Chapter 15 – Where’s the Send-Off for the Hero?! [Dust’s POV]
[Dust’s POV]
I spent my time in the village until I turned 18, but I just couldn’t stand it.
At the village square, Claire, who was supposed to be mine, was having a friendly conversation with Gett.
After successfully getting along with Alicia, he’s getting cozy with Claire.
That mob’s habits really bother me.
I thought about using the Karma Ticket on Gett multiple times, but he’ll die soon anyway.
It would be a waste to use a ticket on that mob that’s dying soon anyway.
But it still pisses me off.
“Gett, let’s start training today.”
“Yeah, I’m counting on you.”
“Fufu, I’m the one accompanying you in training. Thanks to Gett, my sword skills have improved. Let’s go!”
Gett and Claire clashed with each other with weapons.
Gett blocked Claire’s two-handed sword with his shield, and when he tried to attack with his mace, Claire quickly took a step back.
It’s just child’s play.
They’re supposed to be here to train me, but all they do is train with Gett.
The damn Gett seems to enjoy being surrounded by three girls who are two years older than him, and what’s more, Alicia sometimes joins in on their training.
Unlike me, the Hero, they can’t even properly train their weapon skills without going that far.
But it’s coming to an end.
After Claire and the others leave, it’ll be me, Alicia, and Gett setting off on an adventure. Gett will return to the village soon after.
Then, he’ll be killed by bandits.
There’s really no need to take Gett on the adventure.
Alicia and I will head towards the city and wait there until someone comes to inform us that the village has been attacked by bandits.
Then, I’ll save the villagers who are in trouble, get a lot of Brave Points, win over Alicia, and when Gett dies, I’ll feel better.
There’s only a good future ahead.
When Gett and Claire’s training was finished, the mage spoke to Gett.
“Gett-kun, I want to see your Fire magic.”
“I’m still in training.”
“That’s not true. Gett-kun is so good at using the mace that he can even defeat me, and his fire magic has power that surpasses that of royal mages. Having been trained by the famous Lord Zes for many years, Gett-kun has the power to rank among the top 10 in the country. I’m sure of it.”
Gah, that Gett’s so good at buttering up women, damn it!!
After that, Gett taught magic to the mage, and he even taught healing magic to the healer.
Furthermore, Alicia also approaches Gett often.
“Gett’s hands are muscular, nyaa~”
Alicia touched Gett’s hand.
Damn it!
I drank alcohol and spent time idly.
◇
It’s finally here.
Claire has gone back. It’s time for me to go on an adventure.
I won’t take Gett with me.
I’ll tell him directly.
I walked to the entrance of the village.
In the game, all the villagers would see me off. They’d see us three off, but I won’t take Gett!
I’ll embarrass him and show everyone how incompetent he is!
I started running without thinking.
Upon reaching the entrance to the village… Huh…? Strange…
Nobody’s here.
Everyone should be seeing me off like in the game.
Are they all mistaken about the day I’m leaving?
There are no villagers or even Alicia!
What’s going on?!!
I ran to Alicia’s house.
Bang, bang!
“Alicia! Open up! I’ll take you on an adventure with me!”
Is she not home?
Then, I saw a crowd of people near the church.
I started running.
Apparently, Alicia and Gett were at the church. And there are a lot of villagers gathered.
For some reason, the villagers were conducting combat training.
“What are you all doing?!! I’m about to set off as the hero!! Where’s my send-off?!”
“Dust, shouldn’t you get going soon?”
“There’s supposed to be a send-off!! Gaaaah!”
Gett approached me.
“Dust, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“Shut up! Alicia! Come here!”
“No, nyaa. I don’t want to, nyaa.”
“Just listen and come. Alicia and I are destined to go together!”
When I tried to grab Alicia’s arm, Alicia dodged it.
“Just listen and come with me!! There’ll be bandits here, it’ll be dangerous!”
“So you’ve heard about the bandits that have recently come in from the city? Dust can go on his adventure. We’re here training to deal with bandits. I see, you’re trying to leave after hearing the bandits are coming, huh?”
“I can defeat the bandits!”
“If you can, then go ahead and defeat them.”
“I can do it! Once Gett dies, I’ll take care of them!”
“Dust, I have no idea what you’re talking about. You need to calm down.”
I tried to slash at Old Man Zes, but I was countered by a mace and ended up rolling on the ground.
“D-dammit! Aaaargh!”
I ran and fled the village.
I left the village and thought for a bit.
Those bastards… I’m the Hero!
They should respect me!
Whatever. If I let the village get attacked, Gett will die, and the village will be in trouble. Then, when I show up and save everyone, I’ll earn Brave Points and become a hero all at once.
And if I save Alicia on the verge of death, she might follow me.
Kukukukukukku, I’ll hide near the village and wait for the bandits to attack.
That’s when I’ll shine.
I’ll lay low in the forest for a bit.
W-whoaa!!! I sensed a presence and hid.
A Black Wolf?! What’s it doing here?!
Is it a familiar summoned by the bandits’ boss?
Is it going to see through my Stealth skill and come closer?
Black Wolves have a high sensing ability.
I decided to run away, but the Black Wolf ran after me.
In the end, I was caught up and got bitten in the butt.
I turned around and tried to slash the wolf with my sword, but the wolf avoided it and bit me in the shin this time.
“Damn it! Come here, you dog!!”
I attacked many times and the wolf was able to avoid them all.
Finally, I was surrounded.
There are one, two——ten bandits!
“You better behave! I’ll let you choose. Get killed and then robbed, or hand over your stuff without being killed. Which one do you prefer?”
“I-I’m a hero!”
At that moment, an arrow pierced my thigh.
“Gaaargghhhh!!!”
“So you choose to die…”
“W-wait!!”
“Hmm?”
“I’ll hand over my stuff!”
“Oi! You mean ‘Please let me give my stuff to you!’ don’t you?”
“Please let me give my stuff to you!”
“Then do it now!”
I immediately took off my armor and placed it along with my sword.
“Oi! What about your boots?! And your clothes too!”
“…O-okay.”
“Where are you manners?! Speak formally!!”
“I understand!!”
I handed over my clothes and boots, standing there in nothing but my underwear.
“You look disgusting. Beat him up!”
“That’s not what you said!”
“Oi! I said I wouldn’t kill you, but I never said anything about not beating you up, did I?”
After that, I was beat up so roughly that I lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I was still wearing only my underwear, but no one was there.
D-did they spare me?
“Damn it! Those bandits, I’ll kill them all!”
Rustle, rustle!
“H-huh, w-what the?!”
Six goblins appeared and pointed their weapons at me.
“Aaaahhhhh!!!”
I ran as fast as I could, fleeing for my life, heading towards the village.
I returned to the village battered and bruised, in nothing but my underwear after being repeatedly hit and pelted with stones by goblins.
