Other World Assassin Life of a Man who was a Shut-in Chapter 74

I would like to return to Zinnia right now, but I still have some work to do over at the Dismantling Center. And so, after a few minutes, I started to head over there.

And so, after a few minutes,

“Alright, i’ve arrived. Umm….where is the usual Ossan?”

Oh, there he is.

I found him a little further in and started conversing with him.

“h.e.l.lo, Ossan. I would like to have some monsters disa.s.sembled, but is that fine?”

“Oh, if it isn’t Headhunter, Sure anything is fine.”

“Thank you very much. Then, this one here is the first.”

I took out the two c.o.c.katrice’s from my Item box,

“Firstly, please dismantle these two first, and the money earned for the materials, please send it to Guild Master Guren-san.”

“Oh, roger that. Then, is that all?”

More, huh? Well, should I just take out the other monster corpses as well?

No, i'll get the Cyclops dismantled first!

“I’m sorry. I would like to have a Cyclops dismantled, is that fine?”

When I said that, the Ossan stopped moving,

“Ah, ah, um, yeah, I forgot that you were the one who stopped the Great Invasion by yourself. So, of course, you would have defeated a Cyclops as well. Alright! I’ll do the dismantling! Give it to me.”

“Thank you very much! Here.”

I took out the corpse of the Cyclops from my Item Box. It’s extremely huge as usual.

“O,Oo! As expected, it’s extremely huge, you defeated this huge monster on your own…….ALRIGHT! I shall take the responsibility for this! Do you want me to sell all these materials as usual?

“Yes, please do. Then, that is all, i’ll take my leave now.”

The things I need to do for today are almost done. And so, I started to walk toward Zinnia.

After a few minutes, I was able to safely arrive there, and I opened the doors to enter inside.

When I heard,

“Ah, Yuma-san!”

Sari said that while running toward me. Her figure while running toward made her look like a cute puppy, it was extremely cute.

“I’m home, Sari.”

Sari had a shy expression, with her head down while I was stroking her head, she also had a face with an extremely content expression on it.

“Yes! Welcome back, Yuma-san. Also, I heard all about your success in the Stone Forest from Iguru-san. As expected of Yuma-san!”

Sari’s eyes were s.h.i.+ning exquisitely, while she recounted what happened.

“Haha, thank you. I feel it was worth the efforts when Sari says that to me. Then, I will be taking a nap until dinner time, I will come back when it’s ready.”

“Ok. Um, by the way, Yuma-san….”

Hmm? What could it be?

It is quite strange for Sari to bring up something.

“What is it, Sari? Have you missed something that I should know?”

“Yes. Today a customer had come today to the vacant room and requested for the one next to Yuma-san’s. Moreover, the customer is an extremely cute child, she is probably quite younger than me as well. Yuma-san, if she has any problems, would you please help her out?”

Aa, if there are actually some problems, then I would gladly help out. It is a man’s duty to help out children, but I seem to have an extremely bad feeling about this. And so, I asked a certain question to Sari,

“U-Um, Sari. That child, how is her style of speaking?”

“Come to think of it, she spoke in a very Old-fas.h.i.+oned style, it was like how my Grandmother used to speak.”

Oi Oi Oi Oi Oi!!!

That person has already reached this place!

“Th-Thank you, Sari. Then, I shall now return to my room.”

Saying that to Sari, I climbed the stairs leading to the next floor, and I knocked on the door right next to my room while saying,

“Excuse me. Is anyone there?”

As soon as I called out, a reply came back instantly.

“Hmm, that voice is Yuma, huh.You can enter, zo~”

Ah, this voice, it’s confirmed.

I felt scared to open the door to confirm the person inside, so.

“Hmm?”

Your kidding right? Judging by the voice, it’s definitely Minarisu-san, but the girl in front of me right now was a person with green hair and green eyes who was also very cute and didn’t have pointed ears. What is going on!?

“Hmm, it’s natural that you would be puzzled. Well~, if it’s you, you could probably see through it. Right, Yuma? Since you have the ability to take down a Cyclops, you should be able to see through this, try to see through the illusion yourself!”

What is she talking about? Well, I'll try it, for now, so I carefully looked at the young girl in front of me and tried again,

“........Minarisu-san?”

Su-Suddenly, the girl in front of me changed her appearance from now into that of Minarisu-san who I saw in the guild previously.

“This is……..An illusion….?”

“Hmmm, that’s correct, good job on finding out.”

Hmm, apparently Minarisu-san can change her appearance with Illusions, but,

“Minarisu-san, why are you in a place like this?”

“Well~, you might not know this, but I am actually a celebrity, no~. If I had kept my previous appearance then, no matter what I would have done, it would have turned heads.”

Ah, the guild was certainly noisy last time.

“Because of you, I have decided to stay in this town for awhile. Thanks to your image, I can stay low and not be noticed too much. Therefore, I used illusion magic to live peacefully for now. Well, I still cannot change my voice, and also, this magic doesn’t work on people with a certain capacity of ability. Well~, the only people who can see through this illusion magic other than you would be GiriGiri and Guren, ja~.”

I see I can understand now. It’s true that one would prefer to live normally, it would be quite troublesome if I were to make a noise wherever I go, so this seems to good as well~

“Hmm, I can understand it somewhat. Then, I apologize for this question, but why did Minarisu-san decide on this inn? There are many inns that are more luxurious than this one, right?”

When I asked that question, Minarisu-san started laughing heartily.

“Fu Fu, it’s about that, huh? I’ve decided to observe you closely for now. The reason is because I'm very interested in how far you will go.”

Wow, that’s totally eye-opening.

Just how interested are you though? Since you came here for the Great Invasion, are you that interested in how I was able to finish it? Let’s confirm this a bit more.

“That, I am glad that you have taken an interest in me, but why to such an extent? Is it because I stopped the Great Invasion?”

When I asked that to Minarisu-san,

“Hmm, that is certainly true. There is something more though, I'm more curious about….”

While she said that, Minarisu-san made a huge smile. Yes, it was the smile of a young girl and her laughing look was extremely cute. Her appearance right is a bit too cute though……..I seem to be getting a bad feeling right now, but I have already made it this far. There can’t be anything more outrageous than this, right!?

“Something more, what is it?”

When I asked that, Minarisu-san, who was laughing up until now, suddenly turned serious, and answered in a serious tone.

“There is, this is just a thought, but you don’t seem to be a person of this world, right?”

Ah, I did feel an oops moment back at the guild, but somehow, she seems to have noticed that I am not a person of this world as expected.

“Excuse me, but can I ask since when you have noticed?”

“Well, there are two reasons for this deduction; First of all, it’s because you asked for the difference between Elves and High Elves and you didn’t know this as you said that in the guild, but there are not many people in this world who do not know of this information. Moreover, I heard from Guresu that your actual age was 25 years old, it is a little unnatural that you are so old and yet do not know such basic information.”

What is it because I told my age to Guresu-san? What a slip-up!........I just thought that it was a joke, but I utterly failed. Thinking that her guess was correct, Minarisu-san continued to talk,

“Secondly, in this world, there does not exist people who have black eyes and black hair. I have lived for hundreds of years, and there was only one other person who had the same appearance as you.”

Well, I did know that my appearance was unusual in this world, but to think there existed only one other person with my appearance, even with the number of years that Minarisu-san has lived. I guess it’s quite fortunate that there is only one other person that has lived for so long in front of me.

……..Wait a second.

Minarisu-san, who has lived for hundreds of years, knows of only one other person who had black eyes and hair. It can’t be, probably….

“Yes, you noticed right, ja~. That’s right, the other person who had the same appearance as you was a person from another world.”

“That person, what was his name?”

“If I remember correctly, his name was Kuroda Ryunosuke, I think.”

There is no mistake……..he is a j.a.panese person just like me……..
