- 5 Chapters in 10 hours..... not bad I guess.
- Chapter 55
- Departure
- "I demand Decapitatiooooooooooon!"
- As expected of trash. My answer is equivalent to your crown.
- "Opps, it looks like you think your guillotine can hurt me"
- With a clang, the knights of the trash take out their swords and surround me.
- "Did you guys forget during the wave the I am the one who defeated the opponent those other heroes got trashed by?"
- I equip my shield and answer.
- As for the knights, none of them dare to move.
- An appearance befitting a hero. These are people that know of what happened during the wave, so they do not attack.
- Even if it was a half bluff.
- "What are you doing! kill this impudent bastard already!"
- "Hey......"
- I glare at the trash king and repeat.
- "Do you not understand? The present me can enter the castle from the entrance, murder you, and walk out just like that......"
- "Grrr......"
- At last, this trash seems to finally know his position. His face is mortified.
- "Do you believe I can actually do it?"
- I learnt that in this world threats and bluffs during negotiations are necessary. Therefore, against this trash I'll use it to the maximum.
- "If you're going to request a hero to do it, do you think they can win against me?"
- "Grrrrr......."
- The trash is grinding his teeth with frustration.
- "Being able to say such a thing--"
- "If you harm my subordinates? I'll kill you."
- Before I lose the possibility I will take the first move.
- Since I have no clarification, I don't know whether or not the Iron Maiden skill can kill this trash.
- But, I'm quite sure it will work.
- If I also include the flames from the Self-Curse Burning.
- The trash's expression turns blue when he understands his position.
- "Do not bother me trash. I will co-operate during a wave, but once it is over do not disturb me."
- This is my only threat but I cannot reveal my trump card easily. I'd prefer that to be my last resort.
- Even if I kill him here nothing will be solved. This trash's successor will just appear and put me on the wanted list.
- Even if I fight the other Heroes it is doubtful that I can win.
- Besides, if all three of them team up on me I will lose.
- "See ya"
- I turn my heal and walk out of the throne room.
- "Unforgivable! I won't forgive you Shieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeld!"
- The trash's scream resounds throughout the throne room.
- "That's my lineeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
- I pointed at the trash before leaving.
- After leaving the throne room I pss by a noble woman-like person.
- Concealing her lips with a fan and an expensive looking dress.
- The face is too well concealed to be able to tell her age.
- Perhaps late 20s......?
- Her hair is purple......Quite a rare colour......
- "thank you for participating degojaru
- Was whispered to me as we passed each other.
- Gojaru?
- Dangerous, I almost turned around.
- Hm?
- A girl just like Raphtalia when she was small and Firo's humanoid form is behind the woman.
- Her hair colour is bluish. Also something you don't see much.
- She is dressed well, is she her child?
- However, they don't really resemble each other......
- Though she her looks rivals that of Firo's human form. Is this little girl also a bird?
- Hm......
- I cannot remember who she looks like.
- Oh well, that person is probably unpleasant. Remembering is just a waste of time.
- So, at that time, we just crossed paths unintentionally.
- I had no idea this kid would become an important figure in a future uproar.
- By the way, Raphtalia and Firo were waiting for me in another room.
- And the fact that they predicted I would cause trouble and was even ready for escape was icing on the cake.
- Anyway, we left there in a hurry.
- The next day.
- I show up at the equipment store, to check on the requested carriage.
- "Oh it's the lad. The carriage you asked for is done."
- "Pretty quick. However old man, can you make anything as long as it's metal based?"
- "I had my acquaintance help out, so I didn't make all of it."
- Is this common for metal workers?
- "Well, he's just one of those guys that can do anything as long as you have money."
- "Lad, don't be sad just because you found out I can't do everything. I'm not versatile like you."
- "I'm not omnipotent either......"
- What does the old man think of me?
- "Well it's parked in the back."
- "Ah then let's check it out. By the way, Raphtalia-"
- Raphtalia grasps my hand before I finish.
- "What's wrong?"
- "This sword is still fine. Let's conserve money for now."
- "Well..... If Raphtalia says so......
- Though Firo is now our main attacker.
- It shouldn't be necessary for Raphtalia to act unless it's urgent, the same goes for me.
- This sounds bad, but there may be weapons somewhere else that are better than the ones in the old man's shop.
- We went around the equipment store to check out the metal wagon.
- The hood is metallic, and the whole carriage feels like an enlarged Christmas ornament that my parents bought.
- "Wow~......"
- Firo's eyes are shining with unprecedented brightness. She heads towards the front and grabs the handle.
- "Firo is going to pull this right!?"
- "Yeah"
- "Yaay~!"
- Firo is quite happy, both her feet and wings are flapping, as if wanting to bolt off at any moment.
- She has such a face.
- "For the time being let's carry in your luggage."
- "Okay"
- "Okay~!"
- We transfer the baggage from our carriage that we used in between waves to the new one.
- It took quite some time to carry the materials, merchandise, and tools.
- "How is it lad?"
- The old man from shows up when he has free time. And I answer with a thumbs up.
- "yeah, it's as great as I expected."
- "I see, but it seems to be very heavy, will the little missy be fine......?"
- "Yup!"
- "This fellow here ran around the country with a carriage that had 3 carts attached."
- "That's amazing"
- "Rather, it's lighter than I expected so I'm a little disappointed."
- "You know, stop being so stubborn!"
- What are the standards for Philo Rial anyway? Why do they feel great when they pull carriages?
- "Hahaha, do your best. So what'll you do from now on?"
- "What will I do?"
- "I heard about the commotion at the castle."
- The old man says to me with a somewhat troubled face.
- "That sure travelled quick"
- "Rumours keep the town lively."
- "Oh well. I did is so that trash would understand his position."
- "......Though it's only a matter of time before you get falsely accused again."
- "That's what I expected."
- "If possible I don't want to know."
- "I believe I asked this some time ago...... Are you going to go to Silt Welt or ShirudoFuriden to Class up?
- (Tl note: Still need some help for names of countries. シルトヴェルト (Silt Welt) シルドフリーデン (Shirudo Furiden)
- A few things come to mind when, and what I should have done when threatening trash is also get permission to use the Hourglass of the Dragon's era. But if the class up is controlled by the trash I will also fear for Raphtalia and Firo.
- I would rather not have that unnecessary anxiety haunting me.
- It would be best to get a free pass for Class up in any of these two countries.
- "Well, I expected you to go to be forced to leave this country someday."
- "What?"
- It seems the old man is nodding his head as if agreeing with himself.
- What does he mean?
- "I would recommend you going to ShiruFuriden. Silt Welt is in turmoil......"
- "Is that so?"
- "Yeah, humans there are treated just like the demi-humans in this country."
- No wonder...... It would be unsuitable for me who is a human.
- "But--"
- "Thanks for the help. I'll be going to ShirudoFuriden"
- We finished loading and got into the carriage.
- "Well then, I expect you to visit a great number of shops."
- "Thanks, Oh right. Do you know of any weapons that have a soul attribute, or can damage ghosts?"
- "I see, so you've gotten to the point where you need to prepare for such enemies."
- "I can make something cheaply from certain materials."
- "I cannot match you any more. If possible don't come back for a while. I'll tell you where you can get materials."
- "I understand. Thanks for all the help. Then, let's go."
- "Okay~"
- "See ya. old man."
- "Later"
- Firo pulls the rattling carriage.
- Our present goal is a Class up. It seems to be quite far into the future.
- With Firo's running speed we should arrive in two weeks.
- "Thats!"
- I hear a loud voice outside.
- Before leaving the castle town a something hits the metal carriage.
- "I found you!"
- "......What?"
- After making Firo stop, a little girl looks into the carriage and points at me.
- Behind the girl is a knight-like guy.
- These guys seems to have followed us for a while.
- "You did something terrible to father!"
- "Hmm?"
- What? The girl with blue hair that I am not familiar with gets closer.
- "What's with you."
- "Don't play dumb! I know that you can't hide it! You are an accomplished villain! The atrocious Hero of the Shield!"
- This goddamn noisy kid. Is she some aristocrat?
- That reminds me, I sold some cheap accessory to a noble before.
- Though it wasn't just once or twice. I can't remember how many times any more.
- "I see, your father just can't tell quality. I am just smarter."
- "What did you say!?"
- But, Hero of the Shield = Evil person..... That's quite unpleasant.
- Oh well, it's too late now.
- "Tell you father. To polish his aesthetic sense next time."
- "Boo,Boo...... I'll never admit it, mother is wrong, the Hero of the Shield is a bad person! I'll punish you!"
- The subordinate knights step forward according to the girl's order.
- "Hm. can you keep them company Firo?"
- "what~?"
- "Just go."
- "Okay"
- "Ah......"
- Firo stares at the goddamn kid and seems preoccupied.
- "Holy Bird?"
- "Eh?"
- Firo inclines her neck and looks at the goddamn kid puzzled.
- "Hurry up and go!"
- "Okay~"
- Firo nods, and the carriage suddenly takes off.
- "AH Wait---------------! Don'r run awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!"
- The voice of the goddamn kid fades into the distance.
- The castle town sucks as expected. Other than coming for shopping I would rather stay away.
