I woke up that evening.
Crow and the night quieted me as I insisted on going to find Amelia right away.


''From now on, the darkness will get darker and darker. It's true, the darkness is the domain of assassins, but don't forget that it's the domain of demons.''
You're still a long way from feeling better. Go back to sleep.


I couldn't understand how they could stay calm and I was annoyed that I couldn't go to Amelia.


'How can you be so calm, ......?'


I pounded on the wall to disperse my frustration.
I knew I was taking it out on them.
I know that the reason I'm in this state right now is because I used shadow magic without thinking twice, and I know that the two of them are worried about Amelia and can't bear to worry about her.
But I couldn't help but hit them.


"...... I didn't calm down, Lord.
I'm trying to keep my composure. "The Dark Assassin, sir?"


Irritated by Crowe's aloof reply, I was about to open my mouth again when something caught my attention.


"'Yami no Antsasha'?"


I was so upset that I couldn't help but get into hiragana.
My head was so confused that it didn't convert to kanji.

Crow looks at me like that and smirks.
I've heard a lot of sarcasm from Crowe since we met, but this is the first time I've seen a smile that sends a chill down my spine like this.


''I hear that's ...... the Lord's two names.''


The night says the thing I least want to be told.
Is this guy intentional or something?
My best friend, Kyosuke, is completely unaware and pinpoints places that people don't want to be touched, but maybe that's his mouth at night too?


It seems that everyone saw the last time you used shadow magic to annihilate a demon from the hill where you were taking refuge. For a yellow-ranked adventurer, the two names were decided quickly, which is unusual for a yellow-ranked adventurer. And it's guild-approved. ...... It's a good idea. I've been given a very cool name.


I pat him on the shoulder and Crow walks out of the room.
I put my head in my hands.


'No, no, what's the point of having an assassin stand out?'
''Yes, that's true. Well, I don't think our Lord will be behind these other assassins.


The night is doing what seems to be a follow-up, but that's not where my hurt is.
What the hell is ......?
Those are two names that are so kitchen-ish!
I mean, what are two names!
I've never heard of that before!
I didn't know there was such a system!


...... Absolutely, I don't want my classmates to know about this. Especially to Kyousuke and the heroes: ......


I'm sure Kyousuke will say something like 'Good for you' with that blank expression again.
It's even more tawdry since that's also what he thinks from the bottom of his heart.

The brave man will surely make a blatantly drawn out face.
I'm sure that when I tell him what happened, he will say, 'That was a disaster.
That pissed me off, but I could envision the girls asking me about the conversation afterwards and telling me everything, to the point where it spread to the entire class.

I sigh, holding my head in my hands.


'...... haha. Hey night, can't we make the two names more innocuous?
Nothing I couldn't do, but the word "dark assassin" is all over the street. It's going to be hard to undo that now.'


Not understanding the gravity of the situation, the night nodded its head, not knowing why it refused to give the two names that much.


'I see. ...... conspicuous or assassin. ...... or rather, my magic is not 'darkness' but 'shadow'.


There's a hint of agreement with my words from my shadow.
Right, you'd think so too, wouldn't you?


''From a distance, it must have looked like they were following the darkness. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's not. I'm not sure if it's a shadow, but that time the entire sky was enveloped in darkness, so in a way it's not wrong.


Are there any two names that fit better than "The Dark Assassin"? And the night when he tilts his head back.
Crap.
The argument was broken.

In the first place, it seems to me that when you have magic with the shadow attribute and yet you're still an assassin, you're still in the kitchen.
If I were to return to the other world, I'd have to make it a top priority to keep these guys' mouths shut.


'...... I'm going to sleep quietly for today. But I'll be leaving early tomorrow morning!


As I pulled the covers over my head in frustration, I began to feel sleepy again.
Apparently, my body is still craving sleep.
I don't like the fact that it knows more about my body than I do, but I know it's thinking of me, so I'll bear with it.

Speaking of which, even in the other side of the world, when I'm frustrated or angry, if I'm covered with the futon, I usually fall asleep, and it's often unsettled.
It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it.


''Yes, yes.''
...... Yes, once.


With a blurred head, I said just that, and then my head fell to the futon again.


I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. It's not going to be cured in a day or two.''


After muttering that much, I left the room for the night.

Even though the shadow magic had self-healed its magic power, it was just barely within the acceptable range.
Because it was the very edge of not dying.
And Akira's body wants magic power.
To the extent that when you are near it, you feel as if you are being drained of magic power.
It's not that they are actually being pulled out, but if you walked around town in such a state, there's no telling what would happen.

For now, the only way to recover is to take the magic power recovery potion a little at a time, and then sleep to recover.
Akira's magic power recovery rate is seventy percent.
I think it would be good if we could get to this point, but I want to save one of the factors of anxiety when recapturing Amelia.

Akira also knows that, but he can't suppress his consciousness to go to Amelia, and his sleep is getting shallow.
That's why recovery, which normally takes a day or so, takes a couple of days.


...... quick, quick.
