My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

Chapter 59



Happy Wednesday!

Heres the new chapter. Let me know if there are any mistakes, please and thank you. I hope you enjoy.

For now, I set the leader who I captured free in the forest.

Since he didnt say anything even when the elves interrogated him.

No, this guy most likely didnt know anything.

He just seemed like the leader, his sword was crude, and above all, their scheme to pretend to be bandits was too ill-prepared.

And so, the elven forces were divided in half, one half were the guides and escorts who sent the hostages back.

And the other half were our guides.

Perhaps there was that matter from earlier as well, because the elven knights were escorting us without letting their guards down, though really, we were just walking.

Along the way, Amelia got tired and rode on top of Yoru who enlarged itself.

Akira, was it really ok? If they were truly bandits that the guild had put a bounty on, we couldve received a reward.

I poked Amelia who was displeased.

Most likely, she wanted to use that money to eat something tasty.

Its good that we were able to get those people who were kidnapped back. Besides, theres the proverb that says that those who chase after two rabbits wont catch any.

Those who chase after two rabbits?

I explained the meaning to Amelia and Yoru who tilted their heads to the side in confusion.

I see, the inhabitants of Master-donos world use interesting phrases.

Yoru and Amelia crossed their arms and nodded in admiration.

Those actions resembled that of an ossans so I laughed a little.

Saa, weve arrived!

William, who was walking in front, his voice rang out, and the procession stopped.

The trees were in the way and I could barely see anything, but a large ship that was rarely used was anchored at the wharf.

Incidentally, Amelia and Yoru were bewitched by the blue sea that was spread out before their eyes.

Akira-dono, that ship, Orchid, periodically travels between the elven territory and the beastmen territory, and this time, you will be riding that.

William said that and presented to me, a letter with the insignia of the elven royal family.

He said that the king was giving it to me to use in the only beastmen port city, Ul.

Dont do something so cool.

The king probably thought that he had paid back the favor with this, but too bad.

The one who saved the hostages, was me.

The king, would be glad that his brethren returned as well, but the thing that Im most unhappy about would be not being able to see his face filled with despair.

This is as far as we go. Akira-dono, Yoru-dono, to say this to you even though you are not elves, we are definitely a failure as a country. However, as William, I want to request something of you!

William made a face as if he was holding back his tears.

My beloved wife and daughter! Please save them!!

M, me too!

Please!

The elves bowed their heads.

Definitely, if a scholar studying the ecology of elves saw that, they would definitely be extremely excited.

Elves basically did not associate with other races, and were very prideful.

To want them to willingly bow their heads, it would never happen, with the exception of torture.

No matter how strong Akira was, they did so to a human who was much inferior than themselves even though their population was higher.

Their resolution could be seen.

sorry, but I left my sickly mother and younger sister behind in my hometown as well. I need to go.

A, Akira-dono!!

However, maa, if I come across the brethren that you mentioned, I can also pick them up along the way.

It was a line that, I definitely would not have said when I left the castle.

I thought that Amelia too had changed a lot since the time I met her, but it seems that it was the same for me as well.

Akira-dono, you have my gratitude!

Amelia-sama as well, take care!

Please take care of yourself!!

When we boarded the ship, the elves shouted this.

I ran to the middle of the deck so that I wouldnt be able to see them, and left everything to Amelia.

Everyone too, take care.

Yes!!

Like that, the ship set sail.

The small Yoru on my shoulder was hit with the sea breeze and was delighted by it.

It feels good, Master-dono.

Aah.

But, the sea breeze was too much, so I didnt really like it.

Today, I need to carefully wash Yoru too.

Akira, I have something to talk to you about though.

Amelia.

Amelia expressionlessly stood in front of me.

I knew what Amelia wanted to say.

Akira, I tooisnt there anything I can do to help?

There isnt. It still isnt Amelias turn yet.

I see.

Amelia hung her head.

Before, I wouldve undoubtedly patted that head, but I didnt do so.

Amelia, if your goal is different from mine, than it would be better to go our separate ways.

W, hy.

I too, did not want to say this.

Amelia, Im close to the elves. Im fine with just those around me being happy.

Am I not, among those people?

No, you are definitely one of them.

Because you are, even though I dont know what theyre trying to do, I would not forgive the Uruk Kingdom who tried to kidnap Amelia.

However, if were going to the Uruk Kingdom, it wouldnt be the shortest route to the demon kings castle.

The me who wanted to return to Japan as quickly as possible, and the me who wanted to protect Amelia were warring with each other in my head.

With or without knowledge of my emotions, Amelia tiptoed and patted my head.

Its fine to do as Akira likes. I will do the same.

is that so.

I gave a wry smile, at Amelia who decided everything.

This guy, was really soft on me.

If he said that, it seemed like he would be tsukkomid with Akira too is soft on Amelia, so he didnt say anything.

Master-dono, Im fine with it, but thats not something that you should do in publicon the deck of the ship.

Realizing it when Yoru pointed it out, everyone who was working, did their best not to look at us, and we were in the way.

Come to think of it, the workers in this world, most of them were humans.

The sailors working on the ship too, and the enemies who attacked us were humans as well.

Humans and beastmen didnt change much, but because their population was overwhelmingly more, there was little to no people who go to the territories of other races to work.

The humans that weve seen so far were, merely a small fraction as well.

There wasnt anyone who was dissatisfied, but it was definite that the treatment of humans was different than that of other tribes.
