My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's

Episode 49 - Strength

As he was held to his desk, the king stretched out.

Really, what was the pressing atmosphere until just now...

"Well,... I thought I'd explain, but with that said, it wasn't a battle yet, was it?

"What, are you going to do it here? No, and there's no explanation for what's going on.

The king stretches his spine again to create a crisp atmosphere.

I'm not deceiving you at all.

but only the speed of switching was amazing in vain.

"I'll explain it to you. But after I've cleared up about Amelia.... Sometimes you care. I'll leave Amelia to you if you win. But if this one wins, I'll have Amelia left.

Amelia shook her body frighteningly at her father who said so in a cold voice.

I narrow my eyes.

"So, who are they?

"Of course it's Kirika. As Amelia may have already said, Kirica is an Adventurer Guild Rank Gold. He's only a few of the highest ranked adventurers in this world.

There wouldn't be a shortage for them, would there?

I laughed at the king smiling so hard.

Superior.

"The battle is in five minutes. I'll be waiting in the square earlier. If you can't notice me, use me as a messenger because I'm leaving Amelia.

After all, isn't this king a good fit for a villain?

Just to say, I saw the king's hindsight as he left with Kirika, and I thought so.

What I did five minutes later was to keep me from getting ready.

And we left first to prepare ourselves.

We designated the square earlier because it is a place we know very well.

I can tell from what I said shortly after I lifted my guard that the fight was also timed to say.

Indeed, my skills as a king combine.

but I think I may have misjudged the other person's power.

"It's okay, Akira can win.

"Oh, hey, Amelia.

I could tell Amelia I was cheering her up.

"What?"

"I think you might like Amelia a a lot. No, I like it.

Amelia leans her neck quietly, confused?

You don't seem to fully understand it because your face, ears, and neck are bright red.

It's convenient.

Amelia likes me?

"Ha... Akira, what's the sudden matter?

Staring at her eyes, Amelia stuffy with her hands around her heart.

Are you all right?

"No, if I don't say it now, maybe I'll be busy.

That being said, what am I talking about? I'm in a state.

I just don't think it's my fault that I feel like I don't have the next opportunity if I don't tell you right now.

Waiting still, Amelia finally looked up.

"Wow, me too... Shh, I like it!

"Oh well. Thanks, I was fine.

It's not like I can light it up, I said so.

I knew Amelia liked me.

I'm not the heroine of some maiden game, and I'm not the dull protagonist.

All right, all right. Touching her head, Amelia blushes even more.

Cute yam.

Just in the mood, I put my weapon on the long table.

"A few dark vessels and ropes picked up in the labyrinth,“ Night Knife God, "little demon stones for throwing? And how do you win with shadow magic and sign cover-up?... Well, you're gonna be.

Stored it back in place again and I still looked at Amelia with a red face.

"Amelia, you don't have to kill me instantly, do you?

I know exactly who you don't have to say.

"Yeah, thanks.

"What?

"You fought for me.

That's what I said, Amelia chuckled fluffily.

The very rare smile that comes out occasionally dazzles me because I'm always true.

This is the time to say, "Don't fight for me!!" The line comes to mind.

A very similar word, but the meaning was completely different.

Amelia is cuter and has a better personality than the heroines rolling around there.

Alongside guys like me with low facial deviations, Amelia would look even more radiant.

"You're welcome."

Hard work took our gaze off the sparkling Amelia, and we headed to the square.

"Shall I praise you for not running away?

"No, you can win anyway and get Amelia to praise you.

There was no earlier in the square, a square platform about fifty meters on one side, around which a large number of elves were pressing.

The platform must have been produced by a dirt magician.

Completely spectacular.

Well, there's no such thing as a king-sponsored duel.

Encourage Amelia to stand beside the king, and I'll climb a solo platform.

"You finally realized you were in love with your sister?

"No, I think I've noticed that for a long time. I confessed earlier, and you have no remorse.

"... it is. You really love your sister. I wish your father would adore your sister without being mean.

Kirika said so and laughed corny, pulling out the skinny sword that was lowering to her waist.

Thin as a rapier, but painfully stuck in the shape of a sword.

I pulled out the Night Knife God, too.

Return the blade back.

Kirika narrowed her eyes when she saw it.

"You don't think I'm going to kill you? That's sweet. I'm going to kill you, aren't I?

"That's fine. I'm not going to kill you. Amelia will grieve if you die.

"Will you not let me out in a formal duel?

"That's bad. but no matter what they say, I won't point a blade at you.

With the blade back, I set it up.

Kirika bracketed her height that it would just be a glory, and set her sword at chest height.

I can release the poke in the shortest possible time, but not necessarily when the poke comes.

We only saw each other.

"Then my daughter, Amelia, in the name of the king, I hereby acknowledge the duel of Kirika Rose Quartz, Akira Oda. The duel will continue until either one of them is incapable of combat or falls off the platform, declaring surrender. Let's not admit the use of magic this time. Only use skills and own moves are allowed. If you are judged to have used magic, you will be disqualified at that point.

So the king looked around.

I see. Is the referee the elves around him or what?

Everyone looks at Kirika with a tranced look, either because she's still on Kirika's charm.

That's totally awesome.

But that's fine.

"Akira, good luck!

I tell you not to lose the hustle and bustle around you while turning your face bright red, even this voice is enough.

I nodded at you and closed my eyes.

"OK, here we go!!!

At the same time as the king's words I opened my eyes and kicked the ground.

"... Phew, is this it?

I breathed out the breath I'd been holding unknowingly and took the falling Kirika with one arm.
