@ translator, with the distiction of word usages you pointed out in the TN, and the understanding that "assassination" is mostly distinctive from other killings by its political motive, I suggest making the distinct English translations in the same vein: shikaku 刺客--> "killer-for-hire" or "hired killer" "hitman" (thanks, @Abricomas); ansatsusha --> "stealth killer" (or may be "shadow killer/guard" if there's no overlap with some killer using shadow magic later) (based on the kanji 暗殺者 "secret/stealthy" + "kill" + "person (pronoun)", usually translated as "assassin" but Hein here is more a skilled secret guardian capable of killing than the usual primarily-killing-as-a-job type), and hitokiri 人斬り--> "manslayer" or just "slayer" (Shurine doesn't seem to think twice about relieving opponents of breathing privileges).

Holy soy
Medieval blacksmith preaching about how he doesn't want to make swords for killing people (WTF does he think a sword is for) into le epic "I don't keep count?!?!?!!~~~!111" (most cliche possible way to show your protagonist is coldblooded, made even worse by the dogshit setup)
