My Status as an assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero's vol 3 by Matsuri Akai

Akira and Amelia decide to adopt the not-so-fierce demon kitty. Amelia heals him, and Akira names him Night. Akira and Night form a new pact as master and servant, which will allow the demon king to still be able to see everything with the link inherent between demon king and all demons, but will give Akira and Night special abilities. Night reveals that there are three other dungeons in the world, and each dungeon challenges a different aspect of the character's skills. A portal opens at the end of the labyrinth, and Akira decides to travel to the next labyrinth in the forest of the Elven people, where Amelia is being hunted by her twin sister.  With Akira caught right in the middle of the power struggle in the Elven kingdom, will he ever make it to the labyrinth to continue his development?

There is so much about the stories it reminds me of the original Final Fantasy game, including the four Labyrinths that are slightly tied to elements. I’m also always a sucker for demon kitties becoming sidekicks, so I’m sure I will appreciate having Night around. This volume didn’t have as much of Tsubasa and friends, so hopefully we will get an update on how their quest is going in volume four.  This is a really fun series and storyline that is getting a lot more interesting than just a RPG turned into a manga.
