My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

Weve arrived at this place, and it took us three days to heal the injuries weve received on the journey, and completely recover our physical strength.

It was annoying to say this, but the level of caution needed when in this forest was comparable to when we were at the lowest levels of the Continent Dungeon.

Since it was the truth when it was said that the monsters get stronger the closer we were to the demon territory.

The six people sat down on the chairs, just like when we were at Kurous house, without any change.

Noa, who shouldve been the owner of the house, stood behind Kurou, and after Amaryllis and Ria who met the hero and the others for the first time introduced themselves, they stood behind us.

Although, Amaryllis hid almost half of her body behind Ria.

Even though Noa called Kurou her foolish son, it could occasionally be seen from her behavior that she cared about him.

Somehow, shes someone that I dont really understand.

So, is there a route to get to the demon territory now?

I placed an elbow onto the desk, and asked Kurou and Noa who were standing behind him.

I didnt think that the route used by the former hero to pass through the demon territory could be used now that several decades had passed.

Sure enough, the complexion of Kurou and Noa, who headed out yesterday and today, these two days, to confirm the route taken, was not good.

As I had confirmed yesterday and today, the secret passageway that I knew of heading to the demon territory was still there, but due to cave-ins and floods, it had collapsed.

At Kurous words, the hero and the others faces darkened.

Furthermore, Kurous bad news continued.

Of course, due to the monsters living within the sea, even the ship can not be used. Moreover, its clear to me that blockage of the secret path was not only due to the natural disasters.

so, what is going on.

Tsuda, who was anxious to find out the answer, frowned, not even reacting to the cat and monkey that was playing on top of his head.

In other words, demons have the ability to create artificial tempestuous disasters that could seeingly be mistaken for natural calamities, and the ones who are considered fairly strong even among demons purposefully did it.

Which meant that our movements had been seen through by those guys from the demon territory.

Kurou said this as he faithfully pointed out the passageways indicated on the map one at a time.

It seems that they had all been thoroughly collapsed, one after another.

Absentmindedly observing the situation, the faces of Mahiro and Aulum who I met in the Brute Dungeon flashed in my mind.

From here, the passageways leading to the elven territory and the human territory hadnt been blockaded and only the paths leading to the demon territory had been splendidly closed off, huh.

Thats right, surprisingly, the former hero had constructed underground passageways under this base that led to the other domains, other than the beastmens and the demons.

Its different if it was for the demon territory that was the closest, but for him to go so far as to prepare the passages leading to the other places.

Former hero, youre quite cautious.

In spite of the fact that at that time, the relationship between the humans and the elves had yet to turn for the worse.

Kurou, who had witnessed the former heros actions with those eyes of his, acknowledged his superiority, but I wonder if that was truly the case.

Can the collapsed passageways be used?

The hero raised his hand and proposed this.

At those words, the Kurou parent and child shook their heads.

Its no use. No matter which one, all of them are in a perilous state in which if the rubble was removed, it would cause a complete cave-in.

Honestly, we dont know when they will collapse, Noa summarized.

Despite the fact that we had no less than ten people present, the room had been enveloped in complete silence.

Both underground and the sea are impossible, huh.

Dejected, the hero muttered this.

Its not like I didnt understand how he felt, but I just stared at Noa.

In the corner of my eye, I saw Amelia doing so as well.

if you have something to say, then say it.

Having been stared at by two pairs of eyes, Noa ran out of patience, and said this as she sighed.

Amelia and I looked at each other, and I started to speak.

what about the sky?

Hearing my words, the heros eyes brightened, and he clapped his hands.

I see! If via the land is impossible, then itll be the sky, huh!

The faces of the summoned people who were familiar with airplanes quickly brightened up, but that was not the case for the true inhabitants of this world.

Seeing them tilt their head in confusion, the hero explained the theory of people riding in it and it flying in the sky.

Unfortunately, even I did not know what the hero was talking about.

Was it the negative influences of the modern-day person who was accustomed to flying in an airplane.

If it were talk about things like air resistance, runway distance, and takeoff speed, then I was truly in doubt as to whether or not he was speaking in Japanese.

In comparison to the negative influences of the modern-day person, perhaps I was, by nature, part of the liberal arts.

Nonetheless, Kurou and I both gazed into the distance, our eyes unfocused, and conversely, Noa was joyfully raising questions.

Although theyre parent and child, they had this many differences, huh.

I see. According to this theory, aerial flight is possible.

In the end, she raised questions even the hero could not answer, and nodding in satisfaction at the hero who summarized everything, she said this.

Those who did not understand the conversation between the hero and Noa all turned their gazes away.

That was the same for me, but Kyousuke closed his eyes and was in complete rejection.

I only have superficial knowledge of it, and do not understand the technicalities!

As if abandoning his duty, the hero turned away in a huff.

Well, I thought of a way to travel by sky. Isnt that right, Amelia Rose Quartz, Akira Oda.

As if struck by a whip, Amelia and I straightened our backs.

Amelia and I looked at the same section on Noas status and slowly nodded.

If its this, we might be able to travel through the sky, somehow.
