My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

Happy Wednesday!

Heres the chapter, I hope you enjoy.

Master-dono, Master-dono!

When I woke up to Yorus voice, I was on top of a tree.

A small Yoru was on my stomach and looked at me worriedly.

I felt like its been a while since I last saw Yoru.

During the duel as well, perhaps he had no interest in it, but he was sleeping on top of Amelias knee the entire time.

When I told him to help his master, he fearlessly laughed, and he displayed a strange confidence, saying that there was no way that Master-dono would lose to that kind of person.

I was happy, but should I be.

I came down from the tree and stretched.

Yoru deftly landed right next to me.

As expected of a cat.

Sleeping in a tree was certainly not comfortable, but it was much better than the hard dungeon floor.

I rarely toss and turn when I sleep, so Im not too worried about falling, and I dont mind the bugs either.

Perhaps there were no mosquitoes in this world, I wasnt irritated by the annoying buzzing and was able to sleep.

Good morning, Yoru.

Aah, good morning, Master-dono. It seems you slept well, thats good. Not everyones awake yet, so wont you take a walk with me?

Its rare for you to invite me.

At the suggestive look in its eye, I understood that it wasnt just a stroll, was it a matter that was important enough to wake me up.

Yoru transformed and turned back into its original size.

It glowed a little, and in an instant, the kitten-sized Yoru turned a little bigger than a large dog.

That special skill, is useful, isnt it.

If I had to say if its useful or not, it certainly is useful.

After those words, the silence continued for a while.

Yorus paw pads absorbed sounds, so there were no footsteps coming from it, only the sound of my footsteps could be heard.

No, say something.

Perhaps he could heard the voice in my mind, Yoru started to speak.

Its a coincidence, because we shouldnt be able to communicate with each other if we dont establish the telepathic communication.

What does, Master-dono plan to do after this?

is that, as the demon kings subordinate? Or, as my familiar?

When I asked that, Yoru widened his eyes in surprised and gave a bitter smile.

I felt like its steps became somewhat lighter.

Of course, its as your familiar. Right now, my only connection with the demon king-sama are these five senses. I dont have the intention of betraying him, but I dont have the intention of cooperating either.

Is that ok? You, didnt you have a considerably good position among the demons?

There was also the feeling that it was a demotion, but since its the diligent Yoru, there was no way it made a mistake.

If thats the case, there was this possibility that, he had the trust of the demon king, therefore it was entrusted with this job.

Because we would be able to communicate due to the special skillMetamorphosis, it shouldve been an appropriate position.

Before, I was told that it would also be good for demon king-sama when something happened to Master-dono, I will not do that. If you dont have a destination in mind, then I have somewhere I want to go.

Its rare for you to say that you want something. Where?

I changed the subject, but its a secret that I was slightly moved by Yorus words.

The continent of beasts, Blood.

The beastmens continent, huh. Why is it that place again.

There are many excellent blacksmiths among the beastmen. That katana of Master-donos, you should get it looked at.

I followed Yorus gaze and gave the jet black handle at the tip of my shoulder a fleeting glance.

The present from Commander Saran that had gone through life and death countless times together with me against monsters that were immune to magic was so exhausted that it looked to be at its limit.

Of course, it wasnt that I was negligent in its maintenance.

Even so, I certainly overdid it, its worn-out.

Thats true. Certainly, I should get it looked at.

Isnt that so?

I gave a bitter smile, at Yoru who proudly puffed up its chest.

It didnt seem like that was the only reason it had for heading to the beastmen territory, but its fine to ask about it later.

Then lets get going. Today.

Today!?

Even I thought that it was impulsive, but even so, we needed to leave today.

To begin with, it was put off because of the trouble from Kirikas matter, and I had actually planned to immediately leave this territory. Because the timing was bad, we had stayed here until now, but we dont have any more business in this territory.

I see, then Ill make the preparations.

That was not Yoru, when I thinking that it was a female voice, there was a beautiful girl with white hair trailing behind standing over there.

The red eyes were glittering like that of a mischievous childs.

It seems that she was satisfied that she was able to see me somewhat surprised.

Amelia.

Are you going to leave just me behind? I, will accompany Akira until the end.

Amelia said that and smiled.

She had been smiling sadly ever since she came to the elven territory, but it seems that her smile was finally back.

Of course, I wasnt going to leave you behind. No matter what the king says, we will be together. Of course, Yoru as well.

The scornful eyes from Yoru confused me and I added that last part.

The two people nodded, satisfied.

Since I dont know when well be able to come back, go tell the king and Kirika properly?

Its fine even I didnt tell them. Since Ill come back.

I smiled at Amelia, who reassuringly declared that.

Thats true.

Its probably only me who was slightly uneasy, at those words.

Its fine, nothing will happen.

Yes, I repeated that over and over in my head as if it were a spell.

Its going to be fine.
