here, Amelia and I were taking on two of the black-clad men, but they were struggling over there with only one person.

Yoru, its fine here, so Im leaving Raul to you. Dont kill them.

Got it.

When I called out to Yoru who was on my shoulder, he used Metamorphosisturn into a cheetah and went to assist Raul.

That person is mine! Ill have you return her.

When I turned toward the front, thinking of defeating the men in black, Gram came up to me with his hand out.

I frowned and slapped that hand away.

Amelia is not yours! Shes mine, dont touch her!!

I tightened my hand around the fist of the men in black.

Shadow Magic!!

The mans shadow, that was connected to me due to our hands wriggled, and arose.

Devour the door!

There were crackling sounds and then there was a hole bitten into Adventurer Guilds door.

Yoru, Amelia, were leaving.

Nn!

Roger!!

Due to AmeliasGravitational Magic, the three men in black and Raul sunk into the ground, and during that gap, the cheetah Yoru placed Raul and Kelia onto his back and rushed outside through the opening in the door.

Sh*t! Chase after them! Dont let them get away! Why are you dawdling! Hurry up and chase after them!!

With Grams shouting behind us, we left the Adventurer Guild as well.

I thought that we would be surrounded, but there werent any men in black.

There were only adventurers and curious onlookers who came over due to the uproar.

I couldnt catch sight of Yoru anymore, and because I didnt recognize the streets, I didnt know where we should go.

Wai, over here! Master!

Hearing Latisneils voice, I raised my head, and she, who was holding onto something, was flying in the sky, and held her hand out to us.

Amelia!

Nn!!

I grabbed Amelias hand, kept up from the ground, and used my other hand to grab Latisneils hand.

The moment I grabbed Latisneils hand, our bodies floated up, and we flew through the sky.

Yeah, as expected, flying is fun.

Latisneil said that in a voice so calm that you wouldnt think that she was supporting the weight of two people.

When I looked down, there were four enhanced people dressed in black looking up towards us.

Although they have been enhanced, it seems that they cant fly.

thanks, Latisneil.

I looked at the injuries here and there on her body and said this.

Most likely, they had surrounded the Adventurer Guild.

I didnt know if she noticed then due to timing of when they entered the guild building, but it seems that she eliminated them.

Its nothing! If you died, Id have a guilty conscience. Since I like you!

Latisneil said this in a proud manner.

She truly saved us.

If we had been on foot, they wouldve caught up sooner or later.

How beautiful.

We gradually went higher and higher, and we could overlook the City of Water in its entirety.

The boats were slowly moving forward in the canals, and the people who were as small as a grain of rice were walking on the streets.

The water within the canals were sparkling like jewels.

Aah, it is beautiful.

I muttered those words, not knowing that at the same time, in a different place, Kurou and Ria were looking up towards us,
