63 Episode 62 ~ Question ~






Explain to me what you guys are talking about in a way that I can understand.


Linga-san's lips twitched, and I blurted out an explanation about the World Eye.
Even though he's a guild master, I can't tell him everything.
Well, I'll tell you everything after I know if I can really trust you.
I don't have much to hide, though.


'Well, all right. There are only two things we need to figure out. Oda Akira, are you a hero summoned from another world by a heroic summoning?


It seems that rumors are spreading that a certain country of the human race has successfully summoned a brave man.
I locked eyes with the night to see if I could say it.


''...I see. And now for my follow-up question.


After seeing me and the night's reaction, Linga guessed and moved on to the next question.
If I don't keep my poker face on, I'm still not good at this kind of tactics.


''You there, squire named Yol or something, you were the right hand of the Demon King, weren't you?


He was dimly aware that Night was close to the Demon King's position, but was he his right hand man?
If that was the case, then why did the Demon King mimic presenting his right arm to me?


You're right, but now I'm under the Lord's command. I'm not thinking of destroying this country like I did when I was a mischievous youngster, so don't worry.


Hey, I just dropped a bombshell, didn't I?
Explain it to me.


''When the squire there met the demon, he was the right hand of the demon king and tried to destroy this country... or rather, this continent. Thanks to the heroic efforts of the then-brave master, a part of the castle where the Beastman King resided only collapsed and the city only fell apart, but then we became afraid of the black cat. The name of the proud beastmen race cries out.


I glanced at the night and saw him whistling, which was never good, in the direction of the day after tomorrow.
This guy doesn't have any remorse.
That's why the townspeople in the street saw me and ran away.
I'm sure the hoodlums before were too drunk to notice, but it was mentally unsettling to see ordinary citizens running away when they saw me.


''It was the Demon King's order, you know. And we were in the middle of a war at the time. I don't feel bad, and I'm not going to apologize for it either.''
I know. I just wanted to make sure.


Amelia is stunned by the fact that the pure and innocent night on the outside is really a god of destruction.
No, don't be fooled by appearances.
This guy is the kind of guy who would do dragon breath as soon as you meet him.
If you recall.
He really was a god of destruction in the beginning, you know.


''Oh, Lord, I can hear you all through the middle of the telepathic conversation...''


That's how he thought about it.
And the night sulked.


''After all, it seems that it's certain that the squire and his master are connected by the skill of telekinesis. That's a valuable sample.''


I looked around and saw what looked like a camera on the ceiling.
It wasn't as malicious as the camera I had seen when I first arrived in this world, so it seemed I had missed it.


'A camera in your room, that's a lot of security.


Aren't they too strict for a mere guildmate?


''There are often times when the most precious treasures of the beastmen race are placed here. That's why.
Treasure, you don't mind talking to us like that, do you?


Don't you think we're actually robbers and have come to steal that treasure?


No, I don't think so. If it was a robbery, we wouldn't have a squire with us. And a black cat's squire would certainly stand out.


We're a little too proud for a burglar who doesn't like to stand out, aren't we?
When Amelia is here, we already stand out.
Yes, speaking of conspicuous, it's the opposite.


"Your extra skill, your "non-interference", is that supposed to make you completely unrecognizable to others?
Yeah, but. I'm a civilian to the core. On top of that, I'm acrophobic and can't see a knife properly. That's why I kicked myself out of the respectable profession of assassin.


I couldn't even use a fork, and chopsticks are fine, so they're getting chopsticks from the country of Yamato.
I stared at Linga-san's status display.
Indeed, it says in the occupation column that she is an assassin.
The exact same one as me.
In other words, we're the same profession.
The skill "non-interference" is apparently used to secretly come to this room to organize papers.
I thought it was just the street and that it would get such a strange reputation.
If there were other people in the same profession, I would probably say it was a waste of time.
In fact, I thought that for a moment, too.
But that's the way to live, this is the way to live.


Now, let's get down to business. Let's get down to business.


When Linga said that, I felt the air tighten up.
