My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

Happy Wednesday!

Ill give this to you.

He said this, and what Commander Saran took out was, a katana.

wait, where did he get that from just now?

Before I could ask him, Commander Saran presented the katana to me without hesitation.

I lost to Commander Sarans friendly smile and reluctantly accepted it.

With a black handle, a black guard, and a black sheath, it was a katana that appealed to the second year junior high school student within me.

TN: what the author had here was , and I dont know what that means, but could also sound like the kanji and means junior high school, which makes more sense, so thats what Im going with

or rather, they had katanas in this world.

I hadnt seen one until now, so I just thought that there werent any.

This is??

It is a weapon that the first hero-sama forged with his own hands called a katana. If Im not mistaken, you came from the same world as the first hero-sama, did you not? You should know about katanas, right?

no, yeah. How should I put it, why are you giving this to me who isnt even the hero? Or rather, is it ok for you to give that to me so unreservedly?

When I pulled it out a little to take a look, the katana blade was splendidly pitch black as well.

you sure know how to do things, first hero.

Of course, I had thought of what to give Tsukasa-kun, but since he doesnt have the curved sword skill, and there is a holy sword thats passed down from one generations hero to the next, I discussed it with Zeal-kun and we decided to give it to you.

what about the king?

this is a secret, but this, was stolen from the royal treasury. Your weapon was broken during todays fight with the Minotaur, so this is the perfect timing.

I was a little horrified at Commander Saran who nonchalantly said something unbelievable.

Didnt he just say that he stole that from the treasury?

Its true that I said that I stole it from the treasury. Besides, rather than being buried under those glittering bars of gold, being useful would make that katana happy was well. Besides, the dagger that you were using was a stolen item too.

hes psychic.

Also, I didnt tell anyone about where I had gotten the broken dagger.

Its already broken, so Id like it if you didnt talk about it anymore.

I drew the katana out completely.

The blade had the form of the so-called Kogarasu Zukuri, part of the back of the blade, just the tip, had an edge to it as well, it was a double-edged sword.

TN: the Kogarasu Zukuri is a type of katana that has a very unique form and are distinctive in their double-edged sword tip.

It was a katana where you couldnt say, Dont worry, Im hitting you with the back of the sword.

Theres no inscription?

It seems like there is. Look, its on the side of the base of the katana. We cant read it though.

When I took a look at it, there were words engraved there.

In kanji.

As expected, it seems that the first generation hero was a Japanese person.

The kanji that I havent seen in a long time filled me with nostalgia.

So, what does it say??

Urged by Commander Saran who had an excited look on his face, I read those words.

The inscription on the katana blade was engraved in white, and it was extremely eye-catching.

It says Yatonokami. If I remember correctly, it seems to be the name of a god.

Yatonokamithere was such a god in your world?

Aah, its a god from my country, though. In the country that we were born in, in Japan, we believe in many gods, and it is taught that gods dwell in all things. Especially when, there are a lot of gods who are quite similar.

Gods dwell in all things. I see, Ive never thought about that. In this world, theres only one Creator-sama.

His eyes sparkling at the novel information, Commander Saran started talking about this worlds god even though I didnt ask for it, but I ignored him, and looked down at the katana.

huh?

Next to the inscription, there were inconspicuous words that werent engraved in color.

Reflected in the moonlight, I could barely read them.

In the future, I pray that it would be of help to my kouhai

At those words that were flowing down on the left side, I unconsciously smiled.

In my heart, I thanked my senpai.

Without a doubt, these words had become my emotional support.

I want to meet the first generation herooo.

When I looked up at that extremely clear starry sky that you wouldnt be able to see in Japan and I said that, Commander Saran didnt say anything either and looked up at the sky.

Unfortunately, there werent any constellations that I knew, but the anguish and anger that I felt towards the idiotic hero and the scheming king up until yesterday had, completely disappeared without a trace.

Hey, Commander Saran, I-

I asked Commander Saran, for a favor.
