My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's Chapter 58

Happy Monday!

Here's the new chapter, enjoy. As always, please let me know if there are any mistakes.

When I violently threw him onto the ground, perhaps he had completely woken up, the leader glared at me.

It seems that it was a good way to wake him up.

For me who had trouble getting up every morning, it made me envious.

「Now then, why don't you tell us everything you know? Including the information about Gram.」

When I silently took out a hidden weapon and pressed it against his throat, the leader looked at me with obvious fear in his eyes.

I didn't emit any killing intent.

I didn't even have any intention of killing him in the least.

It was just a threat, but it seems that ordinary people didn't have the determination to kill.

I'm deviating, more and more from the norm.

「I, I don't have anything to say to you bastards!」

Although he had tears in his eyes, the leader declared that he would not sell his comrades out.

However, his body was trembling and seemed like he would faint at any time.

I sighed.

「I quit. Perhaps I don't look like a bad guy. Besides, I'm not really interested in Gram. I just thought that I'll ask anyway. If it seems like even you guys can't settle it, you can call me.」

When I retracted the blade, everyone there, including the leader, their jaws dropped, flabbergasted.

I wonder if I said something strange.

「Akira, are you saying that you'll no longer get involved in this incident?」

「Sorry, Amelia, that's how it is.」

I wasn't the protagonist who was brimming with a sense of justice.

Honestly, as long as those close to me weren't sad, what's going on with other people did not concern me.

The elves even had a country.

These kinds of incidents, would always happen at the country-level.

Besides, wouldn't it be great if it's so peaceful that there were no soldiers.

「Yes. Because I just follow Akira.」

「T, that!」

「Even Amelisama!」

William and the others raised their voices in despair.

Oi, oi, don't say something that that hero would say.

「That's how it is. Also, I had freed three hostages over there, so they should be coming over soon.」

When I pointed toward the gaps of the trees, the three hostages from just now came out from there.

The girl among them came closer and clung onto to me.

The other hostages too silently thanked me.

「Um, thank you for saving us, oniichan!」

「Aah, you're welcome.」

Even though that was all there was to it, I could see Amelia pouting in the corner of my eye.

I have to take care of her later.

『Is this really ok? Master-dono.』

Only Yoru came closer to me and whispered that.

I recalled the crest, that was engraved on the sword that I caught a glimpse of when I threw that guy down just now, while stroking that fur of Yoru's.

「Naa, Yoru, which country is the crest with three claw marks on top of a circle from?」

『Aah, if it's that, it's the crest of the beastmen's largest country, Uruk, but…it can't be!』

I nodded at, Yoru whose widened its eyes.

「Aah, their swords were engraved with that crest. These guys are, knights pretending to be kidnappers.」

『Th, the knights are kidnappers…. However, why did they have the crests that would expose them on the swords?』

「Who knows? It was only engraved on one person's sword, and it could be that many of the swords were damaged so they had no choice but to use them or something like that?」

It's only this guy, who was violently and unreasonably waving his sword around, so perhaps he didn't want that crest to be seen.

Though, it seems that it was no match for my monstrous kinetic vision.

『Will you tell Miss Amelia and the elves about this matter?』

「I won't. I barely have any evidence and the matter is too important to talk about based on speculations. Besides, Amelia is, more or less, a princess. Moreover, she may rule over the elves in the future.」

I said that to the elves, but I would most likely involved myself in this matter.

『I got it. I will do as Master-dono says.』

「Thank you, Yoru.」

I didn't know why the country of beastmen, Uruk, would kidnap elven girls, and want Amelia.

I will never, give Amelia to them.

「What's left is who Gram is.」

『The name of the current king is not Gram. If I remember correctly, the prime minister had a name like that, but….』

「Maa, it's fine. I will destroy those who come and will not let anyone get away.」

『…Master-dono, isn't that somewhat different?』

The gloomy atmosphere from just now completely changed, staring at the two talking harmoniously from further away, Amelia softly breathed out.

「Akira, I want to be Akira's strength too.」
