Chapter 151

Anyways, we’re really sorry! It doesn’t really matter if you chop off Raul-kun’s head, so please find it in your heart to pardon the Adventurer Guild!」

「You bastard! You have the nerve to sell me out!!」

Perhaps the badmouthing adventurers woke up from their stupor due to my words, as they left the Adventurer Guild with pale faces, and we sat down in the open seats on Kelia’s recommendation, but it was interesting watching them arguing like a married couple .

Far from stopping them, the other guild staff members were smiling as they watched them .

Incidentally, in order to not frighten the beastmen, Yoru sat on top of shoulder like a statue, unmoving, but occasionally, he trembled, seemingly holding back his laughter .

「The Adventurer Guild, and you guys, I don’t blame any of you . It was me who was narrow-minded . I’m sorry . 」

Perhaps Amelia was also completely taken aback by the two people arguing in front of us, as she apologized for saying too much .

Kelia was flustered by that .

Meanwhile, the person himself turned his face away, his cheeks puffed out .

Was he a brat .

「No, no! Everything was because of Raul-kun! Hey, Raul-kun too, apologize . 」

How did such strength come from such a slender and fair arm that obviously had not been exposed to the sun .

Kelia pressed down on Raul’s head and made him bow his head .

This girl, was she really human?

This was the first time I’ve doubted the『Eye of the World』 .

「That hurts! What are you doing!」

「This was all because Raul-kun was insulting people! Besides, don’t start hitting people you’ve just met just because they hit the nail on the head! You had promised me that before, didn’t you! I’ll ban you from coming here!」

When will this end .

I somehow understood that the words “squabbling couple” fit them perfectly .

This surely embodied the fact that the more you fought, the closer you were .

「You two . Both Princess Amelia-sama and ‘Assassin of Darkness’-sama are shocked . 」

「Ah, I, I’m very sorry!」

A narrow-eyed human wearing indigo blue Japanese-style clothing raised his voice, and the two people finally stopped messing around .

I waved my hand, indicating to the bowing Kelia to not mind it, as I narrowed my eyes .

An assassin whose face and name was well-known, just what am I going to do .

Or rather, I’ve never done anything that was assassin-like though .

「Pleased to meet you . I am the Uruk Adventurer Guild’s vice-guildmaster, Mamoru . I’ve long heard of the two of you . 」

His name and clothes were awfully similar to those from Japan .

No, nowadays, there weren’t many people wearing eastern clothing .

The humans had a country named Yamato that was similar to Japan, so he probably came from from that place .

Mamoru’s gaze lowered, looking at Amelia’s and my fingers .

「No matter how many imposters there are, there are no other people who have such deep ‘rings’ . 」

Following Mamoru’s gaze, it was the ring finger on the left hand .

That wound that was considerably deep was different from other injuries, as it did not scab over, remaining as if the skin had just been punctured .

Amelia’s finger was the same .

「What is this, it’s known by you guys as well . 」

「Yes . However, not many people are like the two of you, as generally, they would put an iron ring on their fingers, but there are many adventurers who create marks on each other’s fingers, as they don’t know when they will meet their end . 」

At those words, Amelia tilted her head in confusion .

Seeing that she was not surprised, it seems that she knew about “rings” .

「However, Ria said that in the castle, there were many people who had marks like these . 」

「I’ve heard that there are many love affairs within the castle, so it’s most likely some kind of marking . It would not disappear completely unless strong recovery magic is applied . 」

I see, did it prevent cheating .

I didn’t know that .

「In any case, these two people are not imposters, Raul-kun . 」

It seems that the words just now were an explanation for Raul .

However, the person himself was absent minded .

「…you, are the genuine ‘Assassin of Darkness’?」

Not responding to Mamoru’s words, the darkened golden eyes immediately turned towards me .

I nodded, puzzled by the change in temperament as he was throwing childish temper tantrum just now .

「I don’t really like that name, but it’s me . 」

After I said that, Raul suddenly sat down on the ground and bowed his head .

Where did he learn that, it was a splendid dogeza .

TN: Dogeza is a traditional Japanese etiquette where one kneels on the ground with the head bowed, touching the ground . This is performed when displaying deference to someone of a higher status, expressing a deep apology, or asking a favor from the recipient of the bow

「Sorry!!!」

「…ha?」

Due to their suddenness, I unconsciously let out a foolish voice .

Bewildered by Raul who didn’t raise his head, Kelia gave an explanation from the side .

「Actually, Raul-kun, is a fan of ‘Assassin of Darkness’-sama . He was in Ul during the monster tide, and it seems that he saw ‘Assassin of Darkness’-sama from afar . 」

At that time, I found out that Amelia had been abducted and having been irritated, I let loose using shadow magic, but I wonder how he turned into a fan from that .

A black shadow swallowed the monsters .

It should’ve only gave him cause to fear .

At the very least, if it was the me from when I was in Japan, I wouldn’t be able to stand up due to the fear .

「After that, he would flare up at people who copied the ‘Assassin of Darkness’-sama… . Raul-kun is an idiot, so he was under the impression that his idol would not be in this kind of place . 」

What’s with that .

How did he get that idea?

My jaw dropped in speechlessness .

Certainly, it was strange for an assassin to be walking around in broad daylight, but if you flared up at every single person who had the same appearance, it would be never-ending .

Or rather, was he die-hard even among the fans .

「Ah–… . Why did you being my fan mean that you had to take it up with those who had the same appearance?」

When I asked Raul who had his head bowed, he answered in a muffled voice .

「I was irritated that they were copying you . I’m reflecting on it . 」

Are you someone who was arrested by the police .

TN: those who are arrested by the police would say that they were wrong and that they’re reflecting on their actions, that is, if they regret what they had done

His thought process was indeed foolish, or rather, reckless…I couldn’t understand it .

Anyways, I understood when I saw him arguing back and forth with Kelia that there was no point in remonstrating this type of person .

「…anyways, don’t do that anymore . And be smarter . 」

「Yes!」

Answering cheerfully, Raul raised his head .

His eyes were sparkling .

I had a bad feeling .
