Chapter 55
Departure
âI demand Decapitatiooooooooooon!â
As expected of trash. My answer is equivalent to your crown.
âOpps, it looks like you think your guillotine can hurt meâ
With a clang, the knights of the trash take out their swords and surround me.
âDid you guys forget during the wave the I am the one who defeated the opponent those other heroes got trashed by?â
I equip my shield and answer.\n
As for the knights, none of them dare to move.\n
An appearance befitting a hero. These are people that know of what happened during the wave, so they do not attack.\n
Even if it was a half bluff.
âWhat are you doing! kill this impudent bastard already!â\n
âHeyâŠâŠâ
I glare at the trash king and repeat.
âDo you not understand? The present me can enter the castle from the entrance, murder you, and walk out just like thatâŠâŠâ\n
âGrrrâŠâŠâ
At last, this trash seems to finally know his position. His face is mortified.
âDo you believe I can actually do it?â
I learnt that in this world threats and bluffs during negotiations are necessary. Therefore, against this trash Iâll use it to the maximum.
âIf youâre going to request a hero to do it, do you think they can win against me?â\n
âGrrrrrâŠâŠ.â
The trash is grinding his teeth with frustration.
âBeing able to say such a thingââ\n
âIf you harm my subordinates? Iâll kill you.â
Before I lose the possibility I will take the first move.\n
Since I have no clarification, I donât know whether or not the Iron Maiden skill can kill this trash.\n
But, Iâm quite sure it will work.\n
If I also include the flames from the Self-Curse Burning.\n
The trashâs expression turns blue when he understands his position.
âDo not bother me trash. I will co-operate during a wave, but once it is over do not disturb me.â
This is my only threat but I cannot reveal my trump card easily. Iâd prefer that to be my last resort.\n
Even if I kill him here nothing will be solved. This trashâs successor will just appear and put me on the wanted list.\n
Even if I fight the other Heroes it is doubtful that I can win.\n
Besides, if all three of them team up on me I will lose.
âSee yaâ
I turn my heal and walk out of the throne room.
âUnforgivable! I wonât forgive you Shieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeld!â
The trashâs scream resounds throughout the throne room.
âThatâs my lineeeeeeeeeeeeeee!â
I pointed at the trash before leaving.\n
After leaving the throne room I pss by a noble woman-like person.\n
Concealing her lips with a fan and an expensive looking dress.\n
The face is too well concealed to be able to tell her age.\n
Perhaps late 20sâŠâŠ?\n
Her hair is purpleâŠâŠQuite a rare colourâŠâŠ
âthank you for participating degojaru
Was whispered to me as we passed each other.\n
Gojaru?\n
Dangerous, I almost turned around.\n
Hm?\n
A girl just like Raphtalia when she was small and Firoâs humanoid form is behind the woman.\n
Her hair colour is bluish. Also something you donât see much.\n
She is dressed well, is she her child?\n
However, they donât really resemble each otherâŠâŠ\n
Though she her looks rivals that of Firoâs human form. Is this little girl also a bird?\n
HmâŠâŠ\n
I cannot remember who she looks like.\n
Oh well, that person is probably unpleasant. Remembering is just a waste of time.
So, at that time, we just crossed paths unintentionally.\n
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.\n
And the fact that they predicted I would cause trouble and was even ready for escape was icing on the cake.\n
Anyway, we left there in a hurry.
The next day.\n
I show up at the equipment store, to check on the requested carriage.
âOh itâs the lad. The carriage you asked for is done.â\n
âPretty quick. However old man, can you make anything as long as itâs metal based?â\n
âI had my acquaintance help out, so I didnât make all of it.â
Is this common for metal workers?
âWell, heâs just one of those guys that can do anything as long as you have money.â\n
âLad, donât be sad just because you found out I canât do everything. Iâm not versatile like you.â\n
âIâm not omnipotent eitherâŠâŠâ
What does the old man think of me?
âWell itâs parked in the back.â\n
âAh then letâs check it out. By the way, Raphtalia-â
Raphtalia grasps my hand before I finish.
âWhatâs wrong?â\n
âThis sword is still fine. Letâs conserve money for now.â\n
âWellâŠ.. If Raphtalia says soâŠâŠ
Though Firo is now our main attacker.\n
It shouldnât be necessary for Raphtalia to act unless itâs urgent, the same goes for me.\n
This sounds bad, but there may be weapons somewhere else that are better than the ones in the old manâs shop.\n
We went around the equipment store to check out the metal wagon.\n
The hood is metallic, and the whole carriage feels like an enlarged Christmas ornament that my parents bought.
âWow~âŠâŠâ
Firoâs eyes are shining with unprecedented brightness. She heads towards the front and grabs the handle.
âFiro is going to pull this right!?â\n
âYeahâ\n
âYaay~!â
Firo is quite happy, both her feet and wings are flapping, as if wanting to bolt off at any moment.\n
She has such a face.
âFor the time being letâs carry in your luggage.â\n
âOkayâ\n
âOkay~!â
We transfer the baggage from our carriage that we used in between waves to the new one.\n
It took quite some time to carry the materials, merchandise, and tools.
âHow is it lad?â
The old man from shows up when he has free time. And I answer with a thumbs up.
âyeah, itâs as great as I expected.â\n
âI see, but it seems to be very heavy, will the little missy be fineâŠâŠ?â\n
âYup!â\n
âThis fellow here ran around the country with a carriage that had 3 carts attached.â\n
âThatâs amazingâ\n
âRather, itâs lighter than I expected so Iâm a little disappointed.â\n
âYou know, stop being so stubborn!â
What are the standards for Philo Rial anyway? Why do they feel great when they pull carriages?
âHahaha, do your best. So whatâll you do from now on?â\n
âWhat will I do?â\n
âI heard about the commotion at the castle.â
The old man says to me with a somewhat troubled face.
âThat sure travelled quickâ\n
âRumours keep the town lively.â\n
âOh well. I did is so that trash would understand his position.â\n
ââŠâŠThough itâs only a matter of time before you get falsely accused again.â\n
âThatâs what I expected.â\n
âIf possible I donât want to know.â\n
âI believe I asked this some time agoâŠâŠ Are you going to go to Silt Welt or ShirudoFuriden to Class up?\n
(Tl note: Still need some help for names of countries. ă·ă«ăăŽă§ă«ă (Silt Welt) ă·ă«ăăăȘăŒăăł (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 Dragonâs era. But if the class up is controlled by the trash I will also fear for Raphtalia and Firo.\n
I would rather not have that unnecessary anxiety haunting me.\n
It would be best to get a free pass for Class up in any of these two countries.
âWell, I expected you to go to be forced to leave this country someday.â\n
âWhat?â
It seems the old man is nodding his head as if agreeing with himself.\n
What does he mean?
âI would recommend you going to ShiruFuriden. Silt Welt is in turmoilâŠâŠâ\n
âIs that so?â\n
âYeah, humans there are treated just like the demi-humans in this country.â
No wonderâŠâŠ It would be unsuitable for me who is a human.
âButââ\n
âThanks for the help. Iâll be going to ShirudoFuridenâ
We finished loading and got into the carriage.
âWell then, I expect you to visit a great number of shops.â\n
âThanks, Oh right. Do you know of any weapons that have a soul attribute, or can damage ghosts?â\n
âI see, so youâve gotten to the point where you need to prepare for such enemies.â\n
âI can make something cheaply from certain materials.â\n
âI cannot match you any more. If possible donât come back for a while. Iâll tell you where you can get materials.â\n
âI understand. Thanks for all the help. Then, letâs go.â\n
âOkay~â\n
âSee ya. old man.â\n
âLaterâ
Firo pulls the rattling carriage.\n
Our present goal is a Class up. It seems to be quite far into the future.\n
With Firoâs running speed we should arrive in two weeks.
âThats!â
I hear a loud voice outside.\n
Before leaving the castle town a something hits the metal carriage.
âI found you!â\n
ââŠâŠWhat?â
After making Firo stop, a little girl looks into the carriage and points at me.\n
Behind the girl is a knight-like guy.\n
These guys seems to have followed us for a while.
âYou did something terrible to father!â\n
âHmm?â
What? The girl with blue hair that I am not familiar with gets closer.
âWhatâs with you.â\n
âDonât play dumb! I know that you canât hide it! You are an accomplished villain! The atrocious Hero of the Shield!â
This goddamn noisy kid. Is she some aristocrat?\n
That reminds me, I sold some cheap accessory to a noble before.\n
Though it wasnât just once or twice. I canât remember how many times any more.
âI see, your father just canât tell quality. I am just smarter.â\n
âWhat did you say!?â
But, Hero of the Shield = Evil personâŠ.. Thatâs quite unpleasant.\n
Oh well, itâs too late now.
âTell you father. To polish his aesthetic sense next time.â\n
âBoo,BooâŠâŠ Iâll never admit it, mother is wrong, the Hero of the Shield is a bad person! Iâll punish you!â
The subordinate knights step forward according to the girlâs order.
âHm. can you keep them company Firo?â\n
âwhat~?â\n
âJust go.â\n
âOkayâ\n
âAhâŠâŠâ
Firo stares at the goddamn kid and seems preoccupied.
âHoly Bird?â\n
âEh?â
Firo inclines her neck and looks at the goddamn kid puzzled.
âHurry up and go!â\n
âOkay~â
Firo nods, and the carriage suddenly takes off.
âAH Waitâââââ! Donâr run awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!â
The voice of the goddamn kid fades into the distance.\n
The castle town sucks as expected. Other than coming for shopping I would rather stay away.\n
