- As expected of the trash king
- Chapter 54
- Farewell
- We returned to where the boss died to check up on those heroes who have fainted with volunteers and villagers.
- So unnecessary.....
- Well I had to return to get materials from the wave for my shield to abosrb, since the Assault Shadow Goblin and Shadow Lizardmen were only shadows they could not be absorbed.
- No, I have a feeling that if i make a lump of shadows and compress it I should be able to absorb it.
- Shadow Shield
- Ability Unsealed......Equipment Bonus: Darkness Resistance (Small)
- The other guys are omitted because the only equipment bonus they provided was for stats.
- (Tl note: It's not because I'm lazy he just says 他の奴等は全部ステータスアップ系の装備ボーナスしかないので省略する。)
- The big ghost-like fish that the other Heroes defeated is quite desirable.
- "Aan~"
- "Don't eat it."
- Because Firo was about to eat the head I ordered her to stop.
- As for why this bird went berserk, the cause is still unknown.
- My speculation is that it should be due to the dragon core that this fellow carelessly ate.
- "But......"
- When I was about to pick it up my hand fell through and onto the ground, it was quite surprising.
- "How did you pick it up?"
- "I used wind magic on my hand"
- "Hah......"
- I can't even touch it barehanded,this sure is quite the strange fish.
- I asked the volunteer soldiers to bring the other heroes here, It seems their exclusive weapons are necessary.
- Since one of them possess a weapon with a cheap attribute that is useful, I'll have to borrow it.
- According to Firo, the item itself has to have magic imbued.
- My shield absorbs a part of the head.
- Soul Eater Shield
- Ability Unsealed......Equipment Bonus: Skill "Second Shield" Soul Resistance (Intermediate) Mind Attack Resistance (Intermediate) SP Up
- Special effect: Soul Devour Sp recovery (Weak)
- Even though the demon head was dismantled the name did not disappear so it doesn't really matter.
- I absorb another part but there is no change either.
- However, I am curious as to what the Second Shield skill does. As for soul resistance......It is probably resistance against attacks of this type.
- the name Soul Devour makes me slightly anxious. It seems I can eat souls; it's quite unpleasant.
- The shape of my shield changes slowly. The design seemed to be based off of this demon's head since it is attached to my shield.
- ...... It's defence is greater than the Chimeric Viper Shield.
- It seems Soul Devour is a skill that is exclusive to this shield.
- So I reach out my hand.
- When I do so I am unable to touch the flesh of the soul eater.
- But it still feels different somehow.
- Good.
- I don't want anything that will consume souls, I don't have such a hobby.
- It's probably a counter effect. It will probably just absorb the enemy's SP.
- Now then, what will the skill Second Shield do?
- I'll experiment.
- "Second Shield!"
- Air Strike Shield -> Second Shield
- An icon appears.
- "Air Strike Shield!"
- After I confirm the Air Strike Shield appearing I once again call out
- "Second Shield!"
- ......Another shield appears.
- I see. It seems I'll be able to add another shield on top of Air Strike Shield within it's effect duration.
- This will have various uses, but the performance of the second shield may be different.
- I pay more attention to the remains of the Soul Eater.
- "I want to absorb the rest, but then those annoying fellows won't shut up about it......
- They probably won't shut up.
- This is troubling since there are beings stronger than the heroes who are already the strongest in this world.
- If those three are this weak, even if I become strong I won't be able to take it easy.
- Sigh...... Should I just leave?
- "Master, can Firo have the rest?"
- The bird is slobbering everywhere while being noisy.
- "Can't be helped......"
- I cut the area from the back bone to the tail and give it to Firo.
- Who ate it it one gulp.
- "This texture is like a slime~"
- "Wait a minute bird. When did we encounter slimes?"
- "Uhmm you see~"
- I'll omit the details and abbreviate.
- As a result I was angry.
- In the meaning that I didn't get to absorb any by my shield.
- "Alright, let's help out with the reconstruction of the village."
- Along with the volunteers we started helping out around the village, by processing demon corpses and reconstructing any damaged buildings.
- Still, I cannot help everyone. So my top priority became making meals and treating injuries.
- "Okay!"
- The volunteers obediently did what I asked without question.
- It seems I don't need to doubt them anymore.
- One night passed after the long fight, it seems the knights have finally arrived.
- Along with the volunteers I was summoned by an angry knight leader.
- "Bastard! who gave you permission to selfishly take my soldiers!"
- "This isn't the Hero-sama's responsibility! we were the ones who wanted to help and borrow his power."
- "What? You lot call yourselves knights of Merlot Mark? By siding with the shield bastard?"
- "You know...... this is quite the disgrace scene, if you have a problem with our behaviour just get rid of us right?"
- The volunteers protected my by frankly expressing their opinions.
- According to the stories I head, the upper echelon of the knights had a meeting after they found out that the volunteers wanted to help a Hero.
- "I think that if these guys weren't here there would be much more damage."
- the villagers who heard what I said also nod.
- "The other heroes and their companions were brought to that building to rest after they were defeated by the formidable enemy who appeared during the wave."
- Though they weren't asked to the villagers take care of the Heroes and their companions.
- Thanks to the prescribed medicine, they will have a complete recovery in a few days.
- Due to the fast recovery they regained consciousness today.
- "Hurry up carry out Hero-sama and their companions, send them to the Treatment Institute Immediately!"
- "Hey...... They are going to be fine. Priority goes to the villagers and others who are severely injured."
- "The Heroes are our top Priority, For this world and our country."
- What an arrogant answer......
- Well, it seems their problem is that I prioritized the treatment of villagers.
- "Whatever. Go away, I'm busy."
- "Wait, Shield"
- The knight leader calls for my to stop, so I turn around and ask for the circumstances.
- "What is it this time......"
- "You need to give a report, so come to the castle."
- "No thanks, that place stinks."
- "I'm telling you to come!"
- Do you have the authority? Even though this is meaningless why does it still have to be prioritized.
- The volunteers lower their heads and look down, but I just ignore it and turn around.
- "Hero of the Shield-sama I beg you, please go......"
- ......Oh, this guy obeyed my instructions and acted properly.
- I cannot coldly refuse,though it is also necessary to go collect my metal wagon from the old man.
- "Hah......"
- I look back while scratching my head.
- "Fine. I'll go. But I'll only meet this guy once."
- "Thank you very much!"
- I nodded to the volunteer who expressed his thanks.
- This, we went straight to the castle.
- Next day.
- We arrive at the castle town and enter the castle.
- "The shield's companions have to wait in another room."
- "Why am I the only one that goes?"
- Why is this guy acting so overbearing?
- "Hey, can I leave yet?"
- This is going to be a giant waste of time.
- "Please don't go. There are various things that you must hear."
- "I would have liked to talk about them before coming here."
- The process of how the other heroes got smashed and how we defeated the enemy was already explained.
- It seems one of the volunteers confirmed what I said since he happened to see it.
- In any case, if the trash king tries to force something on me I'll just run away.
- Due to Raphtalia and Firo I will not be easily caught.
- "Quiet! You are in the King's presence!"
- I was guided to the throne and the trash king greeted me with a grim expression.
- It seems he already heard the story. He seems to be irritated.
- "Although it is regrettable, thanks to the shield the wave was defeated. Though I don't believe it."
- "Is that any way to thank a person?"
- "Insolence!......Well, it's fine. I only want to ask one thing. Though I'm sure you're lying."
- "......What do you want"
- It is a little annoying that he believes everything I say to be false.
- "Shield, how did you outwit the other heroes and steal their strength? You have an obligation to speak, though I don't believe it. Now speak. Though I know you're lying."
- ......So it's about that. The trash king is concerned that the other heroes are weaker than me.
- Hah. I am so disgusted that I can't even talk.
- Honestly, Glass beat the other heroes up.
- Even though the Heroes outnumbered her they still lost.
- Did I only win due to compatibility and the fact that the other party was worn out? Or were the other heroes weak and not even exhaust her.
- I should look around that vicinity when I'm free.
- But, what to do here.
- Alright.
- I showed a radiant smile to the trash and gave him a thumbs down.
- "Prostrate yourself if you want to find out."
- "What?"
- All that's on the trash king's face is a dumbfounded expression.
- that's a very interesting face. I want a picture.
- "Did you not hear me? It seems trash has poor hearing. I told you to rub your head on the ground if you want to know."
- "Yo-Yo-Yo"
- "What's wrong? You sound like a screeching monkey. Oh I see, the trash king of this country is indeed lower than a monkey. Though I would rather be talking to a monkey."
- The trash king's face is instantly dyed-red, and stares at me like I'm responsible for the murder of his parents.
- Ah, this feels pretty good.
- "You bastard----------------------!"
- The cry of the trash king echoes throughout the castle.
- Enemy from the wave in front, and trash king in the back.
- But, I do not intend to be defeated by either.
- And in this way I parted with the trash king.
