“―- So, the demon king is gone.”

In the king’s private chamber.

After defeating the Demon King, I had to report to my client who was King Randolph.

“Oh! Oh …! As expected, of a Legendary Assassin.”

Aged just over forty at this time of the year, King Randolph could be said to be neither strict nor a simpleton and was a good middle-aged man.

“No way, the Demon King who was said to be the strongest and most horrible in history…” 

“The report alone may have sounded simple, but without Almeria, we wouldn’t have even reached the Demon Castle.”

If it had been one-on-one, it would have worked best in my favour. However, as the situation was a one-against-many, brave Almeria and the mage Rina prevailed. My ability did not have enough firepower.

The priest, Seraphin, had a surprisingly sharp head and the Holy Knight Erwi had protected everyone as a wall acto, showing the way with her sense of justice.

I think we were a good team in taking advantage of our characteristics.

“Truly, a humble man.”
 

“I’m only saying the truth.”

“No, I’ve received individual reports from Almeria and others.The Hero party did not go well, but after reuniting with Roland, both the fighting ability and cooperation improved dramatically.”

“You’re overestimating me too much.”

“Not at all. In fact, it was said that subduing the Demon King was impossible. Not to mention doing it alone. Besides Almeria, Holy Knight Erwi, Rina the great mage, priest Seraphin… They all said that without Roland, they wouldn’t even have reached the castle.”

“I’m sure it was mutually advantageous……”

“You really won’t claim any credit. Well, let them prepare for the feast. Take your time relaxing in the castle for now.”

“I’ll hold back. You persist in “The heroes and Almeria who defeated the Demon King”… right?”

The light of the world was too bright for a shady person like me.

“Indeed, that’s what I said in my original request.”

The request from King Randolph was, in short, to help the hero party and assassinate the Demon King.

However, there was also the request of wanting the Heroes to be the ones who defeat the Demon King..

“Ferland Kingdom, the first princess and Hero, Almeria Ferland. She’s a great person to celebrate as a hero both in character and ability. Right, father?”

“You’re forgetting her appearance, Roland.”

That’s right, and I smiled wryly at the foolish remark of King Randolph the parent.

I agreed with him in regards to her appearance.

In the future, the Ferland Kingdom would attract  attention from countries all over the world, strengthening its political influence on other countries.

I had thought that I was asked to assassinate the Demon King in order to protect Almeria and the others, however……. Maybe he was simply worried about his daughter.

“However, Roland. If the true heroes were to leave empty-handed, it would disgrace the name of the Ferland Royal Family. Do you not have any desires? I can give you the most beautiful girls. If it’s money, just say how much you want. So is there anything you want? If you want a house, I’ll immediately prepare one.”

“Desire…”

I didn’t remember much from my childhood.

Only that I was raised by master instead of parents and had honed the skills he taught me to become an assassin.

I didn’t even know my real name.

I was only using the name, Roland, for this mission.

As for what I wanted, I had no idea at all.

“It’s easy for me to know how to kill someone, yet I don’t know what I want in the slightest.”

So far, I had killed countless monsters and people.

“Ah.”

Raising his voice, King Randolph waited for me.

“I may have said beautiful girls, but not Almeria. Almeria is still only 16. She hasn’t reached the age of marriage yet!!!”

For a 16 year old princess, I didn’t think it would be unusual for her to be engaged to a prince from some other place. He was probably unwilling to give her hand out easily. If he was, there would be as many suitors as their were stars in the sky.

King Randolph folded his arms and groanedd.

“But… but, Roland… If you say you want to marry Almeria…! This Roland will shed tears of blood.”

“No, I don’t want Almeria.”

“Don’t want her?!”

Randolph felt relieved and happy.

He was a pretty pleased king.

“But you saying you don’t want her is also annoying in its own way.……”

It seemed like he didn’t approve of my remark about Almeria being unnecessary.

Hearing Almeria’s name reminded me of something.

Almeria had once said, “I want to live a normal life.”

We wondered what normal was, but no one knew.

In the first place, none of us had lived a “normal life”.

Speaking of the life I know, I had spent my days training and working in this assassination business while living with my master in the mountains.

That was probably not normal.

“…… A normal life.”

“Hmm? What about it?”

“I want to live a normal life. I want to live a mundane life, not as an assassin, but as an ordinary human being.”

Making money without killing people or monsters.

Not having to fool anyone and living in peace.

Not worrying about someone betraying me.

Being able to eat a hot meal when I returned home.

Sleeping in a bed at night. This kind of life.

“That’s what you want? Even though you can surround yourself with beautiful women everyday?”

“I don’t want to be like King Randolph.”

“What are you saying? Making children is one of my greatest jobs.”

King Randolph joked indignantly.

“Well, alright. I also understand that “normal” is difficult to achieve. To obtain that “normal life”, let me prepare the necessary things.”

In the first place, the reward was to fulfill all my wishes.

I received around 100,000,000 Rin for immediate living expenses.

(TN: Hmmm idk what to call it リン This is has multiple words to use so ima leave it at rin if maybe in the manga if it shows something else ill probably change it)

Would that be enough? King Randolph seemed anxious.

“That’s enough. Thank you.””

“What are you talking about? I should be the one thanking you.”

King Randolph and I shook hands firmly.

Scratch~~~Scratch~~~~

From outside the door came a scratching sound and a black cat came in through the slightly open doorway.

“Cat……? A lost stray cat…? No, it’s wearing a collar.” (King)

The black cat meowed.

It approached my feet so I stroked its head and tickled its chin.

“Roland, if something happens again…”

I shook my head, halting his words.

“Don’t. It’s your job to make a world where you won’t have to ask me for “something”.”

King Randolph smiled wryly.

“That’s true. Well then, let’s pray that we won’t meet again. Especially as enemies.”

“It’ll be fine. I’m going to live a normal life, so I’ll never see the king again.”

Saying that, I left the king’s private quarters.

The black cat also followed me.

Meowing, it started scratching its collar with its hind leg.

“All right, all right.”

The collar was a kind of magic tool.

It was a pretty rare item, but I was glad that I had it.

When I touched the collar to imbue magic, the black cat glowed faintly and changed into its human form..

“The cat form is cramped so I can’t help it.”

She brushed her red hair off her shoulder.

Her name is Laila Diakepu.

(TN: Or Should I keep it to Lylael?)

Since her name was so long, she had told me to just call her Laila.

“Well, you’ll get used to it soon.”

“The hero who defeated the Demon King… Hearing that you wanted a “normal life”… You are a strange man.”

Laila chuckled.

“What is this Demon King that was defeated in under ten minutes by this strange man saying?”

Besides changing appearances, the collar also had the ability to inversely decrease the wearer’s power if the amount of magic used was increased.

Since it was created specifically for the Demon King, it was the worst item for Laila.

If it was sold, the money would be enough to build a castle.

At that time, the Demon King was considered dead.

Leaving behind the fake corpse that Laila made, I had left the Demon King’s Castle.

“It is a masterpiece made from my best magic techniques. Even if the Demon Army officers survived, they will not be able to see through it!”

Lila was confident about this.

Only I have ever seen the human form of the Demon King up close.

And, I put a collar on her that would never ever come off.

At that time, the Demon King no longer existed.

“You are a gentle man.”

“The only reason you are alive is because the collar is useless. Even if I sold it, it could be misused and I don’t need the money from selling it.”

Live as a cat from now on. Even though he had said that, Laila came on her own.

“I am grateful that you also removed the collar that was called Demon King.”

When I told her to sing, Laila hugged my arm.

I liked it for some reason.

“For an assassin, you have sweet tendencies. Fufufufu”

“Oh, right. That’s why I’m not an assassin starting from today.”

“So where are we going now?”

Hugging my arm, Laila asked me with an excited expression.

I tried to shake her off since it was difficult to walk, but she grabbed on firmly and wouldn’t let go.

Even though her magical power was gone, it seemed like the general strength of a woman was still there.

“I’ve decided. We’ll go to a “normal town” that’s neither urban nor country.”

“Again with the “normal”… I’m not feeling excited at all…”

“I’m not doing it to get you excited.”

Speaking to each other in disapproval, Laila and I disappeared into the crowds at the capital.
