My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

Happy Monday!

Heres the new chapter, I hope you enjoy.

There may be people who have the Evil Eye just like Commander Saran, I walked within the shadows of the trees and carefully approached.

However, they, who attacked us, didnt even notice me approaching.

Heh heh heh, aniki, will they give us their princess.

A vulgar voice could be heard.

My anger was boiling up from that.

How could I hand my treasure over to these guys.

Maa, no matter how much they say that the princess is the elves treasure, she could not be compared to all her other brethren. They say that its for the tribe or something along those lines, in the end, those guys are that kind of people.

There was also a composed voice that sounded like their leader.

I drew closer to the voices with a hidden weapon in hand.

I used perception to locate their presences, and there were about fifty bandits surrounding us.

And, other than them, there were three weak presences that didnt seem to be that of a bandits.

Were they hostages?

Is it almost time to start?

Yes. It seems that Gram-sama wants to obtain Princess Amelia as well.

Eavesdropping intently, a name that Ive never heard of came up.

I filed that information into the back of my mind.

It seems that theyre about to move as well, so why dont we make a move too.

!!

For a moment, the sunlight was hidden by the clouds, and it was a bit dark, but I aim for the time when my surroundings turned dark and ran forward.

Gugaa!?

Doheee!

Oi, what happeguuu!

Incapacitating up to ten people in an instant, I kept going and swooped down on my next prey.

The bandits were in confusion, and they fainted without even being able to take out their weapons.

Oi! Whats going on!!

Aniki! Were being attacked!!

What!?

The bandit leader certainly didnt think that we would counterattack in a situation where there were hostages either

Truthfully, they shouldve withdrawn when they realized that they were being attacked.

However,

Kuu! I dont know whats going on, but for now, destroy all of those who are hidden!!

Oooooh!!!!

The bandits, without knowing what happened, noisily raised their voices and ran towards the center of the encirclement as if running from the fear of dying.

theres ten more, huh. Ill leave the rest to Amelia and William and the rest and I should head to where the leader and the hostages are.

If its the strength of Amelia and the others, even if the vanguards not there, they would be able to deal with around ten of them.

Additionally, Amelia had the special skillStrategist.

Theres no way they would be defeated.

Yoru, if its necessary, take care of Amelia.

Got it, Master-dono.

When I called out to Yoru telepathically, a reassuring voice responded back.

It seems that it was happy that it could go crazy for the first time in a while.

As expected, was it because it was a monster, its savage nature was much stronger than other animals.

damn, what happened. Oi! Wake up!!

The leader, pressed a dagger against the throat of a female elf whose face was filled with haggardness, while he kicked his comrades who had fallen over nearby.

Even so, the fainted enemy did not even move an inch.

At that violence that even his comrades were not exempt from, that young girl trembled.

And the other hostage had, fallen over, so I couldnt see them well, but she was also a female elf.

Did she lose consciousness due to the fear.

Everyones hands and feet were bound and their mouths were gagged, and they were all completely unable to move.

For now, I will try to rescue the hostages, I approached the leader in stealth.

There was no doubt that the boss who was frantically waking his comrades would not notice me approaching even if I wasnt in stealth.

For now, lets carry the woman who was unconscious and not struggling and put her up in a tree, away from the boss where he would not be able to see.

I cut off the rope that bound her limbs and gagged her mouth.

Next, I drew closer to the girl to rescue her.

It would be troublesome if she struggled, so I struck her on the back of the neck and then moved her.

If Amelia saw that, she would definitely get mad, but its not a problem if she didnt see it.

Besides, it would also be a problem if she saw me and then yelled while misunderstanding that I, a human, was one of the enemy.

Lastly, I tried to rescue the woman, but the leader had a tight hold on her.

Now then, what should I do.

Oi, if you dont want your head to go flying, take your hands off this girl.

Waaaaaaaaaaa!?

When I said that while affixing my hidden weapon at his neck, the leader who had not noticed me approaching until just now, was so surprised that he jumped up and let go of the woman without thinking.

Okay, it saved me a lot of trouble that hes an idiot.

Not letting go of that opportunity, I quickly pulled that woman toward me.

The woman who also didnt notice me widened her eyes at the suddenness as well.

I cut that rope with my hidden weapon, and pointed at the tree I put the girl in.

Perhaps the woman understood even without me saying anything, she climbed up that tree while peeking over at me.

I prayed silently in my heart that, she would look after the other hostage who was in a nearby tree for me as it would save me a lot of trouble, while my eyes had never left the leader.

It seems that the leader was outraged, many veins were popping up on his forehead.

You bastarddd!!! How dare you take the hostages from under Gram-samas nose!!

I dont know. Or rather, who that heck is that Gram youre talking about.

Like I would tell someone like you!

Still, wont you fall for it.

It seems that, those elven hostages were kept by that Gram-sama or whoever in order to catch Amelia.

The angry leader who lost them, was glaring at me as if looks could kill.

Now then, there are various things that I want to ask you. I will have you, somehow or another, capture the fellows who are scattered around here.

You know that Im the boss of the blue-ranked criminal guildSharkand youre saying that?

Hes a boss whos self-confident.

Sorry, but even if Im told about blue-class or Shark, nothing came to mind, rather, I just think of the color blue and sharks.

How high was the blue rank?

Ive never heard of any of that. Sorry.

Thinking that talking with him anymore than this would be useless as well, I drove my hand that had clutched my hidden weapon into his stomach.

I was going to go easy on him, but the leader fell over without even groaning.

Now then, Amelias side should be finished as well.

I bound the leader with the vines that were growing around here and carried him on my shoulder.

Even if it was an attempt, in my mind, there were no human rights for those who try to kidnap Amelia.

When I looked up, it seems that the girl who I made faint had regained consciousness as well.

The mother elf was hugging the daughter tightly while crying.

Was it case closed.

I looked away from the happy scene of the parent and child, while taking a deep breath in.

However, I did not know.

That this was only the beginning.
