After I passed my exams, my dad started taking me with him to work.
　He would use me as an assistant for both his work as a doctor out front and as an assistant in the back office.
　I guess it was because he accepted me enough to decide that I wasn't going to be a liability.

My father was even more awesome in the real world than he was in training.
　My father said there was nothing more to teach me, but I had a lot to learn.
　I learned a lot from watching him.
　In fact, I never really admired the skills of others in the first world, but every time I watch my father work, I almost squeal in admiration.

My goal is to combine the assassination techniques of my first life with the assassination techniques of this world.
　Both techniques have their strengths and weaknesses. I'm going to take advantage of the strengths and weaknesses of both.

And you did an excellent job today.
Yeah. It's working.
'Yes, to learn the job in the field. And to learn the structure of the building's interior, the placement of the guards, and the competence of the subject in case I eventually have to assassinate him. It's not every day you get the chance to get into a nobleman's mansion.

A nobleman's mansion is not just a dwelling place, but also a fort to fight off bandits.
　It's so much more than just a mansion; counts and marquises even have castles instead of mansions.
　If you are going to sneak in as an assassin, knowing the structure is a weapon.

A doctor's face is useful.
　He could legally visit a nobleman's mansion like this.
　Even if you're not a target now, you may eventually become one.
　It's important to see them while you can.

'You're right. The rogue is a good assassin, you know. Scary much.
I'm your father's son.

For a moment, my father smiled sadly.
　I don't understand what that means.
　It's not like he has any doubts about making his son an assassin.

Today's work is the front office, but three days ago, I was shaken by his brilliant skills in the back office.
　It's because I'm the one who understands the magnificence of that technique.
　To a normal person, it would look like I just snuck in nonchalantly and slit the throat of a sleeping target.
　It's not that hard, you'd think.
　The great thing about my father is that he can make any task seem easy, no matter how difficult it is. Everything is so perfect and sluggish that it seems like nothing at all.

It is precisely because of this level of skill that the assassination of a nobleman is possible.
　The reason why Touahade, a nobleman, goes out of his way to perform assassination duties is that only a nobleman with magical powers can kill a nobleman. And moreover, it is significant that only Touahade is able to end it in secret.

''Rougu, you still haven't told me about the final trial.
'Yes. It's been bothering me for a long time.

My father told me the day I took the test, 'There will be a final trial'.
　That final trial has yet to take place.

'Many of our, Touahade's assassinations are quite simple, like the last one, where they sneak into the mansion and kill their targets. Because it's so simple, it's hard to leave any evidence behind. However, when it comes to a cautious nobleman, it's extremely difficult to infiltrate with countless wards, extremely tight security systems, etc. ........In such cases, they will attend a party hosted by the target under a false identity. Alternatively, they often end up in a position where they are invited by the target.

I nodded at him.
　I'd done that in a previous life. Cook, college professor, pianist, coordinator, architect, dealer, I approached my target with various identities.
　I have aliases, knowledge, skills and qualifications for that.

'Touahade could go into my pocket as the public face, the doctor, and make it look like I was sick and dying. But, conveniently, patients are rarely the target. So he has a false identity. It's the cooks and merchants who use them a lot. The aristocrats usually use hired cooks, but when it comes to large parties, they are short of people, so they ask the Culinary Guild to send out top chefs... and we have a messenger in the Culinary Guild, who can disguise himself as the cooks they send out and blend in.
I'm surprised. I've never seen your father cook.
'Aside from the rogue, that guy sulks when I cook. I don't cook at home. I'm proud to say, but my skills are top-notch.

That would be true. Even if you are going to blend in as a representative, you still need to be competent enough to wield your skills at a great aristocrat's party.
　You must have top-notch skills because you receive instructions from the hired cooks and immediately respond to the recipes you have never seen before.

Then you want me to learn the art of cooking as well.
'I have more important skills than that. I want Lug to become a merchant. A nobleman is a contented man. They can have whatever they want. Then they look for things to which they can direct their desires... treasures from across the sea, jewels more beautiful than anyone has ever seen, works of art born of superlative skill, and merchants who come to them with these souvenirs will invite them in unguarded.
'Your father has a handlers to get that trade name.

No matter how greedy they are, a mere peddler will not be able to get rid of them. I'd like to use the name of the Grand Chamber of Commerce.

''Yes, I have three names. I have three names. As the Lugues know me, Kian Touahade, Baron of the Kingdom of Alvan. Toari Bahar, the cook of Ulster. Dwarf Gharna, the young head of the Carrad business community. All of them have proper household registers and are real in record time. If you forge a fictitious person's family register, it will be ragged if it is checked. ........That's why Toari and Dwarf were born at the same time as I was born.

When you say that much, even a fool can understand.

'So you're saying that I have several other family registers in addition to the name Lug?
"At the same time you were born, two human beings were born. Irg Balor, son of the master of the Balor Trading Company, born to a prostitute. Saphil Oguma, the blacksmith's son.

Thoroughly.
　If you forge the family register later, it will be distorted.
　Therefore, the family registers of two fictitious people are made at the same time of their birth. That way, no discrepancies will be created and there will be no problems even if they are examined.
　........But if you do that, you will continue to pay the capitation tax on two non-existent people, and you will owe a large amount of money to the families of those two people.
　Still, they would do it, and that's why they're touahade.

'Aside from Oguma the blacksmith, I'm surprised that the head of the Balor Chamber of Commerce helped you to forge the household registration. Speaking of Balor, it's one of the leading merchant cities in the Murteu territory.

The Murteu territory is the territory to the south of Touahade, facing the sea and the largest port town in the Kingdom of Arvan. It has the most active commerce in the country.
　When it comes to the leading trade association there, it is much more powerful than Touahade.

I used to be in your debt. 'Two years. For two years, until you turn fourteen, you will train as a merchant as a son of Balor. The rogue's other name, Irg Balor, was ostensibly adopted to please his legitimate wife. The only reason I'm returning this time is because my legitimate wife's son has fallen ill and needs a spare... that's how it's set up.

Then it's not unreasonable.
　But what I'm concerned about is learning a trade for two long years.
　My father doesn't tell me to do anything for nothing. It's worth spending two years there.

'I will know the world, make contacts, prepare a network of information. And I will have the rank to be able to head to the nobility under the name of Irg rather than under the sign of Balor Trading Company. If you're going to be in the Balor Chamber of Commerce for two years, you should at least do that.

My father nodded with satisfaction.
　Murteu is the largest commercial city and port city in this country.
　The fact that goods from all over the world gather here means that people from all over the country gather for these things, and it's a place where all kinds of information can be gathered.

It's more than a royal city, it's the center of the world.
　If you can spend two years of your life there meaningfully, you will be able to open up your vision. You will be able to develop your eyesight to see the world.
　If you can play an active role as a merchant, you will be able to make various connections and connections.
　The Chamber of Commerce has a wide range of information network for business. If you can make use of that network, it will be useful for assassinations.
　Finally, if you become enough of a merchant that the nobles will be happy to greet you at the mention of the name Irg, you will get a free pass to kill.

These four goals for the time being.
　Quit to the Balor Chamber of Commerce in Murteu territory. Over the next two years, you will perfect yourself as an Irg Balor.
　As an assassin, I have what it takes to be an assassin, but I'll also be useful in killing brave men.
　Currently, we don't even know if the heroes have already been born, let alone found. I knew I needed an eye to gather information from all over the world. That was not something that could be done by an individual.
　Money, information, and connections. Sometimes these can be more powerful weapons than combat power.
　I will get them.
