My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

Happy Monday!

So theres been a number of you who are asking if I would increase the updates for this project now that my other one has been completed, but unfortunately, that is not possible at the very moment, for various reasons. I may do so in the future, it really depends. In that were to be the case, I will notify you guys, but please dont get your hopes up. I dont want you to be disappointed if I dont.

Anyways, heres the new chapter, I hope you enjoy.

There was not much trouble when we were on the ship, rather, trouble came calling, after we got off the ship.

No, perhaps we invited trouble onto ourselves.

Oi, the brat over there, leave the female elf beside you and scram.

ha?

Thats right, I had completely forgotten.

Amelia was an unparalleled beauty, so when someone with ordinary looks stood next to her, we completely stood out like a sore thumb.

And just like that, we were surrounded by male beastmen.

I couldnt really tell because of the fur, but their faces were red, and because they smelled strongly of alcohol, they had definitely been drinking since morning.

And, these men had obnoxiously hung their Adventurers Guild dog tags around their necks.

The color was yellow.

Judging from their equipment, they were obviously a party of warriors.

Yellow was much lower than the topmost gold rank.

Its the third one if you counted from the bottom, so its much faster if you counted from the bottom.

Its different if theyre fakes, but even with the Eye of the World, it was confirmed that they had warrior-type skills.

Small friesno, mobs?

They often appear in manga, those guys who faces werent even drawn.

Or rather, I have no preference for rough guys with cat ears and a tail, its unpleasant.

At the very least, get cosmetic surgery or turn over a new leaf with those cat ears and tails.

The beastmen who didnt know that I was thinking those kinds of things in my mind, thought that I was so scared that I couldnt say anything, and laughed vulgarly.

I gave a deep sigh as if I couldnt hear anything.

haa. Template collection. Good job, me.

Akira, should I destroy them?

No, if I dont do it, we will always be targeted.

The matter I was thinking about when I met Amelia had come true

Come to think of it, this may be the first time that the elves, who were nothing but pretty faces, walked among ordinary humans.

Oi, what are you blabbing on about. We have no interest in males? Or, do you play for that team?

The man who was the leader shouted that, irritated.

Anger and haste hinder good counsel, you know, was what I wanted to say, but I was offended by what he just said.

Who did you say had an interest in what?

I too realized that the corners of my own mouth had curled up.

Yoru, who was on my shoulder, frantically raised his voice to try and stop me, but Ill listen later.

Now then, what should I do about these guys.

Its one thing if theyre treating me like Im homosexual, but theyre also staring at Amelia with their filthy eyes.

For now, Ill be your opponent, so those who want to die, come.

Ah?

Even though I said that, I, who didnt intend on killing them, I hooked my finger, motioning for them to come, without taking out my hidden weapons or Yatonokami.

Are you trying to say that a human brat will win against us beastmen?

You guys, if you want to run away, now is the time?

Arent you still drinking your mothers milk?

Its not good, if you make an enemy out of us, you know?

With a twitch, this time, Amelia reacted.

On top of my shoulder, Yoru was shaking its head in amazement, as if saying, Good grief.

Youre the ones who would be troubled if you cause a disturbance in a place like this though.

Seeing people gathering around to watch the commotion, Amelia said this.

When Amelia who had been silent until now and was just being protected by me spoke, at that moment, the men got lively.

What caused this was, not because of Amelias words, but that beautiful voice of hers.

Oi, did you hear it? The voice just now.

Aah, so wonderful.

Shes much too good for such a brat.

If we sold her, how much do you think she would go for?

I, thought that I endured it splendidly.

To the point where I wanted to praise myself.

However, as expected, there was a limit to ones patience.

I held out my hand.

Amelia sensed that I was about to try and do something and reached out her arm to stop me.

However, I had said those words just before she could.

Shadow Magic.

Aah, Ill say this now, but of course Im not going to use Shadow Magic at full strength in the middle of the street.

Even if the men of the general public who heard Amelias voice were looking at her with eyes like beasts, they were much preferable than these guys who were just standing there.

Besides, even if I had Amelia put on a hood now, it would be meaningless when we stood out this much.

If thats the case, it would be much better to prove that Im strong and have them give up.

Way to go, Master-dono.

Guaaaa!!

Sh*t! What is this!!

This is bad, this is really bad! I cant get it off!

The condensed shadows struck the mens eyes.

And, controlling it remotely, that shadow covered their eyeballs.

In other words, they would not be able to see for a short while.

I was not able to display my strength, but they should understand my abilities from the people who saw.

Hou, not bad.

Suddenly, someone from among the spectators raised their voice.

The crowd of people parted, from among the noisy people, a tall man walked over in a relaxed manner.

Those ears and tail, hes probably a leopard.

Dark clothes hugged his body, a man who seemed refreshing.

However, that face was a noh mask, his facial muscles were completely frozen.

Th, that voice is!

Th, this is bad!

S, sh*t!!

Why is that person here!?

Based on the reactions of the men and the spectators, it seems that hes someone important.

Even though he seems young, how amazing.

Also, its extremely loud.

Now then, first off, why dont I introduce myself. I am the person who manages the Adventurer Guild in this town, my names Linga. Please take care of me, human child.

Im Oda Akira. Best regards. If you are the guildmaster, then this will be quick. This, is the letter from the elven king.

Hou, for the guy who hates writing to write this, it seems that its quite the situation.

The people around us were getting noisy because I called Linga-san you, but the person himself didnt mind it, so I wont either.

TN: the you here is (anta) which is a more informal/rude version of anata. There are different forms of you in Japanese, so Ill make a note of it here so that you guys wont be confused.

When I gave him the letter of the king of elves, Linga-san immediately broke the seal and began reading it.

I see, this is quite interesting. And he has messy handwriting.

Dont say that in front of his daughter.

When I glanced at Amelia, Amelia didnt seem like she minded, rather, she seemed restless under Linga-sans gaze.

Fumu, that guys daughter, which means youre Princess Amelia, huh. Youre quite brave to come here at this time.

at this time?

I asked this in response to those words, that he muttered as if impressed with his hand on his chin.

What did that mean?

You came without knowing, huh. Maa, its fine, this place is not good, so lets go to the Adventurer Guild. aah, youve right where I need you. Yamato-kun, after expelling those lowly people over there from the Adventurer Guild, confiscate all their possessions and throw them into the jungle.

As you ordered

Turning on his heel, Linga-san, as if he just remembered, coldly looked down at the men whose eyes were still being suppressed and squatting down, and gave that order to the nearby young man.

It seems that the people working for the Adventurer Guild were unexpectedly nearby.

Linga-san continued walking, and the crowd of people parted.

The peoples eyes that were looking at Linga-san, were filled with fear.

This person, I wonder what he did.

You are quite the schemer as well.

Along the way to the guild, in a less populated area, Linga-san said this and looked at me.

I gave a meaningful smile.

You saved me when you went with it. With this, Amelia should be safe for the time being.

Eh. Akira, what are you talking about?

Amelia and Yoru were blankly staring at me.

These two people were extremely honest, or perhaps I should say, theyre pure, at any rate, they were utterly ignorant of things such as schemes and traps.

I explained it to those two.
