Volume 2 – The Trash Heroes Teleport

53 – Class Hierarchy Reversal

 [Yokota’s Perspective] (Brynhildr Kingdom Royal Palace)

(TL: If you forgot who Yokota is go to chap 24. I forgot too so I went and reread.)

Ugh, this is so boring.  

When I got transported to another world, I planned to rile up the guys and make them r*pe Okada, but somehow, things went off-track, and she just up and left. I figured once Okada was gone, the prince would start fawning over me, but seriously, what the hell?  

Of all people, he dotes on that plain, bottom-tier loser Nemoto? No way!  

Prince Ares takes Nemoto’s hand and whispers sweet words to her. That hopelessly unpopular Nemoto looks confused as Ares flirts with her.  

“Minami… You truly have the heart of a beautiful girl—no, a saint. This country is on the brink of crisis. Please, lend me your strength, not just for me, but for the entire Brynhildr Kingdom.”  

“I… I don’t have any power… but if I can be of help to you, Ares-sama, I would be honored.”  

Ugh, as if. Nemoto’s just gonna be used by these people and then thrown away like trash. She’s enjoying this now, but it won’t last!  

“Really?! That’s wonderful! So many citizens have been waiting for your arrival. We’ve even prepared a small party in your honor. Ah, but that outfit isn’t quite suitable for a party, is it? If you’d like, how about trying on a dress?”  

“A d-dress!? M-m-me!?”  

“Not just a dress. Would you dance with me as well?”  

“Dancing… with Ares-sama…?”  

“You don’t have to call me Ares-sama, Minami. Just call me Ares.”  

“A… Ares…”  

“What is it, Minami?”  

“U-uh, um… It’s just too embarrassing!”  

“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. You and I are partners in rebuilding this kingdom, after all.”  

“Partners!? What do you mean by partners?”  

“Hmm, we’ll have plenty of time to discuss that after the party.”  

“O-okay…”  

Ares gently places his hand on Nemoto’s back and starts leading her away, completely ignoring the rest of us. What the hell?! He’s seriously just gonna take her and leave us behind like we don’t even matter?!  

This is ridiculous!!!  

I step in front of them before they can disappear.  

“This is so stupid… Hey, don’t just drag her off into your own little world after summoning us here. How about you quit ignoring us?”  

“Ah, of course, I haven’t forgotten you. I’ve ordered my attendants to prepare everything you need to live comfortably for the time being. If there’s anything else you require, just ask. I’ll do my best to provide it… on the condition that you lend your strength to the Brynhildr Kingdom, that is.”  

Tch. Even when I glare at him, Ares remains completely unfazed. Worse yet, he’s exactly my type—insanely handsome.  

If only he weren’t so obsessed with Nemoto, I could’ve made him my number one pick…  

“Listen up, Prince. Just because you’re a little good-looking doesn’t mean you can act all high and mighty. Why the hell are you fawning over a boring nobody like Nemoto? Okada’s the one who called her a saint, but you’re seriously just believing whatever he says? Are you an idiot?”  

“I think love is about trust. And I trust her judgment. I understand things far better than you do, at least.”  

“Hah!? Do you even realize how incredibly rude you’re being to me right now?”  

Ares looks at me with those calm, piercing blue eyes, like he can see right through me. It pisses me off so much that I grab his fancy little necktie.  

Even as I glare at him, Ares stays completely unfazed. Nemoto, standing behind him, fidgets nervously, which only makes me more irritated.  

Then, I feel a hand touch my arm. But it’s not Ares’—it’s some other guy’s.  

“Haha, give it up, Yokota-san. The prince totally hates you. No matter how much you try to act sexy, it’s not working at all. Might as well just give up~.”  

“Oi, Oki, who the hell do you think you are, talking to me like that?! Don’t you dare touch me with those nasty hands you don’t even wash after jerking off, you disgusting pig!”  

I slap Oki’s hand away and go to kick him like usual—but pain shoots through my foot.  

Something huge is blocking my way. A massive turtle. Oki’s hiding behind it, using its hard shell as a shield.  

“Threats won’t work anymore~. Y’see, I’ve got a cheat skill now. I’m definitely stronger than you are, Yokota-san. But hey, if you get down on your knees, naked, and beg real nicely, maybe I’ll help you out~.”  

What…? Does this bastard seriously think our social standing has flipped?!  

Like hell I’ll let that happen!!!
