My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

"Actually, I owe it to your landmark, Asahina."

Sato smiled and explained how we got here.

Everyone sees that you were marking a tree in Asahina.

But we didn't even mark it because we're going in one direction.

That means we can assume that all the unnatural slashing marks on the tree are after your squad went through Asahina.

If we follow the marks on the real tree, not for what we put on the tree demons, we can reach nature and you Asahina.

And what Ueno found after the treatment was exactly the mark you put on Asahina.

Sato, after thanking you and Asahina for that, turned to us with a serious face.

"And I put everyone in danger's eyes because of some kind of curse I got. I'm so sorry."

I was impressed by Sato, who bowed his head deeply, that I was a serious man.

If I'd kept my mouth shut, everyone wouldn't have found out about it.

I've already broken the curse from what I said, and it's past.

Neither did I. Perhaps Ueno wasn't going to tell everyone.

"Well, was Sato cursed already when we grouped him?"

He thought they were all organized with people who weren't very involved, so they had a training connotation.

Exactly. I don't think even a stoic like you, Sato, would train you in a place where you would die just because you lost your mind for such a moment.

Again, Asahina, you are missing somewhere.

"That's the thing. Without Tsuda's drive and Ueno's efforts, our squad would have been wiped out if Ziehl and Nanase hadn't informed us about the Lord of the Forest."

If you're sorry, Satou will bow your head even further.

We looked at each other.

Mr. Hoshiyama opens his mouth at the delegate by making eye contact.

"Heads up, Sato-kun. Our leader is Sato, and I'm sure he has a lot of decisions to make, but I'm not going to let Sato carry the burden alone."

It's just a theory of results, but nobody died this time.

If you don't die, you'll be fine.

If we don't die, we won't give up going home.

"The only thing wrong with you this time, Sato, is that you were cursed once before and you didn't do anything about it, and you carry everything all by yourself. You're still in the realm of the Beasts just because you're close to the Demon Nation, so if you're stuck here, you can't even reach the Demon King's Castle, and going home is another dream of your dreams. We need to grow up too."

Hey, guys, everyone snorts at Hoshiyama's words.

After seeing how it was, Sato chewed his lips a lot and lowered his head again. When he raised his face, he looked very crisp, as if some possession had fallen.

Sure it is. If you were stuck in a demon like this, it would mean that you would have no hands or feet for a demon in the demonic realm.

I know it's been better than before since I decided on my mind this time, but it's still not enough.

We need to work out more.

Stronger enough to catch up with you, Asahina.

"Now let's see what happens in the future when your stomach and mind have settled down"

Put your face up to Mr. Ziehl's words.

Sato spread something like a map in the center of the circle so that everyone could see it better.

It wasn't like a fine place name we used in class, it was a distorted, handwritten painting somewhere.

No, we're just used to seeing fine things, and this is what the old map of Japan should have looked like.

"This is a hand-drawn map I saw and remembered at Castle Raitis. I didn't have any painting talent, so please give me a break."

That's right, Mr. Ziehl pointed to the north side of the island, which is the leftmost of the four islands.

"Perhaps this area is the current position. Here's the one that enlarged this part only."

Place the other piece of paper that was down there on top.

It was the only enlargement of this forest.

"It would be thirteen days, if at this rate, to pass through this forest and reach the confluence. But this is if you walk without a break, and you spend time on breaks, fights, etc., and it actually takes about thirty days."

It will take about a month.

I guess people with flying legs could have traveled even less days than this.

Cars, trains, planes, etc. are not yet popular in this world.

Really, I realized that we were born in a privileged time.

"If we haven't reached anything by the time the crystals get here, what will they say..."

Sato crushes with his face. [M]

He whispered, but everyone heard him, and we laughed bitterly.

I got to know Sato in high school, so I don't know the big deal, but I noticed that Sato hated you unilaterally about Oda.

'Cause every time I did something, I was looking at you, Hirata, and every time I was distorting my face with regret.

The emotion of jealousy won't apply to the difference in their grades, and people's expectations go without saying.

But somehow, Sato, you always saw Oda as your only enemy.

On the other hand, Oda, I wasn't sure about you.

Sato didn't even seem to notice what you were looking at, and since Oda was someone who was secluded to the corner of the class in the first place, there were times when we were less involved than Sato, who was a class wrapper.

Oda was in the air somewhere, looking at things differently than we were, not looking at what was in front of us.

I don't know, Oda. It was you, but I've only figured out one thing after coming to this world and experiencing Setouchi to life and death.

Oda always lived. [M]

I don't know why you have a bad home environment or are you in debt, and you won't know because it's not an easy area to step into, but Oda was always alive.

I don't think he spent his days inert, like we don't know today or tomorrow, just desperate to live.

That hasn't changed since I came to this world, and I'm obsessed with living, returning.

I think maybe that's what you don't like about Sato.

Because Oda will never see us.

I look forward on my own, and I go all the way back on my own.

I don't mind, Sato, but I don't think you like it.

I feel like I'm applauding what you're doing with Amelia and Mr. Night, that frustration.

Even though we were better together, we were one of those who wanted to do the same.

Well, I guess Sato is enjoying himself a lot, because we were crazy about the curse when Oda left.

We both have a difficult personality.

I feel sorry for you, Asahina, caught between them.
