My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

「What are you guys talking about, explain it in a way that I can understand as well.」

I ambiguously explained the Eye of the World to Linga-san who was pouting.

Even if he was the guildmaster, it wouldn’t be good to disclose everything.

Maa, when I find out if I can really trust him or not, I’ll tell him everything.

Though I’m not really hiding it either.

「Maa, it’s fine.
I understand two things.
Oda Akira, are you a hero that was summoned from another world through the hero summoning?」

It seems that there was a rumor spreading around about a certain human country that had succeeded in summoning heroes.

Was it ok for me to say it, Yoru and I looked at each other.

「…I see.
Then, here is my next question.」

Linga-san saw Yoru’s and my reaction, and making his own guesses, he moved onto the next question.

I needed to keep a poker face, but still, I’m not good with these types of tactics.

「That familiar named Yoru, weren’t you the right-hand man of the demon king?」

I had vaguely guessed that Yoru had a close relationship with the demon king, but he was his right-hand man?

If that were the case, why did the demon king do something like sending his own right-hand man over to me.

『It’s as you said, but now, I am Master-dono’s subordinate.
I’m not going to destroy this country like when I was young and mischievous, so don’t worry.』

Oi, you just brazenly said something explosive, didn’t you?

I want an explanation.

「When the familiar over had been a monster, he had, as the demon king’s right-hand man, tried to destroy this country…no, this continent.
Thanks to the struggles of the hero-sama at the time, it ended with just the towns and a part of the castle that the beastman king was living in having been destroyed, but ever since then, we’ve been afraid of black cats.
We are not worthy of the reputation of being proud beastmen:」

When I glanced at Yoru, it feigned ignorance and was whistling unskillfully.

This guy, it’s not reflecting.

That means that, the people in town will run away when they see me on the street.

The hoodlums from just now were drunk and didn’t notice, but people running away when they see me, would be subconscious.

『Its because that was demon king-sama’s command.
Also, we were in the middle of a war at that time.
I don’t think that I was wrong, and I’m not going to apologize either.』

「I know.
I just wanted to confirm it.」

Amelia was overcome with surprise with the fact that the outwardly pure and innocent-looking Yoru was actually a god of destruction.

No, we must not be deceived by its appearance.

This guy was, someone who released a dragon breath on us as soon as it saw us.

That’s exactly what happened.

Wasn’t it a god of destruction since the beginning.

『Ah, Master-dono, I could hear everything through the telepathic communication…..』

That’s how you see it, huh.

Yoru sulked.

「As expected, it’s likely that the familiar and its master is connected through the telepathic communication skill.
What valuable specimens.」

Incidentally, when I looked around, there was an item that looked like a camera on the ceiling.

Since it was not the camera-like item that was used with ill intentions that I saw when I first came to this world, it seems I had failed to notice it.

「For there to be a camera in your own room, what tight security.」

Wasn’t the security too tight, considering he’s the guildmaster.

「There are times when treasures that are of utmost importance to beastmen are kept here.
That’s why.」

「…treasure, huh.
Is it ok for you to tell us something like that?」

Did the thought of us actually being thieves, and coming here to steal the treasure not cross his mind.

「No.
If you were thieves, you would not bring the familiar.
Since a black cat familiar would obviously stand out.」

For thieves who dislike standing out, we were certainly too flashy.

We had already stood out when Amelia appeared though.

That’s right, speaking of standing out, he was the opposite.

「That special skill of yours, ‘Noninterference’, does it perhaps have the effect of making other people completely unaware of you?」

「Aah, that’s right.
I’ll say this now, but I am a civil officer though and through.
To make things worse, I have a phobia of sharp objects.
I can’t even directly look at a knife.
That’s why, I rejected the splendid assassin occupation.」

Forks were impossible for him, but chopsticks were fine, so he was having chopsticks sent over from Yamato.

I stared at the display of Linga-san’s status.

Certainly, “assassin” was written in the occupation column.

This guy was exactly the same as me.

In other words, this guy was someone with the same occupation.

It seems that he used the skill “Noninterference” to stealthily enter this room to do his work.

In accordance with that, the level was really unexpected.

If it were someone else with the same occupation, they would definitely say that it’s a waste of talent.

Actually, for a moment, I had thought that as well.

However, this way of living was fine as is.

「Now then, back to the main subject.
Let’s get down to business.」

When Linga-san said that, it felt like the atmosphere immediately became tense.
