My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

This is terrible.

Seeing the collapsed passageway that used to connect the beastmen territory and the demon territory, Kurou-san muttered this.

What he had created with the former hero was completely damaged.

I wonder just how much time and effort it took to excavate an underground passage to another continent.

Judging from the dense magic power remaining, even I understood that the culprits were the demons.

Sorry, but theres no time to be sad over it. Is there anything inside that is still usable?

Looking at the glow from the magic stones that illuminated the passageway and the somewhat strangely colored magic stones, Yoru-san said this.

Yoru-san, who took on the appearance of a black cat, had arrived shortly after the battle unit, who were seemingly having a heated argument with each other, had departed.

I honestly didnt want to recall what Amaryllis-san was like when she saw that he had brought the medicinal plants.

The beauty who was first place in the pageant, drooled when she saw the precious medicinal plants, with stars in her eyes.

As expected, Yoru-san seemed to draw back as well.

the magic stones and crystals here could probably still be used. Theres a bit of magic power remaining in them. The ones here are completely no good.

With a somewhat dispirited look on his face, Kurou-san answered with this.

I wonder, in his mind, what kind of people were the former heroes.

They definitely had a closer relationship than us who were merely in the same class.

Aoi, RookLitta.

He stood there by himself, muttering that over and over as if he were chanting an incantation.

I wonder if theyre someones names.

Itll be this, and that, huh. Alright, lets evacuate before it collapses. Kurou, were moving on to the next one.

In response to Yoru-sans indifferent voice, I seem to have heard the sound of something physically breaking.

Seriously, theres also a limit to not reading the mood.

This part of him was definitely similar to Oda-kun.

I grabbed the black cat that was walking around in front of me by the scruff of his neck, and dangled him before me.

Just like a lot of other cats, it seems that even he, who was a monster, when grabbed there, would be powerless.

Oi, what are you doing! Let go!!

After exchanging looks with Ria-san, I went back to the surface with Yoru-san in tow, leaving the two people alone.

If its Ria-sans barrier, it should be able to protect her and Kurou-san.

Oi! Im telling you to let go!!

In an instant, his body became bigger and having escaped from me, Yoru-san landed on the ground in his smaller size, filled with menace towards me.

Come to think of it, the cat kept by obaachan also intimidated me just like this.

Why the heck did you do that!!

I stood there imposingly in front of Yoru-san who hissed like a cat.

Do you not have any feelings!? You dont feel anything when you see Kurou-san like that?

I do. However, I also do not know how many days it will take to go through everything if he is like this. You too should understand, dont you?

Certainly, there was some truth in what he said.

If he was like that at every place we visit, far from finishing before the sun set, it would take several days.

Thats how many passageways Kurou-san and the former hero party left behind, moreover, they were all in complete ruins and even now, seemed to be about to cave in.

If we wasted time like this, there was a possibility that many of them would collapse completely and be blocked off.

However, I didnt want to affirm that claim, so I violently shook my head like a child throwing a temper tantrum.

Thats not it! thats not what I meant. You, a monster, might not have lost someone close to you, but forever being unable to meet them is not something that everyone can endure! Much less Kurou-san who had lost many people whom he cherished. Even though he is someone who can not bear to lose even a single person!!

I said it as if I understood, but I too had similarly not lost someone close to me.

However, after hearing such heartbreak in his voice, I couldnt just not say anything.

I, do not have the qualifications to worry about that guy.

For the first time in my life, I screamed emotionally, the words rushing out of my mouth, and breathing heavily, I glared at Yoru-san.

Looking straight into my eyes without looking away, Yoru-san said this in response.

Did you know that I was created by demon king-sama, and worked as his right-hand man?

Come to think of it, we had left the castle and the first time we met up with Oda-kun at Kurou-sans house in the beastmen territory, we had heard various things from Kurou-san, Amelia-san, and he himself as we waited for the unconscious Oda-kun to wake up.

At that time, it seems that thinking that there was such an interesting cat among the monsters, I had only paid attention to part of what they said.

When Kurou, who thought that they were going to die, and the former hero arrived at the demon kings castle, I had been by the demon king-sama;s side. To protect the demon king-sama and help him escape in the unlikely event that something happened. They had been defeated by the second-ranked demon when they arrived before the door that led to the throne room, and then together with the other demons, we mocked them as they ran away.

I gasped, as Yoru-san calmly continued the story.

I could not imagine that after seeing how he behaved now, riding on Oda-kun;s shoulder.

I didnt know if something had happened before meeting Oda-kun or afterwards, but it seems that Yoru-san was the demon kings right-hand man both in mind and body.

Certainly, I just thought that he had been by the demon kings side reluctantly.

Furthermore, Adoreas Nightmare. At that time, it seems that that guys younger sister who had been kicked off the evacuation ship by Gram was crushed under a building, but to begin with, the one who was commanded by demon king-sama to execute Adoreas Nightmare, and the one who rampaged so wildly that the buildings had collapsed was me. I had wanted and wished to be of help to demon king-sama and that was the result of my rampage.

I had yet to see Yoru-san fight.

Amelia-san had boastfully talked about how he had usedMetamorphosisto transform into a dragon when they first met.

Of course, I, who had not seen that scene, had poor imagination and could not recreate it in my mind.

Not noticing my reaction, Yoru-san continued to confess his sins.

I regretted it precisely because I had seen that stone monument that was constructed later on, but up until that time, I had not a speck of interest as to what I had done wrong, or if I had snatched something away from somebody.

Suddenly, a pair of golden eyes pierced into me.

Unknowingly, my body stiffened.

Even though some kind of magic was not cast on me, though his bloodlust was pointed towards me, those calm eyes had only looked at me and I could not move.

Do you understand? I am the one who killed the many people whom that guy lost. Theres no way that the one who killed could worry and comfort the one who had been on the receiving end of that, right?

That kind of thing was left to Master-dono and Ria-dono, Yoru-san muttered this, and turned back towards the basement with his tail drooping.

Not being able to move even after Yoru-san had left, I was standing there in place.

Even though I was able to directly tell the other party what I wanted to say in the beginning, the meaning had not been understood.

how difficult.

When I was in my original world, I did not think that words were this difficult.

The beautiful blue sky that had not a single cloud was, contrary to my heart, extremely warm.
