My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's Chapter 4

Happy Wednesday!

It's the middle of the week, so there's something to be happy about. Another thing to be happy about is this new chapter! For those who are wondering, yes, this chapter should wrap up the first chapter of the manga.

Anyways, enjoy the chapter and I'll see you on Friday.

I threw myself onto the bed of my room and looked up at the ceiling.

When the bed caught me, it sank a little and then bounced back up.

It was not for certain that I would stay in this room, but it was as spacious as the ones at those hotels that cost over ten thousand a night, and at first glance, it was pretty and everything was put in order.

The shower and the bathroom were quite spacious as well.

Actually, everyone was assigned their own room, so one can guess just how big this castle was.

The completely white room as well, even if It's unused, perhaps they clean and ventilate it, because it's not dusty at all.

「Something like an assassin, if I properly act as the hero's spy, then after the hero defeats the demon king, I'll be a free man. I thought that it would be on easy mode though.

I don't know if I'm right or not, most likely, I was.

What an awful scam.

Wasn't this on hard mode?

I was even talking to myself a lot more than usual.

For now, I should find out what the scheming king and the others were planning.

Was it because I had the 『Negotiation』skill?

I could somewhat, understand what the other party was thinking.

There was also the matter of the camerlike thing as well, so I needed to move carefully.

I suddenly thought of it just now, but in the other world, if I turned into a delinquent, wouldn't I be a pro at stealing things?

I would erase my presence and sneak inside, figure out where all the security cameras were, and move to to the blind spots….

I could even be a bank robber.

Maa, I won't do that though.

Now then, speaking of things that assassins can do,

「…the only thing I can do is sneak inside. How annoying. Why is it me.」

Although I was muttering my complaints, I changed into black clothing.

Within the closet, there should be a change of clothing based on each occupation.

Of course, my status was not seen, so I had to get my own clothes.

I erased my presence and snuck into the castle's armory.

There was a guard, so I was nervous, but I was able to get what I needed without any problems.

If it were possible to go back to the other world, as I thought, why don't I become a bank robber or something?

My room too, sorry, but I'm going to use a vacant private room.

There were forty people in my class, and during lunch, twelve of them weren't in the classroom. In other words, the twenty-eight people here were the ones who were summoned to another world.

With just this many people, the maids who seem nice on the surface probably wouldn't fully understand that.

Their work even looked perfect, and the trash was piling up in the corner.

I concluded that even if an occupied room increased by one, they probably wouldn't notice.

「…now then, why don't we go–」

When I changed into the black clothes, I went out through the window so that people wouldn't discover me, moving upwards for the time being.

I jumped onto one of the castle's towers and looked around.

I've always liked high places since I was little.

「Ooh…. As expected, how big. This is the royal capital, huh.」

I could see the entire royal capital from there, and although it can't beat the industrial district at night, it was a gorgeous night view.

It could be seen that there were several street lights installed.

Any other lights couldn't be seen from here.

Maa, it was a world with magic, so there should be light magic or something.

Their civilization was at about the same level as Japan post-westernization.

There were still not a lot of street lights, and their usage was clumsy as well.

There were too many lights in the place that appeared to be the town center.

Like that, you wouldn't know if something happened in the back alley, and crimes would probably be committed continuously.

Moreover, it might have been because it's night time, but there was no pedestrian traffic.

No, was I wrong to compare it to the cities in Japan?

I pushed it to the back of my mind, and searched for signs of people.

「…ok.」

There wasn't anyone nearby.

I headed towards the tower with the heaviest security, probably because the king was there, looked for an open window while in stealth and snuck in.

「Now theen, where is the king, I wonderrr.」

Walking stealthily, I pressed my ear against the doors one by one.

Although I had heard the king's voice only once, that ominous and slimy voice was instead something that I couldn't get out of my head.

I didn't think anything of it in the beginning, but now, I even got goosebumps.

When I arrived in front of the door of a certain room, I finally got a hit.

This door looked quite heavy.

Was it his study?

I immediately pressed my ear against the door.

「…Maria, how's the situation with those damn brats?」

「The situation is favorable, otousama. Nobody has noticed it yet. After all, they are children who came from a world without magic. Not even knowing how we will use them, they are in high spirits and are sleeping right now.」

「Is that so. In that case, let's continue with the plan. They are prohibited from entering the library. Starting tomorrow, have Saran train them.」

「Yes, certainly. Everything is as otousama, Your Majesty the King. wishes.」

…although I had expected this, how scary.

The people who were smiling at us up just a little while ago, were making plans to deceive us.

There were low-lives even on Earth, but because Japan was a gentle country, I had even thought in my heart that this was impossible.

However, even that ended at just that.

I concealed my presence and entered the study as the princess came out of the room.

Even so, having seen her just now, the princess' face was unseemingly distorted, how dreadful.

There was no trace of her gentle smile.

I wonder if all girls were like that.

A guy like me wouldn't be able to understand something like being two-faced.

I was wandering around the spacious study, looking for the king.

I liked reading, so I was interested in the books that were lined up, but I needed to control myself here.

I, took out a silver dagger from within my black clothing.

It looked sharp, so I took it along with me when I snuck into the armory.

Within the innermost part of the study, was the king.

He sat at his desk and was intently writing something.

I stood behind him.

I suddenly thought of something.

I could kill this guy right now without anyone noticing.

However, I still didn't know what this guy's intentions were.

Why did he summon us?

And, what kind of country was this?

And above all, I still didn't have the resolution to kill someone.

No, to begin with, I don't have such a savage personality as to kill here, but even if I had to do that for the time being, I couldn't kill.

On that day, I returned to my room.

It was not until a month later, when I regretted not killing him at that time.
