Chapter 62

「What are you guys talking about, explain it in a way that I can understand as well . 」

I ambiguously explained the Eye of the World to Linga-san who was pouting .

Even if he was the guildmaster, it wouldn’t be good to disclose everything .

Maa, when I find out if I can really trust him or not, I’ll tell him everything .

Though I’m not really hiding it either .

「Maa, it’s fine . I understand two things . Oda Akira, are you a hero that was summoned from another world through the hero summoning?」

It seems that there was a rumor spreading around about a certain human country that had succeeded in summoning heroes .

Was it ok for me to say it, Yoru and I looked at each other .

「…I see . Then, here is my next question . 」

Linga-san saw Yoru’s and my reaction, and making his own guesses, he moved onto the next question .

I needed to keep a poker face, but still, I’m not good with these types of tactics .

「That familiar named Yoru, weren’t you the right-hand man of the demon king?」

I had vaguely guessed that Yoru had a close relationship with the demon king, but he was his right-hand man?

If that were the case, why did the demon king do something like sending his own right-hand man over to me .

『It’s as you said, but now, I am Master-dono’s subordinate . I’m not going to destroy this country like when I was young and mischievous, so don’t worry . 』

Oi, you just brazenly said something explosive, didn’t you?

I want an explanation .

「When the familiar over had been a monster, he had, as the demon king’s right-hand man, tried to destroy this country…no, this continent . Thanks to the struggles of the hero-sama at the time, it ended with just the towns and a part of the castle that the beastman king was living in having been destroyed, but ever since then, we’ve been afraid of black cats . We are not worthy of the reputation of being proud beastmen:」

When I glanced at Yoru, it feigned ignorance and was whistling unskillfully .

This guy, it’s not reflecting .

That means that, the people in town will run away when they see me on the street .

The hoodlums from just now were drunk and didn’t notice, but people running away when they see me, would be subconscious .

『Its because that was demon king-sama’s command . Also, we were in the middle of a war at that time . I don’t think that I was wrong, and I’m not going to apologize either . 』

「I know . I just wanted to confirm it . 」

Amelia was overcome with surprise with the fact that the outwardly pure and innocent-looking Yoru was actually a god of destruction .

No, we must not be deceived by its appearance .

This guy was, someone who released a dragon breath on us as soon as it saw us .

That’s exactly what happened .

Wasn’t it a god of destruction since the beginning .

『Ah, Master-dono, I could hear everything through the telepathic communication… . . 』

That’s how you see it, huh .

Yoru sulked .

「As expected, it’s likely that the familiar and its master is connected through the telepathic communication skill . What valuable specimens . 」

Incidentally, when I looked around, there was an item that looked like a camera on the ceiling .

Since it was not the camera-like item that was used with ill intentions that I saw when I first came to this world, it seems I had failed to notice it .

「For there to be a camera in your own room, what tight security . 」

Wasn’t the security too tight, considering he’s the guildmaster .

「There are times when treasures that are of utmost importance to beastmen are kept here . That’s why . 」

「…treasure, huh . Is it ok for you to tell us something like that?」

Did the thought of us actually being thieves, and coming here to steal the treasure not cross his mind .

「No . If you were thieves, you would not bring the familiar . Since a black cat familiar would obviously stand out . 」

For thieves who dislike standing out, we were certainly too flashy .

We had already stood out when Amelia appeared though .

That’s right, speaking of standing out, he was the opposite .

「That special skill of yours, ‘Noninterference’, does it perhaps have the effect of making other people completely unaware of you?」

「Aah, that’s right . I’ll say this now, but I am a civil officer though and through . To make things worse, I have a phobia of sharp objects . I can’t even directly look at a knife . That’s why, I rejected the splendid assassin occupation . 」

Forks were impossible for him, but chopsticks were fine, so he was having chopsticks sent over from Yamato .

I stared at the display of Linga-san’s status .

Certainly, “assassin” was written in the occupation column .

This guy was exactly the same as me .

In other words, this guy was someone with the same occupation .

It seems that he used the skill “Noninterference” to stealthily enter this room to do his work .

In accordance with that, the level was really unexpected .

If it were someone else with the same occupation, they would definitely say that it’s a waste of talent .

Actually, for a moment, I had thought that as well .

However, this way of living was fine as is .

「Now then, back to the main subject . Let’s get down to business . 」

When Linga-san said that, it felt like the atmosphere immediately became tense .
