My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

s different so It couldn’t be helped, but the intonation of the name was somewhat different from Japanese.

However, this guy pronounced it perfectly as if it were Japanese.

And above all else, the name Mahiro.

It was a Japanese-y name.

「Aah, maa, am I? I’m a bit different from you guys, but I am a Japanese person.
My name is Abe Mashiro.
I’m reluctant, but please take care of me—.」

What did he mean by “a bit different”?

And why was he a demon.

「Oops, there’s no time for this.
We will be taking that princess with us.」

When he said those words, I stood in front of Amelia as if to protect her.

Yoru got ready to fight as well.

Sorry, but I’ll take care of the collapsed Ria later.

Since their target was Amelia.

「Well, I didn’t think we would even require the third-rank just to secure a single princess.
And now, it’s gotten to a point where the task requires my involvement.」

You never know what will happen in life, Mahiro muttered to no one in particular, and clapped his hands.

Pann

The sound reverberated clearly.

And from in between his hands, some kind of characters came flying out.

A large number of characters formed a circle, becoming a magic circle.

The characters were something I have never seen before and didn’t look like characters.
The various symbols fell into place in no time at all.

The characters were shining brightly, and were extremely beautiful.

In merely a few seconds, the tremendously small magic circles were completed, and Mahiro immediately activated them.

「『Living Doll』」

He poured magic power in the magic circles that were shining bright red and then they flew towards us.

「Dodge them! Amelia!!!」

「Kyaa!!」

I prepared myself, thinking that they were aiming for me, but the magic circles headed towards Amelia.

It was too late when I realized it and yelled out.

Amelia, who came into contact with the magic circles, was blown away and crashed into the wall.

And then, she did not move.

「Sh*t! Amelia!!!」

I ran over to Amelia and pulled her into my arms.

She was bleeding from her head.
She was not dead, just unconscious.

However, if she was human, she would’ve been instantly killed.

She had also hit the back of her head, so it would be better to get her looked at by a doctor.

「You bastard!!」

「Ah—, ah—, are you aware of the unpleasant look in your eyes? Even now, you look like you’re about to kill me.」

Hearing those mocking words, I knew that I was losing my cool.

『Master-dono, don’t let him provoke you.』

Yoru who had recovered Ria before I knew it, pacified me.

I clenched my fist.

I wanted to punch him, but I understood that I couldn’t win against this guy.

We needed to escape somehow.

To begin with, Aulum also planned to immediately escape after recovering Amelia.

Though I didn’t let them do so.

「Can we count that Black Cat over there as being on your side now? If not, I’ll be angry.」

Yoru returned to his usual black cat form.

That pair of golden eyes glared at Mahiro.

『I will not return to demon king-sama’s side anymore.
Because I am no longer Black Cat, but Yoru.』

「I see.
Then, you can not be angry if I add your fur to my wardrobe.」

Yoru bared his teeth, at the grinning Mahiro.

『Try it.』
