My Status As An Assassin Obviously Exceeds The Hero's Chapter 66

Happy Monday!

Here's the new chapter, enjoy.

ED: Ignite

When I opened my eyes in the morning, there was a beautiful girl right in front of me.

I was bewildered for a moment before I finally grasped the situation.

Come to think of it, I fell asleep last night while hugging Amelia.

Asleep in a comfy bed, next to a transcendent beauty with her soft body pressed against mine…was this heaven?

Or rather, was this h.e.l.l because I didn't do anything?

As I was pondering over it in anguish, there was a creaking noise coming from the other bed.

I raised my body up a little and when I peeked over Amelia, I saw a large Yoru get up from the bed.

『…』

Yoru, who was not very good at getting up in the mornings, furrowed his brows as he got up and stretched his entire body.

Afterwards, he came around behind me, sank his teeth into my clothes and pulled.

「Ah, wai, Yoru?」

I let go of Amelia and separated from her so that I wouldn't wake her up.

Yoru dragged me off the bed, and without saying a word, started to take my clothes off.

Though I c.o.c.ked my head in puzzlement, under Yoru's urging, I undressed and changed clothes.

After making me change clothes, he woke Amelia up and made her change clothes.

I carefully separated from Amelia so she wouldn't wake up as Yoru dragged me off the bed.

He started to take my clothes off without saying a word.

Though this puzzled me, Yoru's insistence prevailed and I quickly undressed and changed clothes.

Once I was finished changing, he woke up Amelia and had her change as well.

「Yoru, what's wrong.」

When I looked at Yoru, he let out a yawn and finally opened his mouth to talk.

『Last night, I was searching for a blacksmith I knew. It seems that he is coming over now.』

With that said, he languidly returned to his bed.

Bewildered, Amelia and I looked at each other.

「He's coming now, you say, how do you know?」

As we tilted our heads in confusion, someone knocked on the door.

No, there was some strength to it, so it was probably more accurate to say that they pounded on the door.

「…come in.」

I responded after hiding a hidden weapon in my hand, just to be on the safe side, and then, Haru, as well as a black cat beastman entered.

「This is the blacksmith Kurou-san. He seems to be someone familiar-sama is acquainted with, so I gave him a pat-down just in case and then brought him over.」

The beastman known as Kurou glanced at Yoru before s.h.i.+fting his gaze towards Amelia and myself, examining us.

「A, aah, thank you, Haru.」

After saying, 'take your time', Haru left.

Once Haru was completely out of sight, Kurou opened his mouth to speak.

「It seems that you have the skills, but you are still a child. It doesn't mean anything even if that monster known as 'Adorea's Nightmare' follows you. Not to mention the elf over there.」

"Adorea's Nightmare"?

If I remember correctly, that was the beastmen's capital city.

Also, his extremely annoying way of speaking rubbed me the wrong way.

『Master-dono, even though he's like this, he's the world's number one blacksmith. Though he had a troublesome personality and barely has any customers as a result』

Yoru was sprawled out on the bed, and muttered that as he looked at the wall.

I raised my voice in agreement.

Heroes, and geniuses all had troublesome personalities.

「Thank you for explaining. For 'Adorea's Nightmare' to say that about me, as expected, it's embarra.s.sing.」

Kurou didn't look embarra.s.sed at all, but it seems that he was actually happy about it as his tail was raised up a little.

I see, this guy's a tsundere, huh.

TN: most of you should know what tsundere means, but for those who don't, they're people who act cold, but they actually care

「Nice to meet you, I'm Oda Akira. This is the high elf Amelia.」

Kurou gave a small nod and held out his hand when I introduced myself.

Unsure of what he meant by this gesture, I tilted my head in confusion. Kurou raised his voice as if he was irritated.

「Take out the weapon that you want me to repair.」

Understanding what he meant, I took out "Yatonokami".

The moment Kurou saw "Yatonokami", his eyes widened.

Without realizing that, I put the katana along with the scabbard in his hand.

「…fuun. It seemed like you were negligent in its maintenance, but that's not all. You probably went to the human territory's dungeon and overused it, didn't you.」

Amelia let out a voice filled with admiration at his eyes of observation that accurately pointed it out with just glance.

「Can it be repaired?」

When I asked that, Kurou shook his head.

As if saying, "good grief".

「Who do you think I am? It's just that, collecting the materials would be troublesome.」

While Kurou was carefully observing the blade of the katana and held it under the sun, Yoru elaborated on his behalf.

『This person is only repairing it, the materials and money needed for the repairs must be provided by us. For the funds, you can get some by hunting monsters, but getting the materials would be a bit troublesome.』

Hee, I nodded, and when I turned back to Kurou, I saw that the katana had been taken apart.

The guard and the handle were nimbly put back together.

「That is not difficult. I just need materials for the blade. I will give the monster over there the list of materials.」

Kurou left after saying that and Amelia chased after him.
