I don't mean to be a "humanist", but I don't despise the "absolute independence of race" for the sake of sparing lives. Because--"

　I spit out a large number of square boxes from my item box in front of the mad clown, who was on a roll, thinking that I had taken everyone in the racial kingdom capital hostage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This box is the one that Mad Clown had been talking loudly about poison gas.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I had already collected all the placed boxes and neutralized the poison in them.

That's absurd!　How can you have all the magic items that contain poison gas?　Ah!　You're bluffing!　You're trying to trick me by bluffing!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first, the clown shouts an upset line, but soon he can't accept the fact and starts screaming, "It's a bluff to fool me.

　In a sense, his behavior was so predictable that I let out a sigh with a rather exaggerated shrug of my shoulders.

I knew you would say that," he said. If you think I'm bluffing, why don't you try activating the magic items you've placed in the room right now? It's an exercise in futility, though, since everything has already been retrieved and is here now."

"Pssst!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At my suggestion, Mad Clown pulled out a small plate-shaped object from his pocket, touched the magic stone in the middle, and muttered quietly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guessed that his muttering was the word that would activate the box.

　Following Mad Clown's instruction, some of the boxes piled up in front of me "popped" open.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that not all of the boxes were opened, but some of them were opened as a trial.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The contents of the boxes are already non-toxic, so there is no point in opening them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When the box in front of him is proven to be real, the mad clown makes a startled face again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'How come the box is here!　Why?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'...... I ask you on the contrary, why did you think you'd be targeted by assassins and not pay attention to your surroundings?　If there are people who leave suspicious-looking boxes around, it is natural to analyze what kind of boxes they are, collect them if they are dangerous, and neutralize them. Did you really think we would just sit back and let you get beat up?

　I said the line strongly to get the mad clown's attention.

　In fact, he entered the capital of the racial kingdom, and all the while he was making suspicious movements, he was being watched with the help of his friends from the "Nutrients".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After he left the suspicious box and started to go around, I had them collect it and go around to retrieve it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I continue to point out.

'I also know that there were others waiting for him at the inn, and I know that although he has knocked out all of his employees, he has no deaths to hold them hostage in case of an emergency.

What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The mad clown's face is painted white, so I can't make out his complexion, but I can tell by his hands that he has turned blue as if his blood has been drained.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't relax my hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I would like to add that the poison is soaked into his seven-colored hair and clothes, and that he attacked us inside the inn because it is more efficient for him to absorb the poison in an airtight indoor environment. And I'm just guessing here, but that clown outfit is also so that the opponent won't think you're unnatural if you make exaggerated movements as if you're on stage, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To my point, the mad clown sweats as if his head were covered with a lot of water.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I add.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I add, "I wonder if the poisons are paralyzing, rather than instantly deadly?　But unfortunately, poisons don't work on us. It doesn't matter if it's instant death, paralysis, or sleep, they all nullify it."

"............"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The mad clown no longer had time to be astonished by the exaggeration he had just made, and he continued to glare at me grudgingly, breaking out in a profusion of cold sweat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, all my points were correct.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's not something I'm proud of because it's all so easy to find out by observing him. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The most unfortunate thing is that Mad Clown, one of the elite members of the "Morte Spada," the self-proclaimed "world's best assassination society," is only paying attention to me as I continue to talk, even though he is right on target.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I never thought it would be so easy to get ...... caught, no matter how much he talks and moves to get attention.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I sigh loudly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sighs made the mad clown's shoulders tremble as if he were frightened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can't help but point this out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm an assassin, but you're too preoccupied with me alone.　Are you really the "World's Best Assassination Society"?　How come they still don't even realize they've taken a hostage back ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Only when I point this out does the mad clown notice the absence of his female employee who was tucked in on the couch.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I wonder, when did this happen?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

When Master Dirk said, 'If I were to add anything else, it would be to the seven colors of hair, clothing, etc.~.' It was too late to notice!"

Gubey!

　From behind, Nemmu slams a hand sword into the mad clown's neck, knocking him unconscious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In Nemmu's one arm was a woman who had been held hostage unconscious on a sofa.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After she rescued the hostage, she went behind Mad Clown's back and took his consciousness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She blurts out with a sigh while confirming that the mad clown has lost consciousness with his white eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'I was wary of them because they're the best assassin group in the world, but ...... there was so much waste that at first I suspected it was a trap, but ...... it wasn't like that at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

As the Lord pointed out, "Is this really the best assassination society in the world?　I'd still rather believe it was the world's greatest comedy troupe."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Me and Gold point out that Nemmu laid the rescued woman on the couch again, while restraining the mad clown.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Dark, this time it was probably the weakest among the executives ...... "Morte Spada" (Deadly Sword). That's why they were able to take advantage of us so much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nemum tells the story.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Taking hostages, making demands that they have no choice but to accept, and enjoying the look of despair on their faces, are unnecessary acts in assassination. This guy is not an assassin, but just a fun-loving criminal. It just so happens that he has been doing so well up to now that he has become a senior member of the 'Assassination Society Executioners (Blow).'"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She finished restraining the mad clown and went to the trouble of using "R, Wash" to clean her hands after touching him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While cleaning off the dirt, Nemmu tells him with a serious expression on her face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'But perhaps those who are about to attack us are real assassins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She turned to us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I am advising you as 'UR, Assassin Blade Nemmu Level 5000,' not as 'Fellow Adventurer Nemmu. Be careful once you are on the ground, even if you are inside the lowest level of the Abyss. They will try every means to kill you, Master Dirk, whether it be by stealth, assassination, or subterfuge. Even if they are at a lower level, do not let your guard down. The carelessness of your opponent could prove fatal--that's what a "real assassin" is like.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Nemmu, the top assassin even in the lowest level of "The Abyss," assured us with strong eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a fellow assassin, he told me sincerely that I should never let my guard down even if my opponent is of a lower rank.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was all out of concern for my safety.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nemmu kneels down in front of me and assures me once again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Therefore, as "UR, Assassin Blade Nemmu Level 5000," even if a bunch of real assassins attacked me, I would never let Dark I will absolutely protect myself, sir.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nemmu advised me to be very vigilant because assassination is his specialty, but at the same time, he assured me that he would absolutely protect me out of his pride as the best assassin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is a very encouraging attitude.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thanked her for her sincere loyalty with a big smile on my face, even through my mask.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Thank you, Nemmu. I will continue to rely on you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes!　With all my might, I, Nemmu, will protect Master Dirk from the filthy blades of real assassins!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nemmu, while picturing in his mind's eye the real assassin "Morte Spada" who would attack him in the future, assured the audience with great strength.
