My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

Happy Wednesday!

Heres the new chapter, I hope you enjoy.

There are no stairs leading to the next floor.

ha?

After cuddling Black Cat for a while, when I decided to go on to the next level, Amelia said that.

I squinted and looked around the room.

In the dreary and enormous room, there was one door.

That was the door that we used to enter the room.

Moreover, it cant be opened from this side.

Certainly, there were no stairs leading downwards that shouldve already appeared.

No need to guess, its probably because of me.

Black Cat shook its body and after he gave a big yawn, he muttered that.

Two peoples cold gaze locked onto it.

Those gazes asked it, to properly explain what was going on.

Its the boss room, so the dungeon wouldnt allow me, who is the boss, to continue living.

Smiling with a hint of self-deprecation, Black Cat casted those golden eyes downward.

Thats why I told you to kill me. Do you want to starve to death here? As expected, races other than the demons and monsters are incompatible.

As Black Cat sadly muttered that, I looked down at the ground and thought about a solution.

Withdrawing like this would be annoying.

Certainly, killing you would be the easiest way.

But, its too early to give up.

At Amelias voice, Black Cat and I looked up.

Amelia stared at Black Cat.

The gold and the red intersected.

Youre saying that you have a plan?

Akira can just name you.

Name?

What did it mean to name someone.

Unlike me who tilted my head in confusion, Amelia and Black Cat nodded at each other.

I see, if thats the case, I wouldnt be the boss anymore, and then we would be able to leave this room!

Itll definitely turn out well. Also, it you shapeshifted and become smaller, your appearance would only be that of a black cat. Even if youre in front of other people, no one would find it strange.

I see, I see, then without delay, this man! Name me!

Wait, wait, properly explain it.

Black Cat seemingly looking like it would pounce on me at any time, I panicked.

Black Cat was, more or less, smaller than a dragon, but its bigger than us.

Im confident that I would be able to stop it, but the impact would be frightening.

Itll be fine if you become my master.

You abbreviated too much.

Certainly, I never told them where I came from, but the explanation just now, even normal people wouldnt understand.

Leaving Black Cat who was excited and couldnt talk aside, and I turned towards Amelia.

Perhaps Amelia was also a bit excited, her cheeks were turning red.

However, it was more preferable than Black Cat.

Demons are the only ones who can control monsters. But, once in several hundred years, there would be a person who has a link with monsters. It was something that was from much earlier than when I was born.

Amelia paused at that time.

The one who thought of giving names to monsters was the first hero-sama. By giving a name, it would allow the human and monster to have a genuinely meaningful link between them.

The first heros name came uo, once again.

Just this first hero, although he shouldve been someone from a very long time ago, he left a frightening amount of things behind.

What is a genuinely meaningful link.

Firstly, the one who gave the name would be able to pinpoint the monsters position, not matter where it went.

Hou, thats certainly useful.

I wouldnt lose sight of it.

However, conversely, didnt that mean that the monsters freedom would be lost.

Afterwards, the two people would acquire the magicTelepathy.

That, is that the one where you can communicate even if we dont talk?

I have never used it, but its probably that.

Thats quite fancy.

It was fine as Black Cat can talk, but normal monsters were not able to.

This was the measure put in place for that.

Or rather, why was this guy able to talk?

The link is impossible if theres no mutual consent. Threatening them and forcing them against their will is also impossible.

However, once connected, if the original link that both parties consented to is not broken, we will be together until death.

until death?

Thats right, Black Cat modded.

Somehow, it felt like it was grinning.

In the situation where there is a link, if one dies, the other will die as well. Its that kind of contract.

Thats great.

It was definitely better than being left with a lifelong scar, or being in pain forever.

Rather than death, I hated pain.

I felt Amelias worried gaze, but Im fine with it.

Death was certainly frightening, but as long as Amelias by my side, its impossible for me to die.

normal people, would hesitate when they hear this explanation and withdraw, but. are you actually human?

No, Ive already entered the realm of a complete monster and a freak.

If that wasnt the case, I would challenge you to another match.

I laughed at Black Cat whose laughter was stuck in its throat.

And, its facial expression stiffened at the same time.

Then, put your hands on top of each other.

At Amelias words, I went in front of Black Cat who was still unable to move, and put my own hand on top of its huge paw.

Akira, a name.

I, with a nod, looked straight into those golden eyes.

I somehow or another felt like I knew, the words that I needed to say.

My name is Oda Akira. The person who will become your master. I shall grant you a name.

My new master, Oda Akira. I, will go together with you, no matter the place. Until one of us dies, until that time, we will always be together.

Your name isYoru. Named after that beautiful fur that looks like the night sky.

Yoruits a good name. From now on, my name shall be Yoru, I pledge to serve you.

Please treat me well, Yoru.

We were enveloped in a white light, enveloped in warmth.

I felt some kind of intangible link between Yoru and I.

So this was the so called link, huh.

Amelia took a step forward and put her hand on top of mine.

The white light had disappeared before I knew it.

Please treat me well too, Yoru.

I should be the one saying that, Ill be relying on you, Miss Amelia.

Un. That crest on your forehead too, looks good on you. Akira too, that crest on your arm, looks great.

At Amelias words, my gaze moved towards my own arm, I was startled.

There was a black crest on both my arms.

And, a white crest with the same design was also on Yorus forehead.

That seems to be the only visible evidence of the link.

With this, I can openly go with you, Master-dono.

Your master is the demon king though.

Its known as the second master. Dont bother with the small details.

How sketchy.

When I looked over at the corner of the room, a magic circle that was not there until now was shining blue.

That magic circle, somehow seemed similar to the one that resulted in me coming to this world.

Its as weve guessed, the path to continue onward has opened.

But, Yoru still cant move.

I wont die from using a large amount of magic power to shapeshift, but if I sustained a heavy injury, I wont be able to move for two, three days.

I was the one who caused the heavy injury though.

I, for the time being, unwrapped the food that I kept for emergencies.

This is a safety zone. Lets go slowly. In the meanwhile, listen to my story.

Un, mine too.

If we talked more, we should be able to get along that much more.

Definitely.
