My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's

No one in this world is more ignorant than us.

We were forbidden to read books, and we knew nothing about this world.

In the first place, I didn't know why it was forbidden.

Money, politics, geography, history, tradition, culture, religion.

None of that was the knowledge we needed to live in peace, and none of that we had.

They wouldn't let me have it.

Neither did we.

What would the crystal do?

I hate Jing, but I acknowledge his talent and hard work.

Still, I...

"... yes,... hey, Sato!

The consciousness that was sinking into the sea of thought came to mind in an instant.

In front of me, Asahina, with her pure white knife lowered, is shaking my shoulder.

"Are you all right?

"No, bad.

"Stay with me. If you go bad, we're all gonna die?

I laughed and rose from the big rock I was sitting on.

We are currently going through the Reitis kingdom and are aiming for Yamato, the peace-loving country in the land of the people.

Now I was taking a break in the woods along the way.

From what I hear from the merchants I met on the road, I would say that Yamato is similar to Japan... or that it is the second Japan because it seems that several generations of brave men summoned by Japan have founded a country.

There is no such thing as science and technology in boulders, the era setting is in the Edo period, and of course there are Japanese staple foods, rice.

It's not because I want to go because it looks like Japan, but because I was tired of bread, I miss rice, so I aim... etc.

"With that said, why are you following me?

Ask what you've always wanted to hear, Asahina looked difficult and shut up.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, do you? Because it's just an interest.

"You might get mad, okay?

He's a man who cares about the details for a big figure.

True opposite of a crystal that doesn't give a damn about the details.

"It's to join the crystals. Because you and Jing are somewhere alike, I thought I would see Jing sooner or later if I followed you.

Ask Asahina-san about the scary complexion of this one, this one now asks the scary question.

"Similar, where exactly?

"... I don't care what the neighborhood says... the atmosphere, huh?

Asahina-san tilting his neck.

No, you said it.

I felt goosebumps.

Are you telling me that the hostility I've been feeling towards Crystal was a homophobic hatred?

... No, no way.

"No way, do I hate you for crystals?

"Guuuuu!!

An arrow of words pierced my chest deeply.

Even though I ended up denying it in myself, Asahina punches me in with a decision.

"You don't hate my classmates because I hate them, do you?

"So there's another reason?

Innocent, just curious to ask questions, Asahina felt horrible for the first time.

"I don't know. Okay, break's over! We have to hurry!

"Hmm? Oh, right.

I tease and speak to my classmates who are moisturizing and falling asleep nearby.

I answered all over each and got up.

"Su-kun, where was Yamato?

Mr. Hoshiyama stands next to me and asks.

There was also Ueno after that.

The two girls don't have to fight, they're rather close.

They were two people in the class who had hardly ever seen them talking, but they had something to care about.

"Oh, Yamato is the easternmost end of the people's territory. It is on the Elf Territory side. The Reitis kingdom was far from any other race, so it's not that far away. Did I just say one or two more days?

That's what Ueno says with his mouth pointed when he answers thinking of the map that the merchant showed him in his brain.

"It would be easier if it were a car, a plane, or at least a motorcycle. I never thought walking would be so tight.

"We'll all be impressed with science and technology when we get back to Japan.

If there is indeed such a thing, the distance travelled will be increased and how much the travel time will be reduced.

"... go home. This world is reasonably enjoyable, but I figured the place we live in is Japan. Japan is the only place I can calm down.

One of the boys squeaks.

I looked up into the sky and groaned in my heart.

I want to go home.

I want to go home to Japan.

To that end, defeat the Demon King and make this world peaceful.

Beyond being a brave man, the Demon King must be defeated.

I'm not a crystal, I'm a brave man.

And then you go home to the castle, reunite with the rest of the classmates that Mr. Ziehl asked you to go home.

The Kings must have the way home.

Jing walks the Way of the Crystal, I walk my way.

But I'm the one who wins eventually.
