- Damn this one was long
- Chapter 51
- The Third Disaster
- Today is the day that the old man finishes creating the equipment I ordered.
- We arrive when the shop opens.
- "Oh, it's the lad. You sure are early"
- "I guess. So how is it? were you able to finish it?"
- "Of course. By the way, your pot of of food has become an enormous topic for some reason."
- "How would I know. Ask the guy who is spreading the rumour."
- "That's impossible......"
- The old man brings out our armour from the back of the shop.
- Rather than making a barbaric suit by sewing bones to it, the dragon and chimera bones were grounded to a powder to make bone mail. Probably.
- It's like Hokuto no Ken clothing Mark 2.
- (tl note: Fist of the north star reference)
- By the way is this called a racing suit or a rider suit?
- "Old man, do you want to make me the king of thieves that badly?"
- It may be because originally the materials were meant to be made in to savage tribal armour.
- "Huh? What're you saying lad?"
- As for wearing this...... Despite this being a fantasy world all I can think about is the Showa Era.
- For now I might as well test its performance.
- "By the way, how is this armour?"
- "That was already quite difficult to custom-make, it's as good as Barbarian Armour +1"
- "This +1 looks like it's not complete yet. Did you say whether or not there are clothes made from the Dragon skin to go with this?"
- Even the design is different.
- The front is from Hokuto no Ken, and the lustre from the zombie dragon skin reminds me of rubber.
- Only the chest has a pitiful amount of metal to protecting it.
- What can I say? It's perfect to ride on a motorcycle with.
- Since there is no motorcycle in this would, will I be roaring across the lands on Firo? Stop thinking about!
- Barbarian Armour +1?
- Defence Up Shock Resistance (Intermediate) Flame Resistance (High) Darkness Resistance (High) Hp recovery (Weak) Magic Up (Intermediate)
- Enchantment: Automatic Restoration
- There are various resistances.
- Automatic restoration...... I don't know the efficiency from this alone. I wonder if it will repair itself if It is ruptured......
- Based on these bonuses alone the performance should be great, I seem to have to wear these clothes that cannot be called armour.
- "What's up lad? Have you seen this armour before?"
- "You do know I'm not from this world right? In my world...... the comparison for this would would be clothes you wear while riding Philo Rial or horses."
- "In that case, Master wear it and get on Firo!"
- Firo stares at me with sparkling eyes.
- "Lad. What this little bird Missy just said sounds incredibly obscene."
- The old man mutters with a bit of a disgusted look in his eyes.
- "Shut up!"
- Old man, did you make this armour with thoughts of harassing me?
- "What's wrong lad?"
- ......Should be different. There is no malice.
- "W-well. I'll take it."
- Raphtalia commented that I looked good dressed like that.
- Wearing this outfit around town......I feel isolated.
- ......It's not even armour, it's more like clothes. Very sad.
- Well, the preparations for the wave have finished without a problem.
- Raphtalia's black bruises have recovered completely thanks to the strong holy water used every day.
- I heaved a sigh of relief because it was able to be completely cured.
- There might still be a scar left. But, I wanted to heal her as soon as possible.
- Accessories for Raphtalia and Firo were also completed today.
- "Here is the accessories you asked for"
- "Yay~!"
- "Okay"
- "First off, Raphtalia"
- I pass Raphtalia a bracelet made of jade.
- "Thank you very much"
- "The enchantment on that is Magic Up (Small). It will also act as a lightning rod for magic cast on you that lowers your Magic Defence."
- "I'll treasure it."
- "Is that really all you want? I can seriously make you some nice looking jewellery if you want."
- "What are you saying. We can't afford to waste time on looks."
- That's right.
- It can't be helped if the person herself doesn't want it.
- "Next, Firo"
- I pass Firo hairpin made of amber.
- I put emphasis on the shape to make it look like a wing, to match Firo's demon form.
- "It has an enchantment for Dexterity Up (small)"
- "Thank you master~"
- "I was a little limited by the materials on hand. If you want any changes then endure it for now."
- "There are no problems with it. I will use this accessory to it's maximum potential."
- "Yup! Firo will work hard!"
- "I have high hopes"
- We take the rest of the time to prepare. I made some arrangements with the kids who volunteered earlier.
- Firo has already been briefed about fighting against the wave. At first Firo had a question mark above her head asking about what the wave was, but after a while she understood.
- Medicine has been prepared. The carriage.....Is broken, and since the new one isn't completed yet, Firo pulled a cart instead.
- Anyway, it seems to have become my duty to protect any villages in the vicinity since the other heroes just run off.
- Though I am not actually needed to participate, it would be despicable to just abandon people.
- 00:05
- 5 Minutes left.
- It seems i can sense where we will appear so I let the volunteer soldiers know beforehand.
- Change shield to the Chimeric Viper Shield.
- 00:00
- It's time!
- A loud sound similar to glass shattering echoes.
- The scenery changes instantly.
- We scan the neighbourhood calmly.
- "This is......"
- Yeah. Near the village with that man who was bringing medicine to his mother who was suffering from an illness.
- No matter how much they rush the earliest anyone would make it here form the castle town would be a day and a half.
- There are red cracks spreading through the sky.
- "Hero of the Shield-sama!"
- The volunteers who were also summoned run up to me.
- As for the other three heroes----.
- "Firo! If you're going to kick that spear bastard do it so that he flies towards the cracks. It'll help him get there faster."
- "Okay~!"
- Firo listens to my order and runs off.
- Due to her speed she catches up to the correct party.
- "Eh----?"
- As soon as the spear bastard looks back he is kicked by Firo.
- """Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"""
- His whole party was kicked away. It feels good to see that fucking woman also getting blown away.
- Though there wasn't much damage since Firo held back.
- "Wh-What did you do that for!"
- It seems the spear is trying to say something to us.
- I ignore the spear and glare at the bow and sword.
- (Tl note: He's not saying any of the hero's names just calling them by their weapons)
- "Stop being a fool and wasting time!"
- "what is up with you right now!?"
- "Yeah! We must defeat the enemies spawned from the wave!"
- I am amazed at anger of the foolish heroes.
- "Listen to me first, you can hunt the enemy afterwards."
- I direct the volunteers towards the neighbouring village.
- They nodded and ran off towards the village according to my orders.
- "Now...... Stop interfering with our work!"
- "It's different!"
- Itsuki is surprised by my roar and looked at me with bulging eyes.
- "Calm down and think about it. Because I cannot receive aid money, I will not fight against the main body of the wave. As far as I am concerned I will be trying to defend the towns and villages within the neighbourhood. Do you guys understand?"
- "Yeah"
- "You are disqualified as a hero"
- "that's right!"
- All their followers are taunting me.
- "Now you guys. Defeating the enemies who spawn from the waves is your job. I do not know whether or not the wave is stopped if you defeat the boss."
- "It is connected to the boss!"
- Itsuki seems to have gotten excited and answers.
- Such a thing doesn't matter.
- "However, besides that we have important work......do you guys understand?"
- "What would that be?"
- Ren even you don't understand? I mean you should know since this world resembles a game.
- Why don't you understand? To ask that would sound very sarcastic so I'll hold back.
- "Do you guys know about the Knights?"
- The the heroes close their eyes at my voice.
- "They will come later"
- I bring out a magic flare and show them.
- "The distance from here to the castle town is one and a half days on horse or philo rial. That's too far!.
- "Then, what should we do!"
- "How did you get this information!?"
- I point at the volunteers running towards the village.
- "Now that I think about it...... How did you transfer with those people?"
- "Seriously? You guys don't even know the Party function......?"
- "For companions? I thought we couldn't have that many."
- "This is different...... A party leader is nominated and everyone who is within the party is a subordinate, that also makes them all part of the transfer."
- Perhaps......these guys. I have more knowledge about the wave compared to them?
- "First of all that was confirmation. Now it is confirmed that we can bring help during the waves."
- ...... Nobody says anything.
- "Do you guys know of the help and tutorial?"
- "Yeah. We have mastered this world."
- " Anyway, our top priority is to suppress the wave......so, see ya!"
- "then fighting against the wave for you guys...... is a game?
- "What?"
- "What about it?"
- "Let's hurry and go!"
- My question was disregarded by Itsuki who ran off.
- "Motoyasu, do you know the meaning of my question?"
- "Well...... Instant dungeon?"
- No......
- "This is different. Is it a time attack wave?"
- Ren......that is also wrong.
- "Is it like a guild war? or a game with large scale battles?"
- there was a game in my original world where there was a big even in which the players had only a week to participate.
- As expected, It seems that the only ones who can use the party system are the heroes.
- In fact, if the knights were late last wave and if I retreated the damage would be tremendous.
- "......Do you understand it completely because you used to run a big guild?"
- Since their co-operation is top priority I'll just be subtle about it.
- Of course the Heroes who are ace players have to lead the charge.
- But, to minimize damage we must co-operate with the residents of this world.
- The fact that they don't understand is amusing.
- "I managed a team before."
- Is Motoyasu's answer.
- He glances at Firo's demon form. Well he probably doesn't want to be kicked.
- "Then you cannot understand."
- "I don't need to."
- "Huh!?"
- " It will all work out one way or another."
- Sigh..... Am I a secretary making sure you do your work?
- "I'm not interested in this."
- Ren......I'm not good at talking to people about guild warfare since I didn't participate.
- He is armour is quite cool.
- I want to know if this guy is capable of managing a large-scale guild.
- "Anyway, this time we need to do our best, and make sure to bring knights next time."
- I need to lay a foundation to combat the waves.
- Both Ren and Motoyasu run off without hiding their unpleasantness towards me.
- Hey, Don't spit on the road!
- "Anyway. Let's go the village in the neighbourhood too."
- "Okay~!"
- We got in the cart, and Raphtalia hurried to the village with me.
- "Ouch-!"
- We arrived at the village just as the wave got there. Everything is covered in shadows, wolves, lizardmen, condors, and some goblins.
- These guys remind me of Demi-humans, but all dark and covered with shadows.
- Respectively they are called, Dark Condor, Black Wolf, Assault Shadow Goblin, and Shadow Lizardmen.
- (tlnote: ゴブリンアサルトシャドウ That is the best name for a goblin ever)
- And there was "Dimensional" added before each of their names.
- They are just like ghosts that disappear into shadows when defeated.
- it's downright creepy.
- These demons are totally different from the previous wave, is this going to be the case from now on?
- At any rate, I'll leave all the troublesome things to those guys.
- That is.
- "Acha-!"
- I hear a strange battle cry from the old woman whom I fed medicine to. She is faring well with a hoe in one hand.
- The volunteers are perplexed by this old woman as well.
- "Ah, the saint! Thanks for the medicine! Acha-!"
- The old woman bows to me after delivering blow after blow with the hoe to the demons that are rushing forwards
- This old woman is quite strong, there are demon corpses left and right.
- "Hey, you come over here and say thanks."
- "Uhm right, Thank you very much."
- The son of the old woman bows to me too.
- "Anyway, for the time being please evacuate and take shelter, these enemies are spawning from the wave."
- The volunteers are instructing the villagers to take refuge.
- The intervals between more enemies arriving and eliminate the current demons is quite small.
- We also join the suppression of the enemy.
- "Acha-!"
- The old woman casually slaughters the enemies.
- Are these really the movements of a person who was about to die a month ago?
- "My old strength was returned thanks to the divine blessings of the saint. Hahaha!"
- The old woman glares at her son and he also starts fighting to his fullest but he seems quite shy.
- However, he is not as good as his parent. The volunteers are barely able to put up a fight.
- No one can compare to the old woman.
- "Even though I look like this, back in my prime I was quite a famous adventurer. My level is the same as my age! Acha-!"
- "What a reckless grandmother!"
- I don't think even a thousand would be a match for her.
- While I hold back the enemy, they are massacred by power that is comparable to Firo.
- I'm scared that when the battle is over she will run out of battery and drop.
- "What did I give that old woman to drink?"
- "Who knows......"
- Raphtalia watches the grandmother with utter amazement.
- I will have to question her son closely later.
- Anyway, now is time to treat any injured people.
- "It is top priority for those who are injured fall back from the defence line towards the cart."
- I perform treatment on injured people while giving instructions.
- "Acha! Saint-sama, it seems there's a suspicious one among the invaders."
- It seems there is a fairly big Dimensional Shadow Lizardman mixed in. He is about twice the size of the others.
- "Raphtalia, Firo, we'll kill that fellow together."
- The volunteers will be a burden.
- "Okay!"
- "Okay~!"
- I run towards the big game.
- The Dimensional Shadow Lizardman is brandishing a huge black sword.
- I run in front of it and hold up my shield.
- A loud screeching sound can be heard as sparks scatter.
- Snake's Poison Fang (Intermediate) activates and poisons the enemy.
- But there is barely any effect. This kind of enemy is a reptile after all.
- However, poison is not what I was aiming for.
- "Eryaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
- A fearless Raphtalia pierces her sword right in to the abdomen of the Dimensional Shadow Lizardman.
- "Deryaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
- The face of the Dimensional Shadow Lizardman is blown away by a single blow from Firo.
- Dimensional Shadow Lizardman falls over and collapses on it's back.
- "Amazing......"
- One of the volunteers unconsciously lets his thoughts out.
- "Good! You guys go around the village and do damage control."
- If the grandmother, six volunteers , and some adventurers who live here go protect the village a lot of the damage can be avoided.
- There should still be other villages in this neighbourhood. It will be dangerous if we do not go help as soon as possible.
- "Use what medicine you need, the ride won't be comfortable. Let's get going."
- Some volunteers get into the cart per my instructions.
- "Let's go!"
- "Roger~!"
- Firo pulls the cart that has become heavier, and starts running with her explosive power.
- When we arrived at the next village, some volunteers looked to be in pain, but it wasn't particularly bad so I ignored it.
- This village seems to have taken a lot more damage than the previous one.
- Houses were burnt, and some villagers are injured.
- "Hurry go rescue anyone you can!"
- "O-Okay!"
- While slaughtering demons we were waiting for the wave to end.
- "......So slow!"
- 3 hours have passed since then.
- We are barely able to defend the villages in the neighbourhood, but dealing with endless waves of demons is not very helpful.
- The evacuation of villagers was done properly, and the casualties amongst villagers were minimal.
- The refugees were not attacked when spotted because we were here. So our offences and defences continue as is.
- It would be too late regardless.
- How long are those heroes going to take?
- "Hero-sama, leave this place to us. Shouldn't you go support the other Hero-samas?"
- The child soldier who greeted me first gave the proposal.
- "There is no meaning if I go......"
- If I go to help them defeat the boss, they will just complain that I went to steal glory.
- "But......"
- The volunteers looks exhausted. Fighting for 3 hours against unending enemies will do that to your stamina.
- Raphtalia, and Firo are also considerably tired. I am no different.
- "Ahahahaha-!"
- Firo kicks a Dimensional Assault Shadow Goblin while laughing.
- Yup. Firo is still all right. That bird is a massive lump of stamina.
- "Will you be fine?"
- "Please leave it to me!"
- There seems to be some stamina left over.
- "Then I'll take you up on your offer. I'm counting on you."
- "Okay!'
- "Raphtalia, Firo, let's go!"
- "Understood."
- "Okay~!"
- We left the village to the volunteers and adventurers, while we rode towards the boss of the wave on Firo.
