I Got Fired as a Hero Today - Zetro Translation

The morning training session ended, and it was time for a lunch break.

At the servants’ quarters, he has meals with Isabella and Lucia and receives training from Isabella.

This time, they decided to do kumite instead of using swords.

Isabella says that relying solely on the sword is not enough.

It’s a completely new genre for Arata, and it’s refreshing, but it would hurt a lot if he got thrown.

He wonders if there is jiu-jitsu in this world too. He has been thrown multiple times.

“Learning how to take a fall is something you do with your body. Of course!”

“Ouch!”

Isabella’s theory is that in order to survive, it’s better to challenge oneself with various things.

Arata has similar thoughts as well.

He aims to be an adventurer who can do a variety of things reasonably well, rather than someone who specializes in just one thing.

Above all, despite having maxed out the skill [Swordsman], he is losing to Isabella.

In the future, there is a possibility of gaining power that surpasses her abilities, but one cannot disregard the words of the experienced.

The skill [Martial Arts] has been acquired.

Even though he raised it to level 6, it didn’t go any higher, so there must be a limit to Arata’s abilities as well. Is it talent, perhaps?

Besides, martial arts are kind of iffy to begin with.

If it’s martial arts, martial artists, or jiu-jitsu practitioners, they seem suited for combat, but what is body technique? Arata thought.

As soon as he acquired the skill [Martial Arts], his movements improved dramatically, leaving Isabella speechless.

“Now that I think about it, heroes are totally a cheat.”

“I think so too.”

◆◆◆

Today’s afternoon training is also over.

It was live combat training with man-eating wolves, but the heroes were still unable to cope.

It’s something that doesn’t matter to Arata.

Arata mustered up the courage once more and invited Chloe out for a meal.

“Thank you… But I’m busy.”

And then, she hurriedly left.

Sensibly speaking, it reminded him of the time Kotoko rejected him.

It’s not that he’s dating Chloe, but since he came to this other world and relied entirely on her, he probably had some dependency on her.

She is beautiful and takes care of him, so it’s not surprising that Arata, who is lonely, becomes dependent on her.

He thought he would go home quietly today.

With a heavy heart, he set off on his way home.

The dormitory dining hall was crowded with many knights, so he headed to the servants’ dormitory kitchen, but he didn’t feel like making anything.

He goes out to the backyard, sighs, and slumps his shoulders.

There, Isabella was practicing with a wooden sword.

While teaching Arata the basics of being an adventurer, the blood of an adventurer was stirring within him.

Isabella glanced sideways at Arata, who was sitting on the ground with his head down, but ignored him.

What’s going on?

In other words, it’s as if he’s waiting for someone to say, “What’s wrong? Why are you sighing like that?”

Such things are generally troublesome, so Isabella decided to pretend she didn’t see him.

“What’s wrong, Arata-kun? You look so down.”

There was someone who spoke to that man.

It’s Kyle.

“Listen to me, Kyle-san.”

And, as if to say “I’ve been waiting for this,” he clung to Kyle.

Isabella watched the scene and thought, “Arata is so annoying,” lowering her opinion of him.

──It’s Kyle who heard the circumstances with Chloe.

“In other words, Arata-kun, you might have been disliked by that woman. But you want to make up with her, right?”

“Yes…”

Arata was fidgeting, poking the index fingers of both hands at each other.

It was slightly pigeon-toed, and it was creepy.

“Hehehe, leave it to me, Arata-kun. Despite how I look, I, Kyle, am known as a love master.”

Arata suddenly became anxious.

Someone who calls himself a “love master” is not a master at all.

However, for now, he had no choice but to rely on Kyle.

“Master, please teach me.”

“Hmm.”

Clearing his throat, Kyle began to narrate, “Once upon a time, long, long ago…”

It seems like it’s going to take a while, thought Arata.

There was a flower fairy princess and a sea fairy prince.

They loved each other, but they were fairies living in different worlds. They never stopped fighting.

One day, the two who had a big fight became estranged. They loved each other, but they were also stubborn.

The father of the Flower Princess thought the two had broken up and proposed a marriage. The Flower Princess accepted it.

On the day of the wedding, just as it was about to be finalized, the prince of the sea appeared gallantly, abducted the flower princess, and then proposed to her.

The Flower Princess rejected the marriage proposal and united with the Sea Prince.

Arata thought it was just a typical love story.

He felt like yawning, but he held it back.

“The flower that bloomed from the love of two fairies. The Hundred-Year Lily of the Valley. A flower that women long for. If you were to give that flower, which blooms proudly for a hundred years──”

“So, will Chloe’s mood improve too?”

Arata felt as if he had seen the light.

“No woman dislikes receiving flowers, you know. Well, even so──”

And, when he tried to add a supplement,

“Thank you! Kyle-san.”

After saying that, Arata ran off.

“Huh? Wait, Arata-kun! We’re not done talking yet!”

Kyle scratched his head.

“What’s wrong? Kyle.”

Isabella, who had been glancing around, called out.

It seems like she’s worried after all.

“Well, I was talking about the hundred-year lily flower.”

“…Oh, is that the one where you give a flower that’s popular among students and confesses?”

“That’s true, but since it’s impossible to get a hundred-year lily flower, I was going to teach him to buy and give a similar flower, a seven-day white lily flower, but…”

Arata left without listening to the end.

“Well, who would actually go get the real thing?”

He has never heard of anyone risking their life just for a flower.

“What’s wrong with Arata?”

Lucia asked her father, Kyle.

“Ah, Arata-kun is going to give flowers to the girl he likes.”

Lucia’s eyes widened. She seems surprised.

“We might just cross the finish line like this.”

Isabella wasn’t interested in other people’s love stories, but she thought that it wouldn’t be bad for Arata to settle down.

Then, Lucia suddenly burst into tears.

“What’s wrong? Lucia?”

Kyle was flustered.
