The Best Assassin, Incarnated into a Different World’s Aristocrat

Look through the wind at what's happening on the ground.

The rail gun undoubtedly smashed the red heart of the up-and-coming demon clan.

That's why I'm not alarmed.

Explore your surroundings thoroughly using soil exploration magic in addition to wind exploration magic.

"... you don't seem to have a problem"

Without a doubt, you can say you could have defeated that demon clan.

Exhale, unconcentrate.

Just in case, like after we defeated the Lion Demons, we also have to make sure that the demon statues in the sanctuary have been smashed.

In case you miss the Demons pulling one city into the ground in an instant.

And I have one problem.

"This increase in power,... looks like you're done"

I feel a tremendous amount of power coming from beneath the surface of the water cemented with ice.

He had emerald-colored luminescence.

As soon as the guy was finished just before the rail gun fired, the surrounding soul, which was being sucked little by little, was taken root.

So much so that I even felt dangerous myself. If I hadn't protected it with magic, they would have taken my soul.

... There is only one identity for him.

A key item in the Resurrection of the Demon King, [the fruit of life], where the Demons create more than 10,000 human souls in materials.

That uppermost demon tribe was destroyed by the armored Mediterranean dragon and tried to escape by renouncing the completion of this one.

Ironically, however, [the fruit of life] was completed because Tart and Dia stopped.

"Really, I'm glad you have an information network. Without that, I couldn't even fight."

If it weren't for the information network and the improved hang glider, the [fruit of life] would have been completed and the Mediterranean dragon would have disappeared before we could have come.

No matter how strong you get, it doesn't make sense without eyes and ears that quickly find enemies and feet that are fast enough to make it.

... Depending on the circumstances, it was even conceived that the Demon King would be resurrected without ever catching up with this demon clan.

"What to do with [the fruit of life]"

Use magic while saying so.

First, crush the ice, then take the [fruit of life] out of the water with the magic of the wind and let it rise into the universe.

It's a jade gem, pulsating like a creature at the mercy of its mineral appearance. Beauty and creepiness live together.

But I have the impression that I felt before that.

"Sounds good."

From the mouth, yodale overflows.

No matter how hungry I was when I saw any treat, I had never been so inspired by my appetite.

All the cells in my body are screaming that I want to eat that one.

Stop that impulse by summing up reason.

... It's pretty dangerous to just touch it instead of eating it.

But even me, the assassin who wears the art of dominating emotions and acting by reason, has something in it that makes me crazy.

I shake off my reason, my hand stretches out.

I pulled out the knife and stabbed him in the thigh.

Blood blew out, severe pain ran, just a little distracted.

But it won't last long.

Use earthly magic for the [fruit of life] that is rising in the air.

I wrap my surroundings in aluminum alloy.

Aluminum mixed with wonder and silver has the effect of blocking magic, so when carrying magic props, use this.

When I surrounded it thick, my appetite subsided a lot easier.

Store in [Crane Skin Bag] in that condition.

That's it, the temptation of [fruit of life] finally disappeared.

"Danger. Danger. If you make a mistake, [fruit of life] is in your stomach by now."

I would probably have burst or become a monster if I had eaten 10,000 units of human soul substitutes necessary for the resurrection of the Demon King.

... but there are doubts.

Actually, human instinct is pretty good.

Acting according to instincts is often roughly right if we disregard ethics.

I usually eat what I want. Because what your body wants is what you instinctively feel you want to eat.

If my instincts wanted it, eating [fruit of life] could have been a plus.

I just can't imitate betting on that possibility.

Anyway, if you lose a bet, you die or you're a monster.

I'm not kidding. It's too risky.

It is also difficult to experiment with human beings using others.

The moment you give [the fruit of life], you may become an unsatisfactory monster.

In the first place, there's a lot of use for this. Examination will give you a deeper insight into the demon clan and demon king ecology. It can also be used for negotiating materials with Snake Demon Meena.

Or they break it.

In any case, no immediate action should be taken, and the right thing to do at the moment is to bring it back… i.e. only on hold.

"Shall we go up first?"

The wind told me that Tart and Dia were running towards the hole.

Delight in victory with them is the top priority.

For now, I was able to seal the [fruit of life] in the [bag of crane leather].

◇

Up on the ground, Tart and Dia jumped into his chest.

Anyway, Dia didn't hesitate to have a tart that could light things like this would be a side effect of [beastification].

I'm relieved they both seem intact.

"Good luck. Dear Lug."

This time, the operation went really well.

"Oh, you've all played a role exactly. Win as a team."

If anyone failed, it worked perfectly in the situation of the end.

We're definitely the best team.

By embracing each other, we rejoice in each other's safety.

Then Dia narrowed her eyes.

"... Something's a little weird. There's some strange magic involved in Lug."

"Well, apparently [the fruit of life] is complete. When I retrieved it, I was hit by a lot of things."

I didn't eat.

But he was only nearby and was hit by the fluctuations emitted by [the fruit of life].

Even though no force has leaked since I put it in the [Crane Leather Bag], I am anxious to see what happens to the contents of the [Crane Leather Bag].

Even though I knew the risk, I couldn't leave [fruit of life] behind, or carry it by hand.

"Is that okay?

"To this extent, let it go and scatter.... Nevertheless, we shouldn't have anything happening to the two of us. You better get away from me for a while. Tart, put Dia on your hang glider and go home first."

That's what I say, but you two won't leave.

"If there might be something in Lug, you need someone nearby to do something about it, right? I'm not leaving."

"I'm with you. And if Master Rugg says he's okay, he's okay."

"... thanks"

One-Lotus Trustee. I can't say it makes sense, but I think it would be nice to be these two.

"Tart, Dia, get away from me"

Cover those two behind your back.

There has always been a reaction to the exploratory magic we have prepared. Turn your body in the direction you had a reaction and reach for the gun on your chest.

"I've always decided the audience, and now you're here... Neusch"

There was a man there who was my friend and at the hands of the Serpent Demon Meena, who had gained strength until he quit the human race.

It's even stronger than when we met before.

That is nothing short of being more irrevocable.

"I wanted to fight too, but it was Master Meena's order."

"Dear Meena"?

Previously, Neusch dealt with Meena only as a reciprocal relationship.

That's the way it is.

Dominated to the heart.... but for once there remains a sense of wanting to fight for humanity. That's why I can tell you how much I wanted to fight the Demons.

"Right. Let's get down to business. I came out now. You need to talk to us, don't you?

"I want you to follow me. Master Meena is waiting."

From the ground that Neusch pointed to when he said so, a serpent appears.

Neusch rides over its head and invites it. Not only Noish, but the three of us can ride on top of our heads. Size of a joke.

"What if I told you I didn't want to?

"I'm gonna have to fight you."

Neusch pulled out the Devil's Sword.

... Even though Neusch has become stronger than before, he can win.

But it is so fortified that it is impossible to win by hand, and if you fight, you will kill Neusch.

I think of him as a friend, I want to avoid that.

Besides, I was just hoping to talk to Meena.

"Okay, let's go. I've never traveled with a snake before.... Tart, Dia, don't leave me."

"You don't have to tell me to leave. I don't like snakes."

"... you're a little scared"

Two people grab my hem and the three of us ride over the head of a snake.

I thought it would slip on with the head of a snake, but unexpectedly there was a solid scaffold, with many easy to grasp horns, and I grabbed it.

When they all ride, Neusch says something.

That was not a person's language.

The serpent reacts and sets off at an incomparable speed, such as a carriage.

... Perhaps the destination is Meena's base as a demon tribe.

There's no way I'm letting a serpent like this ride into a city where I live wearing people's skins.

"Meena knew for sure the movements of the Mediterranean dragon, the nasty devil tribe"

And yet you dared not give me any information.

The reason for this, I must be sure to let you hear it.

In some circumstances, the cooperative relationship with Meena would be broken.

... and if that happens, it's going to be hard to get out of her nest alive. In the meantime, let's get ready for that.

Assume the worst. Because that's what assassins are for.
