My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

Zeal boy, who is that?

I headed towards the building that functioned as the previous heros safe house, and I asked Zeal boy who was about to walk past me as my eyes followed the retreating figure clad in all black.

Coming to a halt, Zeal boy stood next to me.

I first met him, through my son when he lost his mother.

The young man who was around the same height as me had grown much taller than me, and his youthfulness gradually faded.

Initially, he was very cheeky, but that too had been corrected before I knew it.

For me who has lived for a long time, those months and years passed by in a blink of an eye, but looking at him like this, it was deeply moving.

Who, you say?

Seeing Zeal boy tilt his head in confusion, I pointed my chin towards that retreating figure of his.

The back and forth just now, displayed the tremendous determination he had.

It was not something you had after living only ten or twenty years.

Even though he was young, he was extremely mature.

Aah, he is. That, I am not too certain either. As far as I know, it seems that Commander Saran favored him, only him. And, in fact, he is the strongest out of all of us, including the hero Satou-kun.

Houu, I muttered this when I heard Zeal boys ambiguous words, and then I stroked my lips with my finger.

Certainly, that agility of his allowed him to continue avoiding my attacks, and his movements were better than any of the heroes who arrived before him.

Come to think of it, he might be the first person to evade my fist.

Moreover, without even emitting his bloodlust.

Besides, if that Saran Misray favored him out of all the other summoned heroes, then there might be something special about him.

Seeing that do that, Zeal boy, who was standing next to me, trembled.

That Saran Misray washuh.

If Saran Misray was partial towards him, that meant that it would be worth my while to pay attention to him.

The figure in black disappeared into the building.

The moment he turned around the corner, it seems that jet black eyes met mine.

After he left my field of vision, I turned towards Zeal boy.

by the way, Zeal boy, how much longer does that son of mine have?

I knew nothing about the lifespan, of my own son until that youngster mentioned it.

Thats right.

If it were my son, if his companions were about to be killed by me, he would jump into battle with no regards to ones appearances.

Even if they were a human whose abilities he trusted, if there was a chance that he might be injured, he would protect him while risking his life.

That was who my son was.

However, he spoke up just now, but he didnt come between us.

No, its not that he didnt come, he couldnt.

Because he was aging, his body didnt follow his commands.

Really, for me to not be able to recognize the abnormality of my biological son, despite being perpetually young, Ive grown old.

this is just my estimation, but if he doesnt do anything and recuperates, then one year. If he continues to fight.

Zeal boy kept silent, as if he was going to cry.

is that so.

Aah, I wonder what kind of face I was making right now.

My daughter had died early, and my son who I thought was similarly perpetually young was aging and reaching the end of his lifespan.

Living so long, the humans who I was close with, most of them had departed, but even so, I had grown accustomed to it.

Will I be left behind again.

Perhaps my low murmur could be heard, as Zeal boy uncomfortably stirred.

Im sorry for everything.

N, not at all. however, I think it would be better if you talked properly so that you dont regret it.

Aah, thats right.

There were many things that I needed to talk about.

I had purposely changed the location to this place for that reason.

Aah. Thats right.

Its just, would that child listen to me.

Even though a long time ago, he followed after me while calling, Mama, mama, but now, he was like that.

If he was reaching the end of his lifespan, his rebellious phase should be over as well.
