I Reincarnated as the Mob Flame User Destined to Die in the Early Stages of the Game, but When I Cleared the Event Before the Protagonist, the Heroines Followed Me - Chapter 11 - Helping the Village
Chapter 11 – Helping the Village
To prepare for heading into the Kobolds’ dungeon, I returned home first.
When I got home, my mother was talking to a neighbor aunt.
“Welcome back. You’ve come at just the right time.”
“Did something happen?”
“Well, it seems slimes have appeared near the village.”
“Should I defeat them?”
“Could you, please?”
“Gett-kun, I’m sorry. There have been more injured people lately. I can’t pay you, but I’d like to ask you to hunt slimes.”
“Okay, I’ll go.”
I defeated the slime and returned to the house.
“I’ve defeated over 30 of them.”
When I returned home, an old man from the neighborhood was there.
“Gett, there’s been a lot of goblins lately.”
“If you just tell me where, I’ll take care of them.”
I defeated the goblin and returned home, and the next day I was asked to exterminate orcs.
After defeating the orcs and returning home, I spent a week defeating monsters near the village.
…It’s strange.
It’s clearly different from when I was playing the game.
Requests like these didn’t happen so frequently.
Is it because Dust doesn’t hunt many monsters?
Come to think of it, in the game Dust was thanked for defeating monsters many times.
But Dust doesn’t seem to be hunting monsters that much at the moment.
And that’s not all.
Recently, Old Man Zes hasn’t been hunting monsters either.
I think this one is the bigger problem.
Everyone who distanced themselves from Dust seems to be busy receiving training from Old Man Zes. That’s why he’s so busy.
It’s good for the village to have more people who are training their skills, but monster hunting is delayed due to this.
It may be a good thing in the long run, but in the short run, the monsters will appear in the village more often…
If things continue like this, this will be a problem before the bandits event that occurs when I turn 18.
Monsters may attack the village and cause damage.
I should defeat the monsters around the village.
“Father, I want to buy 100 summoning potions.”
“Are you hunting monsters around the village?”
“Yeah.”
“We don’t have 100 bottles, but I’ll make up for the missing amount.”
I bought as much summoning potion as I could afford and left the village.
From that day on, I started hunting monsters around the village.
I threw summoning potions to attract monsters, and 12 goblins, 6 slimes, and 3 orcs appeared.
“High Fire! Fire! Fire!”
I burned the monsters with High Fire area attacks and defeated the remaining enemies with fire.
High Fire = area attack.
Fire = single-target attack.
In terms of efficiency, it would be better to use my mace, heal while taking time to fight, and defeat more monsters.
When using fire magic, if my MP runs out, I need to rest until it recovers.
But I want to train my trump card, and that’s fire magic.
I summoned monsters every day and defeated them with fire magic. As I hunt monsters every day, the villagers’ reactions start to change.
“Gett, thank you for your hard work.”
“Gett-kun, thank you for always hunting monsters.”
“Don’t push yourself too hard.”
I receive words that should have been said to the protagonist Dust.
And I was given a lot of summoning potions as donations.
Furthermore,
“I’ll hunt a lot, nyaa!!”
Alicia also started accompanying me on monster hunting.
When I threw the summoning potion, the monsters gathered.
“They’re all slimes, nyaa~”
“There are a lot of them, almost 50. High Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!”
After I used magic to reduce the number to a certain extent, Alicia swiftly approached the slimes.
She started knocking them down one by one with her dual-wielded long knives.
I caught up from behind and beat them with my mace, and when we were done defeating all of the slimes, she gave me a high five.
When Alicia and I returned to the village, Dust glared at me.
“Hey! You fatty! Don’t get cocky!”
“Gett isn’t fat, nyaa.”
“Tch! You’re being fooled by this idiot Gett.”
“Gett isn’t an idiot, nyaa.”
“Let’s go already.”
“Wait! Don’t run away! Don’t get carried away just because you’re hunting a few monsters around the village!”
“Sure, I’ve only been hunting the monsters around the village. But everyone appreciates it.”
“That’s right, it’s helpful to everyone, nyaa~”
“Hmph, just you wait. I’m going to conquer a dungeon that everyone can’t get close to and show you how amazing I am!”
I see, Dust doesn’t know that I have already completed the starting dungeon.
Great. Let’s stir him up a bit.
“Dungeons are dangerous. Even Heroes can be in danger.”
“Hah!! It’s not a problem for me! I’ll clear it quickly and show who’s superior!”
“It’s really dangerous, you know.”
“You! I’m a Hero! It’ll be a piece of cake for me!”
“Okay, good luck then.”
With this, Dust will probably go to the starting dungeon.
And not only will he be shocked by the lack of items, but he also won’t think that I’ve gone into that dungeon.
Moreover, I’ve already hunted many monsters there.
There are probably still a few monsters in the dungeon, but it’ll be difficult to level up.
Alicia and I continued on our way home.
“Wait! You, don’t get too friendly with Alicia!”
“That’s enough, nyaa. I’m going to eat Gett’s Mom’s stew, nyaa.”
“Alicia! You’re mine alone!!”
“Me and Alicia are both hungry.”
“Don’t you talk back!!”
“Dust is all talk, nyaa. He doesn’t kill many nearby monsters, and I’ve heard him talk about going to a dungeon before, but he’s not even hunting that many monsters, nyaa.”
“I’ll do it! I’ll show you my power!”
Dust walked away angrily, as if he were stomping his feet on the ground.
It seems Alicia’s words are more effective than mine.
“Finally, he’s gone.”
“Dust is just all talk, nyaa.”
Dust is really troublesome.
He has a big attitude but doesn’t take any action himself. All he does is complain.
Because of his attitude, villagers never ask him to hunt monsters.
Does Dust realize everyone’s keeping their distance from him?
Still, he does have the talent.
“Let’s go eat some stew, nyaa.”
“Yeah, let’s go.”
Alicia pushed me from behind.
Alicia has become even more beautiful than before.
Dust wants to have Alicia. But the more Dust tries to do something about it, the more Alicia moves away from him.
If I get along too well with Alicia, Dust will turn against me.
I want to get along better with Alicia, but the situation is quite difficult for that right now.
“Alicia, do you know what Dust’s level is?”
“He said his level is above 40, nyaa.”
“Above 40?!!”
“It’s better not to take it seriously. Dust is a liar, nyaa.”
“Yeah, you’re right.”
It’s probably a lie.
But if Dust’s level is really above 40, it’s bad.
