My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

Jealousy, was it shameful to have such feelings.

Then, what if you hated your friend?

I knew that, it was not that difficult for jealousy to become hopelessness, and then transform into hatred.

It had, always been that way.

Our relationship, no matter when or where, never changed.

Even before we came to this world, I knew that I was no match for Shiori-chan.

TN: Hosoyamas first name, for those who forgot.

Even though Shiori-chan is cute and can do everything, Yuuki-chan cant.

Even though Yuuki-chan is Shiori-chans friend, why cant you do this?

Yuuki-chan has a boy-ish name, and speaks strangely.

TN: Yuuki can be both a girls name and a boys name.

The young childrens queries unexpectedly struck at my heart.

Long ago, Shiori-chan and I were always together, and we did everything together.

Since the first friend I made after transfering school from Kansai due to my parents work was Shirori-chan.

However, Shiori-chan was everyones idol, and I who was by her side was not, and I was always being compared to her.

Thats why, I went so far as to make sure that we were not together in junior high and senior high and I did not talk to her, and because of that, I was finally able to go back to being the lively me.

It took me quite a long time to realize that because were different people, even if we were together, its inevitable that the things we could and couldnt do were not the same.

After realizing that, I was able to talk with Shiori-chan just like I had before.

In the first place, it was a story that I didnt know how to end, and my dialect was a habit, rather, were you complaining, hey.

Even if I thought that, the rumors spread like wildfire and nobody listened to what I had to say.

Other than this person.

Ueno is funny, and when Im with you, I somehow become full of spirit.

The way she talks? If you can communicate, it doesnt really matter? If you didnt understand anything that was said, then that would be troublesome though.

Everyone was going crazy over Tsukasa-kun and saying that he was cool, but the one who said the words that I needed to hear was not him.

Waki-kun! Did you consult with Shiori-chan about something?

Even in this kind of situation, I didnt want the person that I liked to be taken, and so I called out to Waki-kun who had been talking with Shiori-chan.

Waki-kun had been in low spirits ever since he saw Shiori-chans fight yesterday.

Shiori-chan again.

Ou! I asked Hosoyama if there were any tricks to acquiring skills. Does Ueno know?

I felt the smile on my face stiffen.

Theres no way I knew.

An exorcist was a restrictive occupation and not knowing how to strengthen myself, I had always been worried, and it had been that way up until now.

Most likely, other than Oda-kun who pretended that he wasnt there, I was the only one who wasnt assigned someone from the chivalric order or someone who specialized in the occupation.

Oda-kun also had Commander Saran looking after him, so he most likely snuck into the library.

I didnt know anything.

Since I shut myself in my room when everyone was training.

I couldnt do anything about being prohibited from entering the library to look for a book about dispelling curses.

Commander Saran, who gave me advice, was also busy with Oda-kuns training, and even if that werent the case, he was the commander, so he probably had various things to do.

I was thankful that he even went out of his way to meet me.

Come to think of it, did I thank Commander Saran.

It was probably because of the princesss curse, but my memory from when we returned from the dungeon to when we left the castle was fuzzy.

No, I dont know. When I came to the castle, I did it halfheartedly? Thats why, I played hooky.

That was a lie.

However, I couldnt give another explanation in the spur of the moment.

Commander Saran told me that he would call for someone who specialized in dispelling curses, but even that couldnt be done immediately as he was busy, and that promise had not been fulfilled because he died.

Until Commander Saran called for them, I didnt do anything and shut myself in my room.

Was this something I could tell the person that I liked.

Theres no way that I could.

Or, would Waki-kun blame me for skipping while he was doing his best.

I was trembling with dread, but the words he spoke were encouraging.

That means that you dispelled the curse put on Satou even though you werent really taught anything!? Thats amazing!

I unconsciously smiled when Waki-kun said that so excitedly.

This person was the same as ever.

As usual, he spoke the words that I wanted to hear.

Thats why, I will do my best.

Monsters are approaching!! Please get ready!!

Zeal-san raised his voice, and everyone quickly picked up their weapons.

I unconsciously gave a wry smile when I saw that.

Despite it being lunch time, everyone kept their weapons by their sides.

That had become second nature.

Even if we were able to return to Japan, would we be able to truly return to how we were before.

Ueno, were going back to where Tsuda is!

Un!!
