My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's Chapter 47

The shadow magic completely swallowed up the arrows, and when I stuck my chin out as if saying that I could still keep going, a third party’s voice reverberated throughout the plaza .

「Both sides pull backk!!」

Used with the skill Roar, his shout stopped my movements, albeit slightly .

A tall person, appeared on top of the branches of a remarkably tall tree closest to the plaza .

That person who was emitting an overbearing pressure even when seeing him from afar saw that our movements had stopped, kicked the branch that he was standing on, and with one jump, he landed in front of Kirika .

Over there, was a king .

Not like the questionable king of Retice, but a king that everyone had dreamed of .

He didn’t flashily have a crown on his head .

He didn’t have the gentle disposition like the Emperor and Enpress of Japan either,

Rather, I felt a prickling pressure, but as if somewhat gentle, he had an air about him that was unique to those who were in a position where they always gave out orders .

「O, otousama . 」

Kirika dumbfoundedly muttered .

It turned out, the man that exuded a king’s aura from his entire body was Amelia and Kirika’s father .

According to what Amelia said, her father, the king, was also being charmed .

It appears that, there were no limitations to the charm skill, and there was no target either .

No, it would be scary if the charm skill had that kind of ability .

「Kirika, what did you do to Amelia . 」

「I, I… . 」

He turned to coldly look at Kirika .

And then, Kirika’s body was trembling .

What is going on .

Was the king not under Kirika’s charm .

I looked at Amelia, looking for an explanation, but Amelia was looking down, and did not notice my gaze .

I gave up looking for an explanation from Amelia, and looked towards the father of the two who had appeared .

Amelia probably, took a hit from the roar just now .

There were also some among the elves who fainted, so was Amelia not better than them .

Or rather, for the roar to make them faint just like that, was it true that Kirika was the strongest elf .

「I’m going to ask you one more time . you, what do you do to your older sister?」

「T, that person is not my older sister . 」

Kirika declared that, her voice trembling .

However, her eyes widened with fear .

If it’s that scary, you should’ve apologized even if it was a lie .

「I see . I am disappointed in you . 」

The king gave a short response .

The disdain in those eyes was obvious .

And then, the king looked towards Amelia .

「…Amelia, my daughter . 」

The look in his eyes was completely different from just now, he seemed apologetic, as if he was going to kneel down .

Like a husband whose affair was exposed .

Amelia finally lifted her head .

She firmly looked him in the eyes .

「The various incidents up until now, it was truly inexcusable . 」

The king silently bowed his head towards Amelia .

Amelia and Kirika’s eyes widened, and the other elves surrounding us were noisy as well .

He was exuding the presence of a king just a while ago, but he had completely turned into a father .

「For me to exile my daughter who knew nothing of the outside due to anger and left her on her own, I wasn’t thinking straight . Even if I had become strange because of Kirika’s skill, I am not qualified to be a father or a king . 」

“It was inexcusable,” the king said, and he gave a deep bow once again .

「Why… . 」

These words finally came out of Amelia’s small mouth .

…I kept silent due to the atmosphere, but Yoru and I had completely turned into air .

In addition, if Amelia ended up staying in the elven territory, we will part on friendly terms .

In accordance to our link, if one of us died, the other will as well .

We didn’t test it out yet, but if we used Amelia’s Resurrection Magic, I think that we could avoid those side-effects as well .

I left to all up to Amelia, and the person herself acknowledged it too .

However, if Amelia said that she would remain in the elven territory and will not go with us, then there was nothing that can stop me .

However, if Amelia said that she would remain in the elven territory and will not go with us, then there was nothing that can stop me .

There were many dangers if we’re going to the demons’ continent, there was the possibility of death .

It was like telling Amelia to die .

Truthfully, I could just ignore the demon king, but when I used the Eye of the World, the future that I was able to see in that instant ruled that out .

I didn’t know what was going on, but if I don’t go to the demon king’s castle, this world will end .

Of course, we won’t have the time to go back to our original world, we too will be swallowed up in it .

In the first place, this entire world was vague .

No, I should say that, from what I can see, it was vague .

Since I haven’t used the Eye of the World, it’s just my intuition, but there was someone within Retice castle whose status surpassed 100 .

It was most likely so for the king, as well as the the knights and butler jii-san who we met in the beginning, and the maids .

Only, the princess’s status was low .

If that’s the case, were those words,『In this world, the limit of the average person’s attack power, is 100, even for someone with a battle-oriented occupation, the limit is 500』, lies .

Certainly, while I do complain about the hero, for me to have believed that jii-san’s words, I’m still naive as well .

However, what if those words were true?

I understand that the heroes have to leave the castle some day for the subjugation of the demon king .

If, if they truly intended on bringing the heroes over onto their side, then wouldn’t there be no merit in lying in that place .

If they leave and meet other adventurers, their lie would be discovered immediately .

They may have tried to brainwash us with the crystal, but it wasn’t used like that .

The princess’s crystal was most likely something that ate into one’s mind little by little .

It was something that amplified the negative emotions that one already had .

Different world summoning, to be blunt, it’s stressful .

I wasn’t one of the people who didn’t have any negative emotions .

Besides, roughly summarized, it’s a curse, but it’s closer to mind manipulation .

That’s why, even though the exorcist…the girl with the Kansai accent dispelled it as well, it took time .

Although our levels were low, my classmates, including me, were a group of cheats .

It would be strange if she couldn’t dispel something like a curse .

Not being able to do that was because the classification was incorrect .

Not being able to do that was because the classification was incorrect .

It was my mistake for concluding that it was a curse .

At this time, wouldn’t they be able to make them have a falling out using the mind manipulation .

「…kira, …Akiraa!」

When I lifted my head, Amelia was worriedly looking towards me .

It seems that, perhaps due to the fact that there was no time to think in the dungeon, my mind wandered off too much .

「Are you okay?」

「Aah, no problem . 」

When I looked elsewhere, the king of the elves was looking at me .

Those eyes were the eyes of a father whose daughter was taken away…was something that I’ve never seen before so I don’t know, but the look on his face gave off that feeling .

Amelia was there, so he’s smiling, but his eyes were clearly rejecting me .

「What are you to Amelia?」

I felt like a blizzard was coming through .

Depending on your answer, I’ll kill you, that kind of feeling, huh .

Why don’t I answer him honestly .

「It’s a relationship where it was just two of us in a narrow and dark place for about a week . 」

The king’s face stiffened .

There was barely a smile left on his face, but the corners of his mouth was twitching .

「A, Akira, even if you don’t say it in such a misleading way… . Though it was certainly like that . 」

The smile had completely disappeared from the king’s face .

「You are called Akirkun, right?」

「Yes . 」

「Please have a match with me . 」

「Ha?」

Why did it become like this .

I glanced at Kirika .

This guy was glaring at Amelia .

Wasn’t she doing something to us earlier .

「My daughter wants to go with you . To the demon’s territory, of all things . 」

Wasn’t she doing something to us earlier .

「My daughter wants to go with you . To the demon’s territory, of all things . 」

I was surprised and looked at Amelia .

Certainly, I wanted that, but even though she finally reconciled with her father, did she not want to go home .

Perhaps she knew what I was thinking, Amelia shook her head .

「Akira, do you know the reason why otousama is not under Kirika’s charm right now?」

「No, I don’t know . 」

When Amelia turned around, she looked at the elves who were still directing their killing intent towards us .

「It’s because otousama’s level is higher than Kirika’s . His skills as well as his status are inferior to his daughter’s, but in terms of level, otousama’s is higher . In this elven territory, only otousama can win against Kirika . 」

Amelia suddenly stared at me .

「Akira not being charmed by Kirika is also because, Akira’s status is above her’s . Due to the same reason, my Curse Reversal is not effective against this charm either . It would be best if Kirika turned it off, but she probably wouldn’t do that . 」

Glancing at Kirika who was clearly glaring at herself, Amelia said that .

How should I say it, she’s become strong .

Even though she was trembling at that gaze until just now, she’s become admirable .

What did she talk about with her father .

「I can understand that . But, why are you going to the demon territory?」

「…that’s because, Akira wants me to . You need my Resurrection Magic, right? Besides, I want to go with Akira too . We’ll always be together from now on . 」

Perhaps, this was a proposal .

Her hand clasped in front of her chest, Amelia looked at me with tears in her eyes .

Perhaps it’s because there’s not much difference in our heights, it was unfortunate that she wasn’t looking at me with upturned eyes .

This was how she usually pleaded with me when we were in the dungeon .

I was weak against that, just how much meat was taken .

「…I got it . Rather, you want to ask me, but before that, do something about your father and younger sister . 」

The king was glaring at me just like Kirika was glaring at Amelia .

Furthermore, Yoru, who had been completely forgotten, was leaning on me with its huge body .

『…am I, air? Master-dono . 』

「Gulp… . 」

The shadow magic completely swallowed up the arrows, and when I stuck my chin out as if saying that I could still keep going, a third party’s voice reverberated throughout the plaza
